Since 1991, Wenlock Books, an award-winning independent bookshop, has served readers in the Shropshire. However,

It’s no surprise that livestock animals like cows, sheep, and goats love gnawing on grass. Graz ing is what they do, because
their stomachs are able to digest all of the cellulose in grass. But unlike these animals, dogs are omnivores, related to
meat-eating hunters like wolves. Yet, if you own a dog, you may have seen your dog snacking on grass while out in your
backyard or on a walk. So why do dogs eat grass? Is it totally normal dog behavior?
Though eating grass might seem unusual for do gs, it’s actuall y a fair l y commo n habit that man y dog own ers h ave not ic ed.
Though canines were historically carnivorous, they actually evolved as omnivores that would eat whatever was available,
including vegetation. Also, the animals that dogs’ ancestors would eat were usually herbivores, so when the wild dogs killed
and ate their prey, they’d by extension be eating whatever the prey animals ate — plant life.
So, their wild ancestors ate vegetation, but what’s the reason domesticated dogs still do it — and why do dogs eat grass,
specifically? Well, different dogs might eat grass for different reasons. It’s usually nothing more than a sign of boredom in dogs.
Or, your pup could simply like the taste or texture of grass, like a human m unching on a celer y stick. If your dog eats a lot of it,
eating grass regularly could be a sign that your dog is not getting enough fiber and is seeking out natural herbs to eat.

The newly-approved version of the World Health Organization’s global manual of diagnoses no longer classifies
transgender health issues as mental and behavioral disorders. Instead, this latest version places issues of gender incongruence
under a chapter on sexual health. As th e news comes out, Human Rights Watch sa ys this change will have a “liberating effect
worldwide.”
In the latest manual, gender incongruence is defined as a marked and persistent incongruence between a person’s
experienced gender and assigned sex. Compared with this latest manual, known as ICD-11, the previous one considers the issue
of gender incongruence as a gender identity disorder in the chapter on mental and behavioral disorders.
Commenting on the revisions, Graeme Reid, lesbian, gay, bisex ual, and transgender right directors at Human Rights Watch
said, “Governments should swiftly reform national medical systems that still use this outdated diagnosis.”
Meanwhile, nine organizations working on gender identity said that the revised version demonstrates that full
depathologization can be achieved, even though this improvement is by no means perfect.
41. Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
(A) ICD-11 is the old version of WHO’s manual.
(B) Gender incongruence refers to the difference between a person’s physical sex and psychological gender.
(C) Human Rights Watch hars hly criticizes ICD-11.
(D) In the latest manual, transgenders are considered guilty.
(E) Nine organizations work with WHO to revise the manual.
42. Which of the following statements is NOT MENTIONED in the article?
(A) Graeme Reid is a human right activist.
(B) Human Rights Watch claims the new version will have positive effects.
(C) In the latest manual, issues of gender incongruence are included in a new chapter.
(D) So far, WHO has recognized all the LGBT groups.

Edd Hammill, an ecologist at Utah State University, first got an inkling that insecticides might not be having their intended
effect while conducting research in orange plantations in northern Costa Rica. #A
Hammill and his team surveyed where the mosquitoes were coming from: bromeliads, a group of plants found in warm
parts of the Americas, often growing on tree branches. The water-filled spaces between their tightly overlapping leaves host a
whole community of insect larvae, including mosquitoes of the species Wyeomyia abebela. #B
The team looked at bromeliads in plantations—some of which had been treated with insecticides for more than twenty
years—and in untreated forests. The Costa Rican growers use dimethoate to treat their orange trees for plant lice, but it kills
many other insect species too. #C
Hammill’s team found that despite all the insecticide, the orange plantations were hosting twice as many mosquitoes as the
pristine forests. But damselfly larvae—a major predator of larval mosquitoes—were conspicuously missing from the
plantations. #D
When the researchers took the insects into the lab and exposed them to varying levels of dimethoate, they found that the
plantation mosquitoes tolerated concentrations ten times higher than the forest mosquitoes. But the plantation damselflies had
evolved no such resistance. #E
The resistant mosquitoes thus appear to have found a sweet spot: a nursery habitat for their young that is devoid of
predatory damselflies. There, they flourish.
46. What is the passage mainly about?
(A) Hammill explored how to kill the mosquitoes.
(B) Mosquitoes often grow on branches of bromeliad.
(C) Damselfly larvae increased dramatically.
(D) Mosquitoes are eaten by damselfly larvae.
(E) Pesticides can increase the number of mosquito.
47. What is dimethoate?
(A) One kind of pesticide (B) One kind of insect species (C) One kind of crop
(D) One kind of orange tree (E) One kind of mosquito
48. Where did Hammill’s research team study mosquitoes?
(A) In southern Costa Rica
(B) In pristine forests only
(C) In orange plantations only
(D) In both pristine forests and orange plantations
(E) In the places which had been treated insecticides only
49. What does “conspicuously” mean?
(A) admirably (B) deliberately (C) intolerably (D) moderately (E) prominently
50. Where is the best place to insert the sentence, “In the U.S. it’s widely used on citrus, corn, and other crops”?
(A) #A (B) #B (C) #C (D) #D (E) #E
