“Drink Responsibly” MessagesAlcohol producers frequently include messages encouraging people to “drink

responsibly” in their advertisements. On the surface, these campaigns appear toreflect companies’ sincere efforts to reduce excessive drinking and other negativebehaviors associated with alcohol consumption. Some experts, however, arecritical of the ads, pointing out that the messages are frequently written in smallletters whose colors blend in with the background. ( 26 ), the messages areoften contradicted by the images in the ads. One vodka advertisement in theUnited States, for example, was accompanied by a responsibility message, but theadvertisement itself featured a character who appeared to have been enjoyingvodka all night.

Another criticism is that the messages are ( 27 ). Researchers at theJohns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in the United States, analyzeddozens of alcohol advertisements from major magazines and found that 87 percentof the ads contained advice to drink responsibly. None, however, defined what thismeant or provided health warnings supported by scientific evidence. In fact, criticssay that the messages are simply another way to improve the reputation of thealcohol companies.

Some people also complain that alcohol producers use the ads as a way to( 28 ). Whenever there are proposals to increase alcohol taxes or placelimitations on where alcohol can be sold or advertised, alcohol manufacturersargue that such measures are not necessary because they already provideresponsibility messages in their advertising.

Dog ColorsA recent study of Labrador retrievers has revealed that chocolatecolored

Labradors are more likely than Labradors of other colors to suffer from earinfections and skin diseases. It also found their average life expectancy is about 10percent shorter. According to the research team, ( 29 ). Ear infections andskin diseases both cause inflammation a condition where the body tries to repaircellular damage, and which is characterized by swelling, increased temperature,and pain. Inflammation is harmful in the long term, and studies in humans haveshown that people with inflammation tend to die younger than others.

The researchers believe colorrelated health problems in Labradors resultfrom breeding by humans. Both parents must have the gene for the chocolatecolor in order to produce a chocolate Labrador, so there are fewer dogs availablefor breeding, and this limited population of dogs likely has more genes that areassociated with ear infections and skin problems. ( 30 ), a gene found indogs with blue eyes and a white coat can increase rates of deafness, while anothergene, which gives dogs a pale, spotted coat, has been linked with high rates ofblindness and deafness.

Dracula TourismThe Transylvania region of Romania is generally associated with Dracula, the

mythical vampire from Bram Stoker’s famous 1897 horror novel. Although Stoker nevervisited the region, his descriptions of Transylvania’s ancient forests and mysteriouscastles, along with the popularity of the Dracula character, established Transylvania as adestination for Dracula fans. In the 1960s, they began visiting the region in hope ofexperiencing the culture that had given rise to the legend. They were generallydisappointed, however, as most residents of the region were unfamiliar with Stoker’snovel or vampire tales. Even so, the number of tourists kept rising.

Interest in Dracula tourism later increased as a result of Raymond T. McNally andRadu Florescu’s 1972 book, In Search of Dracula , which made a strong connectionbetween Dracula and Vlad III, a fifteenthcentury ruler known for his cruel and severelawenforcement tactics. This went against official history, which promoted Romania’sidentity as an independent Communist country by presenting Vlad III as a powerful leaderwho successfully defended his land against outside threats. The Dracula legend also madeTransylvania seem backward, superstitious, and frightening, and this contradicted themodern, industrialized image the country hoped to convey. Therefore, in the early 1970s,Romanian officials decided against encouraging Dracula tourism in spite of its potentialeconomic benefits.

Fans continued to visit the region, however, and private businesses quietly beganoffering services designed to appeal to their interests. What is more, the collapse ofCommunism in 1989 weakened official opposition to Dracula tourism. More recently,Romania’s Ministry of Tourism decided Dracula’s value as a means of improving theeconomy through tourism was too great to ignore. The national tourism website nowfeatures information about Dracularelated sites and activities. However, it is stronglybiased toward historical fact, emphasizing sightseeing attractions in the region that have aconnection to actual events.

Read each passage and choose the best answer from among the

four choices for each question. Then, on your answer sheet, find the

(32) The earliest Dracula fans visiting Transylvania1 discovered that the way Bram Stoker had described Transylvania based onhis experiences was surprisingly accurate.

2 found the locals willing to share regional tales about vampires and Draculadespite opposition from authorities.

3 experienced hostility from residents of Transylvania who were afraid oftheir history becoming public.

4 found that few local people had any knowledge about the topic that haddrawn them to visit the region.

(33) What was one reason Romanian officials did not want to support Draculathemed attractions in the early 1970s?

1 Advertising a character who was based on Vlad III would suggest there wasofficial praise for the acts he committed.

2 Vlad III’s negative image abroad meant that such attractions would likely beunpopular with tourists.

3 Promoting the Dracula legend would create an image of Vlad III thatdiffered from the one the government wanted to show.

4 Allowing people to learn more about Vlad III’s actions would cause interestin the Dracula legend to decrease.

(34) What best characterizes the current stance of the Romanian government towardDracula tourism?

1 Authorities will not allow the use of Dracula to promote tourism until allhistorical details relating to the legend are corrected.

2 Tourists to Romania are encouraged to visit areas that have no connectionto either the Dracula legend or Vlad III.

3 The Ministry of Tourism disagrees with other ministries about whetherpromoting Dracula is good for the country.

4 While recognizing Dracula’s appeal to tourists, officials direct them toplaces of interest with a historical focus.

Lightning Strikes and ShipsClouds often form around particles called aerosols. These tiny particles attract water

vapor, causing water droplets to form. When there are fewer aerosols present, water vapormolecules in the air have fewer particles to form around, so each individual water droplettends to be larger and heavier. Such large droplets create low clouds that release warmrain. When aerosols are present in greater numbers, however, the water droplets aresmaller, and there are more of them. And because these droplets are lighter, they can belifted high enough in the atmosphere that they turn to ice. When this happens, they makecontact with other frozen droplets and generate electricity, which is released as lightning.In a thunderstorm, each flash of lightning contributes to producing a harmful greenhousegas. This fact, along with the harm done to human life and property by lightning strikes,has been motivating scientists to examine the effect of human activities on storm intensityand lightning frequency.

In recent years, a number of datagathering networks have been established whichdetect lightning strikes and determine their frequency and location. In reviewing datafrom one such network, which uses a global system of lowfrequency radio receivers togather lightning data, atmospheric scientist Katrina Virts noticed an almost straight line ofstrikes occurring across the Indian Ocean between Sri Lanka and the Indonesian island ofSumatra. This line matched the path of one of the world’s busiest shipping routes. Virtsand her colleagues then analyzed the locations of 1.5 billion lightning strikes from 2005to 2016. They found that powerful storms with frequent lightning strikes were almosttwice as likely to occur in two of the busiest shipping routes across the northern IndianOcean and the South China Sea.

When they examined patterns of ships’ engine emissions from a global database,Virts and her colleagues found that aerosols in the atmosphere above the two shippingroutes were more numerous than those above nearby waters with less shipping activity.Engine emissions contain tiny carbon particles and compounds of nitrogen and sulfur thatact as aerosols. When out in the open ocean and therefore not subject to nations’emissions regulations most ships continuously burn a cheap, dirty type of fuel, whichreleases large amounts of these particles into the air. This results in the formation ofnumerous storm clouds. The researchers say their findings are evidence that manmadecauses are increasing the frequency of lightning and the intensity of storms on an ongoingbasis.

(35) The process by which clouds produce lightning1 must involve particles that are both large and warm enough to createelectricity in a cold environment.

2 is more likely to occur when water vapor turns into a relatively smallnumber of water droplets in the atmosphere.

3 requires water droplets to rise to a height where they freeze and createelectricity through contact with each other.

4 can happen only when greenhouse gases are present in areas of theatmosphere that are not already heavily polluted.

(36) What is true of the network described in the second paragraph?1 It showed that lightning strikes were especially frequent in certain areasover the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea.

2 It was established to compare the intensity of storms occurring over landwith those occurring over water.

3 It led to the discovery that storms which produce lightning become lesspowerful as they pass over busy shipping routes.

4 It helped researchers find that lightning strikes are twice as common overthe Indian Ocean as they are over the South China Sea.

(37) What is one conclusion that can be made based on Katrina Virts’s study?1 Laws designed to protect the environment from carbon emissions are beingbroken.

2 Changes in cloud patterns caused by emissions have been less significantthan other manmade changes in the atmosphere.

3 Fuel burned by ships affects cloud formation less than the aerosol particlesthat naturally exist over the open ocean do.

4 The large numbers of particles released into the atmosphere by ships in theopen ocean are consistently affecting the weather.

Is It Time for Universal Basic Income?In 1516, Sir Thomas More wrote Utopia , a novel about the political and social

systems of an imaginary ideal nation. More addressed the issue of poverty by having oneof the main characters exclaim, “No penalty on earth will stop people from stealing, ifit’s their only way of getting food. . . . It would be far more to the point to provideeveryone with some means of livelihood.” Over 500 years later, income inequality andeconomic insecurity are still major problems, having become deeprooted consequences ofmodern capitalism. This situation has inspired some economists and political strategists tolook to More’s Utopia for guidance.

Universal basic income (UBI), the idea of providing everyone in society with aminimum income that would cover basic needs, regardless of employment status or livingcircumstances, is being tested around the world. Supporters argue this approach couldeliminate poverty in society. UBI would provide money for things like food, shelter, andclothing, and, in the process, reduce stress on economies by increasing individuals’buying power. Malnutrition and homelessness two of the worst and most widespreadeffects of poverty would also drop. Research has shown wellnourished children performbetter in school and have fewer behavioral problems, and students are better able to makeconsistent academic progress when they have stable living circumstances. Supporters alsonote that adults who do not need to work multiple jobs to make ends meet can focus onsuch things as starting their own business or learning new skills to increase employmentopportunities.

Critics of UBI argue that recipients would quit their job because there would be lessincentive to work, and that they would spend their “free money” not on basic necessitiesbut on vices such as drinking and gambling. Other criticisms of UBI are that it wouldencourage employers to decrease wages, that it would take government money away fromessential social programs, including food assistance, and that the cost would simply betoo high for governments to manage. Indeed, experts estimate countries could need tospend up to 35 percent of their gross domestic product to cover UBI for all their citizens.However, supporters insist that, because UBI would decrease the need for other socialprograms, government spending on healthcare, food assistance, and unemployment wouldfall.

Countries and cities around the world are experimenting with various smallscaleversions of UBI. In a 12year UBI trial in Kenya, all adults in some rural communitiesbegan receiving $22 every month from an aid organization. Initial findings show themajority of UBI recipients in Kenya invested this income in small businesses, children’sschool fees, medicine, and necessities. Very few spent the money on deadend pursuitssuch as drinking and gambling; in fact, most reduced their spending on such things, andexplained that the prospect of having a brighter future encouraged them to be moreresponsible. Research also shows that, since the experiment began, people have beenworking more and making investments to increase their wealth. Although the results areencouraging, even proponents of UBI agree further study is necessary to determine howpractical the idea would be on a broader scale.

Grade Pre-1

(38) According to the author of the passage, why have some economists and politicalstrategists found Sir Thomas More’s novel Utopia useful?

1 Nations today can benefit by studying how the social policies described inthe novel harmed the imaginary nation’s economy.

2 More’s view about how the degree of punishment should match theseriousness of the crime is relevant to modern society.

3 Many modern social welfare policies are actually based on the ideas thatwere explained in it.

4 More’s idea of addressing poverty by giving people a way to meet theirmost essential needs may be helpful in today’s world.

(39) What claim do some people make in support of universal basic income?1 The fact that poverty is declining rapidly means that providing UBI willcost less than it did in the past.

2 Increasing funding for education is the first step governments should take tohelp citizens find betterpaying employment.

3 Improving the living standards of individuals would ultimately have largescale beneficial effects on society as a whole.

4 Solving the problem of homelessness is the most important issue fordeveloped countries to address if they hope to end poverty.

(40) One argument made against UBI is that1 the financial cost of addressing the rise in alcohol abuse and gamblingresulting from UBI would cancel out the economic benefits.

2 in order to pay for it, government spending on important social serviceswould have to be reduced.

3 raising the income of certain people while not giving financial assistance toothers would worsen existing divisions in society.

4 it would increase competition in certain areas of the job market andtherefore have a harmful effect on the poor.

(41) What was observed in the UBI experiment in Kenya?1 The beneficial effects of the program were limited to people who had themost serious drinking or gambling habits.

2 Many recipients lost money because of bad investments, though a few seemlikely to profit from the program in the long term.

3 Aid workers praised the program, though they expressed concern that itwould result in an increase in the prices of some basic necessities.

4 The overall spending habits of those who received funds are evidence thatpeople are unlikely to waste the money they receive.
