Butterflies are among the most extensively studied insects – an estimated 90 percent of the world's species have scientific names. As a consequence, they are perhaps the best group of insects for examining patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution. Butterflies also have a favorable image with the general public. Hence, they are an excellent group for communicating information on science and conservation issues such as diversity.

Perhaps the aspect of butterfly diversity that has received the most attention over the past century is the striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.

For example, in 1875, one biologist pointed out the diversity of butterflies in the Amazon when he mentioned that about 700 species were found within an hour's walk, whereas the total number found on the British islands did not exceed 66, and the whole of Europe supported only 321. This early comparison of tropical and temperate butterfly richness has been well confirmed.
A general theory of diversity would have to predict not only this difference between temperate and tropical zones, but also patterns within each region, and how these patterns vary among different animal and plant groups. However, for butterflies, variation of species richness within temperate and tropical regions is poorly understood. Indeed, comparisons of numbers of species among the Amazon basin, tropical Asia, and Africa are still mostly "personal communication" citations, even for vertebrates. In other words, unlike comparison temperate and tropical areas, these patterns are still in the documentation phase.
In documenting geographical variation in butterfly diversity, some arbitrary, practical decisions are made. Diversity, number of species, and species richness are used synonymously; little is known about the evenness of butterfly distribution. The New World butterflies make up the preponderance of examples because they are the most familiar species. It is hoped that by focusing on them, the errors generated by imperfect and incomplete taxonomy will be minimized.

Question 35. The word "consequence" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to.

A. result                    B. explanation               C. analysis              D. requirement

Question 36. The word "striking" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to.

A. physical               B. confusing                  C. noticeable           D. successful

Question 37. Butterflies are a good example for communicating information about conservation issues because they.

A. are simple in structure                              B. have been given scientific names
C. are viewed positively by people               D. are found mainly in temperate climates.

Question 38. The word "exceed" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to.

A. locate                  B. allow                        C. go beyond             D. come close to

Question 39. What is the most distinguishing feature of butterfly diversity in the past century?

A. Numerous patterns of terrestrial biotic diversity and distribution.
B. Comparisons of behavior patterns of butterflies and certain animal groups.
C. The striking difference in species richness between tropical and temperate regions.
D. The documentation phase of the process.

Question 40. Which of the following is NOT well understood by biologists?

A. European butterfly habitats.
B. Differences in species richness between temperate and tropical regions.
C. Differences in species richness within a temperate or a tropical region.
D. Comparisons of behavior patterns of butterflies and certain animal groups.

Question 41. All of the following are mentioned as being important parts of a general theory of diversity EXCEPT.

A. differences between temperate and tropical zones.
B. patterns of distribution of species in each region.
C. migration among temperate and tropical zones.
D. variation of patterns of distribution of species among different animal and plants.

A. butterfly behavior varies with climate
B. a general theory of butterfly diversity has not yet been firmly established

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 from 45 to 54

For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming back to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called "latchkey children". They are children who look after themselves while their parents work.

Lynette Long was once the principal of an elementary school. She said, "we had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly telling them to put the keys inside shirts. There were so many keys; it never came to my mind what they meant." Slowly, she learned that they were house keys.

She and her husband began talking to the children who had keys. They learned of the effect working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear wasthe biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being frightened. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.

The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. They may hide in a shower stall, under a bed or in a closet. The second is TV. They often turn the volume up.
