Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet correct answer to each of the following questions.
Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow-blindness. Yet, dark glasses or not, they find
themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow-blindness, when exposed to
several hours of "snow light".
The United States Army has now determined that the glare from snow does not cause snow-blindness in
troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man's eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad
expanse of a snow-covered area. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire
landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop
searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature balances this annoyance by
producing more and more liquid which covers the eyeballs. The liquid covers the eyeballs in increasing
quantity until vision blurs. And the result is total, even though temporary, snow-blindness.

Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main
body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross
completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark-colored
objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is
arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching through the
snow- blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the
snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost: In this way the problem of crossing a solid white
area is overcome.

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 following questions.
While light at night can be beneficial, neutral, or damaging for individual species, its presence
invariably disturbs ecosystems. For example, some species of spiders avoid lit areas, while other species

are happy to build their spider web directly on a lamp post. Since lamp posts attract many flying
insects, the spiders that don't mind light gain an advantage over the spiders that avoid it.
Light pollution poses a serious threat in particular to nocturnal wildlife, having negative impacts on
plant and animal physiology. It can confuse animal navigation, alter competitive interactions, change
predator-prey relations, and cause physiological harm. The rhythm of life is orchestrated by the natural
patterns of light and dark, so disruption to these patterns impacts the ecological dynamics.
Studies suggest that light pollution around lakes prevents zooplankton, such as Daphnia, from eating
surface algae, causing algal blooms that can kill off the lakes' plants and lower water quality. Light
pollution may also affect ecosystems in other ways. For example, scientists have documented that night
time light may interfere with the ability of moths and other nocturnal insects. to navigate. Night-
blooming flowers that depend on moths for pollination may be affected by night lighting, as there is no
replacement pollinator that would not be affected by the artificial light. This can lead to species decline
of plants that are unable to reproduce, and change an area's long term ecology.
Reducing light pollution implies many things, such as reducing sky glow, reducing glare, reducing light
trespass, and reducing clutter. The method for best reducing light pollution, therefore, depends on
exactly what the problem is in any given instance. Adjusting the type of lights used, so that the light
waves emitted are those that are unlikely to cause severe light pollution problems.
