XI. Read the following passages and choose the best opinion to complete the blank or answer the
questions.
Mountaineers have noted that as they climb, for example, up to the 12,633-foot. Humphreys Peak
in the San Francisco Peaks in Arizona, plant life changes radically. Starting among the cacti of the Sonoran
Desert, one climbs into a pine forest at 7,000 feet and a treeless alpine tundra at the summit. It may seem
that plants at a given altitude are associated in what can be called “communities” – groupings of interacting
species. The idea is that over time, plants that require particular climate and soil conditions come to live in
the same places, and hence are frequently to be found together. Scientists who study the history of plant life
are known as paleobotanists, or paleobots for short. They build up a picture of how groups of plants have
responded to climate changes and how ecosystems develop. But are these associations, which are real in the
present, permanent?
A great natural experiment took place on this planet between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago, when
small changes in the earth’s orbit and axis of rotation caused great sheets of ice to spread from the poles.
These glaciers covered much of North America and Europe to depths of up to two miles, and then, as the
climate warmed, they retreated. During this retreat, they left behind newly uncovered land for living things to
colonize, and as those living things moved in they laid down a record we can read now. As the ice retreated
and plants started to grow near a lake, they would release pollen. Some would fall into the lake, sink to the
bottom, and be incorporated into the sediment. By drilling into the lake bottom it is possible to read the
record of successive plant life around the lake. The fossil record seems clear; there is little or no evidence that
entire groups of plants moved north together. Things that lived together in the past don’t live together now,
and things that live together now didn’t live together in the past. Each individual organism moved at its own
pace. The fossil record seems to be telling us that we should be thinking about preserving species by giving
them room to maneuver – to respond to environmental changes.
76. What is the passage mainly about?

(A) The effects of the ice age on plants
(B) Plant migration after the ice age
(C) The need to develop a new approach to environmental issues
(D) Communities of plants live at different altitudes
77. The word “radically” in line 2 is closest in meaning to
(A) variably (B) demonstrably (C) quickly (D) dramatically
78. The author mentions “cacti” in line 2 and a ”treeless alpine tundra” in line 3 to illustrate
(A) changes in climate
(B) the effects of the ice age
(C) communities of plants
(D) plant migration
79. The word “which” in line 8 refers to
(A) the responses of plants to climate changes
(B) the current theories of ecosystems
(C) the developments of ecosystems
(D) plant life changes
80. The word “axis” in line 11 is closest in meaning to
(A) center (B) method (C) change (D) slowdown
81. The word “successive” in line 16 is closest in meaning to
(A) extinct (B) consecutive (C) accumulative (D) following
82. The passage states that by drilling into the lake bottom it is possible to find successive fossils of:
(A) sediment (B) ice (C) plant life (D) pollen
83. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage
(A) –that the migratory patterns of plants are dependent upon changes in climate
(B) –that modern conservation methods should consider the migratory patterns of plants
(C) –that current associations of plants are similar to those in the past
4
(D) –that another ice age is likely to occur at some time
84. According to the passage, the movement of individual species of plants
(A) occurs in groups
(B) often depends upon the formation of lakes
(C) does not occur in groups
(D) depends upon climate and soil conditions
85. All of the following are true except
(A) The ice age occurred when small changes affected the movement of the earth
(B) Fossil records seem to indicate that plants will be preserved if they have sufficient room to move
(C) Fossil records clearly show that entire groups of plants are unlikely to have moved together
(D) In the ice age glaciers covered the world to depths of up to two miles
