Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word or phrase for each of the blanks.
A long time ago, when ancient Rome was still an empire, people of that time used similar weights and
measures. The standards for these weights and measures were established by the Romans, who kept these
standards in a temple in Rome. All standards for measuring weight or distance were the same, whether in
Spain or in Syria. But then the Roman Empire fell, and these standards disappeared. Today, standards vary
from place to place throughout the world. Tourists who drive from the United States in Canada, for example,
are surprised when they buy gasoline for their cars. A gallon of gas costs more than they are accustomed to
paying. They complain that prices are much higher in Canada than in the United States. Then they discover
that they can drive farther on a Canadian gallon than on a United States gallon. Is it a different kind of gas?
No, it is a different kind of gallon. Canada uses the British, or imperial, gallon that is about one-fifth larger
than the United States gallon. Four quarts equal a gallon and two pints equal a quart in both countries. But
Canada’s quarts and pints are larger than quarts and pints in the United States. The imperial gallon equals
277.42 cubic inches while the gallon in the United States is equal to 231 cubic inches. Measured in ounces,
Canada’s large gallon holds 160 fluid ounces, while the smaller United States gallon holds no more than 128
fluid ounces. From these figures, it is easy to see why Americans can drive farther on the Canadian gallon
than on the American gallon. Someday, countries may follow the example of the ancient Romans and make
weights and measures the same for every nation.

A. gasoline

B. gallon

C. tourist

D. driver

Question 27: A gallon of gas in Canada costs more________.

A. than Americans are used to paying

B. than the ancient Romans charged

C. than the imperial British like

D. than American tourists afford

Question 28: Which statement does the article lead you to believe?
A. Americans should not travel so much.
B. No one in Rome ever went to a temple.
C. It would be good to use the same measures everywhere.
D. Canada should reduce their price of gasoline.
Question 29: Why are American tourists surprised?

correct answer to each of the questions.
The sea has always interested people. From it they can get food, minerals, and treasures. For
thousands of years, they sailed on the sea. But they could not go far beneath its surface. People want to

explore deep into the sea. However, they are not fishes. Because people must breathe air, they cannot stay
under the water’s surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, men and women face even more
dangers and problems. A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or
a special mixture of gases. Divers can wear diving suits and have air pumped to them from above. They can
carry tanks of air on their back and breathe through a hose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as
