No matter how much you love your husband or wife, no matter how high your level of cross cultural awareness, cross cultural communication and respect for differences Misunderstanding seems to be unavoidable Question 33: The passage is about A the effects of cultures on love and marriage C the role of spouses in the family Question 34: The word “It” in paragraph refers to B the definition of culture D cultural differences A culture B family C framework D structure Question 35: According to the writer, cross-cultural marriage A does not have advantages B does not have disadvantages C has both advantages and disadvantages D does not exist through time Question 36: The word “indeed” in paragraph is closest in meaning with A extremely B hopefully C actually D doubtedly Question 37: In cross-cultural marriage, may happen A divorce B quarrel C misunderstanding D separation Text 2: An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled – a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapour might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil On a global basis, nature’s output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city In such a region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm Question 38: What does the passage mainly discuss? A The economic impact of air pollution B What constitutes an air pollutant C How much harm air pollutants can cause D The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere Question 39: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that A water vapour is an air pollutant in localized areas B most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled C the definition of air pollution will continue to change D a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities Question 40: The word “These” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to A the various chemical reactions B the pollutants from the developing Earth C the compounds moved to the water or soil D the components in biogeochemical cycles Question 41: For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in controlling air pollution? A They function as part of a purification process B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants C They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants D They have existed since the Earth developed Question 42: According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions A can be dwarfed by nature’s output of pollutants B can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants C will damage areas outside of the localized regions D will react harmfully with natural pollutants Question 43: The word “localized” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to A specified B circled C surrounded D encircled Question 44: According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only useful if A the other substances in the area are known B it is in a localized area C the natural level is also known D it can be calculated quickly Question 45: Which of the following is best supported by the passage?
