Question V: Reading comprehension.


a. Put one suitable word in each space.
It now seems clear that one of ...(1)... most pressing problems facing any large city at ...(2)...
end of ...(3)... twentieth century , is that of water supply . While most cities were founded ...(4)...
because water was plentifully available , on one could have foreseen ...5)...demands put upon the
water supply by the sprawling ...(6)... of today . In many cases , cities are forced ...(7)... bring
water from many miles away , often to the detriment ...(8)... the local environment , for water is not
only a commodity needed by man for drinking and washing and industrial processes . Many lakes
...(9)... once served ...(10)... breeding grounds for wild birds now face ...(11)... uncertain future .
As neighboring cities ...(12)... greater and greater demands , ...(13)... water level of such lakes falls
lower and lower , thus depriving the birds of habitat . And ...(14)... apart from this environmental
problem , there is the economic issue to consider . Who owns the water , and how much should
...(15)... consumer pay for it ? The next time you turn on the tap , it might be worth considering
some of these problems , before you have wasted too much water .
b. Read the paragraph carefully and then choose the best answer.
The diseases connected to smoking are a big problem . Doctors think that the annual medical
cost for lung cancer , heart disease , and other illnesses connected to smoking is between 12 and 35
million pounds .
And smoking costs society money in other ways . Between 27 and 61 billion pounds are
spent each year on sick days when people dont go to work , on wages that you dont get when you
dont go to work , and on work lost at the company when you are sick .
This money counts the wages from people who die of cancer at young age and stop paying
taxes . This does not count fire started by cigarettes , which kill fifteen hundred people yearly and
injure another four thousand . Smoking costs every man , woman and child in the UK from one
hundred and ten to two hundred and fifty pounds each year in the lost work and wages . When you
add another fifty to one hundred and fifty pounds yearly in insurance cost , that come to one
hundred and sixty to four hundred and ten pounds . If everyone stopped smoking , a family of four
could have up to one thousand six hundred and forty pounds a year more .
Smoking will also cause other problems . People who dont smoke will live longer , and so
they will take money from the government when they are older . But they will also work for more
years and pay more taxes .
In the end , the value of a non-smoking nation is not in pounds . The good health of the
people is the true value for us all .
1. If everyone stopped smoking , all the United Kingdom .................
A. would have more money.
B. would live longer .
C. would have less money
D. would have no more problems
2. Every year companies lose .............. because of the disease.
A. money
B. work
C. wages
D. time
3. If everyone stopped smoking , a family of four could have ......... more each year .
A. from 110 pounds to 260 pounds
B. from 1,340 pounds to 1,430 pounds
88

C. from 160 pounds to 410 pounds


D. 1, 640 pounds
4. The true value for the UK of not smoking is ..........
A. more working
B. more taxes
C. good health

During the teenage years , many young people can at times be difficult to talk to . They
often seem to dislike being questioned . They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in
school . This is a normal development at this age , though it can be very hard for parents to
understand . It is part of becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still
growing up . Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked
out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up on them .
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and future
plan but should not push them to talk if they dont want to . Parents should also watch for the
danger signs : some young people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex , drugs , alcohol
or smoking . Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual behavior which may be connected with
these and get help if necessary .

b. read the paragraph carefully and then choose the best answer below.
It is not true that British talk about the weather more than any other nation . In many parts of
the world the weather holds just as much fascination . Parts of the fascination arises because the
weather in many parts of the world is very difficult to forecast . Because Britain is an island
sandwiches between a large continent and a large ocean, slight changes in direction of winds in
the Atlantic or movements in areas of high or low pressure can make a major difference to our
weather .
Most of the time our weather is unremarkable . But in the last few years weather patterns
have been causing so much trouble that it raises the question : Is the weather changing to such an
extent that it amounts to a change in the climate?
It is a question that is very difficult to answer . The daily and weekly variations in weather
are so great that it takes years of careful measurement to detect changes in the average weather
from year to year . And to detect changes in the climate involves the worldwide application of a
whole number of scientific investigations .
However , looking at the distant past an estimating what may happen in the future based on
theoretical possibilities , It seems there are two possibilities . The world could be slipping back
towards another Ice Age . But in the shorter term what man is doing may well lead to a heating up
of the planet which could delay , if not prevent any forthcoming Ice Age .
It is sudden and unexpected weather which makes people wonder what is happening to our climate
-like the once - in - a lifetime experience of the vicious storm which swept southern England in
autumn 1987 . The southern states of the USA are used to such storm , the southern part of Britain
isnt . And when literally millions of trees were uprooted and millions of pounds worth of damage
was done to houses ,farms and businesses, people wondered just what was going on . It was
probably the worst storm in Southeast Britain for some 300 years .
1. People are more interested in the weather in places where
A. the weather changes often
B. weather forecasts may be wrong
C. the sea affects the climate
D. the wind makes a big difference
2. It is very difficult for scientists to discover
A. how great the weather changes are
106

B. if the weather is getting worse


C. if the climate is changing
D. what causes so many changes
3. Scientists now think that
A. it is impossible to say what the weather will be like
B. in the future the weather will be the same as in the past
C. it will become hotter all over the world
D. the world will certainly be covered with ice
4. What does the storm of 1987 show us ?
A. Storm can be very damaging to trees and property
B. Britains climate is becoming more like that of the USA
C. We no longer know what weather to expect
D. The climate in Southeast Britain has been getting worse for 300 years
5. The southern states of the USA are used to
A. violent wind
C. vicious storm
B. wet weather
D. ice storm

b. read the paragraph carefully and then choose the best answer below
It is not true that British talk about the weather more than any other nation . In many parts of
the world the weather holds just as much fascination . Parts of the fascination arises because the
weather in many parts of the world is very difficult to forecast . Because Britain is an island
sandwiches between a large continent and a large ocean, slight changes in direction of winds in
the Atlantic or movements in areas of high or low pressure can make a major difference to our
weather .
Most of the time our weather is unremarkable . But in the last few years weather patterns mu ,
m hnh have been causing so much trouble that it raises the question : Is the weather changing to
such an extent that it amounts to a change in the climate?
It is a question that is very difficult to answer . The daily and weekly variations in weather
are so great that it takes years of careful measurement to detect changes in the average weather
110

from year to year . And to detect changes in the climate involves the worldwide application of a
whole number of scientific investigations .
However , looking at the distant past an estimating what may happen in the future based on
theoretical possibilities , It seems there are two possibilities . The world could be slipping back
towards another Ice Age . But in the shorter term what man is doing may well lead to a heating up
of the planet which could delay , if not prevent any forthcoming Ice Age .
It is sudden and unexpected weather which makes people wonder what is happening to our climate
-like the once - in - a lifetime experience of the vicious (a) d di , c lit storm which swept southern
England in autumn 1987 . The southern states of the USA are used to such storm , the southern part
of Britain isnt . And when literally ['litrli](adv) tht vy, ng l
millions of trees were uprooted and millions of pounds worth of damage was done to houses
,farms and businesses, people wondered just what was going on . It was probably the worst storm
in Southeast Britain for some 300 years .

b. read the paragraph carefully and then choose the best answer below
Let children learn to judge their own work . A child learning to talk does not learn by being
corrected all the 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 peoples . In the same way ,
children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught - to walk, run,
climb, whistle, ride a bicycle - compare their own performances with those of more skilled people ,
and slowly make the needed changes . But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his
mistakes for 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 to him , or correct it unless he was made to .
Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher . 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 a matter or right answer , as it may be in mathematics or science , give him the
answer book . Let him correct his own papers . Why should our teachers waste time on such
routine work? Our job should be to help the child 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 the children learn what all educated persons must some days learn , how to measure their
own understanding , how to know what they know or do not know .
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as
school teachers if they ask for it . The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school
116

and used for the rest of ones life is nonsense in a world as complicated as rapidly changing as ours
.Anxious parents and teachers say , but suppose they fail to learn something essential , they will
go out into the world and learn it .

Let children learn to judge their own work . A child learning to talk does not learn by being
corrected all the 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 peoples . In the same way ,
children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught - to walk, run,
climb, whistle, ride a bicycle -compare their own performances with those of more skilled people ,
and slowly make the needed changes . But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his
mistakes for 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 to him , or correct it unless he was made to .
Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher . 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 a matter or right answer , as it may be in mathematics or science , give him the
answer book . Let him correct his own papers . Why should our teachers waste time on such
routine work? Our job should be to help the child 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 the children learn what all educated persons must some days learn , how to measure their
own understanding , how to know what they know or do not know .
122

Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as
school teachers if they ask for it . The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school
and used for the rest of ones life is nonsense in a world as complicated as rapidly changing as ours
.Anxious parents and teachers say , but suppose they fail to learn something essential , they will
go out into the world and learn it .
