POLAR ADVENTURE
In March 1999, Amy Clink, a Brazilian yachtsman and polar adventurer, became the first man to circle
Antarctica while staying south of 50 degrees latitude. He (61) the most dangerous sea
route in the world. Klink was already (62) known because in 1984 he had rowed across
the Atlantic in a small boat. The book (63) ………………… , based on his (64) on that
trip, had by then sold millions of copies.
For his polar adventure, Clink built his (65) boat. He (66) off in 1998
from South Georgia and he arrived back there 88 days later - although he (67) eleven

material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7
million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as
significant as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn't telecommuting become so popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part
of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force
scattered across the country would be too difficult or at least, systems for managing them are not yet
developed, thereby complicating the manager's responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant
to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many
are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more
visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a
work area, they never nearly get away from the office.

D. The failure of telecommuting.

A. More than predicted in Business Week.
B. More than 8 million.
C. Fewer than last year.
D. Fewer than estimated in USA Today.
78. The word “resistance” in the passage could best be replaced by
A. alteration
B. participation
C. opposition
D. consideration

A. a person who works in an office and communicate with the boss by computer.

III. Read this passage carefully and then choose the best answer A, B, C or D to questions below.
The biological community changes again as one moves from the city to the suburbs.
Around all cities is a biome called the "suburban forest". The trees of this forest are species that are
favored by man, and most of them have been deliberately planted. Mammals such as rabbits, skunks,
and opossums have moved in from the surrounding countryside. Raccoons have become experts at
opening garbage cans, and in some places even deer wander suburban thoroughfares. Several species of
squirrel get along nicely in suburbia, but usually only one species is predominant in any given suburb -
fox squirrels in one place, red squirrels in another, gray squirrels in a third – for reasons that are little
understood. The diversity of birds in the suburbs is great, and in the South, lizards thrive in gardens and
even houses. Of course, insects are always present.
There is an odd biological sameness in these suburban communities. True, the palms of Los
Angeles are missing from the suburbs of Boston, and there are species of insects in Miami not found in
Seattle. But over wide stretches of the United States, ecological conditions in suburban biomes vary
much less than do those of natural biome. And unlike the natural biomes, the urban and suburban
communities exist in spite of, not because of, the climate.
1. If there was a preceding paragraph to this passage it would most likely be concerned with
which of the following topics?
A. The migration from cities to suburbs.
B. The biological community in urban areas.
