Questions 20 to 22 refer to the following text.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literatures, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony.
Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards are gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money. The awards are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges’ decision. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prices.

20. What is the text about?
A. Invention of dynamite.

Questions 23 to 26 refer to the following text.

The Japanese Bobtail is a chiseled, angular cat, whose smooth coat should hint at the porcelain statues modeled after them. The tail for which the breed is named is short (should not extend more than 3 inches from the body of the show specimen), and as individual as fingerprints. It is composed of one or more curves, notches, kinks, or angles in the bone itself, but the structure of the tail is camouflaged by the tail hair, which fluffs out to resemble a pom-pom. This is especially dramatic in the semi-longhairs, whose tails resemble a chrysanthemum in full bloom. The bones in the tail are generally fused (although most Bobtails can wiggle their tails at the base, and some have tails that are jointed in one or two places), so it should be handled gently.
The head structure of the Japanese Bobtail is like that of no other breed. The head is in fact an equilateral triangle (not including the ears), but the long, high, chiseled cheekbones accentuate the length of the head. The ears are large, tipped forward slightly as though listening, and set on the corners of the head so that the outer edges of the ears are parallel to each other. The eyes are large, and are set at an Oriental slant which makes the cat unmistakably a Japanese Bobtail-even if you don't glance at the tail. The profile should be a gentle curve, and the chin should be firm and in line with the nose and upper lip. The muzzle should neither be square nor pointed, and there should be a definite break between the muzzle and the cheekbones. Definite whisker pads accentuate the look.
The Japanese Bobtail is classified as a semi-foreign breed, which means that the body should be long, firmly muscular, with a narrow chest, but some depth to the flank (not tubular like the Siamese and Oriental Shorthair). The legs are also long, so that the cat presents a square appearance (unlike the Maine Coon, which has a long body but medium legs presenting a rectangular appearance) when viewed from the side. The legs are refined without appearing delicate, and the hind legs are somewhat longer than the front legs, but deeply angulated at rest (as shown in the illustration; our model is GRP/SGCA,IW Janipurr's Odori-Ni-Hane of Ambar, shown at five months of age), so that the back is carried level. The paws are small, neat, and oval.
The Japanese Bobtail coat should feel soft and silky to the touch, not hard. The shorthair variety should appear flat, not fluffy, although the hairs are actually medium in length. Keep the porcelain statue appearance in mind. The semi-longhairs should have belly shag and definite britches on the hind legs, and something of a ruff as well, at least in the winter. While the semi-longhairs are subject to seasonal shedding, the tail should leave no doubt as to whether you are looking at a shorthair or a longhair, in any season. Both types of coat are actually quite water-resistant, such that the most difficult part of show grooming a Japanese Bobtail is getting them wet during their bath!

Questions 31 to 34 refer to the following text.
Peru is reforming its maritime transportation system. New regulations designed to reduce port costs and increase efficiency have already had encouraging results. Because of these reforms, Peru has established itself as the gateway for exports to Pacific Rim markets. These reforms have been in three areas: labor, regulations, and custom clearances.
High labor costs had sabotaged Peru’s import and export businesses. Where eighty percent of all goods had previously been transported by ship, ports in recent years have been moving only half of their capacity. Shipping companies took their business to Chilean ports where costs averaged one-sixth of those of Peru. Reform in this area was needed quickly. Consequently, agreements with port workers now allow shippers and receivers to make their prices competitive with other ports in Latin America. The port workers benefit as well, since many have formed limited partnerships or cooperatives.
Prior to the reforms, sixty percent of all exports had to be shipped on Peruvian flag-carriers. That regulation has been abolished and has opened the ports to ships from around the world. This increase in traffic has caused dock procedures to be streamlined. Accordingly, customs regulations have become more efficient and commercial processing can be accomplished more quickly.

Questions 35 to 38 refer to the following text.

Recent changes in federal government priorities have seen a reduction in financial support for parents who use childcare. This is occurring at a time when there is increasing tendency that a childcare and working mothers have been the subject of dispute for some time. Many argue that the best place for children is always in their own homes with their own parents. However, it is my contention that there are many advantages to be had from using childcare and the government should provide more financial assistance to parents who do so.
Another argument against the use of childcare facilities is that children can be emotionally deprived in these facilities compared to the home. This argument assumes that the best place for children is to be at their parents, especially mothers, side for twenty-four hours a day. It claims that children’ emotional development can be damaged when they are left in childcare facilities. However, parents and children need to spend some time apart. Moreover, children become less dependent on their parents and parents themselves are less stressed and more effective care-givers when there are periods of separation. In fact, recent studies indicate that the parent-child relationship can be improved by the use of high-quality childcare are facilities.
It has been argued that children who attend childcare centres at an early age miss out on important early learning that occurs in parent-child interaction. These children, so this argument goes, may be actually assist children in their early learning. They give children an opportunity to mix with other children and to develop social skills at an early age. Indeed, a whole range of learning occurs in childcare centres.
It could be further asserted that the government and the economy as a whole cannot afford the enormous cost involved in supporting childcare for working parents. However, working parents actually contribute to the national economy. They are able to utilize their productive skills and pay income tax, while non-working parents can become a drain on the tax system through dependent spouse and other rebates.
In conclusion, government support for childcare services who assist individual families and it is important for the economic well-being of the whole nation.

35. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. Childcare and working mothers.
B. Government policy of childcare.
C. Financial support for parents.

Questions 39 to 42 refer to the following text!

Hot boning is an energy saving technique for the meat processing industry. It has received considerable attention in recent years when increased pressure for energy conservation has accentuated for more efficient methods of processing the bovine carcass. Cooling of an entire carcass requires a considerable amount of refrigerated space, since bone and trimmable fat are cooled along with the muscle. It is also necessary to space the carcasses adequately in the refrigerated room for better air movement and prevention of microbial contamination, thus adding to the volume requirements for carcass chillers.
Conventional handling of meat involves holding the beef sides in the cooler for twenty four to thirty six hours before boning. Chilling in the traditional fashion is also associated with a loss of carcass weight ranging from two percent to four percent due to evaporation of moisture from the meat tissue.
Early excision, or hot boning, of muscle prerigor followed by vacuum packaging has several potential advantages. By removing, only the edible muscle and fat prerigor, refrigeration space and costs are minimized, boning labor is decreased and storage yields increased. Because hot boning often results in toughening of meat, a more recent approach, hot boning following electrical stimulation, has been used to reduce the necessary time of rigor mortis. Some researchers have found this method beneficial in maintaining tender meat, while others have found that the meat also becomes tough after electrical stimulation.

Questions 43 to 46 refer to the following text!
"Can't Bear It" by Todd DeStigter

College is a time for new experiences, and one such experience might be to get a pet that your parents would never allow you to have at home. Although it may seem like a fun and adventuresome choice, one that will impress your peers and professors, it is a bad idea to try to keep a bear as an apartment pet.
One reason it is bad to have a bear as an apartment pet is that bears take up too much space. Bears need a large area in which to roam and forage for berries, and they prefer to sleep without anyone else nearby. Further, bears have been known to become depressed if they live too sedentary a lifestyle, so it is important that they have plenty of room to exercise. This kind of space, however, is rarely available in a college apartment, which is usually crowed with old couches, stereo components, and inflatable plants.
Another reason bears make bad apartment pets is that they are noisy. Unlike their cousin, the sloth, bears make a wide and annoying variety of sounds. They scratch the furniture, kick over garbage cans, stumble into walls, and roar at the top of their lungs in the middle of the night. To be sure, some might argue that this is no different from a typical fraternity member. The difference, however, is that one can complain about a fraternity brother to the cops or the landlord, but there is no such recourse in dealing with loud bears. In fact, making such a complaint might just get your bear taken away from you.
Thus, while college does indeed present young adults with a great many choices, one choice students should make is not to have a bear as an apartment pet. Some day, when a student has a home with a big back yard, a sturdy fence, and several children, the bear might be an excellent option. Until then, a goldfish is a more viable alternative.

43. What does the text mainly discuss?
A. A bear as a helpful pet.
B. A bear as a pleasant pet.
C. A bear as a protective pet.
D. A bear as a dangerous pet.
E. A bear as an apartment pet.

44. What is the idea of the second paragraph?
A. The damage of taking care of a bear in an apartment.
B. The inferior of having a bear as an apartment pet.
C. The danger of a bear living in an apartment.
D. The pleasant bear of living in an apartment.
E. The satisfaction of having a bear as a pet.

45. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the text?
A. Bears do not need a large area for roaming.
B. Bears make a wide and annoying variety of sounds.
C. Bears do not make a noise when living in an apartment.
D. Bears are not depressed to live in a sedentary of a lifestyle.
E. Bears never roar at the top of their lungs in the middle of the night.
