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 28 to 34. 
Most weddings in Japan start with a religious ceremony in which usually only family members 
attend. Afterwards, a banquet is customarily held to which many people, including friends and 
colleagues, are invited. To celebrate the happy occasion, guests give the bride and groom goshuugi 
– gift money in special envelopes. Goshuugi from friends is usually 20,000 yen or 30,000 yen. 
A typical Japanese wedding party starts when the bride and groom enter the banquet hall 
together, and take their seats on a slightly raised platform facing their guests. Invited guests are 
seated closer to the bride and groom, with family and relatives seated further in back. The bride's 
and groom's bosses usually give congratulatory speeches then their friends sing in celebration. Other 
wedding highlights include a candle ceremony where the couple holds a candle while greeting their 
guests at each table, and the cutting of the wedding cake. Afterwards, the bride and groom thank 
their parents with a speech, then leave to end the party. 
In the past, dishes that supposedly brought good fortune, such as prawns and sea breams, were 
served in abundance. So much of the food was ordered that guests ended up taking the surplus home. 
Today, the majority of the weddings serve just enough for everyone. Additionally, before leaving, 
guests would traditionally receive souvenir gifts called hikidemono. 
Many wedding ceremonies take place at wedding halls or hotels. Rough estimates show that 
it costs about 3 million yen to host a wedding party for 80 guests. During Japan's economic bubble, 
overseas weddings and flamboyant receptions with special effects, such as smoke machines and 
having the bride and groom fly in on gondolas, were very popular. But these days, couples choose 
to tie the knot in various ways, from not having any ceremony to having a modest affair, or still 
going all out.

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 35 to 42. 
Humans are bringing about another global-scale change in the atmosphere: the increase in 
what are called greenhouse gases. Like glass in a greenhouse, these gases admit the Sun's light but 
tend to reflect back downward the heat that is radiated from the ground below, trapping heat in the 
Earth's atmosphere. This process is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide is the most 
significant of these gases – there is 25 percent more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today than 
there was a century ago, the result of our burning coal and fuels derived from oil. Methane, nitrous 
oxide, and CFCs are greenhouse gases as well. 
Scientists predict that increases in these gases in the atmosphere will make the Earth a warmer 
place. They expect a global rise in average temperature somewhere between 1.0 and 3.5 degrees 
Celsius in the next century. Average temperatures have in fact been rising and the years from 1987 
to 1997 were the warmest years on record. Some scientists are reluctant to say that global warming 
has actually begun because climate naturally varies from year to year and decade to decade, and it 
takes many years of records to be sure of a fundamental change. There is little disagreement, though, 
that global warming is looming. 
Global warming will have different effects in different regions. A warmed world is expected 
to have more extreme weather, with more rain during wet periods, longer droughts, and more 
powerful storms. Although the effects of future climate changes are unknown, some predict that 
exaggerated weather conditions may translate into better agricultural yields in areas such as the 
western United States, where temperature and rainfall are expected to increase, while dramatic 
decreases in rainfall may lead to severe droughts and plunging agricultural yields in parts of Africa, 
for example. 
Warmer temperatures are expected to partially melt the polar ice caps, leading to a projected 
sea level rise of 50 centimeters by the year 2050. A sea level rise of this magnitude would flood 
coastal cities, force people to abandon low-lying islands, and completely inundate coastal wetlands. 
Diseases like malaria, which at present are primarily found in the tropics, may become more 
common in the regions of the globe between the tropics and the polar regions, called the temperate 
zones. For many of the world's plant species, and for animal species that are not easily able to shift 
their territories as their habitat grows warmer, climate change may bring extinction.
