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 following questions.
 Lichens, probably the hardiest of all plants, live where virtually nothing else can – not just on rugged 
mountain peaks but also on sun baked desert rocks. They are usually the first life to appear on a mountainside 
that has been scraped bare by an avalanche. Unlike other members of the plant kingdom, lichens are actually 
a partnership between two plants. The framework of a lichen is usually a network of minute hair like fungus 
that anchors the plant. The other component is an alga (similar to the green film of plant life that grows on 
stagnant pools) that is distributed throughout the fungus. Being green plants, algae are capable of 
photosynthesis--that is, using energy from the Sun to manufacture their own food. The fungi arc believed to 
supply water, minerals, and physical support to the partnership. 
 Lichens are famous for their ability to survive from water shortage. When water is scarce (as is often 
the case on a mountain), lichens may become dormant and remain in that condition for prolonged periods of 
time. Some lichens can even grow where there is no rain at all, surviving on only occasional dew--the 
moisture that condenses on the surface of the plants at night, And unlike most other plants, lichens are little 
affected by the strong ultraviolet rays in the mountains.
 Lichens use little energy, for they grow slowly. Some grow so slowly and are so old that they are 
called "time stains." You may find lichens that are centuries old; certain of these lichen colonies have been 
established for an estimated 2,000 years. 
 For decades, scientists wondered how the offspring of an alga and a fungus got together to form a 
new lichen, it seemed unlikely that they would just happen to encounter one another. It was finally 
discovered that in many cases the two partners have never been separated. Stalk-like "buds" that form on 
certain lichens are broken off by the wind or by animals; these roll or are blown to a new location.
Question 66. Which of the following questions does the passage answer? 
 A. Where can the oldest lichens be found? 
 B. How long does it take for lichens to establish themselves? 
 C. How large can lichens be?

Question 67: The word "encounter" in line 21 is closest in meaning to: 
 A. lose B. support C. meet D. create 
Question 68. Which of the following terms is defined in the passage? 
 A. "anchors" (line 6) C. "dew" (line 14.) 
 B. "stagnant" (line 7) D. "ultraviolet" (line 16)
Question 69: The author mentions "the green film of plant life that grows on stagnant pools" (lines 6-7) in 
order to explain 
 A. how the sun affects lichens C. where fungi become algae 
 B. why plants depend on water D. what algae are 
Question 70: It can be inferred from the passage that lichens use less energy and grow more slowly when:
6 C. It involves the use of three substances: quicklime, water and calcium oxide. 
 D. It is more efficient than current methods of retaining heat at power-to-heat facilities.
