Read the following passage carefully and choose the correct answer to each question.
One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having
clean drinking water is a basic human right. But acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made many
sources of water undrinkable. Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake
Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including
1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. But they are being destroyed by the massive
volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even where law existed, the government did
not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea
occupies 1% of the world’s water surface. But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost
16 countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was
limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and
we are at last beginning to respect this precious source. We should do something now.

Read the following passage carefully and choose the correct answer to each question.
How can scientists predict earthquakes? Earthquakes are not scattered anywhere but happen in certain
areas. They happen in places where pieces of the earth’s surface meet. This pattern causes them to shake the
same places many times. For example, earthquakes often occur on the west-coast of North and South America,
around the Mediterranean Sea, and along the Pacific coast of Asia.
Another way to predict earthquakes is to look for changes in the earth’s surface, like a sudden drop of
water level in the ground. Some people say animals can predict earthquakes. Before earthquakes people have
seen chickens sitting in trees, fish jumping out of the water, snakes leaving their holes and other animals
acting strangely.
After an earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food, water, and medical supplies. The amount
of destruction caused by an earthquake depends on where it happens, what time it happens, and how long it is.
It also depends on types of building, soil conditions and population. Of the 6000 earthquakes in the earth each
year, only about fifteen cause great damage and many deaths.
31. Earthquakes happen in certain areas where ____________.
A. the population is large B. pieces of the earth’s surface meet
C. the soil conditions are stable D. many buildings are built
32. Earthquakes often happen along ____________.
A. the east-coast of North America B. the east-coast of South America
C. the Pacific coast of Asia D. the coast of Australia
33. Looking for ____________ can help predict earthquakes.
A. changes in the earth’s surface B. water beneath the earth’s surface
C. drops of water D. water currents
34. After an earthquake, as a result of ____________ people can die.
A. lack of friendship B. lack of information C. lack of food D. lack of knowledge
