Fort Collins certainly does its part to uphold Colorado’s reputation as one of the country’s most physically
active states. Recreational activities in Fort Collins range from biking and hiking to snowboarding and
kayaking. Thanks to its location at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and the banks of the Poudre River, and
a robust lineup of city-run indoor exercise facilities, Fort Collins residents have plenty of opportunities to get
their hearts pumping. The city’s vibrant craft brewing scene serves as a hard-earned reward for Fort Collins’
active locals.

each of the questions from 36 to 42
Photographic evidence suggests that liquid water once existed in great quantity on the surface of Mars. Two
types of flow features are seen: runoff channels and outflow channels. Runoff channels are found in the southern
highlands. These flow features are extensive systems of interconnecting, twisting channels that seem
to merge into larger, wider channels. They bear a strong resemblance to river systems on Earth, and geologists
think that they are dried-up beds of long-gone rivers that once carried rainfall on Mars from the mountains
down into the valleys. Runoff channels on Mars speak of a time 4 billion years ago, when the atmosphere was
thicker, the surface warmer, and liquid water widespread.
Outflow channels are probably relics of catastrophic flooding on Mars long ago. They appear only in
equatorial regions and generally do not form extensive interconnected networks. Instead, they are probably the
paths taken by huge volumes of water draining from the southern highlands into the northern plains. The
onrushing water arising from these flash floods likely also formed the odd teardrop-shaped "islands" that have
been found on the plains close to the ends of the outflow channels. Judging from the width and depth of the
channels, the flow rates must have been truly enormous – perhaps as much as a hundred times greater than the
105 tons per second carried by the great Amazon River. Flooding shaped the outflow channels approximately
3 billion years ago, about the same time as the northern volcanic plains formed.
Some scientists speculate that Mars may have enjoyed an extended early period during which rivers, lakes,
and perhaps even oceans adorned its surface. A 2003 Mars Global Surveyor image shows what mission
specialists think may be a delta – a fan-shaped network of channels and sediments where a river once flowed
into a larger body of water, in this case a lake filling a crater in the southern highlands. Other researchers go
even further, suggesting that the data provide evidence for large open expanses of water on the early Martian
surface. A computer-generated view of the Martian north polar region shows the extent of what may have been
an ancient ocean covering much of the northern lowlands. The Hellas Basin, which measures some 3,000
kilometers across and has a floor that lies nearly 9 kilometers below the basin's rim, is another candidate for an
ancient Martian sea.

likely existed there in the past.
C. Small-scale gullies on Mars provide convincing evidence that liquid water existed on Mars in the recent past.

When we accept the evidence of our unaided eyes and describe the Sun as a yellow star, we have summed
up the most important single fact about it-at this moment in time.
It appears probably, however, that sunlight will be the color we know for only a negligibly small part of the
Sun's history. Stars, like individuals, age and change. As we look out into space, we see around us stars at all
stages of evolution. There are faint blood-red dwarfs so cool that their surface temperature is a mere 4,000
degrees Fahrenheit, there are searing ghosts blazing at 100,000 degrees Fahrenheit and almost too hot to be
seen, for the great part of their radiation is in the invisible ultraviolet range. Obviously, the "daylight" produced
by any star depends on its temperature; today(and for ages to come) our Sun is at about 10,000 degrees
Fahrenheit, and this means that most of the Sun's light is concentrated in the yellow band of the spectrum,
falling slowly in intensity toward both the longer and shorter light waves.

Page 12 of 50
That yellow "hump" will shift as the Sun evolves, and the light of day will change accordingly. It is natural
to assume that as the Sun grows older, and uses up its hydrogen fuel-which it is now doing at the spanking rate
of half a billion tons a second- it will become steadily colder and redder.
(Adapted from A collection of TOEFL Reading comprehension 4)
Question 31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Faint dwarf stars B. The evolutionary cycle of the Sun
C. The Sun's fuel problem D. The dangers of invisible radiation
Question 32. The word “searing” in the 2nd paragraph is CLOSEST in meaning to_____
A. so strong B. far C. negligible D. unaided
Question 33. What does the word "it" in the last paragraph refer to_____ ?
A. yellow "hump" B. day C. Sun D. hydrogen fuel
Question 34. Why are very hot stars referred to as "ghosts"?
A. They are short- lived. B. They are mysterious.
C. They are frightening. D. They are nearly invisible
Question 35. Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The Sun’s history is still mysterious.
B. All the stars depend on the Sun for light.
C. The Sun is too hot to be seen by naked eyes.
D. The sun never uses up its hydrogen fuel.
Modern civilization is heavily dependent on energy. Without reliable power sources, we couldn’t operate
machines, use transportation, communicate via the Internet, or do many other things. Although everyone
recognizes the importance of energy, deciding what kind of energy the world should use in the future is not a
simple task. The two leading candidates for this role are green energy and nuclear energy.
Currently, most of the energy we use is derived from fossil fuels. Although this energy source has got us this
far, there are several problems with it. For starters, it is a finite resource which is quickly running out. Some
analysts have even estimated that the Earth could run out of coal and oil within the next 50 years. Burning fossil
fuels also creates large amount of pollution, which is harmful to the environment. Although fossil fuels still
provide the majority of our power, governments are seeking better energy sources to use going forward.
Green energy is one option that is becoming increasingly attractive. It includes technologies such as solar,
wind, and hydro power. These are seen as clean sources of energy because they cause very little pollution. In
addition, they are completely renewable, so there is no danger that it will run out. The major disadvantage with
green energy sources is that they are not cheap.
The other alternative is nuclear power. Like green energy, it is also a renewable source of power that will
not run out, and it also doesn’t produce air pollution. In addition, nuclear power is more reliable than green
energy, as it doesn’t depend on sunshine, rain, or wind to operate. The major issues with nuclear power are
safety concerns and nuclear waste. Nuclear power plants create a considerable amount of nuclear waste which
is extremely hazardous to people’s health. If they happen to have a meltdown, this could destroy the surrounding
area for years to come.
The recent nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan brought this reality into the spotlight once again. In
response, Germany announced it would close down eight of its nuclear plants immediately, and close the rest
by 2022. Meanwhile, other nations refuse to give up on nuclear power, stating that these disasters are rare. The
debate of whether to use green or nuclear power will likely continue for some time. In the end, it is quite possible
that both energy sources will be used to fuel our planet.

The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights, radio, televisions, and telephones
that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a power failure, people grope
about in flickering candlelight. Cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to guide them, and
food spoils in silent refrigerators.
Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. Nature has
apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of years. Scientists are discovering more and more that
the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity.
All living cells sent out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, it sends out pulses of recorded electricity;
they form an electrocardiogram, which a doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working. The
brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram. The electric
currents generated by most living cells are extremely small-of-ten so small that sensitive instruments are needed
to record them. But in some animals, certain muscle cells have become so specialized as electrical generators
that they do not work as muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cells are linked together, the effects
can be astonishing.

The electric eel is an amazing storage battery. It can send a jolt of as much as eight hundred volts of electricity
through the water in which it lives. An electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts.) As many as
four fifths of all the cells in the electric eel’s body are specialized for generating electricity, and the strength of
the shock it can deliver corresponds roughly to the length of its body.

Throughout history, various people have demonstrated a high degree of confidence in the ability of certain
animals to predict the weather. It may seem surprising today in view of the complex equipment now involved
in weather forecasting to understand that in certain cases, the behavior of animals does indeed provide an
indication of inclement weather. Sensitivity of certain animals to falling air pressure or to low-frequency sound
waves that humans cannot hear, which are indicators of approaching storms, causes behaviors in animals that
certain societies have come to recognize as predictors of storms.
A number of animals are remarkably sensitive to variations in air pressure, and some of these animals show
consistent, noticeable, and predictable behaviors as air pressure drops before a storm hits. When the air pressure
drops before a storm, some animals move closer to the ground to equalize the pressure in their ears: some birds
such as swallows tend to stay on the ground or roost in trees instead of soaring in the skies when a storm is
imminent because of the decreasing air pressure. Other animals make more noise than usual as air pressure
drops: an unusual amount of quacking by ducks and a high volume of croaking by frogs are both indicators that
are believed to occur because of the high degree of sensitivity of ducks and frogs to the change in pressure.
Finally, still other animals become more active before storms as a reaction to the falling air pressure: dolphins
and porpoises seem to be taking part in a frenzied sort of play, and bees and ants become more active prior to
storms, most likely because of their sensitivity to lower pressure.
There is good reason to believe that the fact that these animal behaviors seem to occur regularly prior to
storms may have a scientific basis and that the animals demonstrating these behaviors may actually be good
short-range weather forecasters. However, their ability to predict long-range weather patterns is rather suspect.
Certain proverbs, for example, are based on what is most likely the idea that squirrels are good indicators of
long-range weather patterns. One proverb indicates that, if a squirrel seems busier than usual in gathering nuts,
then a long and cold winter is on its way; however, this behavior in squirrels is more likely due to a large supply
of nuts available for gathering, which occurs because of earlier good weather, and is not an indicator of cold
weather to come. Another proverb about squirrels indicates that if a squirrel grows a long and bushy tail in the
fall, then a particularly harsh winter is on its way; in this case too, the squirrel develops a long and bushy tail
because of earlier good weather and not as a warning of bad weather to come.

The term “virus” is derived from the Latin word for poison. or slime. It was originally applied to the noxious
stench emanating from swamps that was thought to cause a variety of diseases in the centuries before microbes
were discovered and specifically linked to illness. But it was not until almost the end of the nineteenth century
that a true virus was proven to be the cause of a disease.
The nature of viruses made them impossible to detect for many years even after bacteria had been
discovered and studied. Not only are viruses too small to be seen with a light microscope, they also cannot be
detected through their biological activity, except as it occurs in conjunction with other organisms. In fact,
viruses show no traces of biological activity by themselves. Unlike bacteria, they are not living agents in the
strictest sense Viruses are very simple pieces of organic material composed only of nucleic acid, either DNA
or RNA, enclosed in a coat of protein made up of simple structural units.(Some viruses also contain
carbohydrates and lipids.)
They are parasites, requiring human, animal, or plant cells to live. The virus replicates by attaching to a cell
and injecting its nucleic acid.' Once inside the cell, the DNA or RNA that contains the virus' genetic information
takes over the cell's biological machinery, and the cell begins to manufacture viral proteins rather than its own.

Three scales of temperature, each of which permits a precise measurement, are in current use: the Fahrenheit,
Celsius, and Kelvin scales. These three different temperature scales were each developed by different people
and have come to be used in different situations.
The scale that is most widely used by the general public in the United States is the Fahrenheit scale. In 1714,
Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a German physicist who was living in Holland and operating an instrument business,
developed a thermometer and the temperature scale that still carries his name. His original scale had two fixed
points: 0º was the lowest temperature and 96º was what he believed was the normal temperature of the human
body. Based on this scale, he calculated that the freezing point of water was 32º; in later studies, it was
determined that the boiling point of water was 212º. The Fahrenheit scale came to be accepted as the standard
measure of temperature in a number of countries. Today, however, the United States is the only major country
in the world that still uses the Fahrenheit scale.
The scale that is in use in many other countries is the Celsius scale. Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer,
developed a thermometer in 1741 that based temperatures on the freezing and boiling temperatures of water.
On the thermometer that Celsius developed, however, 0º was used to indicate the boiling temperature of water,
and 100º was used to indicate the freezing temperature of water. After his death, the scale was reversed by a
friend, the biologist Carl von Linne. On the new scale after the reversal by von Linne, 0º indicated the freezing
temperature of water, and 100º indicated the boiling temperature of water. At around the same time, a similar
thermometer was being developed in France. After the French Revolution, the scale developed in France was
adopted as part of the metric system in that country under the name centigrade, which means "a hundred units,"
and from there it spread worldwide. In 1948, an international agreement was made to rename the centigrade
scale the Celsius scale in honor of the scientist who was first known to use a 100-degree scale, though it should
be remembered that the scale that Celsius actually used himself was the reverse of today's scale.
A third scale, the Kelvin scale, is generally used today for scientific purposes. This scale was first suggested
in 1854 by two English physicists: William Thomson, Lord Kelvin and James Prescott Joule. The Kelvin scale
defines 0º as absolute zero, the temperature at which all atomic and molecular motion theoretically stops, and
100º separates the freezing point and boiling point of water, just as it does on the Celsius scale. On the Kelvin
scale, with 0º equal to absolute zero, water freezes at 273º, and water boils at a temperature 100º higher. The
Kelvin scale is well suited to some areas of scientific study because it does not have any negative values, yet it
still maintains the 100º difference between the freezing point and boiling point of water that the Celsius scale
has and can thus easily be converted to the Celsius scale by merely subtracting 273º from the temperature on
the Kelvin scale.

Read the following text and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 26 to 30.
Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural
environment surrounding their homes. This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the oldest known
subsistence strategy and has been practiced for at least the last two million years. It was, indeed, the only way
to obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of wild animals were introduced about 10,000
years ago.
Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with the agricultural cousins, their numbers have
dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and arctic wastelands.
In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant life. Such conditions
have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the coasts and waterways. The abundance
of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for
gathering a variety of plants. In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited
possibilities for the development of subsistence societies.
Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors. We know from the
observation of modem hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering
must be very mobile. While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food
within a reasonable distance from the camp, when the food in the area has become exhausted, the community
moves on to exploit another site. We also notice seasonal migration patterns evolving for most hunter-gatherers,
along with a strict division of labor between the sexes. These patterns of behavior may be similar to those
practiced by mankind during the Paleolithic Period.

Members of the royal family have led an outpouring of tributes from around the world at the death of Prince
Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth. Buckingham Palace has spoken of the Queen’s “deep sorrow” after her
husband of 73 years, who had been by her side throughout her reign, died peacefully at Windsor Castle aged
99 on Friday night (Australian time).
Flags at Buckingham Palace and government buildings across the United Kingdom were lowered to half-
mast, and within an hour of the announcement the public began to lay flowers outside Windsor Castle and
Buckingham Palace. However, mourners have been urged not to gather and leave tributes at royal residences,
and the public has been asked to stay away from funeral events because of the coronavirus pandemic. An online
book of condolence has been launched on the Royal Family’s official website for people to leave messages of
sympathy.
The prince died two months short of his 100th birthday. He had recently spent four weeks in hospital with an
infection where he was treated for a heart condition before being discharged and returned to Windsor early in
March. The Duke of Edinburgh had been by his wife’s side throughout her 69-year reign, the longest in British
history, and during that time earned a reputation for a tough, no-nonsense attitude, and a propensity for
occasional gaffes. A Greek prince, Philip married Elizabeth in 1947, and together they had four children, eight
grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren. He played a key role helping the monarchy adapt to a changing
world in the post-World War II period, and behind the walls of Buckingham Palace was the one key figure the
Queen could trust and turn to, knowing he could tell her exactly what he thought.
The death of the Duke comes in the midst of the worst public health crisis for generations as Britain and
countries around the globe reel from the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Philip will not have
a state funeral nor lie in state for the public to pay their respects ahead of the funeral, the College of Arms said,
with arrangements revised to meet coronavirus restrictions.

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps
in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown
that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the
diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. People of different cultures are more prone to contract certain
illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume.
That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates
and nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meat) as well as other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these
carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients
on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.
The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because
of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.
Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons.
The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices
continue.

Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these substances to food
without our knowledge.

Marine experts estimate about 40,000 humpback whales are now migrating through Australian waters
annually, up from about 1,500 half a century ago. The humpbacks’ annual journey from Antarctica to
subtropical waters along Australia’s east and west coasts is one of nature’s great migrations. It is a journey of
up to 10,000 kilometers and is undertaken between April and November. Scientists have estimated 40,000
humpback whales have been in Australian waters to mate and breed. It is a remarkable recovery from the height
of commercial whaling in the early 1960s when it was estimated there were fewer than 1,500 humpbacks. They
were slaughtered mainly for their oil and baleen, or “whalebone.”
Australia’s environment department says no other whale species has recovered as strongly as the humpback
since the end of commercial hunting, which ceased in Australia in 1978. Australia is now considering removing
humpback whales from the endangered species list because of their growing numbers. The acrobatic humpbacks
that can grow to 16 meters would still be protected in Australia. Conservationists, though, argue that they need
more, not fewer, environmental safeguards to monitor the impact of climate change on krill – their main source
of food. Krill are affected by the absorption of more carbon dioxide into the ocean.
Olaf Meynecke, a research fellow in Marine Science at Queensland’s Griffith University, says vigilance is
needed to ensure the whales continue to thrive. “Generally speaking, yes, it is a great success story that
humpback whales have come back. But obviously we also need to ask questions as to how will this continue in
the future, how are present threats already impacting the population, and how we are going to detect changes in
the future,” Meynecke said. Scientists say humpbacks face a combination of other threats including the
overharvesting of krill, pollution, habitat degradation, and entanglement in fishing nets. Calves also face attack
by killer whales or sharks.
The recovery of the humpback has helped the rapid growth of Australia’s whale-watching industry. As their
numbers have grown, much about the humpback, a species famous for its song, remains a mystery. Scientists
do not know exactly, for example, where on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef they mate and calve. Humpback
whales live in all the world’s oceans. They take their common name from a distinctive hump on the whale’s
back.

Martin Luther King, Jr., is well known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous speeches, among
them is his moving “I Have A Dream'' speech. But fewer people know much about King’s childhood. M.L., as
he was called, was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, at the home of his maternal grandfather. M.L.’s
grandfather, the Reverend
A.D. Williams, purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, twenty years before M.L. was born. The
Reverend Williams, an eloquent speaker, played an important role in the community since so many people’s
lives centered round the church. He allowed his church and his home 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 this 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 eventful. 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 the main artery through a prosperous neighborhood that had come
to symbolize achievement for Atlanta’s black people. It was an area of banks, insurance companies, builders,

For hundreds of years, giving flowers has been a social means of communication. In the United States,
flowers are often given during rites of passage, for commemorating special occasions or as a heartfelt gift
between loved ones and friends. Flower gifting also occurs in most countries around the world. However, the
meanings and traditions often vary.
While students traditionally gave their favorite teacher an apple in past years, in China, teachers are given
flowers. Peonies are by far the flower most often given in China. They are also quite popularly used for
weddings. Strangely, potted plants are not considered a pleasant gift among Asian cultures. The people believe
that like a plant confined by a pot, the gift symbolizes a binding or restriction.
In Russia, in lieu of giving birthday presents, the guest of honor receives a single flower or an unwrapped
bouquet. Floral arrangements or baskets are not given. Russians celebrate a holiday known as Woman’s Day.
Traditional gifts include red roses, hyacinths or tulips. When there is a funeral or other occasion where someone
wishes to express sympathy, carnations, lilies or roses are given in circular configurations, which signify the
transition of birth, life and death to rebirth. In this instance, the color of choice is commonly yellow. For joyous
occasions, arrangements and bouquets generally contain an odd number of flowers.
In the times of ancient Rome, brides carried flowers to scare away evil spirits and encourage fertility. The
Dutch believed that flowers were food for the soul. When invited to someone’s home in Great Britain, it is
tradition to bring a gift of flowers. All types are acceptable except white lilies, which are usually seen at funerals.
Not unlike the United States, red roses are a symbol of love. Flowers are generally gifted in odd numbered
increments regardless of the occasion. However, the Brits also have superstitions regarding the number 13, so
the number is avoided.
In the southern region of the continent, flowers are traditionally given during Christmas. Egyptians are much
more conservative and restrict flower gifting to funerals and weddings. While certain flowers may have
significant meanings for some, flowers in Las Vegas and across the United States are an accepted gift for any
reason desired.

Living things like plants, animals, and people need energy to survive and grow. People eat food for energy,
but most plants use energy that they get from sunlight. When you look at plants such as a tree, flower, or grass,

Page 37 of 50
what do you see? You might notice their stems, trunks, branches, leaves, roots, or flowers, but how do they
grow? What are they made from? How did the plant make those parts?
Different environments could be oceans, forests, deserts, or cities. Each environment also has its own
climate, which is partially based on how much sun and rain an area receives every year.
Since only certain plants grow in hot, cool, wet, or dry climates, each environment is made up of different
types of plant life. A desert may grow palm trees and cacti, while a forest may grow tall pines or oak trees. In
order for a plant to grow, it needs three very important puzzle pieces: water, carbon dioxide, and light. Plants
use their roots to take in water from the ground. They use their leaves to take in sunlight and carbon dioxide
from the air.
Plants use these three puzzle pieces to make their own food in a process called photosynthesis. Using the
energy from the sun, plants convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar. This sugar feeds the plant’s growth
from a seedling into an adult. In the process, the plant releases oxygen into the air. Another important piece to
the growth of many plants is soil. Using their roots, plants take in nutrients from the soil that helps them grow.
Giving a plant a spot in clean soil is important to make sure it doesn’t absorb anything harmful from the dirt.
Plants make their food from carbon dioxide, water and light. They use this food to grow stems, trunks, roots,
branches, leaves, and flowers. Now when you look at a tree, flower, or even a blade of grass, you can see all
the pieces of the plant and how the entire puzzle fits together.

If you go back far enough, everything lived in the sea. At various points in evolutionary history, enterprising
individuals within many different animal groups moved out onto the land, sometimes even to the most parched
deserts, taking their own private seawater with them in blood and cellular fluids. In addition to the reptiles,
birds, mammals and insects which we see all around us, other groups that have succeeded out of water include
scorpions, snails, crustaceans such as woodlice and land crabs, millipedes and centipedes, spiders and various
worms. And we mustn’t forget the plants, without whose prior invasion of the land, none of the other migrations
could have happened.
Moving from water to land involved a major redesign of every aspect of life, including breathing and
reproduction. Nevertheless, a good number of thoroughgoing land animals later turned around, abandoned their
hard-earned terrestrial re-tooling, and returned to the water again. Seals have only gone part way back. They
show us what the intermediates might have been like, on the way to extreme cases such as whales and dugongs.
Whales (including the small whales we call dolphins) and dugongs, with their close cousins, the manatees,
ceased to be land creatures altogether and reverted to the full marine habits of their remote ancestors. They
don’t even come ashore to breed. They do, however, still breathe air, having never developed anything
equivalent to the gills of their earlier marine incarnation. Turtles went back to the sea a very long time ago
and, like all vertebrate returnees to the water, they breathe air. However, they are, in one respect, less fully
given back to the water than whales or dugongs, for turtles still lay their eggs on beaches.
There is evidence that all modern turtles are descended from a terrestrial ancestor which lived before most
of the dinosaurs. There are two key fossils called Proganochelys quenstedti and Palaeochersis talampayensis
dating from early dinosaur times, which appear to be close to the ancestry of all modern turtles and tortoises.
You might wonder how we can tell whether fossil animals lived in land or in water, especially if only fragments
are found. Sometimes it’s obvious. Ichthyosaurs were reptilian contemporaries of the dinosaurs, with fins and

Page 38 of 50
streamlined bodies. The fossils look like dolphins and they surely lived like dolphins, in the water. With turtles
it is a little less obvious. One way to tell is by measuring the bones of their forelimbs.

Although many students are sick and tired of putting on their school uniform day after day, a uniform does
have its advantages. For a start, students have no need to worry about what to put on when they get up in the
morning. Students know that in uniform they look more or less the same as their classmates. As a result, their
parents don't feel under pressure to provide a huge wardrobe of clothes for them to wear. (26) ______, it seems
that children wearing the same colours and styles of clothing gain a sense of belonging, something (27) ______
improves morale at school and reduces levels of violence.
This theory has been supported by a study at a school in Long Beach, California. Staff members there have
noticed that since school uniform became compulsory, the number of arguments amongst pupils has dropped
by as much as 91%. This suggests that students who are all dressed in the same simple school shirts and trousers
are less likely to disagree with one (28)______. On the other hand, Cozette Buckley, an Education Officer from
Chicago, holds a rather different view, based on experience in her schools. In her opinion, school uniforms are
not a permanent solution but only a (29) ______ aid to playground problems because they do not address the
real source of conflict between children. It seems, therefore, (30) ______ by these conflicting findings, that the
school uniform debate isn't closed yet!

Currently, the biggest threat to Australia sea lion colonies are gillnets, which are invisible, thin mesh nets
suspended in the water. Gillnets are used by commercial fisheries to capture sharks. However, Australian sea
lions also get snagged in the mesh of gillnets and drown. The only solution to accidental gillnet deaths and other
fishery-related deaths of sea lions is to close the areas where sea lions forage for food out at sea and prevent
fishing with gillnets in those areas.
Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) worked with the government, scientists and the fishing
industry to come up with a solution to ensure sea lion colonies were protected, only brought about by the support
of the Australian public.
The distribution of Australia sea lion colonies in South Australia overlaps with a fishery managed by the
Federal Government agency, the Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA). Due to the proximity
between the fishery and sea lion colonies, fishing was killing a high number of sea lions.
The areas of sea directly around sea lion breeding colonies are closed to gillnet fishing, and now, every
fishing boat that fishes anywhere near sea lion colonies has to have cameras on board to monitor what is being
Page 42 of 50
caught. This means that if a sea lion gets killed, it now gets reported to AFMA. And when a sea lion does get
killed, further areas are closed to all gillnet fishing to ensure sea lion colonies do not decline even further.
This means that through the activity of AMCS, our wonderful supporters and other environmental
organisations, potentially hundreds of vulnerable Australian sea lions have been protected from drowning in
this fishery.

The recession has brought about an abrupt change of mood on university campuses up and down the country.
A five-year boom in the graduate job market has been stopped in its tracks and salary expectations. No wonder
only one in five of 16,000 final year students questioned for a survey by High Flyers Research said that they
expected to get a job for which they are qualified by the time they graduate.
Despite the gloom, the financial case for going to university remains compelling. International surveys
continue to show the salary premium enjoyed by UK graduates over those who choose not to go to university
as among the highest in the world. In the post-recession world, a university degree is likely to be even more of
an advantage to job-seekers than before.
But choosing the right degree course and the right university will also be more important than ever. This
does not necessarily mean that students should go only for job-related degrees, but it will put a premium on
marketable skills. And it may mean that more universities can be expected to follow the lead of Liverpool John
Moores University, which puts all of its undergraduates through a World of Work (WoW) course designed to
give them the problem-solving and communication skills they’ll need at work.
The Times Good University Guide 2010, published by HarperCollins, offers a wealth of essential
information to help candidates to navigate the maze of university choice, as well as advice on students’ life. It
is the most authoritative guide to universities in the UK and is an essential and comprehensive tool for students
and parents.
The online version of the Guide allows students and parents to create their own individual university
rankings and to compare the strengths and weaknesses of different institutions by sorting universities according
to one of the eight criteria - from student satisfaction to research quality and degree results. The table sees
Oxford maintain its leadership, despite coming below Cambridge in most of the subject tables. Cambridge has
the better record on student satisfaction, research, entry standards, completion and graduate destinations, but
Oxford’s lead in staffing levels, degree classifications and particularly in spending on libraries and other student
facilities makes the difference.
(Adapted from “Reading for IELTS” by Els Van Geyte)
Question 36. What does the passage mainly discuss?

While experts can estimate what the economic fallout from a pandemic such as the coronavirus will be, the
precise impact will vary based on how many people are affected, how severely it hits, and which societal
interventions are necessary to contain its spread.
Financial projections for COVID-19 run the gamut. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development, an entity with 36 member countries, estimated earlier this month that a long-lasting and severe
coronavirus pandemic that spreads throughout Asia, Europe and North America could cut the global growth
rate to 1.5% in 2020. That is roughly half the growth the world economy would otherwise achieve.
A separate analysis by the consulting firm McKinsey & Company offers a similar outlook. Its research
suggests that a more severe COVID-19 pandemic, in which city and suburban residents would have to
significantly change their work habits and otherwise distance themselves socially for six to eight weeks, could
cut global GDP in half, to between 1% and 1.5%.
Increasingly, those projections look too rosy for the situation that is now unfolding. Already, roughly 1 in 3
Americans are being ordered to stay indoors, creating a huge drag on consumer demand and worker
productivity. Goldman Sachs estimates that as many as 2.25 million Americans will make their initial filing for
unemployment benefits this week, a roughly eight-fold increase from last week.

The chief U.S. economist for Oxford Economics, Greg Daco, told the New York Times last week that a
recession is all but inevitable. He estimates that GDP will sink 0.4% in the first quarter before plunging 12% in
the second quarter. Goldman Sachs offered an even more dire estimate, suggesting a second-quarter decline of
24%.

We all know about the pleasure and fun that you can get from playing video games. There’s the satisfaction
of finally reaching the last level of a game after months of trying, or the thrill of beating your best friend in a
game for the first time. But some experts now say that as well as offering fantastic entertainment, video games
might also be good for you.
It seems that when you play video games, you might be acquiring some very important skills. For a start,
games are great for your concentration. Being able to focus on a task for an extended period of time is definitely
a skill you can use at school or later, in a job. Because you have to think incredibly quickly, video games can
also stimulate your brain and improve the speed at which you react. Fitness games, which are very popular,
allow you to practise sports techniques like balancing or hitting balls from the comfort of your living room. A
lot of games also teach decision-making skills. For example, when you have to choose the best way to escape
from a burning building in a game, you’re learning how to solve problems and use your judgment quickly, and
under pressure - skills that will be very useful later in life. Gaming teaches you about success and failure too.
The fact that a lot of games are difficult, and you have to work hard to reach that top level, teaches you that in
life you can succeed if you keep on trying. On the other hand, games teach you that if you fail, you don’t give
up – you have a break, and then try again!
Some psychologists believe that role-playing games are particularly valuable. In the virtual environment,
young people can take on roles that are often not available to them in real life. You can become a leader, and
have to deal with people who lie to you, hide things from you or want to destroy you. By dealing with these
situations, you can develop social skills that might help you in the real world when you’re older.
Gaming does have its downsides, of course. Playing for a while is great, but people who play for hours on
end can have problems. Physically, it can stop you from getting enough exercise, which is unhealthy.
Psychologically, there is evidence that some players can become addicted to their games and begin to prefer
their ‘virtual’ lives, where they are always in control. It is sometimes claimed that very violent games can have
a negative effect on players and lead to violence in real life. Although there isn’t much evidence to support this,
it is an argument that will go on and on.
But overall, the message is that playing video games is not harmful, unless you spend too much time on
them. And while you’re building your city, looking after your farm, defeating your enemies or making your
fortune in a game, you’re also developing skills that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
(Adapted from “Prepare 6” by James Styring and Nicholas Tims)
