Q1. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage

A snow leopard roars in the high mountains of Asia. A black rhinoceros gallops across the plains of Africa. A grizzly bear hunts for
sh in a North American river. A mother blue whale and her calf glide through the deep waters of the ocean.
All of these animals share the Earth with us. They fascinate us with their beauty, their grace, and their speed. We love observing
their behavior, and learning more about their habits. But just loving them is not enough. All of these animals are endangered. Many
of them have died, and without special care, they may someday disappear from the Earth.
Why is it important to care for animals like these, One reason is to protect the balance of life on Earth. Another reason is the beauty
of the animals themselves. Each species of animal is special. Once it is gone, it is gone forever.
Africa was once lled with an abundance of wild animals. But that is changing fast. One of these animals, the black rhinoceros,
lives on the plains of Africa. It has very poor eyesight and a very bad temper! Even though the black rhino is powerful, and can be
dangerous, its strength can?t always help it to escape hunters. Some people think that the rhino's horn has magical powers, and
many hunters kill rhinos for their valuable horns. This has caused the black rhino to be placed on the endangered species list.
The elephant seems to represent all that is strong and wild in Africa. It once had no natural enemies, but is now endangered, killed
for its ivory tusks.
The fastest land animal, the cheetah, also lives in Africa. It, too, is becoming extinct as people take over more and more of the land
that is the cheetah's natural habitat.
Imagine Africa without the powerful rhino, the gentle, intelligent elephant, or the lightning quick cheetah. Once they are gone, they
are gone forever.
Wherever people are careless about the land, there are endangered species.
Grizzly bears like to wander great distances. Each bears needs up to 1,500 square miles of territory to call its homeland. Today,
because forests have been cleared to make room for people, the grizzly's habitat is shrinking and the grizzly is disappearing. It joins
other endangered North American animals, such as the red wolf and the American crocodile.
In South America, destruction of the rain forest threatens many animals. Unusual mammals, such as the howler monkey and the
three-toed sloth, are endangered. Beautiful birds like the great green macaw and the golden parakeet are also becoming extinct.
They're losing their homes in the rain forest, and thousands die when they are caught and shipped off to be sold as exotic pets.
The giant panda of Asia is a fascinating and unique animal. Yet there are only about 1,000 still living in the wild. The giant panda's
diet consists mainly of the bamboo plant, so when the bamboo forests die, so does the panda. China is now making an effort to
protect these special creatures from becoming extinct.
Asia's big cats are also in trouble. The exotic snow leopard lives high in the mountains. Even there, it faces the loss of its natural
habitat, and hunters who kill it for its fur. The tiger, the largest of all the big cats, is hunted merely for sport.
Ocean-dwelling animals are in danger of extinction as well. The blue whale is the largest animal in the world. It weighs up to
390,000 pounds. Whale hunting and pollution are this species, greatest enemies.
Unfortunately, it is people who cause many of the problems that animals face. We alter and pollute their habitats. We hunt them for
skins, tusks, furs, and horns. We destroy animals that get in the way of farming or building. And we remove them from their natural
habitats and take them home as pets.
What can you do to help endangered animals Learn as much as you can about them. The more you know, the more you can help.
Make an effort to support zoos and wildlife groups. Many zoos breed endangered animals, helping to ensure that they will continue
to live on. Contribute to groups, such as the National Wildlife Federation and the Sierra Club, that work hard to protect animals. You
can also be a smart shopper and never buy a pet that has been raised in the wilderness.
The world is made up of many living things, and each thing is dependent on the others to survive. If we allow even one species on
Earth to become extinct, it has an impact on other living things and changes our world. When we mention any endangered wild
animals, let?s hope that we never again have to say, "Gone forever."
Which of the following is NOT an opinion?
A. It is important for us to take care of endangered animals.
B. The black rhinoceros is the most frightening animal in Africa.
C. The fastest land animal, the cheetah, also lives in Africa.
D. If we don't protect endangered animals now, we will regret it in the future.

Q2. Read the paragraph given and choose the best option that suits the question.</br>Ever since I arrived at the college last week, I've
been shocked by the poor behavior of the
students. The student population is completely lacking in proper social skills.</br></br> Which of the following, if true, would
weaken the above conclusion?

Students who are away from their parents often exhibit rude behavior.

The college numbers over 50,000 students

The narrator is a student and has not interacted with many students.

Social skills should not be expected of college students.

Q3. Read the paragraph given and choose the best option that suits the question.</br>
The body of anyone infected by virus X will, after a week, produce antibodies to ght the virus; the antibodies will increase in
number for the next year or so. There is now a test that reliably indicates how many antibodies are present in a person's body. If
positive, this test can be used during the rst year of infection to estimate to within a month how long that person has had the
virus.</br></br>Which one of the following conclusions is best supported by the statements above?

Antibodies increase in number only until they have defeated the virus.

Antibodies are produced only for viral infections that cannot be fought by any
other body defenses.

If a person remains infected by virus X inde nitely, there is no limit to the

number of

Anyone infected by virus X will for a time fail to exhibit infection if tested by
the antibody test.

Q4. Read the paragraph given and choose the best option that suits the question.</br> Historically, famines have generally been
followed by periods of rising wages, because when a labor force is diminished, workers are more valuable in accordance with the
law of supply and demand. The Irish potato famine of the 1840s is an exception; it resulted in the death or emigration of half of
Ireland's population, but there was no signi cant rise in the average wages in Ireland in the following decade.</br></br>Which one
of the following, if true, would LEAST contribute to an explanation of the exception to the generalization?

Improved medical care reduced the mortality rate among able-bodied adults
in the

Eviction policies of the landowners in Ireland were designed to force

emigration of the elderly and in rm, who could not work, and to retain a high
percentage of able-bodied workers

Advances in technology increased the ef ciency of industry and agriculture,

and so allowed maintenance of economic output with less demand for labor.

The birth rate increased during the decade following the famine, and this
compensated for much of the loss of population that was due to the famine.

Q5. Read the paragraph given and choose the best option that suits the question.</br>The Japanese economic model created strong
domestic industries through subsidies from its Ministry of Trade and by closing off competitive foreign rms to its domestic
market. This strategy promised to help economic growth by incubating domestic industries. New Japanese industries could count
on a known local demand and would be protected from competition by tariffs and other barriers. The program could reduce the
amount of imports and therefore improve the nation's balance of trade.</br></br>Which of the following, based on the passage
above, and is a weakness in this economic strategy?

A protectionist policy will create animosity among other nations.

Fast growth of small industries will create a class of millionaires and increase the
inequality of income.

Subsidies and import constraints keep domestic prices high and impose a
burden on consumer

Quotas are more regressive than tariffs

Q6. Read the paragraph given and choose the best option that suits the question.</br>Sally has never received a violation from the
Federal Aviation Administration during her
16-year ying career. Sally must be a great pilot.</br></br>
Which of the following can be said about the reasoning above?

The de nitions of the terms create ambiguity

The argument uses circular reasoning.

The argument works by analogy.

The argument is built upon hidden assumptions.

Q7. Read the paragraph given and choose the best option that suits the question.</br>Lou observes that if ight 409 is canceled, then
the manager could not possibly arrive in time for the meeting. But the ight was not canceled. Therefore, Lou concludes, the
manager will certainly be on time. Evelyn replies that even if Lou's premises are true, his argument is fallacious. And therefore, she
adds, the manager will not arrive on time after all.</br></br>Which of the following is the strongest thing that we can properly say
about this discussion?

Evelyn is mistaken in thinking Lou?

s argument to be fallacious, and so her own conclusion is unwarranted.

Evelyn is right about Lou's argument, but nevertheless her own conclusion is
unwarranted.

Since Evelyn is right about Lou's argument, her own conclusion is well
supported.

Since Evelyn is mistaken about Lou's argument, her own conclusion must be
false.

Q8. Read the paragraph given and choose the best option that suits the question.</br>No national productivity measures are available
for underground industries that may exist but remain unreported. On the other hand, at least some industries that are run entirely by
self-employed industrialists are included in national productivity measures.</br></br>
From the information given above, it can be validly concluded that

/
 There are at least some industries run entirely by self-employed industrialists
that are underground industries

No industries that are run entirely by self-employed industrialists operate

underground

There are at least some industries other than those run entirely by self-
employed industrialists that are underground industries

There are at least some industries run entirely by self-employed industrialists

that are not underground industries

Q9. Read the paragraph given and choose the best option that suits the question.</br> According to the National Agricultural Aviation
Society (NAAS), without the use of crop protection products to control insects, weeds, and diseases, crop yields per acre will drop
by more than 50 percent. The rst aerial application of insecticide occurred in 1921, and it was a huge success. By contrast, in
today's economy all aircraft that are classi ed as aerial applicators do more than just apply insecticide; today, they also spread
seed and apply fertilizer.</br></br>From the information given above it CANNOT be validly concluded that

In today's economy, if an aerial applicator is used, then it will be able to

spread seed and to apply fertilizer

According to the NAAS, if crop yields per acre never drop by more than 50
percent, then crop protection products have been used to control insects,
weeds, and diseases

In today's economy, any aircraft that cannot be used to apply fertilizer cannot be
classi ed as an aerial applicator

According to the NAAS, if crop yields per acre drop by more than 50 percent,
then crop protection products have not been used to control insects, weeds,
and diseases.

Q10. Read the paragraph given and choose the best option that suits the question.</br>Although most of the fastest growing jobs in
today?s economy will require a college degree, many of the new jobs being created-from home health aide to desktop publisher-
require knowledge other than that gained from earning a degree. For workers in those jobs, good basic skills in reading,
communication, and mathematics play an important role in getting a job and developing a career.</br></br>From the information
given above it can be validly concluded that, in today's economy,

Skills in reading, communication, and mathematics play an important role in

developing a career as a desktop publisher

The majority of the new jobs being created require knowledge other than that
gained from earning a college degree

A job as a home health aide will rely more on communication skills than on
basic skills in reading and mathematics

If a job is one of the fastest growing jobs, it will require a college degree

Q31. The rst of the Great Debates, between Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts and the incumbent Vice President Richard
Nixon on September 26, 1960, centered around domestic issues. The topic of the next debate, on October 7, was a clash over U.S.
policy regarding two small islands off the Chinese coast, and on October 13, this controversy continued. On October 21, the nal
debate, the candidates focused on American/Cuban relations. Few of the 70 million viewers could have fathomed what this rst?
ever televised presidential debate augured, not only for this speci c series of debates, but more importantly for the preeminent role
the edgling medium would play in the future of the political arena. A pallid Nixon arrived at the Chicago CBS studios after a
grueling day of campaigning. The previous August a knee infection had sidelined him. He was still twenty pounds underweight, and
he perspired profusely in an ill? tting shirt. Moreover, he declined makeup to burnish his hospital pallor. The freshly?painted studio
backdrop had dried to an ashen hue that obscured his matching suit. The Democratic contender by contrast exuded a robust glow
after a month of campaigning in California. He had spent his day rehearsing potential questions and relaxing. An aide later
admitted that he supplemented his natural glow with a smidge of makeup. He was t, trim, and con dent. Despite the remarkably
similar agendas and arguments of the Republican and the Democrat, TV viewers unequivocally believed Kennedy to be the victor ?
whereas people who had followed the debates on the radio held the opposite opinion. The age of TV had arrived, and the
subsequent party shuf e proved the undeniable potency of television.</br></br> According to the passage, which of the following
was true of Richard Nixon?
/
 He had a ve o?clock shadow during the rst debate

He wore a brown suit during the rst debate

He warned of the impending Cuban crisis

He lost his job after the election.

The Democrat beat the Republican in the 1960 election

Nixon was more prepared for the rst debate than Kennedy

Q34. The Columbian Exchange was the "exchange of plants, animals, foods, human
populations (including slaves) communicable diseases, and ideas between the Eastern and Western hemispheres that occurred
after 1492," according to Wikipedia. The term "Columbian Exchange," coined in 1972 by historian Alfred Crosby, took hold and
became not only standard shorthand for the phenomenon which it exempli ed, but also a perspective for witnessing societal and /
 ecological events. When Christopher Columbus made landfall with his crew in the Bahamas in October 1492, two worlds with
separate evolutionary histories met. When Europeans began to settle America's east coast, they brought with them and cultivated
familiar crops "wheat and apples" as well as familiar weeds, such as dandelion and chickweed. In the 1600s, they introduced cattle
and horses, which ourished in the New World climate. Devastating diseases were introduced to the American population which
had nonresistance to them. John R. McNeill, professor of history at Georgetown University, points out that "when the rst
inhabitants of the Americas arrived across the Bering land bridge between 20,000 and 12,000 years ago, they brought few diseases
with them" they had no domesticated animals, the original source of human diseases such as smallpox and measles. In addition,
as they passed from Siberia to North America, the rst Americans had spent many years in extreme cold, which eliminated many of
the disease-causing agents that might have traveled with them." Consequently, between1492 and 1650, over 90% of the Native
American population died in epidemic after epidemic of smallpox, measles, mumps, whooping cough, in uenza, chicken pox, and
typhus. The loss of labor caused by pathogens indirectly led to the establishment of African slavery among European immigrants in
the Americas, resulting in the importation of malaria and yellow fever from
Africa, causing even more destruction of the Native American population. The export of American ora and fauna did not
revolutionize the Old World as the in ux of European agriculture altered the New World ecosystem. According to Crosby, "the New
World's great contribution to the Old is in crop plants' Maize, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, various Squashes, chilies, and
manioc" augmented and invigorated the European cuisine. Very few New World creatures traversed the ocean-the muskrat, the gray
squirrel, and a few others, but they did not precipitate large scale changes in Old World ecosystems. Although some diseases
made the ocean voyage from New World to Old, they did not have appreciable effects on the European population. Crosby stated

1988, he summarized his long view of the encounter in this way: "My point is that the impact of the Encounter is so massive that

Q35. The Columbian Exchange was the "exchange of plants, animals, foods, human
populations (including slaves) communicable diseases, and ideas between the Eastern and Western hemispheres that occurred
after 1492," according to Wikipedia. The term "Columbian Exchange," coined in 1972 by historian Alfred Crosby, took hold and
became not only standard shorthand for the phenomenon which it exempli ed, but also a perspective for witnessing societal and
ecological events. When Christopher Columbus made landfall with his crew in the Bahamas in October 1492, two worlds with
separate evolutionary histories met. When Europeans began to settle America's east coast, they brought with them and cultivated
familiar crops "wheat and apples" as well as familiar weeds, such as dandelion and chickweed. In the 1600s, they introduced cattle
and horses, which ourished in the New World climate. Devastating diseases were introduced to the American population which
had nonresistance to them. John R. McNeill, professor of history at Georgetown University, points out that "when the rst
inhabitants of the Americas arrived across the Bering land bridge between 20,000 and 12,000 years ago, they brought few diseases
with them" they had no domesticated animals, the original source of human diseases such as smallpox and measles. In addition,
as they passed from Siberia to North America, the rst Americans had spent many years in extreme cold, which eliminated many of
the disease-causing agents that might have traveled with them." Consequently, between1492 and 1650, over 90% of the Native
American population died in epidemic after epidemic of smallpox, measles, mumps, whooping cough, in uenza, chicken pox, and
typhus. The loss of labor caused by pathogens indirectly led to the establishment of African slavery among European immigrants in
the Americas, resulting in the importation of malaria and yellow fever from
Africa, causing even more destruction of the Native American population. The export of American ora and fauna did not
revolutionize the Old World as the in ux of European agriculture altered the New World ecosystem. According to Crosby, "the New
World's great contribution to the Old is in crop plants' Maize, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, various Squashes, chilies, and
manioc" augmented and invigorated the European cuisine. Very few New World creatures traversed the ocean-the muskrat, the gray
squirrel, and a few others, but they did not precipitate large scale changes in Old World ecosystems. Although some diseases
made the ocean voyage from New World to Old, they did not have appreciable effects on the European population. Crosby stated
that, although some deaths were attributed to ailments from America, ?The total is insigni cant compared to Native American
losses to smallpox alone.? In Crosby?s original work, he eschewed ideological statements. He reminded his readers that neither
the Old nor New World was inferior or superior to the other; the encounter between two worlds was fundamentally an exchange. By
1988, he summarized his long view of the encounter in this way: "My point is that the impact of the Encounter is so massive that
we should consider it with the same sense of scale as we do events connected with the endings and beginnings of the geological
periods and eras and their in uence on the direction of evolution on the planet."</br></br> It can be inferred from the passage that

Slaves brought to American from Africa had more resistance to European

diseases than Native Americans did.

New World creatures were unable to thrive in the climate of the Old World.

/
 New World pathogens had no effect on the people of the Old World.

Most human diseases were introduced to humans by animal populations.

Q36. The terms intelligence augmentation and intelligence ampli cation evoke images of human beings with computer chips embedded
in their skulls or bizarre accoutrements attached to their heads. However, according to an article entitled Get Smart by Jamais
Cascio, human beings' ability to augment their intelligence is precisely the prowess which has empowered us to survive "a series of
convulsive glacial events" evinced by the last ice age. Neurophysiologist William Calvin asserts that the human species continues
to evolve cognitively and to create its own cognitive evolution in two basic ways: external and internal. Cascio states that humans
have been externally augmenting their intelligence for millennia. By developing written language, we boosted our capacity to share
information over space and time. Other advancements, such as agricultural and industrial technologies, reduced the exigencies of
manual labour. Current external digital systems augment human intelligence by allowing us to perform tasks that would be
unfeasible with recourse only to the rational skills of a singular human brain. Cascio cites as examples the "powerful simulations
and massive data sets (which) allow physicists to visualize, understand, and debate models of an 11-dimension universe, real-time
data from satellites, global environmental databases, and high-resolution models (which) allow geophysicists to
recognize the subtle signs of long-term changes to the planet, and similar man-made interactions which have the functional effect
of augmenting human intelligence. Conceivable potential software could incorporate individual "attention lters" or "focus
assistants" which would discern and highlight your individual preferences in a computer display, permitting you
to focus and direct your computer searches more ef ciently than you do now. It could incorporate individualized planning and
foresight systems which could allow people to play "what-if" with their life choices. Such systems could co-evolve with people to
produce intimate technologies which would become "something akin to collaborative intuition," through web based information
systems with personalized components, according to Cascio.</br>Somewhat more problematic in social terms might be
pharmacological intelligence augmentation, evoking Brave New World nightmares "pharmaceutically placated people tranquilized
to zombie" like subservience to the collective and a central bureaucracy dedicated to its own continued survival. However, as with
external cognitive augmentation, the future has arrived in the form of, for example, ADD drugs, pharmaceutical agents which
mitigate sleep disorders, and antidepressants, all of which enhance human problem solving ability and cognitive ef ciency.
According to Cascio, "people who don?t know about (such drugs) or don't want to use them will face stiffer competition from
people who do. From the perspective of a culture immersed in athletic doping wars, the use of such drugs may seem like cheating.
From the perspective of those who nd they're much more productive using this form of enhancement,
it's no more cheating than getting a faster computer or a better education." Cognitive
ampli cation, whether by external or internal means, may constitute evolution, if Calvin's assertion is correct. Some societies may
readily embrace it, while others may shy away. As science ction writer William Gibson observes, "The future is already here; it's just
unevenly distributed."</br></br>The primary purpose of the passage is to

Describe different kinds of intelligence enhancement.

Discuss society's reactions to pharmacological cognitive augmentation.

Dispel misgivings about humanity?s attempts at creating its own evolution.

Intelligence ampli cation by external means might be more dif cult to

achieve than by internal means.

Cognitive augmentation does not really constitute evolution.

Some people consider intelligence enhancement to be a form of cheating.

External and internal intelligence enhancement might constitute evolution in
