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 39 to 43.
Dolphins are one of the most intelligent species on the planet, which makes them a very
interesting animal to scientists. In their natural habitats, dolphins use various vocalization
techniques. They whistle and squeak to recognize members of their pod, identify and protect
their young, and call out warnings of danger. They also make clicking sounds used for
echolocation to find food and obstacles in dark and murky waters.
Amazingly, the whistling sound that the bottlenose dolphin makes has been found to have
a similar pattern to human language. They always make conversational sounds when they
greet each other. If you listen to dolphins' squeaks and squeals, it will sound like they are
having a conversation.
Dolphins usually use both sound and body language to communicate with each other. It is
through gesture and body language, however, that most of their communication with humans
comes. Dolphins can be trained to perform complicated tricks. This suggests they have a high
level of intelligence and communication capacity. If they work for a long time with a trainer,
they are able to recognize and understand human commands.
A lot of dolphin communication has been studied using dolphins in captive environments.
These studies have been criticized because some marine biologists believe that dolphins
living in aquariums or research centers cannot be considered "normal." Even so, most believe
that studying dolphin communication in captivity is useful for beginning to understand the
complexity of dolphin communication. After all, dolphins are one of the most intelligent
animals. Their ability to communicate is impressive and worthy of study.
Question 39. What would be the most suitable title for the passage?

A. Communications in dolphins
B. Intelligent mammals in captivity
C. Dolphins' social tendencies with humans

A. Their relationships are too personal with marine biologists.
B. They can't be considered accurate subjects for biological studies.
C. They can communicate exactly the same as humans do.
D. They easily demonstrate how dolphins act in the wild.
Question 42. All of the following are true about dolphin communication
EXCEPT____________
A. dolphins' squeals and squeaks sound conversational to the human ear
B. dolphins' clicking sounds are sometimes used to greet humans
C. communication using sounds and gestures occurs between dolphins
D. body language and gestures are used for communication with humans
Question 43. In line 17, the word “most” refers to ____________

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 44 to 50.
There are many theories of aging, but virtually all fall into the category of being hypotheses
with a minimum of supporting evidence. One viewpoint is that aging occurs as the body's
organ systems become less efficient. Thus failures in the immune system, hormonal system,
and nervous system could all produce characteristics that we associate with aging. Following
a different vein, many current researchers are looking for evidence at the cellular and sub
cellular level.
It has been shown that cells such as human fibroblasts (generalized tissue cells) grown in
culture divide only a limited number of times and then die. (Only cancer cells seem immortal in
this respect). Fibroblast cells from an embryo divide more times than those taken from an
adult. Thus some researchers believe that aging occurs at the cellular level and is part of the
cell's genetic makeup. Any event that disturbs the cell's genetic machinery such as mutation,
damaging chemicals in the cell's environment, or loss of genetic material, could cause cells to
lose their ability to divide and thus bring on aging. Other theories of aging look at different
processes. Chronological aging refers to the passage of time since birth and is usually
measured in years. While chronological age can be useful in estimating the average status of
a large group of people, it is a poor indicator of an individual person's status because there is
a tremendous amount of variation from one individual to the next in regard to the rate at which
biological age changes occur. For example, on the average, aging results in people losing
much of their ability to perform strenuous activities, yet some elderly individuals are excellent
marathon runners.
Another type of aging is cosmetic aging, which consists of changes in outward appearance
with advancing age. This includes changes in the body and changes in other aspects of a
person's appearance, such as the style of hair and clothing, the type of eyeglasses, and the
use of a hearing aid. Like chronological aging, it is frequently used to estimate the degree to
which other types of aging have occurred. However, it is an inaccurate indicator for either
purpose because of variation among individuals and because a person's appearance is
affected by many factors that are not part of aging, including illness, poor nutrition, and
exposure to sunlight

A. basic B. troublesome C. mental D. intense
Question 48. According to the passage, chronological aging is not a good indicator of an
individual’s status regarding aging because_____________ .
A. elderly people are often athletic
B. there is individual variation in the rate of biological aging
C. strenuous activities are not good measures of age
D. it is difficult to get accurate records of birth dates
Question 49. In the last paragraph, the word “this” refers to_____________
A. cosmetic aging B. type of aging C. outward appearance D. advancing age
Question 50. The author implies all of the following about cosmetic aging
EXCEPT_____________
A. It does not occur at the same rate for all people
B. It is a poor indicator of chronological age
C. Illness, poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight cause aging to occur
D. It is described by changes in outward appearance.
