Around the world, the bicycle is a favorite method of transportation, especiallyLine in China. With its large urban population, China ranks first in the world in bicycle production and use. In fact, China is responsible for half of the worlds bike ownership, with 10 million bicycles found in Beijing alone. This amounts (5) to about one bicycle for every two residents, and makes cycling the most popular form of transportation in the capital. However, as economic prosperity has increased, individual car ownership has also risen. This shift has contributed to already serious problems with urban pollution and traffic congestion. As a result, the government has encouraged even (10) more bicycle use. Bike lanes have been added to city streets, and more bicycle parking lots have been created throughout Beijing. Still, critics point out that cars are much more convenient for many daily activities in a large city. Only time will tell if government measures will ensure that bicycles remain the favorite method of transportation.The author implies that car ownership in China is on the rise because A(A) bicycles are seen as old-fashionedB(B) Beijing air pollution makes cycling too difficultC(C) there are now more wealthy Chinese able to purchase carsD(D) bicycles are easier to maneuver on busy streetsE(E) government measures to increase bicycle use have been largely unsuccessful 3. All mammals require sleep; it is an essential part of life. For giraffes, two hours aLine day is enough. For bats, that number is closer to twenty. The average adult human needs between seven and nine hours of sleep every day. Despite these differences, mammals all have one thing in common: If they do not get enough sleep, they can (5) suffer serious mental and physical consequences. The most extensive sleep research has been conducted on people. Through these studies, scientists have identified two broad categories of sleep, which can be further divided into five stages with distinct physiological functions. Taken together, they form a complete sleep cycle. The first four stages are marked by a (30) lack of rapid eye movement (REM). Therefore, they are referred to as non-REM sleep. While people are engaged in non-REM sleep, several things are occurring. Researchers have discovered that during this early sleep, the human body releases a series of hormones responsible for the proper functioning of certain body systems. Disrupted sleep can cause these hormones to fall out of balance. (15) The results can contribute to disorders such as diabetes, depression, infertility, or even cancer. Lack of sleep, especially in stages 3 and 4, can literally stunt the growth of children and may increase rates of obesity in adults. Stage 5 sleep is defined by the occurrence of rapid eye movement, otherwise known as dreaming. Note that, while REM sleep is the final stage in a sleep cycle, (20) a complete cycle generally lasts only about 95 minutes. A person will experience four to six cycles in one sleep session, with REM sleep taking up a larger portion of the cycle as the night continues. Scientists have advanced several theories about why humans need REM sleep. One view is that dreaming aids in memory consolidation. Under this theory, during REM sleep the brain not only strengthens (25) memory of important actions or events, but it weakens memory of unimportant things. Another view is that dreaming is necessary for proper central nervous system development. Yet another theory suggests that REM sleep involves the repair of monoamine receptors. The theories are not necessarily exclusive; in fact, they all reach the conclusion that REM sleep deprivation can result in death.The author implies that disrupted sleep can cause disorders such as diabetes (line 15) because A(A) diabetes is linked to obesityB(B) sufficient sleep is not crucial to good healthC(C) diabetes is a serious physical consequence of poor sleepD(D) the disorders are probably a result of unbalanced hormone productionE(E) non-REM sleep is more important than REM sleep 4.
