Although they are important, these visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the tip of the iceberg or culture. Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside awareness. Thus, neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain "invisible" aspects of their culture exist.           Invisible elements of culture are important to us. For example, how long we can be late before being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention through listening behavior, what we consider beautiful or ugly. These are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without being aware of it. When we meet other people whose invisible cultural assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behavior as cultural in origin.            Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations. Conflicts may arise when we are unable to recognize others’ behavioral differences as cultural rather than personal. We tend to misinterpret other people's behavior, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences.            Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences. If the differences were more visible, we might have less misunderstanding. For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours. Yet when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us. As a result, mutual misunderstanding may arise. Question 11. What is the main purpose of the passage?        A. To explain the importance of invisible aspects of culture        B.

Tree squirrels are active, noisy(A), and lively(B) animals that(C) make its(D) home in trunks  Read the following passage mark letter A, B, C, or D on your sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of  the questions          Coincident with concerns about the accelerating loss of species and habitats has been a growing appreciation of the importance of  biological diversity, the number of species in a particular ecosystem, to the health of the Earth and human well-being. Much has been written about the diversity of terrestrial organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich life associated tropical rain-forest habitats. Relatively little has been said, however, about diversity of life in the sea even though coral reef systems are comparable to rain forests in terms of richness of life.          An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet's dominants - most distinctive feature - the ocean. Humans have a bias toward land that sometimes get in the way of truly examining global issues. Seen from far away, it is easy to realize landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth’s surface. Given that two thirds of the Earth's surface is water and that marine life lives at all levels of the ocean, the total three-dimensional living space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and contains more than 90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct species.          The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world's rain forests doesn't seem surprising, considering the huge numbers of insects that comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist found many different species of ants in just one tree from a rain forest. While every species is different from every other species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be insects and to share similar characteristics with 750,000 species of insects. If basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasis than differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is unquestionably by sea. Nearly every major type of plant and animal has some presentation there.   To appreciate fully the diversity and abundance of life in the sea, it helps to think small. Every spoonful of ocean water life, on the order of 100 to 100,000 bacteria cells plus assorted microscopic plants and animals, including larvae of organisms ranging from sponges and corals to starfish and clams and much more. Question 53. What is the main point of the passage? A. Humans are destroying thousands of  speciesB. There are thousands of insects species C. The sea is even richer in life than the rain forests D. Coral reefs are similar to rain forests Question 54. The word "appreciation" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to______ A. ignorance             B. recognition               C. tolerance                 D. forgiveness Question 55. Why does the author compare rain forests and coral reefs in paragraph 1?A. They are approximately the same size B. They share many similar species C. Most of  their habitats require waterD. Both have many different forms of life Question 56. The "bias" in 2 is closet in meaning to________A.concern               B. disadvantage                 C. attitude                  D. prejudiceQuestion 57. Which of the following is true about the ocean to the passage? A. It's 100 limes greater than land B. It contains more species than land C. It contains a vast majority of life on Earth D. It occupies one-third of the Earth' surface Question 58. The passage suggests that most rain forests species are_______ A.insects                  B. bacteria                         C. mammals               D. birds Question 59. The word "there" in paragraph 3 refers to _______A.the sea                  B. the rain forests              C. a tree         D. the Earth’s surfaceQuestion 60. The author argues that there is more diversity of life than in the rain forests because A. more phyla and classes of  life are presented in the sea B. there are too many insects to make meaningful distinctionsC. many insect species too small to divide into categories D. marine life-form reproduce at a faster rate Question 61. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an example of microscopic sea life? A. Sponges                  B. Coral                            C. Starfish                 D. Shrimp Question 62. Which of the following conclusions is supported by the passage? A.Ocean life is highly adaptive B. More attention needs to be paid to preserving ocean species and habitats C. Ocean life is primarily composed of plants D. The sea is highly resistant to the damage done by pollutants  Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word or phrase that is OPPOSITE in meaning to the underlined part in each of the following questions. Question 63. Their migration may be postponed if fog, clouds or rain hides the star. A.cancelled                B. continued                      C. spoiled                   D. damaged Question 64. Even when textbooks are standardized throughout a school system, methods of teaching with may be greatly varied.A. different                B. made the same               C. expensive              D. lacking   WRITING  Part l. Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed before it.
