V. READING COMPREHENSION (20 PTS)
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. Passage 1
As Christmas evolved in the United States, new customs were adopted and many old ones were
reworked. The legend of Santa Claus, for example, had origins in Europe and was brought by Dutch
settlers to New York in the early 18th century. Traditionally, Santa Claus – from the Dutch Sinter Klaas –
was depicted as a tall, dignified, religious figure riding a white horse through the air. Known as Saint
Nicholas in Germany, he was usually accompanied by Black Peter, an elf who punished disobedient children. In North
America he eventually developed into a fat, jolly old gentleman who had neither the religious
attributes of Saint Nicholas nor the strict disciplinarian character of Black Peter.
Santa’s transformation began in 1823, when a New York newspaper published the poem A Visit
from Saint Nicholas, which Clement Clark Moore had written to amuse his daughter. The poem
introduced many Americans to the story of a kindly saint who flew over housetops in a reindeer-drawn
sleigh. Portraits and drawings of Santa Claus by American illustrator Thomas Nast further strengthened
the legend during the second half of the 19th century. Living at the North Pole and assisted by elves, the
modern Santa produced and delivered toys to all good children. By the late 19th century he had become
such a prominent figure of American folklore that in 1897, when Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to the New
York Sun newspaper asking if Santa was real, she received a direct answer: “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus”.

III.ERROR IDENTIFICATION ( 20PTS)
There are ten mistakes in the following paragraph. Find them and correct them
Scientists often divided resources into two groups: renewable and 121__________
non– renewable. When a resource is used, it takes some times replacing it. 122__________
If the resource can be replaced quickly and easily, it is called renewable.
If it cannot be replaced quickly and easy, it is non-renewable. 123__________
All fossil fuels are non-renewable resources. Solar energy, air, and
water are usually called renewable because there is a unlimited supply. 124__________
However, this definition may change if people are not carefully 125__________
with these resources. The amount of solar energy that reaches the earth depends of the atmosphere. 126__________
If the atmosphere was polluted, the solar energy that reaches 127__________
the earth may be dangerous. If humans continue to pollute the air,
it will not contain the correct amounts of these gas. 128__________
Much resources are limited and non- renewable, and many 129__________
are in danger of pollution. As a consequence, resources must
be conserved and the environment protected. Conservation must
become an important part of everyone life. 130__________ 121. divided divide 126. of on 122. replacing to replace 127. was is 123. easy easily 128. gas gases. 124. a an 129. much many 125. carefully careful 130. everyone everyone’s
