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.
Are there any mountains near your home? Aren’t they enormous? Have you ever wondered what made these big
mountains? Mountains are formed as a result of the earth’s activities, and all mountains take millions of years to be
made.
Mountains are usually formed when the earth’s plates crash together. These mountains are called “fold mountains.”
The plates crash together with so much energy that they are forced up. This is the way the Himalayas, the world’s
highest mountain range, began to form 25 million years ago. In fact, these mountains are still growing, as the plates
continue to push against each other.
Mountains can also be formed along fault lines. We call these mountains “block mountains.” Fault lines are cracks
in the earth’s crust. These cracks force blocks of rock upward or downward; the uplifted blocks become block
mountains. The Harz Mountains in Germany were formed in this way.
Magma under the earth’s surface can form mountains as well. Magma is molten rock. It’s liquid, so it flows
through cracks. When the magma finds its way to the surface, it erupts explosively as lava, rock, ash and volcanic
gas. As the lava cools and hardens, a “volcanic mountain” is created. One example of this kind of mountain is Mt.
Halla on Jeju-do, a Korean island.
No matter how they were formed, mountains are natural wonders for us to enjoy. They provide beautiful scenery
and can be hiked for fun. The next time you see a mountain, try to figure out how it was formed.
Question 31:What is this passage mainly about?
A. high mountains around the world
B. how volcanic eruptions affect the earth’s plates
C. why the world’s highest mountain is changing its shape
D. the different ways that mountains are formed
Question 32:What is a fold mountain?
A. a mountain found in the middle of an island C. a mountain that is surrounded by volcanoes
B. a mountain formed by moving plates D. a mountain that is sinking downward

A. mountain B. liquid C. magma D.rock
Question 34:What can be inferred about Mt. Halla?
A. It has a very large hole at the top. C. It is younger than other mountains.
B. It is located on a fault line. D. It has cracks in its surface.
Question 35:Which of the following is closest in meaning to “enormous”?

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 41.
Mickey Mouse was not Walt Disney’s first successful cartoon creation, but he is certainly his famous one.
It was on a cross-country train trip from New York to California in 1927 that Disney first drew the mouse with the
big ears. Supposedly, he took his inspiration from the tame field mice that used to scamper into his old studio in
Kansas City. No one is quite sure why he dressed the mouse in the now-familiar shorts with two buttons and gave
him the yellow shoes. But we do know that Disney had intended to call him Mortimer until his wife Lillian
intervened and christened him Mickey Mouse.
Capitalizing on the interest in Charles Lindsborg, Disney planned Mickey’s debut in the short cartoon Plane
Crazy, with Minnie as a co-star. In the third short cartoon, Steamboat Willie, Mickey was whistling and singing
through the miracle of the modern soundtrack. By the 1930s, Mickey’s image had circled the globe. He was a
superstar at the height of his career.
Although he has received a few minor changes throughout his lifetime, most notably the addition of white
gloves and the alterations to achieve the rounder forms of a more childish body, he has remained true to his nature
since those first cartoons. Mickey is appealing because he is nice. He may get into trouble, but he takes it on the
chin with a grin. He is both good-natured and resourceful. Perhaps that was Disney’s own image of himself. Why
else would he have insisted on doing Mickey’s voice in all the cartoons for twenty years? When interviewed, he
would say: “There is a lot of mouse in me.” And that mouse has remained one of the most pervasive images in
American popular culture.
