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 28 to 34. 
 Children all around the world love to read comic books. Maybe they like to read the kind of comic books
that come out once a month, like Spiderman or Batman, or maybe they like manga-style comic books. That means
that publishers who make comic books need to keep in touch with the things young people like to do. One thing
that many young people today are interested in is technology, so of course kids want to read digital comic books on
electronic devices.
 Let’s take Japanese manga as an example. There are lots of people around the world who enjoy reading
manga. However, in the past, it was difficult to find translated versions of manga in comic bookstores. But that did
not stop manga fans. Some fans who could translate Japanese into their own language started translating manga
themselves. Then they scanned the pages of manga books and uploaded the scanned pages to the Internet with their
translation. This practice has become so popular. People in the comic book industry made up a name for it. By
combining the words scan and translation, they call it “scanlation”, and it is a big problem today. The people who
do scanlation usually share their manga for free, so readers do not buy manga books. Writers, artists, and publishers
all end up losing money because of scanlation. Another problem is piracy in the comic book industry. Illegal
copies of old and brand new comics alike have been hurting comic book sales. 
 Despite the progress made in converting comics to digital formats, hardcopy comic books are still by far
the most popular format among fans. In the meantime, comic book publishers and stores will just have to keep an
eye on their buyers’ habits. As the popularity of digital books for e-readers and tablets grows, the popularity of
digital comic books will grow as well.

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 35 to 42. 
 The oceans are so vast and deep that until fairly recently, it was widely assumed that no matter how much
trash and chemicals humans dumped into them, the effects would be negligible. Proponents of dumping in the
oceans even had a catchphrase: "The solution to pollution is dilution."
Today, we need look no further than the New Jersey-size dead zone that forms each summer in the
Mississippi River Delta, or the thousand-mile-wide swath of decomposing plastic in the northern Pacific Ocean to
see that this "dilution" policy has helped place a once flourishing ocean ecosystem on the brink of collapse.
There is evidence that the oceans have suffered at the hands of mankind for millennia, as far back as
Roman times. But recent studies show that degradation, particularly of shoreline areas, has accelerated dramatically
in the past three centuries as industrial discharge and runoff from farms and coastal cities has increased.
Pollution is the introduction of harmful contaminants that are outside the norm for a given ecosystem.
Common man-made pollutants that reach the ocean include pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, detergents,
oil, sewage, plastics, and other solids. Many of these pollutants collect at the ocean's depths, where they are
consumed by small marine organisms and introduced into the global food chain. 
Many ocean pollutants are released into the environment far upstream from coastlines. Nitrogen-rich
fertilizers applied by farmers inland, for example, end up in local streams, rivers, and groundwater and are
eventually deposited in estuaries, bays, and deltas. These excess nutrients can spawn massive blooms of algae that
rob the water of oxygen, leaving areas where little or no marine life can exist. 
Solid waste like bags, foam, and other items dumped into the oceans from land or by ships at sea are
frequently consumed, with often fatal effects, by marine mammals, fish, and birds that mistake it for food.
Discarded fishing nets drift for years, ensnaring fish and mammals. In certain regions, ocean currents corral
trillions of decomposing plastic items and other trash into gigantic, swirling garbage patches. One in the North
Pacific, known as the Pacific Trash Vortex, is estimated to be the size of Texas. 
Pollution is not always physical. In large bodies of water, sound waves can carry undiminished for miles.
The increased presence of loud or persistent sounds from ships, sonar devices, oil rigs, and even from natural
sources like earthquakes can disrupt the migration, communication, hunting, and reproduction patterns of many
marine animals, particularly aquatic mammals like whales and dolphins.
