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 to 34.
There are two basic types of glaciers, those that flow outward in all directions with little regard for any
underlying terrain and those that are confined by terrain to a particular path.
The first category of glaciers includes those massive blankets that cover whole continents, appropriately
called ice sheets. There must be over 50,000 square kilometers of land covered with ice for the glacier to
qualify as an ice sheet. When portions of an ice sheet spread out over the ocean, they form ice shelves.
About 20,000 years ago the Cordilleran Ice Sheet covered nearly all the mountains in southern Alaska,
western Canada, and the western United States. It was about 3 kilometers deep at its thickest point in
northern Alberta. Now there are only two sheets left on Earth, those covering Greenland and Antarctica.
Any domelike body of ice that also flows out in all directions but covers less than 50,000 square
kilometers is called an ice cap. Although ice caps are rare nowadays, there are a number in northeastern
Canada, on Baffin Island, and on the Queen Elizabeth Islands.
The second category of glaciers includes those of a variety of shapes and sizes generally called
mountain or alpine glaciers. Mountain glaciers are typically identified by the landform that controls their
flow. One form of mountain glacier that resembles an ice cap in that it flows outward in several directions
is called an ice field. The difference between an ice field and an ice cap is subtle. Essentially, the flow of
an ice field is somewhat controlled by surrounding terrain and thus does not have the domelike shape of a
cap. There are several ice fields in the Wrangell, St. Elias, and Chugach mountains of Alaska and
northern British Columbia.
Less spectacular than large ice fields are the most common types of mountain glaciers : the cirque and
valley glaciers. Cirque glaciers are found in depressions in the surface of the land and have a
characteristic circular shape. The ice of valley glaciers, bound by terrain, flows down valleys, curves
around their comers, and falls over cliffs.
Question 28: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Where major glaciers are located
B. How glaciers shape the land
C. How glaciers are formed
D. The different kinds of glaciers
Question 29: It can be inferred that ice sheets are so named for which of the following reasons?
A. They are confined to mountain valleys.
B. They cover large areas of land.
C. They are thicker in some areas than in others.

 D. They have a characteristic circular shape.
Question 30: According to the passage, where was the Cordilleran Ice Sheet thickest?
A. Alaska B. Greenland C. Alberta D. Antarctica
Question 31: The word “rare” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
A. small B. unusual C. valuable D. widespread
Question 32: According to the passage (paragraph 5), ice fields resemble ice caps in which of the
following ways?
A. Their shap B. Their flow C. Their textur D. Their locat
Question 33: All of the following are alpine glaciers EXCEPT
A. cirque glaciers B. ice caps C. valley glaciers D. ice fields
Question 34: The word “depressions” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. intrusion B. dejection C. concaves D. convexes

correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Moving Your Mind for Maximum Fitness
When people design a new workout programme, they often target their chest, stomach, and leg muscles,
hoping to sculpt the perfect physique. However, they often neglect the most important part of the body:
the brain. Our brains grow stronger when we exercise them and weaker when neglected. To assist in
keeping our minds sharp, several websites and apps offer brain games to help us get our mental workouts
accomplished in a very short time.
As we age, our vocabulary continues to expand and we become better at creative plans. However, by
the time we enter our 20s, our prefrontal cortex starts to shrink. Although part of the reason for our
decline is physical, there is evidence that targeted exercises can halt or even reserve cognitive damage.
Throughout our lives we maintain the ability to create new neurons whenever we learn something new,
like a foreign language or a new sport. By repeating these activities we create new pathways and
connections between neurons that keep our minds functioning at an optimal level. This is what brain
fitness exercises aim to accomplish.
These digital exercises are broken into different categories. The first is memory exercises. These
programmes display information to users and then quiz us to see how much we can recall. The second
type is attention exercises. These games get users to focus on multiple tasks at once, dividing their
attention. Although trying to concentrate on several things at once during work is not recommended,
doing it in a game environment can help to strengthen our focus in the long term. Speed exercises, on the
other hand, are designed to keep our minds agile. In addition to these major categories, there are other
games that focus on specific situations like remembering names and faces, or calculating directions.
Although many users rave about positive effects of these games, there are other hacks we can use to
strengthen our brains. One is napping. Studies have shown that people who nap in the afternoon fared
much better at mental tasks than those who didn’t. A little caffeine can also make your mind sharper, as
long as you don’t overdo it. Finally, getting some physical exercise also tends to improve the clarity of
our thinking. In other words, maybe the Roman poet Juvenal was on to something when he wrote “A
sound mind in a healthy body”.

A. there are several web sites and apps to help us get our mental workout

C. our brains become stronger when we are more mentally active
D. connections and pathways between neurons play an important role in the functions of our brains
Question 38. What could replace the word “optimal” in paragraph 2?
A. excellent B. unacceptable C. debatable D. decent
