SECTION 2 : READING
Passage A
Secondhand smoke is the smoke that is exhaled or that comes from the burning end of a
cigarette, pipe, or cigar. Secondhand smoke can come in through cracks in the walls. It can
hang around in hallways and doorways where people have been smoking. Breathing someone
else’s smoke can be deadly, especially if you live or work in a place where people smoke.
That is why it is so important for smokers to go all the way outside if they want a cigarette.
When one person smokes inside, it can cause problems for everyone else. Children who are
around tobacco smoke in their homes have more health problems like asthma and ear
infections. They are sicker and stay in bed more. They miss more school days than children
whose homes are smoke-free. Babies who live in homes with secondhand smoke are more
likely to die as infants than other babies.

Passage B
The first conclusive evidence on the danger of passive smoking came from Takeshi
Hirayama’s study in 1981 on lung cancer in non smoking Japanese women married to men
who smoked. Although the tobacco industry immediately launched a multi million dollar
campaign to discredit the evidence, dozens of further studies have confirmed the link.
Research then broadened into other areas and new scientific evidence continues to
accumulate. The risk of lung cancer in nonsmokers exposed to passive smoking is increased
by between 20 and 30 percent, and the excess risk of heart disease is 23 percent. Children are
at particular risk from adults’ smoking. Adverse health effects include pneumonia and
bronchitis, coughing and wheezing, worsening of asthma, middle ear diseases, and

possibly neuro-behavioural impairment and cardiovascular diseases in adulthood. A pregnant

In their latest paper, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, Prof. Philip
Munday and colleagues report world-first evidence that high CO2 levels in sea water disrupts
a key brain receptor in fish, causing marked changes in their behavior and sensory ability.
They began by studying how baby clown and damsel fishes performed alongside their
predators in CO2 enriched water. They found that, while the predators were somewhat
affected, the baby fish suffered much higher rates of attrition.

“Our early work showed that the senses of smell of baby fish was harmed by higher
CO2 in the water, meaning they found it harder to locate a reef to settle on or detect the
warning smell of a predator fish. But we suspected there was much more to it than the loss of
ability to smell, “ says Prof. Munday. The team then examined whether fish’s senses of
hearing which are used to locate and hone in on reefs at night, and avoid them during the day
was affected. “ The answer is, yes it was. They were confused and no longer avoided reef
sounds during the day. Being attracted to reef during daylight would make them easy meat
for predators”

Their work showed the fish also tended to lose their natural instinct to turn left or
right which is an important factor in schooling behaviour which also makes them more
vulnerable, as lone fish are easily eaten by predators. Prof. Munday further explains, “All this
led us to suspect it wasn't simply damage to their individual senses that was going on -but
rather, that higher levels of carbon dioxide were affecting their whole central nervous
system”.

26. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage ?

A. To investigate the increase of carbon dioxide level in sea water.
B. To contrast the influence of carbon dioxide on predators and fish.
C. To predict the impacts of poor senses of fishes on coral reefs.
D. To inform the effects of high carbon dioxide in sea water on fish.
E. To argue over the agility of fish exposed to high carbon dioxide.
27. Paragraphs 2 and 3 are related in that the first ... .
A. argues for causes; the latter deals with conclusion.
B. Describes loss of senses; the latter loss of reactions.
C. Deals with causes; the latter presents further evidence.
D. Theorizes the role of O2; the latter describes the effect.
E. Lists the results of the study; the latter explains the results.
