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 following questions.
It is not surprising that the birthplace of cola was the hot and humid American South. This region had long
specialized in creating delicious soft drinks. A druggist in Atlanta, Georgia named John Pemberton created the
most well–known drink brand in the world in the 1880s. However, it seems clear that he had no idea how big it
would become.
Like many American pharmacists of the day, Pemberton was opposed to the drinking of alcohol and wanted to
produce a stimulating soft drink. First, he made "the French Wine of Coca," made from the coca leaf. Then he

began to experiment with the cola nut. Eventually, he managed to make a combination of the two that he thought
was sweet, but not too sweet. Deciding that "the two C's would look well in advertising," he named it Coca–Cola.
Pemberton's invention caught on fairly quickly. By 1905, "Coke" was being advertised all over the country as
"The Great Natural Temperance Drink." The drink enjoyed additional success since there was a large and popular
temperance movement in the US at that time. In the 1920s, alcohol was outlawed, and sales of Coke rose
significantly. However, they continued to rise even after the law was repeated.
Another reason for Coke's popularity was good business sense. A year after he invented it, Pemberton had sold
Coca–Cola to Asa Griggs Candler for only $283.26! Candler was a marketing genius, and by the time he sold the
Coca–Cola Company in1919, it was worth $25 million.

Question 39. Which of the following would be the best title for the reading?
A. The Invention and History of Coca–Cola B. Cola is the World’s Most Popular Soft Drink
C. The Temperance Movement and Coke’s success D. John Pemberton created Coca–Cola.

A. he made “French wine of Coca” from the coca leaf
B. he objected to the drinking of alcohol
C. he produced stimulating alcohol from coca leaves and cola nuts
D. he made “French wine of Coca” from the cola nut
Question 42. In paragraph 1, the word "it" refers to________.
A. the druggist B. the drink brand C. the idea D. the world

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the answer to
each of the following questions.
All mammals feed their young. Beluga whale mothers, for example, nurse their calves for some twenty months,
until they are about to give birth again and their young are able to find their own food. The behavior of feeding

of the young is built into the reproductive system. It is a nonselective part of parental care and the defining feature
of a mammal, the most important thing that mammals-- whether marsupials, platypuses, spiny anteaters, or
placental mammals -- have in common.
But not all animal parents, even those that tend their offspring to the point of hatching or birth, feed their young.
Most egg-guarding fish do not, for the simple reason that their young are so much smaller than the parents and
eat food that is also much smaller than the food eaten by adults. In reptiles, the crocodile mother protects her
young after they have hatched and takes them down to the water, where they will find food, but she does not
actually feed them. Few insects feed their young after hatching, but some make other arrangement, provisio ning
their cells and nests with caterpillars and spiders that they have paralyzed with their venom and stored in a state
of suspended animation so that their larvae might have a supply of fresh food when they hatch.
For animals other than mammals, then, feeding is not intrinsic to parental care. Animals add it to their reproductive
strategies to give them an edge in their lifelong quest for descendants. The most vulnerable moment in any
animal's life is when it first finds itself completely on its own, when it must forage and fend for itself. Feeding
postpones that moment until a young animal has grown to such a size that it is better able to cope. Young that are
fed by their parents become nutritionally independent at a much greater fraction of their full adult size. And in
the meantime those young are shielded against the vagaries of fluctuating of difficult-to-find supplies. Once a
species does take the step of feeding its young, the young become totally dependent on the extra effort. If both
parents are removed, the young generally do not survive.

Question 44. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The care that various animals give to their offspring.
B. The difficulties young animals face in obtaining food.
C. The methods that mammals use to nurse their young.
D. The importance among young mammals of becoming independent.
Question 45. What can be inferred from the passage about the practice of animal parents feeding their
young?
A. It is unknown among fish. B. It is unrelated to the size of the young.
C. It is dangerous for the parents. D. It is most common among mammals.
Question 46. In paragraph 2, the word “offspring” is closest in meaning to _______.
A. a person’s children B. the first season of the year

C. the young of an animal D. parents and children

Question 47. According to the passage, how do some insects make sure their young have food?
A. By storing food near their young.
B. By locating their nests or cells near spiders and caterpillars.

A. their parents are away searching for food B. their parents have many young to feed
C. they are only a few days old D. they first become independent
