The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to read and write, or the ability to use

(25)_____ for communication, or at a level that lets one understand and communicate ideas in a literate society
so as to take (26) ______ in that society. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization 2


(UNESCO) has drafted the following definition: “Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create,
communicate and compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy
involves a continuum of learning to enable an individual to achieve his or her goals, to develop his, or her
knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in the wider society.”
Many policy analysts consider literacy rates a crucial measure of a region’s human capital. This claim is
made on the (27) _____ that literate people can be trained less expensively than illiterate people, generally have
a higher socio-economic status and enjoy better health and employment prospects. Policy makers also argue that

An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in
such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air pollution requires a very
flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were established in England
in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry
from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the
health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even
water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.
Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides,
are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various
chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification
scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature's output
of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities.
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such a region, human
output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result
is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects
appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities.
The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us
little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area.
Question 30. What does the passage mainly discuss? 3


A. The economic impact of air pollution.
B. What constitutes an air pollutant.
C. How much harm air pollutants can cause.
D. The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere.
Question 31. The word "adversely" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _______. A. negatively B. quickly C. admittedly D. considerably
Question 32. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that __________.
A. water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas
B. most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled
C. the definition of air pollution will continue to change
D. a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities
Question 33. The word “These” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A. The various chemical reactions
B.The pollutants from the developing Earth
C.The compounds moved to the water or soil 6
D. The components in biogeochemical cycles
Question 34. According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions ___.
A. can be dwarfed by nature’s output of pollutants
B. can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants
C. will damage areas outside of the localized regions
D. will react harmfully with natural pollutants
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.
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded annually and the first woman to win this prize was Baroness Bertha Felicie
Sophie von Suttner in 1905. In fact, her work inspired creation of the Prize. The first American woman to win
the prize was Jane Addams, in 1931. However, Addams is best known as the founder of Hull House.
Jane Addams was born in 1860, into a wealthy family. She was one of a small number of women in her
generation to graduate from college. Her commitment to improving the lives of those around her led her to
work for social reform and world peace. In the 1880s Jane Addams travelled to Europe. While she was in
London, she visited a “settlement house” called Toynbee Hall. Inspired by Toynbee Hall, Addams and her
friends, Ellen Gates Starr, opened Hull House in a neighborhood of slums in Chicago in 1899. Hull House
provided a day care center for children of working mothers, a community kitchen, and visiting nurses. Addams
and her staff gave classes in English literacy, art and other subjects. Hull House also became a meeting place for
clubs and labor unions. Most of the people who worked with Addams in Hull House were well educated,
middle-class women. Hull House gave them an opportunity to use their education and it provided a training
ground for careers in social work. 4
