V. READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question. PASSAGE 1 WARNING ON GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming could cause drought and possibly famine in China, the source of much of Hong Kong’s food, by
2050, a new report predicts. Hong Kong could also be at risk from flooding as sea level rose. The report recommends
building sea-walls around low-lying areas such as the new port and airport reclamations. Published by the World
Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the report, which includes work by members of the Chinese Academy of
Meteorological Sciences, uses the most recent projections on climate change to point to a gloomy outlook for China.
By 2050 about 30 to 40 percent of the country will experience changes in the type of vegetation it supports, with
tropical and subtropical forest conditions shifting northward and hot desert conditions rising in the west where
currently the desert is temperate. Crop - growing areas will expand but any benefit is expected to be negated by
increased evaporation of moisture, making it too dry to grow crops such as rice. The growing reason also is expected
to alter, becoming shorter in southern and central China, the mainland’s breadbasket. The rapid changes make it
unlikely that plants could adapt.
“China will produce smaller crops. In the central and northern areas, and the southern part, there will be decreased
production because of water limitations,” Dr. Rik Leemans, one of the author of the report, said during a brief visit to
the territory yesterday. Famine could result because of the demands of feeding the population - particularly if it
grows - and the diminished productivity of the land. “It looks very difficult for the world as a whole,” he said.
Global warming is caused by the burning of large amounts of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, which release
gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. World temperatures already have increased this century by about 0.6 degrees
Celsius and are projected to rise by between 1.6 degrees and 3.8 degrees by 2100.
Dr. Leemans said China’s reliance on coal - fired power for its industrial growth did not bode well for the world
climate. “I think the political and economic powers in China are much greater than the environmental powers, and
greenhouse gas emissions could accelerate,” Dr. Leemans said. “China is not taking the problem seriously yet,
although it is trying to incorporate this kind of research to see what is going to happen.”
The climate change report, which will be released tomorrow, focuses on China but Mr. David Melville of WWF -
Hong Kong said some of the depressing scenarios could apply to the territory. Food supplies, for instance, could be
affected by lower crop yields. “Maybe we could afford to import food from elsewhere but you have to keep in mind
that the type of changes experienced in southern China will take place elsewhere as well,” he said. Sea levels could
rise as glaciers melted and the higher temperatures expanded the size of the oceans, threatening much of developed
Hong Kong which is built on reclaimed land. Current projections are that sea levels worldwide will rise by 15 to 90
centimeters by 2100, depending on whether action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 4
“Hong Kong has substantial areas built on reclaimed land and sea level rises could impact on that, not only on
Chek Lap Kok but the West Kowloon Reclamation and the Central and Western Reclamation - the whole lot,” Mr.
Melville said, adding that sea - walls would be needed. Depleted fresh water supplies would be another problem
because increased evaporation would reduce levels. Mr. Melville said the general outlook could be helped if Hong
Kong used water less wastefully and encouraged energy efficiency to reduce fuel - burning. He also called on the
West to help China improve its efficiency.

A. Besides the earth’s oceans, glacier ice is the largest source of water on earth. A glacier is a massive stream or
sheet of ice that moves underneath itself under the influence of gravity. Some glaciers travel down mountains or
valleys, while others spread across a large expanse of land. Heavily glaciated regions such as Greenland and
Antarctica are called continental glaciers. These two ice sheets encompass more than 95% of the earth’s glacial
ice. The Greenland ice sheet is almost 10,000 feet thick in some areas, and the weight of this glacier is so heavy that
much of the region has been depressed below sea level. Smaller glaciers that occur at higher elevations are
called alpine or valley glaciers. Another way of classifying glaciers is in terms of their internal temperature. In 5
temperate glaciers, the ice within the glacier is near its melting point. Polar glaciers, in contrast, always
maintain temperatures far below melting.
B. The majority of the earth’s glaciers are located near the poles, though glaciers exist on all continents, including
Africa and Oceania. The reason glaciers are generally formed in high alpine regions is that they require cold
temperature throughout the year, in these areas where there is little opportunity for summer ablation (loss of
mass), snow changes to compacted firm and then crystallized ice. During periods in which melting and evaporation
exceed the amount of snowfall, glaciers will retreat rather than progress. While glaciers rely heavily on snowfall,
other climatic conditions including freezing rain, avalanches and wind, contribute to their growth. One year of below
average precipitation can stunt the growth of a glacier tremendously. With the rare 7 exception of surging glaciers, a
common glacier flows about 10 inches per day in the summer and 5 inches per day in the winter. The fastest glacial
surge on record occurred in 1953, when the Kutiah Glacier in Pakistan grew more than 12 kilometers in three months.
C. The weight and pressure of ice accumulation causes glacier movement. Glaciers move out from under themselves,
via plastic deformation and basal slippage. First, the internal flow of ice crystals begins to spread outward and
downward from the thickened snow pack also known as the zone of accumulation. Next, the ice along the ground
surface begins to slip in the same direction. Seasonal thawing at the base of the glacier helps to facilitate this
slippage. The middle of a glacier moves faster than the sides and bottom because there is no rock to cause friction.
The upper part of a glacier rides on the ice below. As a glacier moves it carves out a U-shaped valley to a riverbed,
but with much steeper walls and flatter bottom.
D. Besides the extraordinary rivers of ice, glacial erosion creates other unique physical features in the landscape
such as horns, fjords, hanging valleys, and cirques. Most of these landforms do not become visible until
after glaciers have receded. Many are created by moraines, which occur at the sides and front of a glacier.
Moraines are formed when material is picked up along the way and deposited in a new location. When many alpine
glaciers occur on the same mountain, these moraines can create a horn. The matter horn, in the Swiss Alps is one of
the most famous horns. Fjords, which are very common in Norway, are coastal valleys that fill with ocean water
during a glacial retreat. Hanging valleys occur when two or more glacial valleys intersect at varying elevations. It
is common for waterfalls to connect the higher and lower hanging valleys, such as in Yosemite National
Park. A cirque is a large bowl-shaped valley that forms at the front of a glacier. Cirques often have a lip on their
down slope that is deep enough to hold small lakes when the ice melts away.
E.Glacier movement and shape shifting typically occur over hundreds of years. While presently about 10% of the
earth land is covered with glaciers, it is believed that during the last Ice Age glaciers covered approximately 32%
of the earth’s surface. In the past century, most glaciers have been retreating rather flowing forward. It is
unknown whether this glacial activity is due to human impact or natural causes, but by studying glacier
movement, and comparing climate and agricultural profiles over hundreds of years, glaciologists can begin to
understand environmental issues such as global warming.

Question 21→30. Give the correct form of the words given - A Musical Genius
For many people Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) is the most influential figure in the history of western classical
music. His (21. ORDINARY)___ talent was already clearly evident as a young man, (22. MERCY)___ surviving a
somewhat unconventional (23. BRING)___ during which his eccentric father would often force him to take music
lessons in the middle of the night.
The young Beethoven's ability won him the admiration of the leading
contemporary musical figures. Throughout the 1790s he worked hard to secure the interest of wealthy patrons. Such
patronage (24. ABLE)___ him to concentrate on becoming a successful composer. Whatever his awe-inspiring
musical (25. ACHIEVE)___, however, his personal life was something of a disaster. His day-to-day (26. RELATE)
___ with people invariably turned out to be rather turbulent. Although he apparently fell in love with a number of
society women, the identity of the girl who lay closest to his heart remains (27. ELUDE)__ to this day. However, just
at the point when Beethoven was beginning to reap the rewards of his early endeavours, he had to come to terms
with the crushing (28. REALISE)___that his increasing deafness was (29. CURE)____ . From that point on, his
music displayed a (30. STRIKE)___change in style, becoming both heavier in tone and larger in scale.

Career success in the arts
John Prince, famous dancer and choreographer, gives advice on how to succeed in a career in the arts.
I asked John how he got started and what requirements there are. "Well, to be a professional dancer it's useful to have 13
had acting lessons or some background in drama. If you want to succeed in musical theatre you have to have a good
singing voice as well. When you approach an agent you should take a portfolio with your CV, your statistics sheet
and some good photos and reviews of past performances. You'll need dance clothes, ballet shoes, tap shoes, and even
roller skates depending on what kind of show you are going to go for." 58 ____ "Of course, you need to be
extremely fit if you want to be a professional dancer. I dance or move about for about six hours a day. There are great
health benefits to being a dancer. I can eat a lot of pasta without gaining weight because dancing increases your
metabolism so much." 59____ John has a very busy schedule in the next few months. He took time out to speak to
me today from the making of a pop video to promote N-ergy's latest record. "I choreographed the dance routine for
the boys and they only had 2 days in which to learn it! I am going to be working on a video for another well known
band - but that's top secret. Next month I'll be touring Spain in a production of a musical that was written by a friend
of mine, Michaela Evans. 60____As for the future, I've come to realise that I would never be content to be just a
chorus dancer - I'm too much of an individual for that. Like all artists I'd love to become a household name by
writing and choreographing my own musicals." John was born in Jamaica to a Jamaican father and a Scottish mother
but the family emigrated to England 20 years ago. "I have a little sister I adore, who is also training to be a dancer."
How does it feel to have someone else following in your footsteps? 61____ Has he much more to learn, I wondered.
"I've spent an incredible amount of my life training to get where I am. I went to college for two years in England, I
trained for six months in Paris and about eight months in America. But you never really stop training or learning
your art." 62____ So, would you say it's been plain sailing? "I feel I've been lucky to a degree; many people hit
problems breaking into the arts. It can be a vicious circle really. You can't become a member of Equity, which is the
actors' and dancers' union, without good contracts and you can't get good contracts without being a member of
Equity. My advice to people who want to get into the arts would be to go out into the world, and try everything else
first. 63 ____ What has a dance career done for you as a person? "Thanks to dancing, I've visited and performed in
23 countries so far. This has opened my eyes to the world, and I've been able to understand issues like racism and
inequality from a wider perspective. 64 ____ "So all in all I'm really happy to be a dancer!"
A It's fine, but I try not to give out too much advice as it gets irritating!
B And if nothing you like comes out of it, then come back and be an actor or dancer.
C Without a strict daily timetable like this you find yourself wasting too much time.
D After that it's back to England to start a new term of dance classes.
E Hopefully this has enabled me to become a better and more tolerant person as a result.
F When it comes to coping with stress, I find that exercise helps me to cope with my problems, so I stay in good shape mentally as well.
G Like any profession where you're always travelling, you tend to acquire something new almost every day.
H Being fully equipped with all this stuff beforehand makes it easier when you go for auditions.
Q65 →79 Choose the appropriate words to complete the following passage WHALES
How far would you travel for a good meal? If you were a humpback whale, the answer would be five thousand
miles. These large sea animals travel at least that far from their winter home off the (65)__ of Columbia to their
summer (66) __ areas off Antarctica. The distance covered by some types of whale is amazing, especially when you
(67) __ their enormous size. The blue whale is the largest animal that has ever (68) __ and it can weigh as much as
thirty elephants. It (69) __ as no surprise, therefore, to hear that ancient folk legends tell of sailors (70) __ these
creatures for islands. The more we (71) __ about whales, the more wonderful they seem. Some species can (72) __
their breath for more than an hour and dive to a (73) __ of over 200 metres. They use a system of sounds (74) __ as
echo-location to find the fish they eat and they have further sounds to keep in (75) __ with each other. The noises
they (76) __ can travel hundred of miles under water. Some species seem to sing complicated songs which (77) __ of
a number of separate themes, sung in a specific order which can (78) __ up to half an hour or more. If you ever get

Q80 →87. You are going to read three different opinions from leading scientists about the future of fuel. For the
questions below, choose from the writers A-C. The writers may be chosen more than once.
A. Howard Bloom, Author: Even though most people are convinced that peak oil has already passed, to me, peak
oil is just a hypothesis. There is a theory that carbon molecules can be found in interstellar gas clouds, comets and in
space ice, and if this is the case, our planet could ooze oil for ever. And even if we stay earthbound, those who say
we have raped the planet of all its resources are wrong. There's a huge stock of raw materials we haven't yet learned
to use. There are bacteria two miles beneath our feet which can turn solid granite into food. If bacteria can do it,
surely we creatures with brains can do it better. As far as the near future of energy is concerned, I believe the most
promising alternative fuels are biofuels, such as ethanol. It's an alcohol made from waste products such as the bark of
trees, woodchips, and other 'waste materials'. And that's not the only waste that can create energy. My friend in the
biomass industry is perfecting an energy-generation plant which can run on human waste. We produce that in vast
quantities, and it's already gathered in centralised locations.
B. Michael Lardelli, Lecturer in Genetics at The University of Adelaide: Nothing exists on this planet without
energy. It enables flowers and people to grow and we need it to mine minerals, extract oil or cut wood and then to
process these into finished goods. So the most fundamental definition of money is as a mechanism to allow the
exchange and allocation of different forms of energy. Recently, people have been using more energy than ever
before. Until 2005 it was possible to expand our energy use to meet this demand. However, since 2005 oil supply has
been in decline, and at the same time, and as a direct result of this, the world's economy has been unable to expand,
leading to global recession. With the world's energy and the profitability of energy production in decline at the same
time, the net energy available to support activities other than energy procurement will decrease. We could increase
energy production by diverting a large proportion of our remaining oil energy into building nuclear power stations
and investing in renewable forms of energy. However, this is very unlikely to happen in democratic nations, because
it would require huge, voluntary reductions in living standards. Consequently, the world economy will continue to
contract as oil production declines. With energy in decline, it will be impossible for everyone in the world to become
wealthier. One person's increased wealth can only come at the expense of another person's worsened poverty.
C. Jeroen van der Veer, chief executive of Royal Dutch Shell: People are understandably worried about a future of
growing energy shortages, rising prices and international conflict for supplies. These fears are not without
foundation. With continued economic growth, the world's energy needs could increase by 50% in the next 25 years.
However, I do not believe that the world is running out of energy. Fossil fuels will be able to meet growing demand
for a long time in the future. Taking unconventional resources into account, we are not even close to peak oil. The
priority for oil companies is to improve efficiency, by increasing the amount of oil recovered from reservoirs. At
present, just over a third is recovered. We can also improve the technology to control reservoir processes and
improve oil flow. However, these projects are costly, complex and technically demanding, and they depend on
experienced people, so it is essential to encourage young people to take up a technical career in the energy industry.
Meanwhile, alternative forms of energy need to be made economically viable. International energy companies have
the capability, the experience and the commercial drive to work towards solving the energy problem so they will play
a key role. But it is not as simple as merely making scientific advances and developing new tools; the challenge is to
deliver the technology to people worldwide. Companies will need to share knowledge and use their ideas effectively. Which writer
80. believes oil will be available for many more years _____
81. believes that from now on, less oil is available _____
82. believes there are ways to obtain energy that we have not yet discovered _____
83. sees a great potential in natural fuels _____
84. believes the fuel crisis will cause the poor to become poorer _____
85. sees energy and the economy as intrinsically linked _____
86. believes that better technology can help to maintain oil production levels _____
87. thinks that oil companies are responsible for developing other types of energy _____ 15
