learn and use without being aware of it. When we meet other people whose invisible cultural
assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behavior as
cultural in origin.
Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations. Conflicts may
arise when we are unable to recognize others’ behavioral differences as cultural rather than personal.
We tend to misinterpret other people's behavior, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence
without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences.
Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and
the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences. If the differences were more
visible, we might have less misunderstanding. For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was
wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we
would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours. Yet when
such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other obvious
ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us. As a result, mutual
misunderstanding may arise.
Question 11. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the importance of invisible aspects of culture
B. To describe cultural diversity.
C. To point out that much of culture is learned consciously.
D. To explain why cross-cultural conflict occurs.

( ID: 105360 ) Read the following passage mark letter A, B, C, or D on your sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
Coincident with concerns about the accelerating loss of species and habitats has been a growing
appreciation of the importance of biological diversity, the number of species in a particular ecosystem,
to the health of the Earth and human well-being. Much has been written about the diversity of terrestrial
organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich life associated tropical rain-forest habitats. Relatively little
has been said, however, about diversity of life in the sea even though coral reef systems are comparable
to rain forests in terms of richness of life.
An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet's dominants - most distinctive
feature - the ocean. Humans have a bias toward land that sometimes get in the way of truly examining
global issues. Seen from far away, it is easy to realize landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth’s
surface. Given that two thirds of the Earth's surface is water and that marine life lives at all levels of the
ocean, the total three-dimensional living space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of

land and contains more than 90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct
species.
The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world's rain forests doesn't seem
surprising, considering the huge numbers of insects that comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist
found many different species of ants in just one tree from a rain forest. While every species is different
from every other species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be insects and to share similar
characteristics with 750,000 species of insects. If basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are
given more emphasis than differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is

Question 58. The passage suggests that most rain forests species are_______
A.insects
B. bacteria
C. mammals
D. birds
Question 59. The word "there" in paragraph 3 refers to _______
A.the sea
B. the rain forests
C. a tree
D. the Earth’s surface
Question 60. The author argues that there is more diversity of life than in the rain forests because
A. more phyla and classes of life are presented in the sea
B. there are too many insects to make meaningful distinctions
C. many insect species too small to divide into categories
D. marine life-form reproduce at a faster rate

A. Sponges
B. Coral
C. Starfish

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
In most of the earliest books for childre n, illustrations were an afterthought. But in the
Caldecott “toy books”, which first appeared in 1878, they were almost as important as the lines of
text, and occupied far more space in the book. One can almost read the story from the
dramatic action in the pictures.
Since then, thousands of successful picture books have been published in the United States
and around the world. In the best, the words and illustrations seem to complement each other
perfectly. Often a single person, is responsible for both writing and illustrating the book. One of the
greatest, and certainly one of the most successful, illustrator-authors was Dr. Seuss, whose real name
was Theodor Geisel. His first children’s book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, hit the
market in 1937, and the world of children’s literature was changed forever. Seuss’s playful drawings
were a perfect complement to his engaging stories and unforgettable characters. In 1957, Seuss’s The
Cat in the Hat became the first book in Random House’s best -selling series, Beginner Books, written
by Seuss and several other authors. These combine outrageous illustrations of people, creatures, and
plants, and playful stories written in very simple language.
Dr. Seuss is not the only well-known author-illustrator, of course. There is Max Sendak, who

kilometers north from where they have wintered in Mexico, the hummingbirds need six weeks to
build a nest incubate their eggs, and raise the chicks. A second nest is feasible only if the first fails
early in the season. Quality, not quantity, is what counts in hummingbird reproduction.
(6) A nest on the lowest intact branch of an aspen will give a hummingbird a good view, a clear flight
patch, and protection for her young. Male hummingbirds claim feeding territories in open meadows
where, from late May through June, they mate with females Corning to feed but take no part in
nesting.
Thus when the hen is away to feed, the nest is unguarded. While the smooth bark of the aspen trunk
generally offers a poor grip for the claws of a hungry squirrel or weasel, aerial attacks, from a hawk,
owl, or gray jay, are more likely.
(12) The choice of where to build a nest is based not only on the branch itself but also on what hangs
over it. A crooked deformity in the nest branch, a second, unusually close branch overhead, or
proximity to part of a trunk bowed by a past ice storm are features that provide shelter and make for
an attractive nest site. Scarcely larger than a halved golf ball, the nest is painstaking constructed of
spider webs and plant down, decorated and camouflaged outside with paper-like bits of aspen bark
held together with more strands of spider silk. By early June it will hold two pea-sized eggs, which
each weigh one-seventh of the mother’s weight, and in sixteen to nineteen days, two chicks.
Question 41. What aspect of broad-tailed hummingbird behavior does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Mating habits

B. Selection of nest sites

C. Caring for the young
