A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that
best fits each of the numbered blanks.
Despite the wealth of
information campaigns telling people about global warming and its causes, (26)
people have yet to realize
how severe the problem is. Coming climate changes could alter as much as one
third of plant and animal habitats by the end of the 22nd century. These
changes could in turn cause widespread extinctions among plant and animal
species around the globe.
Coastal and island
habitats are perhaps in the greatest danger (27) they face the combined threats
of warming oceans and rising sea levels. As habitats change, many animals will
come under intense pressure to find more suitable homes for themselves. Mass
(28) of at least some animals are certainly to be expected, but the fact
remains that many animals will simply not be able to move fast enough.
Such dire predictions
may sound alarmist, but they are based on the rather moderate estimate that the
amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will double by 2100. Many scientists
believe, however, (29) this figure is actually very conservative, and they
claim that a tripling is far more realistic. If they are (30) , the effects on
nature will be even more dramatic.

Read the following passage and mark the letter
A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
In “How many hours does
it take to make a friend?” (2018), Jeffrey A. Hall describes the types of
encounters that build a friendship.
His study found that
hours of time spent together was linked with closer friendships, as was time
spent enjoying leisure activities together. Specifically, he found
that the chance of making a “casual friend,” as opposed to a mere acquaintance,
was greater than 50 percent when people spent approximately 43 hours together
within three weeks of meeting. He further found that casual friends evolve into
friends at some point between 57 hours after three weeks, and 164 hours over
three months. Hall's research also demonstrated, however, that when it comes to
time spent developing friendships, quality is more important than quantity. And
when it comes to conversation, topics matter. When it comes to building quality
relationships, the duration of conversation is not as important as the content.
Meaningful conversation is the key to bonding with others.
Hall found that when it
comes to developing friendships, sharing daily life through catching up and
joking around promotes closeness; small talk does not. Consider the inane topics
that often come up when you are trapped in an elevator with an acquaintance.
Discussing the weather or speculating on how many stops you will make before
finally reaching the lobby does not facilitate bonding. Nor does mere
proximity. Hall found that obligatory time spent together, such as in a
classroom or workplace, does not promote closeness. Friendships require an
efficient use of time together. Someone who remembers the details of your life
and asks questions about your family, your job, your latest vacation, etc., is
much more likely on his or her way to becoming someone you consider a friend,
as opposed to an acquaintance.

Read the following passage and mark the
letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
For hundreds of years, giving flowers have
been a social means of communication. In the United States, flowers are often
given during rites of passage, for commemorating special occasions or as a
heartfelt gift between loved ones and friends. Flower gifting also occurs in
most countries around the world. However, the meanings and traditions often
vary.
While students traditionally gave their
favorite teacher an apple in past years, in China, teachers are given flowers.
Peonies are by far the flower most often given in China. They are
also quite popularly used for weddings. Strangely, potted plants are not
considered a pleasant gift among Asian cultures. The people believe that like a
plant confined by a pot, the gift symbolizes a binding or restriction.
In Russia, in lieu of giving birthday
presents, the guest of honor receives a single flower or an unwrapped bouquet.
Floral arrangements or baskets are not given. Russians celebrate a holiday
known as Woman’s Day. Traditional gifts include red roses, hyacinths or tulips.
When there is a funeral or other occasion where someone wishes to express
sympathy, carnations, lilies or roses are given in circular configurations,
which signify the transition of birth, life and death to rebirth. In this
instance, the color of choice is commonly yellow. For joyous occasions,
arrangements and bouquets generally contain an odd number of flowers.
In the times of ancient Rome, brides
carried flowers to scare away evil spirits and encourage fertility.
The Dutch believed that flowers were food for the soul. When invited to
someone’s home in Great Britain, it is tradition to bring a gift of flowers.
All types are acceptable except white lilies, which are usually seen at
funerals. Not unlike the United States, red roses are a symbol of love. Flowers
are generally gifted in odd numbered increments regardless of the occasion.
However, the Brits also have superstitions regarding the
number 13, so the number is avoided.
In the southern region of the continent, flowers are traditionally
given during Christmas. Egyptians are much more conservative and restrict
flower gifting to funerals and weddings. While certain flowers may have
significant meanings for some, flowers in Las Vegas and across the United
States flowers are an accepted gift for any reason desired.
