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 35 to 44.
Life originated in the early seas less than a billion years after the Earth was formed. Yet another
three billions years were to pass before the first plants and animals appeared on the continents. Lifes
transition from the sea to the land was perhaps as much of an evolutionary challenge as was the
genesis of life.
What forms of life were able to make such a drastic change in lifestyle? The traditional view of
the first terrestrial organisms is based on megafossils - relatively large specimens of essential whole
plants and animals. Vascular plants, related to modern seed plants and ferns, left the first
comprehensive megafossil record. Because of this, it has been commonly assumed that the sequence
of terrestrialization reflected the evolution of 10 modern terrestrial ecosystems. In this view, primitive
vascular plants first colonized the margins of continental waters, followed by animals that fed on the
plants, and lastly by the animals that preyed on the plant-eaters. Moreover, the megafossils suggest
that terrestrial life appeared and diversified explosively near the boundary between the Silurian and
the Devonian periods, a little more than 400 million years ago.
Recently, however, paleontologists have been taking a closer look at sediments below this
Silurian- Devonian geological boundary. It turns out that some fossils can be extracted from these
sediments by putting the rock in an acid bath. The technique has uncovered new evidence from
sediments that were deposited near the shores of the ancient oceans - plant microfossils and
microscopic pieces of small animals. In many instances, the specimens are less than one-tenth of a
millimeter in diameter. Although they were entombed in the rocks for hundreds of millions of years,
many of the fossils consist of the organic remains of the organism.
These discovered fossils have not only revealed the existence of previously unknown organisms,
but have also pushed back these dates for the invasion of land by multicellular organisms. Our view
about the nature of the early plants and animal communities are now being revised. And with those
revisions come new speculations about the first terrestrial life-forms.
Question 35: The word drastic is closest in meaning to ____ ________
A widespread
B: radical
C: progressive
D: risky

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 45 to 54.
Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their
name from the Japanese expression for high water in a harbor. These waves are also referred to by
the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with tides. Scientists often
referred to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do result from undersea
seismic activity.
Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake
or volcano for example, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced. This sudden
shift of water sets off a series of waves. These waves can travel great distances at speeds close to

700 kilometers per hour. In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no more
than one or two meters. It is when they hit the shallow waters near the coast that they increase in
height, possibly up to 40 meters.
Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity.
Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis are Japan and Hawaii. Because
the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to
the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often come with little warning and can, therefore, prove
disastrous. Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands, however, originate thousands of miles
away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater distance to travel and the
inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time for warning of their imminent arrival.
Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii. In 1755, Europe experienced a
calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused a massive
tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon.
The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa
volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby
Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was
witnessed as far away as the English Channel.
Question 45:The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses
A tides
B: storm surges
C: tidal waves
D: underwater earthquakes
Question 46:: According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves
EXCEPT that A they are caused by sudden changes in high and low tides B: this
terminology is not used by the scientific community
C: they are the same as tsunamis
D: they refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves
Question 47: The word displaced in line 7 is closest in meaning to
A not pleased
B: located
C: moved
D: filtered
Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that tsunamis
A are often identified by ships on the ocean
B: generally reach heights greater than 40 meters
C: are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean
D: cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean
Question 49:In line 10, water that is shallow is NOT
A deep
B:
coastal
C: tidal
D: clear
Question 50:A main difference between tsunamis in Japan and in Hawaii is that tsunamis in Japan
are more likely to
A come from greater distances
B: originate in Alaska
C: arrive without warning
D: be less of a problem
Question 51:The possessive their in line 18 refers to
A the Hawaiian Islands

C: thousands of miles
D: the inhabitants of Hawaii
Question 52:A calamitous tsunami, in line 20, is one that is
A disastrous
B: expected
C: extremely calm
D: at fault

accompanied the Krakatoa volcano
A was filmed as it was happening

C: was not as strong as the tsunami in Lisbon D: might not be the greatest tsunami ever
Question 54:The passage suggests that the tsunami resulting from the Krakatoa volcano
