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 1 to 5
Students who stay up all night to cram for an exam are doing themselves more harm than good,
according to research into the link between sleep and memory published yesterday.
Scientists at Harvard Medical School discovered that people who deprive themselves of sleep so that
they can study until the last minute are unlikely to remember anything that would improve their
performance, while suffering the crippling effects of fatigue. The scientists found that the brain needs
good-quality sleep immediately after practicing a task if it is to learn to improve at it. Those who substitute
study for sleep, particularly those who miss deep or “slow-wave” sleep will get little benefit from their
extra effort.
The findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, add to a growing body of evidence that sleep is vital
to the learning process. The results, Professor Stickgold said, suggest that a good night’s sleep
immediately after learning is “absolutely required” to embed new skills in the memory. “We think that
the first night’s sleep starts the process of memory consolidation,” he said. “It seems that memories

normally wash out of the brain unless some process nails them down. My suspicion is that sleep is one
of those things that nails them down.”

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 6 to 12
Anyone who has seen either of Disney’s animated feature films Finding Nemo or Finding Dory will
recognise a clownfish when they see one. In the first film, Nemo is caught by fishermen, prompting his
father to set out on a daunting journey in order to bring Nemo home. Though captivating, the plot of the
film pales in comparison with the real-life story of the clownfish, and the symbiotic relationship it has
with its sea-anemone home.
Back at the reef, there is a rigid hierarchy among the half dozen or so clownfish that occupy each host
anemone. At the top of the group is the largest fish, the dominant female, and next in line is the dominant
male. When the female dies, a startling transformation takes place: the dominant male gets larger and
changes sexes, replacing its deceased partner as the dominant female.
However, finding a home on the reef is easier said than done. Not only do the larve have to dodge
predatory fish in search of their next meal, but they also face rejection from their own kind if they approach
the wrong anemone. Clownfish are extremely protective of their group and will chase off other clownfish
that don’t fit into their hierarchy.
Although highly poisonous, these waving arms that move with the ocean currents do not seem to affect
the clownfish. Apparently, the fish manage to avoid the toxin by rubbing against the anemone, covering
themselves in its mucus. This coating seems to trick the anemone into thinking the fish is part of the

anemone, allowing the clownfish to shelter inside. But this is not the only service they provide. Scientists
have recently found that the clownfish is much more valuable to the anemone than it was previously
thought.
To understand this phenomenon, the team decided to film the behavior of the clownfish within the
anemone. What they witnessed left them stunned..
These findings highlight the profound importance of this symbiotic relationship for the sea anemone as
well as the clownfish. It has long been known that the clownfish would be lost, without its anemone home,
but now we are also aware that the anemone would be doomed without the clownfish.
(Adapted from Solutions Advanced 3rd Edition by Tim Falla and Paul A Davies)
Question 6. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Symbiotic relationship of anemone and clownfish B. Benefits of clownfish to the anemone

D. Importance of clownfish and anemone
Question 7. The phrase “pales in comparison” in paragraph 1 mostly means ______
A. not the same
B. far from the truth
C. seem less serious
D. failed expectations
Question 8. According to the passage, when the female fish perishes, the male partner will ________
A. become bigger and switches sexes to female B. be the largest fish and takes over the anemone
C. be on the top of the hierarchy
D. become the dominant male in the hierarchy
Question 9. The word “its” in paragraph 4 refers to _______
A. clownfish
B. reef
C. predatory fish
D. anemone
Question 10. The word “doomed” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to _________
A. dead
B. condemned

C. ruined
D. intact
Question 11. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?
A. There is a rigid hierarchy among the dozen or so clownfish that inhabit each host anemone
B. Even in their own hierarchy, clownfish face rejection by their own kind.
C. By performing some kinds of movements, clownfish lead the anemone to a confusion
D. To protect themselves from the anemone, the clownfish cover their bodies with their mucus.
