<b>V. READING COMPREHENSION</b> (0.5 pt)


<i><b>Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.</b></i>


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 thousand
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.

A. natural gas is useless B. people once wasted natural gas

A. to liquidize it and move it through pipelines

Camping is an activity in which people live temporarily in the outdoors. Campers participate in
fishing, hunting, swimming, plant studying, wildlife watching and natural photography. It provides physical
benefits when its involves hiking to, from and around the campsite, and many people believe that camping
makes youngsters feel more confident.


People throughout the world enjoy hiking to wildness campsites. This activity is called backpacking
because it involves carrying such essential camping gear as a tent, food, clothing, and sleeping bag called
backpack. Backpacking is the best suited for those who are in good physical condition as it may require
walking several miles.


The key to any enjoyable camping trip is planning. A decision on where to camp depends on

<b>SAVING ENERGY</b>


Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actual, the world’s energy
resources are limited. Nobody know exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them
economically and try finding out alternative sources of power. According for Professor Marvin Burnham of
the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start conserving coal, oil and gas before it is very late;


and nuclear power is the only alternative. However, many people do not approve of using nuclear power
because of it’s very dangerous. What would happen whether there were a serious nuclear accident?


Radioactivity causes cancer and may bad affect the future generations. The more effective thing is that we
should use natural resources as economical as possible.

<b>V. READING COMPREHENSION</b> (0.5 pt)


<i><b>Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.</b></i>


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 thousand
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.

A. natural gas is useless <b>B. people once wasted natural gas</b>

resources are limited. Nobody <b>know</b> exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also should use them
