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 28-34.
Passage 1
Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly cherished goal.
Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group organization and
attitudes.
In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuses. The group contains nearly all of
each individual’s life. The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each member. There is an interlocking
identity of individual, group, and task performed. Means and goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued.
While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary cooperation is
characteristic of many modern societies. In secondary cooperation, individual devote only part of their lives to
the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the
group is not the first consideration. Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their
cooperation or accommodation in the form of salary, prestige, or power. Business offices and professional
athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation
In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the share work. The
attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic; the organization is loose and fragile.
Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals; it breaks down when the common
means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and hence
the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship.
28. What is the author’s main purpose in the first paragraph of the passage?
A. To explain how cooperation differs from competition and conflict.
B. To show the importance of group organization and attitudes
C. To offer a grief definition of cooperation

Passage 2
The biological community changes as one moves from the city to the suburbs. Around all cities is a biome
called the “suburban forest”. The trees of this forest are species that are favoured by man, and most of them
have been deliberately planted. Mammals such as rabbits, skunks, and opossums have moved in from the
surrounding countryside. Raccoons have become experts at opening garbage cans, and in some places even deer
wander suburban thoroughfares. Several species of squirrel get along nicely in suburbia, but usually only one
species is predominant in any given suburb – fox squirrels in one place, red squirrels in another, gray squirrels
in a third – for reasons that are little understood. The diversity of birds in the suburbs is great, and in the South,
lizards thrive in gardens and even houses. Of course, insects are always present.
There is an odd biological sameness in these suburban communities. True, the palms of Los Angeles are
missing from the suburbs of Boston, and there are species or insects in Miami not found in Seattle. But over
wide stretches of the United States, ecological conditions in suburban biomes vary much less than do those of
natural biomes. And unlike the natural biomes, the urban and suburban communities exist in spite of, not
because of, the climate.
