Read the following passage, and mark the letter A,B,C and D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42 .
 Whales, the largest animals on earth, belong to a family of mammals known as cetaceans. Unlike fish, whales are warm-blooded, breathe air and give birth to live young. Scientists believe that they evolved from land mammals with four legs, though they are now supremely adapted to underwater life. They have excellent hearing and are two to three times more efficient than land mammals at using
oxygen in inhaled air. Whales have collapsible ribcages, which assist them with deep diving, and they
have layers of insulating fat, called blubber, to protect them from the cold.
 Whales are difficult creatures to study because they are long-lived, reproduce slowly and most are highly migratory. Pacific Gray whales, for example, migrate from Alaska to Mexico every year, traveling about 20,000 kilometres annually. Most whales live to approximately 40 years of age, though others, such as the Fin, can live to be 90. Bowhead whales may be especially long-lived. In 1993, a large male killed by the Alaskan Inuit was found to have been carrying in its flesh a stone harpoon point. Since this kind of harpoon is not known to have been in use after 1900, it suggests that some individual whales of this type may live around the 100 years mark.
 Since it is very difficult to count whales accurately (population changes occur very slowly), it is
impossible to tell if a population is growing or shrinking in the course of a few years' study. In fact, the size of some populations of whales is known no more accurately than plus or minus 50 percent.

A. The study of whales	B. The travel habits of whales
C. The development of whales	D. The long life of whales
Question 37. Which statement is not true of whales?
A. They are easy to count.	B. They live for a long time.
C. They hear underwater.	D. They once lived on land.
Question 38. The word "supremely" could best be replaced by ______
A. Firstly	B. Originally	C. Mostly	D. highly
Question 39. Whale’s age _______
A. depends on migration patterns.	B. cannot be determined by study.
C. varies from species to species.	D. depends on hunting success.
Question 40. The phrase "of this type" in paragraph 2 refers to
A. Bowheads	B. Harpoons	C. Inuits	D. male whales
Question 41. Population surveying is difficult because
A. whales are migratory.	B. whale numbers hardly move.
C. whales are small in number.	D. whale numbers are decreasing.
Question 42. Which helps whales dive deep into the ocean ?
A. their collapsible ribcages	B. their layers of insulating fat	
C. Their blubber	D. all of them
Read the following passage, and mark the letter A,B,C and D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50 .
Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments. Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs. But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was willing to work could find a job.
Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the programs -Social Security - has become an American institution. Paid for by deductions from the paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it. Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up the anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated.
In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs. These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is built at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes.
Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum of private charities and voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S. households contribute money to charity.
Question 43: New immigrants to the U.S. could seek help from ______.
A. the people who came earlier         	B. the US government agencies
C. only charity organizations            	D. volunteer organizations

A. “executed”                   	B. “studied”                	C. “introduced”          D. “enforced”

A. deductions from wages                	B. people’s willingness to work
