When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not unusual news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals. Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside. Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have been deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered. Question 31: Which title best summarizes the main idea of the passage? A. Determining the age of French caves. B. Exploring caves respectfully. C. Wild animals in art. D. Hidden prehistoric paintings. Question 32: The phrase pays heed to in the passage is closest in meaning to ___. A. watches B. buys C. discovers D. notices Question 33: Why was painting inside the Lascaux cave complex a difficult task? A. Painting materials were hard to find. B. It was completely dark inside. C. The caves were full of wild animals. D. Many painting spaces were difficult to reach. Question 34: The pronoun They in the passage refers to ___. A. animals B. walls C. materials D. artists Question 35: According to the passage, what happened at the Lascaux caves in 1963? A. Visitors were prohibited from entering. B. A new lighting system was installed. C. A new entrance was created. D. Another part was discovered. 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 42. 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 changes. 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
4. under certain conditions. Many of more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxides and nitrogen oxides are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles. 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 such region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an 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 has a natural level of 0. 1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm. Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss? 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 37: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ___. A. water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas B. the definition of air pollution will continue to change C. most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled D. a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities Question 38: According to the passage, human generated air pollution in localized regions___. A. can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants B. can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants C. will damage areas outside of the localized regions D. will react harmfully with natural pollutants Question39:According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if ___ . A. the natural level is also knownB. it is in a localized area C. the other substances in the area are knownD. it can be calculated quickly Question 40: The word "noxious" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to___. A. poisonousB. naturalC. known D. essential Question 41: The word "localized" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to___. A. surrounded B. circled C. specified D. encircled Question42 : The word "adversely" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to___.
