Although only a small percentage of the electromagnetic radiation that is emitted by the Sun is ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the amount that is emitted would be enough to cause severe damage to most forms of life on Earth were it all to reach the surface of the earth. Fortunately, all of the Suns ultraviolet radiation does not reach the earth because of a layer of oxygen, called the ozone layer, encircling the earth in the stratosphere at an altitude of about 15 miles above the earth. The ozone layer absorbs much of the Suns ultraviolet radiation and prevents it from reaching the earth. Ozone is a form of oxygen in which each molecule consists of three atoms (O3) instead of the two atoms (O2) usually found in an oxygen molecule. Ozone forms in the stratosphere in a process that is initiated by ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. UV radiation from the Sun splits oxygen molecules with two atoms into free oxygen atoms, and each of these unattached oxygen atoms then joins up with an oxygen molecule to form ozone. UV radiation is also capable of splitting up ozone molecules; thus, ozone is constantly forming, splitting, and reforming in the stratosphere. When UV radiation is absorbed during the process of ozone formation and reformation, it is unable to reach Earth and cause damage there. Recently, however, the ozone layer over parts of the earth has been diminishing. Chief among the culprits in the case of the disappearing ozone, those that are really responsible, are the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). CFCs meander up from Earth into the stratosphere, where they break down and release chlorine. The released chlorine reacts with ozone in the stratosphere to form chlorine monoxide (ClO) and oxygen (O2). The chlorine then becomes free to go through the cycle over and over again. One chlorine atom can, in fact, destroy hundreds of thousands of ozone molecules in this repetitious cycle. Question 1: According to the passage, ultraviolet radiation from the Sun A. is causing serve damage to the earths ozone layer B. is only a fraction of the Suns electromagnetic radiation C. creates electromagnetic radiation D. always reaches the earth Question 2: Look at the word encircling in paragraph 1.

Hundreds of thousands of ozone molecules can be destroyed by only one chlorine atom. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. The 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 aggression may have been somewhat inflated. The killer bees is a hybrid 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 as 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 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 disturbed bee stings and flies away, it leaves its stinger embedded in the victim. In the viscera attached to the embedded stinger is the chemical amyl 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 amyl acetate, which attracts other 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 amyl acetate. Question 11: 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 D. the creation of the killer bee Question 12: 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 Question 13: The word inflated in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by
