answer to 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.

answer to each of the questions
Over the last several decades, environmental specialists have proposed various strategies aimed at
slowing down this process of deforestation in developing countries. Many of these proposals are indeed
valuable ideas in that they are realistic attempts to address some of the causes of deforestation, such as
farming, cattle ranching, and commercial logging. All of them rely on government involvement of some
kind.
There are three broad categories of solutions: state economic policies, internal agreements, and
international programs. Economic policies generally attempt to limit the activity of small farmers through
government action. Government actions can include the clear proper definition and enforcement of property
rights, meaning that squatting, or illegally setting on land, would be more difficult. Subsidies can be used to
encourage conservation. That is, money may be paid to supplement the income of those farmers who make an
effort to reduce the usual amount of damage to the forest that their farms cause. In addition, taxes can act as a
deterrent to undesirable land use.
An internal agreement may be made between governments and indigenous or native people living in
the moist rainforests and open woodlands of the tropics, where the vast majority of this deforestation is
occurring. Such an agreement would allow people to carry on traditional activities adapted for some
economic benefit.
Finally, international agreements usually involve the exchanges of monetary aid in return for
government action to protect its forests. One such plan seeks to help pay a nation’s debt in exchange for
restrictions on certain kinds of activities in rainforests. Instead of selling logging concessions to pay down
that obligation, the government receives money for banning or restricting logging in its forests. There is also
the proposal of a global fund created in order to grant money to countries that choose to protect their
environments.
It is clear that something must be done to protect the forests of the world. If the current rate of
deforestation continues, the world’s rainforests will vanish within 100 years, causing numerous adverse
effects on the global climate and eliminating the majority of plant and animal species on the planet.

European Union, almost 100 million citizens of all ages invest their time, talents and money to make a
positive contribution to their community by volunteering in civil society organizations, youth clubs,
hospitals, schools, in sport clubs, etc. For the Commission, volunteering is an active expression of civic
participation which strengthens common European values such as solidarity and social cohesion.
Volunteering also provides important learning opportunities, because involvement in voluntary
activities can provide people with new skills and competences that can even improve their employability.
This is especially important at this time of economic crisis. Volunteering plays an important role in sectors
as varied and diverse as education, youth, culture, sport, environment, health, social care, consumer
protection, humanitarian aid, development policy, research, equal opportunities and external relations.
Objectives of the Year:
1. To create an enabling and facilitating environment for volunteering in the EU;
2. To empower volunteer organizations and improve the quality of volunteering;
3. To reward and recognize volunteering activities; and
4. To raise awareness of the value and importance of volunteering.

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 34 to 40.
Nature has always provided a stimulus for inventive minds. Early flying machines clearly were an attempt to
emulate the freedom of birds. Architects and engineers have often consciously modeled buildings on forms found in
nature. A more recent example of the inspiration given by nature is the invention of Velcro. The inventor of this now
common fastening device noticed that small burrs attached to his dog's coat grasped the hairs by means of tiny
hooks. This led him to invent a synthetic fabric whose surfaces mimic the clasping properties of this natural seedpod.
Animals and plants have evolved solutions to the kinds of problems that often interest engineers and designers.
Much current research in material science is concerned with actively examining the natural world, especially at the
molecular level, for inspiration to develop materials with novel properties. This relatively new field of study is
sometimes known as biomimetics, since it consciously attempts to mimic nature.
Researchers have investigated several interesting areas. For example, they have studied how the molecular
structure of antler bone contributes to its amazing toughness, how the skin structure of a worm contributes to its
ability to crawl, how the sea cucumber softens its skeleton and changes shape so that it can squeeze through tiny
gaps in rocks, or what gives wood its high resistance to impact. These investigations have led to several
breakthroughs in the development of composite materials with remarkable properties.
Predictions for future inventions that may be developed from these lines of research include so-called smart
structures that design and repair themselves in a similar way to a variety of processes in the natural world. For
example, engineers have envisaged bridges that would detect areas heavily stressed by vehicle movement or wind.
The bridge structure would then automatically add or move material to the weak areas until the stress is reduced.
The same principle might be used to repair damaged buildings. Other new materials that have been imagined are
substances that would copy photosynthesis in green plants in order to create new energy sources. The potential
impact of biomimetic research is so great that the twenty-first century may come to be known as the "Age of
Materials."
Question 34: The passage is primarily concerned with _________.
A. future research into the uses of Velcro B. the effect of the Age of Materials on nature
C. the development of products based on nature D. problems that preoccupy designers and engineers
Question 35: The word “emulate” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. stimulate B. captivate C. imitate D. activate
Question 36: Which of the following is true about Velcro?
A. It was first used to remove dog hair from the owner’s coat.
B. It exemplifies how a natural structure inspired a useful invention.
C. The inventor of Velcro was very famous before his invention.
D. It has set a trend for tiny hooklike structures in synthetic fabric.
Question 37:The word “novel” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. unique B. familiar C. fictitious D. legendary
Question 38:Which of the following does the word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. sea cucumber B. skeleton C. shape D. worm
Question 39: According to the passage, what do investigations in biomimetics suggest?
A. Biomimetics is not promising.
B. Biomimetics may lead to the development of new creatures.
C. Biomimetics may lead to useful inventions.
D. Biomimetics has provided the new material for smart structures.
Question 40: According to the passage, which of the following would NOT be a useful biomimetic product?
A. Tomatoes mimicking the structures that give sea cucumbers the ability to squeeze through cracks
B. Bulletproof jackets mimicking the structures that give wood its resistance to impact
C. Glass in windshields mimicking the structures that give antler bone its toughness
D. Cables mimicking the structures that give spiderwebs their flexibility and tensile strength
