Questions 26 - 36

The Sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its
center that convert hydrogen to helium. The Sun has existed in its present state for about 4
billion, 600 million years and is thousands of times larger than the Earth.
By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun's life will be
like. About 5 billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink and become hotter. The
surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of
thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the Sun will expand approximately 35 million

123 | M o d u l P e r s i a p a n A K P O L / A K M I L
miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the Sun. The Sun will
then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the Earth will become too hot for life to exist.
Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink.
After it shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The Sun may throw
off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova explosions as it changes from a red
giant to a white dwarf.
After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will
have lost its heat. Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf,
the Earth will be dark and cold. If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen onto the
Earth's surface.

26. What is the primary purpose of this passage?


A. To alert people to the dangers posed by the Sun

Questions 37 - 47

It is said that George Washington was one of the first to realize how important the
building of canals would be to the nation's development. In fact, before he became President,
he headed the first company in the United States to build a canal which was to connect the Ohio
and Potomac rivers. It was never completed, but it showed the nation the feasibility of canals.

125 | M o d u l P e r s i a p a n A K P O L / A K M I L
As the country expanded westward, settlers in western New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio
needed a means to ship goods. Canals linking natural waterways seemed to offer an effective
solution.
In 1791 engineers commissioned by the state of New York investigated the possibility
of a canal between Albany on the Hudson River and Buffalo on Lake Erie, which would link
the Great Lakes area with the Atlantic seacoast. It would avoid the mountains that served as a
barrier to canals from the Delaware and Potomac rivers.
The first attempt to dig the canal, to be called the Erie Canal, was made by private
companies, but only a comparatively small portion was built before the project was halted for
lack of funds. The cost of the project was an estimated five million dollars, an enormous amount
for those days. There was some on-again-off again Federal funding, but the War of 1812 put an
end to this. In 1817 DeWitt Clinton was elected Governor of New York and persuaded the state
to finance and build the canal. It was completed in 1825, costing two million dollars more than
expected.
The canal rapidly lived up to its sponsors' faith, quickly paying for itself through tolls.
It was far more economical than any other form of transportation at the time. It permitted trade
between the Great Lake region and East Coast, robbing the Mississippi River of much of its
traffic. It allowed New York to supplant Boston, Philadelphia, and other Eastern cities as the
chief center of both domestic and foreign commerce. Cities sprang up along the canal. It also
contributed in a number of ways to the North's victory over the South in the Civil War.
An expansion of the canal was planned in 1849. Increased traffic would undoubtedly
have warranted its construction had it not been for the development of the railroads.

37. Why does the author most likely mention George Washington in the first paragraph?
A. He was President at the time the Erie Canal was built.
B. He was involved in pioneering efforts to build canals.
C. He successfully opened the first canal in the United States.
D. He commissioned engineers to study the possibility of building the Erie Canal.

38. The word "feasibility" in line 4 is closest in meaning to


A. profitability C. possibility
B. difficulty D. capability

39. According to the passage, the Erie Canal connected the


A. Potomac and Ohio rivers
B. Hudson River and Lake Erie

B. They were seriously underdeveloped.
C. They had begun to compete with the Erie Canal for traffic.
D. They were weakened by the expansion of the canal.

Questions 48 – 50

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 vultures to a dying animal.
Researchers with the u.s. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service fastened sensors
to the bark of parched trees and clearly heard distress calls. According to one of the scientists,
most drought-stricken trees transmit their plight in the 50- to 500- 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 the length of the tree break, a result of too little water flowing through them. These
fractured columns send out distinctive vibration patterns. Because some insects communicate
at ultrasonic frequencies, they may pick up the trees'vibrations 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. "Waterstressed 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.

48. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?


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

Question Number 26 - 36

The time when humans crossed the Arctic land bridge from Siberia to Alaska seems
remote to us today, but actually represents a late stage in the prehistory of humans, an era when
polished stone implements and bows and arrows were already being used, and dogs had already
been domesticated.
When these early migrants arrived in North America, they found the woods and plains
dominated by three types of American mammoths. These elephants were distinguished from
today's elephants mainly by their thick, shaggy coats and their huge, upward-curving tusks.
They had arrived on the continent hundreds of thousands of years before their human followers.
The wooly mammoth in the North, the Columbian mammoth in middle North America. and the
imperial mammoth of the South, together with their distant cousins the mastodons, dominated
the land. Here, as in the Old World, there is evidence that humans hunted these elephants, as
shown by the numerous spear points found with mammoth remains.
Then, at the end of the Ice Age, when the last glaciers had retreated, there was a
relatively sudden and widespread extinction of elephants. In the New World, both mammoths
and mastodons disappeared. In the Old World, only Indian and African elephants survived.
Why did the huge, seemingly successful mammoths disappear? Were humans connected
with their extinction? Perhaps, but at that time, although they were cunning hunters, humans
were still widely scattered and not very numerous. It is difficult to see how they could have
prevailed over the mammoth to such an extent.

26. With which of the following is the passage primarily concerned'


A. Migration from Siberia to Alaska

Question Number 37 – 43

Just before and during World War I, a number of white musicians came to Chicago from
New Orleans playing in an idiom they had learned from blacks in that city. Five of them formed
what eventually became known as the Original Dixieland Band. They moved to New York in
1917 and won fame there. That year they recorded the first phonograph record identified as
jazz.
The first important recording by black musicians was made in Chicago in 1923 by King
Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, a group that featured some of the foremost jazz musicians of the
time, including trumpet player Louis Armstrong. Armstrong's dynamic trumpet style became
famous worldwide. Other band members had played in Fate Marable's band, which traveled up
and down the Mississippi River entertaining passengers on riverboats.
The characteristics of this early type of jazz, known as Dixieland jazz, included a complex
interweaving of melodic lines among the cornet or trumpet, clarinet, and trombone, and a steady
chomp-chomp beat provided by the rhythm section, which included the piano, bass, and drums.
Most bands used no written notations, preferring arrangements agreed on verbally.
Improvisation was an indispensable element. Even bandleaders such as Duke Ellington, who
provided his musicians with written arrangements, permitted them plenty to freedom to
improvise when playing solos.
In the late 1920's, the most influential jazz artists in Chicago were members of small bands
such as the Wolverines. In New York, the trend was toward larger groups. These groups
played in revues, large dance halls, and theaters. Bands would become larger still during the
next age of jazz, the Swing era.

Question Number 44 – 50

A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the astounding discovery that a sudden
increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects people in the way that a sudden increase
in crime does. Appleyard observed this by finding three blocks of houses in San Francisco that
looked much alike and had the same kind of middle-class and working-class residents, with
approximately the same ethnic mix. The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down
Octavia Street (LIGHT street, in Appleyard's terminology) while Gough Street (MEDIUM
street) was used by 8,000 cars daily, and Franklin Street (HEAVY street) had around 16,000
cars a day. Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia Street had in a day.
Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes, and soot, directly, and trash
secondarily. That is, the cars didn't bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated, residents
seldom picked it up. The cars, Appleyard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents
felt responsible for. Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes. Many Franklin Street
residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their
houses. Most families with children had already left.
Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash. They sat
on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had three times as many friends and twice
as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin.

144 | M o d u l P e r s i a p a n A K P O L / A K M I L
On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as
traffic increased. People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives. A
number of families had recently moved, and more were conSidering it. Those who were staying
expressed deep regret at the destruction of their community.

44. The word "astounding" in line 1 is closest in meaning to


A. startling C. dubious
B. disappointing D. alternative

45. The three streets mentioned in this passage are different in that
A. they are in different cities
B. the residents are of different ethnic backgrounds

B. 8,000 D. 20,000

47. All of the following are direct results of heavy traffic EXCEPT

Question Number 26 – 36

To date, Canada has produced only one classic children's tale to rank with Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland and the works of Mark Twain; this was Lucy Maud Montgomery's
Anne of Green Gables. Lucy Maud Montgomery was born in Clinton, Prince Edward Island.
Her mother died soon after her birth, and when her father went to Saskatchewan to assume a
business position, she moved in with her grandparents in Cavendish, Prince Edward Island.
There she went to school, and later qualified to be a teacher.
Montgomery wrote the Anne books while living in Cavendish and helping her
grandmother at the post office. The fIrst of the books, Anne of Green Gables, was published in
1908, and in the next three years she wrote two sequels. Like Montgomery, the heroine of the
book is taken in by an elderly couple who live in the fictional town of Avonlea, and
Montgomery incorporated many events from her life in Cavendish into the Anne books. In
1911, Montgomery married Ewan MacDonald, and the couple soon moved to Ontario, where
she wrote many other books. However, it was her first efforts that secured her prominence, and
the Anne books are still read all around the world. Her novels have helped create a warm picture
of Prince Edward Island's special character. Several movies, a television series, and a musical
play have been based on her tales, and today visitors scour the island for locations described in
the book.

Question Number 37 – 43

Certain animals have an intuitive awareness of quantities. They know without analysis
the difference between a number of objects and a smaller number. In his book The Natural
History of Selbourne (1786), the naturalist Gilbert White tells how he surreptitiously removed
one egg a day from a plover's nest, and how the mother laid another egg each day to make up
for the missing one. He noted that other species of birds ignore the absence of a single egg but
abandon their nests if more than one egg has been removed. It has also been noted by naturalists
that a certain type of wasp always provides five-never four, never six caterpillars for each of
their eggs so that their young have something to eat when the eggs hatch. Research has also
shown that both mice and pigeons can be taught to distinguish between odd and even numbers
of food pieces.
These and similar accounts have led some people to infer that creatures other than
humans can actually count. They also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to
numerical questions with the correct number of barks, or to horses that seem to solve arithmetic
problems by stomping their hooves the proper number of times.
Animals respond to quantities only when they are connected to survival as a species-as
in the case of the eggs-or survival as individuals-as in the case of food. There is no transfer to
other situations or from concrete reality to the abstract notion of numbers. Animals can "count"
only when the objects are present and only when the numbers involved are small-no more than
seven or eight. In lab experiments, animals trained to "count" one kind of object were unable to
count any other type. The objects, not the numbers, are what interest them. Animals' admittedly
remarkable achievements simply do not amount to evidence of counting, nor do they reveal
more than innate instincts, refmed by the genes of successive generations, or the results of
clever, careful conditioning by trainers.

Question 44 – 50

It would be hard to cite a development that has had more impact on American industry
than the Bessemer process of making steel. It made possible the production of low-cost steel

152 | M o d u l P e r s i a p a n A K P O L / A K M I L
and established the foundation of the modern steel industry. In many ways it was responsible
for the rapid industrialization of the United States that took place in the formative period of the
late 1800's.
The first Bessemer plant in the United States was built in Wyandotte, Michigan, in 1864,
near the end of the Civil War. It was capable of producing only 2 tons of steel ingots at a time.
The ingots were rolled into rails-the first steel rails made in the United States. Acceptance of
the process was initially slow. By 1870, the annual output of Bessemer steel was a mere 42
thousand tons. Production grew rapidly after about 1875, rising to 1.2 million tons in 1880,
when it exceeded that of wrought iron for the first time.
The rise of the US. steel industry in the last quarter of the 19th century was brought
about largely by the demand for Bessemer steel rails for the nation's burgeoning rail network.
Steel rails were far more durable than those made of iron. Spurred by this demand, the us. steel
industry became the largest in the world in 1886, when it surpassed that of Great Britain.
The Bessemer Process was the chief method of making steel until 1907, when it was
overtaken by the open-hearth process. By the 1950's, the Bessemer Process accounted for less
than 3% of the total U.S. production.

44. With what topic is this passage mainly concerned?


A. The history of metal-working
B. A comparison of the US. and British steel industries in the nineteenth century
C. The technical details of the Bessemer process
D. The effects of one method of making steel

45. According to the passage, the Bessemer process contributed to all of the following
EXCEPT
A. the establishment of the modern steel industry in the United States
B. the manufacture of weapons during the Civil War
C. lowered costs for steel
D. industrial development in the United States during an important period

46. What can be inferred from the passage about wrought iron?
A. At one time, more of it was produced than Bessemer steel.
B. It is a by-product of the Bessemer process.
C. It was once primarily imported from Great Britain.
D. It later became a more important product than Bessemer steel.

47. The word "burgeoning" in line 13 is closest in meaning to


A. overpowering C. expanding
B. planned D. vital

A. They lasted longer.
B. They did not have to be imported.
C. They could be installed faster.
D. They provided a smoother ride for passengers.

49. The word "Spurred" in line 14 is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. Driven C. Dominated
B. Challenged D. Broken

50. According to the passage, in what year did the steel industry of the United States begin to
produce more steel than that of Great Britain did?

Question Number 26 – 34

John James Audubon, nineteenth-century artist and naturalist, is known as one of the
foremost authorities on North American birds. Born in Les Cayes, Haiti, in 1785, Audubon was
raised in France and studied art under French artist Jacques-Louis David. After settling on his
father's Pennsylvania estate at the age of eighteen, he first began to study and paint birds.
In his young adulthood, Audubon undertook numerous enterprises, generally without a
tremendous amount of success; at various times during his life he was involved in a mercantile
business, a lumber and grist mill, a taxidermy business, and a school. His general mode of
operating a business was to leave it either unattended or in the hands of a partner and take off
on excursions through the wilds to paint the natural life that he saw. His business career came
to an end in 1819 when he was jailed for debt and forced to file for bankruptcy.
It was at that time that Audubon began to seriously pursue the dream of publishing a
collection of his paintings of birds. For the next six years he painted birds in their natural
habitats while his wife worked as a teacher to support the family. His Birds of America, which
included engravings of 435 of his colorful and lifelike watercolors, was published in parts

157 | M o d u l P e r s i a p a n A K P O L / A K M I L

Question 35 – 43

These stories of killer bees in the news in recent years have attracted a lot of attention
as the bees have made their way from South America to North America. Killer bees are reputed
to be extremely aggressive in nature, although experts say that their aggression may have been
somewhat Line inflated.
The killer bee is a hybrid-or combination-of the very mild European strain of honeybee
and the considerably more aggressive African bee, which was created when the African strain
was imported into Brazil in 1955. The African bees were brought into Brazil because their
aggression was considered an advantage: they were far more productive than their European
counterparts in that they spent a higher percentage of their time working and continued working
longer in inclement weather than did the European bees.
These killer bees have been known to attack humans and animals, and some fatalities
have occurred. Experts point out, however, that the mixed breed known as the killer bee is
actually not at all as aggressive as the pure African bee. They also point out that the attacks
have a chemical cause. A killer bee stings only when it has been disturbed; it is not aggressive
by nature. However, after a disturbed bee stings and flies away, it leaves its stinger embedded
in the victim. In the vicera attached to the embedded stinger is the chemical isoamyl acetate,
which has an odor that attracts other bees. As other bees approach the victim of the original
sting, the victim tends to panic, thus disturbing other bees and causing them to sting. The new
stings create more of the chemical isoamyl acetate, which attracts more bees and increases the
panic level of the victim. Killer bees tend to travel in large clusters or swarms and thus respond
in large numbers to the production of isoamyl acetate.

35. The subject of the preceding paragraph was most likely


A. ways of producing honey
B. stories in the media about killer bees
C. the chemical nature of killer bee attacks

159 | M o d u l P e r s i a p a n A K P O L / A K M I L

36. The main idea of this passage is that killer bees


A. have been in the news a lot recently
B. have been moving unexpectedly rapidly through the Americas
C. are not as aggressive as their reputation suggests
D. are a hybrid rather than a pure breed

37. The word "inflated" in line 4 could best be replaced by


A. Exaggerated C. Aired
B. Blown D. Burst

38. It can be inferred from the passage that the killer bee
A. traveled from Brazil to Africa in 1955
B. was a predecessor of the African bee
C. was carried from Africa to Brazil in 1955
D. did not exist early in the twentieth century

39. Why were African bees considered beneficial? A. They produced an unusual type of honey

Question Number 44 – 50

There is a common expression in the English language referring to a blue moon. When
people say that something happens "only once in a blue moon," they mean that it happens only
very rarely, once in a great while. This expression has been around for at least a century and a
half; there are references to this expression that date from the second half of the nineteenth
century.
The expression "a blue moon" has come to refer to the second full moon occurring in
any given calendar month. A second full moon is not called a blue moon because it is
particularly blue or is any different in hue from the first full moon of the month. Instead, it is
called a blue moon because it is so rare. The moon needs a little more than 29 days to complete
the cycle from full moon to full moon. Because every month except February has more than 29
days, every month will have at least one full moon (except February, which will have a full
moon unless there is a full moon at the very end of January and another full moon at the very
beginning of March). It is on the occasion when a given calendar month has a second full moon
that a blue moon occurs. This does not happen very often, only three or four times in a decade.
The blue moons of today are called blue moons because of their rarity and not because
of their color; however, the expression "blue moon" may have come into existence in reference
to unusual circumstances in which the moon actually appeared blue. Certain natural phenomena
of gigantic proportions can actually change the appearance of the moon from Earth. The
eruption of the Krakatao volcano in 1883 left dust particles in the atmosphere, which clouded
the sun and gave the moon a bluish tint. This particular occurrence of the blue moon may have
given rise to the expression that we use today. Another example occurred more than a century
later. When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, the moon again took on a blue
tint.

44. This passage is about


A. an idiomatic expression
B. an unusual color
C. a month on the calendar
D. a phase of the moon

45. How long has the expression "once in a blue moon" been around?
A. For around 50 years
B. For less than 100 years
C. For more than 100 years
D. For 200 years

Question Number 26 – 35

Niagara Falls, one of the most famous North American natural wonders, has long been
a popular tourist destination. Tourists today flock to see the two falls that actually constitute
Niagara Falls: the 173-foot-high Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the Niagara River in

165 | M o d u l P e r s i a p a n A K P O L / A K M I L
the Canadian Line province of Ontario and the 182-foot-high American Falls on the u.s. side of
the river in the state of New York. Approximately 85 percent of the water that goes over the
falls actually goes over Horseshoe Falls, with the rest going over American Falls.
Most visitors come between April and October, and it is quite a popular activity to take
a steamer out onto the river and right up to the base of the falls for a close-up view. It is also
possible to get a spectacular view of the falls from the strategic locations along the Niagara
River, such as Prospect Point or Table Rock, or from one of the four observation towers which
have heights up to 500 feet.
Tourists have been visiting Niagara Falls in large numbers since the 1800s; annual
visitation now averages above 10 million visitors per year. Because of concern that all these
tourists would inadvertently destroy the natural beauty of this scenic wonder, the state of New
York in 1885 created Niagara Falls Park in order to protect the land surrounding American
Falls. A year later Canada created Queen Victoria Park on the Canadian side of the Niagara,
around Horseshoe Falls. With thearea surrounding the falls under the jurisdiction of government
agencies, appropriate steps could be taken to preserve the pristine beauty of the area.

Questions Number 36 – 44

What is commonly called pepper in reality comes from two very different families of
plants. Black and white pepper both come from the fruit o£ the Piper nigrum, a vine with fruits
called peppercorns. The peppercorns turn from green to red as they ripen and finally blacken as
they dry Line out. The dried-out peppercorns are ground to obtain black pepper. White pepper,
which has a more subtle flavor than black pepper, comes from the same peppercorns as black

167 | M o d u l P e r s i a p a n A K P O L / A K M I L
pepper; to obtain white pepper, the outer hull of the peppercorn, the pericarp, is removed be£ore
the peppercorn is ground. Red and green peppers, on the other hand, come from a completely
different family from black and white pepper.
Red and green peppers are from the genus Capsicum. Plants of this type generally have
tiny white flowers and fruit which can be anyone of£ a number of colors, shapes, and sizes.
These peppers range in flavor from very mild and sweet to the most incredibly burning taste
imaginable. Bel! peppers are the most mild, while habaneros are the most burning.
Christopher Columbus is responsible for the present-day confusion over what a pepper
is. The Piper nigrum variety of pepper was highly valued for centuries, and high demand for
pepper by Europeans was a major cause of the fifteenth-century push to locate ocean routes to
the spicer 15) growing regions of Asia. When Columbus arrived in the New World in 1492, he
was particularly interested in finding black pepper because of the high price that it would
command in Europe. Columbus came across plants from the Capsicum family in use among the
people of the New World, and he incorrectly identified them as relatives of black pepper.
Columbus introduced the spicy Capsicum chili peppers to Europeans on his return from the
1492 voyage, and traders later spread '20) them to Asia and Africa. These Capsicum peppers
have continued to be called peppers in spite of the fact that they are not related to the black and
white pepper of the Piper nigrum family.

36. The purpose of this passage is to


A. explain why there is confusion today over peppers
B. provide the scientific classification of various types of peppers
C. demonstrate that it was Columbus who brought peppers to Europe D. classify the variety
of sizes, shapes, and colors of peppers

B. exchange D. change
38. According to the passage, both black and white peppers
A. come from different plants
B. change colors after they are ground
C. are ground from dried out peppercorns
D. have the same flavor

39. What part of the Piper nigrum is the pericarp?


A. The seed inside the fruit

Questions Number 20-31

Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10, the Apollo 11 astronauts made their
historic landing on the surface of the Moon. This momentous trip for humanity also provided
scientists with an abundance of material for study; from rock and soil samples brought back
from the Moon, Line scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of
the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its
composition.

169 | M o d u l P e r s i a p a n A K P O L / A K M I L
The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass
which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the
Moon. The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon
soil. Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.
In addition to the Moon soil, astronauts gathered two basic types of rocks from the
surface of the Moon: basalt and breccia. Basalt is a cooled and hardened volcanic lava
common to the Earth. Since basalt is formed under extremely high temperatures, the presence
of this type of rock is an indication that the temperature of the Moon was once extremely hot.
Breccia, the other kind of rock brought back by the astronauts, was formed during the impact
of falling objects on the surface of the Moon. This second type of rock consists of small pieces
of rock compressed together by the force of impact. Gases such as hydrogen and helium were
found in some of the rocks, and scientists believe that these gases were carried to the Moon by
the solar wind, the streams of gases that are constantly emitted by the Sun.

45. The paragraph preceding the passage most likely discusses


A. astronaut training
B. the inception of the Apollo space program
C. a different space trip
D. previous Moon landings

46. What is the subject of this passage?


A. The Apollo astronauts
B. Soil on the Moon

Many travelers prefer to buy foreign currency in their own


countries before they leave, both for convenience and as a hedge
against possible market fluctuations.
