Question 1 to 4 refer to the following text.

It is common knowledge that as women get older, pregnancy becomes a riskier enterprise.
Advanced maternal ages is linked to a number of developmental disorders in children, such as Down's
syndrome. Now, a study has confirmed that older mothers are more likely to give birth to a child with
autism, too. The authors of the epidemiological study, published February 8 in Autism Research,
examined the parental age of more than 12.000 children with autism and nearly five million "control"
children between 1990 and 1999, all living in California. The researchers found that mother over 40 had
a 51 percent higher risk of having a child with autism than mother 25 to 29, and a 77 percent higher risk
than mothers under 25.

Autism, a developmental disorder characterized by impaired social interaction and

communication, appears to be on the rise. The U.S. centers for Disease Control and Prevention now
estimates that as many as one in 110 children in the U.S. has an autistic spectrum disorder, a group of
developmental disorders including autism, Aspergers syndrome and pervasive developmental disorder.
The prevalence of autistic spectrum disorders in California in 2007 was 12 times that from 1987,
representing in average annual growth of 13 percent, according to a report from the California
Department of Developmental Services. Only a fraction of these extra cases can be explained by
changes to diagnostic criteria and earlier diagnoses.

Maternal age is also increasing in the U.S.A. California-based study reported a three-fold increase
in the number of births to woman ages 40 to 44 between 1982 and 2004. But this trend toward delayed
childbearing accounted for less than 5 percent of the total increase in autism diagnose in California over
the decade. According to the study-a finding that surprised Janie Shelton, a doctoral student in
University of California Davis's Department of Public Health Sciences and the study's lead author. "l
would have expected to see more of a contribution, because age is a risk factor and woman are having
kids later," she says. Earlier work had suggested that both maternal and paternal ages are independently
associated with autism risk. But the current study found that paternal ages is only a risk factor when the
mother is under 30.

Question 5 to 8 refer to the following text.

If droughts, floods and wildfires are the criminal, climate change is the accomplice. This is how
the population must begin regarding global warming, experts said at a session at the annual American
Academy for the Advancement of Science meeting here. Although extreme weather events, from the
creeping drought that scorched last year corn crop to Super storm Sandy, are worrisome, automatically
and simplistically tying them to the scientific phenomenon of climate change could be misleading.

Last years drought in Texas, for example, could not be specifically tied to Climate change, said
John Nielsen-Gammon, the Lone star State's climatologist. Over the past century there has been an
increase in rainfall -not a tendency toward dryness -over most of Texas by about 10 percent. "Changing
climate has not contributed to the lack of rainfall over the long term, as of yet," he said. Last year's
drought much like the famed Dust Bowl drought of the 1930s and another significant drought in the
1950s, is tied to rising sea surface temperatures in of the Pacific Ocean-the weather event known as la
Nina. "Until we see a long-term decrease in rainfall in Texas, it will be hard to say that climate change
has caused a decrease," Nielsen-Gammon said.

Temperatures have rains in Texas, meaning the increased rainfall is being evaporated at a more
rapid rate, he added. But for the drought, which continues to seize more than half of the lower 48 states,
heat was a drought accelerant but not the main cause.

5. The following is relevants with the idea of

climate changes described in the passage, 7. The points discussed in paragraph 3 provide

Question 9 to 12 refer to the following text.

This finding implies that the high level of consumption of added sugars among teenagers may

result in lower levels of high density lipoprotein levels (HDL), the good cholesterol, and higher levels of

triglycerides and low density lipoproteins (LDL), the bad cholesterol. “This is first study about the
association of added sugars and the indicators of heart disease risk in adolescent,” said Jean Welsh,
study author and post-doctoral fellow at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. “The higher consumers of
added sugar have more unfavorable cholesterol levels. The concern is long-term exposure would place
them at risk for heart disease later in adulthood.”

Teenagers with the highest levels of added sugar consumption at more than 30 percent of total
energy had 49.5 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) compared to 54 mg/dL of HDL levels in those with the
lowest levels of added sugar consumption – a 9 percent difference. Previous studies indicate that the
largest contributors of added sugars to the diet are sugary beverages such as sodas, fruit drinks, and teas.

Welsh said.

The study included dietary recall from one 24-hour period that researchers merged with sugar
content data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Researchers estimated cardiovascular risks by
added sugar consumption of less than 10 percent up to more than 30 percent of daily total energy. Two
days of dietary data were used among a subsample of 646 adolescents.

The findings remained consistent. Those with higher intake of added sugar had higher LDL levels of
94.3 mg/dL compared to 86.7 in those with the lowest levels, a 9 percent difference. Triglyceride levels
in those with the highest consumption were 79 mg/dL compared to 71.7 mg/dL among the lowest, a 9
percent difference. Overweight or obese adolescents with the highest level of added sugar consumption
had increased sign of insulin resistance. The researchers used cross-sectional data so they cannot know
if added sugar intake caused the differing cholesterol levels, only that they are linked. They also
assessed the diet using one 24-hour recall of intake, which may not reflect on a person’s usual intake.

9. What topic does the paragraph preceding (C) Concerned.

(A) Disapproving. (D) The better the total energy they have
(B) Uninterested. (E) The less sweet beverages they drink
12. What is the best summary of the passage?

(A) High level of added sugars may lead to low level of good cholesterol, high level of bad cholesterol
and triglyceride as well as insulin tolerance, especially in obese teenagers. Based on a 24 dietary recall,
this study cannot determine the causal relation.

(B) Experts have found that there is a link between that the level added sugar people consume and their
level of cholesterol. This can be harmful in the long term as it might lead to heart diseases. Moreover,
obese or overweight children with highest level of added sugar show signs of insulin resistance.

(C) A study was conducted to find out the correlation between added sugar and cholesterol level. High
level of sugar consumption leads to high level of bad cholesterol and triglyceride. Therefore, people
should consume this kind of drink too frequently.

(D) A 24-dieatary recall was used to assess the effects of added sugars. However, there are still two
limitations. First, it cannot determine the connection between added sugars and different
level of cholesterol. Second, the recall may not represent the usual daily intake.

(E) High level of added sugars may lead to a high level of triglyceride. Furthermore, among teenagers
with overweight obesity cases, there can be insulin resistance. The largest sources of added sugars are
sugary beverages. It is important not to have sugary beverages too much.

Question 13 to 15 refer to the following text.

Mental illness involves specific types of mood disorders that Cause cognitive distortions. When
people suffering from one of these illness perceive reality incorrectly, they will likely find themselves
suffering from sadness, anxiety, hallucinations, or psychosis. With Clinical depression itself, people
may
have both good moods and bad moods from time to time. The bad moods, however, will likely
predominate.

When people are excessively pessimistic and feel like they are experiencing a mild-life crisis, they
might very well be suffering from a major depression disorder. Misery and lack of hope may come to
the
forefront, and people might feel that they cannot go. They will need a consultation with a licensed
therapist. In some cases, they might be started on anti-depressant medications. The goal is to correct
cognitive distortions so that the patients can regain their passion for life. The worst cases may take many

months to overcome. Strong support from loved ones is essential.

Beyond unpolar depression, which might stem from thyroid swings or a hormonal imbalance, the
other major type of depression is bipolar disorder. Sings of bipolar disorder might differ from person to
person and can thus be hard for professionals to tease out. Swinging from despair to euphoria will
indicate
presence of bipolar manic depression. In some cases, patients might believe that they have superhuman
power or traits. People who are bipolar might also spend money without regard to the future. They could
also engage in risky behaviors.

13. The paragraph following the passage will likely talk about ...
(A) follow-up actions for anyone experiencing bipolar psychosis.
(B) an example of how a serious mental disorder begins to.
(C) the necessary of first clinical treatments in the event of depression.
(D) effective curative measures for all kinds of mental disorders.
(E) descriptions of unipolar and bipolar types of depression.

14. Based on the passage above, it can be inferred that...

(A) people tend to have changing moods over time clinically.
(B) depressions are closely associated with one’s cognition state.
(C) people who get angry easily may suffer from mental disorders.
(D) the first aid for those with mental illnesses is having a psychiatrist.
(E) there is no best theraphy for mentally disorder people.

15. Another way of saying "The bad moods, however, will likely predominate” (paragraph 1) is that …
(A) Even so more and more people suffer from bad feelings.
(B) Nonetheless depressions happen to anyone often.
(C) Yet one’s happiness in life to be hard to achieve.
(D) There is a general tendency of feeling.
(E) Nevertheless people tend to feel gloomier at a time.
