V. READING COMPREHENSION

Re
ad the following passages and choose the best option
(A, B, C or D) to answer the question.

FIRST PASSAGE

Even with his diverse experience as an elected official at the
state level, Andrew Johnson was the first president of the
United States ever to be impeached, primarily because of his
violent temper and unyielding stubbornness. His career
started in 1828 with his collection to the city council of

Greenville, Tennessee, and after two years as an alderman, he
took office as mayor. His advancements followed in rapid
succession when he was elected to the Tennessee state
senate, then as the state governor, and later to the US House
of Representatives for five consecutive terms.

In 1864, Johnson ran for the office of vice-president on the
Lincoln-Johnson ticket and was inaugurated in 1865. After
Lincoln’s assassination six weeks into his term, Johnson found
himself president at a time when southern leaders were
concerned about their forced alliance with the northern states
and feared retaliation for their support of the secession.
Instead, however, with the diplomatic skill he had learned
from Lincoln, Johnson offered full pardon to almost all
Confederates on the condition that they take an oath of
allegiance. He further reorganised the former Confederate
states and set up legislative elections.

Congressional opposition to his peace-making policies
resulted in gridlock between the House and Johnson, and the
stalemate grew into an open conflict on the issue of the
emancipation of slaves. While Johnson held the view that
newly freed slaves lacked understanding and knowledge of
civil liberties to vote intelligently, Congress overrode
Johnson’s veto of the Civil Rights Bill, which awarded them
citizenship and ratified the Fourteenth Amendment. In the
years that followed, Congress passed bills depriving the
president of the power to pa
rdon political criminals, stripping
away his status of commander-in-chief, and taking away

Johnson’s right to dismiss civil and executive officers from
their duties. Johnson vetoed each bill, and each veto was
overridden. When Johnson dismissed the secretary of war,
Edwin Stanton, Stanton refused to step down and was
supported by the House of Representatives, which voted to
impeach Johnson. At the trial, the Senate came one vote short
of the two-thirds majority necessary to remove him from
office. After Johnson’s term expired, he returned to his home
state, but in 1875 he was elected senator and went back to
Washington to take his seat.

SECOND PASSAGE

Very few people, groups, or governments oppose
globalisation in its entirety. Instead, critics of globalisation
believe aspects of the way globalisation operates should be
changed. The debate over globalisation is about what the
best rules are for governing the global economy so that its
advantages can grow while its problems can be solved.
Practice Test 1

2014 | Page 3
On one side of this debate are those who stress the
benefits of removing barriers to international trade and
investment, allowing capital to be allocated more efficiently
and giving consumers greater freedom of choice.

With free-market globalisation, investment funds can
move unimpeded from the rich countries to the developing
countries. Consumers can benefit from cheaper products
because reduced taxes make goods produced at low cost
from faraway places cheaper to buy. Producers of goods gain
by selling to a wider market. More competition keens
sellers
on their toes and allows ideas and new technology to spread
and benefit others.

On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-
liberal policies as producing greater poverty, inequality, social
conflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage.
They say that the most developed nations – the United States,
Germany, and Japan – succeeded not because of free trade
but because of protectionism and subsidies. They argue that
the more recently successful economies of South Korea,
Taiwan, and China all had strong state-led development
strategies that did not follow neo-liberalism. These critics think
that government encouragement of “infant industries” – that
is, industries that are just beginning to develop – enables a
country to become internationally competitive.

Furthermore, those who criticise the Washington
Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of money
from speculative investors must be limited to prevent bubbles.
These bubbles are characterised by the rapid inflow of foreign
funds that bid up domestic stock markets and property
values. When the economy cannot sustain such expectations,
the bubbles burst as investors panic and pull their money out
of the country.

Protests by what is called the anti-globalisation movement
are seldom directed against globalisation itself but rather
against abuses that harm the rights of workers and the
environment. The question raised by nongovernmental
organisations and protesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is
whether globalisation will result in a rise of living standards or
a race to the bottom as competition takes the form of
lowering living standards and un
dermining environmental
regulations.

One of the key problems of the 21
st
century will be
determining to what extent markets should be regulated to
promote fair competition, honest dealing, and fair distribution
of public goods on a global scale.

51
It is stated in the passage that _____.

A
critics of globalisation say that the successful economies
are all in Asia
B
the protests of globalisation are directed against
globalisation itself
C supporters of globalisation stress the benefits of
removing trade barriers
D the United States, Germany, and Japan succeeded in
helping infant

52
Supporters of free-market globalisation point out that ___.
A
investment will be allocated only to rich countries
B
taxes that are paid on goods will be increased
C
there will be less competition among producers
D
consumers can benefit from cheaper products
53
The word “allocated” in the passage mostly means _____.
A distributed B solved C removed D offered
54
The phrase “keens sellers on their toes” in the passage
mostly means _____.
A
prevents sellers from selling new products
B

forces sellers to go bare-footed
C
makes sellers responsive to any changes
D
allows sellers to stand on their own feet
55
According to critics of globalisation, several developed
countries have become rich because of _____.
A
their help to developing countries
B
their neo-liberal policies
C
their protectionism and subsidies
D
their prevention of bubbles

SECOND PASSAGE

Greenhouse gases arise from a wide range of sources and
their increasing concentration is largely related to the
compound effects of increased population, improved living
standards and changes in lifestyle. From a current base of 5
billion, the United Nations predicts that the global population
may stabilise in the twenty-first century between 8 and 14
billion, with more than 90 per cent of the (71) _____ increase
taking place in the world’s developing nations. The (7
2) _____
activities to support that growth, particularly to produce the
required energy and food, will cause further increases in
greenhouse gas emissions. The challenge, therefore, is to
attain a (7
3) _____ balance between population, economic
growth and the environment.

The major greenhouse gas emissions from human
activities are carbon dioxide (CO
2
), methane and nitrous
oxide. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are the only major (7
4)
_____ to the greenhouse effect that does not occur naturally,
coming from such sources as refrigeration, plastics and
manufacture. Coal’s total contribution to greenhouse gas
emissions is thought to be about 18 per cent, with about half
of this coming from (7
5) _____ generation.

The worldwide coal industry allocates extensive resources
to researching and developing new technologies and ways of
capturing greenhouse gases. (76) _____________ are likely to be
improved dramatically, and hence CO

through combustion and gasification techniques which are
now at (77)
_____ and demonstration stages.

Clean coal is another avenue for improving fuel
conversion efficiency. Investigations are under (7

The simpler lives of our predecessors meant they were

Skiing is one of the most popular sports in the world.
According to recent estimation, about one hundred
millions of people ski regularly or occasionally.

Sliding across the snow on skis is also one of the most
ancient methods of transport known to the man. It has
demonstrated that men were already traveling across the
snow by means of primitive skis before the invention of the
wheel. In the Asiatic region of Altai and in Scandinavia, for
example, the remains of skis have been found which dated
back to 4,000 BC. Further evidence is supplied by ancient
cave paintings which depict people skiing, and a Norway
saga which tells the story of an invasion of its territory
8,000 years ago by a tribe of skiers who came from the
north.

Nowadays, skiing, apart from a sport, has become a big
industry and a notable feature of leisure culture. Ski resorts
and all the activity that they generate is the main source of
wealth in many mountain regions, which were previously
remote and accessible. And far from its once elitist image,
skiing is now enjoyed by an increasingly broader spectra of
society.
