IV. Reading Comprehension: 1. Read the passage, and decide whether the statements that follow are True or False:

A. tornado is a violent storm with very strong wind that goes quickly around in a circle or funnel. Tornadoes come from the energy released in a thunderstorm. They mostly occur in the central plains of North America, east of the Rocky Mountains and west of the Appalachian Mountains. They also occur in many other parts of the world including Australia, Europe, Africa, Asia and South America. The damage from tornadoes comes from the strong winds they contain. Wind speeds that are high can cause automobiles to become airborne, rip homes to shreds and turn broken glass and other debris into lethal missiles. They can be predicted but only to a limited extent. Scientific research has revealed that tornadoes usually form under certain types of atmospheric conditions. Those conditions can be predicted, but not perfectly. A storm shelter is your best choice if you have one. If you have a basement, go there and get under something sturdy to shelter you from falling debris. Don’t try to drive away from a tornado; abandon your vehicle and seek shelter nearby. In a word, if you hear a tornado warning, you should seek immediate shelter.

STATEMENTS T F

1. A tornado is very dangerous. 2. A tornado can suck up a car into the air and turn the debris into the lethal missiles. 3. We should drive away from a tornado. 4. Tornadoes can occur in many parts of the world. 5. It’s necessary for you to seek immediate shelter when hearing a tornado warning.

B. In the Pacific Ocean there are many volcanoes. Their tops form islands. The rich volcanic soil grows

fruit and vegetables abundantly. People do not find it difficult to live on these islands, for the abundant plant life makes food easy to get and the warm climate makes heavy clothing and well-built houses unnecessary. In August 1883, the peaceful island of Krakatoa lay in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. The native people were going about their daily tasks, giving little thought to the mountain which towered above their island home. Almost without warning, there came a terrific explosion, probably the most gigantic ever seen by man. In an instant, the mountain disappeared in a mighty cloud of dust. Huge masses of lava were thrown in every direction. The force of the explosion sent out a giant water wave 100 feet high. It swept along the shores of nearby islands, completely destroying more than two hundred villages. Thousands of people were killed either by the explosion or the wave.

STATEMENTS T F

1. The passage is mainly about life on the peaceful islands in the Pacific Ocean. 2. The volcanic soil on these islands is good for plants and trees. 3. The native people on these islands do not have a comfortable life. 4. Although there wasn’t any warning, a man heard and saw a terrific explosion. 5. The explosion did not cause any damage to the nearby islands.

2. Read the passage, choose the word (A, B, C or D) that best fits the blank space in the following

passage A. Passage1.



Drought is a condition that (1) _______ when the average rainfall for a fertile area drops far below the normal (2) ________ for a long period time. In areas that are not irritated, the lack of rain causes farm crops to wither and die. (3) ________ than normal temperatures usually accompanies periods of drought. They add (4)______the crop damage. Forest fires start easily during droughts. The soil of a drought area becomes dry and crumbles. Often the rich topsoil is blown away by the hot, dry winds. Streams, ponds, and wells often dry up during a drought, and animals suffer and may even die because of the lack of water.

More than two hundred years ago, the term “environmental pollution’ was quite strange to people.

They lived healthily, drank pure water, and breathed fresh air. Nowadays, the situation is quite different.

People all over the world are worried about things that are happening to the environment. Actually it is man

that is destroying the surrounding with many kinds of wastes. Everybody knows that motorbikes and cars

emit dangerous gases that cause poisonous air and cancer, but no one wants to travel on foot or by bicycle.

Manufactures knows that wastes from factories make water and soil polluted, but they don’t want to spend a

lot of their money on treating the wastes safely. Scattering garbage is bad for our health, but no one wants

to spend time burying it. Is it worth talking a lot of danger of pollution?

7. In former day, people knew nothing about environmental pollution.

IV. Reading Comprehension: 1. Read the passage, and decide whether the statements that follow are True or False:

A. tornado is a violent storm with very strong wind that goes quickly around in a circle or funnel. Tornadoes come from the energy released in a thunderstorm. They mostly occur in the central plains of North America, east of the Rocky Mountains and west of the Appalachian Mountains. They also occur in many other parts of the world including Australia, Europe, Africa, Asia and South America. The damage from tornadoes comes from the strong winds they contain. Wind speeds that are high can cause automobiles to become airborne, rip homes to shreds and turn broken glass and other debris into lethal missiles. They can be predicted but only to a limited extent. Scientific research has revealed that tornadoes usually form under certain types of atmospheric conditions. Those conditions can be predicted, but not perfectly. A storm shelter is your best choice if you have one. If you have a basement, go there and get under something sturdy to shelter you from falling debris. Don’t try to drive away from a tornado; abandon your vehicle and seek shelter nearby. In a word, if you hear a tornado warning, you should seek immediate shelter.



STATEMENTS T F

1. A tornado is very dangerous. 2. A tornado can suck up a car into the air and turn the debris into the lethal missiles. 3. We should drive away from a tornado. 4. Tornadoes can occur in many parts of the world. 5. It’s necessary for you to seek immediate shelter when hearing a tornado warning.

B. In the Pacific Ocean there are many volcanoes. Their tops form islands. The rich volcanic soil grows fruit and vegetables abundantly. People do not find it difficult to live on these islands, for the abundant plant life makes food easy to get and the warm climate makes heavy clothing and well-built houses unnecessary. In August 1883, the peaceful island of Krakatoa lay in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. The native people were going about their daily tasks, giving little thought to the mountain which towered above their island home. Almost without warning, there came a terrific explosion, probably the most gigantic ever seen by man. In an instant, the mountain disappeared in a mighty cloud of dust. Huge masses of lava were thrown in every direction. The force of the explosion sent out a giant water wave 100 feet high. It swept along the shores of nearby islands, completely destroying more than two hundred villages. Thousands of people were killed either by the explosion or the wave.

STATEMENTS T F

1. The passage is mainly about life on the peaceful islands in the Pacific Ocean. 2. The volcanic soil on these islands is good for plants and trees. 3. The native people on these islands do not have a comfortable life. 4. Although there wasn’t any warning, a man heard and saw a terrific explosion. 5. The explosion did not cause any damage to the nearby islands.
