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 from 1 to 8. Even though most people can’t find it on a map, the small island of Sumbawa has played an important role in history. Sumbawa is situated to the east of the popular resort island of Bali and is currently home to around 1.5 million people. For these people the island is home, but Sumbawa is important for another reason as well. Mount Tambora – a volcano, 1815 volcanic eruption was the deadliest and most powerful in history – is located on its northern half. In early April of 1815, Mount Tambora changed the world. It released a blast that registered a whopping 7 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index. That is the highest in human history. Its eruption was so loud that it was heard by people who live in Sumatra – an island located more than 2,000 kilometers away. When Tambora erupted, it shot around 100 cubic kilometers of rock and ash into the air. The ash caused complete darkness on Sumbawa and its neighboring islands for several days. It destroyed all vegetation and killed an estimated 71,000 people in the area. But the damage Tambora caused did not end in Indonesia. One year later, the volcanic cloud of ash it ejected reached the northern hemisphere. There it obscured the sun and affected the climates of Europe, the eastern sections of the United States, and Canada. It created cooler temperatures and severe crop failure. Many places had snow in June and frosty nights in July, August, and September. The year of 1816 was known as “the year without summer”. The cooler temperatures resulted in a severe and extensive famine. The prices of basic foods rose sharply across the affected areas. Many people resorted to begging, stealing, and travelling long distances in search of food. Diseases caused by malnutrition became widespread. In total, over 200,000 people died of starvation and disease. The aftermath of the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora was the worst of any volcanic eruption in recorded history. Unfortunately, volcano researchers say we can expect a similar eruption to occur within the next 1,000 years. While many people see manmade climate change as the most dangerous threat to the Earth, powerful volcanoes also threaten us with catastrophic climate disruption.

It’s a sound you will probably never hear, a sickened tree sending out a distress signal. But a group of scientists has heard the cries, and they think some insects also hear the trees and are drawn to them like vulture to a dying animal. Researchers with the US Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service fastened sensors to the bark of drought-stricken trees clearly heard distress calls. According to one of the scientists, most parched trees transmit their plight in the 50-hertz to 50-kilohertz range. (The unaided human ear can detect no more than 20 kilohertz). Red oak, maple, white pine, and birch all make slightly different sounds in the form of vibrations at the surface of the wood. The scientists think that the vibrations are created when the water columns inside tubes that run along the length of the tree break, a result of too little water following through them. These fractured columns send out distinctive vibration patterns. Because some insects communicate at ultrasonic frequencies, they may pick up the trees' vibration and attack the weakened trees. Researchers are now running tests with potted trees that have been deprived of water to see if the sound is what attracts the insects. “Water-stressed trees also smell differently from other trees, and they experience thermal changes, so insects could be responding to something other than sound”, one scientist said.

A. the vibrations produced by insects B. the mission of the U.S Forest Service C. the sound made by trees D. the effect of insects on trees.

A. insects B. vultures C. trees D. scientists Question 43: The word “parched” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
