Music can bring us to tears or to our feet, drive us into battle or lull us to sleep. Music is indeed remarkable in its power over all humankind, and perhaps for that very reason, no human culture on earth has ever lived without it. From discoveries made in France and Slovenia, even Neanderthal man, as long as 53,000 years ago, had developed surprisingly sophisticated, sweet-sounding flutes carved from animal bones. It is perhaps then, no accident that music should strike such a chord with the limbic system – an ancient part of our brain, evolutionarily speaking, and one that we share with much of the animal kingdom. Some researchers even propose that music came into this world long before the human race ever did. For example, the fact that whale and human music have so much in common even though our evolutionary paths have not intersected for nearly 60 million years suggests that music may predate humans. They assert that rather than being the inventors of music, we are latecomers to the musical scene. Humpback whale composers employ many of the same tricks that human songwriters do. In addition to using similar rhythms, humpbacks keep musical phrases to a few seconds, creating themes out of several phrases before singing the next one. Whale songs in general are no longer than symphony movements, perhaps because they have a similar attention span. Even though they can sing over a range of seven octaves, the whales typically sing in key, spreading adjacent notes no farther apart than a scale. They mix percussive and pure tones in pretty much the same ratios as human composers – and follow their ABA form, in which a theme is presented, elaborated on and then revisited in a slightly modified form. Perhaps most amazing, humpback whale songs include repeating refrains that rhyme. It has been suggested that whales might use rhymes for exactly the same reasons that we do: as devices to help them remember. Whale songs can also be rather catchy. When a few humpbacks from the Indian Ocean strayed into the Pacific, some of the whales they met there quickly changed their tunes – singing the new whales’ songs within three short years. Some scientists are even tempted to speculate that a universal music awaits discovery. Question 34: Why did the author write the passage? A. To describe the music for some animals, including humans B. To show that music is not a human or even modern invention C. To suggest that music is independent of life forms that use it D. To illustrate the importance of music to whales Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following is true of humpback whales? A. whale songs of a particular group cannot be learned by other whales. B. they do not use rhyme, unlike humans. C. their tunes are distinctively different from human tunes. D. they can sing over a range of seven octaves. Question 36: The underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to ______. A. whales B. whole songs C. human composers D. octaves Question 37: Which of the following is NOT true about humpback whale music? A. It’s in a form of creating a theme, elaborating and revisiting in rhyming refrains. B. It uses similar patterns to human songs. C. It’s easy to learn by other whales. D. It’s comparative in length to symphony movements. Question 38: The underlined word “refrains” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______. A. tunes B. notes C. words D. sounds Question 39: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Humpback whales imitate the way human composers work in creating their own music. B. The research of musical brain always leads to a discovery of a universal music. C. The earliest human beings came from France and Slovenia. D. Music may have an influence on the whale brain.

A. symphony movements B. attention span C. the limbic system D. the animal kingdom 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 42 to 46. Under certain circumstances, the human body must cope with gases at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure. For example, gas pressures increase rapidly during a drive made with scuba gear because the breathing equipment allows divers to stay underwater longer and dive deeper. The pressure exerted on the human body increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters of depth in seawater, so that at 39 meters in seawater a diver is exposed to pressure of about 4 atmospheres. The pressure of the gases being breathed must equal the external pressure applied to the body, otherwise breathing is very difficult. Therefore all of the gases in the air breathed by a scuba diver at 40 meter are present at five times their usual pressure. Nitrogen, which composes 80 percent of the air we breathe, usually causes a balmy feeling of well-being at this pressure. At a depth of 5 atmospheres, nitrogen causes symptoms resembling alcohol intoxication, known as nitrogen narcosis. Nitrogen narcosis apparently results from a direct effect on the brain of the large amounts of nitrogen dissolved in the blood. Deep dives are less dangerous if helium is substituted for nitrogen, because under these pressures helium does not exert a similar narcotic effect. As a scuba diver descends, the pressure of nitrogen on the lungs increases. Nitrogen then diffuses from the lungs to the blood, and from the blood to body tissues. The reverse occurs when the diver surfaces, the nitrogen pressure in the lungs falls and the nitrogen diffuses from the tissues into the blood, and from the blood into the lungs. If the return to the surface is too rapid, nitrogen in the tissues and blood cannot diffuse out rapidly enough and nitrogen bubbles are formed. They can cause severe pains, particularly around the joints. Another complication may result if the breath is held during ascent. During ascent from a depth of 10 meters, the volume of air in the lungs will double because the air pressure at the surface is only half of what it was at 10 meters. This change in volume may cause the lungs to distend and even rupture. This condition is called air embolism. To avoid this event, a diver must ascend slowly, never at a rate exceeding the rise of the exhaled air bubbles, and must exhale during ascent. Question 42: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The symptoms of nitrogen bubbles in the bloodstream B. How to prepare for a deep dive C. The effect of pressure on gases in the human body. D. The equipment divers use Question 43: The word “exert” in bold in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________. A. change B. cause C. need D. permit Question 44: The word “they” in bold in paragraph 2 refers to ________. A. pains B. bubbles C. tissues D. joints Question 45: What happens to nitrogen in body tissues if a diver ascends too quickly? A. It goes directly to the brain B. It has a narcotic effect C. It is reabsorbed by the lungs D. It forms bubbles Question 46: What should a diver do when ascending? A. Rise slowly B. Relax completely C. Breathe faster D. Breathe helium Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the other three in the position of primary stress in each of the following questions from 47 to 48.
