Chess must be of the oldest games in the world An Arab traveller in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played “long, long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's King, he says, in English, “Check", when the King has been caught and cannot move anywhere he says “Check mate”. These words come from Persian. “Shah mat” means "the king is dead”, that is when the game is over and one player has won. 
Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece or the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don’t have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.
 Which of the following is known to be true?
Chess is an old Indian traveling game.
Chess is the oldest game in the world.
Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400.
Chess was played in India long before 900.
 One player has won the game when ___________.
he attacks the other player's King
he says some Persian words
the other player's King cannot move anywhere
he says “check” to the other player
 According to the old rules of the game _____________.
the queen was the attacker all the time
the King had to be attacked at the time
the queen could move no more than one square at a time
the king could not move anywhere
 Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game?
“Shah mat”
"check”
"the King is dead”
"check mate”
 Which of the following is NOT correct?
 All kinds of people can play chess.
Only two people can play chess sitting at the same table.
Some people write each other playing chess.
The Russians lost the game played by radio.

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 from 53 to 62.
A useful definition of an air pollutant is a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled – a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.
Many of the more important are pollutants, such as sulfur dioxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature is output of these compounds dwarfs resulting from human activities. However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city.
In this localized region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentrations need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.
What does the passage mainly discuss?
The economic impact of air pollution
What constitutes and air pollutants.
How much harm air pollutants can cause.
The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere.
The word ‘adversely’ in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to:
negatively
quickly
admittedly
considerably
It can be inferred from the first paragraph that 
water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas.
most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled.
the definition of air pollution will continue to change.
a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities.
The word ‘altered’ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to
eliminated
caused
alternated
modified
Natural pollutants can play an important role in controlling air pollution for which of the following reasons?
They function as part of a purification process.
They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.
They are less harmful to living beings than are other pollutants.
They have existed since the Earth developed.
According to the passage, which of the following is true about human generated air pollution in localized regions?
It can be dwarfed by nature’s output of pollutants in the localized region.
It can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants.
It will damage areas outside of the localized regions.
It will react harmfully with naturally occurring pollutants.
The word ‘noxious’ in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to
harmful
noticeable
extensive
weak
According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if __________
the other substances in the area are known.
it is in a localized area.
the naturally occurring level is also known.
it can be calculated quickly.
The word “detectable” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _________. 
beneficial
special
measurable
separable
Which of the following is best supported by the passage?
To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly review their air pollution laws.
One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution laws.
Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants.
Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution.
