Passage 1:

A device has been developed that enables babies born blind to see the world through echoes from an ultrasonic scanner. Dr. Tom Bower, of Edinburgh University psychology department, told the British Association annual conference that he gave the device to a 16-week-old boy in the U.S. and the child responded to it within half a minute of putting it all.
\indent The battery-operated scanner sends out a pulse of ultra-sound through a cone attached to the forehead. Through earplugs the baby is able to hear echoes in stereo which tell him what lies in front. By moving his head, he will detect sounds from different parts of the room.
\indent The closer the object is, the lower the pitch of the sound. The bigger it is, the louder the sound. The child can also establish whether the object is hard or soft: a hard object will give a clear sound, and a soft one will give a fuzzy sound with overtones. Normal voice commands can be heard by the baby while he is wearing the device.
\indent Bower first tried it out on a blind baby from the Berkeley children's hospital in California. The baby, Denis Daughters, seemed delighted and played hide-and-seek with his mother after a few days. He enjoyed finding her in a room. At the age of nine months, he had reached the development stage of a normal sighted baby. He was able to perform tests such as balancing an object on two prongs or on a table edge. This may sound unimportant, but few sighted children can perform such a task before this age.

93- What is the best title for the passage? \indent 1) The World of the Newly Born 2) Seeing With Ears \indent 3) Scanners: A New Version 4) Scientists Help Doctors
%% Page 17

94- The word ``it'' in paragraph 1 refers to ----------------. 1) device 2) echo 3) conference 4) department

95- What does paragraph 2 mainly discuss? 1) The quality of the sounds received by blind children 2) Who the new invention is good for 3) Ways to use the new device 4) How the new device works

96- Why does the author mention Denis Daughters in the last paragraph? 1) To show how to stop blindness in childhood 2) To indicate the importance of playing games for the development of children 3) To cite an example in support of the fact that the new device is practical 4) To prove that more tests are to be performed before the new device can work efficiently
Passage 2:
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System, after Mercury. It is often referred to as the ``Red Planet'' because the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features that look like the craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth.
The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Mars are likewise similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. Mars is the site of Olympus Mons, the largest volcano and second-highest known mountain in the Solar System, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest valleys in the Solar System. The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 40\% of the planet and may be a giant impact feature. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are small and irregularly shaped. These may be captured asteroids, similar to 5261 Eureka, a Mars trojan.

97- Which of the following questions is the one the passage is primarily written to answer? 1) How was Mar formed? 2) What life forms can Mars support? 3) What does the Planet Mars look like? 4) How big is Mars compared to other planets in the solar system?

98- The passage suggests that Olympus Mons ----------------. 1) is the only volcano that we can find on Mars 2) plays a part in the creation of Marian seasons 3) is the second highest mountain in the universe 4) comes second in height in the whole solar system

99- The word ``one'' in paragraph 2 refers to ----------------. 1) Valles Marineris 2) Olympus Mons 3) mountain 4) volcano

100- The passage provides enough information to answer which of the following questions? 1) Why is the atmosphere of Mars thin? 2) Where has the iron oxide on Mars come from? 3) Why are the two moons of Mars irregularly shaped? 4) How many planets are closer to the Sun than Mars is?

110. The limit of the expression $[\tan^2 x] + [\cos 3x + [\sin(x - \dfrac{\pi}{2})]]$ as $x \to \dfrac{\pi}{2}$, which value is correct? (The symbol $[\ ]$ denotes the floor function.)
