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 9 to 16
Mr. Faugel was convinced that students’ nervousness had affected their scores; to reduce the anxiety of
these students who had already been tested, he gave 22 of them a beta blocker before reading ministration

of the test. Their scores improved significantly. The other 8 students (who did not receive the beta blockers)
improved only slightly. Second-time test-takers nationwide had average improvements which were similar
to those in Faugel's non-beta blocker group.
Beta blockers are prescription drugs which have been around for 25 years. These medications, which
interfere with the effects of adrenal in, have been used for heart conditions and for minor stress such as
stage fright. Now they are used for the test anxiety. These drugs seem to help test-takers who have low
scores because of test fright, but not those who do not know the material. Since there can be side effects

from these beta blockers, physicians are not ready to prescribe them routinely for all test-takers.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions, from 17 to 23
Today, Id like to begin a discussion on the problem of the heating up of the earth. First, we’ll touch on
the relationship between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably remember that the ozone layer is
the protective shield around the earth. It is important to all life, because it filters out harmful ultraviolet
light from the sun. Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is regularly made by the action of the sun in the upper
atmosphere. It is also regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes.
The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being destroyed. Scientists suspect that certain
chemicals, such as fluoro-carbons, are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. And how do we use
fluoro-carbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling systems. The chemical pollution from
these fluoro-carbons can account for some of the ozone losses that have been reported. There are, however,

new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone layer. We’ll go into that new study more next
time.

Question 17: Who is the most likely speaker?
A. A chemist
B. A professor

C. A mechanic

D. A doctor

Question 18: What does the word "filters out" in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. stops
B. keeps
C. prevents
D. separates
Question 19: What is the most important purpose of the ozone layer?

B. Providing fluorocarbons
C. Destroying chemicals
D. Shielding the sun

Question 20: What does the word "depletion" in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. deletion
B. deployment
C. departure
D.destruction
