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 39 to 43.
GIRLS' EDUCATION
Improving girls' educational levels has been demonstrated to have clear impacts on the health and economic
future of young women, which in turn improves the prospect of their entire community. Research shows that
every extra year of school for girls increases their lifetime income by 15%. Improving female education, and thus
the earning potential of women improves the standard of living for their own children.
Yet, many barriers to education for girls remain. In some African countries, such as Burkina Faso, girls
are unlikely to attend school for such basic reasons as a lack of private toilet facilities for girls. Higher attendance
rates of high schools and university education among women, particularly in developing countries, have helped
them make inroads into professional careers with better-paying salaries and wages.
Education increases a woman's (and her partner's and the family's) level of health and health
awareness. Furthering women's levels of education and advanced training also tends to lead to later ages of
initiation of sexual activity, later ages at first marriage, and later ages at first childbirth, as well as an increased
likelihood to remain single, have no children, or have no formal marriage and alternatively, have increasing levels
of long-term partnerships. It can lead to higher rates of barrier and chemical contraceptive use (and a lower level
of sexually transmitted infections among women and their partners and children), and can increase the level of
resources available to women who divorce or are in a situation of domestic violence. It has been shown, in
addition, to increase women's communication with their partners and their employers, and to improve rates of
civic participation such as voting or the holding of office.

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 44 to 50.
In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related. A theory often involves
an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced. A good example
of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory, in which gases are pictured as being made up of many small
particles that are in constant motion.
A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observations, helps to predict events that have not as yet been
observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory. If observations
confirm the scientists' predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm the predictions, the
scientists must search further. There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory may have to be revised or
rejected.
Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and
performing experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare said:
"Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called science
any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house."
Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a
particular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation that
requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated. These possible solutions are
called hypotheses. In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown. It extends the scientist's thinking beyond
the known facts. The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations and makes observations to test
hypotheses. For without hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose and direction. When hypotheses are
confirmed, they are incorporated into theories.
44. In the fourth paragraph, the author implies that imagination is most important to scientists when they
________
A. gather known facts. B. formulate possible solutions to a problem.
C. evaluate previous work on a problem. D. close an investigation.
45. The word "this" in line 3 refers to ______.
A. the kinetic molecular theory B. an observed event
C. an imaginary model D. a good example
46. According to the second paragraph, a useful theory is one that helps scientists to ______
A. find errors in past experiments. B. publicize new findings.
C. observe events. D. make predictions.
47. The word "related" in line 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. completed B. identified C. described D. connected
48. The word "supported" is closest in meaning to _______.
A. upheld B. investigated C. finished D. adjusted
49. In the last paragraph, what does the author imply a major function of hypotheses?
A. Communicating a scientist's thoughts to others. B. Sifting through known facts.
C. Linking together different theories. D. Providing direction for scientific research.
50. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
A. A good scientist needs to be creative.
B. It is better to revise a hypothesis than to reject it.
C. Theories are simply imaginary models of past events.
D. A scientist's most difficult task is testing hypotheses.
