IV. Reading Comprehension

Article A

Ant colonies are divided into queens, males, and workers. The job of the queen is to lay eggs. The males generally do not work, but receive food from the workers until it is time for them to mate. They die almost immediately after mating. Workers are sterile females. Instead of reproducing, they perform a variety of roles that benefit the colony. They forage for food, defend the colony from attack, construct the nest, and take care of the queen. Only a small percentage of worker ants are foragers. They face greater risks as they are constantly exposed to external dangers from predators while hunting for food.
70. The author mentions the queen, males, and workers in the passage in order to illustrate

(A) functions of ant colonies (B) functions of ants
(C) types of ant colonies (D) types of reproduction
71. According to the paragraph, which of the following is NOT true about ant colonies?

(A) Each type of ant has a different function. (B) Workers do not hunt for food.
(C) Males do not reproduce. (D) Workers and queen ants are all female.

(C) Forager ants hunt for food despite facing constant danger outside the colony.
(D) Forager ants do not hunt for food unless they are safe from danger.



Article B

Cultural anthropology of the 20$^{th}$ century was greatly influenced by the so-called culture history school, founded by Franz Boas, a German-born American. He supported the idea that researchers should collect evidence of the diversity of human social structures and behavior by observing people in their natural environs. In his view, the task of the anthropologist was to go out into the field to observe and gather facts and artifacts, record social and cultural processes, and use this data as the basis of a theoretical description. This emphasis on fieldwork and firsthand observation influenced a whole generation of sociologists and cultural anthropologists.
75. The word “field” in the passage is closest in meaning to

(A) team (B) subject (C) research (D) environment
76. Which of the following is implied about anthropologists before Boas?

(A) They did not base their theories on observation.

(B) They did not study other cultures.

(C) They did not gather enough evidence for their theories

(D) They did not agree on theoretical research methods

Article C

The tropical rainforests play a crucial role in sustaining life on our planet. They are vitally important to the environment. However, the rainforests around the world from Australia to Brazil are being depleted at a dramatic rate. Recent estimates are that deforestation has reduced the amount of tree cover on our planet by more than 50 percent. Forests are cut down for many reasons, but most of them are related to the increase in human population.

A major contributing factor is the clearing of land for agriculture. Farmers cut down forests to cultivate crops or to provide grazing land for their livestock. When trees are cut down for agriculture, they are not replaced with new trees. Not only animal species, but also plants with as yet undiscovered potential medicinal uses are destroyed with a resulting decrease in biodiversity. The preservation of animal and plant species is essential for maintaining the future sustainability of life on our planet.

A second cause of deforestation is the use of wood for construction and manufacturing, as well as for paper production. Legal and illegal logging in many countries has destroyed large areas of forest and **this** has led to a degradation of soil conditions. Trees not only provide shade and protection that keep soil moist, their roots also hold the soil together, preventing erosion. Land that has been cleared for cultivation easily becomes barren and more susceptible to damage from floods and



droughts.

Trees play an important role in absorbing greenhouse gases. Without trees, larger amounts of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphere and contribute to air pollution and global warming. Trees are also very important in the process of precipitation. The leaves of the trees contribute humidity to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration. Fewer trees mean that there is a reduction in humidity in the air, which affects not only the local ecosystem, but weather patterns globally, potentially harming agricultural production around the world.
77. In paragraph 1, the author mentions the increase in human population in order to

(A) show that trees are important to the planet
(B) make the point that deforestation is harmful
(C) argue that deforestation is unnecessary
(D) explain why trees are being cut down
78. The word “this” in paragraph 3 refers to

(A) the destruction of large areas of forest
(B) paper production
(C) logging activity
(D) degradation of soil conditions
79. The word “susceptible” in the passage is closest in meaning to

(A) predictable
(B) resistant
(C) vulnerable
(D) sufficient
80. Which of the following statements is supported by paragraph 4?

(A) Fewer trees mean less rain.
(B) More pollution means less rain.
(C) Less humidity means higher temperature.
(D) Less rain means less pollution.
