Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question.
Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects - an estimated 90 percent of the world's species
have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for examining patterns
of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general
public. Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation
issues such as diversity.
Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is
the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.
For example, in 1875 one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he
mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found
on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321. This early
comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate
and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different
animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate or
3
tropical regions, rather man between them, is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of numbers of
species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal communication"
citations, even for vertebrates, In other words, unlike comparison between temperate and tropical areas, these
patterns are still in the documentation phase.
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are

B. Comparisons of behavior patterns of butterflies and certain animal groups
C. European butterfly habitats
D. Differences in species richness within a temperate or a tropical region
Question 53: The idea "little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution" is that ………… .
A. we know about butterfly evenness distribution to some extent
B. we don't know anything about butterfly evenness distribution
C. there are many other things that we don't know about butterfly evenness distribution
4
D. we know much about butterfly evenness distribution
Question 54: The word generated in the passage is closest in meaning to "……………".
A. caused B. assisted C. estimated D. requested
Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question.
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions
of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the
right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history.
Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the
best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters
showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United
States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained
invisible in history books.
Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female
authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians.
Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources.
During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping
records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local women’s organizations
compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved
and stored. These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United
States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia
Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later Generations of
historians.

A. Newspaper accounts of presidential election results
