Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
The United Nations recently outlined the extent of the global water crisis, saying that 2.7 billion people
would face severe water shortages by 2025 if consumption continues at current rates. Today, an estimated
1.2 billion people drink unclean water, and about 2.5 billion lack proper toilets or waste disposal systems.
More than five million people die each year from diseases related to unclean water. Humans are pumping
water out of the ground faster than it can be replenished. In this difficult situation, a water conservationist,
Neil MacLeod in South Africa, has found innovative ways to improve his local water situation.
Neil MacLeod took over as head of Durban Metro Water Services in 1992. The situation he found was a
catastrophe. Durban had one million people living in the city and another 1.5 million people who lived in
poverty just outside it. The entire city was rife with broken water pipes, leaky toilets, and faulty plumping
whereby 42 percent of the region’s water was simply being wasted.
MacLeod’s crews began repairing and replacing water pipes. They put water meters on residences,
replaced eight-liter toilets with four-liter models, and changed wasteful showers and water taps. To ensure
that the poor would receive a basic supply of water, MacLeod installed tanked in homes and apartments to
provides 190 liters of water a day free to each household. Water consumption in Durban is now less than it
was in 1996, even as 800,000 more people have received service. Through sensible water use, Durban’s
conservation measures paid for themselves within a year. No new reservoirs will be needed in the coming
decades, despite the expected addition of about 300,000 inhabitants.
MacLeod has also turned into water recycling. At the water recycling plant, waste water is turned into
clean water in just12 hours. Most people are unable to discern a difference between the usual city drinking
water and the treated wastewater, although it is actually intended for industrial purposes.
Some people still hope that new technology, such as the desalination of seawater, will solve the
world’s water problems. “But the fact is, water conservation is where the big gains are to be made,” says
Sandra Postel of the Global Water Policy Project. The dedication and resourcefulness of people like Neil
MacLeod offer inspiration for implementing timely and lasting solutions to the world’s water concerns.

Read the following passage about Eugene O’Neill and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
Universally acclaimed as America’s greatest playwright, Eugene O’Neill was born in 1888 in the heart of
the theater district in New York City. [I] As the son of an actor he had early exposure to the world of the
theater. [II] He attended Princeton University briefly in 1906, but returned to New York to work in a variety
of jobs before joining the crew of a freighter as a seaman. [III] Upon returning from voyages to South Africa
and South America, he was hospitalized for six months to recuperate from tuberculosis. [IV] While he was
recovering, he determined to write a play about his adventures on the sea.
He went to Harvard, where he wrote the one-act Bound East for Cardiff. It was produced in 1916 on
Cape Cod by the Provincetown Players, an experimental theater group that was later to settle in the famous
Greenwich Village theater district in New York City. The Players produced several more of his one-acts in
the years between 1916-1920. With the full-length play Beyond the Horizon, produced on Broadway in
1920, O’Neill’s success was assured. The play won the Pulitzer Prize for the best play of the year. O’Neill
was to be awarded the prize again in 1922, 1928, and 1957 for Anna Christie, Strange Interlude, and Long
Day’s Journey Into Night. Although he did not receive the Pulitzer Prize for it, Mourning Becomes Electra,
produced in 1931, is also among his most lasting contributions to the American theater. In 1936, he was
awarded the Nobel Prize for literature.
O’Neill’s plays, forty-five in all, cover a wide range of dramatic subjects, but several themes emerge,
including the ambivalence of family relationships, the struggle between the sexes, the conflict between
spiritual and material desires, and the vision of modern man as a victim of uncontrollable circumstances.
Most of O’Neill’s characters are seeking meaning in their lives. According to his biographers, most of the
characters were portraits of himself and his family. In a sense, his work chronicled his life.
