I. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct<br />
answer to each of the questions<br />
Look at your hand, and it might not seem very interesting at first, but it is an amazing tool. In fact, the<br />
human hand is as complex and as useful as a high tech machine.<br />
This might sound strange to you, but the development of the human hand changed the world. For example,<br />
the thumb helped human beings become the smartest and most powerful animals on the Earth. Your thumb is<br />
important because it faces your other fingers. This allows you to hold things, like tools. Being able to hold tools<br />
allowed our ancient ancestors to build things and become more advanced. It is also possible that when we<br />
developed thumbs and started to use tools, our brains developed faster as well.<br />
And how about this? Your fingers are the only parts of your body that are moved by a "remote control". A<br />
remote control is the small device that you use to change the channel on your television. Your fingers are<br />
controlled by remote because they don't have any muscles. You control your fingers with the muscles in your<br />
palms. The palms are connected to the fingers by tendons. The palms pull the tendons, and move them the<br />
same way a string moves a puppet.<br />
Every part of the human body is complicated, but the hand is especially complicated. It has a total of 29<br />
bones. There are 34 different muscles that move the fingers and the thumb. Seventeen of those muscles are in<br />
the palm, and 18 are in the forearm. The human hand also has 48 nerves and 30 arteries. An artery is like a<br />
vein, but it carries blood away from the heart.<br />
Human beings are not as strong or as fast as other animals. However, our ancient ancestors were able to rule the<br />
world for two reasons. First, they were intelligent. Second, they had these amazing instruments called hands.<br />
There is no other invention like them in the world.<br />

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct<br />
answer to each of the questions<br />
One of the hottest topics related to the environment is rainforests. Despite always being mentioned in the<br />
news, many people don't know very much about these areas or understand why they are so important. The<br />
name "rainforest" actually does a pretty good job of describing what they are - tall forests that receive high<br />
amounts of precipitation. In a year, rainforests get between 250 to 450 centimeters of precipitation. There are<br />
two types of rainforests: tropical rainforests and temperate rainforests. Tropical rainforests are more plentiful<br />
and are located in warmer climates, while temperate rainforests are found in places where the weather is a bit<br />
milder. In terms of location, rainforests can be found on every continent with the exception of Antarctica.<br />
Although they only cover 6 percent of the Earth, over 50 percent of the Earth's animal and plant species can be<br />
found there. Many biologists estimate that there are possibly millions of additional species present there that<br />
have yet to be discovered and classified.<br />
Over the years, rainforests have gained the nickname "the world's pharmacy" because more than 25 percent<br />
of natural medicines were found there. Many herbs that are used to make medicines can only be found in<br />
rainforests. Rainforests are also home to several tribes that have lived off the land for thousands of years.<br />
During this time, they have survived by hunting animals and gathering fruits and vegetables. They also possess<br />
tremendous knowledge when it comes to crafting and applying medicines made from herbs and plants. Over<br />
time, their unique way of life has declined as they have come in contact with modem civilization.<br />
Despite their numerous benefits, rainforest have been disappearing at a rapid speed. As the Earth's<br />
population continues to expand, developers have been cutting down their trees to create new lands for farming<br />
or urban projects. This could have unfortunate long-term effects on our planet. If deforestation continues at this<br />
<br />

<br />
rate, it is possible that a quarter of all species on the Earth may become extinct in the next 50 years. As it<br />
stands, plenty of damage has already occurred. West Africa has had 90 percent of its rainforests destroyed,<br />
while the island nation of Madagascar has eliminated 66 percent of its original rainforests as well. As a result,<br />
many charities have sprung up with the goal of purchasing and protecting the remaining rainforests. With their<br />
help, hopefully we can stop the destruction of one of the planet's most vital assets.<br />
