Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
Under certain circumstances, the human body must cope with gases at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure. For
example, gas pressures increase rapidly during a dive made with scuba gear because the breathing equipment allows
divers to stay underwater longer and dive deeper. The pressure exerted on the human body increases by 1 atmosphere for
every 10 metres of depth in seawater, so that at 30 metres in seawater a diver is exposed to a pressure of about 4
atmospheres. The pressure of the gases being breathed must equal the external pressure applied to the body; otherwise
breathing is very difficult. Therefore all of the gases in the air breathed by a scuba diver at 40 metre are present at five
times their usual pressure. Nitrogen, which composes 80 percent of the air we breathe, usually causes a balmy feeling of
well-being at this pressure. At a depth of 5 atmospheres, nitrogen causes symptoms resembling alcohol intoxication,

known as nitrogen narcosis. Nitrogen narcosis apparently results from a direct effect on the brain of the large amounts of
nitrogen dissolved in the blood. Deep dives are less dangerous if helium is substituted for nitrogen, because under these
pressures helium does not exert a similar narcotic effect.
As a scuba diver descends, the pressure of nitrogen in the lungs increases. Nitrogen then diffuses from the lungs to the
blood, and from the blood to body tissues. The reverse occurs when the diver surfaces; the nitrogen pressure in the lungs
falls and the nitrogen diffuses from the tissues into the blood, and from the blood into the lungs. If the return to the
surface is too rapid, nitrogen in the tissues and blood cannot diffuse out rapidly enough and nitrogen bubbles are formed.
They can cause severe pains, particularly around the joints.
Another complication may result if the breath is held during ascent. During ascent from a depth of 10 metres, the
volume of air in the lungs will double because the air pressure at the surface is only half of what it was at 10 metres. This
change in volume may cause the lungs to distend and even rupture. This condition is called air embolism. To avoid this
event, a diver must ascend slowly, never at a rate exceeding the rise of the exhaled air bubbles, and must exhale during
ascent.
Question 24: It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following presents the greatest danger to a diver?
A. Nitrogen diffusion
B. Pressurized helium
C. An air embolism
D. Nitrogen bubbles
Question 25: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How to prepare for a deep dive
B. The equipment divers use
C. The symptoms of nitrogen bubbles in the bloodstream D. The effects of pressure on gases in the human body
Question 26: What happens to nitrogen in body tissues if a diver ascends too quickly?
A. It forms bubbles.
B. It has a narcotic effect.
C. It is reabsorbed by the lungs.
D. It goes directly to the brain.
Question 27: The word "They" in bold in paragraph 2 refers to........
A. bubbles
B. tissues

C. joints
D. pains
Question 28: The word "rupture" in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to........

Question 29: The word "exert" in bold in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to.......
A. permit
B. cause
C. change
D. need
Question 30: What should a diver do when ascending?
A. Rise slowly

D. Breathe helium

to each of the questions.

There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently linked to one another are
earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation when they hit. However, tsunamis are
the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them.
The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is the outer layer of the Earth. It
is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates. There are a few enormous plates and many
smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid. As a result, the plates are in constant - yet slow
- motion. The plates may move away from or towards other plates. In some cases, they collide violently with the plates
adjoining them. The movement of the plates causes tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up.

When it is released, an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only scientific instruments can
perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they cause little harm or damage. More
powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to collapse. They may additionally
injure and skill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change it appearance.
Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's oceans. Underwater
earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water in the ocean. When this occurs, a
tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all directions from the place where the
earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousnads of kilometres. As it approaches land,
the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This causes the tsunamis to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami
arrives. A large tsunami - one more than ten metres in height - can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land,
destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers of people.
Question 31: What is the passage mainly about?
A. What kind of damage natural disasters can cause.
B. How earthquakes and tsunamis occur.
C. When earthquakes are the most likely to happen.
D. Why tsunamis are deadlier than earthquakes.
Question 32: The word "adjoining" in bold in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to.......
A. residing
B. bordering
C. approaching
D. appearing
Question 33: Which of the following is true regarding the crust?
A. It is the smallest of the Earth's three layers.
B. There many separate pieces that make it up.
C. The mantle beneath it keeps it from moving too much.
D. It is thicker on land than it is under the water.
Question 34: Which of the following statements does paragraph 1 support?
A. The most severe type of natural disaster is an earthquake.
B. Earthquakes frequently take place after tsunamis do.

C. A tsunami happens in tandem with an earthquake.
D. Earthquakes cause more destruction than tsunamis.
Question 35: The word "it" in bold in paragraph 2 refers to.........
A. The Earth
B. The crust
C. The core
D. The mantle
Question 36: The word "perceive" in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to.......
A. detect
B. locate
C. prevent
D. comprehend
Question 37: Based on the passage, what is probably true about tsunamis?
A. They kill more people each year than earthquakes.
B. They can be deadly to people standing near shore.
C. They cannot damage ships sailing on the ocean.
D. They are able to move as fast as the speed of sound.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently linked to one another are
earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation when they hit. However, tsunamis are
the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them.
The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is the outer layer of the Earth. It
is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates. There are a few enormous plates and many
smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid. As a result, the plates are in constant - yet slow
- motion. The plates may move away from or towards other plates. In some cases, they collide violently with the plates
adjoining them. The movement of the plates causes tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up.
When it is released, an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only scientific instruments can
perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they cause little harm or damage. More
10


powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to collapse. They may additionally
injure and skill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change it appearance.
Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's oceans. Underwater
earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water in the ocean. When this occurs, a
tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all directions from the place where the
earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousnads of kilometres. As it approaches land,
the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This causes the tsunamis to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami

arrives. A large tsunami - one more than ten metres in height - can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land,
destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers of people.
Question 32: Which of the following statements does paragraph 1 support?
A. The most severe type of natural disaster is an earthquake.
B. A tsunami happens in tandem with an earthquake.
C. Earthquakes frequently take place after tsunamis do.
D. Earthquakes cause more destruction than tsunamis.
Question 33: The word "it" in bold in paragraph 2 refers to.........
A. The crust
B. The core
C. The mantle
D. The Earth
Question 34: The word "perceive" in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to.......
A. comprehend
B. detect
C. locate
D. prevent
Question 35: Which of the following is true regarding the crust?
A. It is the smallest of the Earth's three layers.
B. There many separate pieces that make it up.
C. The mantle beneath it keeps it from moving too much.
D. It is thicker on land than it is under the water.
Question 36: Based on the passage, what is probably true about tsunamis?
A. They cannot damage ships sailing on the ocean.
B. They can be deadly to people standing near shore.
C. They are able to move as fast as the speed of sound.
D. They kill more people each year than earthquakes.
Question 37: The word "adjoining" in bold in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to.......
A. approaching
B. appearing

C. bordering
D. residing
Question 38: What is the passage mainly about?
A. Why tsunamis are deadlier than earthquakes.
B. What kind of damage natural disasters can cause.
C. How earthquakes and tsunamis occur.
D. When earthquakes are the most likely to happen.
Question 39: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 3 about earthquakes?
A. How often powerful ones take place
B. What kind of damage they can cause
C. How severe the majority of them are
D. How many people they typically kill
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
Under certain circumstances, the human body must cope with gases at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure. For
example, gas pressures increase rapidly during a dive made with scuba gear because the breathing equipment allows
divers to stay underwater longer and dive deeper. The pressure exerted on the human body increases by 1 atmosphere for
every 10 metres of depth in seawater, so that at 30 metres in seawater a diver is exposed to a pressure of about 4
atmospheres. The pressure of the gases being breathed must equal the external pressure applied to the body; otherwise
breathing is very difficult. Therefore all of the gases in the air breathed by a scuba diver at 40 metre are present at five
times their usual pressure. Nitrogen, which composes 80 percent of the air we breathe, usually causes a balmy feeling of
well-being at this pressure. At a depth of 5 atmospheres, nitrogen causes symptoms resembling alcohol intoxication,
known as nitrogen narcosis. Nitrogen narcosis apparently results from a direct effect on the brain of the large amounts of
nitrogen dissolved in the blood. Deep dives are less dangerous if helium is substituted for nitrogen, because under these
pressures helium does not exert a similar narcotic effect.
As a scuba diver descends, the pressure of nitrogen in the lungs increases. Nitrogen then diffuses from the lungs to the
blood, and from the blood to body tissues. The reverse occurs when the diver surfaces; the nitrogen pressure in the lungs
falls and the nitrogen diffuses from the tissues into the blood, and from the blood into the lungs. If the return to the
surface is too rapid, nitrogen in the tissues and blood cannot diffuse out rapidly enough and nitrogen bubbles are formed.
They can cause severe pains, particularly around the joints.

Another complication may result if the breath is held during ascent. During ascent from a depth of 10 metres, the
volume of air in the lungs will double because the air pressure at the surface is only half of what it was at 10 metres. This
change in volume may cause the lungs to distend and even rupture. This condition is called air embolism. To avoid this
event, a diver must ascend slowly, never at a rate exceeding the rise of the exhaled air bubbles, and must exhale during
ascent.

Question 40: The word "rupture" in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to........
A. burst
B. shrink
C. stop
D. hurt
Question 41: It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following presents the greatest danger to a diver?
A. Nitrogen bubbles
B. An air embolism
C. Nitrogen diffusion

A. Relax completely
B. Breathe faster
C. Breathe helium
D. Rise slowly
Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The effects of pressure on gases in the human body
B. How to prepare for a deep dive
C. The equipment divers use
D. The symptoms of nitrogen bubbles in the bloodstream
Question 44: The word "exert" in bold in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to.......
A. permit

B. cause
C. change
D. need
Question 45: The word "They" in bold in paragraph 2 refers to........
A. joints
B. pains
C. bubbles
D. tissues
Question 46: What happens to nitrogen in body tissues if a diver ascends too quickly?
A. It forms bubbles.
B. It is reabsorbed by the lungs.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
Under certain circumstances, the human body must cope with gases at greater-than-normal atmospheric pressure. For
example, gas pressures increase rapidly during a dive made with scuba gear because the breathing equipment allows
divers to stay underwater longer and dive deeper. The pressure exerted on the human body increases by 1 atmosphere for
every 10 metres of depth in seawater, so that at 30 metres in seawater a diver is exposed to a pressure of about 4
atmospheres. The pressure of the gases being breathed must equal the external pressure applied to the body; otherwise
breathing is very difficult. Therefore all of the gases in the air breathed by a scuba diver at 40 metre are present at five
times their usual pressure. Nitrogen, which composes 80 percent of the air we breathe, usually causes a balmy feeling of
well-being at this pressure. At a depth of 5 atmospheres, nitrogen causes symptoms resembling alcohol intoxication,
known as nitrogen narcosis. Nitrogen narcosis apparently results from a direct effect on the brain of the large amounts of
nitrogen dissolved in the blood. Deep dives are less dangerous if helium is substituted for nitrogen, because under these
pressures helium does not exert a similar narcotic effect.
As a scuba diver descends, the pressure of nitrogen in the lungs increases. Nitrogen then diffuses from the lungs to the
blood, and from the blood to body tissues. The reverse occurs when the diver surfaces; the nitrogen pressure in the lungs
falls and the nitrogen diffuses from the tissues into the blood, and from the blood into the lungs. If the return to the
surface is too rapid, nitrogen in the tissues and blood cannot diffuse out rapidly enough and nitrogen bubbles are formed.
They can cause severe pains, particularly around the joints.
Another complication may result if the breath is held during ascent. During ascent from a depth of 10 metres, the
volume of air in the lungs will double because the air pressure at the surface is only half of what it was at 10 metres. This
change in volume may cause the lungs to distend and even rupture. This condition is called air embolism. To avoid this
event, a diver must ascend slowly, never at a rate exceeding the rise of the exhaled air bubbles, and must exhale during
ascent.
Question 28: It can be inferred from the passage that which of the following presents the greatest danger to a diver?
A. Pressurized helium
B. Nitrogen diffusion

C. Nitrogen bubbles
D. An air embolism
Question 29: What should a diver do when ascending?
A. Breathe helium
B. Relax completely
C. Breathe faster
D. Rise slowly
Question 30: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How to prepare for a deep dive
B. The effects of pressure on gases in the human body
C. The equipment divers use
D. The symptoms of nitrogen bubbles in the bloodstream
Question 31: The word "exert" in bold in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to.......
A. permit
B. change
C. need
D. cause
18


Question 32: What happens to nitrogen in body tissues if a diver ascends too quickly?
A. It has a narcotic effect. B. It is reabsorbed by the lungs.
C. It goes directly to the brain.
D. It forms bubbles.
Question 33: The word "rupture" in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to........

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently linked to one another are
earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation when they hit. However, tsunamis are
the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them.
The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is the outer layer of the Earth. It
is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates. There are a few enormous plates and many
smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid. As a result, the plates are in constant - yet slow
- motion. The plates may move away from or towards other plates. In some cases, they collide violently with the plates
adjoining them. The movement of the plates causes tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up.
When it is released, an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only scientific instruments can
perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they cause little harm or damage. More

powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to collapse. They may additionally
injure and skill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change it appearance.
Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's oceans. Underwater
earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water in the ocean. When this occurs, a
tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all directions from the place where the
earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousnads of kilometres. As it approaches land,
the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This causes the tsunamis to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami
arrives. A large tsunami - one more than ten metres in height - can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land,
destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers of people.
Question 37: Which of the following is true regarding the crust?
A. There many separate pieces that make it up.
B. The mantle beneath it keeps it from moving too much.
C. It is thicker on land than it is under the water.
D. It is the smallest of the Earth's three layers.
Question 38: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 3 about earthquakes?
A. How often powerful ones take place
B. What kind of damage they can cause
C. How many people they typically kill
D. How severe the majority of them are
Question 39: The word "it" in bold in paragraph 2 refers to.........
A. The core
B. The crust
C. The mantle
D. The Earth
Question 40: The word "adjoining" in bold in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to.......
A. approaching
B. appearing
C. bordering
D. residing
Question 41: The word "perceive" in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to.......

A. prevent
B. comprehend
C. locate
D. detect
Question 42: Based on the passage, what is probably true about tsunamis?
A. They are able to move as fast as the speed of sound.
B. They can be deadly to people standing near shore.
C. They cannot damage ships sailing on the ocean.
D. They kill more people each year than earthquakes.
Question 43: Which of the following statements does paragraph 1 support?
A. A tsunami happens in tandem with an earthquake.
B. The most severe type of natural disaster is an earthquake.
C. Earthquakes frequently take place after tsunamis do.
D. Earthquakes cause more destruction than tsunamis.
Question 44: What is the passage mainly about?

B. Why tsunamis are deadlier than earthquakes.
C. What kind of damage natural disasters can cause.
D. How earthquakes and tsunamis occur.
