In 2007, at a heavily hyped press event in San Francisco, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs stood on
stage and unveiled a revolutionary product that not only broke the mould but also set an entirely new
paradigm for computer-based phones. The look, interface and core functionality of nearly every
smartphone to come along since is, in some form or another, derived from the original iPhone’s
innovative touchscreen-centric design.
Among some of the ground-breaking features was an expansive and responsive display from
which to check email, stream video, play audio, and browse the internet with a mobile browser that
loaded full websites, much like what is experienced on personal computers. Apple’s unique iOS
operating system allowed for a wide range of intuitive gesture-based commands and eventually, a
rapidly growing warehouse of downloadable third-party applications.
Most importantly, the iPhone reoriented people’s relationship with smartphones. Up to then,
they were generally geared toward businesspeople and enthusiasts who saw them as an invaluable
tool for staying organized, corresponding over email, and boosting their productivity. Apple’s version
took it to a whole other level as a full-blown multimedia powerhouse, enabling users to play games,
watch movies, chat, share content, and stay connected to all the possibilities that we are all still
constantly rediscovering.

Today, Snyder is seeing the fruits of the collaboration. In a recent issue of the Journal of
Comparative Psychology (Vol. 117, No. 3), the research group published the first study of giant panda
cub-rearing and separation. The study is the first step in examining the impact of a common breeding
practice in China: separating captive cubs before they are six months old so that the mothers will be
able to reproduce again sooner. Cubs in the wild stay with their mothers for 1.5 to 2.5 years.
Snyder and her co-authors, including Maple and psychologist Mollie Bloomsmith, PhD, theorize
that separating cubs from their mothers too early may harm their social development, and could
underlie why so many captive pandas fail to breed. Captive males often show little sexual interest in
females or are too aggressive.
The research team has also conducted urinary and behavioral analyses of female giant pandas
during the breeding season, which is generally in the spring, and is examining the behavior of giant
panda mothers. Graduate student Megan Wilson, who also has worked in Chengdu, is investigating
sequences of play-fighting for her dissertation. And former graduate student and Chengdu researcher
Loraine Tarou, PhD, examined giant panda cognition.
 Tarou, now an assistant professor at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, is the first to
examine how captive pandas forage for food and learn to adapt to changes in their environment. She
compared her findings with the cognition of the spectacled bear and found that while both use spatial
memory to find food, the spectacled bears used visual cues the pandas did not pick up on.
The finding indicates that giant pandas' reliance on spatial memory alone may cause them to
have difficulty when their food sources are abruptly changed or moved--a big problem for an animal
that consumes nearly 30 pounds of bamboo a day.
While such basic research may not have immediate application, says Tarou, it is contributing to
scientists' growing knowledge of the species.

Martin Luther King, Jf, is well- known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous
speeches, among which is his moving “I have a dream” speech. But fewer people know much about
King’s childhooD. M.L., as he was called, was bom in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, at the home of his
maternal grandfather. M.L.’s grandfather purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, twenty
years before M.L was bom. His grandfather allowed the house to be used as a meeting place for a
number of organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks. M.L. grew up
in the atmosphere, with his home being used as a community gathering place, and was no doubt
influenced by it.
M.L.’s childhood was not especially eventfully. His father was a minister and his mother was a
musician. He was the second of three children, and he attended all black schools in a black
neighborhood. The neighborhood was not poor, however. Auburn Avenue was an area of banks,
insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers, and other businesses and services.
Even in the face of Atlanta’s segregation, the district thrived. Dr. King never forgot the community
spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial prejudice that was a huge barrier keeping
black Atlantans from mingling with whites.

C. Martin Luther King’s childhood. D. The neighborhood King grew up in

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.
Carbon dating can be used to estimate the age of any organic natural material; it has been used
successfully in archeology to determine the age of ancient artifacts or fossils as well as in a variety of
other fields. The principle underlying the use of carbon dating is that carbon is a part of all living
things on Earth. Since a radioactive substance such as carbon-14 has a known half-life, the amount of
carbon-14 remaining in an object can be used to date that object.
 Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,570 years, which means that after that number of years, half of the
carbon- 14 atoms have decayed into nitrogen-14. It is the ratio of carbon-14 in that substance that
indicates the age of the substance. If, for example, in a particular sample the amount of carbon-14 is
roughly equivalent to the amount of nitrogen-14, this indicates that around half of the carbon-14 has
decayed into nitrogen-14, and the sample is approximately 5,570 years old.
Carbon dating cannot be used effectively in dating objects that are older than 80,000 years. When
objects are that old, much of the carbon-14 has already decayed into nitrogen-14, and the miniscule
amount that is left doesn’t provide a reliable measurement of age. In the case of older objects, other
age- dating methods are available, methods which use radioactive atoms with longer half-lives than
carbon has.
Question 44: This passage is mainly about .
A. archeology and the study of ancient artifacts
B. one method of dating old objects
C. various uses for carbon
D. the differences between carbon-14 and nitrogen-14
Question 45: Which of the following is NOT true about carbon-14?
A. It and nitrogen always exist in equal amounts in any substance.
B. Its half-life is more than 5,000 years.
C. It can decay into nitrogen-14.
D. It is radioactive.
Question 46: The word “it” in paragraph I refers to .
A. carbon dating B. the age
C. any organic natural material D. archeology
Question 47: The word “underlying” in paragraph I could best be replaced by .
A. below B. requiring
C. serving as a basis for D. being studied through
Question 48: The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses .
A. what substances are part of all living things
B. how carbon-14 decay intonitrogen-14
C. why carbon-14 has such a long half-life
D. various other age-dating methods
Question 49: It is implied in the passage that .
A. carbon dating has no known uses outside of archeology
B. fossils cannot be age-dated using carbon-14
C. carbon dating could not be used on an item containing nitrogen
D. carbon-14 does not have the longest known half-life
Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that if an item contains more carbon-14 than
nitrogen- 14, then the item is .
A. not as much as 5,570 years old
B. too old to be age-dated with carbon-14
C. too radioactive to be used by archeologists
D. more than 5.570 years old

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
A team of Russian scientists has challenged the theory that the woolly mammoths became extinct
10,000 years ago at the end of the Ice Age. The scientists have reported that the beasts may have
survived until 2000 B.C. on an island off the coast of Siberia, where researchers uncovered 29
fossilized woolly mammoth teeth ranging in age from 4,000 to 7,000 years. The question to be asked
now is, how did these prehistoric pachyderms survive in their island environment? One possibility is
that they adapted to their confined surroundings by decreasing their bulk. This theory is based on their
smaller tooth size, which has led scientists to believe that they were only 6 feet tall at the shoulder
compared with 10 feet of their full-sized counterpart. But would this be enough to enable them to
survive thousands of years beyond that of other mammoths? Researchers are still working to uncover
the reasons for this isolated group's belated disappearance.

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
As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have
become increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks.
High-fat diets and "life in the fast lane" have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of
heart failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly longer and
quite surprising.
Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher percentage of
heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on any
other day of the week. In addition, people are more susceptible to heart attacks in the first few hours
after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon in the mid-1980, and have since
discovered a number of possible causes. An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and
concentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all
contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 10:00 A.M.
In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors. Statistics
reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the few days
immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And unmarried men are more at risk for heart
attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is thought to be linked in some way to all of
the aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why
and how heart failure is triggered.
