Read the following
passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word for each of the blanks.
Livestock farmers in developing countries
have a relatively small environmental footprint and their animals provide them
...(21)... food, income and transport for their crops, said Mario Herrero.
"What these farmers need are technological options and economic incentives that help them ...(22)...
their production in sustainable ways," he added.
Henning Stanfeld, coordinator of the Livestock,
Environment and Development Initiative at the Food and Agriculture
Organization, said: "If one were able to connect this to smallholder
development by making poor farmers benefit through the possibility of carbon
offsets and carbon markets ...(23)...
would indeed create a situation where one would have ...(24)...
benefits, targeting poor people, while reducing the carbon 'hoofprints' [the
carbon footprint of livestock]".
Improving livestock production should be
done to improve livelihoods and not just for climate reasons, Kirtana
Chandrasekaran, food campaigner for Friends of the Earth, told SciDev.Net.
She added that intensive agriculture is also contributing to biodiversity loss,
...(25)... "it's very dangerous" just to look at lowering emissions
"when there's a whole host of other factors affecting improvement in
livestock farming".

Read the following
passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
The
peregrine falcon, a predatory bird indigenous to North America, was once
in danger of extinction. In the 1960s, scientists discovered by-products of the pesticide DDT
in the birds’ eggs, which caused them to be too soft to survive. The use of the
pesticide had been banned
in the United States, but the falcons were eating migratory birds from other
places where DDT was still used. In order to increase the survival rate,
scientists were raising the bfrds in laboratories and then releasing them into
mountainous areas. This practice achieved only moderate success, however,
because many of the birds raised in captivity could not survive in the wild.
There
is now, however, a new alternative to releases in the wild. A falcon that has
been given the name Scarlett chose to make her home on a ledge of the 33rd
floor of a Baltimore, Maryland, office building rather than in the wild, and,
to the surprise of the scientists, she has managed to live quite well in the
city. Following this example, programs have been initiated that release birds
like Scarlett into cities rather than into thefr natural wild habitat. These
urban releases
are becoming a common way to strengthen the species. Urban homes have several
benefits for the birds that wild
spots do not. First, there is an abundance of pigeons and small birds as food
sources. The peregrine in the city is also protected from its main predator,
the great homed owl.
Urban
release programs have been very successful in reestablishing the peregrine
falcons along the East Coast. Although they are still an endangered species,
their numbers increased from about 60 nesting pairs in 1975 to about 700 pairs
in 1992. In another decade the species may flourish again, this time without
human help.
Question 35: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. releases into the
wild B.
harmful effects of pesticides
C. endangered
species D. survival of
peregrine falcons

following is NOT a reason why a falcon might choose to live in a city?
A. There are high
places to nest. B.
There are other falcons nearby.
C. There is a lack
of predators. D.
There is abundant food.
Question 38: According to the passage, where have the
release programs been the most successful?
A. in office buildings B. on the East Coast
C. in the wild D. in mountainous areas
Question 39: The word "that" as used in paragraph 2 refers to ______

Read the following
passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Many artists late in the last century were
in search of a means to express their individuality. Modern dance was one of
the ways some of the people sought to free their creative spirit. At the
beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from which to build.
In later years trial, error, and genius founded the techniques and the principles
of the movement. Eventually, innovators even drew from what they considered the
dread ballet, but first they
had to discard all that
was academic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of modern
dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to
bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed.
Her
search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement
should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the
sea, and should be in harmony with
the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.
First,
she began the expansion of the kinds of movements that could be used in dance.
Before Duncan danced, ballet was only type of dance performed in concert. In
the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity shown by
complicated, codified positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using
all her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from her soul and
spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able
to develop the art.
Her
second contribution lies in dance costume. She discarded corset, ballet shoes
and stiff costumes. These were replaced with flowing Grecian tunics, bare feet,
and unbound hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move
freely, and her dress displayed this ideal.
Her third contribution was in the use of
music. In her performances she used the symphonies of great masters, including
Beethoven and Wangner, which was not the usual custom. She was as
exciting and eccentric in her personal life as in her dance.
