READING COMPREHENSION
Text 1
Ragwort was accidentally introduced to New Zealand in the late nineteenth century and, like so
many invading foreign species, quickly became a pest. By the 1920s, the weed was rampant.
What made matters worse was that its proliferation
coincided with sweeping changes in agriculture and a
massive shift from sheep farming to dairying. Ragwort
contains a battery of toxic and resilient alkaloids: even
honey made from its flowers contains the poison in dilute
form. Livestock generally avoid grazing where ragwort is
growing, but they will do so once it displaces grass and
clover in their pasture. Though sheep can eat it for months
before showing any signs of illness, if cattle eat it they sicken
quickly, and fatality can even result.

INGLÉS II
1. According to the text. The proliferation of ragwort was particularly ill-timed because it …
A. coincided with and exacerbated a decline in agriculture
B. took place in conditions that enabled the ragwort to spread faster.
C. led to an increase in the amount of toxic compounds contained in the plants
D. prevented people from producing honey that could be eaten safely.
E. had consequences for livestock that were more dramatic than they otherwise would have been.
2.The passage implies which of the following about the problems ragwort poses to dairy
farmers?
A. Milk produced by cows that eat ragwort causes illness in humans who drink it.
B. Ragwort can supplant the plants normally eaten by cattle.
C. Cattle, unlike sheep, are unable to differentiate between ragwort and healthy grazing.
D. The massive shift from sheep farming to dairying.
Text 2
In humans, the pilomotor reflex leads to the response

commonly known as goose bumps, and this response is
widely considered to be vestigial—that is, something
formerly having a greater physiological advantage than at
present. It occurs when the tiny muscle at the base of a
hair follicle contracts, pulling the hair upright. In animals
with feathers, fur, or quills, this creates a layer of
insulating warm air or a reason for predators to think twice
before attacking. But human hair is too puny to serve
these functions. Goose bumps in humans may, however, have acquired a new role. Like flushing—
another thermoregulatory (heat-regulating) mechanism—goose bumps have become linked with
emotional responses, notably fear, rage, or the pleasure of, say, listening to beautiful music. They
may thus serve as a signal to others.
3. In explaining the “new role” that goose bumps in humans may have acquired, the author
assumes which of the following?
A. Emotional responses in humans can be triggered by thermoregulatory mechanisms.
B. The perceptibility of emotional responses to other humans offers some kind of benefit.
C. If human hair were more substantial, goose bumps would not have acquired a new role.
D. Goose bumps in animals with feathers, fur, or quills may also be linked to emotional responses.
E. In humans, goose bumps represent an older physiological response than flushing.

Just a quick email to say that sounds like a great idea. Saturday is better for me because I'm
meeting my parents on Sunday. So if that's still good for you, why don't you come here? Then
you can see the new flat and all the work we've done on the kitchen since we moved in. We
can eat at home and then go for a walk in the afternoon. It's going to be so good to catch up
finally. I want to hear all about your new job!
Our address is 52 Charles Road, but it's a bit difficult to find because the house numbers are
really strange here. If you turn left at the post office and keep going past the big white house
on Charles Road, there's a small side street behind it with the houses 50–56 in. Don't ask me
why the side street doesn't have a different name! But call me if you get lost and I'll come and
