Humans aren’t the only ones who have a sweet tooth.
It turns out that pandas love sugar 26 .
Researchers wanted to find out if pandas could taste sweetness in foods, so
they carried out a(n) 27 .
They gave some pandas two bowls, one filled with plain water and one with sugar
water. 28 they found is that the pandas always preferred
the sweet water. Out of all the sugars used, they liked fructose and sucrose
the most. These are the same sugars that human find the sweetest. Scientists
were 29 about this subject because many meat-eaters
can’t taste sweet food. The reason for this is that meat has no sugar in it. 30 , they lose the ability to taste sugar in
food or drinks. Pandas, however, are not meat-eaters. In the wild, they only
eat bamboo, which is extremely low in sugar. Despite this, 31 many plant-eaters, pandas do respond well to
sugar. Animals that eat plants can taste sugar easily, so they know which
plants are highest in calories. Pandas in zoos, 32 the
cub Bao Bao in Washington DC, also enjoy sweet foods such as sweet potatoes.

Boat Burning Festival.
The festival lasts for eight
days, and the climax comes when an enormous wooden boat 35 . This is done to calm the Wang Yeh, which
are spirits 36 to bring disease. The boat is filled with
offerings—ghost money, rice, and fruit—and 37 down to the shore. Then more ghost money and

Angry Birds has been one of the biggest mobile gaming
hits of the last few years. In fact, it’s more than just a game. There are
Angry Birds theme parks, TV shows, and countless products, and there’s even an
Angry Birds movie in the works. But what makes this game so popular? One
of the main reasons is that the game is both simple and engaging. It’s
basically a puzzle game. The idea of Angry Birds is for the player to shoot
birds at structures containing pigs and knock them down. This sounds simple
enough, and what’s more, there are lines that show how the birds will strike
the targets, making it easier to attack the structures. The game has perfected
the response time so that the players have just enough time to plan their
attacks. There are different types of birds that attack in different ways, so
players must learn how best to use each one. The game has been called both
“addictive,” and “just frustrating enough so that users don’t switch off and play
something else instead.” The app also has good sound and a good design, and the
fact that you can replay levels to improve your score keeps users coming back
for more. All of these things contribute to the game’s popularity. Fans of
puzzle games should definitely give Angry Birds a try.

Large areas of the South China Sea are claimed by
several places, including Taiwan, the Philippines, and China. Disputes over
these waters are common, but in May 2013, a Taiwanese fisherman was shot and
killed by the Philippine Coast Guard. The incident made people in Taiwan angry,
and put both governments in an awkward position, with neither side willing to back
down until demands were met. There are always two sides to any story, and
this incident is no different. Taiwanese fishermen say they’re constantly
harassed by the Philippines Coast Guard, which demands money from fishermen
they stop, and threatens to shoot anyone who does not obey. On the other hand,
Filipino fishermen, who are poor and don’t fish for commercial purposes, claim
their livelihoods are being threatened because Taiwanese boats are larger, more
advanced, and can catch more fish. In truth, resources are a major issue. The
waters in question are home to valuable tuna fishing grounds. The region is
also believed to be rich in oil and natural gas. In the end, the Filipino
authorities charged the coast guard members involved in the incident. A
government official also apologized in person to the fisherman’s family.
Relations between Taiwan and the Philippines slowly got back to normal, with
both sides learning lessons that will hopefully ensure that there are no
further tragic confrontations.

few years.

comparison between Taiwanese and Philippine fishing boasts.
(C) The
abundant resources of the South China Sea.
(D) A
conflict between a fishing boat and some coast guards on the South China Sea.
47. Which definition matches the underlined phrase “back down” in
the first paragraph?
(A) To quit
an argument. (B)
To go to war immediately.
(C) To share
things with others. (D)
To reject unfair treatment.
48. What is implied about Taiwanese fishing boats?

the biggest in the world. (B)
They have strong weapons.

more efficient than Filipino boats. (D)
