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 31 to 35.

Dolphins are one
of the most intelligent species on the planet, which makes them a very
interesting animal to scientists. In their natural habitats, dolphins use
various vocalization techniques.
They whistle and squeak to recognize members of their pod, identify and protect
their young, and call out warnings of danger. They also make clicking sounds
used for echolocation to find food and obstacles in dark and murky waters.

Amazingly, the
whistling sound that the bottlenose dolphin makes has been found to have a
similar pattern to human language. They always make conversational sounds when
they greet each other. If you listen to dolphins’ squeaks and squeals, it will
sound like they are having a conversation.

Dolphins usually use both sound and body
language to communicate with each other. It is through gesture and body
language, however, that most of their communication with humans comes. Dolphins
can be trained to perform complicated tricks. This suggests they have a high
level of intelligence and communication capacity. If they work for a long time
with a trainer, they are able to recognize and understand human commands.

A lot of dolphin
communication has been studied using dolphins in captive environments. These
studies have been criticized because some marine biologists believe that
dolphins living in aquariums or research centers cannot be considered
“normal.” Even so, most believe
that studying dolphin communication in captivity is useful for beginning to
understand the complexity of dolphin communication. After all, dolphins are one
of the most intelligent animals. Their ability to communicate is impressive and
worthy of study.

Question 31: What
would be the most suitable title for the passage?

            A. Communications in
dolphins

            B. Intelligent
mammals in captivity

            C. Dolphins’
social tendencies with humans

            D. Complex patterns in dolphin life

Question 32: In line 2, the word vocalization is closest in meaning to____________.

            A. making gestures          B. creating words       C. producing sounds       D.
closing eyes

Question 33: According
to paragraph 4, what do some marine biologists think about captive dolphins?

            A. Their
relationships are too personal with marine biologists.

            B. They can’t be
considered accurate subjects for biological studies.

            C. They can
communicate exactly the same as humans do.

            D. They easily demonstrate how dolphins
act in the wild.

Question 34: All
of the following are true about dolphin communication EXCEPT____________

            A. dolphins’ squeals
and squeaks sound conversational to the human ear

            B. dolphins’ clicking
sounds are sometimes used to greet humans

            C. communication
using sounds and gestures occurs between dolphins

            D. body language and gestures are used
for communication with humans

Question 35: In
line 17, the word “most” refers to ____________

            A. the majority of marine biologists             B. a few bottlenose dolphins

            C. a lot of
bottlenose dolphins                      D. the minority of marine biologists

 

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 36 to 42.

There are many
theories of aging, but virtually all fall into the category of being hypotheses
with a minimum of supporting evidence. One viewpoint is that aging occurs as
the body’s organ systems become less efficient. Thus failures in the immune
system, hormonal system, and nervous system could all produce characteristics
that we associate with aging. Following a different vein, many current
researchers are looking for evidence at the cellular and sub cellular level.

It has been shown that cells such as human
fibroblasts (generalized tissue cells) grown in culture divide only a limited
number of times and then die. (Only cancer cells seem immortal in this
respect). Fibroblast cells from an
embryo divide more times than those taken from an adult. Thus some researchers
believe that aging occurs at the cellular level and is part of the cell’s
genetic makeup. Any event that disturbs the cell’s genetic machinery such as
mutation, damaging chemicals in the cell’s environment, or loss of genetic
material, could cause cells to lose their ability to divide and thus bring on
aging. Other theories of aging look at different processes. Chronological aging
refers to the passage of time since birth and is usually measured in years.
While chronological age can be useful in estimating the average status of a
large group of people, it is a poor indicator of an individual person’s status
because there is a tremendous amount of variation from one individual to the
next in regard to the rate at which biological age changes occur. For example,
on the average, aging results in people losing much of their ability to perform
strenuous activities, yet
some elderly individuals are excellent marathon runners.

Another type of
aging is cosmetic aging, which consists of changes in outward appearance with
advancing age. This includes
changes in the body and changes in other aspects of a person’s appearance, such
as the style of hair and clothing, the type of eyeglasses, and the use of a
hearing aid. Like chronological aging, it is frequently used to estimate the
degree to which other types of aging have occurred. However, it is an
inaccurate indicator for either purpose because of variation among individuals
and because a person’s appearance is affected by many factors that are not part
of aging, including illness, poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight
