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 . 
The first impressions are rather menacing. Visitors must sign in and show identification before being 
allowed into the building. Such tight security gives one the feeling of entering a prison or some other 
dangerous place. But what a deceptive first impression! Manhattan Comprehensive Night High School may 
be the friendliest, most caring institution in all of New York City. A school of last resort for many of its 
students, it is their best chance to turn their lives around, and make friends in the process. Manhattan Comp, 
as it is called, is the first full-time night high school in America. 
High school is compulsory until the age of sixteen in America, but many students drop out, either 
before or after they reach sixteen, and before receiving their high school diplomas. Until now, night 
education programmes for dropouts only provided the basics and then awarded an equivalency certificate. 
But now, Manhattan Comp offers the total high school experience, complete with a “lunch” break, physical 
education and clubs. The students receive an academic diploma, which they say is more helpful in getting a 
job than an equivalency certificate. More than sixty percent of Manhattan Comp's students go on to college. 
Most of the school's 450 students have either been expelled from or dropped out of other high 
schools. Some have been in two or three schools before this one. What seems to make this school work for 
these hardto- place students is the staff and, most importantly, the principal. All students call him Howard. 
As he walks through the building, he greets students by name, asks about their families or jobs and jokes 
with them about the lack of variety in the school cafeteria. 
Most students at Manhattan Comp are between eighteen and twenty-two years old. You must be at 
least seventeen to enrol. The classes run from 5 to 11 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays, with all-day 
enrichment programmes on Sundays which explore topics like playwriting art and video production. School 
terms are ten weeks long, which gives students the opportunity to take time off for family matters or jobs. 
Most students already have some academic credits from previous schools, so instead of the normal four years 
in high school, they spend between six months and two years at Manhattan Comp. 
(Adapted from “Oxford Exam Excellence” by Danuts Gryes et al.) 
Question 34: Which best serves as the title for the passage?

B. It ensures their admission to well-known colleges. 
4 
C. It reflects a more thorough schooling experience. 
D. It improves their chances of getting employed. 
Question 37: The phrase “expelled from” in paragraph 3 mostly means ________. 
A. invited to attend B. asked to stay C. forced to leave D. qualified to graduate 
Question 38: The word “they” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. 
A. schools B. years C. credits D. students 
Question 39: How long does it generally take students to complete the education at Manhattan Comp?

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 
Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only in the past 
two decades. The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the ecosystems with the highest 
known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance and fragility of biological 
diversity. The high rate of species extinctions in these environments is jolting, but it is important to 
recognize the significance of biological diversity in all ecosystems. As the human population continues to 
expand, it will negatively affect one after another of Earth‟s ecosystems. In terrestrial ecosystems and in 
fringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most common problem is habitat destruction. In most 
situations, the result is irreversible. Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other 
types of activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less than two centuries, by significantly 
reducing the variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the course of evolution. 
Certainly, there have been periods in Earth‟s history when mass extinctions have occurred. The 
extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic. There have also 
been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between species reached an extreme conclusion. 
Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely 
chance that determined which species survived and which died out. 
However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human species is 
altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment. In fact, there is wide agreement 
that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes themselves, that will lead to 
biological devastation. Life on Earth has continually been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes 
have occurred on Earth, but life needs time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within 
existing species and time for the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able to 
survive in new environments. 
Question 41: What does the passage mainly discuss? 
A. The cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs 
B. The variety of species found in tropical rain forests 
C. The time required for species to adapt to new environments 
D. The impact of human activities on Earth’s ecosystems 
Question 42: The word “critical” is closest in meaning to 
A. complicated B. interesting C. negative D. essential 
Question 43: The author mentions the extinction of the dinosaurs in the 2nd paragraph to emphasize 
that____ 
A. the cause of the dinosaurs’extinction is unknown 
B. actions by humans could not stop the irreversible process of a species’ extinction 
C. not all mass extinctions have been caused by human activity 
5 
D. Earth’s climate has changed significantly since the dinosaurs’extinction 
Question 44: The author mentions all of the following as examples of the effect of humans on the world’s 
Ecosystem EXCEPT____ 
A. habitat destruction in wetlands B. the introduction of new varieties of plant species 
C. damage to marine ecosystems D. destruction of the tropical rain forests 
Question 45: With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree? 
A. Human influence on ecosystems should not be a factor in determining public policy. 
B. Humans should be more conscious of the influence they have on ecosystems. 
C. The extinction of a few species is an acceptable consequence of human progress. 
D. Technology will provide solutions to problems caused by the destruction of ecosystems.
