Soal Toefl Reading Practice Section 3

The Reading Comprehension section contains reading passages and
questions about the passages. The questions are about information that is

stated or implied in the passage and about some of the specific words in the
passages. Because many English words have more than one meaning, it is
important to remember that these questions concern the meaning of a word or
phrase within the context of the passage.
Answer all questions about the information in a passage on the basis of what
is statedor implied in that passage.

Read the following passage:

The railroad was not the first institution to impose regularity on
society, or to draw attention to the importance of precise
timekeeping. For as long as merchants have set out their wares at
Line daybreak and communal festivities have been celebrated, people
(5) have been in rough agreement with their neighbors as to the time of
day. The value of this tradition is today more apparent than ever.
Were it not for public acceptance of a single yardstick of time,
social life would be unbearably chaotic: the massive daily transfers
of goods, services, and information would proceed in fits and
(10) starts; the very fabric of modern society would begin to unravel.

Example I
What is the main idea of the passage?
A.
In modern society we must make more time for our neighbors.
B.
The traditions of society are timeless.
C.
An accepted way of measuring time is essential for the smooth
functioning of society.
D.
Society judges people by the times at which they conduct certain
activities.
The main idea of the passage is that societies need to agree about how time is
measured in order to function smoothly. Therefore, you should choose answer C.

Example II
In line 6, the phrase "this tradition" refers to
A.
the practice of starting the business day at dawn
B.
friendly relations between neighbors
C.
the railroad's reliance on time schedules
D.
people's agreement on the measurement of time

The phrase "this tradition" refers to the preceding clause, "people have been in
rough agreement with their neighbors as to the time of day." Therefore, you
should choose answer D.

Now begin work on the questions.

PRACTICE PASSAGE
The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Ocean.
It stretches southward across the largest and northernmost state in
the United States, ending at a remote ice-free seaport village nearly
Line 800 miles from where it begins. It is massive in size and extremely
(5) complicated to operate.
The steel pipe crosses windswept plains and endless miles of
delicate tundra that tops the frozen ground. It weaves through
crooked canyons, climbs sheer mountains, plunges over rocky
crags, makes its way through thick forests, and passes over or
(10) under hundreds of rivers and streams. The pipe is 4 feet in diameter,
and up to 2 million barrels (or 84 million gallons) of crude oil can
be pumped through it daily.
Resting on H-shaped steel racks called "bents," long sections of
the pipeline follow a zigzag course high above the frozen earth.
(15) Other long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or rocky
ground and return to the surface later on. The pattern of the
pipeline's up-and-down route is determined by the often harsh
demands of the arctic and subarctic climate, the tortuous lay of the
land, and the varied compositions of soil, rock, or permafrost
(20) (permanently frozen ground). A little more than half of the pipeline
is elevated above the ground. The remainder is buried anywhere
from 3 to 12 feet, depending largely upon the type of terrain and
the properties of the soil.
One of the largest in the world, the pipeline cost approximately
(25) $8 billion and is by far the biggest and most expensive construction
project ever undertaken by private industry. In fact, no single
business could raise that much money, so 8 major oil companies
formed a consortium in order to share the costs. Each company
controlled oil rights to particular shares of land in the oil fields and
(30) paid into the pipeline-construction fund according to the size of its
holdings. Today, despite enormous problems of climate, supply
shortages, equipment breakdowns, labor disagreements, treacherous
terrain, a certain amount of mismanagement, and even theft, the

Alaska pipeline has been completed and is operating.
