correct answer to each of the questions.

One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a
monument of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720
B.C. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction make it one of the truly
great wonders of the world. The thirteen-acre structure near the Nile River is a solid
mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are a number of hidden
passageways and the burial chamber for the Pharaoh. It is the largest single
structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on
true north, south, east, and west – an incredible engineering feat. The ancient
Egyptians were sun worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the
Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.

Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many
intersecting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of
timeline of events – past, present, and future. Many of the events have been
interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are
prophesied for future generations and are currently under investigation. Many
believe that pyramids have supernatural powers, and this one is no exception.
Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial beings of the ancient past.
Was this superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior
to any known today?

Question 21: The word “intersecting” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.

A. crossing     B. aligning

C. observing     D. cutting

A. Architects' plans for the hidden passages.

B. Pathways of the great solar bodies.

C. Astrological computations.

D. Dates of important events taking place throughout time.

Question 23: The word "prophesied” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.

A. affiliated     B. precipitated

C. terminated     D. foretold

Question 24: Extraterrestrial beings are ____.

A. very strong workers

B. astronomers in the ancient times

C. researchers in Egyptology

D. living beings from other planets

LESSONS FROM CURITIBA  

Urban planning deals with the physical, economic, and social development of cities.
Today urban populations are increasing rapidly, and growing cities are putting
enormous pressure on the environment. For this reason, the type of urban planning
found in Curitiba, in southern Brazil, is more important than ever.  
Curitiba is a fine example of how urban planning can work. This has not always
been the case, however. At one time, Curitiba faced the same problems as many
other cities all over the world, namely overcrowding, pollution, and an increased
demand for services, transport, and housing. How, then, did Curitiba address these
problems?  

By the 1940s the population of Curitiba had grown to about 150,000 as immigrants
from countries such as Japan, Syria, and Lebanon came to work in agriculture and
industry. These people needed both housing and transportation. Curitiba's leaders
realised that it was not sensible to deal with these problems separately.
Consequently, they employed a French planner and architect, Alfred Agache, to find
an overall solution.  

Agache studied all aspects of the problem. He designed a scheme which gave
priority to public services such as sanitation and public transport. At the same time,
the scheme included centres which helped both community life and commerce to
develop, and reduced traffic congestion. This was the first scheme to address
several problems of growing cities at the same time. Unfortunately, some parts of
his plan were not completed. The result, as described below, was that his scheme
only served Curitiba for another 20 years.  

By the 1960s, the population of Curitiba had grown to about 430,000 inhabitants, so
the city had to rethink its needs. In order to do this, the mayor put together a team of
architects and town planners led by Jaime Lerner. This team produced the Curitiba
Master Plan. This consisted of taking Agache's original plan and adding wide, high-
speed roads which crossed the smaller streets. Their proposals also included plans
to minimise urban growth, reduce city centre traffic, and preserve the city's historic
district. It is clear that the Curitiba Master Plan was one of the first attempts to
integrate all aspects of city planning.  

This integrated approach to urban design was maintained throughout the 1980s as
Curitiba's population grew to almost one million inhabitants. Environmental facilities
were added, such as a recycling programme for household waste, and parks and
'green' spaces were protected from development. However, good transportation
remained central to the planning.  

Good transportation still remains a priority, together with the needs for jobs. A
growing population needs employment, so business parks and centres have been
added to encourage new small businesses. All these changes will continue be the
population of Curitiba increases, but its city planners are continually searching for
solutions to the problems.  

Question 26: What aspect of development does urban planning NOT deal with?

A. physical development  

B. technical development  

C. economic development.  

D. social development  

Question 27: How many problems are mentioned in the passage as commonly

shared by many cities?

A. 2     B. 3  

C. 4     D. 5  

Question 28: What was the main cause of the increase in Curitiba's population
Delore the 1940s?

A. immigrants from rural areas  

B. workers in business park  

C. immigrants from neighbouring countries  

D. immigrants from Japan, Syria, and Lebanon  

Question 29: In what ways was Agache’s approach different?

A. His scheme gave priority to public services.  

B. His scheme included centres which helped both community life and commerce to
develop.  

C. His scheme reduced traffic congestion.  

D. His scheme addressed several problems at the same time.  

Question 30: What did the Curitiba Master Plan do?

A. added better road system  

B. reduced urban growth  

C. prohibit city-centre traffic  

D. all of the above

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.

Super Size Me is a 2004 film by Morgan Spurlock, in which he documents his

experiment to eat only McDonald's fast food three times a day, every day, for thirty
days.

 
Spurlock made himself a short list of rules for the experiment, including an
obligation to eat all of the three meals he ordered. He also had to ‘Super Size’,
which means accepting a giant portion every time the option was offered to him. He
ended up vomiting after the first Super Size meal he finished, after taking nearly
twenty minutes to consume it.

 
After five days Spurlock put on almost 5kg, and he soon found himself feeling
depressed, with no energy. The only thing that got rid of his headaches and made
him feel better was another McDonald's meal, so his doctors told him he was
addicted. More seriously, around day twenty, he started experiencing heart
palpitations and one of the doctors detected liver problems. However, in spite of his
doctor's advice, Spurlock continued to the end of the month and achieved a total
weight gain of 11kg. His body mass index also increased from a healthy 23.2 to an
overweight 27.

 
It took Spurlock fifteen months to recover from his experiment and return to his
original weight, but the film also had a wider impact. Just after its showing in 2004,
McDonald's phased out the Super Size option and healthier options like salads
appeared on the menu. Unfortunately, McDonald's denied the connection between
the film and the changes, but it is interesting to note how closely they coincided with
the release of the film.

 
Question 23: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. An experiment with McDonald's fast food

 
B. Putting on weight due to eating fast food
 
C. Connection between fast food and heart diseases

 
D. How fast food trigger liver damage

B. He had to eat Super Size meal twice a day.

 
C. He had to eat Super Size meal three times a week.

 
D. He had to consume Super Size for three meals a day.

 
Question 25: In paragraph 2, the word "giant” is closest in meaning to ____.

A. light     B. balanced

 
C. big     D. healthy

 
Question 26: Which of the following could get rid of Spurlock's headaches?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
answer to each of the questions

An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to

the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or
materials adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits
continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were established in England in
the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen
or smelled – a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As
technology has developed and knowledge of health aspects of various chemicals
has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water
vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions. Many of more
important air pollutants such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen
oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentrations of these
pollutants were altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in
biogeochemical cycle. These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the
compounds to move from the air to the water or soil on a global basis, nature's
output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities.

However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In

this localized regions, human output may be dominant and may temporarily
overload the natural purification scheme of the cycle. The result is an increased
concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the
adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants
would have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need not
be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us little
until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that
would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health
effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level.
Carbon monoxide, however, as a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a
pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.

A. The economic impact of air pollution

B. What constitutes an air pollutant

C. How much harm air pollutants can cause

D. The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere

Question 28: The word "adversely" is closest in meaning to

A. water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas

B. most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled

C. the definition of air pollution will continue to change

Question 30: The word "these" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to

A. the various chemical reactions

B. the pollutants from the developing Earth

C. the compounds mover to the water or soil

D. the components in biogeochemical cycles

Question 31: For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an
important role in controlling air pollution?

A. They function as part of a purification process.

B. They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.

C. They are less harmful to living beings than are other pollutants.

D. They have existed since the Earth developed.
