Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer for each of the questions.
When you get stuck in traffic, you roll up all windows of your car and open the air recirculation system. You may
think these measures can protect your nose from the nasty smelling fumes going up from the cars around you.
Actually, recent researchers have shown that on-the-road exposure to pollutants can damage the heart.
Over the past several years, it has been proved that air pollution worsens heart disease and even causes heart
attacks. Unfortunately, up to now there has not been any effective way to keep all the heart damaging particles from
entering your car. Experts suggest that those who have heart disease should not travel during rush hours.
The researchers from the National Research Center fro Environment and Health in Germany asked 691 people
who suffered heart attacks to write down in detail their activities in the hours preceding the attacks. The researchers
found that the risk of a heart attack rose by nearly 30% when people were stuck in traffic, and it did not matter
whether the person was driving or simply a passenger on a bus, or another kind of public transportation.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer for each of the questions.
After the United States purchased Louisiana from France and made it their newest territory in 1803, President
Thomas Jefferson called for an expedition to investigate the land the United States had bought for $15 million.
Jefferson’s secretary, Meriwether Lewis, a woodsman and a hunter from childhood, persuaded the president to let
him lead this expedition. Lewis recruited Army officer William Clark to be his co-commander. The Lewis and Clark
expedition led the two young explorers to discover a new natural wealth of variety and abundance about which they
would return to tell the world.
When Lewis and Clark departed from St. Louis in 1804, they had twenty-nine in their party, including a few
Frenchmen and several men from Kentucky who were well-known frontiersmen. Along the way, they picked up an
interpreter named Toussant Charbonneau and his Native American wife, Sacajawea, the Shoshoni “Bird Woman”
who aided them as guide and peacemaker and later became an American legend.
The expedition followed the Missouri River to its source, made a long portage overland though the Rocky
Mountains, and descended the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean. On the journey, they encountered peaceful
Otos, whom they befriended, and hostile Teton Sioux, who demanded tribute from all traders. They also met
Shoshoni, who welcomed their little sister Sacajawea, who had been abducted as a child by the Mandans. They
discovered a paradise full of giant buffalo herds and elk and antelope so innocent of human contact that they tamely
approached the men. The explorers also found a hell blighted by mosquitoes and winters harsher than anyone
could reasonably hope to survive. They became desperately lost, then found their way again. Lewis and Clark kept
detailed journals of the expedition, cataloging a dazzling array of new plants and animals, and even unearthing the
bones of a forty-five-foot dinosaur.
When the party returned to St. Louis in 1806 after travelling almost 8,000 miles, they were eagerly greeted and
grandly entertained. Their glowing descriptions of this vast new West provided a boon to the westward migration
now becoming a permanent part of American life. The journals written by Lewis and Clark are still widely read today.
Question 43: The purpose of the Lewis and Clark expedition was________.
A. to establish trade with the Otos and Teton Sioux B. to explore territory purchased by the United States
C. to purchase land from France D. to find the source of the Missouri River
