Questions 1 – 4 are based on the following passage.

Honeybees live in colonies with one queen running the whole hive. Worker honeybees are
all females and are the only bees most people ever see flying around outside of the hive .
They forage for food, build the honeycombs, and protect the hive. Many species still occur
in the wild, but honeybees are disappearing from hives due to colony collapse disorder.
Scientists are not sure what is causing this collapse.

Honeybees are important pollinators for flowers, fruits, and vegetables. They live on stored
honey and pollen all winter and cluster into a ball to conserve warmth. All honeybees are
social and cooperative insect. Members of the hive are divided into three types. Workers
forage for food (pollen and nectar from flowers), build and protect the hive, clean, and
circulate air by beating their wings. The queen's job is simple—she lays the eggs that will
spawn the hive's next generation of bees. There is usually only a single queen in a hive. If
the queen dies, workers will create a new queen by feeding one of the worker females a
special food called "royal jelly." This elixir enables the worker to develop into a fertile
queen. Queens regulate the hive's activities by producing chemicals that guide the behavior
of the other bees. Male bees are called drones—the third class of honeybee. Several
hundred drones live in each hive during the spring and summer, but they are expelled for
the winter months when the hive goes into a lean survival mode.

(E) Explore.

2. The sentence “if the queen dies, workers will create a new queen by feeding one of the
working female's a special food called” royal jelly” in paragraph 2 can best be restated as

female's a special food called” royal jelly”.

(B) Workers possibly create a new queen by feeding one of the worker female's a special
food called” royal jelly”.

(C) the queen is still alive; so workers cannot create a new queen by feeding one of the
worker female's a special food called” royal jelly”.
(D) workers cannot create a new queen by feeding one of the worker female's a special
food called” royal jelly” because the queen dies.

Questions 5-8 are based on the following passage.

The end of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century were
marked by the development of an international Art Nouveau style, characterized by
sinuous lines, floral and vegetable motifs, and soil evanescent coloration. The Art
Nouveau style was an eclectic one, bringing together elements Japanese art, motifs of
ancient culture, and natural forms. The glass objects of this style were elegant in outline,
although often deliberately distorted with pale or iridescent surface. A favored device of
the style was to imitate the iridescent surface seen on ancient glass that had been buried.
Much of the Art Nouveau glass produced during the years of its greatest popularity had
been generically termed “art glass”. Art glass was intended for decorating purposes and
relied for its effect on carefully chosen color combinations and innovative techniques.

France produced a number of outstanding exponents of the Art Nouveau style;

The Art Nouveau style was a major force in the decorative arts from 1895 until 1915,
although its influence continued throughout the mid-1920. It was eventually to be overtaken
by a new school of thought known as Functionalism that had present since the turn of the
century. At first restricted to a small avant-garde group of architects and designers.
Functionalism emerged as the dominant influence upon designers alters the First World War.
The basic tenet of the movement –that function should determine form –was not a new
concept. Soon a distinct aesthetic code evolved: form should be simple, surfaces plain, and
any ornament should be based on geometric relationships. This new design concept, coupled
with the sharp postwar reactions to the style and conventions of the preceding decades,
created an entirely new public taste which caused Art Nouveau types of glass to fall out of
favor. The new taste demanded dramatic effects of contrast stark outline, and complex
textural surfaces.

5. What is the main purpose of paragraph 2?

(A) To compare different Art Nouveau styles.

(B) To give examples of famous Art Nouveau artists.

(C) To explain why Art Nouveau glass was so popular in the United States.

(D) To show the impact Art Nouveau had on other cultures a round the world

(E) To describe how to make Art Nouveau styles.

6. Who is mostly interested in reading the passage?

(B) Scientist.

(C) Government
.
(D) Applied artist.

(E) Historians

7. What does the author mean by stating that “function should determine form”?
(A) A useful object should not be attractive.

(B) The purpose of an object should influence its form.

(C) The design of an object is considered more significant than its function.

(D) The form of an object should not include decorative elements.

(E) The purpose of an object should influence its form.

8. according to the passage one reason that functionalism became popular was that it

(A) Clearly distinguished between art and design.

(B) Appealed to people who liked complex painted designs.

(C) Reflected a common desire to break from the past.

(D) Was easily interpreted by the general public.

(F) Demanded dramatic effects of contrast, stark outline, and complex textural surfaces.

Questions 9 - 13are based on the following passage.

Agro ecologists do not always agree about what agro ecology is or should be in the long-
term. Different definitions of the term agro ecology can be distinguished largely by the
specificity with which one defines the term "ecology," as well as the term's potential political
connotations. Definitions of agro ecology, therefore, may be first grouped ac-cording to the
specific contexts within which they situate agriculture. Agro ecology is defined as "the study
of the relation of agricultural crops and environment." This definition refers to the "-
ecology" part of "agroecology" narrowly as the natural environment. Following this
definition, an agroecologist would study agriculture's various relationships with soil health,
water quality, air quality, meson- and micro-fauna, surrounding flora, environmental toxins,
and other envimornental contexts.

A more common definition of the word can be taken from Dalgaard et al., who refer to
agroecology as the study of the interactions between plants, animals, humans and the
environment within agricultural systems. Consequently, agroecology is inherently
multidisciplinary, including factors from agronomy, ecology, sociology, economics and
related disciplines, in this case, the '-ecology" portion of "agroecology is defined broadly to
include social, cultural, and economic contexts as well.

In the global south, the term often carries overtly political connotations. Such
political definitions of the term usually ascribe to it the goals of social and economic
justice, special attention, in this case, is often paid to the traditional farming knowledge
of indigenous populations. North American and European uses of the term sometimes
avoid the inclusion of such overtly political goals. In these cases, Agro ecology is seen
more strictly as a scantly as a scientific discipline with less specific social goals.

Questions 14 – 15 are based on the following passage.

Antibiotics are medicines that help stop infections caused by bacteria. They do this by killing
the bacteria or by keeping them from copying themselves or reproducing. The word antibiotic
means “against life.” Any drug that kills germs in your body is technically an antibiotic. But most
people use the term when they’re talking about medicine that is meant to kill bacteria. Most
bacteria that live in your body are harmless. Some are even helpful. Still, bacteria can infect
almost any organ.
Antibiotics are a powerful germ-fighting tool when used carefully and safely. But up to one-
half of all antibiotic use isn’t necessary. Overuse has led to antibacterial resistance. Bacteria adapt
over time and become “super bacteria” or “superbugs.” They change so that antibiotics no longer
work on them. They pose a big threat, because there aren’t any medicines to kill them.
14.'' They pose a big threat, because there aren’t any medicines to kill them'' (par. 2).
The bold word has similar meaning to …
(A) Improve.
(B) Create.
(C) Aim.
(D) Increase.
(E) Raise.
15. Antibiotics are a …. Germ-fighting tool when used carefully and safely. But up to one-half of
all antibiotic use isn’t necessary therefore you should not take them carelessly.
(A) Delicate
(B) Strong
(C) Minute
(D) Tenacious
(E) Viewless
