題
Scientists have recently
made a new discovery
about Earth’s tallest animal, the giraffe. Until now, scientists have believed
that giraffes
belonged to one species, with several subspecies distinguished by their different
patterns. However, after examining
the giraffes’ DNA, they’ve
recognized that there are actually four separate species.
The study showed evidence that the four species shared a common ancestor
around one to two million years ago. However, there
is nothing to indicate
that
the species have
crossbred or exchanged
genes with each other since then. To the scientists, this is clear
evidence that the four species are distinct from each
other.
Conservation was the study’s initial goal. Scientists wanted to understand how the
different subspecies
of giraffe
might be affected if they were
mixed together in protected animal reservations. This discovery shows that each species of giraffe may require different methods of conservation,
because each species may require
totally different environments
and diets than the others.
2016 super 12-5
Giraffe populations have declined 40% since 2001, with only an estimated 90,000 giraffes left in the wild. While giraffes as a whole are not included on the endangered species list, the discovery may prove that each species
is progressing
in a different
way.
Therefore, the scientists’
next
project is to study what each species needs to survive, and
how
to effectively protect each
species.
C 32. What would be
a good title for this
passage?
(A) Scientists Discover New Subspecies of Giraffe
(B) Giraffe Populations over the Past 15 Years
(C) Surprising Discovery Could Help Protect
Giraffes
(D) A Study of Ancient
Animals: The Giraffe
B 33. According to the article,
scientists .
(A) have known about the four
different species of giraffe since 2001
(B) have separated one species of giraffe into four
species recently
(C) can prove that each species
of giraffe has mated
with each other
(D) are not able to show that
the giraffe species have distinct DNA
D 34.
What is one thing that the study
did NOT show?
(A) That the four
giraffe species may need different
conservation approaches.
(B) That the four
giraffe species developed from a common
ancestor.
(C) That female
giraffes have only bred with their own
species.
(D) That mixing
the giraffes in protected
areas shouldn’t cause problems.
C 35. The underlined word “declined” can
be replaced with .
(A) enlarged
(B) influenced
(C) decreased
(D) doubled
B 36. Which of the
following is implied
in the passage?
(A) Giraffe populations will begin to rise thanks
to this study.
(B) Scientists have yet to figure
out how best to protect the giraffes.
(C) More than 90,000 giraffes live in protected animal
reservations in Africa.
(D) Giraffes were once listed
on the endangered list.

題
Thailand completed construction on the MahaNakhon, the country’s tallest building, and opened it to the public in August 2016. However, if you look at the MahaNakhon,
which
is in central Bangkok, you could be forgiven for thinking that the building wasn’t finished at all.
2016 super 12-6
A ribbon of open space winds its way around the sides of the building from top to bottom, giving the impression
that the builders have not yet put in all
of the exterior walls.
In fact, this is part of the MahaNakhon’s design. The open spaces are not truly open,
but have been built with glass walls, which provide
magnificent views of the city. The glass
walls are spaced out, which makes the MahaNakhon’s ribbon of open spaces look a little
like
the pixels on an old-fashioned computer
screen. The designer, German architect
Ole Scheeren, says this stops the huge tower from dominating Bangkok’s skyline.
Scheeren, who lived in Thailand in the 1990s, says that Bangkok is a mixture of old traditions
and modern ideas, which inspired
him to come up with the MahaNakon’s design. He has won a number
of design awards for this project.
The building itself is 314.2 meters high, and has 77 floors. It is home
to
restaurants, high-end stores, a hotel, and some of Bangkok’s most expensive
apartments. There is also
an
outdoor square than connects the MahaNakhon with the closest subway station. It’s
certain to catch the attention
of every visitor to Thailand’s
capital for decades to come.
B 37. What is the main purpose
of this article?
(A) To introduce some tourist spots in
Bangkok, Thailand.
(B) To talk about a new and
unusual building in Bangkok.
(C) To talk about the tallest
buildings in Southeast
Asia.
(D) To talk about the work of the architect Ole Scheeren.
D 38. What is said about the MahaNahkon’s design?
(A) It looks like many other
skyscrapers in Thailand.
(B) There are many ribbons that hang from the walls.
(C) One side of the building
was built with glass walls.
(D) There are open spaces
on all sides of the structure.
B 39. According to the article,
Ole Scheeren .
(A) has lived in Thailand
since the 1990s
(B) received numerous awards for his work
(C) was inspired by a building
from Germany
(D) has not completed designing
the building
A 40. What is implied about
Thai culture in the article?
(A) It strikes a balance between
the old and the new.
(B) It is focused
on making things bigger and better.
(C) It sticks to many of its
outdated traditions.
(D) It is heavily influenced by German design ideas.

C 41.
Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
(A) The MahaNahkon contains its own subway station.
(B) Most of the MahaNahkon is occupied by hotels and restaurants.
(C) People can rent apartments inside
the MahaNahkon.
(D) The stores in the
MahaNahkon are mostly on the higher floors.
