It could be said that Fez has to some degree a split personality. It is divided into two sections. One area is Fes
el-Bali, or "old Fes," which reflects the city's ancient past and Islamic roots. The other is Fes el-Jedid, or "new
Fes," _35_ architecture characteristic of a more recent time strongly _35_ by the French. For many tourists, the
attraction of Fez lies in its older medina, which is the name given to old Arabic towns of North Africa. The city
_36_ like a virtual maze, with 9,500 streets offering visitors and locals alike an enormous number of goods for
sale, including jewelry, leather products, crafts, and so on. Not surprisingly, Fez, allegedly having one of the
planet's largest car-free zones, _37_ a World Heritage Site.
Among the many unusual and fascinating sights in Fez are its tanneries, where the hides of animals are
processed. Softening the leather requires pigeon poo, which is why visitors to a tannery are often given fresh mint
to smell to help them cope with the terrible odor _38_ around.

Fez, along with the rest of Morocco, _39_ known _39_ its delicious cuisine. One of the main staples of
Morocco is couscous, made up of small steamed grains of semolina. Along with couscous, Moroccans enjoy beef,
the most commonly eaten red meat there, as well as chicken, lamb, goat, and seafood. These meats are typically
braised and served in tagines, _40_ meat is slow-cooked at low temperatures and simmered so that it is very moist
when served. In addition to its delightful food, Morocco is famous for its mint tea, a green tea made with
spearmint leaves and sugar. Moroccan tea, _41_ it is commonly referred to, has considerable social meaning in
the nation. Especially when guests are present, the serving of the tea is similar to a ceremony. It is poured
downward from a high position, usually by the male head of the household, into glasses, which _42_ the swirling
of the loose leaves to let them add the most taste possible. The tea, along with the fabulous cuisine, is something
that must be tried if you visit Morocco one day.

Changing one's natural appearance seems to be a _43_ of the human race. Clothing, tattooing, and cosmetics
have been used universally for at least 5,000 years. Among cosmetics, lipstick has remained popular in more
places at more times than _44_ of make up. Lipstick was first invented and used in the Middle East. At about the
same time, women in the Indus Valley Civilization in South Asia decorated their faces with red-tinted powders,
too. The Egyptians soon followed, but only the upper classes were allowed or could _45_ to wear lipstick.
Europeans in the Middle Ages seemed to have a love-hate relationship with lipstick. Its use was quite popular
among the lower classes, who used herbal and _46_ dyes to redden their lips. However, after the death of Queen
3
Elizabeth I, lipstick and other cosmetics entered a period of social shame.

It was during this dark hour for cosmetics that the first modern lipstick was invented. In 1884, perfumers in
Paris mixed deer fat, castor oil, and beeswax with their favorite scents and dyes, and then wrapped their products
in silk paper. By the 1930s, the now universal twist-up metal tube for lipsticks _47_ invented, making the
application of lipstick easier than ever. Women and teenage girls increasingly felt comfortable wearing cosmetics
as movies made their use look acceptable.
After the 1950s, there was an explosion of different colored lipsticks that challenged the _48_ of red. Pastels,
white lipstick, and even multiple colors quickly became popular. Lip glosses also sold well. Today, lipsticks come
in an astounding range of colors and _49_.

(A) LIULI, Asia's largest and most recognizable brand of Liuli glass art, was established in Tamsui in 1987.
Initially, the company's first glass studio was dedicated to _50_ contemporary Chinese crystal. It has since grown
to be recognized internationally for its artistic pursuits, has galleries in various locations around the world, _51_
over 1,000 employees. The brand's reputation has been earned primarily due to the effort and craftsmanship, as
well as skills developed by the founders, Loretta Yang and Chang Yi. Their success story shows the value of
dedication to hard work, faith, talent, and determination. AC, C, E, AE
In order to _52_ the initial startup, Yang _52_ her home. However, the business still needed more capital.
Yang approached all of her family members and asked them for money. Three years and NT$180 million later, the
business was generating a healthy cash flow. In the meantime, Yang and Chang had perfected an ancient Chinese
style of glass making, which somehow _53_ its way to France, called pâte de verre.
(B) For the first several years of LIULI, Chang was responsible for the running of the business's finances,
marketing, and day-to-day affairs. His knowledge of the movie industry made him a natural _54_ dealing with the
media. This allowed Yang to concentrate on the artistic side of the business. Together, they formed a formidable
business partnership. Also, Yang has willingly_55_ many of Chang's responsibilities since Chang suffered a
massive heart attack, the result of a life-long struggle with vascular problems.
Three decades ago, these two remarkable talents gave up their movie careers to create a brand that captures
the imaginations of art lovers everywhere. As LIULI pieces are regularly exchanged as gifts among world leaders
and used as trophies by elite sporting clubs. Ironically, their dream came _56_ when Sea Change, an
environmental organization, awarded Hollywood movie star Leonardo DiCaprio a _57_ LIULI art piece to thank
him for raising US$1 million.

(A) Jellyfish are badly named. They are not a fish and they are not made of jelly. They have lived in the waters of
our planet for at least half a billion years. Unsurprisingly, then, jellyfish — also called jellies — have had plenty
of time to _58_ all the oceans and some freshwater bodies, too. Their variety is nearly endless. Most of them are
umbrella-shaped. A nerve net covers their body, acting like a central nervous system. Anything that touches this
4
outer ring of nerves will be "greeted" with stinging cells which inject toxin into the unlucky visitor. Most jellyfish
have little vision, though they can detect light, so they know up _59_ down. A few species can also recognize
color and have a 360-degree view of their environment. Most jellyfish live for only a few months.
Jellyfish come _60_ all sizes, from 0.5 millimeters to the giant Nomura's jellyfish at two meters _60_
diameter, weighing 200 kilograms. Some jellyfish toxins can be deadly to humans, such as _61_ from the box
jellyfish and the Australian Irukandji, but deaths are relatively rare given the number of jellyfish-sting victims
every year. Best advice: stay out of the way of any jellyfish you may see!
AD, E, A, D
(B) As mentioned, jellyfish are also a potential danger to infrastructure. Jellyfish multiply rapidly. The number of
recorded incidences of jellyfish blooms seems to be increasing, and they have already damaged the intake pipes
of critical power and desalination plants, _62_ their operations and costing millions of dollars to clear the pipes.
American nuclear power plants suffered such shutdowns in 1984, 2006, and 2011. _63_, a Scottish one was upset
in 2011, and a Swedish one suffered problems in both 2005 and 2013. A desalination plant in Oman shut down in
2013. Ships have capsized and harbors have clogged during jellyfish blooms, _64_ fish and other species.
However, no animal or plant species is _65_ bad. Humans need to learn the role of each species in the balance of
nature. More importantly, we need to understand that all our human activity influences our natural environment.
We must take responsibility for our actions.
BC, AB, C, AC
A. seep
B. grow
C. hence
D. however
E. not only
Landfills — also called garbage dumps — are an eyesore, and they stink. _66_, the uneaten food thrown out
into them attracts animals that people don't usually like, such as crows, mice, and cockroaches. Worst of all,
landfills contain poisonous materials that may _67_ into the ground and into people's water supplies. It's hard to
find anything nice to say about these dumps.
If Narayana Peesapaty of Hyderabad, India, continues his success, _68_, garbage dumps may become
smaller and fewer. He has developed edible cutlery, one answer to decreasing the size of dumps and reducing the
problems they cause. _69_ will there be fewer pieces of plastic cutlery thrown out, but the whole idea of
disposability — using something just once and then throwing it away — will be challenged.

Last September, Suzette Flores knew something was wrong when her toddler, Rob Ezequiel Garcia, vomited
five times in a single day. It was the first time her 19-month-old son had ever been so sick, she said. When he
developed a fever, she rushed him to the hospital."Five hours later he died," the 31-year-old said of her only born
child. "In those last five hours he was having seizures."
Doctors told Suzette that her child most likely died of bacterial meningitis, an infection that swells and
inflames the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Doctors said the boy likely contracted the infection
by coming into contact with fecal material in his environment.
The disposal and treatment of human waste is a serious issue in the Philippines. The country's National
Sewerage and Septage Management Program (NSSMP) says around 55 people die every day in the country of
nearly 100 million because more than 90 percent of the country's sewage is not collected or treated properly.
Only 10 percent of the country's population has access to piped sewage systems; and the NSSMP says that many
Filipinos who have toilets "do not have septic tanks; many septic tanks have open bottoms; and most septic tanks
are not regularly dislodged and the seepage removed is not treated and disposed of properly."
"Over 30 million people in the Philippines do not have access to improved sanitation facilities," says Katrina
Arianne Ebora, who works on UNICEF's Water, Sanitation and Hygiene program in the Philippines. "Out of this,
7.8 million people, or roughly 8 percent of the country's population don't have access to sanitation facilities at all [thus they] resort to open defecation, meaning they have to defecate in the bushes, in the field, or at the seashore,"
she said.
Suzette is one of those who have no access to proper sanitation facilities. She lives in Tondo, a Manila
neighborhood that is one of the world's most densely populated slums. Like many families in Tondo, Suzette and
5
her husband can't afford a toilet because it costs around 8,000 pesos (about $180). In Tondo, families who can't
afford a toilet usually defecate in a plastic bag.
Also, when walking around Tondo, a Manila slum, it is not uncommon to see toddlers in shirts but without
pants. Water costs about 3 pesos per container and it would take a lot of water to clean a cloth diaper. Zaldey, a
two-year-old boy, pooped on the table where he was eating, bits of rice still on his face. His mother would collect
the waste and place it in a plastic bag and add it the pile of plastic bags in her and her family's waste and garbage.
Garbage trucks come into the neighborhood every morning around 9 or 10am and collect the bags of waste. But
the plastic bags are far from sanitary: bags break or are torn open by animals, thus spilling their contents and
contaminating the area and leaving residents exposed to human waste.
70. The most suitable title for the article may be “_____.”
A. Water Supply and Sanitation by National Sewerage and Septage Management Program
B. How Sewer and Septic System Work
C. A Lack of Clean Water and Sanitation in the Philippines
D. Child Fatality Review
71. The word “sewage” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.
A. waste matters from homes or factories, which usually flow away through underground channels
B. something that is easily infected
C. an area of a city where living conditions are very bad and houses are in bad condition
D. device that can keep people from being exposed to malnutrition
72. What can be inferred from the paragraph?
A. It is shocking to see toddlers without pants in Manila slums.
B. Around 7.8 million people in Tondo have access to sanitation facilities.
C. Plastic bags are statistically efficient for storing human waste.
D. Fewer children in the Philippines would die if the disposal and treatment of human waste were properly
managed.
