C2.
Most human beings are awake during the day and sleep all night. Owls live the opposite
way. Owls are nocturnal. This means that they sleep all day and stay awake at night.
Because owls are nocturnal, this means they must eat at night. But finding food in the
dark is difficult. To help them, they have special eyes and ears. Owls have very large
eyes. These eyes absorb more light than normal. Since there is little light during the
night, it is helpful to be able to absorb more of it. This helps owls find food in the dark.
Owls also have very good hearing. Even when owls are in the trees, they can hear small
animals moving in the grass below. This helps owls catch their prey even when it is very
dark. Like owls, mice are also nocturnal animals. Mice have an excellent sense of smell.
This helps them find food in the dark. Being nocturnal helps mice to hide from the many
different animals that want to eat them. Most of the birds, snakes, and lizards that like
to eat mice sleep at night—except, of course, owls! Some animals are nocturnal. This
means they are active at night. The owl and the mouse are good examples of nocturnal
animals that use their senses to find food in the dark.
1) In paragraph 1, we learn that "Owls are nocturnal." The word diurnal is the opposite
of the word nocturnal. Using information in the passage as a guide, we can understand
that an animal that is diurnal
A. sleeps at night and is awake during the day
B. hunts during the day and is awake at night

6) Based on information in the final paragraph, it can be understood that
A. owls hunt mice
B. mice can hide from owls


C. mice and owls both hide from birds, snakes, and lizards
D. birds and snakes often hunt lizards
7) If added to the end of this passage, which of the following conclusions would fit best?
A. The owl is a nocturnal animal. This means it is active at night. The owl's excellent
sense of sight and sound enable it to find food in the dark.
B. Mice are nocturnal animals. This means they are active at night. Similar to the owl,
mice use their excellent sense of smell to find food in the dark.
C. Both mice and owls are nocturnal. This means they are active at night. Because these
animals are active at night, they must sleep during the day. This makes them especially
vulnerable to attack from diurnal animals.
D. Some animals are nocturnal. This means they are active at night. The owl and the
mouse are good examples of nocturnal animals that use their senses to find food in
the dark.
C3.
When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might
be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older; however, we
learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact,
the animal that kills the most people every year is one that you have probably killed
yourself many times: the mosquito. While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters,
this is not actually the case. Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand,
female mosquitoes feed on animal blood. They need this blood to live and produce
eggs. When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits a small amount of
saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease. The result of
the bite can be as minor as an itchy bump or as serious as death. Because a mosquito
can bite many people in the course of its life, it can carry diseases from one person to

4) As used in paragraph 2, minor most nearly means
A. insignificant
B. deadly
C. frustrating
D. dangerous
5) Based on information in paragraph 3, it can be understood that if you get sick with

A. work together with mosquitoes

from deadly mosquitoes.

prospect of solving the mosquito problem?
A. despondent, meaning hopeless or dejected
B. exasperated, meaning extremely irritated or annoyed
C. equivocal, meaning doubtful or uncertain

woman’s place is in the home” was a popular saying. Most women felt that taking care
of their home and family was their full-time job. But times have changed. Women are
getting married later these days and more have chosen to stay single. Others get
married but decide not to have any children. Today more than fifty percent of all
married women work full-time. Many others run businesses in their homes. What has
caused these major changes? One reason is economic necessity. It may be that the
husband has lost his job and the wife must support the family. Or even if the husband is
working, some families say they can’t survive on only one paycheck. But probably a
more important influence has been the “women’s liberation movement.” Women are
being told in many magazines and TV programs: “You can be successful on your own.
Don’t be satisfied with just being a wife and mother. Use your intelligence and talents to
do something bigger. And you should be paid as much as a man.”
No doubt this movement has accomplished much good. But it has also contributed to a
selfish “me first” attitude that is breaking up many families. Sometimes women who are
happy staying at home feel that working women look down on them. There are no easy
answers to these problems. But certainly women’s influence will continue to grow in
business, education and politics.


C6.
When John Mills was going to fly in an aeroplane for the first time, he was frightened.
He did not like the idea of being thousands of feet up in the air. “ ‘I also didn’t like the
fact that I wouldn’t be in control,” says John. “I’m a terrible passenger in the car. When
