As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general public. Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation issues such as diversity. Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions. For example, in 1875, one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321. This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed. A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or tropical regions, rather than between them, is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal communication" citations, even for vertebrates. In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase. In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about the evenness of butterfly 2
distribution. The New World butterflies make up the preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized. 51. The word "consequence" in line 2 is closest in meaning to……………. A. result B. explanation C. analysis D. requirement 52. The word "striking" in the passage is closest in meaning to……………… A. physical B. confusing C. noticeable D. successful 53. Butterflies are a good example for communicating information about conservation issues because they……… A. are simple in structure B. have been given scientific names C. are viewed positively by people D. are found mainly in temperate climates 54. The word “exceed” in the passage is closest in meaning to………………. A. locate B. allow C. go beyond D. come close to 55. Which of the following is NOT well understood by biologists? A. European butterfly habitats B. Differences in species richness between temperate and tropical regions C. Differences in species richness within a temperate or a tropical region D. Comparisons of behavior patterns of butterflies and certain animal groups 56. All of the followings are mentioned as being important parts of a general theory of diversity EXCEPT……………. A. differences between temperate and tropical zones B. patterns of distribution of species in each region C. migration among temperate and tropical zones D. variation of patterns of distribution of species among different animals and plants 57. Which aspect of butterflies does the passage mainly discuss? A. Their physical characteristics B. Their adaptation to different habitats C. Their names D. Their variety 58. The author mentions tropical Asia in the passage as an example of a location where…… A. butterfly behavior varies with climate B. a general theory of butterfly diversity has not yet been firmly established C. butterflies are affected by human populations D. documenting plant species is more difficult than documenting butterfly species 59. The word "generated" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to………. A. requested B. caused C. assisted D. estimated For questions 60-69, read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions (1) This rapid transcontinental settlement and these new urban industrial circumstances of the last half of the 19th century were accompanied by the development of a national literature of great abundance and variety. New themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new authors, new audiences all emerged in the literature of this half century. As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American literature had evolved (5) remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest. No longer was it produced, at least in its popular forms, in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle-class young people the only central characters in its narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed, were fiction, poetry, drama, and formal (10) history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was literature read primarily by young, middle class women. In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the condition Walt Whitman called for in1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his own major work, each state and region as peers "and expands from them, and includes the world ... connecting an American citizen with the citizens of all nations." At the same time, these years saw the emergence of what has been designated "the literature (15) of argument," powerful works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of them impelled by the spirit of exposure and reform. Just as America learned to play a role in this half century as an autonomous international political, economic, and military power, so did its literature establish itself as a producer of major works. 60. The main idea of this passage is A) that the new American literature was less provincial than the old B) that World War I caused a dramatic change in America C) that centers of culture shifted from East to West D) that most people were wary of the new literature 61. It can be inferred from lines 1-2 that the previous passage probably discussed A) the importance of tradition to writers B) new developments in industrialization and population shifts C) the fashions and values of 19th century America D) the limitations of American literature to this time 62. The word "evolved" in line 4 is closest in meaning to A) became famous B) turned back C) diminished D) changed 63. The word "it" in line 6 refers to A) the population B) the energy C) American literature D) the manufacturing 64. The word "exotic" in line 9 is closest in meaning to A) urban B) unusual C) well-known D) old-fashioned 3
65. The author uses the word "indeed" in line 9 for what purpose? A) To emphasize the contrast he is making B) For variety in a lengthy paragraph C) To wind down his argument D) To show a favorable attitude to these forms of literature 66. The phrase "these years" in line 11 refers to A) 1850-1900 B) the 1900s C) the early 1800s D) the present 67. It can be inferred from the passage that Walt Whitman A) disliked urban life B) was disapproving of the new literature C) wrote Leaves of Grass D) was an international diplomat 68. All of the following can be inferred from the passage about the new literature EXCEPT A) It was not highly regarded internationally B) It introduced new American themes, characters, and settings C) It broke with many literary traditions of the past D) It spoke to the issue of reform and change 69.
