National parks play a highly valuable role in documenting climate change. Researchers have utilized the vast tracts of pristine wilderness to collect data on species and habitats. At first, they collected observational data on foot; now, they use sophisticated methods such as aerial surveillance with drones like those used in Northrop Grumman’s Wildlife Challenge to collect information on polar bears. Observational longitudinal data collection shows the effects of climate change that impact vegetation and animal species. The pika is the perfect example of an animal which may need to be relocated from the parks due to climate change, as described in Smithsonian Magazine. The park service is taking this very seriously. “It is openly discussing the possibility of “assisted migration”: manually relocating some animals and plants if it turns out they can’t survive within the park’s changing landscapes.” National park research also documents glacier retreat, finding that some ice fields have lost as much as 85 percent in the last five decades, according to U.S. Geological Survey. Glacier Park might be recognizable only as a historical name by 2030, it projects. It’s not just glaciers retreating. The Conversation notes that national park data shows that trees are also affected by climate change: “Climate change is killing trees due to increased drought, changes in wildfire patterns and increased bark beetle infestations. Tracking of trees in national parks has contributed to a database that revealed how climate change has doubled tree mortality since 1955 across the western United States.” We should not forget that at its inception, the National Parks Service’s long-term intention was to protect the parks and “leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” (Source: Question 31. Which best serves as the title for the passage? A. The importance of national parks is more than for scenery. B. Consider modernizing and privatizing national parks. C. The implications of climate change for biodiversity conservation. D. The importance of research and science for the national parks. Question 32. According to paragraph 3, in what way does climate change affect trees? A. It makes trees experience longer growing seasons. B. It increases death rates of trees through disturbances. C. It creates a negative change of wood density. D. It causes lumber from trees to be less durable. Question 33. The word “inception” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ___. A. debut B. genesis C. conclusion D. establishment Question 34. The word “which” in paragraph 2 refers to ___. A. vegetation B. animal C. species D. climate change Question 35. According to paragraph 1, what do NOT scientists capitalize on when keeping record of climate change?
3. A. Aerial tracking through the use of drones. B. Observation information gathered when walking. C. Reports of jungles turning into residential areas. D. Data on areas of unspoiled hinterland. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the answer to each of the question. The sculptural legacy that the new United States inherited from its colonial predecessors was far from a rich one, and in fact, in 1776 sculpture as an art form was still in the hand of artisans and craftspeople. Stone carvers engraved their motifs of skulls and crossbones and other religious icons of death into the gray slabs that we still see standing today in old burial grounds. Some skilled craftspeople made intricately carved wooden ornamentations for furniture or architectural decorations, while others carved wooden shop signs and ships' figureheads. Although they often achieved expression and formal excellence in their generally primitive style, they remained artisans skilled in the craft of carving and constituted a group distinct from what we normally think of as "sculptors" in today's use of the word. On the rare occasion when a fine piece of sculpture was desired, Americans turned to foreign sculptors, as in the 1770's when the cities of New York and Charleston, South Carolina, commissioned the Englishman Joseph Wilton to make marble statues of William Pitt. Wilton also made a lead equestrian image of King George III that was created in New York in 1770 and torn down by zealous patriots six years later. A few marble memorials with carved busts, urns, or other decorations were produced in England and brought to the colonies to be set in the walls of churches - as in King's Chapel in Boston. But sculpture as a high art, practiced by artists who knew both the artistic theory of their Renaissance- Baroque-Rococo predecessors and the various technical procedures of modeling, casting, and carving rich three- dimensional forms, was not known among Americans in 1776. Indeed, for many years thereafter, the United States had two groups from which to choose - either the local craftspeople or the imported talent of European sculptors.The eighteenth century was not one in which powered sculptural conceptions were developed. Add to this the timidity with which unschooled artisans originally trained as stonemasons, carpenters, or cabinetmakers - attacked the medium from which they sculpture made in the United States in the late eighteenth century. (Source: Question 36: What is the main idea of the passage? A. There was a great demand for the work of eighteenth-century artisans. B. American sculptors were hampered by a lack of tools and materials. C. Skilled sculptors did not exist in the US in the 1770’s. D. Many foreign sculptors worked in the US after 1776. Question 37: It is stated in the first paragraph that the sculptural legacy that the new United States had from colonial times was ___. A. not great B. plentiful C. very richD. not countable Question 38: The phrase “turned to” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___. A. castigated B.
