Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to choose the word
or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 26 to 30.
PEER PRESSURE
One of the strongest influences on children today is that of their peers. (26) their classmates
think, how they dress and how they act in class and out of it affect the behavior of nearly every child at
school. In their efforts not to be different, (27) children go so far as to hide their intelligence
and ability in case they are made fun of. Generally, children do not want to stand out from the crowd.
They want to fit in, to be accepted.
In psychological terms, the importance of peer pressure cannot be over emphasized. There is a lot of
evidence that it has great bearing on all aspects of children's lives, from the clothes they wear, the music
they listen to and their attitude to study to their ambitions in life, their relationships and their sense of
self- worth. (28) , as children grow up into adolescents, individuality becomes more acceptable,
desirable even, and in their search for their own personal style, the teenager and young adult will begin
to experiment and be more willing to (29) the risk of rejection by the group. Concern about
intellectual prowess and achieving good exam results can dominate as the atmosphere of competition
develops and worries about the future (30) any fears of appearing too brainy.

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 31 to 35
In April 1961, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin made history when he became the first man to travel in
space. On July 20, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the
Moon. Now that humans have been to the Moon and robots have been sent to Mars, some people
believe the next step is for humans to visit Mars. There's no doubt that the first person to walk on Mars
will become as famous as Gagarin or Armstrong, and many astronauts would love the opportunity. But
what is space travel really like for the men and women who go on these missions?
Many astronauts suffer physical problems on these missions, even if they are in space for just a few
months. Some of these problems are short-lived; others may be long-lasting. More than two-thirds of all
astronauts suffer from motion sickness while traveling in space. In an environment without gravity, the
body cannot tell up from down. The body's internal balance system sends confusing signals to the brain,
which can result in nausea lasting as long as a few days. The amount of blood and other fluids in the
body also ends up being distributed differently after an extended period of time in this environment.
More fluid than normal ends up in the face, neck, and chest, resulting in a puffy face, bulging neck
veins, and a slightly enlarged heart.

In addition to physical difficulties, astronauts who travel for long periods may also suffer from
psychological stress. Space travel requires astronauts to be very focused, balanced people. The irregular
sleep, long working hours, and the lack of night and day can affect a person's emotions and stress level.
Being able to control one's emotions is an important characteristic for an astronaut. A major factor that
affects astronauts' mental well-being is time. To date, astronauts have only spent a few months in space
at a time, but longer expeditions would require astronauts to spend significantly more time inside a
spaceship. Being confined in a small space for such a long period of time is not healthy.
Astronauts- especially those who achieved significant “firsts” such as Gagarin and Armstrong-are often
seen as exciting adventurers. This may be accurate, but it's also worth remembering their dedication and
the sacrifices they make to explore our universe.
(Adapted from Active Skills for Reading by Neil J Anderson)

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 36 to 42
The passenger pigeon was a legendary species. Flying in vast numbers across North America, with
potentially many millions within a single flock, their migration was once one of nature’s great
spectacles. Sadly, the passenger pigeon’s existence came to an end on 1 September 1914, when the last
living specimen died at Cincinnati Zoo. Geneticist Ben Novak is lead researcher on an ambitious project
which now aims to bring the bird back to life through a process known as ‘de-extinction’. The basic
premise involves using cloning technology to turn the DNA of extinct animals into a fertilised embryo,
which is carried by the nearest relative still in existence – in this case, the abundant band-tailed pigeon –
before being born as a living, breathing animal. Passenger pigeons are one of the pioneering species in
this field, but they are far from the only ones on which this cutting-edge technology is being trialled.

In Australia, the thylacine, more commonly known as the Tasmanian tiger, is another extinct creature
which genetic scientists are striving to bring back to life. ‘There is no carnivore now in Tasmania that
fills the niche which thylacines once occupied,’ explains Michael Archer of the University of New
South Wales. He points out that in the decades since the thylacine went extinct, there has been a spread
in a ‘dangerously debilitating’ facial tumour syndrome which threatens the existence of the Tasmanian
devils, the island’s other notorious resident. Thylacines would have prevented this spread because they
would have killed significant numbers of Tasmanian devils. ‘If that contagious cancer had popped up
previously, it would have burned out in whatever region it started. The return of thylacines to Tasmania
could help to ensure that devils are never again subjected to risks of this kind.’
Since the disappearance of this key species, ecosystems in the eastern US have suffered, as the lack
of disturbance caused by thousands of passenger pigeons wrecking trees and branches means there has
been minimal need for regrowth. This has left forests stagnant and therefore unwelcoming to the plants
and animals which evolved to help regenerate the forest after a disturbance. According to Novak, a
hybridized band-tailed pigeon, with the added nesting habits of a passenger pigeon, could, in theory, re-
establish that forest disturbance, thereby creating a habitat necessary for a great many other native
species to thrive.
Shapiro prefers to focus the debate on how this emerging technology could be used to fully understand
why various species went extinct in the first place, and therefore how we could use it to make genetic
modifications that could prevent mass extinctions in the future. “I would also say there’s an incredible
moral hazard to not do anything at all,” she continues. “We know that what we are doing today is not
enough, and we have to be willing to take some calculated and measured risks,”

C. He proposed using cloning technology to transform the DNA of the extinct species into a fertilized
