(1) Interest is the sum charged for borrowing money for a fixed period of time. Principal is the term used for the money that is borrowed, and the rate of interest is the percent per year of the principal charged for its use. Most of the profits for a bank are derived from the interest that they charge for the use of their own or their depositor’s money. (2) All problems in interest may be solved by using one general equation that may be stated as follows: Interest = Principal X Rate X Time (3) Any one of the four quantities – that is, interest, principal, rate, or time – may be found when the other three are known. The time is expressed in years. The rate is expressed as a decimal fraction. Thus, 6 percent interest means six cents charged for the use of $1 of principal borrowed for one year. Although the time may be less than, equal to, or greater than one year, most applications for loans are for periods of less than one year. For purpose of computing interest for short periods, the commercial year or 360 days is commonly used, but when large sums of money are involved, exact interest is computed on the basis of 365 days. Question 36: With what topic is this passage primarily concerned? (A) Profits (B) Rate (C) Interest (D) Principal Question 37: The word “fixed” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to (A) Definite (B) short (C) repeated (D) trial Question 38: At 4 percent interest for the use of $1 principal, how much would one pay?

(1) The protozoans, minute, aquatic creatures each of which consists of a single cell of protoplasm, constitute a classification of the most primitive forms of animal life. They are fantastically diverse, but three major groups may be identified on the basis of their motility. The Mastigophora have one or more long tails, which they use to project themselves forward. The Ciliata, which use the same basic means for locomotion as the Mastigophora, have a larger number of short tails. The Sarcodina, which include amoebae, float or row themselves about on their crusted bodies. (2) In addition to their form of movement, several other features discriminate among the three groups of protozoans. For example, at least two nuclei per cell have been identified in the Ciliata, usually a large nucleus that regulates growth but decomposes during reproduction, and a smaller one that contains the genetic code necessary to generate the large nucleus. (3) Protozoans are considered animals because, unlike pigmented plants to which some protozoans are otherwise almost identical, they do not live on simple organic compounds. Their cell demonstrates all of the major characteristics of the cells of higher animals. (4) Many species of protozoans collect into colonies, physically connected to each other and responding uniformly to outside stimulate. Current research into this phenomenon, along with investigations carried out with advanced microscopes may necessitate a redefinition of what constitutes protozoans, even calling into question the basic premise that they have only one cell. Nevertheless, with the current data available, almost 40,000 species of protozoans have been identified. No doubt, as the technology improves our methods of observation, better models of classification will be proposed. Question 43: Where do protozoans probably live? (A) Water (B) Sand (C) Grass (D) Wood Question 44: What is protoplasm? HOC24.VN 6 (A) A class of protozoan (B) The substance that forms the cell of a protozoan (C) A primitive animal similar to a protozoan (D) An animal that developed from a protozoan Question 45: To which class of protozoans do the amoebae belong? (A) Mastigophora (B) Ciliata (C) Sarcodina (D) Motility Question 46: What is the purpose of the large nucleus in the Ciliata? (A) It generates the other nucleus. (B) It contains the genetic code for the small nucleus. (C) It regulates growth. (D) It reproduces itself. Question 47: Why are protozoans classified as animals? (A) They do not live on simple organic compounds. (B) They collect in colonies. (C) They respond uniformly to outside stimulate. (D) They may have more than one cell. Question 48: The word “uniformly” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to (A) in the same way (B) once in a while (C) all of a sudden (D) in the long run Question 49: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to (A) protozoans (B) microscopes (C) investigations (D) colonies Question 50: Which of the following statements are NOT true of protozoans? (A) There are approximately 40,000 species. (B) They are the most primitive forms of animal life. (C) They have a large cell and a smaller cell. (D) They are difficult to observe.
