SECTION B

In this section you will find after the reading passage a number of questions or unfinished statements about the passage, each with four suggested answers or ways of finishing. You must choose the one which you think fits best.

By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.

Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.

All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.

The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.

Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.

21. Adders are most likely to be found
    1. in wilder parts of Britain and Ireland in Scotland and nowhere else
    2. on uncultivated land throughout Britain D. in shady fields in England.
22. If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder you should
    1. try to catch the adder make no attempt to treat the bite
    2. not worry about the victim D. operate as soon as possible
23. We are told that adders are
    1. normally friendly towards people unlikely to bite except in self-defense
    2. aggressive towards anyone in their territory D. not afraid of human beings.
24. If an adder hears you approaching, it will usually
    1. move out of your path take no notice of you at all
    2. disappear very quickly D. wait until you are close then attack
25. We are told that in general British people think snakes are
    1. not very common in Britain usually harmless
    2. more dangerous than they usually are D. unlikely to kill people by their bite.

SECTION B

In this section you will find after the reading passage a number of questions or unfinished statements about the passage, each with four suggested answers or ways of finishing. You must choose the one which you think fits best.

Through a series of experiments an American scientist has obtained an understanding of the social structure of the most complex of ants societies. The ants examined are the only creatures other than man to have given up hunting and collecting for a completely agricultural way of life. In their underground nests they cultivate gardens on soil made from finely chopped leaves. This is a complex operation requiring considerable division of labour. The workers of this type of ant can be divided into four groups according to size. Each of the groups performs a particular set of jobs.

The making and care of the gardens and the nursing of the young ants are done by the smallest workers. Slightly larger workers are responsible for chopping up leaves to make them suitable for use in the gardens and for cleaning the nest. A third group of still larger ants do the construction work and collect fresh leaves from outside the nest. The largest are the soldier ants, responsible for defending the nest.

To find out how good the various size-groups are at different tasks, the scientist measured the amount of work done by the ants against the amount of energy they used. He examined first the gathering and carrying of leaves. He selected one of the size-groups, and then measured how efficiently these ants could find leaves and run back to the nest. Then he repeated the experiment for each of the other size-groups. In his way he could see whether any group could do the job more efficiently than the group normally undertaking it.

The intermediate-sized-sized ants that normally perform this task proved to be the most efficient for their energy costs, but when the scientist examined the whole set of jobs performed by each group of ants it appeared that some sizes of worker ants were not ideally suited to the particular jobs they performed.

21. In which way are the ants different from other non-human societies?
    1. They do not need to search for food They do not need to look for shelters
    2. Individuals vary in social status D. Individuals perform different functions.
22. It seems that smaller ants perform more of the
    1. construction tasks. domestic tasks.
    2. defensive work. D. heavy work.
23. “Good” (first line of third paragraph) refers to the ants’
    1. co-operation in working sense of responsibility
    2. efficiency in working D. willingness to work hard
24. The scientist’s work was based on
    1. occasional observations systematic observations
    2. observations of several nests D. observations of an undisturbed nest
25. The organization of the ants has the effect of
    1. getting the most work done dividing the work up systematically
    2. each ant helping with all the tasks D. each ant doing what it can do best.
