Read the following text and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger to the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone – a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the context changes. These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in either direction.
Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret from members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as trail pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working with the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant Atta texana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to lead a column of ants three times around Earth.
The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects this signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one and then the other antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in the vapor space.
The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the trail.

     A. message                    B. food trail                  C. dead ant                   D. species
Question 26: According to the passage, why do ants use different compounds a trail pheromones?
     A. To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals
     B. To indicate how far away the food is
     C. To attract different types of ants
     D. To protect their trail from other species

Read the following passage and mark A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions
Coincident with concerns about the accelerating loss of species and habitats has been a growing appreciation of the importance of biological diversity, the number of species in a particular ecosystem, to the health of the Earth and human well-being. Much has been written about the diversity of terrestrial organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich life associated tropical rain-forest habitats. Relatively little has been said, however, about diversity of life in the sea even though coral reef systems are comparable to rain forests in terms of richness of life.
 An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet's dominants - most distinctive feature - the ocean. Humans have a bias toward land that sometimes get in the way of truly examining global issues. Seen from far away, it is easy to realize landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth’s surface. Given that two thirds of the Earth's surface is water and that marine life lives at all levels of the ocean, the total three-dimensional living space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and contains more than 90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct species.
 The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world's rain forests doesn't seem surprising, considering the huge numbers of insects that comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist found many different species of ants in just one tree from a rain forest. While every species is different from every other species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be insects and to share similar characteristics with 750,000 species of insects. If basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasis than differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is unquestionably by sea. Nearly every major type of plant and animal has some presentation there.
 To appreciate fully the diversity and abundance of life in the sea, it helps to think small. Every spoonful of ocean water life, on the order of 100 to 100,000 bacteria cells plus assorted microscopic plants and animals, including larvae of organisms ranging from sponges and corals to starfish and clams and much more.
Question 41: What is the main point of the passage?
     A. The sea is even richer in life than the rain forest
     B. Humans are destroying thousands of species.
     C. Coral reefs are similar to rain forests.
     D. There are thousands of insect species.
Question 42: The word “appreciation” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
     A. forgiveness               B. ignorance                  C. tolerance                   D. recognition
Question 43: Why does the author compare rain forests and coral reefs in paragraph 1? Most of their inhabitants require water.
     A. They are approximately the same size.          B. They share many similar species.
     C. Most of their inhabitants require water.        D. Both have many different forms of life.
Question 44: The passage suggests that most rain forest species are
     A. bacteria                    B. birds                         C. insects                      D. mammals
Question 45: The word “there” in paragraph 3 refer to
     A. the rain forests         B. the sea                      C. the Earth's surface    D. a tree
Question 46: The author argues that there is more diversity of life in the sea than in the rain forests because
     A. more phyla and classes of life are represented in the sea
     B. many insect species are too small to divide into categories
     C. there are too many insects to make meaningful distinctions
     D. marine life-forms reproduce at a faster rate
Question 47: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an example of microscopic sea life?
     A. Coral                        B. Shrimp                      C. Sponges                    D. Starfish
Question 48: Which of the following conclusions is supported by the passage?
     A. Ocean life is highly adaptive.
     B. Ocean life is primarily composed of plants.
     C. More attention needs to be paid to preserving ocean species and habitats.
     D. The sea is highly resistant to the damage done by pollutants.
