Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of 
the following questions. 
Of all modern instruments, the violin is apparently one of the simplest. It consist in essence of a 
hollow, varnished wooden sound box, or resonator, and a long neck covered with a fingerboard, along which 
four strings are stretched at high tension. The beauty of design, shape, and decoration is no accident, the 
proportions of the instrument are determined entirely by acoustical considerations. Its simplicity of 
appearance is deceptive. About 70 parts are involved in the construction of a violin. Its tone and its 
outstanding range of expressiveness make it an ideal solo instrument. No less important, however, is its role 
as an orchestral and chamber instrument In I combination with the larger and deeper-sounding members of 
the same family, the violins form the nucleus of the modem symphony orchestra. 
The violin has been in existence since about 1550. Its importance as an instrument in its own right dates 
from the early 1600‟s, when it first became standard in Italian opera orchestras. Its stature as an orchestral 
instrument was raised further when in 1626 Louis XIII of France established at his court the orchestra known 
as Les vinq-quatre violons du Roy (The King's 24 Violins), which was to become widely famous later in the 
century. 
In its early history, the violin had a dull and rather quiet tone resulting from the fact that the strings were 
thick and were attached to the body of the instrument very loosely. During the eighteenth and nineteenth 
century exciting technical changes were inspired by such composer-violinists as Vivaldi and Tartini. Theừ 
instrumental compositions demanded a fuller, clearer, and more brilliant tone that was produced by using 
thinner strings and a far higher string tension. Small changes had to be made to the violin's internal structure 
and to the fingerboard so that they could withstand the extra strain. Accordingly, a higher standard of 
performance was achieved, in terms of both facility and interpretation. Left-hand technique was considerably 
elaborated, and new fingering patterns on the fingerboard were developed for very high notes. 
Question 31: The word "standard" is closest in meaning to _____________ . 
A. practical B. customary C. possible D. unusual 
Question 32: "The King’s 24 Violins" is mentioned to illustrate _____________ .

B. The violin has been modified to fit its evolving musical functions.

D. The technique of playing the violin has remained essentially the same since the 1600's. 
Question 34: The word "they" in paragraph 3 refers to __________ . 
A. Civaldi and Tartini B. internal structure and fingerboard 
C. thinner strings and a higher string tension D. small changes

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word(s) for each of 
the following blanks. 
Pollutants are clogging up the atmosphere above our planet and trapping the sun's heat. That makes our 
planet warmer, which causes glaciers to melt, crazy weather patterns to develop, and natural disasters spread

But there are other consequences that people don't always associate with climate change. One surprising 
fact about global warming is that it makes people more aggressive. 
As the world gets hotter, tempers also get fierier. A new study found that violent crimes and even war 
become more likely as temperatures rise. Heart rates tend to be elevated in warm weather, so people are 
prepped for a physical response to a situation. That‟s not to say we're headed for a violent end as Earth 
warms up, though. Advances in everything from technology to health have sparked a decline in conflict. It's
