41. Dangdut is a genre of Indonesian folk music partly derived and fused from Hindustani,
Arabic music, and to a lesser extent, Malay and local folk music. Dangdut is a very
popular genre in Indonesia and Malaysia because of its musical instrumentation and
vocals. Indonesians dance somewhat similarly to the groomer while listening to
dangdut music but in a much slower version. Dangdut features a tabla and gendang
beat. Dangdut is famous throughout Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and other
Malay-speaking regions.

A dangdut band typically consists of a lead singer, male or female, backed by four to
eight musicians. Instruments usually include a tabla, gendang, flute, mandolin, guitars,
sitar, drum machines, and synthesizers. The term has been expanded from desert-style
music to embrace other musical styles. Modern dangdut incorporates influences from
Middle Eastern pop music, Western rock, house music, hip hop music, disco music,
contemporary R&B, and reggae.

The popularity of dangdut peaked in the 1990s. By 2012, it was still broadly popular in
the western parts of Indonesia, but the genre was becoming less popular in the eastern
parts, apart from Maluku. Meanwhile, more regional and faster-paced forms of dangdut
(as opposed to slower, Bollywood- influenced dangdut) have risen in popularity.

43. Social workers are often the first people met by a person needing human services. Social
workers spend part of their day in an office setting or group residence, and the rest go
to people's homes.

Child welfare workers help children and teens in abusive situations. They investigate
and report instances of neglect or abuse and take action, if necessary, to place children
in foster homes. Medical social workers help patients and their families when diseases
such as AIDS or Alzheimer's cause suffering. They help a patient and his family adjust
to the new situation. School social workers work within school systems to help children
with emotional problems. These students are often put into special education
classrooms simply because they cannot control their behaviors. A school social worker
works with the family of such a student to try to integrate him or her back into the
general school population.

Industrial or occupational social workers work within a personnel department of a

business to help employees cope with job pressures or personal problems that affect the
quality of their work.

Gerontology social workers run support groups for the elderly. They also advise the
elderly and their family members on the subjects of long-term housing and health care.

A bachelor's degree, and often a master's degree, is the minimum requirement for a
professional position in social work. However, small agencies may accept some
community college courses in psychology or sociology. In such places, you may find a
position available as Gerontology social workers run support groups for the elderly.

45. To date, Canada has produced only one classic children's tale to rank with Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland and the works of Mark Twain; this was Lucy Maud
Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables. Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in Clinton,
Prince Edward Island. Her mother died soon after her birth, and when her father went
to Saskatchewan to assume a business position, she moved in with her grandparents in
Cavendish, Prince Edward Island. There she went to school, and later qualified to be a
teacher.

Montgomery wrote the Anne books while living in Cavendish and helping her
grandmother at the post office. The first of the books, Anne of Green Gables, was
published in 1908, and in the next three years she wrote two sequels. Like Montgomery,
the heroine of the book is taken in by an elderly couple who live in the fictional town
of Avonlea, and Montgomery incorporated many events from her life in Cavendish into
the Anne books.

In 1911, Montgomery married Ewan MacDonald, and the couple soon moved to
Ontario, where she wrote many other books. However, it was her first efforts that
secured her prominence, and the Anne books are still read all around the world. Her
novels have helped create a warm picture of Prince Edward Island's special character.
Several movies, entertainment shows, a television series, and a musical drama have
been based on her tales, and today visitors scour the island for locations described in
the book.

(A) Canada
(B) The work of Mark Twain

Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture. Marring our
gardens is one of the milder effects of weeds-any plants that thrive where they are
unwanted. They clog (line) waterways, destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming.
Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for one-third of all crop loss. They
compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants.

The global need for weed control has been answered mainly by the chemical industry.
Its herbicides are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems,
particularly if misused. Toxic compounds threaten animal and public health when they
accumulate in food plants, ground water, and drinking water. They also harm workers
who apply them.

In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more
ecologically sound. Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems.
Hence, scientists are exploring the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms,
primarily insects and microorganisms.

The biological agents now in use are harmless to humans and are environmentally
benign. They can be chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops
and other plants untouched. In contrast, some of the most effective chemicals kill
virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only those that are naturally
resistant or have been genetically modified for resistance. Furthermore, a number of
biological agents can be administered only once, after which no added applications are
needed. Chemicals typically must be used several times per growing season.

With what topic does this passage primarily deal?

(A) The importance of the chemical industry
(B) The dangers of toxic chemicals
(C) Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones
(D) A proposal to ban the use of all herbicides
(E) Chemicals typically must be used several times per growing season

47. The word "innate" in line 17 is closest in meaning to

(A) Natural
(B) Effective
(C) Organic
(D) Active
(E) Alter

48. Like mammals, birds claim their own territories. A bird's territory may be small or large.
Some birds claim only their nest and the area right around it, while others claim far
larger territories that include their feeding areas. Gulls, penguins, and other waterfowl
nest in huge colonies, but even in the biggest colonies, each male and his mate have
small territories of their own immediately around their nests.

Male birds defend their territory chiefly against other males of the same species. In
some cases, a warning call or threatening pose may be all the defense needed, but in
other cases, intruders may refuse to leave peacefully

What is the main topic of this passage?

(A) Birds that live in colonies
(B) Birds’ mating habits
(C) The behavior of birds
(D) Territoriality in birds
(E) Male birds’ defense

49. According to the passage, male birds defend their territory primarily against
(A) female birds
(B) birds of other species
(C) males of their own species
(D) mammals
(E) females of their own species
