Part of the passage
Of course, creating anew transport system will not be cheap or
easy. But unlike adding a dedicated bus lane here or extending the underground railway
there, an innovative system such as Jensen’s could transform cities.
And it’s not just a matter of saving a few minutes a day. According to the Red Cross,
more than 30 million people have died inroad accidents in the past century—three times
the number killed in the First World War—and the annual death toll is rising. And what’s
more, the Red Cross believes road accidents will become the third biggest cause of
death and disability by 2020, ahead of diseases such as AIDS and tuberculosis. Surely
we can find abetter way to get around?

Q 14. Paragraph A
Answer:
IV Physical characteristics that allow birds to migrate
Part of the passage:

Birds have many
unique design features
that enable them to
perform such amazing feats of endurance. They are equipped with
lightweight, hollow
bones, intricately designed feathers
providing both lift and thrust for rapid flight, naviga-
tion systems superior to any that man has developed, and an ingenious heat conserv-
ing design that, among other things, concentrates all blood circulation beneath layers of
warm, waterproof plumage, leaving them fit to face life in the harshest of climates. Their

respiratory systems
have to perform efficiently during sustained flights at altitude, so they
have a system of extracting oxygen from their lungs that far exceeds that of any other an-
imal. During the later stages of the summer breeding season, when food is plentiful, their
bodies are able to accumulate
considerable layers of fat, in order to provide sufficient
energy for their long migratory flights.
