the passage below. cell ----.

A) releases something outside of the body

Hormones are the chemical messengers of the
endocrine system. Hormones are the signals which
adjust the body's internal working, together with the
nervous system. Every multicellular organism has
hormones. The cells which react to a given hormone
have special receptors for that hormone. When a
hormone attaches to the receptor protein a
mechanism for signalling is started. The cell or
tissue that gets the message is called the 'target'.
Hormones only act on cells which have the right
receptors. Many different kinds of cells can send a
message. There are some kinds of cells whose
main job is to make hormones. When many of these
cells are together in one place, it is called a gland.
Glands are groups of cells that make something and
release it (put it outside the cell). Many glands make
hormones. "Endocrine" means secreting directly into
the blood. Most internal secretions are endocrine,
from endocrine glands. The opposite word is
"exocrine", which means secreting through a duct or
tube. Some hormones are produced by exocrine
glands, and some exocrine secretions go outside
the body. Sweat glands and salivary glands are
examples of exocrine glands whose products are
released outside the body.

Eating disorders are diseases in which people have
unhealthy relationships with food caused by poor

mechanisms for other personal or psychological
problems. There are many eating disorder, but the
two common, serious and closely related disorders

most sufferers from eating disorders are women,
men are affected too. About one in every 30 women

disorders in her lifetime. Almost 90% of women

who lose weight regain the lost weight within 5
years. Almost 10% of reported eating disorder
cases involve males. However, because it is less

the passage below. Ages were named so because ----.

A) the period of the Middle Age was shorter

Throughout the history of mankind, human
technology and culture has experienced many
advancements and setbacks. As a civilization rises,
new technologies are developed, as well as new
types of music, art and literature. Then, years,
decades, or even centuries later, as that same
civilization begins to decline, many of these
technologies and arts are lost. During the Middle
Ages, much of the great advancements made by the
Greeks and the Romans had been forgotten due to
the decline of living conditions in Western Europe.
People went from living comfortable lives with good
jobs and educations, to living in very poor
conditions, where there was constant turmoil, war,
poverty and hunger. This time period is known as
the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages lasted for hundreds
of years, as many generations of individuals lived
and died in these terrible conditions. Then, in the
mid-1300s AD, things slowly began to improve.
People began again to discover the arts and
technologies of the Romans and Greeks, making life
a little easier. We call this period of time the
Renaissance. The Renaissance began around 1350
AD in Italy, and continued until about 1600 AD.

55 – 58: Answer these questions according to
the passage below.
There are both natural and human sources of
carbon dioxide emissions. Natural sources include
decomposition, ocean release and respiration.
Human sources come from activities like cement
production, deforestation as well as the burning of
fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. Due to
human activities, the atmospheric concentration of
carbon dioxide has been rising extensively since the
Industrial Revolution and has now reached
dangerous levels not seen in the last 3 million years.
Human sources of carbon dioxide emissions are
much smaller than natural emissions but they have
upset the natural balance that existed for many
thousands of years before the influence of humans.
This is because natural sinks remove around the
same quantity of carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere than are produced by natural sources.
This had kept carbon dioxide levels balanced and in
a safe range. But human sources of emissions have
upset the natural balance by adding extra carbon
dioxide to the atmosphere without removing any.

A) are at risk that causes dangerous and
possibly dramatic changes in their lives
B) might wreak havoc on the environment as
long as human activities are economically

dangerous levels

removal

concerned with production than
sustainability

C) nearly all human activities are, in one way
or another, environmentally unsustainable
D) there are a greater number of natural

73. Total solar eclipses take place somewhere
on the planet about every 18 months or so,
but the average frequency of the event for
any random point on the planet is roughly
once in almost 400 years. Across the planet,
however, solar eclipses are actually more
frequent than lunar ones. ---- Lunar eclipses,
by contrast, happen about once per year at
any given location on the planet.
Nevertheless, since solar eclipses can be
seen from only a very limited region of Earth
at a time and lunar eclipses can be seen by
an entire hemisphere, solar eclipses may
seem less frequent.
A) There are no annular lunar eclipses
because Earth is much bigger than the
Moon.
B) If the eclipse is a total lunar eclipse, the
Moon will pass through the shadow
created by Earth.
C) For example, total and annular eclipses
occur every five or six months.
D) A lunar eclipse always happens around
two weeks before or after a solar eclipse.
E) Total solar eclipses have not always been
visible from Earth.

72. ---- The negative effects of global warming

on humans may be most significant on food
supplies and security. Wheat, rice, and
maize production in tropical and temperate
regions are anticipated to vary widely in
yields, with severe yield impacts
significantly increasing after 2050,
depending on global temperatures. An
increase of 4°C or more above late-20th-
century levels, combined with increasing
food demand, risks negatively impacting all
aspects of food security, including access,
utilization, and price stability.

A) As global warming progresses, there will

be significant changes in aggregate sea
level.
B) Major crop production is negatively
impacted as temperatures are rising.
C) Wild fires place vulnerable human lives
and systems in dangerous jeopardy.
D) As temperatures rise, the world ecology
become unbalanced.
E) Most of the negative impacts from
agriculture on the environment can be
reduced or prevented by policies.

74. Premature infants, known as preemies,
come into the world earlier than full-term
babies. Prematurity occurs when a
pregnancy lasts less than 37 weeks; full-
term infants are born 37 to 42 weeks after
the mother's last menstrual period. ----
Sometimes it's caused by the mother's
health conditions during pregnancy, such
as gestational diabetes, hypertension, heart
or kidney problems, an infection or bleeding
due to abnormal positioning of the placenta.
A) Other times preterm birth can be caused
by a mother's lifestyle choices such as
poor nutrition.
B) For this reason, preterm deliveries are
more common in women younger than 19
or older than 40.
C) Preemies have many special needs that
make their care different from that of full-
term infants.
D) Most preemies do well as they get older
and catch up to their full-term peers in
time.
E) Often, the cause of preterm delivery is
unknown and not within a mother's
control.

cause of ocean acidification. Reducing our
carbon emissions is the best strategy for
addressing ocean acidification at its root.
Reducing surface run-offs, pollution, and
the industrial waste released into water
bodies will also help in tackling the impact
of water acidity. Scientific research on
ocean acidification and ways of mitigating it
are still underway. Support for these studies
will contribute significantly to solving. ----
A) In addition, it will probably control this evil
twin of climate change.
B) Nevertheless, lower sea water pH can
weaken a number of organisms’ metabolic
processes.
C) Deforestation, on the other hand, has two
contributing factors.
D) All of these human activities contribute to
higher concentrations of CO2 in the

E) However, fossil fuel emissions are gasses
released from cars, airplanes, factories
and power plants burning fuels such as
