They call New York “the Big Apple”. Maybe it isn’t exactly like an apple, but it is
certainly very big. There are too many people, that’s the problem. The streets are always full
of cars and trucks, and you can never find a place to park.
If you have enough money, you can take a taxi. New York cabs are yellow. They
look all the same. But the drivers are very different. Some were born and raised in New
York, but many are newcomers to the United States. A few drive slowly, but most go very
fast. Cab driving is a difficult job. It can be dangerous, too. Thieves often try to steal the
drivers’ money. Drivers sometimes get hurt.
If you don’t want to take a taxi, you can go by bus or you can take the subway. The

4
subway is quick, and it’s cheap, but parts of it are old and dirty. Lights don’t always work
and there are often fires on the track. On some subway lines, there are new, clean, silver
trains. But you can’t see the color of the old trains easily. There is too much dirt and too
much graffiti, inside and outside.


1/ what is the problem of New York?
A. It has too many apples C. It is too big
B. It looks like an apple D. It is too crowded
2/ what does a “cab” mean?
A. a truck B. a bus C. a taxi D. a subway
3/ Cab drivers in New York
A. can be dangerous C. look the same
B. can be attacked by thieves D. were all born in New York
4/ The word “track” can best be replaced by
A. roadway B. station C. light bulb D. train

B. are colorless D. often cause fires.

X. Read the following passage and then choose the correct answer A, B, C or D. (10 pts)
One of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century was a method of using
natural gas for cooking and heating. Large amounts of natural gas are found in the United States,
usually several feet below the surface of the earth. Natural gas is most often found in places where
petroleum, the oil from which gasoline is made, is found. Often the natural gas must be removed
before the oil itself can be reached.
For many years after natural gas was first discovered, it was thought to have no value.
Finally, however, people began to understand its use and to find ways of storing it and moving it
from place to place. Today natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking and
heating. It has also been used for electric generators and hybrid cars recently. In many ways
natural gas is one of our finest fuels. It can be used for cooking without making the room hot. It is
cheap and can be moved easily from one place to another through long pipelines, some of which
are hundreds of miles in length.
1. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. natural gas is useless
B. people once wasted natural gas
C. natural gas is moved in trucks
D. natural gas is found where there is no petroleum
2. This passage as a whole is about ________.
A. discovering natural gas B. finding petroleum
C. using natural gas and petroleum D. natural gas and its use
3. Which of the following is NOT true about natural gas?
A. It is not used for heating. B. It moves through pipes.
C. It is cheap. D. It can be stored.
4. According to the passage, the easiest way to move natural gas from one place to another is
________.
A. to liquidize it and move it through pipelines.
B. to liquidize it and move it by trucks.
C. through pipelines.
D. to store it in large tanks to move.

5. How many uses of natural gas are mentioned?
A. two B. three C. four D. five

II. Read the following passage and then choose the correct answer A, B, C or D.(1,0
pts)
One of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century was a method of
using natural gas for cooking and heating. Large amounts of natural gas are found in the
United States, usually several feet below the surface of the earth. Natural gas is most often
found in places where petroleum, the oil from which gasoline is made, is found. Often the
natural gas must be removed before the oil itself can be reached.
For many years after natural gas was first discovered, it was thought to have no
value. Finally, however, people began to understand its use and to find ways of storing it
and moving it from place to place. Today natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for
lighting, cooking and heating. It has also been used for electric generators and hybrid cars
recently. In many ways natural gas is one of our finest fuels. It can be used for cooking
without making the room hot. It is cheap and can be moved easily from one place to
another through long pipelines, some of which are hundreds of miles in length.

1. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
5

A. natural gas is useless
B. people once wasted natural gas
C. natural gas is moved in trucks
D. natural gas is found where there is no petroleum
2. This passage as a whole is about ________.
A. discovering natural gas B. finding petroleum
C. using natural gas and petroleum D. natural gas and its use

3. Which of the following is NOT true about natural gas?
A. It is not used for heating. B. It moves through pipes.
C. It is cheap. D. It can be stored.
4. According to the passage, the easiest way to move natural gas from one place to another
is ________.
A. to liquidize it and move it through pipelines.
B. to liquidize it and move it by trucks.
C. through pipelines.
D. to store it in large tanks to move.
5. How many uses of natural gas are mentioned?
