READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage carefully and select the one correct answer from the four choices (A, B, C, or
D)!
Reading 1 for question 161-167

The term benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) just simply means an enlarge prostate. It
is generally believed to affect most men over the age of 45 (with various levels of severity).
Overall, the number of men with BPH increases progressively with age. By age 60, 50 percent of
men will have some signs of BPH. By age 85, 90 percent of men will have
signs of the condition. About one-third of these men will develope symptoms that require
treatment. Prostate enlargement, or BPH, is not a malignant condition,but it does put pressure
on the urethra and can cause a number of urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary
urgency, the need to get up at night to urinate, difficulty starting urination, a reduction in the
force of the urine stream, terminal dribbling, incomplete emptying of the bladder, and even the
inabiity to urinate at all. The prostate, a small gland that produces fluid for semen, is in an ideal
position to cause trouble. The gland wraps snugly around the urethra, the tube that carries urine
from the bladder. It’s a tight squeeze-and it only gets tighter as men grow older. As symptoms
progress, a man may also be at higher risk of bladder stones and bladder infection. The kidneys
may be damaged from back pressure caused by the retention of large amounts of urine in the
bladder. There may be sudden blockage of the urinary tube, making urination impossible, and
not infrequently, blood may be detected in the urine. The exact mechanism for the enlargement
of the prostate gland remains unclear; however, there are certain factors that are obviously
involved. As men age, the male sex hormone dihydrotestosterone(DHT) starts to build up in the
prostate, which causes the prostate to slowly enlarge.
The Vahlensieck, AUSI and I-PSS rating systems are used to evaluate the severity of
symptoms associated with BPH. All these methods are based on a limited number of questions
associated with a numbered score: the total score is an evaluative index of BPH-associated
severity, which can be from “mild” to “moderate” or “severe”. Severe symptoms that are
associated with a very large prostate may require surgery.

Reading 2 for questions 168-174
Narwhal, robust-bodied, toothed whale, occuring only in deep waters of the high arctic,
almost always close to floating ice. It is closely related to the beluga whale. Narwhals are mottled
black and white, with more dark mottling on the back than on the belly. Females grow to 4.2
m(14ft) in length, and males to 4.7m(15ft). Narwhals have only two teeth, both in the upper jaw.
The left tooth of the adult male continues to grow, spiraling forward from the head, until the tusk
is up to 3m(up to 10ft) long. Including this tusk, the overall body length of an older male may be
nearly 8m(nearly 26ft).
Narwhals often occur in small pods of 2 to about 12 animals, which are parts of larger
herds. They migrate seasonally as the ice edge moves, and they can be found in remarkably thick
ice. Fish, squid, and shrimp make up their diet. The members
of a herd may segregate themselves according to age and sex, especially during migration. In
such cases, subadult male or adult male groups can be easily distinguished by the size of their
tusk.
The social systems of narwhals is not known, although researches believe that males
may display or fight one another for access to females. Males have been observed to use their
tusks for sparring with other males at or above the surface of the water, and males may
occasionally be seen with their tusks partially broken off or with tusks embedded in their bodies.
Actual spearing of one male by another, however, is probably less common. A mature female
may give birth once every three years. Gestation lasts about 15months, and a single calf is born
in the summer.
Narwhals are hunted by Inuits and some northen Europeans for their skin, meat,
blubber, and especially for their tusks. The tusk is used as an ornament, both whole and carved,
and is sometimes ground into a powder for reputed medicinal purposes. Although the existence
of the species does not appear to be threatened, local overhunting of individual narwhals and
their food supply may be limitting populations.

168. The word their in line 13 refers to ... D. its unusual shape
A. female narwhals C. subadult
narwhals 172. How can the male narwhal be
B. male narwhals D. narwhals distinguished from the female narwhal?

 Police in New Jersey believe they have solved one of the longest running murder cases in
the state’s history: the disappearance of five Newark teenagers in 1978. After tracking leads for
32 years, two men were arrested March 22 and charged with harding the teens at gunpoint into
an abandoned row house, tying them up and torching the building, setting a blaze so fierce police
say the bodies were incinerated, destroying any evidence. Now prosecutors have a difficult task:
prove the teens were murdered when their bodies were never found.
Murders without bodies were long considered one of the most complex challenges in the
legal profession, but advances in technology have made the once-unthinkable prospect more
common. The absence of the key piece of evidence-the corpse-poses unique problems for both
prosecutors and defense attorneys, according to Thomas “Tad” DiBiase, a Washington-based
lawyer who runs a website chronicling “no body” murders. He said the majority of such cases
end in convictions or guilty pleas. “The body can tell you how the murder occured,” he said. “It
can be tell you when the murder occured, it can tell you where the murder occured, so by taking
away the body you take away all those elements from a case-that makes it enormously difficult.”
The new jersey case was initially treated as a missing person’s case and no connection
was made between the fire and the teens disappearance. In the decades since, any clues have
been all but obliterated. The site of the fire is now a housing complex and additional case files
were reportedly lost in a courthouse flood.

175. The word their in line 6 refers to ...

A. the teens
B. the murderers
C. the police
D. the prosecutors

176. In line 17, the world obliterated is closest in meaning to ...

A. eliminated
B. preserved
C. terminated
D. scattered

177. what can be inferred from the passage about the New Jersey case?
A. the prosecutors have enough evidence
B. the convicts need to find a good lawyer
C. the case needs to be closed
D. the murderers will never be put into trials

A. the site of the murders is an important clue
B. the weapon of the murders has a significant role

D. the prosecutors were the key elements of a case

179. When was the murder of five Newark teenagers solved?

A. in 1978
B. in 2000
C. in 2010
D. in 2011
