Part Four : Reading (Items 46 – 60)Read the following texts and choose the best answer.Items 46 – 50
Human ability to alter the surface of the earth is rivaled among biological organisms only by colonies of tiny coral polyps, which over eons of geologic time form massive reefs of limestone. True reef corals are limited in geographical distribution to the clear warm sunlit waters of the tropical regions of the oceans ; they are found in the great reef tracts of the Indo - Pacific and western Atlantic.
Reefs, of which there are three major types, become important additions to the land in tropical areas, forming entire chains of islands and altering the shorelines of continents. Fringing reefs grow in shallow water and border a coast closely. Barrier reefs also parallel a coast but are farther away from it, are larger, and are continuous for greater distances. Atolls are rings of coral islands enclosing a central lagoon, and hundreds of them dot the South Pacific. Consisting of reefs several thousand Meyers across, many atolls are formed on ancient volcanic cones that have subsided, with the rate of growth of the coral matching the rate of the cone’s sinking.
This explanation of atolls was proposed by Darwin during the voyage of the Beagle and was confirmed in the 1950s by the United States Geological Survey when its extensive drilling programs on Pacific atolls hit volcanic rock hundreds of meters down.
46. What would be an appropriate title for this passage ?

47. The passage states that changes caused by coral polyps __________
1. are limited in scope2. take many thousands of years3. exceed those produce by man4. can rapidly change the topography of an area
48. Reefs are significant in that they can ___________1. change the shapes of land masses2. enclose lagoons3. provide extremely fertile soil4. affect entire food chains
49. The rate of growth of atolls is often determined by ___________.
1. their nearness to the coast2. the temperature of the lagoon water3. the movement of their volcanic bases4. the frequency of storms in the area
50. United States Geological Survey research on reefs found that ___________.
1. the largest barrier reed is a thousand meters long
2. there are one hundred lagoons in the South Pacific
3. atolls are made of volcanic rock4. Darwin’s theory of atolls was correct
Items 51 – 55
In some faraway Turkish village of Kuskoy, whistling is as important as talking. In fact, whistling is talking because the villagers speak and sing by whistling. Kuskoy parents begin to teach their boys and girls the language of whistling about the time the children learn to talk. It is considered so important that the village school includes it as one of the subjects taught along with the Turkish language.
This art of communication has taken centuries to develop. The village of Kuskoy spreads out across two hillsides that are separated by a deep valley. The villagers had to find an easy way to communicate where their voices couldn’t carry. They developed a high - pitched whistle language that could be transmitted as far as five miles through air. As a result, Kuskoy, which means “bird village” in Turkish, has come to be known as a whistler’s paradise.
Whistling is so much part of everyday life in Kuskoy that men and women speak, argue, and court in whistles. The story was recently told of a young couple who eloped. The news was sent over the “mountain telephone” by whistling. The lover’s adventure was quickly known to all the villagers.
It is little wonder, then, that the children of Kuskoy study whistling in school. Wouldn’t it be fun to start the school day with a song - whistled of course!
51. In the story, Kuskoy is the name of _____________.
1. a man 2. a country3. a town 4. a village
52. The children of Kuskoy learn to whistle because __________.
1. it is fun2. it is an important way to communicate3. it helps them learn to sing4. it is like the Turkish language
53. In Kuskou, whistling as a way of talking started ________.
1. recently 2. hundreds of years ago
3. fifty years ago 4. ten years ago
54. The high - pitched whistle can heard at a distance of _________
1. 10 km 2. 5 km3. 15 km 4. 8 km
55. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this story?
1. To Learn Whistle Is Very Important.2. Whistling Is Fun.3. Whistling - The Mountain Telephone.4. The Strange Turkish Language.
