V. READING COMPREHENSION (10 PTS):
READING 1: (5 PTS): Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each question.
In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a
greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources. Fortunately, there are a number of readily available,
renewable resources that are both cost- effective and earth – friendly. Two such resources are solar power and
geothermal power. Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the
needs of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar energy is easily harnessed through the use
of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. In the US alone, more than 100, 000 homes are equipped
with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts of the world,
including many developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily.
Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal power,
which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth. Hot water and steam that are trapped in
underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which is produces electricity.
Geothermal energy is 50,000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel resources. And as
with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple. A prime example of
effective geothermal use is in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity where over 80 percent of private
homes are heated by geothermal power. Solar and geothermal energy are just two of promising renewable
alternatives to conventional energy sources. The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of
alternative energy on global scale.
41. What is the main topic of this passage ?
A. The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources.
B. How energy resources are tapped from nature.
C. Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized.
D. Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide.
42. According to the passage, why should we consider using alternative energy sources ?
A. Because fossil fuels are no longer available.
B. Because global warming has increased the amount of sunlight that reaches the earth.
C. Because they are free and available worldwide.
D. Because conventional energy resources are being depleted, and they cause environmental damage.
43. Which of the following words could best replace the word “ harnessing” A. Capturing B. Harassing C. Depleting D. Exporting
44. According to the passage, what can be inferred about solar roof tiles?
A. They are being used in many undeveloped countries. C. They are more expensive than solar panels.
B. They can convert geothermal energy to electricity.
D. They contain photovoltaic cells.
45. According to the passage, how is solar energy production similar to geothermal energy production ?
A. They both require the use of a generator.
B. They both use heat from the earth’s surface.
C. They both require fairly simple technology.
D. They are both conventional and costly.
46. Where is the best place in the passage to insert the following sentence:
“ Although the US is not utilizing geothermal resources to this extent, the Western US has a similar capacity to generate geothermal power”
A. after the phrase ” earth-friendly”
B. after the phrase “ growing steadily”
C. after the phrase “ by geothermal power”
D. after the phrase “ global scale”
47. According to the passage, which of the following is true about solar power ?
A. There is very little of it available in Iceland.
B. It is being used in 100, 000 private homes worldwide.
C. It is 6,000 times more powerful than energy from fossil fuels.
D. There is enough of it to far exceed the energy needs of the world.
48. What can be inferred about the use of geothermal energy in Iceland?
A. It is widely used form of energy for heating homes.
B. Twenty percent of the geothermal energy created is used to heat businesses.
C. It is not effective for use in private homes.
D. It is 80 times more effective than traditional forms of energy.
49. What does the author imply about alternative energy sources ?
A. Many different types of alternative energy sources exist.
B. Most alternative energy sources are too impractical for private use.
C. Alternative energy is too expensive for developing countries to produce.
D. Solar and geothermal energy are the effective forms of alternative power
50. What best describes the author’s purpose in writing the passage ?
A. To warn people about the hazards of fossil fuel use.
B. To describe the advantages and disadvantages of alternative energy use.

READING 2 (5 PTS): Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each question.
A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago
and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes.The first fact is that
burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very obviously empty. This is much
less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the bother.
There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid leaving
signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a radio or
television, and do not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or computer is enough to tempt any burglar.
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under the
doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by the intruder. It is
much safer to leave a key with a neighbour you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet, desolate area be aware
that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security
lights to the outside of your house.
But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has decided
to target your home. Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs windows
provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe. Before
going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked. No matter how small your
windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get through. For extra
security, fit window locks to the inside of the window.
What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should have
top quality security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent. Install a burglar alarm
if you can afford it as another line of defense against intruders.
A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the trouble of
breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and, particularly if
you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure. When you do have
callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example.
If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an
intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder. It is far better to telephone the police and wait for help.
51. A well-protected house ____.
A. is less likely to be burgled.
B. is regarded as a challenge by most criminals.
C. is a lot of bother to maintain.
D. is very unlikely to be burgled.
52. According to the writer, we should ____.
A. avoid leaving our house empty.
B. only go out when we have to.
C. always keep the curtains closed.
D. give the impression that our house is occupied when we go out.
53. The writer thinks that hiding a key under a doormat or flower pot ____. A. is predictable. B. is useful. C. is imaginative.
D. is where you always find a spare key.
54. What word best replaces “desolate” in paragraph 4? A. isolated B. populous C. dissatisfying D. depressing
55. The 'aforementioned precautions' refer to steps that ____.
A. will tell a burglar if your house is empty or not. C. will stop a potential burglar.
B. are the most important precautions to take to make your home safe.
D. will not stop an intruder if he has decided to try and enter your home.
56. Gaining entry to a house through a small window ____. A. is surprisingly difficult.
B. is not as difficult as people think.
C. is less likely to happen than gaining entry through a door.
D. is tried only by very determined burglars.
57. According to the writer, window locks, security locks and burglar alarms ____.
A. cost a lot of money but are worth it. B. are good value for money. C. are luxury items.
D. are absolutely essential items.
58. The writer argues that fitting a chain and an eye hole____.
A. will prevent your home being burgled.
B. avoids you having to invite people into your home.
C. is only necessary for elderly people.
D. gives you time to check if the visitor is genuine.
59. What word best replaces “scrutinise” in paragraph 7? A. glance B. gaze C. search D. examine
60. The best title for the text is____. A. Increasing household crime.

Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offering them. A child
rarely dislikes food unless it is well cooked. The way the meal is cooked and served is very important Line 2
and an attractive served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes Line 3
and dislikes a food and never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow nobody else to do so.
Unless the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing he is Line 4
likely to copy this procedure. Take it for grant that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing Line 5
healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a supposing dislike. At meal time, it is a good
idea to give a child a small portion and let him come back for a second helping other than give him as Line 6
much as he is likely to at all once. Do not talk too much to the child during the meal time, but let him Line 7
get over with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will
soon learn to swallow his food so that he can hurry back to his toys. Under no circumstances must a Line 8
