Human beings have a superpower- SWEATING. When temperatures rise, beads of sweat exude from
our pores and evaporate, releasing energy that cools the skin and keeps our bodies (26) _______
overheating. This self-cooling mechanism has helped humans spread to (27) _______ hot and humid
corner of the globe. But that sweating superpower has a limit. When it gets too hot and humid, the
laws of physics inhibit sweat from cooling skin. That limit is hit when a bulb thermometer wrapped in
a wet towel (a measure of heat and humidity (28) _______ is known as "wet-bulb" temperature) reads
35° Celsius 95" Fahrenheit. Even the fittest human supplied with unlimited water would probably die
after a few hours in these conditions.

warms due to global warming, wet-bulb temperatures around 35°C could become more common
toward the end of the century in certain regions, endangering hundreds of millions of people.

correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.

While previous generations of American students have had to sit through tests, never have the tests
been given so frequently and never have they played such a prominent role in schooling. Exams used
to be administered mostly to decide where to place kids or what kind of help they needed, only
recently have scores been published in the newspaper and used as the primary criteria for judging
children, teachers, and schools. Indeed, scores are used as the basis for flunking students, denying
them a diploma, deciding where money should be spent, and so on. Tests have lately become a
mechanism by which public officials can impose their will on schools and they are doing so with a
vengeance.

This situation is also unusual from an international perspective. "Few countries today give these
formal examinations to students before the age of sixteen or so,” two scholars report.

“In the U.S, we give standardized tests to children as young as six, despite the fact that almost all

experts in early childhood education condemn this practice”.

In short, our children are tested to an extent that is unprecedented in our history and unparalleled
anywhere else in the world. Rather than seeing this as odd, or something that needs to be defended,
many of us have come to take it for granted. The result is that most of today's discourse about
education has been reduced to a crude series of monosyllables: “Test scores are too low. Make them
go up.”

Question 31: The passage suggests that administering standardized tests to children as young as six is
_______ .

A. helpful in determining whether a particular student should be promoted

B. not beneficial to the children involved.

C. crucial to judge their academic ability.

D. seldom done in America schools.

Question 32: The word "discourse” in paragraph 3 mostly means _______ .

A. warning B. curriculum C. discussion D. agreement

Question 33: According to the passage, public officials use standardized tests to _______ .

A. impose their will on schools B. decide where to enroll their own children

C. decide where to place kids D. humiliate failing students

Question 34: The word “they” in paragraph 1 refers to_____.

A. students B. standardized tests C. public officials D. schools

Question 35: Which could be the best title of the passage?

A. Testing System and Its Victims B. An Unparalleled Testing System

C. Standardized Tests in America D. The Future of Tests in America

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 from 36 to 42

Indulging oneself is a common coping strategy that proves of almost no value in helping us deal with
problems. Consider the example of Doug. His girlfriend of 18 months has just broken up with him.
Doug has dived into a number of self-indulgent habits that he had previously held to a minimum. He
is smoking at least a pack of cigarettes a day. As soon as he is home from work, he pours himself a
slug of Corona Extra - a beverage he continues to sip through the evening until he passes out. On the
weekends, he hits a nearby casino with some fellow single friends and gambles far more than he can
afford to lose.

Doug would describe each of these behaviors - smoking, drinking, and gambling - as pleasurable.
And yet, when practiced to excess, each of them has a negative effect on his overall well-being. None
of them addresses the problem that is the source of his stress - why his relationship with his girlfriend
has ended.

People who respond to stressful events by indulging themselves are attempting to compensate for a
lack of satisfaction in one area of their lives by providing themselves with a form of satisfaction.
Drinking, smoking, binge eating, shopping sprees, drug use, and gambling are all forms of self-
indulgence commonly used to compensate for stressful events. Not surprisingly, this form of coping
leads to its own problems, in the shape of poor physical health, addiction, and financial problems.

A recent form of this maladaptive coping style is seen in people who respond to the stress of daily
life by spending excessive amount of time online. Some people become so immersed in the virtual
world of online games, websites, social networking, and so on, that it seems no exaggeration to call
them "Internet addicts." People who spend an inordinate amount of time on the Internet often describe
themselves as feeling empty, lost, depressed, and anxious when they are not able to be online. Their
real-life relationships, as well as their ability to function at work or at school, suffer as they become
more immersed in their online activities. Like other forms of self-indulgence as coping strategy,
Internet overuse can end up creating, rather than solving problems in the subject's life.

Question 36: The word “inordinate" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______

A. unusual B. insignificant C. modest D. excessive

Question 37: Which statement is TRUE, according to the passage?

A. Self-indulgence as a coping strategy can create rather than solve problems in one's life.

B. People who respond to the stresses of daily life have better real-life relationships.

C. Addiction to substances such as drugs, alcohol, and food is as troublesome as Internet addiction.
D. People should be encouraged to engage in self-indulgent behaviors to release stress.

Question 38: What is the source of Doug's stress?

A. the fact that he gambles far more than he can afford to lose

B. his breakup with his girlfriend

C. his excessive drinking

D. the fact that he spends excessive time on the virtual world
