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 30 to 34.

A recent investigation by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey shows that strange animal behavior might
help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences in a ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter of a
fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and 5 flew about wildly: dogs yelped and ran around uncontrollably.
Scientists believe the animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as several days before the
mishap. Animals were notes as being restless for several weeks before a Tashkent, Uzbekistan, earthquake. An
hour before the disaster, domestic animals refused to go indoors and dogs howled and barked furiously. In 1960, an
earthquake struck Agadir in Morocco. Survivors recall that stray animals, including dogs, were seen streaming out
of town before the earthquake. In a safari zoo near San Francisco, llamas would not eat the evening before a 1979
quake, and they ran around wildly all night.
Unusual animal behavior preceding earthquakes has been noted for centuries. British Admiral Robert
Fitzroy reported huge flocks of screaming seabirds over Conception, Chile, in 1835. An hour and half later, dogs
were seen fleeing, and ten minutes later the town was destroyed. Similar stories of chickens running around in
apparent states of panic, horses trembling and dogs barking incessantly were recorded throughout the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries by survivors of earthquake destruction in India, Yugoslavia, Peru, Mexico and the Unites
States.
10 In 1976 after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a devastating quake. Although
hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions of other people and
thus keep the death toll at a lower level.

Question 30: What prediction may be made by observing animal behavior?

A. An impending earthquake B. The number of people who will die
C. The ten-kilometer radium from the epicenter D. The fact that an earthquake has occurred.
Question 31: All of the following statement are true EXCEPT
A. some animals may be able to sense an approaching earthquake
B. by observing animal behavior scientist perhaps can predict earthquakes
C. the Chines have successfully predicted an earthquake and saved may lives
D. only dogs and horses seem to possess the special perception that allows them to predict earthquakes
Question 32: In line 3 the word "epicenter" is nearest in meaning to
A. stratosphere B. Contour C. Periphery D. Core.
Question 33: The word "evacuate" closest in meaning to
A. remove B. exile C. Destroy D. emaciate
Question 34: The passage implies that if scientist can accurately predict earthquakes there will be
A. fewer animal going crazy B. a lower death rate
C. fewer people evacuated D. fewer environmental changes

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 35 to 42.

Napoleon Bonaparte's ambition to control all the area around the Mediterranean Sea led him and his French
soldiers to Egypt. After losing a naval battle, they were forced to remain there for three years. In 1799, while
constructing a fort, a soldier discovered a 5 piece of stele (stone pillar bearing an inscription) known as the
Rosetta stone. This famous stone, which would eventually lead to the deciphering of ancient, Egyptian
hieroglyphics dating to 3100 B.C., was written in three languages: hieroglyphics (picture writing), demotic (a
shorthand version of hieroglyphics), and Greek. Scientists 10 discovered that the characters, unlike those in
English, could be written from right to left and in other directions as well.

Twenty-three years, after discovery of the Rosetta stone, Jean Francois 14 Champollion, a French philologist,
fluent in several languages, was able to decipher the first word - Ptolemy – name of an Egyptian ruler. This name
was written inside an oval called a "cartouche." Further investigation revealed that cartouches contained names of
important people of that period. Champollion painstakingly continued his search 19 and was able to increase his
growing list of known phonetic signs. He and an Englishman, Thomas Young, worked independently of each other
to unravel the deeply hidden mysteries of this strange language. Young believed that sound values could be
assigned to the symbols, while Champollion insisted that the pictures represented words.
