( ID: 92582 ) Read the following passage and mark the letter on your answer sheet to indicate the correct 
word for each blank. 
We are descendents of the ice age. Periods of glaciation have spanned the whole of human existence 
for the past 2 million years. The rapid melting of the continental glaciers at the end of the last ice age spurred 
one of the most dramatic climate changes in the history of the planet. During this interglacial time, people 
were caught up in a cataclysm of human accomplishment, including the development of agriculture and 
animal husbandry. Over the past few thousand years, the Earth’s climate has been extraordinarily beneficial, 
and humans have prospered exceedingly well under a benign atmosphere. 
Ice ages have dramatically affected life on Earth almost from the very beginning. It is even possible 
that life itself significantly changed the climate. All living organisms pull carbon dioxide out of the 
atmosphere and eventually store it in sedimentary rocks within the Earth’s crust. If too much carbon dioxide is 
lost, too much heat escapes out into the atmosphere. This can cause the Earth to cool enough for glacial ice to 
spread across the land. 
In general the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been equalized by the 
input of carbon dioxide from such events as volcanic eruptions. Man, however, is upsetting the equation by 
burning fossil fuels and destroying tropical rain forests, both of which release stored carbon dioxide. This 
energizes the greenhouse effect and causes the Earth to warm. If the warming is significant enough, the polar 
ice caps eventually melt. 
The polar ice caps drive the atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems. Should the ice caps melt, 
warm tropical waters could circle the globe and make this a very warm, inhospitable planet. 
Over the past century, the global sea level has apparently risen upwards of 6 inches, mainly because of 
the melting of glacial ice. If present warming trends continue, the seas could rise as much as 6 feet by the next 
century. This could flood coastal cities and fertile river deltas, where half the human population lives. Delicate 
wetlands, where many marine species breed, also would be reclaimed by the sea. In addition, more frequent 
and severe storms would batter coastal areas, adding to the disaster of the higher seas. 
The continued melting of the great ice sheets in polar regions could cause massive amounts of ice to 
crash into the ocean. This would further raise the sea level and release more ice, which could more than double 
the area of sea ice and increase correspondingly the amount of sunlight reflected back into space. The cycle 
would then be complete as this could cause global temperatures to drop enough to initiate another ice age. 
Question 16. According to the passage, carbon dioxide is stored in each of the following EXCEPT 
A. polar ice caps. B. sedimentary rocks. C. rain forests. D. fossil 
fuel. 
Question 17. What does the final paragraph of the passage mainly discuss? 
A. The relationship between the ocean and the sun 
B. The amount of sunlight reflected into space 
C. A rise in global temperatures 
D. The conditions that could lead to an ice age 
Question 18. Which of the following does the author NOT mention as a consequence of a large rise in global 
sea level? 
A. The destruction of wetlands B. The flooding of cities 
C. A more diverse marine population D. Severe storms 
Question 19. According to the passage, what is the relationship between carbon dioxide and the Earth’s 
climate? 
A. Carbon dioxide, which is trapped in glacial ice, is released when warm temperatures cause the ice melt. 
B. The greenhouse effect, which leads to the warming of the climate, is result of too much carbon stored in the 
Earth’s crust.

C. Rain causes carbon dioxide to be washed out of the atmosphere and into the ocean. 
D. An increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide results in the warming of the climate.

( ID: 92605 ) Read the following passage and mark the letter on your answer sheet to indicate the correct 
answer 
 Before photography was invented in 1839, painted portraits, and engravings based on them, 
were one of the few ways to record likenesses. From the Colonial era through the 1820s, portraiture was the 
most widely practiced genre of American art, and it continued to be a significant form through the 19th 
century. The demand for likenesses was incessant, and portraiture was often the primary source of income for 
artists. Artists frequently made portraits of famous people to attract interest and potential patrons. For 
example, in 1834 Chester Harding painted frontiersman Davy Crockett, then a member of the U.S. House of 
Representatives, for display in his Boston gallery. 
 A consistent belief through most of the 18th and 19th centuries was that character could be read from 
a person's face, or the bumps on his or her head, or from facial expressions, and that portraits should convey 
these indicators of character. These theories of physiognomy and phrenology have since been debunked, but 
they were important considerations in depicting the nation's leaders, since such portraits were often made for 
posterity. Most people had only one portrait painted in their lifetime, if at all, so artists were selected with 
great care, and expectations were high. 
 Before the 1840s, American portraiture was influenced primarily by English techniques, poses, 
compositions and gestures, and many artists received at least part of their training in England. Even canvas 
sizes followed the British example. Portraits made on commission were priced according to canvas size and 
the materials and labor involved. 
 In the late 19th century as European portraitists began traveling to the United States to acquire 
commissions from the growing upper class, American artists increasingly felt they needed to train abroad in 
order to succeed at home. Paris continued to be the main lure. as painters such as Eakins, Whistler, Beaux and 
Sargent went to study there. Some of America's best-known portraitists, in fact, became expatriates.
