READING PASSAGE 1
You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-15 which are based on Reading Passage 1 below
Global Warming
Global warming is related to the more general phenomenon of climate change, which refers to
changes in the totality of attributes that define climate. In addition to changes in air temperature, cli-
mate change involves changes to precipitation patterns, winds, ocean currents, and other measures
of Earth’s climate. Normally, climate change can be viewed as the combination of various natural
forces occurring over diverse timescales. Since the advent of human civilization, climate change has
involved an “anthropogenic,” or exclusively human-caused, element, and this anthropogenic element
has become more important in the industrial period of the past two centuries. The term global warm-
ing is used specifically to refer to any warming of near-surface air during the past two centuries that
can be traced to anthropogenic causes.
To define the concepts of global warming and climate change properly, it is first necessary to recog-
nize that the climate of Earth has varied across many timescales, ranging from an individual human
life span to billions of years. This variable climate history is typically classified in terms of “regimes”
or “epochs.” For instance, the Pleistocene glacial epoch (about 2,600,000 to 11,700 years ago) was
marked by substantial variations in the global extent of glaciers and ice sheets. These variations took
place on timescales of tens to hundreds of millennia and were driven by changes in the distribution
of solar radiation across Earth’s surface. The distribution of solar radiation is known as the insolation
pattern, and it is strongly affected by the geometry of Earth’s orbit around the Sun and by the orien-
tation, or tilt, of Earth’s axis relative to the direct rays of the Sun.
Worldwide, the most recent glacial period, or ice age, culminated about 21,000 years ago in what
is often called the Last Glacial Maximum. During this time, continental ice sheets extended well
into the middle latitude regions of Europe and North America, reaching as far south as present-day
London and New York City. Global annual mean temperature appears to have been about 4–5 °C
(7–9 °F) colder than in the mid-20th century. It is important to remember that these figures are a
global average. In fact, during the height of this last ice age, Earth’s climate was characterized by
greater cooling at higher latitudes (that is, toward the poles) and relatively little cooling over large
parts of the tropical oceans (near the Equator). This glacial interval terminated abruptly about 11,700
years ago and was followed by the subsequent relatively ice-free period known as the Holocene Ep-
och. The modern period of Earth’s history is conventionally defined as residing within the Holocene.
Reading 7
However, some scientists have argued that the Holocene Epoch terminated in the relatively recent
past and that Earth currently resides in a climatic interval that could justly be called the Anthropo-
cene Epoch—that is, a period during which humans have exerted a dominant influence over climate.
Though less dramatic than the climate changes that occurred during the Pleistocene Epoch, signif-
icant variations in global climate have nonetheless taken place over the course of the Holocene.
During the early Holocene, roughly 9,000 years ago, atmospheric circulation and precipitation pat-
terns appear to have been substantially different from those of today. For example, there is evidence
for relatively wet conditions in what is now the Sahara Desert. The change from one climatic regime
to another was caused by only modest changes in the pattern of insolation within the Holocene
interval as well as the interaction of these patterns with large-scale climate phenomena such as
monsoons and El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
During the middle Holocene, some 5,000–7,000 years ago, conditions appear to have been relatively
warm—indeed, perhaps warmer than today in some parts of the world and during certain seasons.
For this reason, this interval is sometimes referred to as the Mid-Holocene Climatic Optimum. The
relative warmth of average near-surface air temperatures at this time, however, is somewhat unclear.
Changes in the pattern of insolation favoured warmer summers at higher latitudes in the Northern
Hemisphere, but these changes also produced cooler winters in the Northern Hemisphere and rela-
tively cool conditions year-round in the tropics. Any overall hemispheric or global mean temperature
changes thus reflected a balance between competing seasonal and regional changes. In fact, recent
theoretical climate model studies suggest that global mean temperatures during the middle Holo-
cene were probably 0.2–0.3 °C (0.4–0.5 °F) colder than average late 20th-century conditions.
Over subsequent millennia, conditions appear to have cooled relative to middle Holocene levels.
This period has sometimes been referred to as the “Neoglacial.” In the middle latitudes this cooling
trend was associated with intermittent periods of advancing and retreating mountain glaciers rem-
iniscent of (though far more modest than) the more substantial advance and retreat of the major
continental ice sheets of the Pleistocene climate epoch.
The average surface temperature of Earth is maintained by a balance of various forms of solar and
terrestrial radiation. Solar radiation is often called “shortwave” radiation because the frequencies of
the radiation are relatively high and the wavelengths relatively short—close to the visible portion of
the electromagnetic spectrum. Terrestrial radiation, on the other hand, is often called “longwave” ra-
diation because the frequencies are relatively low and the wavelengths relatively long—somewhere
in the infrared part of the spectrum. Downward-moving solar energy is typically measured in watts
per square metre. The energy of the total incoming solar radiation at the top of Earth’s atmosphere
(the so-called “solar constant”) amounts roughly to 1,366 watts per square metre annually. Adjusting
for the fact that only one-half of the planet’s surface receives solar radiation at any given time, the
average surface insolation is 342 watts per square metre annually.
The amount of solar radiation absorbed by Earth’s surface is only a small fraction of the total solar ra-
diation entering the atmosphere. For every 100 units of incoming solar radiation, roughly 30 units are
8 Reading
reflected back to space by either clouds, the atmosphere, or reflective regions of Earth’s surface. This
reflective capacity is referred to as Earth’s planetary albedo, and it need not remain fixed over time,
since the spatial extent and distribution of reflective formations, such as clouds and ice cover, can
change. The 70 units of solar radiation that are not reflected may be absorbed by the atmosphere,
clouds, or the surface. In the absence of further complications, in order to maintain thermodynamic
equilibrium, Earth’s surface and atmosphere must radiate these same 70 units back to space. Earth’s
surface temperature (and that of the lower layer of the atmosphere essentially in contact with the
surface) is tied to the magnitude of this emission of outgoing radiation according to the Stefan-Boltz-
mann law.
Earth’s energy budget is further complicated by the greenhouse effect. Trace gases with certain
chemical properties—the so-called greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),
and nitrous oxide (N2O)—absorb some of the infrared radiation produced by Earth’s surface. Because
of this absorption, some fraction of the original 70 units does not directly escape to space. Because
greenhouse gases emit the same amount of radiation they absorb and because this radiation is emit-
ted equally in all directions (that is, as much downward as upward), the net effect of absorption by
greenhouse gases is to increase the total amount of radiation emitted downward toward Earth’s
surface and lower atmosphere. To maintain equilibrium, Earth’s surface and lower atmosphere must
emit more radiation than the original 70 units. Consequently, the surface temperature must be high-
er. This process is not quite the same as that which governs a true greenhouse, but the end effect is
similar. The presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere leads to a warming of the surface and
lower part of the atmosphere (and a cooling higher up in the atmosphere) relative to what would be
expected in the absence of greenhouse gases.
It is essential to distinguish the “natural,” or background, greenhouse effect from the “enhanced”
greenhouse effect associated with human activity. The natural greenhouse effect is associated with
surface warming properties of natural constituents of Earth’s atmosphere, especially water vapour,
carbon dioxide, and methane. The existence of this effect is accepted by all scientists. Indeed, in its
absence, Earth’s average temperature would be approximately 33 °C (59 °F) colder than today, and
Earth would be a frozen and likely uninhabitable planet. What has been subject to controversy is the
so-called enhanced greenhouse effect, which is associated with increased concentrations of green-
house gases caused by human activity. In particular, the burning of fossil fuels raises the concentra-
tions of the major greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and these higher concentrations have the
potential to warm the atmosphere by several degrees.

READING PASSAGE 2
Rhinoceros, (family Rhinocerotidae), plural rhinoceroses, rhinoceros, or rhinoceri, any of five or six
species of giant horn-bearing herbivores that include some of the largest living land mammals. Only
African and Asian elephants are taller at the shoulder than the two largest rhinoceros species—
the white, or square-lipped, rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum), which some divide into two species
(northern white rhinoceros [C. cottoni] and southern white rhinoceros [C. simum]), and the Indian, or
greater one-horned, rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis). The white rhinoceros and the black rhinoc-
eros (Diceros bicornis) live in Africa, while the Indian rhinoceros, the Javan rhinoceros (R. sondaicus),
and the Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) live in Asia. The precarious state of the sur-
viving species (all but one are endangered) is in direct contrast to the early history of this group as
one of the most successful lineages of hoofed mammals. Today the total population of all the rhinoc-
eros species combined is probably fewer than 30,000. Rhinoceroses today are restricted to eastern
and southern Africa and to subtropical and tropical Asia.
Rhinoceroses are characterized by the possession of one or two horns on the upper surface of the
snout; these horns are not true horns but are composed of keratin, a fibrous protein found in hair.
Modern rhinoceroses are large animals, ranging from 2.5 metres (8 feet) long and 1.5 metres (5 feet)
high at the shoulder in the Sumatran rhinoceros to about 4 metres (13 feet) long and nearly 2 metres
(7 feet) high in the white rhinoceros. Adults of larger species weigh 3–5 tons. Rhinoceroses are noted
for their thick skin, which forms platelike folds, especially at the shoulders and thighs. All rhinos are
gray or brown in colour, including the white rhinoceros, which tends to be paler than the others. Aside
from the Sumatran rhinoceros, they are nearly or completely hairless, except for the tail tip and ear
fringes, but some fossil species were covered with dense fur. The feet of the modern species have
three short toes, tipped with broad, blunt nails.
Reading 11
Most rhinoceroses are solitary. Individuals usually avoid each other, but the white rhinoceros lives in
groups of up to 10 animals. In solitary species the home territory is crisscrossed with well-worn trails
and often marked at the borders with urine and piles of dung.
Rhinoceroses have poor eyesight but acute senses of hearing and smell. Most prefer to avoid humans,
but males, and females with calves, may charge with little provocation. The black rhinoceros (Di-
ceros bicornis) is normally ill-tempered and unpredictable and may charge any unfamiliar sound or
smell. Despite their bulk, rhinoceroses are remarkably agile; the black rhinoceros can attain a speed
of about 45 km (30 miles) per hour, even in thick brush, and can turn around rapidly after missing a
charge. Like elephants, rhinoceroses communicate using infrasonic frequencies that are below the
threshold of human hearing. The use of infrasonic frequencies is likely an adaptation for rhinoceros-
es to keep in touch with each other where they inhabit dense vegetation and probably for females to
advertise to males when females are receptive to breeding.
Rhinoceroses are by far the largest of the perissodactyls, an order of hoofed mammals that also in-
cludes the horses and zebras. One of the features of very large body size in mammals is a low repro-
ductive rate. In rhinoceroses, females do not conceive until about six years of age; gestation is long
(16 months in most species), and they give birth to only one calf at a time. The period of birth between
calves can range from 2 to 4.5 years. Thus, the loss of a number of breeding-age females to poachers
can greatly slow the recovery of rhinoceros populations. However, an Indian rhinoceros female will
conceive again quickly if she loses her calf. In this species tigers kill about 10–20 percent of calves.
Tigers rarely kill calves older than 1 year, so those Indian rhinoceroses that survive past that point are
invulnerable to nonhuman predators.
The three Asian species fight with their razor-sharp lower outer incisor teeth, not with their horns. In
Indian rhinoceroses such teeth, or tusks, can reach 13 cm (5 inches) in length among dominant males
and inflict lethal wounds on other males competing for access to breeding females. The African spe-
cies, in contrast, lack these long tusklike incisors and instead fight with their horns.
The rhinoceros’s horn is also the cause of its demise. Powdered rhinoceros horn has been a highly
sought commodity in traditional Chinese medicine—not as an aphrodisiac, as is often widely report-
ed, but as an antifever agent. Substitute agents have been found, particularly pig bone and water
buffalo horn, but rhinoceros horn commands tens of thousands of dollars per kilogram in Asian mar-
kets. Today poaching remains a serious problem throughout the range of all species of rhinoceros.
The term rhinoceros is sometimes also applied to other, extinct members of the family Rhinocerot-
idae, a diverse group that includes several dozen fossil genera, among them the woolly rhinoceros
(Coelodonta antiquitatis). Early rhinoceroses resembled small horses and lacked horns. (Horns are a
relatively recent development in the lineage.) The largest land mammal ever to have lived was not
an elephant but Indricotherium, a perissodactyl that was 6 metres (20 feet) long and could browse
treetops like a giraffe.
Javan rhinoceros, (Rhinoceros sondaicus), also called lesser one-horned rhinoceros, one of three
Asian species of rhinoceroses, found only on the island of Java in Indonesia. It is the rarest living rhi-
12 Reading
noceros and one of the world’s most endangered mammals. The species is restricted to Ujung Kulon
National Park, a protected area on a small peninsula extending from the western end of Java.
Although only a few Javan rhinoceroses have ever been measured or weighed, the species is believed
to be about the size of the black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis). Those individuals that have been
examined were 2–3.2 metres (approximately 6–11 feet) in length and weighed 900–2,300 kg (about
2,000–5,100 pounds). Both males and females have lower incisors resembling tusks, which they use
to fight, and the male has short horns about 25 cm (10 inches) long. Females reproduce at intervals
of 3–5 years, giving birth to a single calf after a gestation period of 16 months.
The Javan rhinoceros inhabits forests, marshy areas, and regions of thick bush and bamboo. It is an
active climber in mountainous country. Javan rhinoceroses are mainly browsers and often feed on
pioneer plants that dominate in gaps in the forest created by fallen trees. This species once occupied
the islands of Java, Borneo, and Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, and a region extending northward
through Myanmar (Burma) into Assam and eastern Bengal. The last known population from mainland
Asia, which was located in Cat Loc, Vietnam, had died out by 2011, and thus Ujung Kulon National
Park became the final refuge for these animals. In 2020, park managers, relying on camera trap data
to identify and track the animals, estimated that no more than 68–74 surviving individuals remained.
Black rhinoceros, (Diceros bicornis), the third largest rhinoceros and one of two African species of rhi-
noceros. The black rhinoceros typically weighs between 700 and 1,300 kg (1,500 and 2,900 pounds);
males are the same size as females. It stands 1.5 metres (5 feet) high at the shoulder and is 3.5 metres
(11.5 feet) long. The black rhinoceros occupies a variety of habitats, including open plains, sparse
thorn scrub, savannas, thickets, and dry forests, as well as mountain forests and moorlands at high
altitudes. It is a selective browser, and grass plays a minor role in its diet. Where succulent plants,
such as euphorbias, are abundant in dry habitats, it can survive without flowing water. Where water
is available, drinking is regular and frequent; black rhinoceroses also dig for water in dry riverbeds.
They are normally ill-tempered and unpredictable and may charge any unfamiliar sound or smell.
Four subspecies are recognized, including one from Namibia that lives in near-desert conditions.
The black rhinoceros was originally widespread from the Cape of Good Hope to southwestern An-
gola and throughout eastern Africa as far as Somalia, parts of Ethiopia, and Sudan. Its range also
extended westward through the northern savanna zone to Lake Chad, northern Cameroon, northern
Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, and possibly Guinea. Black rhinoceroses were abundant about
1900; some estimates put their numbers at more than one million individuals.
Rampant poaching reduced the total black rhinoceros population to some 2,400 by 1995, and the In-
ternational Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources listed it as a critically endan-
gered species starting in 1996. Conservation efforts brought the numbers up to approximately 5,600
by 2018. Black rhinoceroses now occupy a much smaller area, within which they are found in scat-
tered pockets, many of them in parks and reserves. The species still occurs in South Africa, Namibia,
Angola, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Botswana, and Swaziland. Pop-
ulations kept in well-guarded small sanctuaries and game ranches have expanded rapidly. Poaching
Reading 13
remains a serious threat to the species, and wildlife officials struggle to protect free-ranging black
rhinoceroses in much larger reserves, such as the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania, a park the size
of Switzerland. South Africa and Namibia have more black rhinoceroses than any other countries, but
the future of the animals outside parks and reserves is rather bleak.
Northern white rhinoceros, (Ceratotherium simum cottoni), also called square-lipped rhinoceros,
critically endangered subspecies of the white rhinoceros and the most endangered animal on Earth.
The northern white rhinoceros formerly inhabited South Sudan and adjacent areas of Uganda and
the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with its range extending westward into the Central African
Republic. The remaining population, two females, resides at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. Most
researchers divide white rhinoceroses into two subspecies—the northern white rhinoceros (Cera-
totherium simum cottoni) and the southern white rhinoceros (C. simum simum)—but some, citing
differences in comparative anatomy and DNA, suggest that the two groups are different species.
The northern white rhinoceros is a grazing mammal with a broad, square muzzle. It prefers short
grasses 7–10 cm (3–4 inches) high for grazing, and it rests under shade trees. It tends to be paler than
rhinoceroses of other species. It lives in groups of up to 10 individuals and fights with its horns. Male
northern white rhinoceroses are noticeably larger than females.

READING PASSAGE 3
You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 29-40 which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.
Elon Musk, (born June 28, 1971, Pretoria, South Africa), South African-born American entrepreneur
who cofounded the electronic-payment firm PayPal and formed SpaceX, maker of launch vehicles
and spacecraft. He was also one of the first significant investors in, as well as chief executive officer
of, the electric car manufacturer Tesla.
Early life
Musk was born to a South African father and a Canadian mother. He displayed an early talent for
computers and entrepreneurship. At age 12 he created a video game and sold it to a computer maga-
zine. In 1988, after obtaining a Canadian passport, Musk left South Africa because he was unwilling to
support apartheid through compulsory military service and because he sought the greater economic
opportunities available in the United States.
PayPal and SpaceX
Musk attended Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, and in 1992 he transferred to the University of
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, where he received bachelor’s degrees in physics and economics in 1997.
He enrolled in graduate school in physics at Stanford University in California, but he left after only
two days because he felt that the Internet had much more potential to change society than work in
physics. In 1995 he founded Zip2, a company that provided maps and business directories to online
newspapers. In 1999 Zip2 was bought by the computer manufacturer Compaq for $307 million, and
Musk then founded an online financial services company, X.com, which later became PayPal, which
specialized in transferring money online. The online auction eBay bought PayPal in 2002 for $1.5
billion.
Musk was long convinced that for life to survive, humanity has to become a multiplanet species. How-
ever, he was dissatisfied with the great expense of rocket launchers. In 2002 he founded Space Explo-
ration Technologies (SpaceX) to make more affordable rockets. Its first two rockets were the Falcon
1 (first launched in 2006) and the larger Falcon 9 (first launched in 2010), which were designed to
cost much less than competing rockets. A third rocket, the Falcon Heavy (first launched in 2018), was
designed to carry 117,000 pounds (53,000 kg) to orbit, nearly twice as much as its largest competitor,
the Boeing Company’s Delta IV Heavy, for one-third the cost. SpaceX has announced the successor
to the Falcon 9 and the Falcon Heavy: the Super Heavy–Starship system. The Super Heavy first stage
would be capable of lifting 100,000 kg (220,000 pounds) to low Earth orbit. The payload would be the
Starship, a spacecraft designed for providing fast transportation between cities on Earth and building
bases on the Moon and Mars. SpaceX also developed the Dragon spacecraft, which carries supplies
to the International Space Station (ISS). Dragon can carry as many as seven astronauts, and it had a
crewed flight carrying astronauts Doug Hurley and Robert Behnken to the ISS in 2020. Musk sought
16 Reading
to reduce the expense of spaceflight by developing a fully reusable rocket that could lift off and re-
turn to the pad it launched from. Beginning in 2012, SpaceX’s Grasshopper rocket made several short
flights to test such technology. In addition to being CEO of SpaceX, Musk was also chief designer in
building the Falcon rockets, Dragon, and Grasshopper.
Tesla
Musk had long been interested in the possibilities of electric cars, and in 2004 he became one of
the major funders of Tesla Motors (later renamed Tesla), an electric car company founded by entre-
preneurs Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. In 2006 Tesla introduced its first car, the Roadster,
which could travel 245 miles (394 km) on a single charge. Unlike most previous electric vehicles,
which Musk thought were stodgy and uninteresting, it was a sports car that could go from 0 to 60
miles (97 km) per hour in less than four seconds. In 2010 the company’s initial public offering raised
about $226 million. Two years later Tesla introduced the Model S sedan, which was acclaimed by
automotive critics for its performance and design. The company won further praise for its Model X
luxury SUV, which went on the market in 2015. The Model 3, a less-expensive vehicle, went into pro-
duction in 2017.
Musk expressed reservations about Tesla being publicly traded, and in August 2018 he made a series
of tweets about taking the company private, noting that he had “secured funding.” The following
month the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Musk for securities fraud, alleging
that the tweets were “false and misleading.” Shortly thereafter Tesla’s board rejected the SEC’s pro-
posed settlement, reportedly because Musk had threatened to resign. However, the news sent Tesla
stock plummeting, and a harsher deal was ultimately accepted. Its terms included Musk stepping
down as chairman for three years, though he was allowed to continue as CEO.
Dissatisfied with the projected cost ($68 billion) of a high-speed rail system in California, Musk in
2013 proposed an alternate faster system, the Hyperloop, a pneumatic tube in which a pod carrying
28 passengers would travel the 350 miles (560 km) between Los Angeles and San Francisco in 35
minutes at a top speed of 760 miles (1,220 km) per hour, nearly the speed of sound. Musk claimed
that the Hyperloop would cost only $6 billion and that, with the pods departing every two minutes
on average, the system could accommodate the six million people who travel that route every year.
However, he stated that, between running SpaceX and Tesla, he could not devote time to the Hyper-
loop’s development.

Questions 11-13
Average Weight: 32 to 70kg (70-155 lbs)
Average Length: 100 to 180 cm long (3.2-5.9 feet).
Breeding Pattern: As with other kinds of wolves, only the top ranking alpha and beta females in a
pack will be allowed to mate and reproduce. This ensures that possibly scarce food resources at the
critical time will not be spread too thinly across too many pups which could lead to the death of all
or many of them, up to twelve pups are born at a time.
Arctic wolves may give birth in a den dug into the ground or snow where this is possible, though it is
not always the case if the ground is frozen too hard. Ready-made dens in rocks, caves or those dug in
previous years by other wolves will also be used.
Estimated world population: - 200,000.
Diet and feeding: A wide variety of food sources, the majority is of large herbivores such as moose,
caribou, deer, elk, etc. Also smaller prey animals are eaten along with livestock, carrion, and garbage,
arctic wolves are opportunistic as are many predators.
Conservation status: Least Concern.
Distribution: North America and Greenland but not extending into mainland Europe or Asia.
Listening 25
Habitat:
An animal of the far north, living their whole lives above the northern tree line in the Arctic tundra,
arctic wolves roam across North America and Greenland though don’t extend into mainland Europe
or Asia.
It is a kind of grey wolf, though is no longer thought to be a distinct subspecies, it is the least threat-
ened of all grey wolf and subspecies populations as they live in isolated regions that rarely bring
them into contact or conflict with man.
They survive in some of the coldest places on earth, they have a number of anatomical, behavioural
and physiological adaptations that allow them to do this successfully. Arctic wolves live for around
7 to 10 years in the wild.

Questions 14-21
In the fall of 1915, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance sank off the coast of Antarctica,
stranding its crew on drifting sea ice and setting in motion one of history’s most dramatic tales of
overcoming seemingly hopeless odds. While all of the expedition’s 28 crew eventually were rescued,
the ship’s final resting place has remained a much-discussed maritime mystery—the unwritten last
chapter in a legendary story of survival and triumph. That is, until today. A team of researchers has
announced they’ve located the wreck at the bottom of the treacherous Weddell Sea, adjacent to the
northernmost part of Antarctica.
The first images of the ship were transmitted via autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) from near-
ly two miles down on March 5. As the camera glides over the wooden deck of the ship, video captures
century-old ropes, tools, portholes, railings—even the masts and helm—all in nearly pristine condi-
tion due to cold temperatures, the absence of light, and low oxygen in the watery resting place.”

Questions 37-41
The young crocodile emerges from the egg with a length of 20–30 cm (8–12 inches). At first it remains
with its siblings concealed at the edge of its water habitat in order to avoid various predators. Prin-
cipal among these are fishes and birds, but larger crocodiles also prey upon the young. Cannibal-
ism and social exclusion are thought to greatly affect population dynamics and regulate population
growth. During the first three to four years, the young increase in length by about 30 cm (about 1 foot)
per year. The growth rate then gradually decreases, but growth can continue throughout life. Sexual
maturity occurs at about age 10 and at a body length of about 1.5–3 metres (5–10 feet).
Crocodiles in captivity are known to have reached ages of 70 or more years, but longevity in the wild
is poorly known. Life span estimates in the wild are based on growth rates, and limited studies of
bone growth rings suggest that the life spans of wild crocodiles and those in captivity may be similar.
A Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) or an estuarine (or saltwater) crocodile (C. porosus) 6 metres
(about 20 feet) long may live as long as 80 years. On average, the life span of alligators and caimans
is thought to be between 30 and about 60 years, whereas the true crocodiles are thought to live 50
to 75 years.
Crocodiles are mostly nocturnal animals. They are predators and spend most of their time in the wa-
ter; although they are also known to make journeys of several kilometres over land. In the first weeks
of life, crocodiles eat insects, crustaceans, snails, small fishes, frogs, and tadpoles. Older crocodiles
mainly eat fish and are more apt to prey upon waterfowl and on mammals. Occasionally, a member
of one of the larger species eats a human, though such incidents happen so infrequently that croco-
diles cannot be generally regarded as man-eaters.
30 Listening
Crocodiles capture water animals in their jaws with a sideways movement of the muzzle. They have
sensitive pressure receptors located in pits in the scales around the mouth that detect motion; these
structures assist in the capture of prey in dark or murky water. To catch land animals, a crocodile
floats passively or remains motionless at the edge of the water where prey habitually drink. With a
sudden lunge, it seizes an unsuspecting animal and drowns it. If the prey is large, a crocodile may grip
portions of the victim in its jaws and rotate rapidly in the water to tear the prey apart.
Crocodiles thermoregulate by alternately sunning themselves and retiring to shaded areas or cool-
er water. Larger individuals maintain stable body temperatures in the preferred range of 30–32 °C
(86–90 °F) for several hours, even overnight. As a result, these individuals enjoy increased metabolic
efficiency. Several studies of wild populations suggest that complex social relations between individ-
uals are expressed as dominance hierarchies that allow dominant animals better access to preferred
sunning and nesting sites. Some crocodiles also dig burrows into the banks of lakes or rivers. Burrows
may extend for several metres in length and end in a chamber where individuals seek refuge from
drought or cold.
Many crocodiles vocalize to communicate. The young of various species use several squeaking and
grunting sounds, and adults may grunt, growl, and hiss. For example, Siamese crocodiles and cai-
mans emit a loud hiss when threatened, and hatchlings of most species make sounds described as
grunts or quacks. In addition, members of both sexes may produce a loud roar during the breeding
season. A roaring crocodile tenses the muscles of its body so that the head and tail rise high out of
the water. The flanks may vibrate so violently that water is sprayed high into the air from each side.
Sounds, including roars, may be provoked by any loud noise. Many species will respond to gunshots,
motors, and even people mimicking crocodile sounds. These animals also appear to communicate
using chemical signals. Glands in the mandible and cloaca excrete oily chemicals that have a poorly
understood function in communication.
The crocodilian brain is relatively tiny compared with the size of the body; the brain of an alligator
that is 4 metres (13 feet) long weighs only 11 grams (0.02 pound). Nevertheless, crocodiles are ca-
pable of complex behaviours. They are often curious and show evidence of rapid learning. Captive
individuals of some species are known to recognize their keepers and show neither fear nor aggres-
siveness. These animals beg for food, and some even permit themselves to be petted.

READING PASSAGE 1
Global Warming
The term global warming is used specifically to refer to any warming of near-surface air during the
past two centuries that can be traced to anthropogenic causes. To define the concepts of global
warming and climate change properly, it is first necessary to recognize that the climate of Earth
has varied across many timescales, ranging from an individual human life span to billions of years.
This variable climate history is typically classified in terms of “regimes” or “epochs.”
Worldwide, the most recent glacial period, or ice age, culminated about 21,000 years ago in what
is often called the Last Glacial Maximum. Though less dramatic than the climate changes that
occurred during the Pleistocene Epoch, significant variations in global climate have nonetheless
taken place over the course of the Holocene. During the middle Holocene, some 5,000–7,000 years
ago, conditions appear to have been relatively warm—indeed, perhaps warmer than today in some
parts of the world and during certain seasons. For this reason, this interval is sometimes referred to
as the Mid-Holocene Climatic Optimum.
greenhouse effect associated with human activity. The natural greenhouse effect is associated with
surface warming properties of natural constituents of Earth’s atmosphere, especially water vapour,
carbon dioxide, and methane. What has been subject to controversy is the so-called enhanced
greenhouse effect, which is associated with increased concentrations of greenhouse gases caused
by human activity. In particular, the burning of fossil fuels raises the concentrations of the major
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and these higher concentrations have the potential to warm
the atmosphere by several degrees.

13. During the middle Holocene, some 5,000–7,000 years ago, conditions appear to have been rela-
tively warm (YES)
14. Recent theoretical climate model studies suggest that global mean temperatures during the
middle Holocene were probably hotter than average late 20th-century conditions. (NO)
15. The distribution of solar radiation is strongly affected by the geometry of Earth’s orbit around the
Sun and by the orientation, or tilt, of Earth’s axis relative to the direct rays of the Sun. (YES)

WRITING TASK 1
The charts below compare the age structure of the populations of France and India in 1984.
Write a report for a university lecturer, describing the information shown below.
The two charts compare the populations of France and India in terms of age distribution by gender in
the year 1984. It is clear that the population of India was younger than that of France in 1984, with a
noticeably larger proportion of people aged under 20. France, on the other hand, had a significantly
larger percentage of elderly inhabitants.
In India, close to 14% of people were aged 5 or under, and each five-year age bracket above this
contained an increasingly smaller proportion of the population. France’s population, by contrast, was
more evenly distributed across the age ranges, with similar figures (around 7% to 8% of all people) for
each five-year cohort between the ages of 0 and 40. Somewhere between 10% and 15% of all French
people were aged 70 or older, but the equivalent figure for India was only 2%. Looking more closely
at gender, there was a noticeably higher proportion of French women than men in every cohort from
age 50 upwards. For example, almost 3% of French 70- to 75-year-olds were women, while just under
2% were men. No significant gender differences can be seen on the Indian population chart.
WRITING TASK 2
Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the fol-
lowing topic:
Some people think that all university students should study whatever they like. Others believe that
they should only be allowed to study subjects that will be useful in the future, such as those related
to science and technology.
Use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and
relevant evidence.
38 Writing
People have different views about how much choice students should have with regard to what they
can study at university. While some argue that it would be better for students to be forced into certain
key subject areas, I believe that everyone should be able to study the course of their choice.
There are various reasons why people believe that universities should only offer subjects that will be
useful in the future. They may assert that university courses like medicine, engineering and informa-
tion technology are more likely to be beneficial than certain art degrees. From a personal perspec-
tive, it can be argued that these courses provide more job opportunities, career progression, better
salaries, and therefore an improved quality of life for students who take them.
On the societal level, by forcing people to choose particular university subjects, governments can
ensure that any knowledge and skill gaps in the economy are covered. Finally, a focus on technology
in higher education could lead to new inventions, economic growth, and greater future prosperity.
In spite of these arguments, I believe that university students should be free to choose their preferred
areas of study. In my opinion, society will benefit more if our students are passionate about what
they are learning. Besides, nobody can really predict which areas of knowledge will be most useful
to society in the future, and it may be that employers begin to value creative thinking skills above
practical or technical skills. If this were the case, perhaps we would need more students of art, history
and philosophy than of science or technology.
In conclusion, although it might seem sensible for universities to focus only on the most useful sub-
jects, I personally prefer the current system in which people have the right to study whatever they
like.

TASK 2
The most fantastic place I went to is Lombok Island in Indonesia. It’s definitely the best holiday I’ve
ever had, so I will never forget that island.
I went there in 2015 for about a week during my semester holiday. I love the climate in that place as
it got really foggy at about four o’clock, then it’s so bright in the day and also it was surprisingly chilly
during the night.
I went there with five friends of mine. They were my classmates who come from various provinces in
Indonesia.
The thing I remember most about Lombok Island is that there were many cool places to visit, espe-
cially its beaches, such as Selong Belanak Beach, Tanjung Bango, Mawun, Kuta, Semeti, Tanjung Aan,
and others. Besides, there is also Sade Village, a village that maintained the tradition of Sasak tribe.
The island is also known for its delicious traditional food, such as Ayam Taliwang, Plecing Kangkung,
Sate Bulayak, Sate Rembiga and others.
