Library is a collection of books and other informational materials made available to people for reading,
study, or reference. The word library comes from liber, the Latin word for “book”. (33) , library
collections have almost always contained a variety of materials. Contemporary libraries maintain collections
that include not only printed materials such as manuscripts, books, newspapers, and magazines, but also
audio-visual and online databases. In addition to maintaining collections within library buildings, modern
libraries often feature telecommunications links that provide users with access to information at remote sites.
The central mission of a library is to collect, organize, preserve, and provide access to knowledge and
information. In fulfilling this mission, libraries preserve a valuable record of culture that can be passed down
to (34) generations. Libraries are an essential link in this communication between the past, present,
and future. Whether the cultural record is contained in books or in electronic formats, libraries ensure (35)
the record is preserved and made available for later use.
People use library resources to gain information about personal interests or to obtain recreational materials
such as films and novels. Students use libraries to supplement and enhance their classroom experiences, to
learn (36) in locating sources of information, and to develop good reading and study habits. Public
officials use libraries to research legislation and public policy issues. One of the most valued of all cultural
institutions, the library (37) information and services that are essential to learning and progress.

correctanswertoeachofthequestionsfrom 38 to 42.
Some people think that a spider is an insect, but it is an arachnid. Arachnids have two main body parts and
eight walking legs while insects have three main body parts and six legs. Many insects can fly, but spiders
cannot fly.
There are many different kinds of spiders around the world. They come in different colors, such as black,
brown, white, yellow, and orange. Spiders usually live for one year but a spider called the Tarantula lives as
long as 20 years. Some spiders are very small but some are so large they can fit a dinner plate.
The most unusual thing is that a spider can spin a web. Spiders have silk in their stomach and they use the
silk to make a web. The web is the spider's home. But the spider does not stick to its own web because its
legs have oil them. It is very strong and sticky. The web is used to catch insects. When an insect is trapped
on a spider's web, the spider wraps the insect in silk. It eats the insect at a later time. However, the spider
does not really eat it. Since it has no teeth, it puts venom in the insect to make it a liquid.
Question 38: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Facts about spiders B. The parts of a spider's body
C. How a spider makes its home D. The eating habits of spiders

correctanswertoeachofthequestionsfrom 43 to 50.
Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effects of global warming. Scientists
have already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier
and birds hatching earlier in the spring. Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual
migration patterns due to warmer temperatures.
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate toward the poles and up mountainsides toward higher
elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm. In
many places, however, human development will prevent these shifts. Species that find cities or farmland
blocking their way north or south may become extinct. Species living in unique ecosystems, such as those
found in polar and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because migration to new habitats is not
possible. For example, polar bears and marine mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by dwindling
sea ice but have nowhere farther north to go.
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some scientists have estimated
that 20 to 50 percent of species could be committed to extinction with 2 to 3 Celsius degrees of further
warming. The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some
species and even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough
and may disappear.
Ocean ecosystems, especially fragile ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by global warming. Warmer
ocean temperatures can cause coral to “bleach”, a state which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral.
Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of additional warming could lead to widespread bleaching and
death of coral reefs around the world. Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean
and increases the acidity of ocean waters. This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems.
Question 43: Scientists have observed that warmer temperatures in the spring cause flowers to .
A. die instantly B. bloom earlier C. become lighter D. lose color
Question 44: According to paragraph 2, when their habitats grow warmer, animals tend to move .
A. south-eastwards and down mountainsides toward lower elevations
B. north-westwards and up mountainsides toward higher elevations
C. toward the North Pole and down mountainsides toward lower elevations
D. toward the poles and up mountainsides toward higher elevations
Question 45: The pronoun “those” in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. species B. ecosystems C. habitats D. areas
Question 46: It is mentioned in the passage that if the global temperature rose by 2 or 3 Celsius degrees,
.
A. half of the earth’s surface would be flooded
B. the sea level would rise by 20 centimeters
C. water supply would decrease by 50 percent
D. 20 to 50 percent of species could become extinct
Question 47: According to the passage, if some species are not able to adjust quickly to warmer
temperatures, .
A. they may be endangered B. they can begin to develop
C. they will certainly need water D. they move to tropical forests
Question 48: The word “fragile” in paragraph 4 most probably means .
A. very large B. easily damaged C. rather strong D. pretty hard
Question 49: The bleaching of coral reefs as mentioned in paragraph 4 indicates .
A. the water absorption of coral reefs B. the quick growth of marine mammals
C. the blooming phase of sea weeds D. the slow death of coral reefs
Question 50: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Influence of climate changes on human lifestyles
