told Reuters health.
Although the pharmacist visit didt help the average patient, he

This following text is for question 26 to28.
Charles Darwin was greatly influenced by the geologist Adam
Sedgwick and natural- ist John Henslow in his development of the
theory of natural selection, which was to become the foundation
concept supporting the theory of evolution. darwin s theory holds
that environmental effect lead to vary- ing degrees of reproductive
success in indi- viduals and groups of organisms. Natural selection
tends to promote adaption in or- ganisms when necessary for
survival. This revolutionary theory was published in 1859 in
Darwins now famous On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural
Selection.

organismsCharles Robert Darwin was born in Shrewsbury, England, on
February 12, 1809. he came from a wealthy family and never had to
work. He studied medicine and theology.
In 1831 he graduated from University of Cambridge with a degree
of theology. He began a career as a scientist quite by chance. On
December 27, 1831, 22 years old Charles Darwin joined the crew of
the HMS Beagle as a naturalist. The five years expedition col-
lected hydrographic, geologic, and meteo- rologic data from South
America and many other regions around the world. Darwins own

following text is for question 29 to 32.GeyserA geyser is the
result of undergroundwater under the combined conditions of high
temperatures and Increased pressure beneath the surface of the
earth. Since tem- perature rises approximately 10F for every sixty
feet under the earth's surface, and pres- sure increases with
depth, the water that seeps down in crack and fissures until it
reaches very hot rock In the earth interior becomes heated to
temperature In excess of
290F. Because of the greater pressure, thewater shoots out of
the surface in the formof steam and hot water , The result is a
gey-ser . In order to function, then a geyser must have a source of
heat, reservoir where water can be stored until the temperature
rises to an unstable point, an opening through which the hot water
and steam can escape, and un- derground channels for resupplying
water after an eruption.
Favorable conditions for geyser exist in some regions of the
world Including New Zealand, Iceland, and the Yellowstone Na-
tional Park area of the United States. The most famous geyser in
the world is Old Faith
-full in Yellow Park. Old Faithful' erupts al-most every hour,
rising to a height of 125 to170 feet and expelling more than ten
thou-sand gallons during each eruption.
29. How geyser is produced?
(A) By the rise of temperature pressure functioning hot
steam
(B) From a huge tension of heated water that coming out from the
earth crack
(C) From the heated temperature in earth crack that absorbing
water
(D) From the temperature and absorbed wa- ter that occurs on
earth surface
(E) By the hot water and temperature of hot rock that occurs on
earth surface
30. Steam and hot water shoot out of the sur- face because
of....
(A) hot lock and water
(B) temperature and pressure(C) greater pressure(D) high
temperature and increased pressure(E) underground temperature and
increased pressure

eruption and resupplying again

35.Faster planes and cheaper flights aremaking it easier than ever
before for peopleto travel. In the most 'developed societies,
visiting exotic places is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism
Industries of both de- veloped a. developing countries have recog-
nized this fact a. are learning to take advan- tage of it.
There are, however. some problems as- sociate with this new
industry. F1r500. there is the Increasing crime rate. Some locals
see tourists as an easy prey because, not only a. they in
unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of
themselves, hut also they carry visible items of weal., such as
cameras and jewelry which can be disposed of Quickly for
Profit.
Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes
greater danger of spreading contagious diseases around the world.
One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before
their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many
diseases which resist antibiotics Is re- using scientists to be
Increasingly concerned about this issue.
Also to be considered is the natural envi- ronment, which can be
seriously threatened by too many visitors. Australia's Great Bar-
rier Reef, for example, is In danger of being destroyed by tourists
and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more
delicate coral cays These are just three of the reasons why any
country should be wary of commit- ting itself to an extensive
tourism develop- ment program.
33. Why does the natural environment become one of the serious
problem associated with the faster planes and cheaper flight? Be-
cause ....
(A) It easily started an epidemic before their illness was
diagnosed

of wealth(E) It can Increase crime rate34. Why is the crime rate

(B) The tourists are spreading contagiousdiseases(C) The
government is planning to restrictvisitors to some coral cays
(D) The new industry makes the number ofunemployment increase(E)
The tourists come by plane

The following text is for questions 36 to 38.Tim Burton's "Alice
in Wonderland.'was probably the most anticipated movie ofthe year
2010. But is it any good? First of all,I should probably mention
that hardcore Lewis Carroll fans may find it only disap- pointing.

woman who has the same dream of finding herself in Wonder- land
every night, until one day it happens In real life. Her arrival was
expected. Alice is supposed to save the Inhabitants from the evil
Red Queen and get the reign back to her kind sister, the White
Queen. She knows nothing about it, but she is meant to be the
knight In shining armor, both figuratively and literally
speaking.

reasons for keeping dogs as Pete in the city area, but many peo-
ple feel that keeping pet dogs should not be allowed In the
city.
Dogs are often not taken care properly. They are kept in small
backyards and rarely taken for walks. They are left in the yard all
day by themselves while the family rune work. Very little attention

The following text is for question 42 to 44.The coloring and
spots that earned leop-ard gecko are only two of the outstanding
physical features of this popular gecko. Leopard geckos are seven
to nine inches long when they leach adulthood. They have large
heads and big cat-like eyes. They are one of the few breeds of
lizards that have eyelids. They had thick tails that comes to a
point. Leopard geckos have small thin toes that do not have pads.
This makes It difficult for them to do vertical climbing. Their
skin is scaly and colorful. Geckos have black spots and wide black
bands.
Leopard geckos are natively found in the deserts of western
India, Pakistan, and Af- ghanistan. They live in dry areas and
prefer rocky floors or semi-arid grasslands. Leopard geckos are
nocturnal, spending the daytime hours under rocks or inside
underground caves in the daytime. Geckos love the heat, preferring
temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees.
Leopard geckos have adapted well to dry, hot climates. They are
nocturnal. Instead of coming out of the daytime to soak up the
warmth of the sun, they are able to absorb the heat from the rocks
under which they hide. Another adaptation that helps the leop- ard
gecko survive is Its ability to store fat and nutrients In its tail
at times when food is hard to find.
The leopard gecko has a fairly typical lizard-life cycle with
the exception of their eggs. While most geckos have hard-shelled
eggs, leopard gecko's eggs are soft-shelled. The female can lay up
to five batches of one or two eggs during the five-month breeding
season. The gecko leaches maturity In one to three years and can
live between 20-25 years.

times, leopard geckos ....

(B) hide under the rocks at night(C) soak up the warmth in the
daytime (D) sleep under a tree to collect energy (E) save fat and
nutrients in their tails
