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 36 to 42.
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently. 
Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages.
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage in communication. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. Without an exchange of ideas, interaction comes to a halt. As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods must be based upon speech. To radio, television, and the telephone, one must add fax, paging systems, electronic mail, and the Internet, and no one doubts but that there are more means of communication on the horizon.
Question 36: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
	A. Gestures	B. Signs and signals	C. Speech	D. Communication
Question 37: According to this passage, what is a signal?
	A. A form of communication that interrupts the environment.
	B. The most difficult form of communication to describe.
	C. A form of communication which may be used across long distances.
	D. The form of communication most related to cultural perception.
Question 38: The word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to ____________.
	A. way	B. environment	C. function	D. signal
Question 39: The word “intricate” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by ___________.
	A. inefficient	B. complicated	C. historical	D. uncertain
Question 40: Applauding was cited as an example of ____________.
	A. a signal	B. a sign	C. a gesture 	D. a symbol
Question 41: Why were the telephone, radio, and television invented?
	A. Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols.
	B. Because people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete.
	C. Because people wanted to communicate across long distances.
	D. Because people wanted new forms of communication. 
Question 42: It may be concluded from this passage that ____________. 
	A. Only some cultures have signs, signals, and symbols.
	B. Signs, signals, symbols, and gestures are forms of communication. 
	C. Symbols are very easy to define and interrupt.
	D. Waving and handshaking are not related to culture.
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 43 to 50.
Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects - an estimated 90 percent of the world’s species have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general public Hence they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation issues such as diversity
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century IS the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions. For example in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found on the British islands did not exceed 66 and the whole of Europe supported only 321. This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal and plant groups. However for butterflies variation of species richness within temperate or tropical regions, rather than between them, is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal communication" citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase.
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make up the preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized.
A. locate	B. allow	C. go beyond	D. come close to
Question 46: Which of the following is NOT well understood by biologists?
European butterfly habitats
Differences in species richness between temperate and tropical regions
C. Differences in species richness within a temperate or a tropical region
D. Comparisons of behavior patterns	of butterflies and 	certain animal groups
Question 47: All of the followings are mentioned as being important parts of a general theory of diversity EXCEPT ______ .
differences between temperate and tropical zones
patterns of distribution of species in each region 
migration among temperate and tropical zones
D. variation of patterns of distribution of species among different animals and plants 
Question 48: Which aspect of butterflies does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Their physical characteristics	B. Their adaptation to different habitats
C. Their names	D. Their variety
Question 49: The author mentions tropical Asia as an example of a location where ______________.
butterfly behavior varies with climate
a general theory of butterfly diversity has not yet been firmly established 
butterflies are affected by human populations
D. documenting plant species is more difficult than documenting butterfly species
Question 50: The idea "little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution" is that _______.
A. there are many other things that we don't know about butterfly evenness distribution
 B. we don't know anything about butterfly evenness distribution 
C. we know much about butterfly evenness distribution 
 D. we know about butterfly evenness distribution to some extent
