Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.

Lake Baikal, the world’s largest lake, is located in southern Siberia, in Russia. It measures 395 miles of coastline. The lake’s rocky basin consists of three depressions, which hold a total volume of 14,656 cubic miles of water, 20 percent of the freshwater in the world. The lake is also very deep, with its deepest point at over 1 mile and an average depth of 2,066 feet. Furthermore, scientists have determined that Lake Baikal is the oldest lake in the world. From sediment obtained by drilling deep down below the lake, researchers estimate it to be at least 25 million years old.

To scientists, Lake Baikal is of particular interest because of its unique and isolated ecosystem. More than 1,000 species of plants and animals found at Lake Baikal exist nowhere else on earth and some can be dated to prehistoric times. Among its unique fauna is the Baikal freshwater seal. This creature, which local people call nerpa, is the only mammal which inhabits the lake. Researchers speculate that these seals, which have been breeding at Lake Baikal for 22 million years, are the descendents of ocean-dwelling seals which migrated inland in search of food, when the lake was still connected to the sea. Another creature that is unique to this Siberian Lake is the omu, a fish, which is caught by local fisherman and is considered a great delicacy.

For centuries, the water in Lake Baikal was so clear that it was possible to see down to depths of 40 to 60 feet. First, the lake contained certain small zooplankton and small crustaceans that consumed waterweeds, bacteria, and other material that would otherwise cloud the water. Furthermore, the water in the lake consisted of rainwater and melted snow that flowed down from a mountain range in about 300 streams and through uninhabited forest. Finally, most of the watershed has a rocky surface, so the water flowing into the lake did not accumulate mud or organic matter and had little mineral or chemical content.

Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.

Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of pollution, it is very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals is highly subjective and, therefore, variable. Exposure to lower levels of noise may be slightly irritating, whereas exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss. Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed to it.

Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is, therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection. Noise causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes accustomed. Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict, the skin pales, and muscles tense. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear, and some of these responses persist even longer than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased.

Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same way that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well. Fetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they cry easily, and they are more sensitive to gastrointestinal problems after birth. In addition, the psychic effect of noise is very important. Nervousness, irritability, tension, and anxiety increase, affecting the quality of rest during sleep, and the efficiency of activities during waking hours, as well as the way that we interact with each other.

71. Which of the following is the author’s main point?

a. Noise may pose a serious threat to our physical and psychological health.

b. Loud noises signal danger.

c. Hearing loss is America’s number one nonfatal health problem.

d. The ear is not like the eye.

72. According to the passage, what is noise?

a. Unwanted sound b. A by-product of technology

c. Physical and psychological harm d. Congestion

73. Why is noise difficult to measure?

a. It causes hearing loss b. All people do not respond to it in the same way

c. It is unwanted d. People become accustomed to it

74. The word congested in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by

a. hazardous b. crowded c. rushed d. polluted

75. It can be inferred from the passage that the eye

a. responds to fear b. enjoys greater protection than the ear

c. increases functions d. is damaged by noise

76. According to the passage, people respond to loud noise in the same way that they respond to

a. annoyance b. disease c. danger d. damage

77. The word accelerate in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to

a. decrease b. increase c. alter d. release

78. The word it in the first paragraph refers to

a. the noise b. the quality of life c. advancing technology d. a by-product

79. With which of the following statements would the author most probably agree?

a. Noise is not a serious problem today b. Noise is America’s number one problem

c. Noise is an unavoidable problem in an industrial society d. Noise is a complex problem

80. The phrase as well in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

a. after all b. also c. instead d. regardless

The end.
