Scientists have proven that our genes (34) _______ our physical characteristics and traits such as height,
hair color, and eye color. For example, we get two genes from our parents to decide the color of our eyes. The
gene for brown eyes is dominant, or stronger than the gene for blue eyes. Genes that are not dominant, such as
the gene for blue eyes, are called (35) _______ genes. In order to have blue eyes, we need to have two genes for
blue eyes.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
word for each of the questions.
For many years, scientists have been arguing about global warming. While they don't all agree about what
this might mean for Planet Earth, many think it is going on - and that we can do something about it. We need a
few more years to gather facts before anyone can say for sure. But people need to start now to do things to stop
it.
There are many types of gases in our atmosphere. Some of them absorb the heat from the sun and control
our climate. "Greenhouse gases” are those that hold the heat around the planet's surface. When we increase the
level of these gases, we upset the balance. These extra gases trap even more heat.
Some scientists say global warming has already started to change the environment. The Earth's temperature
has risen one degree Fahrenheit this century. Many scientists believe it could rise from two to eight degrees
Fahrenheit in the next hundred years. This would be the fastest rise in 10,000 years.
Sea levels could rise. Ice sheets could melt and add to the water level. Many places near the coast would be
in danger of flooding. If the climate change is too large and too fast, some plants and animals could really
suffer. They could even die out. Weather could become more violent and extreme. In some places there would
be more forest fires. But in other areas there would be more rain and snow, storms and floods.

 A. Global warming and its negative effects. B. Global warming and forest fires.
C. Global warming and suggested solutions. D. Global warming and its advantages.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
word for each of the questions.
Stonehenge, one of the oldest mysteries in the world lies in southern England. Even the name is ancient.
The word "henge" comes from Old English used over a thousand years ago. The word meant "hanging, so
Stonehenge means "hanging stones." However, the hanging stones go back much further than that.
Most recent research has found that Stonehenge was built in three stages and took at least 1,400 years to
build. The first stage was started about 5,000 years ago and took 50 years to complete. In this first construction,
the people who built Stonehenge dug a ditch and some holes. Historians believe these holes held long wooden
poles. They don't know if there was a round building there or if the log poles were connected together more like
the stones there today. However, they have found some digging tools made from animal bones there which has
told them how old this stage is.
The second stage lasted for approximately the next 500 years. In this phase, it seems that some new holes
were made and some of the old holes were filled in. One of the most interesting things is that the old holes were
usually filled with burnt materials, often human ashes! These ashes and other building tools help historians tell
the age of the second phase.
The final phase took the longest time; almost 1,000 years. Some of the stones were brought by water, while
others came over land. These stones are terribly large and would be difficult even for modern machines to
move. How did the ancient people manage to move them? No one can say for certain, but it seems most likely
that they were moved through simple machines and willpower.
How the stones got into place is only one of the mysteries surrounding Stonehenge. Who built the massive
monument? Why did they build it? Was it for an ancient religion? Was it a tomb for a great person? Is it the
gateway to another world? No one can answer these questions, but there is one thing people agree on whenever
they see it. Stonehenge is one of the most impressive ancient mysteries anyone has ever seen.
