GETTING TO THE ROOT OF BONSAI CRIME
 	Bonsai trees have always been a source of great fascination to people. They are perfect miniatures, grown in pots small enough to sit on a windowsill. You have to keep reminding yourself that these trees are actually real and identical to their larger cousins in all (31)_______ except their size.

Paul is quite aware that this kind of data-tagging doesn't (35)_______ thieves from stealing the trees in the first place, although it may increase the chances of getting them back.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
 Movements and gestures by the hands, arms, legs, and other parts' of the body and face are the most pervasive types of nonverbal messages and the most difficult to control. It is estimated that there are over 200.000 physical signs capable of stimulating meaning in another person. For example, there are 23 distinct eyebrow movements, each capable of stimulating a different meaning. 
 Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body movements and postures. Body movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be masked. Because such avenues of communication are visual, they travel much farther than spoken words and are unaffected by the presence of noise that interrupt, or cancels out speech.
 People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit. We tend to be more relaxed with friends or when addressing those of lower status. Body orientation also indicates status or liking of the other individual. More direct orientation is related to a more positive attitude.
 Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly support or reject the spoken word. If these two means of communication are dichotomized and contradict each other, some result will be a disordered image and most often the nonverbal will dominate.

A. stomachs	B. legs	C. hands	D. faces

A. uncommon	B. verbal	C. very few	D. visual

A. has no relation to verbal communication	B. dominates words 
C. is less common than verbal communication 	D. may be interrupted by noise

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 below. 
Until recently, the ‘science of the future’ was supposed to be electronics and artificial intelligence. Today it seems more and more likely that the next breakthrough in technology will be brought about through a combination of those two sciences with organic chemistry and genetic engineering. This science is the combination of biotechnology.
Organic chemistry enables us to produce marvelous synthetic materials. However, it is still difficult to manufacture anything that has the capacity of wool to conserve heat and also to absorb moisture. Nothing that we have been able to produce so far comes anywhere near the combination of strength, lightness, and flexibility that we find in the bodies of ordinary insects. Nevertheless, scientists in the laboratory have already succeeded in 'growing' a material that has many of the characteristics of human skin. The next step may well be 'biotech heart and eyes’ which can replace diseased organs in human beings. These will not be rejected by the body, as in the case with organs from humans.
 	The application of biotechnology to energy production seems even more promising. In 1996, the famous science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, many of whose previous predictions have come true, said that we may soon be able to develop remarkably cheap and renewable sources of energy. Some of these power sources will be biological. Clarke and others have warned us repeatedly that sooner or later we will have to give up our dependence on non-renewable power sources. Coal, oil and gas are indeed convenient. However, using them also means creating dangerously high levels of pollution. It will be impossible to meet the growing demand for energy without increasing that pollution to catastrophic levels unless we develop power sources that are both cheaper and cleaner.
Question 43. According to the text, the science of the future is likely to be?
A. Nuclear technology.	B. Electronics.	C. Genetic engineering. D. Biotechnology
Question 44. The word “These” refers to__________.
A. diseased organs	B. biotech heart and eyes
C. human beings	D. characteristics of human skin
Question 45. What does the text say is one of the worst problems caused by the use of coal, gas, and oil?
A. They are so cheap that people waste them.
B. They are very bad for the world around us.
C. They are no longer as easy to use as they once were.
D. They are too expensive for poorer people in many parts of the world.
Question 46. According to the text, it may soon be possible__________.
A. to make something as good as human skin.
B. to take an organ from one human and give it to another human.
C. to make useful substitutes for human hearts and eyes.
D. to cure certain diseases that damage human organs.
Question 47. In 1996, Arthur C. Clarke predicted__________.
A. that we may not be able to meet future demand for energy
B. that using oil, gas, and coal would lead to very high levels of pollution
C. newer and better ways of using oil, gas, and coal
D. new and better ways of heating and lighting homes, offices, and factories
Question 48. The word “to meet” is synonymous with__________.
A. satisfy	B. encounter	C. turn up	D. appear
Question 49. Which word below can be the best substitute for “breakthrough”?
A. exit	B. development	C. outlet	D. opening
Question 50. Organic chemistry helps to produce materials that are__________.
A. almost as good as wool	C. stronger, lighter, and better than natural materials
B. not as good as natural materials	D. as strong, light, and flexible as an insect’s body
