V. READING COMPREHENSION (10pts)
1. Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct. What
causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a change environment, it may perish. The
exact causes of a species’ death vary from situation to situation. Rapid ecological change may render
an environment hostile to a species. For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be
adapt. Food resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for
a species requiring these resources. Other species may become better adapted to an environment,
resulting in competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species.
The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth. Recent
analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time - a
mass extinction. One of the best - known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago
with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life. Perhaps the largest mass extinction was
the one that occurred 225 million years ago, when approximately 95 percent of all species died. Mass
extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the
close interrelationship of many species. If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of
the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affection even organisms
not living in the oceans. Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction.
One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years
have tended to be more intense every 26 million years. The periodic extinction might be due to
intersection of the earth’s orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative. Some
researchers have also speculated that extinction may often be random. That is, certain species may be
eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason. A species’ survival may have nothing to
do with its ability or inability to adapt. If so, some of revolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events.
1. What does the author say in paragraph 1 regarding most species in Earth’s history?
A. They have been able to adapt to ecological changes.
B. They have caused rapid change in the environment .
C. They have remained basically unchanged from their original forms
D. They are no longer in existence.
2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as resulting from rapid ecological change?
A. Availability of food resources
B. Introduction of new species C. Temperature changes D. Competition among species
3. Why is “ plankton” mentioned in the second paragraph?
A. To emphasize the importance of food resources in preventing mass extinction
B. To illustrate a comparison between organisms that live on the land and those that live in the ocean
C. To point out that certain species could never become extinct
D. To demonstrate the interdependence of different species
4. According to paragraph 2, evidence from fossils suggests that …………….
A. There has been only one mass extinction in Earth’s history.
B. Extinction of species has occurred from time to time throughout Earth’s history.
C. Extinctions on Earth have generally been massive.
D. Dinosaurs became extinct much earlier than scientists originally believed.
5. Which of the following can be inferred from the theory of periodic extinction mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. The theory is no longer seriously considered.
B. Most scientists believe the theory to be accurate.
C. Many scientists could be expected to disagree with it.
D. Evidence to support the theory has recently been found. KEYS: 1. D 2. B 3. D 4. B 5. C
2. Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
As customers choose brands based on how they make them feel, rather than their actual products or
services, there is an intrinsic advantage to those organizations who use designed experiences as a
weapon to cut through the most competitive of markets. Those that don’t, operate in what we call the
“experience gap”, the space between them and their customer’s expectation of them. Make no mistake,
in our high paced and digitally connected economies, the experience gap is driving markets, fast.
For example, take Instagram and Twitter. These brands filled the demand for a whole new human
experience that did not exist before the evolution of digital technologies enabled that. They were
pioneers, and there were no established players to unseat. But we are also seeing a similar dynamic in
existing industries. New entrants are coming in and taking the space, also using whole new
experiences, purely because the incumbents left the door open.
Closer to home, this can be seen with Australian neobanks who are giving customers a better
experience than the incumbents. Robert Bell is the CEO at neobank 86400. He says banking has
already become quite complicated and he wanted to make a change. His neobank is working to solve
customers problems more holistically. Bell said, “It’s significantly harder work and takes more time to
become a bank, but having done that we can have a much better relationship with our customers and
we can offer them a lot more products and services.”
Think about that for a moment. Do you notice how better experiences, leads to better relationships,
which is then the stepping stone for more offerings? Many brands still jump straight to modified
offerings, without gaining that customer connection and the necessary foundation of trust first.

3. Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased. The
frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities.
Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon
credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility.
Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society.
The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the
century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling. By 1920
schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly
lengthened. Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and
counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the
larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored
by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies.
Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the
needs of specific populations. Immigrant women were once such population. Schools tried to educate
young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place
many educators considered appropriate for women was the home.
Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American
education gave homemaking a new definition. In pre-industrial economies, homemaking had meant the
production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing
activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United
States, however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal
American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be
consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their
own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others. Subsequent
reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date.
1. The paragraph preceding the passage probably discusses _____.
A. the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the 19th century
B. the formal schooling in the United States in the nineteen century.
C. the urbanization in the United States in the nineteen century.
D. the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society in the nineteen century.
2. It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing importance of
education in the United States was _____.
A. the expanding economic problems of schools
B. the growing number of schools in frontier communities
C. an increase in the number of trained teachers
D. the increased urbanization of the entire country
3. The word "means" in line 5 is closest in meaning to _____. A. qualifications B. method C. advantages D. probability
4. The phrase "coincided with" in line 7 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. happened at the same time as B. ensured the success of C. was influenced by D. began to grow rapidly
5. According to the passage, one important change in United States education by the 1920's was that _____.
