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 29 to 33.
The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive force
that it was during the Vietnam era, a 2009 study suggests. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of
Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world. In 1969, a
Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.
Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive.
That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old, according
to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have observed
these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold.
First, the two largest areas of difference—technology and music—are less emotionally charged than
political issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in technology rather
than to view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the
older generation generally can relate to that desire.
Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as
superior to their own generation—clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't trust anyone
over thirty." According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in moral values, work
ethic and respect for others.

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 34 to 40.
More than 200 reindeer have died of starvation on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, with scientists
blaming their deaths on climate change. The wild deer carcasses were found on the Arctic islands this summer by
researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI), which said it had never logged so many deaths at once in 40
years of monitoring the animals’ population level. “It’s scary to find so many dead animals,” project leader Ashild
Onvik Pedersen told state broadcaster NRK. “This is an example of how climate change affects nature. It is just
sad.”
Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on earth, is thought to be warming quicker than
any other settlement on the planet, climate scientists warned earlier this year. The milder temperatures in the region
led to unusually heavy rainfall in December, leaving a thick layer of ice when the precipitation froze. This meant
the reindeer could not dig through the hardened tundra to reach the vegetation they graze on in their usual pastures,
the NPI said. Svalbard’s reindeer have been observed eating seaweed and kelp when food is scarce, but these are
less nutritious and cause them stomach problems.
A relatively high number of calves born last year increased the death toll, as the youngest and weakest are
often the first to die in harsh conditions. “Some of the mortality is natural because there were so many calves last
year. But the large number we see now is due to heavy rain, which is due to global warming,” said Ms Onvik
Pedersen.
A team of three scientists spent 10 weeks investigating population of the Svalbard reindeer earlier this year.
Researchers warned the decline of reindeer would cause unwanted plant species, currently kept in check by the
animals’ grazing, to spread across Arctic ecosystems in Europe, Asia and North America.
Arctic reindeer and caribou populations have declined 56 per cent in the last two decades, a report by the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said last year. The report said food security was partly to blame
for falling herd numbers, while warmer summers could also put the animals at greater risk of diseases spread by
flies and parasites. The average temperature in Longyearbyen has risen by 3.7C since 1900, more than three times
the global average increase of about 1C. In 2016, the entrance to the town’s “Doomsday” seed vault – which stores
specimens of almost all the world’s seeds – was flooded following heavy rainfall.

D. The reindeer here couldn’t stand the low temperature when the precipitation froze.

A. inappropriate B. insufficient C. abundant D. unlimited
Question 38. What does the word “these” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. seaweed and kelp B. Svalbard’s reindeer
