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

Herman Melville, an American author best known today for his novel Moby Dick, was actually
more popular during his lifetime for some of his other works. He traveled extensively and used the
knowledge gained during his travels as the basis for his early novels. In 1837, at the age of eighteen,
Melville signed as a cabin boy on a merchant ship that was to sail from his Massachusetts home to
Liverpool, England. His experiences on this trip served as a basis for the novel Redburn (1849). In 1841,
Melville set out on a whaling ship headed for the South Seas. After jumping ship in Tahiti, he wandered
around the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. This South Sea island sojourn was a backdrop to the novel Omoo
(1847). After three years away from home, Melville joined up with a U.S. naval frigate that was returning to
the eastern United States around Cape Horn. The novel White Jacket (1850) describes this lengthy voyage
as a navy seaman.
With the publication of these early adventure novels, Melville developed a strong and loyal
following among readers eager for his tales of exotic places and situations. However, in 1851, with the
publication of Moby Dick, Melville's popularity started to diminish. Moby Dick, on one level the saga of the
hunt for the great white whale, was also a heavily symbolic allegory of the heroic struggle of humanity
against the universe. The public was not ready for Melville's literary metamorphosis from romantic
adventure to philosophical symbolism. It is ironic that the novel that served to diminish Melville's
popularity during his lifetime is the one for which he is best known today.
Question 46: The main subject of the passage is ____________.
A. Melville's travels B. the popularity of Melville's novels
C. Melville's personal background D. Moby Dick
Question 47: According to the passage, Melville's early novels were ____________.
A. published while he was traveling B. completely fictional
C. all about his work on whaling ships D. based on his travel experience
Question 48: In what year did Melville's book about his experiences as a cabin boy appear?
A. 1837 B. 1841 C. 1847 D. 1849
Question 49: The word "basis" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______
A. background B. message C. bottom D. dissertation
Question 50: The passage implies that Melville stayed in Tahiti because ______
A. he had unofficially left his ship B. he was on leave while his ship was in port
C. he had finished his term of duty D. he had received permission to take a vacation in

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 a region,
human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles.
The result is an increased 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 56: 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 57: The word "adversely" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A. negatively B. quickly C. admittedly D. considerably
Question 58: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _______.
A. water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas B. most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled
C. the definition of air pollution will continue to change D. a substance becomes an air pollutant only
in cities
Question 59: The word "These" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_.
A. the various chemical reactions B. the pollutants from the developing Earth
C. the compounds moved to the water or soil D. the components in biogeochemical cycles
Question 60: For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in controlling
air pollution?
A. They function as part of a purification process. B. They occur in greater quantities than other
pollutants.
C. They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants. D. They have existed since the Earth
developed.
Question 61: According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions _______.

time.
A B C D
Question 70: Passengers are required to arrive to the gate fifteen minutes before departure time.

When pilots first began to fly above the clouds, many years ago, the sunlights was so strong that
they could not see, and some of them even got sick. So in the 1920's, a young pilot asked the Bausch and
Lomb company to help. B&L made a green coloured glass that stopped some of the sunlight. Put
intoglasses, these immediately became the standard dark glasses for pilots. The company called them Ray-
Bans, and pilots everywhere wore them. In 1937, Bausch and Lomb developed a new glass that didn't break
easily. This glass also reduced the sun's glare as well as its light. The new glasses were so good that the U.S.
Air Force gave B&L a contract. After that every pilot and crew member during World War II wore Ray-
Bans. After the war, sportsmen found that Ray-Bans were useful outdoors. Soon after that, people
everywhere began to wear Ray-Bans. Famous people began to wear them, like General Douglas MacArthur,
writer Sam Shepad, and actors Dennis Connors and Tom Cruise (Top Gun). The basic design has never
changed, probably customers have been so satisfied. Today Ray-Bans are still popular and selling well.
Bausch and Lomb say that they don't know how many pairs of dark glasses they have manufactured since
the 1920's. "Somewhere between 25 and 30 million would be a good guess", says a company vice-
president"
76. Who were the first persons to wear Ray-Bans?
