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 don’t go to work , on wages that you don’t get when you don’t 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 don’t 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
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
D. more money
5. This text is about
A. taxes which are not paid by smokers
B. diseases that smokers get

C. how much smoking costs the UK
D. how much the UK gets if everyone stopped smoking

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 don’t 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 isn’t . 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 .
