Why is it that flying to New York from London will leave you feeling less tired than flying to London from New York? The answer may be a clear case of biology not being able to keep up with technology. Deep inside the brain there is a “clock” that governs every aspect of the body’s functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness, performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on. It regulates all of these functions on a 24-hour basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin, circa “about” + dies “day”).

This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and again between 3-5 p.m. Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon. One of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known as jet lag is the non-alignment of a person’s internal body clock with clocks in the external world. Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to the new time and patterns of light and activity. To make matters more complex, not all internal body functions adjust at the same rate. So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace. Your digestion may be on a different schedule altogether.

Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend our day beyond 24 hours. It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day. That is why travelling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying east. NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights. When flying west, you are “extending” your day, thus travelling in the natural direction of your internal clock. Flying eastward will involve “shrinking” or reducing your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock’s natural tendency.



One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes disrupted. There are many reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing light and activity levels, trying to sleep when your body clock is programmed to be awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer hours. Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well. Judgment and decision-making can be reduced by 50%, attention by 75 percent, memory by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent. It is often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane, supposedly to try to help you adjust to your destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive. But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time zone.

Question 45: The main function of the body clock is to_________

A. govern all the body’s responses. B. regulate the body’s functions.

C. help us sleep. D. help us adapt to a 24-hour cycle.

Question 46: The word “It” refers to_________

A. the programme B. the body clock C. the function D. the brain

Question 47: Jet lag _________

A. makes our body clock operate badly. B. causes our body clock to change.

C. extends the hours of our body clock. D. upsets our body’s rhythms.

Question 48: The word “malady” is closest in meaning to

A. illness B. bore C. thought D. feeling

Question 49: The direction you fly in_________

A. helps you sleep better. B. alters your body’s natural rhythms.

C. affects the degree of jet lag. D. extends or shrinks your body clock.

Question 50: According to the article, _________

A. various factors stop us sleeping when we fly.

B. travelers complain about the negative effects of flying.

C. flying seriously affects your judgment and decision-making.

D. jet lag can affect different abilities differently.

Question 51: On the subject of avoiding jet lag the article_________

A. makes no suggestions.

B. says there is nothing you can do.

C. proposes gradually adjusting your body clock.

D. suggests changing the time on your watch.

Question 52: According to the author, which of the following reasons disrupt travelers’ sleep?

A. Travelers try to sleep between 3-5 p.m.

B. Travelers’ attention is reduced by 75 percent.

C. The traveler’s internal circadian clock has to adjust to patterns of light and activity.

D. Travelers fly in the natural direction of their internal clock.

Question 53: It can be inferred from the passage that_________

A. travelers have to spend more money flying westward than eastward.

B. there are more travelers in westward flights than in eastward ones.

C. westward travelers become friendlier than eastward ones.

D. travelers do not sleep as well in eastward flights as in westward ones.

Question 54: The word “fatigue” is closest in meaning to_________

A. obsession B. exhaustion C. sleeplessness D. frustration

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 following questions from 55 to 64

The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal. Other solid material such as silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures. Also, some substances such as salt (sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water. The ability of metals to conduct electricity is due to how their atoms bond together. In order to bond together the metal atoms lose at least one of their outermost electrons. This leaves the metal atoms with a positive charge and they are now strictly ions. The lost electrons are free to move in what are known as a sea of electrons. Since the electrons are negatively charged they attract the ions and this is what keeps the structure together.

An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in the sea of electrons are free to move they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of electrical energy such as a battery is connected to the metal. Hence we have an electric current flowing through the wire, and this is what makes metals such good conductors of electricity. The only other common solid conducting material that pencil users are likely to encounter is graphite (what the ‘lead’ of a pencil is made from). Graphite is a form of carbon and again the carbon atoms bond in such a way that there is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric current. Likewise, if we have an ionic substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to create a current but only when those ions are free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or dissolved in water. In its solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions cannot flow.

Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because they contain no charged particles or any charged particles they might contain do not flow easily. Water itself is a poor conductor or electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully charged particles (the ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is neutral). However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be more conductive than pure water. Many of the problems that occur when touching electrical devices with wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left on our skin through perspiration and it dissolves in the water to make it more conductive.

Read of 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 from 35 to 44

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct. What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals, such as Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world’s ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival and the survival of our planet.

Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves. They then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols to protect the animals. Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott of products made from endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself it will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed.

Question 35. What is the main topic of the passage?

A. the Bengal tiger B. international boycott

C. endangered species D. problems with industrialization

Question 36. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the world “alarming” in the first paragraph?

A. dangerous B. serious C. gripping D. distressing

Question 37. The word “poachers” as used in the first paragraph could best be replaced by which of the following?

A. illegal hunters B. enterprising researchers

C. concerned scientists D. trained hunters

Question 38. The word “callousness” in the first paragraph could best be replaced by which of the following?

A. indirectness B. independence C. incompetence D. insensitivity

Question 39. The above passage is divided into two paragraphs in order to contrast_______.

A. a problem and a solution B. a statement and an illustration

C. a comparison and contrast D. specific and general information

Question 40. What does the word “This” in the first paragraph refers to in the passage?

A. Bengal tigers B. Interest in material gain

C. Killing animals for personal satisfaction D. The decrease in the Bengal tiger population

One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C . Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction makes it one of the truly wonders of the world. The thirteen- acre structure near the Nile river is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber of the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west-an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshippers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.

Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events – past, present and future. . Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under investigation.
