VIII. READING COMPREHENSION

Directions: Answer the questions based on the information given in the preceeding passage by choosing
the letter corresponding to the correct answer.
Something weird is happening to the world's weather. The global thermostat is malfunctioning.
Everywhere, nature is unsettled and, most likely, mankind is to blame.

Global warming is now a reality that even the die-hard skeptics struggle to dispute. The authoritative
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts temperatures will rise 4°C or more by the end of
the century. Clearly, prompt action to limit CO2 emissions is needed to curb the escape of
chlorofluorocarbons that deplete the ozone layer. But it's just as clear that, whatever we do,
temperatures will continue to climb-and that even in modest increase will tilt the world's economic and
political balance. Put simply, in the short term there will be winners and losers from climate change.
Fairly or not, the tilt is destined to favor the countries of the rich North, to the detriment of the poorer
South. Within a few decades or so, a balmy Greenland may again deserve its name.

66. As used in the selection, "weird" means

a. unusual

b. disgusting

c. unwanted

d. instructive

e. ordinary

67. What should be done to prevent the increase in world temperatures?

a. Blame mankind for the change in world's weather.

b. Control the emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

c. Practice global warming.

d. Promote world economic and political balance.

e. Campaign for people to be winners in climate change.

68. Authorities predict that temperatures will rise 4 degrees Celsius

a. by 2999

b. in 2029

c. by 2099

d. in 2050

e. by 2009

While Apple's iPhone launch was absorbing all the available buzz in recent months, two dueling teams
of technologists were feverishly finalizing gadgets they hope will refocus the spotlight. The FlipStart,
dreamed up and funded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, launches in April. Its creators call it the first
fully powered ultra-mini personal computer (UMPC) that is satisfying to use. Meanwhile, a team led by
ex-Apple star Jory Bell has countered with the OQO2 - a palm-sized computer that stakes a similar claim
with a slightly different approach. These aren't the only machines to claim UMPC status, but they're
among the first to package a new generation of processors, batteries, screens and memory chips into
devices that are more portable than laptops and more powerful than mobile phones.

69. A good title for the selection is

a. The Race to Produce the First UMPC.

b. Competing to Market the UMPC.

d. a palm-sized OQO2 with similar claims as that of FlipStart.

e. a device that is more portable than a laptop.

Xianyang, China, was once a great place to live - during the Qin Dynasty, anyway, more than 2,000 years
ago. Since then, it has gone pretty much downhill. Today, Xianyang is one of the most populated cities in
a very polluted country, partly as a result of the air-fouling coal that's nothing is burned there. Iceland's
capital gets 100% of its heat and 40% of its electricity from geothermal power; the rest comes from
hydropower. The same forces that have scattered no fewer that 130 volcanoes across the tiny country
bring molten rock relatively close to the surface everywhere. When this encounters underground water,
it generates steam, which is tapped to produce clean, renewable electricity.

All of which explains why a group of engineers from Icelandic power company Enex have left the pure
air of Reykjavik behind to work in smoggy Xianyang. The ancient city might just have the geothermal
resources to become the Reykjavic of the East. In December, engineers from both countries completed
the first stage of a joint venture that could eventually provide geothermal-powered heating to millions of
people in Xianyang. If the project is successful, the city will eventually have the biggest such system in
the world.

72. What is the main idea of the selection?

a. Xianyang is a heavily polluted Chinese city.

b. Effective use of geothermal and hydropower energy.

c. Geothermal and hydro resources: better than coal power.

a. are a permanent threat to the lives of Icelanders.

b. prevent the burning of fuel like coal in the country.

c. produce steam that is harnessed to produce electricity.

d. cause underground vibrations that produce energy.

e. are the reason for the clean Iceland environment.

74. What may be an appropriate title for this selection?

a. The Coming Greening of Xianyang

b. Pollution away from Xianyang

c. Reinventing a Chinese City

d. A New Day for Xianyang

e. Stopping the Use of Coal
