The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is anAfricaneven-toed ungulatemammal, thetallestliving terrestrial animal and the largestruminant. Itsspecies name refers to itscamel-likeappearance and the patches of color on its fur. Its chief distinguishing characteristics are itsextremely long neck and legs, its horn-likenosecones,and its distinctive coat patterns. It stands 5- 6 m (16 - 20 ft) tall and has an average weight of 1,600 kg (3,500 lb) for males and 830 kg(1,800 lb) for females. It is classified under thefamilyGiraffidae, along with its closest extantrelative, theokapi.The nine subspecies are distinguished by their coat patterns.

The giraffe's scattered range extends fromChad in the north toSouth Africa in the southand fromNiger in the west toSomalia in the east. Giraffes usually inhabitsavannas,grasslands,and openwoodlands.Their primary food source isacacia leaves, which they browse at heights.Giraffes are preyed on bylions, and calves are also targeted byleopards,spotted hyenas,andwild dogs. Adult giraffes do not have strong social bonds, though they do gather in looseaggregations if they happen to be moving in the same general direction. Males establish socialhierarchies through "necking", which are combat bouts where the neck is used as aweapon.Dominant males gain mating access to females, which bear the sole responsibility forraising the young.

The giraffe has intrigued various cultures, both ancient and modern, for its peculiarappearance, and has often been featured in paintings, books, and cartoons. It is classified by

the International Union for Conservation of Nature asLeast Concern, but has beenextirpatedfrom many parts of its former range, and some subspecies are classified asEndangered.

The following text is for question 31 to 34.

Solar energy is becoming a popular energy source due to the fact that it is the most abundant and

most cost effective energy source on the planet. Solar energy is created when the power of thesun is harnessed in order to produce energy. Since the 1950s, solar energy is used to create

sources of power to fuel technology, homes, and many businesses. Because technology isevolving at the speed of light, solar energy is becoming more proficient as an energy source andrecognized as a feasible alternative to fossil fuels.

Todays technology allows for the harnessing of solar energy through cells known as

solar cells. These are also called photovoltaic cells. Photovoltaic cells are placed in directsunlight and as the sun hits these cells, a chemical reaction takes place to produce electriccurrents. These currents are, then, converted into electricity that can be used to power everydayitems or even households.

Solar energy is classified as either active solar energy or passive solar energy. Panels and

solar cells are not used in passive solar energy, but structures or buildings will be constructed ina way to capture the sunspower through the use of windows or tanks. These systems will, then,heat homes or water, but can not be converted into actual electricity.

Active solar energy is just the opposite. Solar panels or solar cells will be used to capturethe suns energy. Thepanels or cells are placed in a way that they will maximize the sunsexposure. The suns energy is, then, converted into direct or alternate current electricity which is,

then, stored into batteries. In some cases, the electricity will be fed into a grid system of a utilityplant when larger amounts of energy are needed.

(Taken from http://www.ifpaenergyconference.com)

C. solar energy is a source of energy used in daylight only

D. active solar energy is as not important as the passive oneE. solar energy can replace fossil fuel as the major energy source

33. The main purpose of the text is to . . . .A. explain how utilize solar energyB. describe two kinds of the solar energyC. retell the readers about the solar panelsD. persuade the readers to use the solar energyE. present two points of view about the solar energy
