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 question from 41 to 50
The principle of use and disuse states that those parts of organisms' bodies that are used grown
larger Those parts that are not tend to wither away. It is an observed fact that when you excercise
particular muscles they grow. Those that are never used dimish. By examining a mans body, we can
tell which muscles he uses and. which he doesn't, we may even be able to guess his profession or his
reaction. Enthusiasts of the "body- building"cult make use of the principle of use and disuse to "build"
their bodies, almost like a piece of sculpture into whatever unnatural shape is demanded by fashion in
this peculiar minority culture. Muscles are not the only parts of the body that respond to use in this
kind of way. Walk barefoot and you acquire harder skin on your soles. It is easy to tell a farmer from
a bank teller by looking at their hands alone. The farmers hands are horny, hardenedby long exposure
to rough work. The teller's hands are relatively soft.
The principle of use and disuse enables animals to become better at the job of surviving in their
world progressively better during their lifetime as a result of living in that world. Humans, through
direct exposure to sunlight, or lack of It, develop a skin color which equips them better to survive in
the particular local conditions
Too much sunlight is dangerous. Enthusiastic sunbathers with very fair skins are susceptible to
skin cancer. Too little sunlight, on the other hand, leads to vitamin-D deficiency and rickets. The
brown pigment melanin which is synthesized under the influence of sunlight, makes a screen to
protect the underlying tissues from the harmful effects of further sunlight. If a suntanned person
moves to a less sunny climate, the melanin disappears and the body is able to benefit from what little
sun there is. This can be represented as an instance of the principle of use and disuse: skin goes brown
when it is "used", and fades to white when it is not.
Question 18: What does the pasage mainly discuss?
 A. How the principles of use and disuse change people's concepts of themselves.
B. The changes that occur according to the principle of use and disuse
C. The way in which people change themselves to conform to fashion.
D. The effects of the sun on the principle of use and disuse.
Question 19: The phrase "wither away" in bold is closest in meaning to
A. split B. rot C. perish D. shrink

A. organisms B. bodies C. parts D. muscles
Question 21: According to the passage, men who body build.

Question 22: From the passage, it can be inferred that author views body building.
A. with enthusiasm B. as an artistic from
C. with scientific interest D. of doubtful benefic
Question 23: It can be inferred from the passage that the principle of use and dissure enables

A. change their existence B. automatically benefit
C. survive in any condition D. improve their lifetime

writing" developed in the (31) ________ around Mesopotamia (mordem-day Iraq), where the ancent
Sumerian civilization was based, from around 3300 BC onwards. However, the first (32) ________
alphabet was used by the Phoenicians around 1050BC. Their alphabet had 22 letters and it is
estimated that it lasted for 1000 years. The first two signs were called "aleph" and "beth", which in
Greek became "alpha" and "beta"* which gave us the modem word "alphabet" The modem European
alphabet is based on the Greek and (33) ____________ to other European countries under the
Romans. A number of changes took place as time passed. The Romans added the letter G, and the
letter J and V were unknown to people in Shakespear's time.
If we (34) ________ the history of punctuation, we also find some interesting facts. The
Romans used to write quaesto at the end of a sentence in order to show that it was a Question, they

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word for each of the blanks.
Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the
countrys impressive population growth. For every three Canadians in 1945, there were over five in
1966. In September 1966 Canadas population passed the 20 million mark. Most of this surging
growth came from natural increase. The depression of the 1930s and the war had held back marriages,
and the catching-up process began after 1945. The baby boom continued through the decade of the
1950s, producing a population increase of nearly fifteen percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956
This rate of increase had been exceeded only once before in Canadas history, in the decade before
1911 when the prairies were being settled. Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of the
1950s supported a growth in the population, but the expansion also derived from a trend toward
earlier marriages and an increase in the average size of families. In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood
at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the worlk
After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline. It continued falling
until in 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25 years. Partly this decline reflected the low level of births
during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society. Young
people were staying at school longer more women were working; young married couples were buying
automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size of
families It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families
that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution.
Although the growth in Canadas population had slowed down by 1966 (the increase in the
first half of the 1960s was only nine percent) another large population wave was coming over the
horizon. It would be composed of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate
prior to 1957.
Question 35. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Educational changes in Canadian society B. Canada during the Second World War
C. Population trends in postwar Canada D. Standards of living in Canada
Question 36: The word five in bold refers to
A. Canadians B. years C. decades D. marriages

Question 38: The author suggests that in Canada during the 1950's
A. the urban population decreased rapidly B. fewer people married
C. economic conditions were poor D. the birth rate was very high
Question 39: The author mention all of the following as causes of declines in population growth after
1957 EXCEPT
A. people being better educated B. people getting married earlier
C. better standards of living D. couples buying houses
Question 40: It can be inferred from the passage that before the Industrial Revolution
A. families were larger B. population statistics were unreliable
C. the population grew steadily D. economic conditions were bad
