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. 
When naming a child, some parents seem to choose a name based simply on their personal 
preference. In other families, grandparents or professional name-makers come up with a child's 
name. In some cases, the time of a child's birth influences how the child's name is determined. 
In many European cultures, names are typically chosen by parents. Parents' choice for their 
child's name may be based on names of their relatives or ancestors. For example, in Italy, children 
are traditionally named after their grandparents. The parents generally use the father's parents' names 
first. If they have more children, then they will use the mother's parents' names. Similarly, some 
people in Eastern Europe name their children after relatives who have died. This tradition is seen as 
a means to protect the child from the Angel of Death. 
Traditionally in some Asian countries, a child's grandfather or a fortune-teller chooses the 
child's name. In contrast to the tradition of naming children after relatives, the child's name is chosen 
to influence the child's character. For example, names may be based on a connection to certain 
elements such as fire, water, earth, wood, or metal. Or the name might include a written character 
meaning beauty, strength, or kindness. 
In certain African cultures, when a child is born plays a large part in determining the child's 
name. In Ghana's Akan culture, the day a child is born determines the child's name. But each day 
has different names for boys and girls. For instance, a boy born on Friday is named Kofi, whereas a 
girl born on the same day is named Afua. Both Kofi and Afua mean "wanderer" or "explorer." 
Children with these names are seen as travelers. 
No matter where the name comes from, a child's name is the first gift in life. Whether the name 
is chosen according to preference or dictated by tradition, it reflects something about a child's 
culture. For that reason, all names should be treasured and respected.

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 43 to 50. 
Tropical rainforests are being destroyed and badly degraded at an unsustainable rate. Some 
scientists estimate that in the early 1990s tropical forests were being destroyed at a rate of 
approximately 28 hectares a minute, or about 14 million hectares each year – an area about the size 
of the state of Wisconsin. This figure marked a decrease since the 1980s, when approximately 16 
million hectares were destroyed each year, largely due to a reported decline of deforestation in the 
Amazon River Basin in the early 1990s. However, satellite images indicate that rates may have 
rebounded in the late 1990s as burning in the Amazon increased again. Over the past three decades 
alone, about 5 million square kilometers – or 20 percent of the world's tropical forests – have been 
cleared. During this time, deforestation in tropical Asia reached almost 30 percent. High rates of 
deforestation are inevitably followed by alarming rates of plant and animal extinction because many 
rainforest species cannot survive outside their pristine rainforest habitat. Some scientists estimate 
that dozens of rainforest species are becoming extinct every day. 
Causes of deforestation vary from location to location, but certain patterns tend to be consistent 
across all forests. Logging companies in search of valuable rainforest hardwoods, or, less often, oil 
companies in search of petroleum, are often the first to enter a remote area of rainforest. Some logged 
forests, if left alone, can regenerate in a few decades. But typically, they are not left alone – the 
roads built by logging companies often provide access for landless farmers to enter a new area, as 
well as a means to transport agricultural crops to market. For every 1 kilometer of new roads built 
through a forested area, 4 to 24 square kilometers are deforested and colonized. 
Once the loggers leave the land, a typical cycle of destruction ensues. When the landless 
farmers arrive, they clear the land for planting. Poor rainforest soils produce a low crop yield, 
especially after a couple of years. At that point, the farmers often sell their lands to cattle ranchers 
or large plantation owners. After nutrients have been exhausted and soils compacted by cattle, lands 
are then abandoned and often laid to waste. Rainforest does not readily regenerate on these lands 
without human intervention. Meanwhile, the colonist farmers and cattle ranchers move to a new 
piece of land made accessible by logging roads, where the cycle of deforestation begins again.
