II. READING COMPREHENSION

Passage 1 Our growing need for food, goods and energy has had many harmful effects on the environment. Gases produced by cars, power stations and factories cause acid rain, which kills trees and damages buildings. By using more environmentally friendly forms of transport, we help reduce this form of pollution. A layer of carbon dioxide and other gases traps heat and keeps the earth at the right temperature. This is called the greenhouse effect. By burning fossil fuels we are producing too much carbon dioxide, which is causing temperatures to rise gradually. This global warming could lead to dramatic changes in climate. A layer of a gas called zone protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. Certain chemicals used in industry, such as CFCs, have caused a hole to develop in the ozone layer. The increased levels of ultraviolet radiation damage plants and sea life, and increase the risk of skin cancer. Most of the energy we use to heat and light buildings, run machines, etc. is made by burning fossil fuels. This will eventually run out, so we need to use more alternative sources of energy, such as wind and solar power that are renewable and do not pollute the air. We should also avoid wasting energy by using less electricity and water and insulating our houses. We are destroying our forests, which produce oxygen and provide habitats for animals and birds. Deforestation also allows rain to wash away the soil, making the land useless for growing things. We pollute water by dumping waste from factories and houses, and by accidentally spilling chemicals and oil. Chemical fertilizers damage rivers and lakes by causing a layer of tiny plants, called algae, to cover the surface of the water. Organic farming does not harm the water supply. Burying rubbish in landfills can let harmful chemicals leak through the ground into rivers, and it uses a lot of land. Burning rubbish adds to global warming. By sorting out rubbish for recycling, we can cut down on waste. 1. The passage is mainly about _______________. A. Man and Nature B. How we should use the exciting sources of energy. C. Environmental problems D. Rubbish recycling 2. Acid rain is caused by ___________________. A. gases emitted from car exhausts and factories. B. The burning of rubbish C. The burying of rubbish D. Ultraviolet radiation. 3. Skin cancer may be caused by _____________. A. the global warming. B. Acid rain C. Air pollution D. Ultraviolet radiation. 4. We should use more alternative sources of energy, such as wind and solar power because they ____________. A. are cheaper. B. Will not run out and do not pollute the air.

C. D. 5. A. B. C. D.

Are easier to get. Can be recycled. If we destroy forests, _____________. animals and birds will have no place to live. Rivers and lakes will be polluted. Wildlife and farming will be affected. Our wood supply will run out.

Passage 2 Agriculture is the worlds most important industry. It provides us with almost all our food. It also supplies materials for two other basic human needs clothing and shelter. In addition, agriculture provides materials in making many industrial products, such as paints and medicines. About half of the worlds workers are employed in agriculture far more than in any other industry. Agriculture is one of the worlds oldest industries. It began about 10,000 years ago in the Middle East. By that time, certain Middle East tribes had discovered how to grow plants from seeds and how to raise animals in captivity. Having mastered these skills, they could begin to practice agriculture. Before the development of agriculture, people got all their food by gathering wild plants, hunting and fishing. They had to search for food continually, which left them little time for activities. But as agriculture develop the arts, crafts, trades and other activities of civilized life. Agriculture, therefore, not only greatly affected the food supply but also made civilization possible. 1. The text is mainly about the importance of ____________. A. industry B. agriculture C. food supply D. civilization 2. According to the writer, the basic needs of human beings are ___________. A. food and clothing B. food and medicines C. food, clothing and shelter D. industrial products 3. Agriculture is the practice of ________________. A. growing plants and hunting B. hunting and keeping animals in captivity. C. Gathering wild plants D. Growing plants and rearing animals. 4. Before the development of agriculture, people spent most of their time ________. A. looking for food B. producing food C. growing plants from seeds. D. Raising animals in captivity. 5. As agriculture developed, more people _________ A. became farmers B. became jobless C. could produce food D. could spend their time doing other things. Passage 3:

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected at the same time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people. In the same way the children learn to do all the other thing s. They learn to do without being taught to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the necessary changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistake himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out for him or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he became dependent on teachers. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it. What this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not. If it is the matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help children when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Lets end all this nonsense of grades exams, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let children learn what all educated people must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know. Let them get on this job in the same way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school and used for the rest of ones life is nonsense in a word as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teacher say, but suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world? dont worry, if it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it. 1. What does author think is the best way for children to learn things? A. By copying what other people do. B. By making mistakes and having them corrected. C. By asking questions D. By answering questions 2. What does the author think teachers should NOT do? A. They give children correct answer. B. They point out childrens mistakes for them. C. They allow children to mark their own work, D. They encourage children to copy from one another. 3. The passage suggests that learning to speak and to ride a bicycle is.. A. not really an important skill. B. more important than other skills. C. basically different from learning to do other things. D. basically the same as learning other skills. 4. Exams grades, marks should be abolished because childrens progress should only be estimated by .. A. educated persons B. the children themselves C. teachers

D. parents 5. The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are .. A. too dependent on others B. too critical of themselves C. unable to think for themselves D. unable to use basic skills Passage 4: Bulbs are ideal for new gardeners, including children, because they are easy to plant and they always flower well in their first season. They need comparatively little attention, provided that the soil has been properly prepared, and the place where they are planted is chosen with care. They will last for many years and give you an annual show of flowers that are often so richly colored or beautifully formed as to be in a class apart from other garden flowers. However, it is a mistake to buy bulbs without any plan of what effect you really want from them. I have written this book to help in selecting the most suitable bulbs for the typical, small, modern garden of non-specialist gardeners, and have made some suggestions to help readers who may not have had a garden before. Too many books for beginners tell new gardeners how to grow a few sensible kinds of plants and leave the more interesting kinds to adventurous experts. For the first few years of gardening life, one should, it seems, concentrate on learning simple techniques while admiring the gardens of more experienced neighbors. In fact, as a learner-gardener you need not fear that your efforts will necessarily show your inexperience, because (and here I give away a most closely-guarded secret), provided the bulbs come from a really reliable source, it is possible to produce as good results in your first year of gardening as in your eightieth. There are some difficult bulbs that will disappoint you, notably some lilies and a few miniature daffodils, but there are often no more attractive that the really easy ones. Therefore, be bold with bulbs; they are a sound investment for any garden. Never be content to plant the bulbs by themselves. The majority looks best when planted among other kinds of plants, because they have unattractive leaves, which are thus hidden. There are a few bulbs, such as standard daffodils, which are, however, at their best grown in short grass. 1. Why should new gardeners try growing bulbs? A. They are cheap, so a great many can be grown B. Once planted, little after-care is needed C. They will grow anywhere in the garden D. their flowers get better and better each year. 2. What is this book on gardening about? A. Planting an easily maintained garden. B. Up-to-date information on new bulbs

C. General advice for beginner gardeners D. The choice of bulbs for small gardeners 3. Inexperienced gardeners are often told what they should A. experiment with different plants B. ask their experienced neighbors for advice C. learn by visiting other gardens D. plant a few types of plants 4. Bulbs are described as an investment because .. A. they go on flowering all summer B. they flower year after year C. the beginner can learn from them D. they make other plant look good 5. Some lilies and miniature daffodils are different forms other bulb s because they are . A. particularly attractive in color B. difficult to grow successfully C. disappointing when they flower D. rare and very eye-catching Passage 5: Computer programmer David Jones earns 35,000 a year by designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old boy works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. Davids firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer market each month. But Davids biggest headache is what to do with his money. Despite his salary, earned by investing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and profit sharing, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, or obtain credit cards. He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His company has to pay 150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive. David got his job with the Liverpool based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs, he said. I suppose 35,000 sounds a lot but actually thats being pessimistic. I hope it will come to more than that this year. He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 20 a week. But, most of his spare time is spent working. Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school, he said. But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to

do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway. David added: I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear:. 1. Why is David different from other young people of his age? A. He earns an extremely high salary B. He is not unemployed C. He doesnt go out much D. He lives at home with his parents 2. Davids greatest problem is .. A. making the banks treat him as an adult B. investing computer games C. spending his salary D. learning to drive 3. He was employed by the company because A. he had worked in a computer shop B. he had written some computer programs C. he works very hard D. he had learnt to use computers at school 4. He left school after taking O-levels because . A. he did not enjoy school B. he wanted to work with computers and staying at school did not help him C. he was afraid of getting too old to start computing D. he wanted to earn a lot of money 5. Why does David think he might retire early? A. You have to be young to write computer programs B. He wants to stop working when he is a millionaire C. He thinks computer games might not always sell so well D. He thinks his firm might go bankrupt Passage 6: Unlike the eye, the ear has no lid; therefore noise penetrates without protection .Loud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear. Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same ways that we could respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is Americas number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well. 1. According to the passage, people response to loud noises in the same ways that they response to

A. annoyance C. damage 2. It can be inferred from this passage that the eye A. responds to fear. B. enjoys greater protection than the ear C. increases functions D. is damaged by noise.

B. danger D. disease

3. What is the authors main point? A. noise may pose a serious threat to our physical and psychological health B. Loud noises signal danger C. Hearing loss is Americas number nonfatal health problem D. The ear is not like the eye. 4. Noise is ........................................................................................... A not a serious problem today B. Americas number one problem C. an unavoidable problem in an industrial society D a complex problem 5. What was the topic of the paragraph that preceded this passage? A. the eye B. Heart diseases C. Ulcers D. Fear Passage 7 In his book The Making of the President, 1960, Theodore White made some insightful observations about the television debates between Kennedy and Nixon .He contended that the debates had to be analyzed within the context of the explosion in the field of the communications. During the previous debate, Americans had purchased television sets at a phenomenal rate. By the evening of the debate, 88 percent of all American families owned a television set, and a very large percentage turned into the debate. The format was really less like a debate than like a press conference. Each candidate was allowed an opening statement of eight minutes, and then two and a half minutes to respond to each question proposed by a panel. There was no provision for dialogue between the candidates. As White observed, despite this format, Nixon proceeded as though he was in a personal debates with Kennedy, trying to score points from the reporters on the panel. In contrast, Kennedy spoke directly to the television viewers, concentrating on creating a dynamic and appealing image in order to influence them. Later Kennedy claimed that the debate were the single most important factor in the election. In Whites view the debates did change the direction of the campaign. From research studies, Including Gallup Poll, it appeared that Kennedy had gained at least 2 million votes as a result of the televised programs. When you consider that Kennedy won by a little more than 100,000 votes, the debates had to have made the difference. It has been clear to candidates since then that television debates are a very powerful tool 1. What is the authors main point? A. Television should be removed from politics B. The Gallup Poll was an accurate predictor of the 1960 election C. Kennedys style in the TV debate affected the outcome of the election

D. Eight-eight percent of all Americans owned televisions in 1960 2. How many votes did Kennedy gain as a result of the debate? A. 88 percent B. 100,000 C. 1,960,000 D. 2 million 3. The author mentions all the following as characteristics of the debate except: A. A large television audience B. A dialogue between the candidates C. An opening statement by each candidate D. Questions by a panel of reporters 4. The word dynamic in line 16 is closest in meaning to A. intelligent B. energetic C. attractive D. conventional 5. The word them in line 17 refers to ................................. A. candidates B. reporters C. viewers D. points Passage 8: A combination of sewage, salt, air pollution, sun, sand and wind may destroy the huge statue on the outskirts of Cairo. This statue of the Sun God has the body of a lion and the face of a human being. It is five thousand years old, but it is too badly damaged to be completely saved. The statue had already been dug out of the sand three times. However, the latest problems are much more serious. First, there are no proper drains and water pipes in the neighborhood and the underground passages round the statue have become blocked. Too much water has been running into the stone statue for several years. As a result, tiny pieces of salt have been left on the stone and have damaged it. Secondly, air pollution from the increasing amount of traffic in Cairo is also destroying the ancient statue. The air is so full of poisonous gases that it is making the stone crumble and decay even faster. Thirdly, the statue is being damaged by extremes of temperature. For example, although the air is very cold at night, during the day the stone of the statue becomes very hot under the strong sun. Other natural forces such as severe sandstorms attack the statue. Finally, the tourists who visit the statue every day also cause a lot of damage. 1. The underground passage round the statue are full of A. waste and water B. gold and water C. silver and copper D. drains and water pipes 2.

A. France C. Egypt

B. Iran D. Japan

Passage 9: In the spring of 1934, storms swept across the Great Plains, but they were not rainstorms. They were the result of sun and drought and a terrible wind that blew millions of tons of topsoil from 300,000 square-miles in Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and New Mexico. This was the Dust Bowl. It choked cattle and sickened the people who stayed. Three hundred and fifty thousands settlers fled, many becoming part of a slow, sad caravan along Route 66 to California. But wind and drought were not the only factors that combined to create the Dust Bowl. Only fifty years earlier, a carpet of buffalo grass had covered the Great Plains, protecting the soil and retaining the moisture in the ground. By the turn of the century, farmers had settled, homesteading in regions that had been used as range land. The increased demand for wheat during World War I encouraged farmers to plow and plant even wider areas. Forty percent of the land that they plowed up had never been exposed to rain, wind, or sun before .When the drought and wind came, the land had been prepared for disaster. 1. The author mentions all of the following as having contributed to the disaster except: A. Wind B. Drought C. Homesteading D. Rain 2.
