Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the earth. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia, a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact that the dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs were found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone.

           The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog.

          The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. With needle-shaped noses and razor sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were slightly shorter, and their jaws were designed to be better able to dissect their prey quickly and precisely.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Although people drive in all countries, the rules can be quite different between nations and areas. For this reason, you should always learn the laws before you decide to drive in a foreign country. If you are not careful, you can get into trouble since the rules might be very different from what you are used to. For example, you can find some big differences in laws related to the minimum driving age, the appropriate side of the road to drive on, and mobile phone use while driving.

In the U.S., people who live in Alaska may obtain a learner’s permit (legal permission to drive while being supervised) at the age of fourteen. This is quite different from the driving laws of Niger, where a person must be at least twenty-three years old to drive. If you are inquisitive to know the minimum driving age in most countries, the answer is eighteen. It may also surprise you to learn that not every country allows its citizens to drive, although most of them do. For example, women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia no matter how old they are. Instead, they must have a male family member or hired male driver to travel by car.

Driving on the right or left side of the road also varies. For instance, in Great Britain, Cyprus, Australia, India, and Malaysia people drive on the left. However, in the U.S., Mexico, France, and Canada people are required to drive on the right. As a matter of fact, one country can have differ

  driving rules for different areas. People in Hong Kong drive on the left, while drivers in other parts     of China use the right side of the road.

Other driving laws that are different between countries include those related to using mobile phones. In Japan, using any kind of mobile phone device is illegal, even if you do not need to hold the phone with your hands. However, in Argentina and Australia, drivers are allowed to talk on their mobile phones as long as they do not use their hands.

You might also find it interesting to learn that some countries have very unusual laws. For example, in the country of Cyprus, it is against the law to eat or drink anything while driving. Even more interesting is that in Germany, there is a famous road called the Autobahn, where certain parts have no speed limit at all!

Question 44: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

1. Females can drive a car in Saudi Arabia.
2. People in India drive on the right side of the road.
3. You can drive as fast as you want on all parts of the German Autobahn.
4. You are not allowed to hold your mobile phone and talk while you drive in Australia.

Question 45: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a main difference in driving laws in this passage?

A. Drink driving limit                                        B. Legal driving age

C. Right or left hand traffic                               D. Safety calls

Question 46: According to the passage, it is illegal to eat or drink while driving in                                                                                                                                           .

A. Cyprus                     B. Great Britain            C. China                       D. Australia

Question 47: It is important to learn the laws before driving in a foreign country because                                                                                                                                           .

1. It is fun to learn about other countries’ driving laws.
2. You can get into trouble when you are not used to another country’s rules.
3. You can have a car accident if you do not know the rules.
4. It helps you identify the appropriate side of the road to drive on.

Question 48: The word “inquisitive” in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by                                                                                                                                           .

A. indifferent                B. concerned                  C. nosy                        D. curious

Question 49: The word “those” in paragraph 4 refers to              .

A. drivers                      B. mobile phones          C. driving laws             D. countries

Question 50: What is the main idea of the passage?

1. Driving in all countries shares a common purpose.
2. There are differences in laws related to driving among countries.
3. Countries have different ways to enact laws on driving.
4. People in different countries drive on different sides of the road.
