Questions 46-55. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to

Europa is the smallest of planet Jupiter's four largest moons and the second moon out from Jupiter. Until 1979,
it was just another astronomy textbook statistic. Then came the close-up images obtained by the exploratory
spacecraft Voyager 2, and within days, Europa was transformed - in our perception, at least - into one of the

from far away. Even at close range, the only visible features are thin, kinked brown lines resembling cracks in
an eggshell. And this analogy is not far off the mark.

The surface of Europa is almost pure water ice, but a nearly complete absence of craters indicates that Europa's
surface ice resembles Earth's Antarctic ice cap. The eggshell analogy may be quite accurate since the ice could
be as little as a few kilometers thick - a true shell around what is likely a subsurface liquid ocean that, in turn,

encases a rocky core. The interior of Europa has been kept warm over the core by tidal forces generated by the
varying gravitational tugs of the other big moons as they wheel around Jupiter. The tides on Europa pull and
relax in an endless cycle. The resulting internal heat keeps what would otherwise be ice melted almost to the
surface.

The cracklike marks on Europa's icy face appear to be fractures where water or slush oozes from below. Soon
after Voyager 2's encounter with Jupiter in 1979, when the best images of Europa were obtained, researchers
advanced the startling idea that Europa's subsurface ocean might harbor life. Life processes could have begun
when Jupiter was releasing a vast store of internal heat. Jupiter's early heat was produced by the compression of
the material forming the giant planet. Just as the Sun is far less radiant today than the primal Sun, so the internal
heat generated by Jupiter is minor compared to its former intensity. During this warm phase, some 4.6 billion
years ago, Europa's ocean may have been liquid right to the surface, making it a crucible for life.

Questions 56-65. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the best answer to 
each of the following questions.

Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities
proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant returns home after
finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on the ground and depositing a
tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the context changes.
These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in either direction.

Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret from
members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as trail
pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working with the trail pheromone of

the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to lead a column of
ants three times around Earth.

The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects this
signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest concentration of
vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant moves to the right and
left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one and then the other antenna
into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in the vapor space. The signal it
receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until its right antenna reaches the
vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the trail.

A. The mass migration of ants B. How ants mark and follow a chemical trail

60. According to the passage, why do ants use different compounds as trail pheromones?

A. To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals. B. To attract different types of ants.

C. To protect their trail from other species. D. To indicate how far away the food is.

61. The author mentions the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant in the second paragraph to point out...

A. how little pheromone is needed to mark a trail
B. the different types of pheromones ants can produce
