Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
A number of forces threaten the survival of coral reef organisms, as well as the structural integrity of
the reefs themselves. Many coral reefs are troubled by predatory species, bleaching, and the effects of
various human activities. [A]
Certain biological factors, such as the fish and invertebrates that feed on the soft tissues of reef
builders and the organisms that bore into coral rocks, may contribute to the destruction of coral reefs.
One of the most destructive creatures known is Acanthaster planci, the crown-of-thorns starfish, which
during the 1960s multiplied spectacularly and removed the soft tissues from large areas of many reefs
in the southwestern Pacific. Acanthaster planci feeds by everting its stomach and liquefying and
absorbing the tissues of the corals. By the late 1970s, it had become apparent, however, that the
sudden spread of Acanthaster planci was part of the organism’s natural life cycle and that the coral
reefs could regenerate rapidly after such an infestation. [B]
A phenomenon known as bleaching also caused extensive devastation among coral reefs in the east
Pacific since the early 1980s and in the Caribbean since the mid-to-late 1980s. It is called bleaching
because zooxanthellae (which are golden-brown in colour) are expelled, leaving the white coral
exposed. While the cause of bleaching is not yet fully known and extensive research is under way, it is
believed that the most likely factor is unusually high seawater temperatures, approximately 30°C. [C]
A living coral reef may have economic potential as a major tourist attraction. By touching corals and
disturbing the other animals that live there, visitors to the reef may interfere with the community
dynamics of the reef system. Since coral reefs harbour many species of fishes and other sea life, local
and commercial fishing can overharvest them. In their attempts to capture the animals of the reef,
fishers may resort to using dragnets and explosives. [D] Some coral reefs may be cloaked by excess
sedimentation from terrestrial erosion. “Smothering,” as this is called, may prevent reef plants from
obtaining adequate sunlight or may promote the growth of harmful algal blooms.
Question 20 (Question ID: 13-940834)
What best paraphrases the sentence: “Many coral reefs are troubled by predatory species,
bleaching, and the effects of various human activities.”?
A. Natural predators, bleaching, and human activities are responsible for the extinction of coral
reefs.
B. Coral reefs decline is mainly attributed to natural predators, bleaching, and human activities. C.
Many coral reefs are struggling with natural predators, bleaching, and human activities. D. Natural
predatory species, bleaching, and human activities cause diseases to many coral reefs. Question
21 (Question ID: 13-940835)
According to paragraph 2, which factor may destroy coral reefs?
A. Coral rocks
B. Reef builders
C. Organisms
D. Invertebrates

Read and choose the correct answer.
New fashions and styles appear in all societies. First, we must understand the difference between
fashion and style and how the changes in fashion and style happen for different reasons. The former
are driven by insiders to prevent others from copying the insiders’ style. The latter are created by
outsiders trying to invent alternative styles to the mainstream; the style of most people in a society.
In order to succeed, a new style needs to completely reject one of the main indicators of the
mainstream style. This rejection means that most people will not accept or choose the new style, and it
also means that it is rarely driven by big business.
Let us identify the main factor that shapes a particular style before returning to the topic of fashion.
Many suggest that style is the main visible or outward component of group identity. However, research
reveals that it goes deeper than that. Most studies conclude, and it is also my view, that style is the
expression of certain underlying principles and viewpoints. People decide to adopt a style only after
careful thought. It is unlike buying a new coat to get a new look. Moreover, a new
style does not necessarily involve showing wealth or class.
Turning to nature, we all know that the male peacock bird displays his beautiful tail to attract a female.
For a male peacock, having a long, shiny tail shows strength and energy. Therefore, the strongest male
peacocks have a better chance of attracting a mate than weaker males. In humans, in extreme cases,
some people spend an unreasonable amount of time grooming themselves and may even do without
more essential items in order to be fashionable.
Humans differ from animals in their ability to deceive. Almost as soon as a new garment by a top
designer appears on the catwalk, fakes turn up on market stalls. The original is out of financial reach
of the majority. And so, copies are born. Some are so true to the original that they may be mistaken for
the genuine article even by dedicated followers of fashion. Those who knowingly buy fakes rarely
concern themselves with the reaction of those who purchase the original article. The fake, in fact,
carries with it so much of the image of the original that it becomes attractive in itself.
Another interesting phenomenon is what is called ‘counter-signalling’. We can divide society into
three groups: high, middle, and low. The middle group can easily imitate the fashion of the high group,
so the middle group can be confused with the high group, to the detriment of the high group. Counter-
signalling occurs when the high group imitates the fashion of the low group. However, if the middle
group imitates the low group, they take the risk of being confused with the lower one. A typical
example of counter-signalling is wearing jeans. Eventually, wearing jeans became popular with
everyone. This partly explains why fashion goes in cycles.
The concept of changes in fashion relates to a much wider sphere than just clothes. It is evident in the
evolution of language. What once was considered slang may become an accepted phrase.
Interestingly, music plays an important role in the development of fashion. It brings people together at
festivals and people can see how others dress and speak. In other words, it provides a chance for
people to be influenced by others. I do not argue that music alone creates a new fashion. But music,
dress, and speech all work together to spread new ideas and trends.
