Questions 51 — 60 are based on the following passage.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was set up in 1988 to assess
information on climate change and its impact. Its Third Assessment Report predicts
global temperature rises by 2100 of between 1.4℃ and 5.8℃. Although the issue of
the changing climate is very complex and some changes are uncertain, temperature
rises are expected to affect countries throughout the world and have a knock-on
effect with sea-level rises.

B. record weather changes on its
Scientists have argued about whether temperature rises are due to human activities
or due to natural changes in our environment. The IPCC announced in 2001 that “most
of the warming observed over the last 50 years is likely to be attributable to human
activities”. This was a more forceful statement than in1996 when the Second
Assessment Report stated that there was a “discernible human influence on the
climate” which was the first time they had concluded such a link. Many experts
believe the faster the climate changes, the greater the risk will be.
Key points of the projections for climate change globally include that by the second
half of the 21st century, wintertime rainfall in the northern mid to high latitudes
and Antarctica will rise, that meanwhile Australia, Central America and southern
Africa are likely to see decreases in autumn precipitation, that some land areas
in the tropics will see more rainfall, and that there will generally be more hot
days over land areas.

Questions 61 — 70 are based on the following passage.
Now which are the animals really to be pitied in captivity? First, those clever beings
whose lively urge for activity can find no outlet behind the bars of the cage. This
is most conspicuous, even for the uninitiated, in the case of animals which, when
living in a free state, are accustomed to roaming about widely. Owing to this
frustrated desire, foxes and wolves housed, in many old-fashioned zoos, in cages
which are far too small, are among the most pitiable of all caged animals.
Though pinioned swans generally seem happy, under proper care, by hatching and
tearing their young without any trouble, at migration time things become different:
they repeatedly swim to the lee side of the pond, in order to have the whole extent
of its surface at their disposal, trying to take off. Again and again the grand
preparations end in a pathetic flutter of their half wings; a truly sorry picture!
This, however, rarely awakens the pity of the zoo visitor, least of all when such
an originally highly intelligent and mentally alert animal has deteriorated, in
confinement, into a crazy idiot, a very caricature of its former self. Sentimental
old ladies, the fanatical sponsors of the societies for Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, have no compunction in keeping a grey parrot in a relatively small cage
or even chained to a perch. Together with the large corvines, the parrots are probably
the only birds which suffer from that state of mind, common to prisoners, namely,
boredom.

A. An opportunity for expression.
C. A chance of escape into a wood

Question 71—80 are based on the following passage.
The fact that most Americans live in urban areas does not mean that they reside in
the center of large cities. In fact, more Americans live in the suburbs of large
metropolitan areas than in the cities themselves.
The Bureau of the Census regards any area with more than 2,500 people as an urban
area, and does not consider boundaries of cities and suburbs.
According to the Bureau, the political boundaries are less significant than the
social and economic relationships and the transportation and communication systems
that integrate a locale. The term used by the Bureau for an integrated metropolis
is an MSA, which stands for Metropolitan Statistical Area. In general, an MSA is
any area that contains a city and its surrounding suburbs and has a total population
of 50,000 or more.
At the present time, the Bureau reports more than 280 MSAs, which together account
for 75 percent of the US population. In addition, the Bureau recognizes 18
megapolises, that is, continuous adjacent metropolitan areas. One of the most
obvious megapolises includes a chain of hundreds of cities and suburbs across 10
states on the East Coast from Massachusetts to Virginia, including Boston, New York,
and Washington, D.C. In the Eastern Corridor, as it is called, a population of 45
million inhabitants is concentrated. Another megapolis that is growing rapidly is
the California coast from San Francisco through Los Angeles to San Diego.

Paragraph 4?

C. To conclude the passage.
Questions 81 — 90 are based on the following passage.
“what does the middleman do but add to the price of goods in the shops?” Such remarks
are aimed at the intermediate operations between manufacturers and final customers.
This practice usually attracts a lot of attention from the public and the press and
the operation most talked about is what is often called wholesaling.
The wholesaler buys goods in large quantities from the manufacturers and sells them
in smaller parcels to retailers, and for this service his selling price to the
retailer is raised several percent higher. But his job is made more difficult by
retail demand not necessarily running level with manufacturers’ production.
Because he adjusts or regulates the flow of goods by holding stock until required,
he frees the manufacturer, to some extent, from the effect on production of changing
B. Because 75 percent of the population lives
D. The Bureau of the Census is located there.
