Common types of calendars can be based on the Sun or the Moon. The
solar calendar is based on the solar year. Since the solar year is 365.2422
days long, solar calendars consist of regular years of 365 days and have an
extra day every fourth year, or leap year, to make up for the additional
fractional amount. In a solar calendar, the waxing and waning of the Moon
can take place at various stages each month.
The lunar calendar is synchronized to the lunar month rather than the
solar year. Since the lunar month is twenty-nine and a half days long, most
lunar calendars have alternating months of twenty-nine and thirty days. A
twelve-month lunar year thus has 354 days, 11 days shorter than a solar
year.
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
Common types of calendars can be based on the Sun or the Moon.
The lunar calendar is synchronized to the lunar month rather than
the solar year.

Truman Capote's In Cold Blood (1966) is a well-known example of the
"nonfiction novel," a popular type of writing based upon factual events in
which the author attempts to describe the underlying forces, thoughts, and
emotions that lead to actual events. In Capote's book, the author describes
the sadistic murder of a family on a Kansas farm, often showing the point of
view of the killers. To research the book, Capote interviewed the murderers,
and he maintains that his book presents a faithful reconstruction of the
incident.

When a strong earthquake occurs on the ocean floor rather than on
land, a tremendous force is exerted on the seawater and one or more large,
destructive waves called tsunamis can be formed. Tsunamis are commonly
called tidal waves in the United States, but this is really an inappropriate
name in that the cause of the tsunami is an underground earthquake rather
than the ocean's tides.
Far from land, a tsunami can move through the wide open vastness of
the ocean at a speed of 600 miles (900 kilometers) per hour and often can
travel tremendous distances without losing height and strength. When a
tsunami reaches shallow coastal water, it can reach a height of 100 feet (30
meters) or more and can cause tremendous flooding and damage to coastal

that the areas where they live are surrounded by oceans, bays, and inlets
and dotted with lakes and seas. Two different types of boats have been
developed by the Eskimos, each constructed to meet specific needs.
The kayak is something like a canoe that has been covered by a deck. A
kayak is generally constructed with one opening in the deck for one rider;
however, some kayaks are made for two. Because the deck of a kayak is
covered over except for the hole (or holes) for its rider (or riders), a kayak
can tip over in the water and roll back up without filling with water and
sinking. One of the primary uses of the kayak is for hunting.

No one yet has seriously suggested that "planktonburgers" may soon
become popular around the world. As a possible farmed supplementary food
source, however, plankton is gaining considerable interest among marine
scientists.
One type of plankton that seems to have great harvest possibilities is a
tiny shrimplike creature called krill. Growing to two or three inches long, krill
provide the major food for the giant blue whale, the largest animal ever to
inhabit the Earth, flealizing that this whale may grow to 100 feet and weigh
150 tons at maturity, it is not surprising that each one devours more than
one ton of krill daily.
2. Why does the author mention "planktonburgers"?
Keyword = planktonburgers
No one yet has seriously suggested that "planktonburgers" may
soon become popular around the world. As a possible farmed
supplementary food source,..
(A) To describe the appearance of one type of plankton
(B) To illustrate how much plankton a whale consumes
(C)
To suggest plankton as a possible food source
(D)To compare the food values of beef and plankton
Ice ages, those periods when ice covered extensive area of the Earth,
are known to have occurred at least six times. Past ice ages can be
recognized from rock strata that show evidence of foreign materials
deposited by moving walls of ice or melting glaciers. Ice ages can also be
recognized from land formations that have been produced from moving walls
of ice, such a U-shaped valleys, sculptures landscapes, and polished rock
faces.

Blood plasma is a clear, almost colorless liquid. It consists of blood from
which the red and white blood cells have been removed. It is often used in
transfusions because a patient generally needs plasma portion of the blood
more than the other components. Plasma differs in several important ways
from whole blood. First of all, plasma can be mixed for all donors and does
not have to be from the right blood group, as whole blood does. In addition,
plasma can be dried and stored, while whole blood cannot.

Beavers generally live in family clusters consisting of six to ten
members. One cluster would probably consist of two adults, one male and
one female, and four to eight young beavers, or kits. A female beaver gives
birth each spring to two to four babies at a time. These baby beavers live
with their parents until they are two years old. In the springtime of their
second year they are forced out of the family group to make room for the
new babies. These two-year-old beavers then proceed to start new family
clusters of their own.

Exercise:
Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo was a Portuguese-born explorer who is credited
with the exploration of the coast of what is today the state of California.
Sketchy military records from the period show that early in his career he
served with the Spanish army from 1520 to 1524 in Spain's quest for
subjugation of the people in what are today Cuba, Mexico, and Guatemala.
Little is known of his activities over the next decades, but apparently he
succeeded in rising up through the ranks of the military; in 1541, he was
ordered by Antonio de Mendoza, the Spanish ruler of Mexico, to explore the
western coast of North America. Cabrillo set out in June of 1542 in command
of two ships, the San Salvador and the Victoria; he reached San Diego Bay
on September 28, 1542, and claimed the terrain for Spain. The peninsula
where he landed is today named Cabrillo Point in his honor; the area has
been established as a national monument and park, and local residents each
year hold a celebration and reenactment of Cabrillo's landing.

The black widow is the most dangerous spider living in the United
States. It is most common in the southern parts of the country, but it can be
found throughout the country. The black widow got its name because the
female has been known to kill the male after mating and, as a result,
becomes a widow.
The black widow is rather distinctive in appearance; it has a shiny
globular body, the size and shape of a pea, and is marked on its underbelly
with a red or yellow spot. The female is considerably more ample than the
male, roughly four times large on the average.
If a human is bitten by a black widow, the spiders poison can cause
severe illness and pain. Black widow bites have occasionally proved deadly,
but it is certainly not the norm for black widow bites to be mortal.

4. In line 4, the word "widow" means

48.By the late nineteenth century, the focus for the engineers and builders of
i tunnels was beginning to shift from Europe to the United States and especially
n New York, where the rivers encircling Manhattan captured the imagination of
e tunnelers and challenged their ingenuity. The first to accept the challenge was a

The term virus is derived from the Latin word for poison or slime.
i It was originally applied to the noxious stench emanating from swamps that was
n thought to cause a variety of diseases in the centuries before microbes were
e discovered and specifically linked to illness. But it was not until almost the end of
the nineteenth century that a true virus was proven to be the cause of a disease.
99.
The nature of viruses made them impossible to detect for many
83.
84. years even after bacteria had been discovered and studied. Not only are viruses

There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient
i Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that
n drama evolved from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the
e beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world, even the
83. seasonal changes, as unpredictable, and they sought through various means, to
84. control these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to
85. bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened
86.5 into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries
87. of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later
88. called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama.
105.
Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that
89.
those rites contained the seed of theater because music, dance, masks, and
90.
costumes were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be
91.1
provided for performances, and when the entire community did not participate, a
0
clear division was usually made between the "acting area" and the "auditorium."
92. In addition, there were performers, and since considerable importance was
93. attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders usually

assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other
people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect-success in
hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun-as an actor might.
Eventually such dramatic representations were separated from religious activities.
106.
Another theory traces the theater's origin from the human interest
in storytelling. According to this view, tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats)
are gradually elaborated at first through the use of impersonation, action, and
dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a
different person. A closely related theory traces theater to those dances that are
primarily rhythmical and gymnastic or that are imitations of animal movements
and sounds.

Panel painting, common in thirteenth -and fourteenth -century
Line Europe, involved a painstaking, laborious process. Wooden planks were joined,
34.
covered with gesso to prepare the surface for painting, and then polished smooth
35.
with special tools. On this perfect surface, the artist would sketch a composition
36.
with chalk, refine it with inks, and then begin the deliberate process of applying
37.
thin layers of egg tempera paint (egg yolk in which pigments are suspended) with
5 small brushes. The successive layering of these meticulously applied paints
38.
produced the final, translucent colors.
39.
59.
Backgrounds of gold were made by carefully applying sheets of
40.
gold leaf, and then embellishing of decorating the gold leaf by punching it with a
41.
metal rod on which a pattern had been embossed. Every step in the process was
42.
slow and deliberate. The quick-drying tempera demanded that the artist know
10 exactly where each stroke be placed before the brush met the panel, and it
43.
required the use of fine brushes. It was, therefore, an ideal technique for
44.
emphasizing the hard linear edges and pure, fine areas of color that were so
45.
much a part of the overall aesthetic of the time. The notion that an artist could or
46.
would dash off an idea in a fit of spontaneous inspiration was completely alien to
47.
these deliberately produced works.
15
60.
Furthermore, making these paintings was so time-consuming that it
48.
demanded assistance. All such work was done by collective enterprise in the
49.
workshops. The painter or master who is credited with having created painting
50.
may have designed the work and overseen its production, but it is highly unlikely
51.
that the artist's hand applied every stroke of the brush. More likely, numerous
52.
assistants, who had been trained to imitate the artist's style, applied the paint.
20 The carpenter's shop probably provided the frame and perhaps supplied the
53.
panel, and yet another shop supplied the gold. Thus, not only many hands, but
54.
also many shops were involved in the final product.
55.
61.
In spite of problems with their condition, restoration, and
56.
preservation many panel paintings have survived, and today many of them are

housed in museum collections.

No two comets ever look identical, but they have basic features in
Line common, one of the most obvious of which is a coma. A coma looks like a misty,
52.
patch of light with one or more tails often streaming from it in the direction away
53.
from the Sun. At the heart of a comet's coma lies a nucleus of solid material,
54.
typically no more than 10 kilometers across. The visible coma is a huge cloud of
55.
gas and dust that has escaped from the nucleus, which it then surrounds like an
5 extended atmosphere. The coma can extend as far as a million kilometers
56.
outward from the nucleus. Around the coma there is often an even larger invisible
57.
envelope of hydrogen gas.
58.
73.
The most graphic proof that the grand spectacle of a comet
59.
develops from a relatively small and inconspicuous chunk of ice and dust was the
60.
close-up image obtained in 1986 by the European Giotto probe of the nucleus of
10 Halley's Comet. It turned out to be a bit like a very dark asteroid, measuring 16 by
61.
8 kilometers. Ices have evaporated from its outer layers to leave a crust of nearly
62.
black dust all over the surface. Bright jets of gas from evaporating ice burst out
63.
on the side facing the Sun, where the surface gets heated up, carrying dust with
64.
them. This is how the coma and the tails are created.
65.
74.
Comets grow tails only when they get warm enough for ice and
15 dust to boil off. As a comet's orbit brings it closer to the Sun, first the coma grows
66.
and then two distinct tails usually form. One, the less common kind, contains
67.
electrically charged (i.e., ionized) atoms of gas, which are blown off directly in the
68.
direction away from the Sun by the magnetic field of the solar wind. The other tail

69.
is made of neutral dust particles, which get gently pushed back by the pressure of
70.
the sunlight itself. Unlike the ion tail, which is straight, the dust tail becomes
20 curved as the particles follow their own orbits around the Sun.
