6. V. READING COMPREHENSION Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question. READING PASSAGE 1 (5 PTS) While most desert animals will drink water if confronted with it, for many of them the opportunity never comes. Yet all living things must have water, or they will expire. The herbivores find it in desert plants. The carnivores slave their thirst with the flesh and blood of living prey. One of the most remarkable adjustments, however, has been made by the tiny kangaroo rat, who not only lives without drinking but subsists on a diet of dry seeds containing about 5% free water. Like other animals, he has the ability to manufacture water in his body by a metabolic conversion of carbohydrates. But he is notable for the parsimony with which he conserves his small supply by every possible means, expending only minuscule amounts in his excreta and through evaporation from his respiratory tract. Investigation into how the kangaroo rat can live without drinking water has involved various experiments with these small animals. Could kangaroo rats somehow store water in their bodies and slowly utilize these resources in the long periods when no free water is available from dew or rain? The simplest way to settle this question was to determine the total water content in the animals to see if it decreases as they are kept for long periods on a dry diet. If they slowly use up their water, the body should become increasingly dehydrated, and if they begin with a store of water, this should be evident from an initial high water content. Results of such experiments with kangaroo rats on dry diets for more than 7 weeks showed that the rats maintained their body weight. There was no trend toward a decrease in water content during the long period of water deprivation. When the kangaroo rats were given free access to water, they did not drink water. They did nibble on small pieces of watermelon, but this did not change appreciably the water content in their bodies, which remained at 66.3% to 67.2% during this period. This is very close to the water content of dry-fed animals (66.5%), and the availability of free water, therefore, did not lead to any ‘storage’ that could be meaningful as a water reserve. This makes it reasonable to conclude that physiological storage of water is not a factor in the kangaroo rat’s ability to live on dry food. 1. What is the topic of this passage? A. Kangaroo rats. B. Water in the desert. C. Desert life. D. Physiological experiments. 2. The word ‘expire’ in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ___. A. become ill B. die C. shrink D. dehydrate 3.

8. READING PASSAGE 2 (5 PTS) The end of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th century were marked by the development of an international Art Nouveau style, characterized by sinuous lines, floral and vegetable motifs, and soft evanescent coloration. The Art Nouveau style was an eclectic one, bringing together elements of Japanese art, motifs of ancient cultures, and natural forms. The glass objects of this style were elegant in outline, although often deliberated distorted, with pale or iridescent surfaces. A favored device of the style was to imitate the iridescent surface seen on ancient glass that had been buried. Much of the Art Nouveau glass produced during the years of its greatest popularity had been generically termed ‘art glass’. Art glass was intended for decorative purposes and relied for its effect on carefully chosen color combinations and innovative techniques. Trance produced a number of outstanding exponents of the Art Nouveau style; among the most celebrated was Emile Galle (1846-1904). In the United States, Louis Comfort Tiffany (1843-1933) was the most noted exponent of this style, producing a great variety of glass forms and surfaces, which were widely copied in their time and are highly prized today. Tiffany was a brilliant designer, successfully combining ancient Egyptian, Japanese, and Persian motifs. The Art Nouveau style was a major force in the decorative arts from 1895 to 1915, although its influence continued throughout the mid-1920s. It was eventually to be overtaken by a new school of thought known as Functionalism that had been present since the beginning of the 20th century. At first restricted to a small avant-garde group of architects and designers, Functionalism emerged as the dominant influence upon designers after the First World War. The basic tenet of the movement that function should determine form - was not a new concept. Soon a distinct aesthetic code evolved: form should be simple, surfaces plain, and any ornament should be based on geometric relationships. This new design concept, coupled with the sharp postwar reactions to the styles and conventions of the preceding decades, created an entirely new public taste which caused Art Nouveau types of glass to fall out of favor. The new taste demanded dramatic effects of contrasts, stark outline and complex textural surfaces. 1. Paragraph 1 of the passage mainly discusses ___. A. design elements in the Art Nouveau style B. the popularity of the Art Nouveau style C. production techniques for art glass D. color combinations typical of the Art Nouveau style 2. The word ‘one’ in paragraph 1 refers to ___. A. century B. development C. style D. coloration 3. Paragraph 1 mentions that Art Nouveau glass was sometimes similar to ___ of ancient buried glass. A. the distortion of the glass B. the appearance of the glass surface C. the shapes of the glass objects D. the size of the glass objects 4. The main purpose of paragraph 2 is to ___. A. compare different Art Nouveau styles B. give examples of famous Art Nouveau artists C. explain why Art Nouveau glass was so popular in the United States D. show the impact Art Nouveau had on other cultures around the world 5. The word ‘prized’ in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___. A. valued B. universal C. uncommon D. preserved
9. 6. The word ‘overtaken’ in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___. A. surpassed B. inclined C. expressed D. applied 7. By stating that ‘function should determine form’ the author means that ___. A. a useful object should not be attractive B. the purpose of an object should influence its form C. the design of an object is considered more significant than its function D. the form of an object should not include decorative elements 8. It can be inferred from the passage that one reason functionalism became popular was that it ___. A. clearly distinguished between art and design B. appealed to people who like complex painted designs C. reflected a common desire to break from the past D. was easily interpreted by the general public 9. Paragraph 3 supports the idea that ___. A. functionalism's design concept avoided geometric shapes B. functionalism started on a small scale and then spread gradually C. Functionalism was a major force in the decorative arts before the First World War D. Functionalism was not attractive to architects and designers 10. According to the passage, an object made in the Art Nouveau style would most likely include ___. A. a flowered design B. bright colors C. modern symbols D. a textured surface KEY TO READING PASSAGE 2: 1. B 2. C 3. B 4. B 5. A 6. A 7. B 8. C 9. B 10. A

(10 PTS) OAK (1) Oak wood has a density of about 0.75 g/cm3, great strong and hardness, and is very resistant to insect and fungal attack because of its high tannin content. It also has very appeal grain markings, particularly when quarter-sawn. Oak planking was common on high status Viking long ships in the 9th and 10th centuries. The wood was hewn from (5) green logs, with axe and wedge, to produce radial planks, similar to quarter-sawn timber. Wide, quarter-sawn boards of oak have been prized since the Middle Ages for use in interior paneling off prestigious buildings such as the debating chamber of the House of Commons in London, and in the construction of fine furniture. Oak wood, from Quercus robur and Quercus petraea, was used in Europe for the construction of (10) ships, especial naval men of war, until the 19th century, and was the principal timber used in the construction of European timber-framed build. Today oak wood is still commonly used for furniture making and flooring, timber frame buildings, and for veneer production. Barrels in which wines, sherry, and spirits such as brandy, Scotch whisky and Bourbon whiskey are age are made from European (15) and American oak. The use of oak in wine can add many different dimensions to wine based on the type and style of the oak. Oak barrels, which may be charred before use, contribute to the colour, taste, and aroma of the contents, imparting a desirable oaky vanillin flavour to these drinks. The great dilemma for wine product is to choose between French and American oakwoods. French oaks give the wine greater (20) refinement and are chosen for the best wines since they increase the price compared to those aged in American oak wood. American oak contributes greater texture and resist to ageing, but produces more violent wine bouquets. Oak wood chips are used for smoking fish, meat, cheeses and another foods. 1.
