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. But recent  studies show that degradation, particularly of shoreline areas, has accelerated dramatically in the past  three centuries as industrial discharge and run-off from farms and coastal cities have increased. 

Pollution is the introduction of harmful contaminants that are outside the norm for a given  ecosystem. Common man-made pollutants reaching the oceans 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 wastes 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 them for food. Discarded fishing nets drift for many 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, and reproduction  patterns of many marine animals, particularly aquatic mammals like whales and dolphins.
