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
	Fertilizer is any substance that can be added to the soil to provide chemical elements essential for plant nutrition so that the yield can be increased. Natural substances such as animal droppings, ashes from wood fires, and straw have been used as fertilizers in fields for thousands of years, and lime has been used since Romans introduced it during the Empire. It was not until the nineteenth century, however, that chemical fertilizer became widely accepted as normal agricultural practice. Today, both natural and synthetic fertilizers are available in a variety of forms.
	A complete fertilizer is usually marked with a formula consisting of three numbers, such as 4-8-2 or 6-6-4, which designate the percentage of content of nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash in the order stated. Synthetic fertilizers, produced by factories, are available in either solid or liquid form. Solids, in the shape of chemical granules, are in demand because they are not only easy to store but also easy to apply. Recently, liquids have shown as increase in popularity, accounting for 20 percent of the nitrogen fertilizer used throughout the world. Formerly, powders were also used, but they were found to be less convenient than either solids or liquids.
	Fertilizers have no harmful effects on the soil, the crop, or the customer as long as they are used according to recommendations based on the result of local research. Occasionally, however, farmers may use more fertilizer than necessary, in which case the plants do not need, and therefore do not absorb, the total amount of fertilizer applied to the soil. The surplus of fertilizer thus can damage not only the crop but also the animals or human beings that eat the crop. Furthermore, fertilizer that is not used in the production of a healthy plant is leached into the water table. Accumulations of chemical fertilizer in the water supply accelerate the growth of algae and, consequently, may disturb the natural cycle of life, contributing to the death of fish. Too much fertilizer on grass can cause digestive disorders in cattle and in infants who drink cow’s milk. Fertilizer must be used with great attention to responsible use or it can harm the environment.
Question 36: With which of the following topics in the passage primarily concerned?
	A. Local research and harmful effects of fertilizer	B. Advantages and disadvantages of liquid fertilizer
	C. A formula for the production of fertilizer	D. Content, form, and effects of fertilizer..

Question 38: Which of the following has the smallest percentage content in the formula 4-8-2?
	A.Nitrogen	B. Phosphorus	C. Acid	D. Potash
Question 39: What is the percentage of nitrogen in a 5-8-7 formula fertilizer?
	A. 3 percent	B. 5 percent	C. 7 percent	D. 8 percent

	A. Powders are more popular than ever	B. Solids are difficult to store
	C. Liquids are increasing in popularity.	D. Chemical granules are difficult to apply

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
	Although speech is generally accepted as the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using words. In every known culture, signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are commonly utilized as instruments of communication. There is a great deal of agreement among communication scientists as to what each of these methods is and how each differs from the others. For instance, the basic function of any signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes that can be applied in a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication through these dots and dashes -short and long intervals as the circuit is broken - is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain agreed upon meaning; that is, they convey information in and of themselves. Two examples are the hexagonal red sign that conveys the meaning of stop, and the red and white swirled pole outside a shop that communicates the meaning of barber.
	Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s culture perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. In other cultures, if done in unison, applauding can be a symbol of the audience’s discontent with the performance. Gestures such as weaving and handshaking also communicate certain culture messages. Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they also have a major disadvantage in communication. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. Without an exchange of ideas, interaction comes to a halt. As a result, means of communication intended to be used across long distances and extended periods must be based upon speech. To radio, television, and the telephone, one must add fax, paging systems, electronic mail, and the internet, and no one doubts but that there are more means of communication on the horizon.

	A. Signs and Signals     	C. Communication	B. Gestures                          D. Speech

Question 45: The word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to
	A. function        	B. signal          	C. environment	D. way
Question 46: The word intricate in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by which of the following?
	A. inefficient         	B. complicated    	C. historical	D. uncertain
Question 47: Applauding was cited as an example of ______.
	A. a signal        	B. a sign            	 C. a symbol	D. a gesture
Question 48: Why were the telephone, radio, and TV invented?
	A. People were unable to understand signs, symbols, and signals
	B. People wanted to communicate across long distance
	C. People believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete
	D. People wanted new forms of entertainment

	B. symbols are very easy to define and interpret.
	C. only some cultures have signals, signs, and symbols
