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 following questions.

Early peoples had no need of engineering works to supply their water. Hunters and nomads camped near natural sources of fresh water, and populations were so sparse that pollution of the water supply was not a serious problem. After community life developed and agricultural villages became urban centers, the problem of supplying water became important for inhabitants of a city and irrigation of the farms surrounding. Irrigation works were known in prehistoric times, and before 2000 BC the rulers of Babylonia and Egypt constructed systems of dams and canals to impound the flood waters of the Euphrates and Nile rivers, controlling floods and providing irrigation water throughout the dry season. Such irrigation canals also supplied water for domestic purposes. The first people to consider the sanitation of their water supply were the ancient Romans, who constructed a vast system of aqueducts to bring the clean waters of the Apennine Mountains into the city and built basins and filters along these mains to ensure the clarity of the water. The construction of such extensive systems declined when the Roman Empire disintegrated, and for several centuries local springs and wells formed the main source of domestic and industrial water.

The invention of the force pump in England in the middle of the 16th century greatly extended the  possibilities of development of water-supply systems. In London, the first pumping waterworks was  completed in 1562; it pumped river water to a reservoir about 37m above the level of the River Thames  and from the reservoir the water was distributed by gravity, through lead pipes, to buildings in the  vicinity. Increased per-capita demand has coincided with water shortages in many countries. Southeast  England, for example, receives only 14 percent of Britain's rainfall, has 30 percent of its population,  and has experienced declining winter rainfall since the 1980s.

In recent years a great deal of interest has been shown in the conversion of seawater to fresh water to  provide drinking water for very dry areas, such as the Middle East. Several different processes,  including distillation, electro-dialysis, reverse osmosis, and direct-freeze evaporation, have been  developed for this purpose. Some of these processes have been used in large facilities in the United  States. Although these processes are successful, the cost of treating seawater is much higher than that for treating fresh water.

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 following questions. 

It is not surprising that the birthplace of cola was the hot and humid American South. This region had  long specialized in creating delicious soft drinks. A druggist in Atlanta, Georgia named John Pemberton  created the most well–known drink brand in the world in the 1880s. However, it seems clear that he had  no idea how big it would become.

Like many American pharmacists of the day, Pemberton was opposed to the drinking of alcohol and  wanted to produce a stimulating soft drink. First, he made "the French Wine of Coca," made from the  coca leaf. Then he began to experiment with the cola nut. Eventually, he managed to make a  combination of the two that he thought was sweet, but not too sweet. Deciding that "the two C's would  look well in advertising," he named it Coca–Cola.

Pemberton's invention caught on fairly quickly. By 1905, "Coke" was being advertised all over the  country as "The Great Natural Temperance Drink." The drink enjoyed additional success since there  was a large and popular temperance movement in the US at that time. In the 1920s, alcohol was  outlawed, and sales of Coke rose significantly. However, they continued to rise even after the law was  repeated.

Another reason for Coke's popularity was good business sense. A year after he invented it, Pemberton  had sold Coca–Cola to Asa Griggs Candler for only $283.26! Candler was a marketing genius, and by  the time he sold the Coca–Cola Company in1919, it was worth $25 million.

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 from 1 to 5.

The first public television broadcast in the United States took place in 1928. The broadcast didn't reach many people-at that time there were only four television sets.

Today, 98 percent of American houses have at least one television, and 41 percent have three or more. The average American house has the TV on for 7 Hours and 40 minutes every day.

Many people are concerned with the effect that so much television has on American people-especially children. The average child watches 28 hours of TV a week. The average youth spends 1,023 hours a year watching TV (they spend only 900 hours a year in school). By the time they finish high school, the average American teenager will have seen 16,000 murders on TV.

One group trying to get people to watch less TV is the TV-Turnoff Network, who celebrate TV-Turnoff Week every year. In 2002, they got 6.5 million people to stop watching TV for a week. "Turn off TV, turn on life", they say.

Watching less TV is also taking off with some Hollywood celebrities. Tom Cruise, the actor, only allows his children to watch 3.5 hours of TV a week. Director Stephen Spielberg only lets his five children watch an hour a day. One Australian actress, Naomi Watts, lets her children watch only the soccer World Cup on TV-once every four years!

 Question 1. What is the best title for this passage?

A. Can Television Be A Bad Thing?

B. A History of Television

C. American Television Programs

B. The average American teenager will have seen 16,000 people being killed by the time they finish high school.

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.

Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only in the past two decades. The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the ecosystems with the highest known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance and fragility of biological diversity. The high rate of species extinctions in these environments is jolting, but it is important to recognize the significance of biological diversity in all ecosystems. As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect one after another of Earth's ecosystems. In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most common problem is habitat destruction. In most situations, the result is irreversible. Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less than two centuries, by significantly reducing the variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the course of evolution.

Certainly, there have been periods in Earth's history when mass extinctions have occurred. The extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic. There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between species reached an extreme conclusion. Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determined which species survived and which died out.

However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human species is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment. In fact, there is wide agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes themselves, that will lead to biological devastation. Life on Earth has continually been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing species and time for the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in new environments.

A. not all mass extinctions have been caused by human activity

B. the cause of the dinosaurs' extinction is unknown

A. The cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs.

B. The time required for species to adapt to new environments.

C. The impact of human activities on Earth's ecosystems.

Question 7. With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?

A. Humans should be more conscious of the influence they have on ecosystems.

B. The extinction of a few species is an acceptable consequence of human progress.

C. Technology will provide solutions to problems caused by the destruction of ecosystems.
