Now go through TEXT H quickly in order to answer 33 and 34 In June 1979, Bryan Allen, a biologist from California who is also a hang-gliding enthusiast and an amateur racing cyclist, made history by pedaling across the English Channel in the Gossamer Albatross, a super-light, propeller-driven aircraft invented by Dr. Paul McCready. The Gossamer Albatross, a 33-kilogram (72-pound) aircraft with a polythene-covered fuselage and a wingspan of 30 meter (100 feet ), the same as that of a DC-9 jet airliner, was driven mostly by conventional bicycle components. Allen sat on a bicycle saddle inside the transparent fuselage and pedaled a bicycle crank and chain-wheel that turned a special urethane chain geared through two more chain-wheels to a propeller mounted aft of the wing. Shortly after dawn that June day, the Albatross rolled down a harbored runway in Folkstone, England. Pedaling hard, Allen got the aircraft aloft and churned his way toward France. After almost three hours of pedaling to produce a constant output of about 0.3 horsepower , he landed on a beach near Calais, the first person to fly a human-powered craft across the Channel. Allen and an American team led by Dr. McCready were awarded the 100,000 prize by Henry Kremer, a British industrialist, for the first successful nonstop human-powered flight across the English Channel. Allen and McCready were no strangers to human-power flight. They and the American team had previously won the 25,000 Kremer prize for the first such sustained flight when they had successfully flown a one-mile figure-eight course in McCreadys Gossamer Condor.

TEXT I First read the following questions. 56. Insects are classified by ________. A. the environment in which they live B. the food they eat C. the structure of the mouth D. the number and type of wings 57. The purpose of the maxillae is to ________. A. bite or sting B. drill through surface to find nourishment C. put food between the jaws D. oak up nourishment like a sponge. Now go through TEXT J quickly in order to answer question 37 and 38. Features of the mouth pars are very helpful in classifying the many kinds of insects. A majority of insects have biting mouth parts or mandibles as in grasshoppers and beetles. Behind the mandibles are the maxillae which serve to direct food into the mouth between the jaws. A labrum above and a labium below are similar to an upper and lower lip. In insects with sucking mouth parts, the mandibles, mandibles, maxillae, labrum, and labium are modified to provide a tube through which liquid can be drawn. In a butterfly or moth the coiled drinking tube is called the proboscis. Composed chiefly of modified maxillae fitted together, the proboscis can be extended to reach nectar deep in a flower. In a mosquito or an aphid, mandibles and maxillae are modified to sharp styles with which the insect can drill through surfaces to reach juice. In a housefly, the expanding labium forms a sponge-like mouth pad used to stamp over the surface of food.

TEXT J First read the following questions. 58. In order for you to transfer, permission must be granted by an official at the ________. A. foreign student advisors office B. new university C. Immigration office D. passport office Now go through TEXT J quickly in order to answer question 39. A green I-538 form is used by international students in order to obtain permission from the Immigration and Naturalization Service to transfer from one university to another in the United States. If you are planning to transfer, remember that you must complete the form I-538, have it signed by the foreign student advisor, and submit it to the District Office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service together with the form I-20 from your new school and the small, white form I-94 that was affixed to your passport when you entered the country. Submitting the signed I-538 and other documents does not insure permission to transfer. Only and official of Immigration can decide each case. Students who have not completed the term of study at the school that insure them their first I-20 are not advised to file for permission to transfer until they have complete one term.
