Cleveland in 1914. Three-color signals, operated by hand from a tower in the middle of the street, were
installed in New York in 1918. The first lights of this type to __(29)__ in Britain were in London, on the
junction between St. James’s Street and Piccadilly, in 1925. Automatic signals were installed a year later.
In the past, traffic lights were special. In New York, some lights had a statue on top. In Los Angeles

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 35.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It’s a special, dark place completely different from
anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects,
and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but
sometimes you don’t know it’s raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn’t always reach
the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth’s surface, about six percent. They are found in
tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The
Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest
is in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern
Australia, and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the “lungs of our
planet” because it produces twenty percent of the world’s oxygen. One fifth of the world’s fresh water is
also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world’s species of animals, plants, and
insects live in the Earth’s rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For
example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from
rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only
in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get
from rainforests, it’s surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000
square meters, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for
cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the
destruction of rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more
pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.
(Adapted from Reading Challenge 2 by Casey Malarcher and Andrea Janzen)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the

Plastic bags are used by everybody. From a vegetable vendor to a designer store, everyone seems to
use them. Even though they are one of the modern conveniences that we seem to be unable to do without,
they are responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and using up the precious resources of the
Earth. But, most of us are blissfully unaware of the repercussions that are occurring and will take place
in the future because of the plastic bags.
Every once in a while, the government passes out an order banning store owners from providing plastic
bags to customers for carrying their purchases, with little lasting effect. Plastic bags are very popular with
both retailers as well as consumers because they are cheap, strong, lightweight, functional, as well as a
hygienic means of carrying food as well as other goods. About a hundred billion plastic bags are used
every year in the U.S. alone. And then, when one considers the huge economies and populations of India,
China, Europe, and other parts of the world, the numbers can be staggering. The problem is further
exacerbated by the developed countries shipping off their plastic waste to developing countries like India.
Once they are used, most bags go into landfills. Each year, more and more bags are ending up littering
the environment. Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way into our waterways, parks, beaches,
and streets. And, if they are burned, they infuse the air with toxic fumes. About 100,000 animals, such as
dolphins, turtles, whales, penguins are killed every year due to these bags. Many animals ingest plastic

bags, mistaking them for food, and therefore, die. And worse, the ingested plastic bag remains intact
even after the death and decomposition of the animal. Thus, it lies around in the landscape where another
victim may ingest it. One of the worst environmental effects is that they are non-biodegradable. The
decomposition takes about 400 years. No one will live so long to witness the decomposition of plastic!
Thus, save the environment for the future generations as well as animals.
Petroleum products are diminishing and getting more expensive by the day, since we have used this
nonrenewable resource increasingly. And to make plastic, about 60-100 million barrels of oil are needed
every year around the world. Surely, this precious resource should not be wasted on producing plastic
bags, should it? Petroleum is vital for our modern way of life. It is necessary for our energy requirements
- for our factories, transportation, heating, lighting, and so on. Without viable alternative sources of
energy yet on the horizon, if the supply of petroleum were to be turned off, it would lead to practically
the entire world grinding to a halt. So, what can be done? A tote bag can make a good substitute for
carrying groceries and the shopping. You can keep the bag with the cashier, and then put your purchases
into it instead of the usual plastic bag. Recycling the bags you already have is another good idea. These
can come into use for various purposes, like holding your garbage, instead of purchasing new ones. While
governments may be working out ways to lessen the impact of plastic bags on the environment; however,
each of us should shoulder some of the responsibility for this problem, which ultimately harms us. Plastics
are not only non-biodegradable, but are one of the major pollutants of the sea. For a clean and green
environment, try to use alternatives to plastic whenever and wherever possible. Cut down your use of
plastic, and do your bit to save our planet.

Many universities around the world are proud to have long histories and strong traditions. However,
very few universities can claim to be among the oldest in the world.
Nalanda University, in Bihar, India, was established around 600 BC. It was most likely the world's
first university. In the past, scholars came from Europe, China, and all over India to learn about science,
medicine, the Buddhist religion, and other subjects. The university is in ruins now, but at one time it was
an impressive school with temples, classrooms, libraries, and dormitories.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the University of AI-Karaouine in Fes, Morocco,
is the oldest surviving university in the world. It was probably founded in 859 and became a famous place
to study natural sciences. The first university in Europe is definitely the University of Bologna, in Italy.
It was one of the few universities in Europe that were not influenced by religion. Professors were
forbidden from teaching outside the university, and so students came from all over Europe to study with
its famous teachers.
Question 39. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Subjects that are taught at universities
B. Students at the most famous universities
C. The world’s oldest universities
D. Foreign students at ancient universities

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
Los Angeles dancer, Brian Perez, was eating out with his friends one evening when suddenly everyone
went quiet. To his horror, he saw that the reason for this was that people were checking their phones.
Realising he had to do something to stop this, Brian made a rather daring suggestion. What if they all put
their gadgets in a pile in the middle of the table until they had finished the meal? If anyone picked up their
phone, that person would have to pay the whole bill. And so, it is said, the game of 'phone stacking' was
bom.
The necessity for action like this highlights a major problem in today's society: our inability to
disconnect from technology. But while Brian's idea deals with the obsession in a social context, measures
also need to be taken at home. Some people drop their smartphones into a box the moment they arrive
home, which gives them the chance to interact with the people they live with. The fact that the phone
cannot be heard - it is on silent - nor seen - the flashing lights are hidden by the box - means that they are
no longer tempted to use it.
A less drastic solution is to ban electronic devices at certain times of day when the whole family is
likely to be together, for example at meal times. This can be hard for everyone, from teenagers desperate
to text friends to parents unable to switch off from work. On a normal day, however, dinner takes less
than an hour, and the benefits of exchanging opinions and anecdotes with the rest of the family certainly
makes up for the time spent offline.
Taking a break from technology is one thing, but knowing when to turn off a device is another. Time
seems to stand still in the virtual world, and before you know it, you find that it is three o'clock in the
morning. This is where a digital curfew comes in handy, a set time when all devices must be put away.
Evenings without technology are usually nice and peaceful and make a more agreeable end to the day.
And then it's time for bed. One of the best ways of ensuring you can sleep at night is to ban electronic
devices altogether from the bedroom. Lying next to a machine bursting with information is far from
relaxing, and the sounds it emits during the night can easily wake you up. With technology out of the
room, a line has been drawn between daytime and sleep time, which enables us to switch off ourselves
and drift off to sleep.
