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.

Bacteria are extremely small living things. While we measure our own sizes in inches or
centimeters, bacterial size is measured in microns. One micron is a thousandth of a millimeter a pinhead
is about a millimeter across. Rod shaped bacteria are usually from two to tour microns long, while
rounded ones are generally one micron in diameter Thus if you enlarged a founded bacterium a thousand
times, it would be just about the size of a pinhead. An adult human magnified by the same amount
would be over a mile(1.6 kilometers) tall.

Even with an ordinary microscope, you must look closely to see bacteria. Using a magnification
of 100 times, one finds that bacteria are barely visible as tiny rods or dots One cannot make out anything
of their structure. Using special stains, one can see that some bacteria have attached to them wavy -
looking "hairs" called flagella. Others have only one flagellum. The flagella rotate, pushing the bacteria
though the water. Many bacteria lack flagella and cannot move about by their own power while others
can glide along over surfaces by some little understood mechanism.

From the bacterial point of view, the world is a very different place from what it is to humans.
To a bacterium water is as thick as molasses is to us. Bacteria are so small that they are influenced by
the movements of the chemical molecules around them. Bacteria under the microscope, even those with
no flagella, often bounce about in the water. This is because they collide with the water molecules and
are pushed this way and that. Molecules move so rapidly that within a tenth of a second the molecules
around a bacterium have all been replaced by new ones even bacteria without flagella are thus
constantly exposed to a changing environment.

Question 36: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. The characteristics of bacteria B. How bacteria reproduce
C. The various functions of bacteria D. How bacteria contribute to disease
Question 37: Bacteria are measured in
A. inches B. centimeters C. microns D. millimeters
Question 38: Which of the following is the smallest?
A. A pinhead B. A rounded bacterium
C. A microscope D. A rod-shaped bacterium
Question 39: According to the passage, someone who examines bacteria using only a microscope that
magnifies 100 times would see
 A. tiny dots B. small "hairs"
C. large rods D. detailed structures
Question 40: The relationship between a bacterium and its flagella is most nearly analogous to which
of the following?
A. A rider jumping on a horse's back B. A ball being hit by a bat
C. A boat powered by a motor D. A door closed by a gust of wind
Question 41: In paragraph 3, the author compares water to molasses, in order to introduce which of
the following topics?
A. The bacterial content of different liquids
B. What happens when bacteria are added to molasses
C. The molecular structures of different chemicals
D. How difficult it is for bacteria to move through water

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.

The origins of nest-building remain obscure, but current observation of nest-building

activities provide evidence of their evolution. Clues to this evolutionary process can befound in the
activities of play and in the behavior and movements of birds during mating,such as incessant pulling at
strips of vegetation or scraping of the soil. During the earlydays of the reproductive cycle, the birds
seem only to play with the building materials. Inpreparation for mating, they engage in activities that
resemble nest-building, and continuethese activities throughout and even after the mating cycle.
Effective attempts at constructionoccur only after mating.

Although nest-building is an instinctive ability, there is considerable adaptability in

both site selection and use of materials, especially with those species which build quiteelaborate
constructions. Furthermore, some element of learning is often evident sinceyounger birds do not build as
well as their practiced elders. Young ravens, for example,first attempt to build with sticks of quite
unsuitable size, while a jackdaw's first nestincludes virtually any movable object. The novelist John
Steinbeck recorded the contentsof a young osprey nest built in his garden, which included three shirts, a
bath towel, andone arrow.

Birds also display remarkable behavior in collecting building materials. Crows have
been seen to tear off stout green twigs, and sparrowhawks will dive purposefully onto abranch until it
snaps and then hang upside down to break it off. Golden eagles, over
generations of work, construct enormous nests. One of these, examined after it had beendislodged by
high winds, weighed almost two tons and included foundation branchesalmost two meters long. The
carrying capacity of the eagles, however, is only relative totheir size ant1 most birds are able to carry an
extra load of just over twenty percent of theirbody weight.

Question 42: The word "obscure" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

A. interesting B. unclear C. imperfect D. complex
Question 43: According to the passage, which of the following activities is characteristic of the early
part of the reproductive cycle of birds?

Question 44: The word "display" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
 A. communicate B. imitate C. initiate D. exhibit

A. conducted a scientific study on the behavior of ospreys
B. was the first to describe where ospreys built their nests
C. described the materials ospreys can use to build their nests
D. compared the size of osprey nests with the nests of other species
Question 46: Which of the following birds are mentioned as those that build nests that include
unusual objects?
A. Ravens B. Ospreys C. Crows D. Sparrowhawks
Question 47: According to the passage, when gathering materials to build their nests, sparrowhawks
do which of the following?
A. Hang upside down
B. Select only green twigs
C. Use objects blowing in the wind
D. Collect more branches than necessary
Question 48: The word "these" in paragraph 3 refers to
A. golden eagles C. generations C. winds D. nests
Question 49: The word "load" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
A. weight B. number C. section D. level
Question 50: The author mentions twenty percent in paragraph 3 to indicate that
A. eagles are twenty percent bigger than most birds
B. twenty percent of all nests include foundation branches
C. the nests of eagles are twenty percent of larger than those of other birds
D. birds can carry twenty percent of their own weight
