Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 -35 
Cities develop as a result of functions that they can perform. Some functions result directly from the ingenuity of the citizenry, but most functions result from the needs of the local area and of the surrounding hinterland (the region that supplies goods to the city and to which the city furnishes services and other goods). Geographers often make a distinction between the situation and the site of a city. Situation refers to the general position in relation to the surrounding region, whereas site involves physical characteristics of the specific location. Situation is normally much more important to the continuing prosperity of a city. If a city is well situated in regard to its hinterland, its development is much more likely to continue. Chicago, for example, possesses an almost unparalleled situation: it is located at the southern end of a huge lake that forces east-west transportation lines to be compressed into its vicinity, and at a meeting of significant land and water transport routes. It also overlooks what is one of the world’s finest large farming regions. These factors ensured that Chicago would become a great city regardless of the disadvantageous characteristics of the available site, such as being prone to flooding during thunderstorm activity.
Similarly, it can be argued that much of New York City’s importance stems from its early and continuing advantage of situation. Philadelphia and Boston both originated at about the same time as New York and shared New York’s location at the western end of one of the world’s most important oceanic trade routes, but only New York possesses an easy-access functional connection (the Hudson-Mohawk lowland) to the vast Midwestern hinterland. This account does not alone explain New York’s primacy, but it does include several important factors. Among the many aspects of situation that help to explain why some cities grow and others do not, original location on a navigable waterway seems particularly applicable. Of course, such characteristic as slope drainage, power resources, river crossings, coastal shapes, and other physical characteristics help to dertermine city location, but such factors are normally more significant in early stages of city development than later.
Question 31. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The development of trade routes through United States cities
B. Contrasts in settlement patterns in United States C. Historical differences among three large United States cities
	D. The importance of geographical situation in the growth of United States cities
Question 32. The word “ingenuity” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________.
	A. wealth	B. resourcefulness 	C. traditions	D. organization
Question 33: According to the passage, a city’s situation is more important that its site in regard to the city’s _________. A. long-term growth and prosperity B. ability to protect its citizenry C. possession of favorable weather conditions D. need to import food supplies
Question 34. The author mentions each of the following as an advantage of Chicago’s location EXCEPT its _________. A. Hinterland B. nearness to a large lake C. position in regard to transport routes	D. flat terrain
Question 35. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to _________.
	A. account	B. primacy	C. connection	D. hinterland
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.
Nature has always provided a stimulus for inventive minds. Early flying machines clearly were an attempt to emulate the freedom of birds. Architects and engineers have often consciously modeled buildings on forms found in nature. A more recent example of the inspiration given by nature is the invention of Velcro. The inventor of this now common fastening device noticed that small burrs attached to his dog's coat grasped the hairs by means of tiny hooks. This led him to invent a synthetic fabric whose surfaces mimic the clasping properties of this natural seedpod. 
Animals and plants have evolved solutions to the kinds of problems that often interest engineers and designers. Much current research in material science is concerned with actively examining the natural world, especially at the molecular level, for inspiration to develop materials with novel properties. This relatively new field of study is sometimes known as biomimetics, since it consciously attempts to mimic nature. 
Researchers have investigated several interesting areas. For example, they have studied how the molecular structure of antler bone contributes to its amazing toughness, how the skin structure of a worm contributes to its ability to crawl, how the sea cucumber softens its skeleton and changes shape so that it can squeeze through tiny gaps in rocks, or what gives wood its high resistance to impact. These investigations have led to several breakthroughs in the development of composite materials with remarkable properties. 
Predictions for future inventions that may be developed from these lines of research include so-called smart structures that design and repair themselves in a similar way to a variety of processes in the natural world. For example, engineers have envisaged bridges that would detect areas heavily stressed by vehicle movement or wind. The bridge structure would then automatically add or move material to the weak areas until the stress is reduced. The same principle might be used to repair damaged buildings. Other new materials that have been imagined are substances that would copy photosynthesis in green plants in order to create new energy sources. The potential impact of biomimetic research is so great that the twenty-first century may come to be known as the "Age of Materials." 
Question 36: The passage is primarily concerned with _________. A. future research into the uses of Velcro B. the effect of the Age of Materials on nature C. the development of products based on nature 
	D. problems that preoccupy designers and engineers 
Question 37: The word “emulate” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________. 
	A. stimulate 	B. captivate 	C. imitate 	D. activate

The inventor of Velcro was very famous before his invention. D. It has set a trend for tiny hooklike structures in synthetic fabric. 
Question 39:The word “novel” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __________. 
	A. unique 	B. familiar 	C. fictitious 	D. legendary 
Question 40:Which of the following does the word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? 
	A. sea cucumber 	B. skeleton 	C. shape 	D. worm 
Question 41: According to the passage, what do investigations in biomimetics suggest? A. Biomimetics is not promising. B. Biomimetics may lead to the development of new creatures. C. Biomimetics may lead to useful inventions. D. Biomimetics has provided the new material for smart structures. 
Question 42: According to the passage, which of the following would NOT be a useful biomimetic product? A. Tomatoes mimicking the structures that give sea cucumbers the ability to squeeze through cracks B. Bulletproof jackets mimicking the structures that give wood its resistance to impact C. Glass in windshields mimicking the structures that give antler bone its toughness D. Cables mimicking the structures that give spiderwebs their flexibility and tensile strength
