Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet

All mammals feed their young. Beluga whale mothers, for example, nurse their
calves for some twenty months, until they are about to give birth again and their young
are able to find their own food. The behavior of feeding of the young is built into the
reproductive system. It is a non-elective part of parental care and the defining feature of a
mammal, the most important thing that mammals – whether marsupials, platypuses, spiny
anteaters, or placental mammals – have in common.
But not all animal parents, even those that tend their offspring to the point of
hatching or birth, feed their young. Most egg-guarding fish do not, for the simple reason
that their young are so much smaller than the parents and eat food that is also much
smaller than the food eaten by adults. In reptiles, the crocodile mother protects her young
after they have hatched and takes them down to the water, where they will find food, but
she does not actually feed them. Few insects feed their young after hatching, but some
make other arrangement, provisioning their cells and nests with caterpillars and spiders
that they have paralyzed with their venom and stored in a state of suspended animation so
that their larvae might have a supply of fresh food when they hatch.
For animals other than mammals, then, feeding is not intrinsic to parental care.
Animals add it to their reproductive strategies to give them an edge in their lifelong quest
for descendants. The most vulnerable moment in any animal’s life is when it first finds
itself completely on its own, when it must forage and fend for itself. Feeding postpones
that moment until a young animal has grown to such a size that it is better able to cope.
The young that are fed by their parents become nutritionally independent at a much
greater fraction of their full adult size. And in the meantime those young are shielded

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 from 44 to 50.
Comets are bodies that move around in space. They are something likes stars or small
planets that move around the sun. Comets are surrounded by gases and the sun makes
those gases look very bright. Dust can get caught in the gas around the comet and make
the comet look like it has a tails.
Halley's Comet is the most famous comet, but we can't see it very often. In fact, it can only be
seen from the Earth when it moves close the sun. This means that this beautiful comet only comes
into our sky every 77 years or so. The last time Halley's Comet was invisible from the Earth was in
1991. Did you see it?
Halley's Comet was named after the English astronomer Edmond Halley. An astronomer studies
the star and planets in the solar system. Edmond Halley was born in London, England, in 1656. He
studies astronomy at Oxford University. In 1676, he left the university to study the astronomy of
the Southern Hemisphere. He wrote a brook about the arrangement of the stars in the sky and the
movement of the planets. He made the first accurate map of the stars we see in the sky. He also
observed the moon and studied how the Moon affects the ocean tides. He helped find a way to
measure distances in space. This measurement was used by other scientists to learn about the size
of our solar system and the distances of many star and planets from the Earth.
Halley especially liked to study comets. He read about comets and observed them in the sky. He
learned about the way they moved around the Sun — each comet follows a different path around
the Sun and travels at its own speed. The path and speed of a body as it moves in space is called its

orbit. Halley calculated the orbits of comets that he read about or saw himself. He found the orbits
for twenty-four comets.
Halley also noticed that the paths of a comet seen in 1531 and of a comet seen in 1607 were
identical to the path of a comet he had observed in 1682. He concluded that these three comets
were, in fact, the same comet. Halley predicted that the comet would come again in 1758, and it
did! This comet was named “Halley’s Comet” and can be seen from Earth. The first reports of this
comet in history were made in 240 B.C. by Chinese astronomers, so we know that it has been
orbiting the Sun to more than 2,000 years. Halley’s Comet is not the only comet in our sky, but it is
the only one that appears regularly and can be predicted. It is also one of the brightest comets, and
people can see it without a telescope. Like comets, the Earth also travels around the Sun.
Sometimes the orbit of t Earth passes through the path of Hailey’s Comet. Like comets, the Earth
also travels around the Sun. Sometimes the orbit of the Earth passes through the path of Hailey’s
Comet. When this When this happens, dust left behind from the comet falls to Earth. The dust
burns and makes brilliant lights like falling stars in the sky. You can see this happen every year in
May and October. Astronomers predict that Hailey’s Comet will enter our sky again in 2061. Who
do you think will see it?

Comet.”

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 from 36 to 43.
All mammals feed their young. Beluga whale mothers, for example, nurse their
calves for some twenty months, until they are about to give birth again and their young
are able to find their own food. The behavior of feeding of the young is built into the
reproductive system. It is a non-elective part of parental care and the defining feature of a
mammal, the most important thing that mammals – whether marsupials, platypuses, spiny
anteaters, or placental mammals – have in common.
But not all animal parents, even those that tend their offspring to the point of
hatching or birth, feed their young. Most egg-guarding fish do not, for the simple reason
that their young are so much smaller than the parents and eat food that is also much
smaller than the food eaten by adults. In reptiles, the crocodile mother protects her young
after they have hatched and takes them down to the water, where they will find food, but
she does not actually feed them. Few insects feed their young after hatching, but some
make other arrangement, provisioning their cells and nests with caterpillars and spiders
that they have paralyzed with their venom and stored in a state of suspended animation so
that their larvae might have a supply of fresh food when they hatch.
For animals other than mammals, then, feeding is not intrinsic to parental care.
Animals add it to their reproductive strategies to give them an edge in their lifelong quest
for descendants. The most vulnerable moment in any animal’s life is when it first finds
itself completely on its own, when it must forage and fend for itself. Feeding postpones
that moment until a young animal has grown to such a size that it is better able to cope.
The young that are fed by their parents become nutritionally independent at a much
greater fraction of their full adult size. And in the meantime those young are shielded

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 from 44 to 50.
Comets are bodies that move around in space. They are something likes stars or small
planets that move around the sun. Comets are surrounded by gases and the sun makes
those gases look very bright. Dust can get caught in the gas around the comet and make
the comet look like it has a tails.
Halley's Comet is the most famous comet, but we can't see it very often. In fact, it can only be
seen from the Earth when it moves close the sun. This means that this beautiful comet only comes
into our sky every 77 years or so. The last time Halley's Comet was invisible from the Earth was in
1991. Did you see it?
Halley's Comet was named after the English astronomer Edmond Halley. An astronomer studies
the star and planets in the solar system. Edmond Halley was born in London, England, in 1656. He
studies astronomy at Oxford University. In 1676, he left the university to study the astronomy of
the Southern Hemisphere. He wrote a brook about the arrangement of the stars in the sky and the
movement of the planets. He made the first accurate map of the stars we see in the sky. He also
observed the moon and studied how the Moon affects the ocean tides. He helped find a way to
measure distances in space. This measurement was used by other scientists to learn about the size
of our solar system and the distances of many star and planets from the Earth.
Halley especially liked to study comets. He read about comets and observed them in the sky. He
learned about the way they moved around the Sun — each comet follows a different path around
the Sun and travels at its own speed. The path and speed of a body as it moves in space is called its

orbit. Halley calculated the orbits of comets that he read about or saw himself. He found the orbits
for twenty-four comets.
Halley also noticed that the paths of a comet seen in 1531 and of a comet seen in 1607 were
identical to the path of a comet he had observed in 1682. He concluded that these three comets
were, in fact, the same comet. Halley predicted that the comet would come again in 1758, and it
did! This comet was named “Halley’s Comet” and can be seen from Earth. The first reports of this
comet in history were made in 240 B.C. by Chinese astronomers, so we know that it has been
orbiting the Sun to more than 2,000 years. Halley’s Comet is not the only comet in our sky, but it is
the only one that appears regularly and can be predicted. It is also one of the brightest comets, and
people can see it without a telescope. Like comets, the Earth also travels around the Sun.
Sometimes the orbit of t Earth passes through the path of Hailey’s Comet. Like comets, the Earth
also travels around the Sun. Sometimes the orbit of the Earth passes through the path of Hailey’s
Comet. When this When this happens, dust left behind from the comet falls to Earth. The dust
burns and makes brilliant lights like falling stars in the sky. You can see this happen every year in
May and October. Astronomers predict that Hailey’s Comet will enter our sky again in 2061. Who
do you think will see it?
