The clouds floating overhead contain water vapour and cloud droplets, which are small
drops of condensed water. These droplets are way too small to fall as precipitation, but they are
large enough to form visible clouds. Water is continually evaporating and condensing in the
sky. If you look closely at a cloud you can see some parts disappearing (evaporating) while
other parts are growing (condensation). Most of the condensed water in clouds does not fall as
precipitation because their fall speed is not large enough to overcome updrafts which support the clouds.
For precipitation to happen, first tiny water droplets must condense on even tinier dust,
salt, or smoke particles, which act as a nucleus. Water droplets may grow as a result of
additional condensation of water vapour when the particles collide. If enough collisions occur
to produce a droplet with a fall velocity which exceeds the cloud updraft speed, then it will fall
out of the cloud as precipitation. This is not a trivial task since millions of cloud droplets are
required to produce a single raindrop. A more efficient mechanism for producing a
precipitation-sized drop is through a process which leads to the rapid growth of ice crystals at
the expense of the water vapour present in a cloud. These crystals may fall as snow, or melt and fall as rain.
Question 31: What could be the best title for the passage?
A. How much water falls during a storm B. What do raindrops look like?
C. How do raindrops form?
D. Precipitation size and speed
Question 32: According to paragraph 1, the condensed water in clouds does not fall as rain because ________.
A. the fall speed is not large enough
B. it is too small to fall
C. it is continually evaporating
D. the fall speed makes it disappear
Question 33: The word “additional” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______. A. administrative B. supplementary C. representative D. competitive
Question 34: The word “which” in paragraph 2 refers to ______. A. particles B. collisions C. droplet D. fall velocity
Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor
causing precipitation to happen?
A. Tiny water droplets condensed on a nucleus
B. Collision of particles
C. Fall velocity larger than the cloud updraft speed D. Growth of ice crystals

If you’re an Australian Facebook user who loves to share the news on your timeline, you
may have noticed something different recently: You can’t.
In the next few days, though, things should go back to normal. Less than a week after
suddenly banning news links for Australian users and shutting down Australian news pages to
protest an upcoming law, Facebook says it’s gotten reassurances from the Australian
government that it won’t be forced to pay publishers but will instead be given the chance to
negotiate agreements with them — which it’s already starting to do. According to the Sydney
Morning Herald, Facebook has agreed to pay the major Australian media company Seven West
Media for news content and is in negotiations with another called Nine Entertainment.
Australia has now passed the News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining
Code, which could force Facebook and Google to pay publishers if they host their content. The
law is a response to years-long complaints from news outlets around the world about the role
that Google and Facebook — and their mammoth digital ad businesses — have played in the
decline of journalism and the decimation of its business model in the internet age. The two
companies responded to the then-potential law in very different ways: Google made deals with
Australian news publishers; Facebook decided to cut them off entirely.
After a few days of Australians seeing what Facebook was like without the news, a sizable
amount of worldwide backlash against the company, and talks with the Australian government
that resulted in a few last-minute changes to the law, Facebook decided that the new terms were
good enough for its ban to end. The law passed a few days later.
Previously, Facebook had banned all users from sharing links to Australian news sources,
Australian publications’ pages from hosting any of their own content, and Australian users from
sharing any news links, Australian or international.
