Part 6: READING COMPREHENION (10 POINTS)
Passage A: Read the text below and choose the best answer to each question.
There are three different types of rives associated with the Amazon rainforest. Of course,
these types exits elsewhere in the world, yet, in the Amazon, they are most distinct. They are
classified as whitewater , clearwater, and blackwater rivers, and each displays elements that
make it ecologically distinct from the others. Clearly, one of the main reasons they have been
named as such is due to the qualities of their appearance, but there are also fundamental
differences in everything from their water consistency to abundance or lack of organisms
within each type of river. While whitewater and blackwater rivers occupy areas on the floor
of the forest at minimal elevations, clearwater rivers tend to be present at higher elevations in
mountainous regions. Still, each contributes in its own way to one of the most diverse
ecosystems on the planets, the Amazon.
The clearwater rivers of the Amazon region, also called bluewater rivers, are noted for
their crystal-clear water and are typically found flowing through the rocks of the highlands
and at upper elevations. One of the main reasons why the waters are so clear is that the rocks
they flow through and over are extremely old, making erosion by the river waters difficult.
This lack of erosion lends to a lack of sediment in the water and its more transparent nature.
Clearwater rivers are also much swifter than whitewater or blackwater rivers due to their
abrupt changes in gradients. Overall, clearwater rivers have a very high mineral content,
which allows plant life as well as algae to proliferate. Because of the abundance of aglae,
many other types of species of fish are able to thrive as well.
A second major type of river found in the Amazon is the whitewater river. The formidable
Amazon River itself is in this class. Ironically, whitewater rivers are usually light-chocolate
colored and have extremely low visibility because they contain heavy loads of sediment. Two
of the main causes of their high sediment content are the natural erosion of the river basin
itself as well as the deforestation of the rainforest. As deforestation continues, soil is no longer
anchored by the roots of vegetation and trees and its instead washed into the river during
heavy rains that frequent the rainforest. Still, whitewater rivers are inherently rich in nutrients
and therefore support numerous types of aquatic organisms. In contrast to clearwater rivers,
whitewater rivers such as the Amazon tend to flow much more slowly because of the low
gradients involved. For example, the Amazon itself experiences only a 107-meter change in
elevation for Peru to its mouth, a distance that covers over about 3.219 kilometers.
The final major type of river in the Amazon is known as a blackwater river, of which the
Rio Negro in Brazil is a prime example and also the largest in the world. Blackwater rivers
are the most common type in the Amazon. They exhibit a deep, dark brown color due to the
decomposition of leaves and vegetation in the waters. Most vegetation contains the chemica
tannin, which is released into blackwater rivers as it begins to decompose. Blackwater rivers
have excellent clarity due to their highly acidic nature, which also benefits the river in a
couple of other ways. A high acid content is an excellent trait for a river to have because it
keeps the river clean and, in many ways, more saniatry than others. The acid kills parasites
and bacteria which can threaten fish populations, as well as insect larvae such as that of
mosquitoes, reducing the spread of dangerous diseases such as malaria.
While the Amazon is a highly diverse ecosystem, one of the reasons this is so is due to the
different types of river systems within it. The Amazon is the main vein, and most blackwater
and clearwater rivers are estuaries or branches of it until they finally link at certain points
along the Amazon’s main route. For example, the Amazon and the Rio Negro finally meet at
Manaus, Brazil, and, once they do, their distinct ecosystems are combined to form an even
more complex river system of life and water quality until it eventually empties into the ocean.

Langston Hughes was one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. He
was born in Joplin, Missouri, and moved to Cleveland at the age of 14. Several years later he
spent one year in Mexico before attending Columbia University in New York. For a few years
after that, he roamed the world as a seaman, visiting ports around the world and writing some
poetry. He returned to the United States and attended Lincoln University, where he won the
Witter Bynner Prize for undergraduate poetry. After graduating in 1928, he traveled to Spain
and to Russia with the help of a Guggenheim fellowship. His novels include Not without
Laughter (1930) and The Big Sea (1940). He wrote an autobiography in 1956 and also
published several collections of poetry. The collections include The Weary Blues (1926), The
Dream Keeper (1932), Shakespeare in Harlem (1942), Fields of Wonder (1947), One Way
Ticket (1947), and Selected Poems (1959).
A man of many talents, Hughes was also a lyricist, librettist, and a journalist. As an older
man in the 1960s, he spent much of his time collecting poems from Africa and from African-
Americans to popularize black writers. Hughes is one of the most accomplished writers in
American literary history, and he is seen as one of the artistic leaders of the Harlem
Renaissance, the period when a neighborhood that was predominantly black produced a flood
of great literature, music, and other art forms depicting daily city life for African-Americans.
