READING: Read the following passages and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions: PASSAGE 1: The air above our head is becoming cleaner. A breath of fresh air has been running right round the planet for the past five years. The planet is apparently purging itself of pollution. Paul Novell of the University of Colorado, the co-author of a report on this phenomenon says. “ It seems as if the planet’s own cleansing service has suddenly got a new lease of life. Suddenly, there are a lot of changes going on up there.” Estimates of the death toll from urban smog have been steadily rising, so the new cleaner trend could have significant consequences for life expectancy in cities as well as for 3
4. the planet itself. The sudden and unexpected reversal decades of worsening pollution extends from the air in city streets to the remotest mid-Pacific Ocean and Antarctica. Among the pollutants which have begun to disappear from the atmosphere are carbon dioxide, from car exhausts and burning rain forests, and methane from the guts of cattle, paddy fields, and gas fields. Even carbon dioxide, the main gas behind global warming, has fallen slightly. They are two theories about why pollution is disappearing. First that there is less pollution to start with due to laws to cut down urban smog and acid rain starting to have a global impact. Second, that the planet may be becoming more efficient at cleaning up. The main planetary clean-up agent is a chemical called hydroxyl. It is present throughout the atmosphere in tiny quantities and removes most pollutants from the air by oxidizing them. The amount of hydroxyl in the air had fallen by a quarter in the 1980s. Now, it may be revising for two reasons: ironically, because the ozone hole has expanded, letting in more ultraviolet radiation into the lower atmosphere, where it manufactures hydroxyl. Then the stricter controls on vehicle exhausts in America and Europe may have cut global carbon monoxide emissions, thereby allowing more hydroxyl to clean up other pollutants. 1. Which word in the first paragraph means ridding? A. running B. becoming C. going on D. purging 2. The word “toll” in paragraph 2 means ___. A. damage B. loss C. count D. quantity 3. It is mentioned that life expectancy partly depends on ___. A. people having improvement in atmospheric conditions B. how much people know about atmospheric pollution C. when people have changed their lifestyle D. what people can get from university research 4. What are the pollutants disappearing from the atmosphere? A. Carbon monoxide and car exhausts. B. Dangerous kinds of smoke from burning rain forests. C. Methane from paddy fields and poisonous gases from gas fields. D. Carbon from car exhausts and burning rain forests and methane from paddy fields, gas fields etc. 5. According to the passage, what is the main cause of pollution reduction? A. A reduction of cattle and gas fields. B. A limitation of chemicals. C. A smaller number of cars. D. Less impact from burning forests. 6. The word “It” in paragraph 5 refers to ___. A. car exhaust B. acid rain C. a clear-up agent D. global carbon 7. The word “revising” in paragraph 5 means ___. A. reproducing B. repeating C. refreshing D. reappearing 8. Which of the following sentences is NOT correct? A. Ultraviolet radiation increases production of hydroxyl. B. There is a difficulty in destroying carbon dioxide by hydroxyl. C. The reduction in the ozone layer is beneficial to hydroxyl. D. Oxidization of pollutants is carried out by hydroxyl. 9. It can be inferred that the cleaning of the planet is ___. A. surprising B. confusing C. practical D. reasonable 10. What is the topic of the passage? A. The changes of the Earth’s climate. B. The oxygenation of the atmosphere. C. The decreasing pollution of the atmosphere. D. Hydroxyl’s influence on the atmosphere. PASSAGE 1 1D 2C 3A 4D 5B 6C 7D 8B 9A 10C 4
5. PASSAGE 2: Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available. Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys. As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars. Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three- wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today. 1. The following electrical vehicles are all mentioned in the passage EXCEPT A. vans B. trains C. planes D. trolleys 2. The author’s purpose in the passage is to A. criticize conventional vehicles B. support the invention of electric cars C. narrate a story about alternative energy vehicles D. describe the possibilities for transportation in the future 3. The passage would most likely be followed by details about A. automated freeways B. pollution restrictions in the future C. the neighborhood of the future D. electric shuttle buses 4. The word “compact” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to A. long-range B. inexpensive C. concentrated D. squared 5. In the second paragraph, the author implies that A. a dependable source of electric energy will eventually be developed. B. everyday life will stay much the same in the future. C. a single electric vehicle will eventually replace several modes of transportation D. electric vehicles are not practical for the future 6. According to the passage, public parking lots of the future will be A. more convenient than they are today B. equipped with charging devices C. much larger than they are today D. as common as today’s gas stations 7. The word “charging” in this passage refers to A. electricity B. credit cards C. aggression D. lightning 8. The word “foresee” in this passage could best be replaced with A. count on B. invent C. imagine D. rely on 9. The word “commuters” in paragraph 4 refers to A. daily travelers B. visitors C. cab drivers D. shoppers 10. The word “hybrid” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to A. combination B. hazardous C. futuristic D. automated 5
