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.
In the twentieth century, people demand on unlimited energy to power their everyday lives. A wide range of
energy-run devices and modern conveniences are taken for granted, and although it may seem that we will
never be in danger of living without those conveniences, the fact is that many supplies of energy are dwindling
rapidly. Scientists are constantly searching for new sources of power to keep modern society running. Whether
future populations will continue to enjoy the benefits of abundant energy will depend on the success of this
research.
Coal, oil, and natural gas supply modern civilization with most of its power. However, not only are supplies
of these fuels limited, but they are a major source of pollution. If the energy demands of the future are to be met
without seriously harming the environment, existing alternative energy sources must be improved or further
explored and developed. These include nuclear, water, solar, wind, and geothermal power, as well as energy
from new, nonpolluting types of fuels. Each of these alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.
Nuclear power plants efficiently produce large amounts of electricity without polluting the atmosphere;
however, they are costly to build and maintain, and they pose the daunting problem of what to do with nuclear
wastes. Hydroelectric power is inexpensive and environmentally safe, but impractical for communities located
far from moving water. Harnessing energy from tides and waves has similar drawbacks. Solar power holds
great promise for the future but methods of collecting and concentrating sunlight are as yet inefficient, as are
methods of harnessing wind power.
Every source of energy has its disadvantages. One way to minimize them is to use less energy. Conservation
efforts coupled with renewable energy resources, such as a combination of solar, water, wind, and geothermal
energy and alternative fuels, such as alcohol and hydrogen, will ensure supplies of clean, affordable energy for
humanity’s future.

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.
For many people, mushroom are strange, colorless, incomprehensible plants that should be avoided.
Quaint tales and scary stories surround mushrooms become some are extremely poisonous. In reality, however,
mushrooms are fungi that are simple plants without developed roots, leaves, stems, flowers, or seeds. They
grow in wetlands, grassy meadows, and woods. Certain types of mushrooms are delicious and are included as
ingredients in many recipes and trendy snacks. For example, morels are considered one of the choicest foods,
and truffles, related to morels, are highly prized in Europe. Their shape is tube-like, and they remain entirely
underground, a foot or more below the surface. In the old days, dogs and pigs were specially trained to hunt
them by scent.
Mushrooms stand out among other plants because they have no chlorophyll and cannot generate their own
nourishment. The part of the fungus that rises above the ground is the fruiting body, and the vegetative part that
produces growth is hidden under the ground. It can be usually dug up in the form of dense, white tangled
filaments, which, depending on the food supply and moisture, can live for hundreds of years. In fact,
mushrooms, as well as the rest of the fungus genus species, are one of the few remaining simple plants that are
believed to be among the oldest living organisms. When their environment is not conductive to growth,
filaments stop proliferating and can lie dormant for dozens of years.
Although mushrooms are rich in flavor and texture, they have little food value. Picking mushrooms
requires a thorough knowledge of environments where they are most likely to grow and an ability to tell
between edible and poisonous plants. Most mushrooms thrive in temperatures from 680 to 860 (F) with plenty
of moisture, and nearly complete darkness produces the best crop. The entire mushroom should be picked, the
stem, the cap, and whatever part that is underground. Brightly colored mushroom caps usually indicate that the
plant is not fit for consumption, and the more the mushroom attracts attention, the more poisonous it is.
Mushrooms with beautiful red or orange spotted caps that grow under large trees after a good rain are
particularly poisonous. If milky or white juices seep from a break in the body of plant, chances are it should not
be picked. Old mushrooms with brown caps are also not very safe.
Question 36. With which of the following statements is the author of the passage most likely to agree?
A. In the old days, when the food was scarce, people chose mushrooms as food.

D. Mushrooms have different forms of roots, stems, and leaves.

A. morels B. foods C. truffles D. morels and truffles
Question 40. The word “tell” is closest in meaning to ___________
A. narrate B. distinguish C. say D. see
