Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 36 -42.
 It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct. What causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish. The exact causes of a species’death vary from situation to situation. Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to a species. For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able to adapt. Food resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring these resources. Other species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in competition and utimately, in the death of a species.
 The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth. Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time – a mass extinction. One of the best- known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life. Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225 million years ago, when approximately 95 percent of all species died, mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species. If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affecting even organisms not living in the oceans. Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction.
 One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years have tended to be more intense every 26 million years. This periodic extinction might be due to intersection of the Earth’s orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative.Some researchers have also speculated that extinction may often be random. That is, certain species may be eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason. A species’survival may have nothing to do with its ability or inability to adapt. If so, some of evolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 43 – 50.
 A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionaire, that provides information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best known surveys are the Gallup polland the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States.
 North Americans are familiar with the many “ person on the street” interviews on local television news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle – class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which areas the newspeople select. Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera. A survey must based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population.
 In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercice great care in the wording of questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it. It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results. Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired. Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accutately.
 There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionaire. Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written qustionaire.In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject’s underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent.

 A. The history of surveys in North America	
 B. The principles of conducting surveys
 C. Problems associated with interpreting surveys	
 D. The importance of polls in American political life
Question 44: The word “ They” in line 7 refers to _____________
 A. North American	B. news shows	C. interviewss	D. opinions

 A. are not based on a representative	B. are used only on television
 C. are not carefully worded	D. reflect politicalopinions
Question 46: The word “ precise” is closest in meaning to ________
 A. planned	B. rational	C. required	D. accurate
Question 47: According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important for an effective survey?
 A. A high number of respondents	
 B. Carefully worded questions
 C. An interviewer’s ability to measure respondents’ feeling
 D. A sociologist who is able to interpret the results.
Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that one reason that sociologists may become frustrated with questionaires is that ________________
 A. respondents often do not complete and return questionaires
 B. questionaires are often difficult to read
 C. questionaires are expensive and difficult to distribute
 D. respondents are too eager to supplement questions with their own opinions
Question 49: According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over qustionaires is that live interviews __________________
 A. cost less	B. can produce more information	
 C. are easier to interpret	D. minimize the influence of the researcher
Question 50: The word “ probe” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ____________
 A. explore	B. influence	C. analyze	D. apply
