in the midst of this diversity, the similarit ies between living

things are profound. For example, although the fruit f ly

genome encodes about 14,000 different proteins, and

humans have tw o to three times that number, many

proteins are still recognizably similar in sequence and task,

reflecting their common ancestry. In fact, when scientists

have put human disease genes into f lies, they often cause

the same symptoms in the insects as they do in people.

Furthermore, addition of a normal human gene can

sometimes compensate for the deletion of the same gene

from the f ly.

65. It is understood from the passage that ----.

A) the proteins encoded in the human genome and

that of the fruit f ly bear many similarities

B) all human genes cause disease symptoms in f lies

C) humans have the same number of proteins in their

genome as fruit f lies

D) humans and fruit f lies have no similarities in their

genomes

E) humans and fruit f lies are the only species with

innumerable proteins in their genomes

66. It is pointed out in the passage that ----.

A) there are no similarit ies at all betw een different species

B) the combinations of proteins in living beings have yet to

be fully identif ied

C) the cause of the variety between species cannot be

understood

D) the evolution of life on earth has taken a very, very long

period of time

E) the various species do not share a common

origin

67. It is emphasized in the passage that ----.

A) the huge diversity between the species is rarely

due to the process of evolution

B) species on earth show a great deal of diversity, but, at

the same time, remarkable genetic resemblance

C) the idea that human genes can be implanted into f lies

has aroused much controversy among scientists

D) the symptoms caused by disease genes can hardly be

specif ied at f irst glance

E) the variety of proteins in the fruit f ly genome still

needs to be thoroughly explored

68. When humans and fruit flies are compared

genetically, it is seen that ----.

A) there are no similarit ies between them at all

B) there are many differences which still require

further explanation

C) human disease genes do not affect fruit f lies

when implanted into them

D) fruit f lies are much more prone to suffer from disease

E) several of their proteins display the same pattern of

arrangement and function


If your child has a learning diff iculty, you may be eager for

the source of your child’s struggle. Beware of the popular

myths and misconceptions about LD. You can visit the

website www.schwablearning.org, a parent’s guide to

helping kids w ith learning diff iculties. They offer free

information you can trust: research-based articles,

publications, other resources and an online community of

parents who share the same concerns. Send your child to

how hard they try

E) children w ith LD may develop self-confidence if parents

do not intervene at all


We are all involved in the oil business every time w e start

our cars, turn on our lights, cook a meal or heat our homes

since we are relying on some form of fuel to make it

happen. Up to now , it has inevitably been a fossil fuel, part

of the carbon chain, and just as inevitably, that w ill have to

change. Long before we decide to stop using fossil fuels,

costs will have already made the decision for us: not just

the monetary cost, but the human cost, the cultural cost

and the environmental cost. We will, quite rightly, demand

that our future energy be both sustainable and renewable.

We w ill expect a lot from the likes of solar power, w ind

pow er, geothermal pow er and hydrogen fuel cells, and it

will take time.

73. It is stated in the passage that ----.

A) we will soon be able to eliminate the harmful energy

sources from our daily lives

B) we will inevitably go on using only fossil fuels

C) hydrogen fuel cells are one source of energy we will

use in the future

D) fossil fuels are not obtained from carbon

E) the human, cultural and environmental cost of current

energy is more important than its f inancial cost

74. The passage claims that ----.

A) processes such as lighting, cooking and heating do not

completely depend on fossil fuels

B) although we expect a lot from geothermal pow er, it w ill

not help us much

C) people are used to using alternative energy sources

D) w e will realize how much we have spent on fosil fuels

only after we stop using them

E) all people are responsible for the severe costs brought

about by the use of fossil fuels

75. According to the passage, ----.

A) people have no right to demand better energy in

the future since they have caused this problem

B) the use of alternative power sources such as the w ind

and the sun may protect us from the high costs of present

day energy consumption

C) people w ho do not own or drive cars are not involved in

the oil business

D) fossil fuels harm people more than they harm the

environment

E) w e will use up sustainable and renewable energy

sources too, but that w ill take a long time

76. The main idea of this passage is that ----.

A) some kind of fuel, no matter which kind, is necessary for

us to maintain our lifestyle

B) energy sources such as solar, wind and geothermal

pow er are signif icantly cheaper

C) the many costs of using fossil fuels will make us

demand sustainable, renewable energy in the future

D) obtaining energy from sustainable and renewable

sources will happen only when people expect it

E) the monetary cost of fossil fuels will be the main

factor forcing us to switch to other fuels


For almost 200 years, the idea of cosmic events affecting

life on Earth w as viewed as heretical by the church, which

regarded catastrophe as proof of divine intervention, and

as nonsense by the scientif ic establishment, which

dismissed it as superstition. Yet in the end, the sheer

weight of evidence has swept away all doubt about the

reality of global catastrophes. Attempts to make scientif ic

sense of the many legends of global catastrophes date

back to the dawn of modern science itself, in the 17th

century. Follow ing the publication of Newton’s laws of

motion and universal gravitation in 1687, Edmond Halley

decided to apply them to the mystery of comets.

By studying records of their appearance, Halley argued

that the bright comets of 1456, 1531, 1607 and 1682 were

in fact one comet, later know n as the “Halley” comet, that

followed a vast elliptical orbit around the sun in agreement

with Newton’s laws. But Halley noted something else as

well: a comet crossing the orbit of the Earth might one

day collide with us with devastating consequences .

77. According to the passage, Newton’s laws of

motion and gravitation ----.

A) had no impact whatsoever on the rise of modern

science

B) were approached skeptically by Halley and other

contemporary scientists

C) helped Halley to identify the comet that bears his name

D) convinced Halley that catastrophes were in fact acts of

divine intervention

E) w ere dismissed right away by the scientif ic

establishment of his time

78. It is pointed out in the passage that, prior to the

rise of modern science in the 17th century,----.

A) various studies had been made of comets, but

Halley disregarded them all

B) the way people viewed cosmic events varied

greatly

C) all kinds of learning had been subject to the

approval of the church

D) the Earth had experienced several collisions with

cosmic objects

E) attempts had been made to explain certain

catastrophes with reference to gravitational laws

79. We learn from the passage that in the opinion of

Halley, ----.

A) the mystery surrounding comets could never be

cleared up

B) New ton’s laws of motion and gravitation needed

to be further clarif ied and elaborated

C) the earlier appearances of the comet “Halley” had not

been properly recorded

D) global catastrophes could be prevented through

new scientif ic developments

E) a comet may, at some point in the future, strike

Earth

80. It is clear from the passage that, in the past, the

church ----.

A) regarded global catastrophes as acts of God

B) was particularly interested in the movements of comets

C) consistently banned any research into cosmic events

D) encouraged scientists to f ind ways of preventing global

catastrophes

E) w ished to suppress all thoughts of cosmic events
