Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them
helping drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about
dolphins, the more we realize that their society is more complex than people previously
imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and
protect the weakest in the community, as we do. Some scientists have suggested that dolphins
have a language but it is much more probable that they communicate with each other without
needing words. Could any of these mammals be more intelligent than man? Certainly the
most common argument in favor of man’s superiority over them that we can kill them more
easily than they can kill us is the least satisfactory. On the contrary, the more we discover
about these remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior when we destroy them.

A) don’t want to be with us as much as we want to be with them
B) are proven to be less intelligent than once thought

they can kill us ....
A) means that they are better adapted to their environment than we are
B) shows that dolphins have a very sophisticated form of communication
C) proves that dolphins are not the most intelligent species at sea
D) does not mean that we are superior to them
E) proves that Dolphins have linguistic skills far beyond what we previously thought
3. One can infer from the reading that....
A) dolphins are quite abundant in some areas of the world
B) communication is the most fascinating aspect of the dolphins
C) dolphins have skills that no other living creatures have such as the ability to think

This passage is for questions number 8-11
Naval architects never claim that a ship is unsinkable, but the sinking of the
passenger-and-car ferry Estonia in the Baltic surely should have never have happened. It was
well designed and carefully maintained. It carried the proper number of lifeboats. It had been
thoroughly inspected the day of its fatal voyage. Yet hours later, the Estonia rolled over and
sank in a cold, stormy night. It went down so quickly that most of those on board, caught in
their dark, flooding cabins, had no chance to save themselves: Of those who managed to
scramble overboard, only 139 survived. The rest died of hypothermia before the rescuers
could pluck them from the cold sea. The final death toll amounted to 912 souls. However,
there were an unpleasant number of questions about why the Estonia sank and why so many
survivors were men in the prime of life, while most of the dead were women, children and the
elderly.
8. One can understand from the reading that...
A) the lifesaving equipment did not work well and lifeboats could not be lowered
B) design faults and incompetent crew contributed to the sinking of the Estonia ferry
C) 139 people managed to leave the vessel but died in freezing water
D) naval architects claimed that Estonia was unsinkable
E) most victims were trapped inside the boat as they were in their cabins
9. It is clear from the passage that the survivors of the accident...
A) helped one another to overcome the tragedy that had affected them all
B) were mostly young men but women, children and the elderly stood little chance
C) helped save hundreds of lives
D) are still suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder
E) told the investigators nothing about the accident
10. According to the passage, when Estonia sank...
A) there were only 139 passengers on board
B) few of the passengers were asleep
C) there were enough lifeboats for the number of people on board
D) faster reaction by the crew could have increased Estonia’s chances of survival

This passage is for questions number 15-19
When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news.
Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly
anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in
1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing
how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as
bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in
more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals.
Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task.
They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting
materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the
Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of
water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux
caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside. Although
they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago,
many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further
damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.
