Items 46 – 50
14. Human ability to alter the surface of the earth is
rivaled among biological organisms only by colonies of
tiny coral polyps, which over eons of geologic time
form massive reefs of limestone. True reef corals are
limited in geographical distribution to the clear warm
sunlit waters of the tropical regions of the oceans ;
they are found in the great reef tracts of the Indo -
Pacific and western Atlantic.
Reefs, of which there are three major types,
become important additions to the land in tropical
areas, forming entire chains of islands and altering the
shorelines of continents. Fringing reefs grow in shallow
water and border a coast closely. Barrier reefs also
parallel a coast but are farther away from it, are larger,
and are continuous for greater distances. Atolls are
rings of coral islands enclosing a central lagoon, and
hundreds of them dot the South Pacific. Consisting of
reefs several thousand Meyers across, many atolls are
formed on ancient volcanic cones that have subsided,
with the rate of growth of the coral matching the rate
of the cone’s sinking.
This explanation of atolls was proposed by Darwin
during the voyage of the Beagle and was confirmed in
the 1950s by the United States Geological Survey when
its extensive drilling programs on Pacific atolls hit
volcanic rock hundreds of meters down.

48. Reefs are significant in that they can ___________
1. change the shapes of land masses
2. enclose lagoons
3. provide extremely fertile soil
4. affect entire food chains
49. The rate of growth of atolls is often determined by
___________.
1. their nearness to the coast
2. the temperature of the lagoon water
3. the movement of their volcanic bases
4. the frequency of storms in the area
50. United States Geological Survey research on reefs
found that ___________.
1. the largest barrier reed is a thousand meters
long
2. there are one hundred lagoons in the South
Pacific
3. atolls are made of volcanic rock
4. Darwin’s theory of atolls was correct
Items 51 – 55
16. In some faraway Turkish village of Kuskoy,
whistling is as important as talking. In fact, whistling is
talking because the villagers speak and sing by
whistling. Kuskoy parents begin to teach their boys and
girls the language of whistling about the time the
children learn to talk. It is considered so important that
the village school includes it as one of the subjects
taught along with the Turkish language.
This art of communication has taken centuries to
develop. The village of Kuskoy spreads out across two
hillsides that are separated by a deep valley. The
villagers had to find an easy way to communicate
where their voices couldn’t carry. They developed a
high - pitched whistle language that could be
transmitted as far as five miles through air. As a result,
Kuskoy, which means “bird village” in Turkish, has
come to be known as a whistler’s paradise.
Whistling is so much part of everyday life in
Kuskoy that men and women speak, argue, and court
in whistles. The story was recently told of a young
couple who eloped. The news was sent over the
“mountain telephone” by whistling. The lover’s
adventure was quickly known to all the villagers.
It is little wonder, then, that the children of
Kuskoy study whistling in school. Wouldn’t it be fun to
start the school day with a song - whistled of course!
51. In the story, Kuskoy is the name of
_____________.
1. a man 2. a country
3. a town 4. a village
17. 52. The children of Kuskoy learn to whistle because
__________.
1. it is fun
2. it is an important way to communicate
3. it helps them learn to sing
4. it is like the Turkish language
53. In Kuskou, whistling as a way of talking started
________.
1. recently 2. hundreds of years
ago
3. fifty years ago 4. ten years ago
54. The high - pitched whistle can heard at a distance
of _________
1. 10 km 2. 5 km
3. 15 km 4. 8 km
55. Which of the following do you think is the best title
for this story?
1. To Learn Whistle Is Very Important.
2. Whistling Is Fun.
3. Whistling - The Mountain Telephone.
4. The Strange Turkish Language.
