Text 3

In total, the plant has need of at least 16 elements, of which the most important are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

The plan obtains carbon and hydrogen dioxide from the atmosphere; other nutrients are taken up from the soil. Although the plant contains sodium, iodine, and cobalt, these are apparently not essential. This is also true of silicon and aluminum.

Overall chemical analyses indicate that the total supply of nutrients in soils is usually high in comparison with the requirements of crop plants. Much

of this potential supply, however, is bound tightly in forms that are not released to crops fast enough to give

satisfactory growth. Because of this, the farmer is interested in measuring the available nutrient supply as contrasted to the total quantities.

20. Which of the following elements is not taken up from the soil?

A. Potassium

B. Magnesium

C. Carbon

D. Calcium

E. Sulfur

21. Why do farmers prefer considering the only available nutrients to the total quantities of nutrient found in the

soil? Because …………....

     nutrients

     soil constrains all the nutrients 

     needed

     compounds

    atmosphere

Polar bear are adapted to life in the polar region, around the North Pole. Their bodies have special features that work particularly well in the polar seas.

For instance, they have sharp and powerful claws for catching their food, which is mainly seals. In their own

environment, they are excellent hunter; but if they had to live on the birds and squirrels in other places, they would die.

The science that studies the way that different forms of life are adapted to their particular environment is called ecology.

The first lesson of ecology is that all life in an environment depends on other forms of life. Polar bears depend on seals, which can live only where they

do because they depend on particular kinds of fish which are found in the Arctic seas.

There are certain important cycles in nature that show plants and animals depend on each other: for example, the nitrogen cycles. Plants take nitrogen

compounds from the soil and turn them into protein.

Animals eat these proteins and return some of them to the soil as waste products and the rest when they die.

Another cycle is the oxygen cycle. When we breathe, we take in oxygen, and give out carbon dioxide. Plants absorb it to make sugar compounds, and in the process oxygen is produced and released to the atmosphere.

An ideal ecological system, living things exist in balance. However, particularly where man interferes, a species may become too successful and abundant, and the balance is destroyed. For instance, the use of pesticides to kill a particular plan pest may also kill

predatory insects and even birds, and thus other pests are allowed to increase. Therefore, great care is needed

in the use of pesticides.

Through ecology we try to restore the balance in the ecological system, and thus save the world from devastation.

25. The habitat of polar bear is in ...

A. the tropical countries

B. the North pole

C. the South pole

D. the Arctic seas

E. Europe

26. What does the text mainly discuss?

A. ecology

A. seals eat a lot of fish

B. the farmers use pesticides

C. polar bears don't eat seals anymore

D. man interferes his environment too 

     much

E. plants take nitrogen compound from 

     the soil

28. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that …………...

A. Polar bears depend on seals

B. Ecological system needs well treatment

C. Plants and animals depend one each other

D. Plants produce and release oxygen to the atmosphere

E. There's an interdependence of living things in a particular area.

29. "... the world from devastation." ("paragraph 6)

Text 5

During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in a large number of reform movement, including movements to

reorganize the prison system, improve education, ban the sale of alcohol, and most, importantly, to free the slaves. Some women saw similarities in the social status of women and slaves. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone were feminists and

abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and blacks. A number of male abolitionists, including

William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Philips, also supported the rights of women to speak and participate

equally with men in antislavery activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism offered

women previously denied entry into politics. They became involved primarily in order to better their

living conditions and the conditions of others.

When the Civil War ended in 1865, the

Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution adopted, in 1868 and 1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women.

Discouraged but resolved, feminists influenced more and more women to demand the right to vote. In 1869 Wyoming Territory had yielded to demands by feminists, but eastern states resisted more stubbornly than before. A women's suffrage bill had been

presented to every Congress since 1878 but it continually failed to pass until 1920, when the Nineteenth Amendment granted women the right to vote.

A. The process of giving right to vote to

A. Abolitionists

     Amendment

We can learn a lot about a country from the Personal ads. These ads tell us about people and their problems. One example of this is from Spain. In a small town in Spain there were forty two men.
