D. READING (2.5 POINTS)
I. Read the following passage and circle the answer A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the following questions from 1 to 5.
Only a small portion of the earth's water supply is fresh water. With the rate that the human
race uses water, how come it never runs out? Fresh water never runs out because it is constantly being
renewed by the water cycle. In a water cycle water is always on the move as it changes from a liquid to

a gas and back to a liquid.
When water evaporates it leaves behind the materials it contained. The water vapor is not salt
water. And when the water falls back to earth it seeps into the ground and becomes groundwater.
Groundwater then seeps into spaces within the earth until it is blocked by a rock that is tightly packed
and has few spaces. Then the water starts to back up and fill spaces in the soil and rocks above. The
top of these water filled spaces are called water tables. If the water table reaches above the surface a
pond, lake or stream is formed. Ponds and lakes are still bodies of water. They get formed when water
fills up low lying places. Streams flow downhill and as they flow they join up with other streams and
eventually run into the ocean or other large bodies of water.
Fresh water can become polluted in many ways. Aside from the unfortunate dumping of trash
into the fresh water, it becomes polluted as the rain or snow picks up pollutants in the air as the
precipitation falls to earth. There are chemicals in the air that makes the rain turn into acid. Acid rain
harms both living things and property. Water also gets polluted when there is runoff water. This is
water that runs off the land and becomes in contact with the trash on the ground therefore polluting the
fresh water supply. Groundwater is a potential hazard to keeping water fresh. As groundwater soaks
down through the sol it can pick up chemicals such as pesticides that contaminate the fresh water.
There are also water supplies that get polluted by industries. For example, water that is used to produce
paper is slowly filled with fibers and chemicals.
And water is polluted in the household as you flush toilets, wash dishes, brush teeth, or take a
bath. Water becomes polluted with waste and is pumped to a plant to recycle. This helps recycle our
fresh water supply because it is so small and in great demand. Because only a small portion of the
Earth's water supply is fresh water, it is important to not only keep it fresh, but also to keep the water

B. Groundwater is always fresh.
C. The rain may pick up pollutants in the air on the way falling to Earth.

II. Fill in each blank with ONE suitable word to complete the passage below.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is warning young people all over the world that they
are also at risk from COVID-19. The WHO said young people are not exempt from catching the
coronavirus. Many young people (1) __________________ believe they will not catch the virus
because of their age. They think it is a disease that only older people catch. The WHO said the truth is
(2) ___________ young people are catching the coronavirus and becoming ill or dying from it. It
added that young people are also spreading the disease to their parents, grandparents and (3) ________
people. The White House also urged young adults to follow advice and to avoid gathering in large
groups to help prevent the spread of the virus.

The Director-General of the WHO said: "Today, I have a message for young people: You are
not invincible." He added: "This coronavirus could put you in hospital for weeks, or even kill you.
Even if you don't get sick, the choices you make about where you go could be the difference between
life and death for someone else." The WHO said: "A significant proportion of patients
(4)___________ in hospital for COVID-19 around the world are aged under 50." New York Governor
Andrew Cuomo said many young people are not (5) __________________ the state's social-distancing
rules. He told young people that: "This is a public health issue and you cannot be endangering other
peoples' health.

III. Read the following text carefully and then choose from the list A - G the best phrase given
below to fill each of the spaces. Each correct phrase may only be used once. Some of the
suggested answers do not fit at all. The exercise begins with an example (0).
MODERN ENGLISH
Imperceptibly, during the 18 th century, English loses the most noticeable remaining features of
structural difference (0)_______. By the end of that century, with but a few exceptions, the spelling,
punctuation, and grammar are very close to (0)________. If we take an essay by William Hazlett
(1775 – 1830) or a novel of Jane Austen (1775 – 1817), for example, we can read for pages
Page 4 of 6


(2)________. We would find the vocabulary somewhat unfamiliar in places, the idiom occasionally
unusual or old-fashioned, the style elegant or quaint, and we might feel that the language was in some
indefinable way characteristic of a previous age : but we do not need to consult a special edition or
historical dictionary at every turn (3)________ Jane Austen makes demands on our modern linguistic
intuitions which seem little different from those required by Catherine Cookson or PD James.
However, despite this apparent continuity, the language at the end of the 18th century is by no
means identical to what we find today. Many words, though spelt the same, had a different meaning.
(4)________, we would also notice several differences in pronunciation, especially in the way words
were stressed. And an uninformed modern intuition would achieve only a superficial reading of literary

texts of the period. In reading a novel of the 1990s, we can make an immediate linguistic response to
the social and stylistic nuances introduced into the text, (5)________ we recognize the differences
between formality and informality, or educated and uneducated; we can sense when someone is being
jocular, ironic, risqué, archaic or insincere. We can easily miss such nuances in the writing of the early
19 th century, especially in those works which take the manners of contemporary society as their
subject. That world is more linguistically removed from us than at first it may appear.
