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. 
Mr. Faugel was convinced that students’ nervousness had affected their scores; to reduce the anxiety of 
these students who had already been tested, he gave 22 of them a beta blocker before readministration of the 
test. Their scores improved significantly. The other 8 students (who did not receive the beta blockers) 
improved only slightly. Second-time test-takers nationwide had average improvements which were similar to 
those in Faugel's non-beta blocker group. 
Beta blockers are prescription drugs which have been around for 25 years. These medications, which 
interfere with the effects of adrenalin, have been used for heart conditions and for minor stress such as stage 
fright. Now they are used for test anxiety. These drugs seem to help test-takers who have low scores because 
of test fright, but not those who do not know the material. Since there can be side effects from these beta 
blockers, physicians are not ready to prescribe them routinely for all test-takers. 
7. The word “reduce” in paragraph 1 most nearly means . 
A. build up B. lessen C. increase D. maximize 
8. The word “interfere” in paragraph 2 most nearly means . 
A. prescribe B. aid C. help D. hinder 
9. Why are beta clockers not prescribed regularly? 
A. Students are expected to do poorly. B. They cause test anxiety. 
C. The drugs are only 25 years old. D. There are side effects.

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. 
Today I’d like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up the earth. First, we’ll touch on the 
relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably remember that the ozone layer is the 
protective shield around the earth. It is important to all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet light 
from the sun. Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly made by the action of the sun in the upper 
atmosphere. It is also regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes. 
The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists suspect that certain 
chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. And how do we use 
fluorocarbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from 
these fluorocarbons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported. There are, however, 
new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer. We’ll go into that new study more next 
time.

C. Destroying chemicals D. Providing fluorocarbons 
18. What does the word “depletion” in paragraph 2 probably mean? 
A. deletion B. deployment C. departure D. destruction 
19. What is the ozone layer made of? 
A. Oxygen B. Shields C. Ultraviolet light D. Fluorocarbons 
20. The speaker’s main topic is . 
A. air-conditioning systems B. fluorocarbons and the ozone layer 
C. ultraviolet light D. the use of spray cans 
21. What will the speaker probably discuss next?
