The correct answer was response a.ReadingRead each passage and the questions which follow. From the four answer choices given, choose the best answer to each question.This passage is about the giant panda.The giant panda is a type of bear found only in China. For a long time, it was classified as a member of the raccoon family, but now is accepted as a separate bear genus. Its status may be the most precarious of all the bears, because giant pandas are restricted to a small area in the extreme west of China and the species remains very vulnerable to the impact of human civilization.The giant panda is a large bear with a dramatic black-and-white pattern coloration to its fur, which gives it a distinctive appearance. It has black markings on the ears, limbs, shoulders, and around the eyes. Its so-called sixth claw on its forefeet is really an enlarged wristbone, and it functions as a thumb in grasping food. Breeding takes place from March to May, and the young are born three to six months later. Two may be born, but usually only one survives. These animals are fairly solitary for most of the year. They do not hibernate and do not roar, as other bears do their call is a bleat. Giant pandas seem to live fairly isolated lives, with loose groups of females in the dominant males range. Each female panda has a small territory in which other females are not welcome, while the territories of the males may overlap. The young, though almost helpless, elicit care with very loud calls. Occasionally, when starving, giant pandas may raid gardens or crops, and even eat chickens, but they are little threat to people, except in close encounters.The food habits of the giant panda are another serious problem in its management. Since they feed almost exclusively on bamboo, which is not highly nutritious, they have to spend 10 to 12 hours feeding each day. The distances that separate the pandas habitats have created six isolated populations, with the total number in the wild estimated at less than 3,000. Only very intense management and care will assure the survival of the species, and recent efforts have at best been barely adequate.101. How did zoologists originally classify the giant panda?a. as a type of bearYou chose:b. as a species of raccoon(correct)c. as a giant raccoond. as a small bear

The correct answer was response b.Explanation: For a long time, it was classified as a member of the raccoon family, but now is accepted as a separate bear genus.102. What is distinctive about the giant panda?a. It has six claws.b. It has enlarged forefeet.You chose:c. It has unusual markings.(correct)d. It has large eyes.

The correct answer was response c.Explanation: The giant panda is a large bear with a dramatic black-and-white pattern coloration to its fur, which gives it a distinctive appearance. It has black markings on the ears, limbs, shoulders, and around the eyes.103. How does the behavior of female pandas differ from that of males?You chose:a. They are more territorial.(correct)b. They are less territorial.c. They do not hibernate.d. They do not roar.

The correct answer was response a.Explanation: Each female panda has a small territory in which other females are not welcome, while the territories of the males may overlap.104. Why do giant pandas need to spend so much of each day eating?a. because they travel great distancesb. because they must feed their youngYou chose:c. because the main ingredient of their diet is low in nutrients(correct)d. because the food supplies they rely on are under threat

The correct answer was response c.Explanation: Since they feed almost exclusively on bamboo, which is not highly nutritious, they have to spend 10 to 12 hours feeding each day.105. According to the passage, what is one reason why the giant pandas survival is threatened?a. The males and females live separately.b. They are smaller than other bear species.c. They are particularly helpless when young.You chose:d. Their habitats are affected by human activity.(correct)

The correct answer was response d.Explanation: Its status may be the most precarious of all the bears, because giant pandas are restricted to a small area in the extreme west of China and the species remains very vulnerable to the impact of human civilization.This passage is about blue sheep.The mountains and slopes of Asia are home to the bharal, more commonly known as the blue sheep. Although their name suggests otherwise, they are actually gray or light brown, with only a hint of blue. Their coloring provides camouflage amongst the rocks of their surroundings, protecting them from such predators as the snow leopard and the brown bear. Also, contrary to their name, the blue sheep are in some ways more like goats. Though the beard, thick-skinned knees, and potent scent are absent, the blue sheep do have the goats wide tail, large dew claws, and the same markings on their front legs. Bharals also display goat-like horns in terms of color and shape. Adult males have horns twenty inches long while females grow thinner horns that measure eight inches.Temperature tolerance and landscape preference vary greatly for blue sheep. They can withstand blistering hot mountains and bitter cold slopes, and their habitats include meadows, hillsides, and bluffs. Their diet consists mainly of grass, though in colder climates its availability decreases, so blue sheep in these regions eat more shrubs and twigs. Their grazing habits generally keep them close to steep cliffs which provide an escape from danger.The blue sheep have a close relative, the dwarf blue sheep, which is found exclusively in China along the Yangtze River, three thousand feet lower in altitude than the blue sheep. There has been some debate over the dwarf blue sheeps classification. Some researchers believe they are simply a lower-quality population of the blue sheep due to their less fertile habitat. Citing several studies concerning genetic testing, others argue that they are a separate subspecies. Regardless, the destruction of the dwarf blue sheeps natural habitat and over-hunting have resulted in a significant decrease in their population. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is convinced they should be in a separate category and have placed them on their list of threatened species. Perhaps this status will help their numbers thrive.106. According to the passage, how does the blue sheep compare to goats?a. They have similar beards.b. They have similar knees.c. They have similar tail lengths.You chose:d. They have similar horn structures.(correct)

The correct answer was response d.Explanation: Bharals also display goat-like horns in terms of color and shape.107. What does paragraph 1 suggest about blue sheep?a. Many goats could be classified as blue sheep.b. Their predators utilize camouflage to prey on them.You chose:c. Their appearance and name do not correlate.(correct)d. Males are likened to goats while females are not.

The correct answer was response c.Explanation: Although their name suggests otherwise, they are actually gray or light brown, with only a hint of blue.108. According to the passage, what causes blue sheep to vary their diet?You chose:a. a decrease in temperature(correct)b. an increase in elevationc. the preference for bitter foodsd. the change in terrain

The correct answer was response a.Explanation: Their diet consists mainly of grass, though in colder climates its availability decreases, so blue sheep in these regions eat more shrubs and twigs.109. What do some researchers believe regarding the dwarf blue sheep?You chose:a. Natural environment is connected to their classification.(correct)b. Predators have an effect on their habitat loss.c. Genetic analysis proves they are the same species.d. Inferior specimens are definitely a subspecies.

The correct answer was response a.Explanation: Some researchers believe they are simply a lower-quality population of the blue sheep due to their less fertile habitat.110. What did the IUCN conclude about the dwarf blue sheep?a. They should be given the same protection as the blue sheep.You chose:b. The IUCN concurs with the findings of the genetic testing.(correct)c. Additional research is required regarding classification.d. It is doubtful that their population is in sharp decline.

The correct answer was response b.Explanation: Citing several studies concerning genetic testing, others argue that they are a separate subspecies. Regardless, the destruction of the dwarf blue sheeps natural habitat and over-hunting have resulted in a significant decrease in their population. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is convinced they should be in a separate category and have placed them on their list of threatened species.This passage describes a process of refrigeration.In gas refrigerators, a strong solution of ammonia in water is heated by a gas flame in a container called a generator, and the ammonia is driven off as vapor, which passes into a condenser. Changed to a liquid state in the condenser the ammonia flows to the evaporator. Instead of the gas being inducted into a compressor on exit from the evaporator, however, the ammonia gas is reabsorbed in the partially cooled, weak solution returning from the generator to form the strong ammonia solution. This process of reabsorption occurs in a container called the absorber, from which theenriched liquidflows back to the generator to complete the cycle.Absorption refrigeration is increasingly used in refrigeration units for comfort space cooling, for which purpose refrigerant temperatures of 45 to 50 F are suitable. In this temperature range, water can be used as a refrigerant, with an aqueous solution of a salt, usually lithium bromide, as the absorbent material. The water boils at a very low temperature in the evaporator because the pressure there is low. The cold vapor is absorbed in a concentrated salt solution. This solution is then pumped into the generator, where, at an elevated temperature, the surplus water is boiled off to increase the salt concentration of the solution; this solution, after cooling, circulates back to the absorber to complete the cycle. The system operates at high vacuum and the units are usually direct-fired or use steam generated in a boiler.Refrigerant-12 and the related CFCs, Refrigerant-11 and Refrigerant-22, were the major compounds used in the cooling and insulation systems of home refrigeration units. It has been found, however, that CFCs are posing a major threat to the global environment through their role in the destruction of the ozone layer. In accordance with the Montreal Protocol, the manufacture of CFCs ceased in the European Union by the end of 1994 and was scheduled to end in most other industrialized countries by the end of 2010. The refrigeration industry is fortunately switching rapidly to alternatives that do not deplete the ozone layer.111. What function does the gas flame perform?You chose:a. to convert ammonia to vapor(correct)b. to heat the compressorc. to condense ammonia into liquidd. to operate the generator

The correct answer was response a.Explanation: In gas refrigerators, a strong solution of ammonia in water is heated by a gas flame in a container called a generator, and the ammonia is driven off as vapor, which passes into a condenser.112. What happens to ammonia in a condenser?a. It is driven off as vapor.b. It is heated.You chose:c. It is liquified.(correct)d. It is induced into a compressor.

The correct answer was response c.Explanation: Changed to a liquid state in the condenser the ammonia flows to the evaporator.113. What does the enriched liquid refer to in paragraph one?a. pressurized gasYou chose:b. strong ammonia(correct)c. heated waterd. weak ammonia

The correct answer was response b.114. What happens to the water in the generator?a. It boils at very high temperature.b. It is highly pressurized.c. It reaches boiling point more quickly than normal.You chose:d. It becomes a concentrated salt solution.(correct)

The correct answer was response d.Explanation: This solution is then pumped into the generator, where, at an elevated temperature, the surplus water is boiled off to increase the salt concentration of the solution; this solution, after cooling, circulates back to the absorber to complete the cycle.115. According to the passage, what can be said of refrigerant gases?a. They are the major compounds now used in cooling systems.b. They are considered to be relatively harmless to the environment.You chose:c. They are no longer being produced in certain European countries.(correct)d. They are completely unrelated to the CFCs previously used.

The correct answer was response c.Explanation: In accordance with the Montreal Protocol, the manufacture of CFCs ceased in the European Union by the end of 1994 and was scheduled to end in most other industrialized countries by the end of 2010.This passage is about Futurism.At the beginning of the 20th century, an Italian art movement emerged which celebrated everything modern and denounced traditional values. The founding members of the Futurism movement intentionally provoked controversy. They advocated violent means to achieve the radical changes they proposed. These included the destruction of cultural institutions such as museums and libraries.The Italian poet Marinetti wrote the initial Futurism manifesto in 1909, and the following year several others were published by painters within the group. Futurism eventually encompassed every art medium, including architecture, music, and even cooking. All branches of Futurism were dedicated to exalting innovation and embraced modem technology. To the Futurists, the plane, the car, and even industrial machines were objects of beauty which symbolized the supremacy of man over nature.Futurist artists strove to capture the vitality and movement characteristic of the modem age. They used a similar technique to that of Cubism, another burgeoning art movement. Both painting styles aimed to combine several views of an object in one study, although the Futurists often overlapped the same view repeatedly.
