Reading Comprehension (30 points) Directions: In this section, there are three passages followed by questions or unfinishedstatements,eachwithfoursuggestedanswersmarkedA,B,C,andD.Choose the best answer and write the letter of your choice on the ANSWER SHEET. Passage One The world’s greatest structures built by insects or animals other than humans are, surprisingly, constructed by termites. Termites, sometimes known as white ants, are little insects that resemble ants in appearance, but they tend to be smaller, fatter, slower moving. There are about twelve to fifteen hundred species of termites. However, not a single one of them belong to the same class of insects as ants. Termites are actually more closely related to cockroaches and mantids. They are known to be social insects that have an instinct to use a system of cooperation and specialization as their main method of survival. Termites are most known to people and scientists for their peculiar and marvelous works of architecture. Australian and African termites, especially, build housing structures reaching almost ten meters in height. Considering their relative size, such a building would be the

equivalent of a 200-story edifice for humans. Their knowledge to construct such astonishing structures is known to be inborn in their nature. The termite nest, or termitary, usually takes the shape of a gigantic mound, or sometimes a multi-fingered hand, rising up from the surface. To build this housing for the colony, termites spend a considerable amount of time. It may take months, or sometimes even a year. The most common material composing a termitary is dirt. Termites carry the local soil and combine it with their saliva to solidify it. Because it is very firm and also impermeable, it is frequently used by people in Africa as a material for building their shelters. The termitary consists of thousands of chambers, each for a different purpose. The bottom layer of the mound generally serves as the living and working quarter for workers that assume the labors of foraging, food storage, and nest maintenance. Their chambers are located in the lower core so that they can easily go in and out of the termitary in search for food. Some species have gardens of various fungi in this lower part of the nest. The workers are in charge of cultivating and harvesting them as a stable source of food for the young. Above the worker chamber dwell termite soldiers devotedly protect their kind. Soldiers, as a mechanism for fighting, have developed big, strong jaws proportionally too big for their body size. Therefore, they cannot feed themselves without the help of workers. Above these two layers lie chambers called nymphs. The eggs and young termites stay here until they hatch and are fully grown. There is also a room for food storage in this part of the nest. At the top of the mound are the royal chambers for the kings and queens. Any males and females that mate with the opposite sex are termed as kings and queens. Each couple is in different chambers sustaining close proximity all the time. Once a termite has been chosen as a king or queen, such title and responsibility remains for the rest of its life. Unlike male ants which die immediately after mating, termite kings enjoy peaceful lives and are considered just as important as the queen. Queens, at maturity, can lay over a thousand eggs per day. One of the amazing facts about a termitary is that it comes with the most efficient systems of cooling and ventilation. Walls of the mixture of soil and saliva
