（CEB|SHL Talent Measurement） The vegetation in the Himalayas varies tremendously from one part of the Himalayas to another. The Eastern Himalayas are characterised by tropical rainforests. Subtropical and alpine forests are indicative of the Central and Western Himalayas. The Transhimalaya is considered a desert region. The conditions caused by the altitude and climate have a tremendous effect on the Himalayas' vegetation. The low to medium altitudes contain climates ranging from tropical deciduous forests in the foothills to balmy forests in the medium altitudes. As the altitude increases, coniferous and alpine forests can be found. The even higher altitudes contain alpine grasslands and meadows, right up to the permanent snowline. Over time, the Himalayas have drastically changed, especially with respect to their flora and fauna. The root cause of this change has been man. Many centuries ago, the forests were able to replenish themselves as the demand for the resources was smaller and manageable. Man has gradually become more dependent on the forests to satisfy his needs, which has thrown off the natural balance. The problems have continued with the increase in human population and the demands on the forests from various industries. The forests are being destroyed both for firewood and to support manufacturing. Forests are cleared to provide additional space for the increasing population. Trees that existed in abundance in the Himalayas five decades ago are now rare or nonexistent. According to the text above, where are the deserts of the Himalayas located?

This includes the disclosure of contributions and expenditures in connection with campaigns supporting or opposing state and local candidates and ballot measures as well as the disclosure of expenditures made in connection with lobbying the State Legislature and attempting to influence administrative decisions of the California state government.

（CEB|SHL Talent Measurement） The use of the Internet by govenmments, businesses, and individuals has grown rapidly within the past few years, especially since the creation of the World Wide Web. The pace of development and expansion shows no signs of abating, with new ways rapidly opening up for organisations to conduct their business. A questionnaire that was intended to be easy to complete was devised, and all national representatives of G7 Government On-Line and ICA countries were invited to respond. The questions and responses were expected primarily from a national or federal government perspective, although there was ample scope to draw upon local government initiatives where representatives considered these important to the national picture. The study was intended to be rapid in execution and delivered in a timely mahher. Following an initial meeting, the questionnaire was developed jointly in Bonn (Germany) and Norwich (UK), making extensive use of both email and video conferencing for effective collaboration. The questionnaire was issued via e-mail and was also published on the World Wide Web.ReSponses were obtained over a period of two to three months. The results were then synthesised, and the report produced between 23 and 25 September, 1997. What is the main point of the above paragraphs?

（CEB|SHL Talent Measurement） Today FBI Director Louis J. Freeh inaugurated the full operation of the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), a new advanced technology system that will provide major enhancements in the fight against crime. IAFIS provides Federal, state, and local criminal justice agencies the ability to electronically transmit fingerprint information, vastly improving response time. In the past, criminal justice agencies had to post paper fingerprint cards to the FBI for-processing. After the cards were received, a semi-automated system was used to classify the fingerprints and compare them against the fingerprint cards in the FBI's repository. Because the FBI fingerprint file contains more than 34 million cards--a figure comparable to 18 stacks as tall as the Empire State Building in New York City--the identification process sometimes took weeks to complete. IAFIS will compare the submitted images with its huge database of fingerprints and will respond within two hours. The response will include a complete criminal history of the person, if one exists. Even if the per fingerprinted provides 9identification, IAFIS will make a positive identification by matching fingerprints. What is this main point of the above article?

（CEB|SHL Talent Measurement） The SR-71 is a semi-retired U.S. Air Force reconnaissance plane. This sub-orbital jet was used by the United States predominantly as a spy plane in the decades before satellites were used to perform the same function. The SR-71 was first flown in 1964 for stealth and to avoid radar detection; however, it was capable of flying so high and so fast that it was generally undetectable from the ground. It also had no capacity for combat because any changes in its speed or shape would undermine its ability to be “invisible." As a result, some described it as a "flying engine." One pilot reported that the plane was fired at over 1,100 times during its active tenure, yet was never hit. Also known in the United States as the "Blackbird" and in Japan the SR-71 was able to fly at speeds up to 2,200 miles per hour, equivalent to more than three times the speed of sound. A camera loaded with high-speed film was mounted in the belly of the and took pictures from high altitudes to provide the U.S. military with information about the activities of its adversaries during the Cold War. The cameras were so sophisticated that they could photograph a golf ball from 80,000 feet. The total number of Blackbirds ranged from 30 to 40 before its eventual retirement. A few were reactivated by NASA in 1996 for research, while some now are used by the U.S. Air Force for display at air shows and in museum such as the Smithsonian Institution. Referring to the above, in what year did the United States begin flying the SR-71?
