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 from 35 to 39.<br />
Fish that live on the sea bottom benefit by being flat and hugging the contours. There are two very<br />
different types of flatfish and they have evolved in very separate ways. The skates and rays, relatives of the<br />
sharks have become flat in what might be called the obvious way. Their bodies have grown out sideways to form<br />
great “wings”. They look as though they have been flattened but have remained symmetrical and “the right way<br />
up”. Conversely fish such as plaice, sole, and halibut have become flat in a different way. There are bony fish<br />
which have a marked tendency to be flattened in a vertical direction; they are much “taller” than they are wide.<br />
They use their whole vertically flattened bodies as swimming surfaces, which undulate through the water as they<br />
move. Therefore when their ancestors migrated to the seabed, they lay on one side than on their bellies. However,<br />
this raises the problem that one eye was always looking down into the sand and was effectively useless - In<br />
evolution this problem was solved by the lower eye “moving” around the other side. We see this process of<br />
moving around enacted in the development of every young bony flatfish. It starts life swimming near the surface,<br />
and is symmetrical and vertically flattened, but then the skull starts to grow in a strange asymmetrical twisted<br />
fashion, so that one eye for instance the left, moves over the top of the head upwards, an old Picasso - like vision.<br />
Incidentally, some species of 20 flatfish settle on the right side, others on the left, and others on either side.<br />
Question 35: The word “conversely” is closest in meaning to _____.<br />
A. similarly<br />
B. alternatively<br />
C. inversely<br />
D. contrarily<br />
Question 36: The passage is mainly concerned with _____.<br />
A. bony flatfish<br />
B. evolution of flatfish<br />
C. symmetrical flatfish<br />
D. different types of flatfish<br />
Question 37: The author mentions skates and rays as examples of fish that _____.<br />
A. have spread horizontally<br />
B. become asymmetrical<br />
C. resemble sharks<br />
D. appear to fly<br />
Question 38: The word “this” refers to _____.<br />
A. the migration of the ancestors<br />
B. the difficulty of the only one eye being useful<br />
C. the problem of the one eye looking downwards<br />
D. the practice of lying on one side<br />
Question 39: According to the passage, the ability of a bony flatfish to move its eyes around is _____.<br />
A. average<br />
B. excellent<br />
C. weak<br />

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 from 40 to 47.<br />
If you enjoy water sports, Hawaii is the place for you. You can go swimming all year round in the warm water.<br />
You can go sport fishing from the shore or from a boat. If you like boats, you can go sailing, canoeing, or<br />
windsurfing. Or, you can also try some other water sports that are especially popular in Hawaii: surfing, snorkeling<br />
and scuba diving.<br />
Surfing is a sport which started in Hawaii many years ago. The Hawaiians called it “he’e nalu”, which means “to<br />
slide on a wave”. If you want to try surfing, you need, first of all, to be a good swimmer. You also have to have an<br />
excellent sense of balance. You must swim out from the beach with your surfboard under your arm. When you get<br />
to where the waves begin to break, you wait for a calm moment. Then you try to stand up on the board. The wave<br />
will begin to rise under you. You must try to steer the board with your feet so you stay on top of the wave. The<br />
important thing is to keep your balance and not fall down. If you can manage this, you will have an exciting ride all<br />
the way in to the shore.<br />
Scuba diving and snorkeling are two ways to get a close look at the beauty lying below the surface of the<br />
ocean. The waters off the Hawaiian Islands are clean, clear and warm. They contain hundreds of kinds of colorful<br />
fish. The undersea world is made even more colorful by the coral reefs of red, gold, white and light purple. Among<br />
these reefs there may be larger fish or sea turtles.<br />
Scuba diving allows you to see the most interesting undersea sights. “Scuba” means “Self-contained<br />
Underwater Breathing Apparatus”, that is, equipment for breathing and swimming around far under water. In<br />
Hawaii, you can take special courses to learn how to scuba dive. After the courses, you can get a certificate that<br />
will allow you to dive alone. Since it can be dangerous, proper instruction and great care are always necessary<br />
when you are scuba diving.<br />

If you are adventurous, you might try snorkeling instead of scuba diving. Less equipment is needed, just a face<br />
mask, a breathing tube (snorkel) and flippers for your feet. It only takes a few minutes to learn how to<br />
snorkel. Although you cannot dive deep into the water, you can swim with your face below the surface. Breathing<br />
