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.
Bees, classified into over 10,000 species, are insects found in almost every part of the world
except the northernmost and southernmost regions. One commonly known species is the honeybee, the
only bee that produces honey and wax. Humans use the wax in making candles, lipsticks, and other
products, and they use the honey as a food. While gathering the nectar and pollen with which they make
honey, bees are simultaneously helping to fertilize the flowers on which they land. Many fruits and
vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to blossom.
Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a hive, which is a nest with
storage space for the honey. The different types of bees each perform a unique function. The worker bee
carries nectar to hive in a special stomach called a honey stomach. Other workers make bees wax and
shape it into a honeycomb, which is a water-proof mass of six-sided compartments, or cells. The queen
lay eggs in completed cells. As the workers build more cells, the queen lays more eggs.
All workers, like the queen, are female, but the workers are smaller than the queen. The male
honeybees are called drones; they do no work and cannot sting. They are developed from unfertilized
eggs, and their only job is to impregnate a queen. The queen must be fertilized in order to lay worker
eggs. During the use, the workers block the drones from the honey so that they will starve to death.
Question 45: All of the following are characteristic of a honeycomb except ___________.
A. it is made of wax.

B. it is made of honey.

C. it is impermeable

D. it contains hexagonal sections.

D. They skill the dangerous drones.

A. can be male or female


B. mates with the queen and has no other purpose.
C. collects less money than workers.
D. comes from eggs fertilized by other drones.

C. very big

D. only one

Question 52: The passage implies that bees can be found in each of the following parts of the world

specialized, fewer users are allowed access. Consequently, the time required to receive information has
decreased.


Businesses are beginning to explore a possible analogue to the Internet II. Many businesses are
creating their own “Intranets”. These are systems that can only be used by the members of the same
company. In theory, fewer users should translate into a faster system. Intranets are very useful for large
national and international companies whose branches need to share information. Another benefit of an
Intranet is an increased amount of security. Since only company employees have access to the
information on the Intranet, their information is protected from competitors. While there is little doubt
that the Internet will eventually be a fast and reliable service, industry and the academic community have
taken their own steps toward making more practical global networks.

Question 55: All of the following are advantages of business “Intranets” mentioned in the passage
EXCEPT__________
A. they move data faster.
B. they are cheaper than other alternatives.
C. they provide a higher level of security.
