V. READING COMPREHENSION (10pts)
Read the following passages and choose the correct answer to each question.
Passage 1
Although oil and gasoline remain important energy sources, it is natural gas that currently
supplies around 25 percent of America’s energy needs. A recent study shows that natural gas use
was roughly 22 trillion cubic feet (TCF) annually. Natural gas demand is increasing at
phenomenal rates because of its ability to create cleaner fuel for electrical power. Experts predict
that annual demand is likely to increase to almost 32 TCF in less than a decade. At a consumption
rate of 32 TCF per year, the United States would only have about a five-year supply of natural
gas. Known natural gas reserves in North America are quickly becoming exhausted. In fact, in the
past thirty years, known supplies have dwindled from almost 300 TCF to around 150 TCF.
It is no wonder that natural gas has become a controversial and critical topic of discussion

among politicians, business leaders, and consumers. It is apparent that the United States will need
to drastically increase imports of natural gas to relieve shortages. One way that economists
believe this can be done is by importing liquid natural gas. Experts predict that liquid natural gas
imports will increase by almost 500 percent in a few short years. Currently, the country imports
very little liquid natural gas. The process of transporting liquid natural gas is complicated and
expensive. This is the most obvious reason why America has been reluctant to choose liquid
natural gas over other energy sources. Converting natural gas into liquid natural gas involves
cooling natural gas as it is collected to -260°F. this transforms the gas into a liquid, which is then
injected into a specially designed vessel for transport. When the liquid natural gas reaches its
destination, the liquid is reheated into its original gaseous state and allowed to flow into a
pipeline. Even though new technology has considerably decreased transportation costs for liquid
natural gas, it is still often uneconomical. This is especially true for nations with other energy
sources.
One of the largest misconceptions about liquid natural gas is that it is an abundant source of
natural gas. While liquid natural gas imports continue to increase, the public demand for natural
gas increases at an even higher rate. Even though the United States has several facilities that can
process liquid natural gas, these facilities are consistently unable to obtain enough liquid natural
gas to operate at their fullest capacity. Even when liquid natural gas is obtainable, there is a fear
that low natural gas prices in the United States will make liquid natural gas uneconomical. Most
business leaders and politicians are reluctant to create new facilities to process liquid natural gas
because these facilities are expensive and risky. This limits the capacity to process liquid natural
gas even if it becomes more readily available.
The United States also faces competition from Asia in securing liquid natural gas. Competition
for liquid natural gas will most likely become even more ferocious as other populous countries
like Japan and China become more desperate for fuel sources. Some of the more daring
politicians and business leader believe that building new liquid natural gas facilities will help
companies and consumers take advantage of future increased liquid natural gas imports.
Currently, Canada is the largest liquid natural gas supplier for the United States. However, liquid
natural gas imports from Canada will decrease considerably in the next decade as Canadian
consumption increases and supplies of natural gas dwindle. Therefore, consumers and business

leaders should not rely on liquid natural gas to solve America’s energy needs and consumers
should continue to expect high prices as demand grows and supplies decline.
41. According to the passage, current known North American supplies of natural gas are ……….
A. sufficient to provide the United States wit natural gas for the next thirty years.
B. down approximately 50 percent rom thirty years ago.
C. decreasing at a rate of 25 percent per year.
D. extremely difficult to access.
42. The author of the passage would most likely agree with which of the following statements?
4


A. Liquid natural gas will never be a viable source of energy in the United States.
B. America’s energy needs will not be met by the use of liquid natural gas alone.
C. The populations of Japan and China are growing too quickly to be served by the liquid
natural gas.
D. Until another reliable energy source is discovered, liquid natural gas is the best solution to
the world’s energy problems.
43. One of the main ideas of the passage is that ……………..
A. energy sources are dwindling around the world.
B. natural gas supplies one-quarter of America’s energy needs.
C. liquid natural gas takes millions of years to form.
D. the known supply of liquid natural gas is limited.
44. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that America’s reluctant to choose liquid natural
gas over other energy sources will ………………..
A. not prevent America from importing more liquid natural gas from other countries.
B. induce Japan and China to build new liquid natural gas processing facilities.
C. most likely continue until the cost and problems associated with liquid natural gas can be
reduced.
D. lead to a decrease in the current demand for liquid natural gas in other countries, such as
Canada.

45. According to the passage, which of the following countries supplies the most liquid natural
gas to The United States?
A. Japan
B. China
C. Canada

Passage 2
Television, like language, can be a cultural challenge for better or worse, and this is what it is
in many of its activities, whether voluntarily or, on occasion, involuntarily. Although it may
sometimes be soothing, television is often provocative in the sense that it gives information and
arouses interest. That being said, the new means of broadcasting and communicating throughout
the world increases the complexity of television even further.

5

An important question is what television is there to do and to say. In actual fact, however, the
issue does not seem to have been put in this way by all governments and their officials, nor by
private television companies.
Since the primary aim is to get an audience (and who would want to make television
programs nobody looked at?), programs are becoming more and more standardized. The cultural
challenge represented by television must not turn into a challenge to culture. At all events,
television carries messages which influence, and will increasingly influence, trends in societies
one way or another. Either television will contribute to enriching our culture or to enabling some
of these cultures to dominate others.
Undoubtedly there are outstanding events, such as broadcasts of major occasions, but the outof-the-ordinary nature of a cultural message soon becomes part of lie, part of the every air
breathed by those to whom the messages are sent. Living in a world of painting, literature and
music is a very different thing from the stardom of a composer, writer or performer. While the
heads of television channels sometimes display boldness, they do not seem to find it necessary to
do so when it comes to music (with the occasional exception), because they themselves are not
convinced of the emotional impact of music on television. And yet, in spite of all obstacles, music
is a challenge through its daily presence. This represents a victory for whom? Pure music – that is
to say, music soberly presented through the playing of the performers – goes down very well on
the small screen. Its presence on television makes it part of everyday life.
Let us be optimistic and hope that those in charge of television of whatever kind are aware of
the importance of their function over and above audience surveys and ratings and that they will
call primarily on the talents of cultural people and give them priority over the salesman.
51. What is the effect of television according to the author?
A. it causes intellectual laziness.
B. it makes the viewers think.
C. it is harmful to society.
D. it confuses the viewers.
52. Television’s function is to make people ………………..
A. confused of what is happening

B. more interested in what is happening
C. more culturally oriented
D. more educated in society
53. In the author’s opinion, what is wrong with the attitude of some governments to television?
A. they do not think it is important.
B. they do not pay enough attention to its function.
C. they do not use it effectively.
D. they have too much control over it.
54. The influence that television may have it possibly ………………….
A. ignored by almost everybody.
B. greatly considered by governments.
C. a substantial benefit for private companies.
D. an enrichment and also a challenge to cultures.
55. The author thinks that television programs are in danger of ……………..
A. trying to please too many people.
B. preventing the development of society.
C. losing their effect on our culture
D. declining in popularity.
56. What are the heads of television not convinced of its impact?

is used to distinguish between types of the same food. Fresh fruit is a natural food, but can fruit,
with sugar and other additives, are not. The most precise term of all and the narrowest
classification within health foods is organic food, used to describe foods that have grown on a
particular kind of farm. Fruits and vegetables that are grown in gardens treated only in organic
fertilizers, that are not sprayed with poisonous insecticides, and that are not refine after harvest,
are organic foods.
At choosing the type of food you eat, then, you have basic two choices : inorganic, processed
foods, or organic, unprocessed foods. A wise decision should include investigation of the
allegations that processed foods contain chemicals, some of them are proven toxic, and that
vitamin content is greatly reduced in processed foods.
