57. Butterflies are a type of insect with large and often colorful wings. They start out as
eggs. They lay their eggs on leaves. The eggs hatch into caterpillars with tabular body.
The caterpillar eats leaves, beds, or flowers of plants.

When a caterpillar is full sized, it goes into another stage called chrysalis. Caterpillars
attach themselves to something solid before becoming a chrysalis. The caterpillar
inside the chrysalis changes into a butterfly. Some butterflies make the change in one
week. Some others take years to change.

When the change is complete, the adult butterfly splits the chrysalis. The insect
unfolds its wings and pumps blood and air into then. It spreads out the wings until
they become dry and harder. The beautiful butterfly then flies to get nectar from
flowers. Most butterflies live only for one or two weeks.

60. Charles Babbage was born on 26 December 1791, probably in London, the son of a banker.
He was often unwell as a child and was educated mainly at home. By the time he went to
Cambridge University in 1810 he was very interested in mathematics.
After graduation Babbage was hired by the Royal Institution to lecture on calculus. Within
two years he had been elected a member of the Royal Society and, with his Cambridge
friends, was instrumental in setting up the Astronomical Society in 1820, the first to
challenge the dominance of the Royal Society. From 1828 to 1839, Babbage was Lucasian
Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge.
The 1820s saw Babbage work on his 'Difference Engine', a machine which could perform
mathematical calculations. A six-wheeled model was initially constructed and demonstrated
to a number of audiences. He then developed plans for a bigger, better, machine -
Difference Engine 2. He also worked on another invention, the more complex Analytical
Engine, a revolutionary device on which his fame as a computer pioneer now largely rests. It
was intended to be able to perform any arithmetical calculation using punched cards that
would deliver the instructions, as well as a memory unit to store numbers and many other
fundamental components of today's computers. The remarkable British mathematician Ada
Lovelace completed a program for the Analytical Engine but neither it, nor Difference Engine
2, were finished in Babbage's lifetime.
Babbage also worked in the fields of philosophy and code-breaking, as well as campaigning
for reform in British science. He died at his home in London on 18 October 1871.

61. The sugar glider is a marsupial, just like the many other Australian animals – the kangaroo,
the koala and the wombat for instance. The sugar glider is a possum – very similar to the
tupai in Indonesia. It basically lives in trees. It eats leaves and fruit. However, the Australian
sugar glider has a very special skill. It can jump from tree to tree like a tupai but it can also
`sort of fly’ as well. In fact, it glides or terbang layang in Bahasa Indonesia. When it jumps
from one tree to another it spreads its four legs out wide; and its extra skin also spreads out
and functions like a parachute.

as this bear is called, will always keep away from people. But, be careful if it is wounded with
a gun or the mother bear and her cubs are shocked. Some hunters claim the brown bear
can outfight a tiger.
A grown brownie may be up to nine feet tall. It may weigh over 1,600 pounds. But home
when the brown bear is born, it weighs less than one pound. If you grew at the same rate,
you would weigh almost 10,000 pounds when you were fully grown!

64. A cactus (plural: cacti) is any member of the plant family Cactaceae, native to the
Americas. They are often used as ornamental plants, but some are also crop plants.
Cacti are grown for protection of property from wild animals, as well as malty other
uses.

Cacti are unusual and distinctive plants, which are adapted to extremely hot
environments, showing a wide range of anatomical and physiological features which
conserve water.

Cacti come in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Many cactus species are night
blooming, as they are pollinated by nocturnal insects or small animals, principally
moths and bats. Cacti range in size from small and globular to tall and columnar.

The underlined word in "Many cactus species are night blooming, as ..." is closest in
meaning to ....

Jellyfish are not really fish. They are invertebrate animals. This means that unlike fish
or people, they have no backbones. In fact, they have no bones at all.

Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths, but no heads. They have nervous systems for
sensing the world around them, but no brains. They are made almost entirely of
water, which is why you can look through them.

Some jellyfish can glow in darkness by making their own light. The light is made by a
chemical reaction inside the jellyfish. Scientists believe jellyfish glow for several
reasons. For example, they may glow to scare away predators or to attract animals
they like to eat.

Most jellyfish live in salt water, apart from a few types that live in fresh water.
Jellyfish are found in oceans and seas all over the world. They live in warm, tropical
seas and in icy waters near the North and South poles.

What is the suitable title for the text above?

A Jellyfish B Fish in Salt Water

C The Jellyfish activity D The Jellyfish Life

66. A diamond is a re-arrangement of carbon atoms (those are called allotropes).
Diamonds have the highest hardness of any bulk (all one type) material. Because of this,
many important industries use diamonds as tools for cutting and polishing things. Many of
them are clear, but some of them have colors, like yellow, red, blue, green and pink.
Diamonds of a different color are called "fancies".
Big diamonds are very rare, and are worth a lot of money. Only 20% of diamonds are fit for
jewellery. The other 80% are of lower quality. Those lower quality diamonds are called
industrial diamonds, and are used to make things like drill bits and diamond saws. Even if a
diamond is not of gem quality, it still has a value because it is very hard.
Cut and faceted diamonds can be attractive hence their use in jewellery.

77. Glasses—also called eyeglasses (formal), spectacles, or specs (informal)—are frames
bearing lenses worn in front of the eyes, normally for vision correction or eye protection.
Safety glasses are kind of eye protection against flying debris or against visible and near
visible light or radiation. Sunglasses allow better vision in bright daylight, and may protect
against damage from high levels of ultraviolet light. Other types of glasses may be used for
viewing visual information (such as stereoscope) or simply just for aesthetic or fashion
values.

Historical types of glasses include the pincers, monocle, lorgnette, and scissors or scissors-
glasses.

Modern glasses are typically supported by pads on the bridge of the nose and by temple
arms (sides) placed over the ears. CR-39 lenses are the most common plastic lenses due to
their low weight, high scratch resistance, low dispersion, and low transparency to ultraviolet
and infrared radiation. Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses are the lightest and most shatter-
resistant, making them the best for impact protection.

An unpopular aspect of glasses is their inconvenience. Even through the creation of light
frames such as those made of titanium, very flexible frames and new lens materials and
optical coatings, glasses can still cause problems during rigorous sport, Visibility can be
significantly reduced by becoming greasy, trapping vapour when eating hot food, swimming,
walking in rain or rapid temperature changes (such as walking into a warm building from
cold temperature outside). Scraping, fracturing, or breakage of the lenses require time—
consuming and costly professional repair, though modern plastic lenses are almost
indestructible and very scratch—resistant.

What is one good point of CR – 39 lenses?

A It is cheap B It is the lightest

C It is not easily scratched D Infrared can not get through it

E Ultraviolet can not get through it

Dear Human Resources Director:
I just read an article in the New and Observer about Taylor’s new computer center just
north of Durham. I would like to apply for a position as an entry-level programmer at the
center.
I understand that Taylor produces both in-house and customer documentation. I am a
fresh graduate of DeVry Institute of Technology in Atlanta with an Associate’s Degree in
Computer Science. In addition to having taken a broad range of courses, I served as a
computer consultant at the college’s computer center where I helped train computer users
on new systems.
I will be happy to meet you at your convenience and discuss how my education and
experience match your needs. You can reach me at my home address, at (9191) 233-1552,
or at rock@devry.alumni.edu.
Sincerely,
Raymond Krick
