Reading Comprehension

Passage One

Water

on

the

earth

is

being

continuously

recycled

in

a

process

known

as

the

hydrologic cycle.

The first step of the cycle is the evaporation of water in the oceans.

Evaporation is the process of water turning into vapor, which then forms clouds in the

sky.

The second step is the water returning to the earth in the form of either rain,

snow or ice.

When the water reaches the earth’s surface, it runs off into the rivers,

lakes and the ocean, where the cycle begins again.

Not

all

water,

however,

stays

on

the

surface

of

the

earth

in

the

hydrologic

cycle.

2

Some

of

it

flows

slowly

into

the

ground

through

infiltration

and

collects

under

the

earth’s surface as ground water.

This ground water is extremely important to life on

earth since 95% of the earth’s water is in the oceans, and is too salty for humans or

plants.

Of the 5% on land, only 0.05% is above ground in rivers or lakes.

The rest

is underground water.

This ground water is plentiful and dependable, as it doesn’t

depend

on

seasonal

rain

or

snow.

It

is

the

major

source

of

water

for

many

cities.

But

as

the

population

increases

and

the

need

for

water

also

increases,

the

ground

water

in

some

areas

is

getting

dangerously

low.

Added

to

this

problem

is

an

increasing amount of pollution that flows into the ground water.

In the future, with

an increasing population and more poisonous waste, the hydrologic cycle we depend

on could become dangerously unbalanced.

31

Clouds are formed from ______.

A. evaporation

B. water vapor

C. outer space

D. the hydrologic cycle

32

What percentage of the total earth’s water does underground wat

er make up?

A. 0.05%

B. 0.5%

C. 4.95%

D. 5%

33

Which of the following is TRUE about ground water?

A. It comes from the oceans

B. It depends on seasonal rain.

C. It is 95%

of all water.

D. It collects under the earth.

34

The supply of ground water is getting low because of ______.

A. conservation

B. poisonous waste

C. pollution

D. population increase

35

This passage mainly discusses ______.

A. water conservation

B. the hydrologic cycle

C. underground water

D. polluted ground water

Passage Two

When we meet another person for the first time, we are actually flooded with new

information. Almost at once, we notice his appearance, style of dress, and manner of

speech. Furthermore, as we listen to what he has to say and observe the things he does,

we begin to form some idea of what kind of person he is and what he intends to do. As

you know form

your own experience, though, we do not only gather these separate

pieces of information. Instead we do further and combine them into a unified picture.

In short, we form an overall impression of each person we meet - an impression that

can be favorable or unfavorable. But how, precisely, do we perform this task? How do

we

combine

so

much

different

information

into

a

clear

first

impression

with

such

quick speed? A great deal of research has been performed on this question, and results

point

to

the

following

answer:

We

perform

this

task

through

a

special

type

of

averaging.

Expressed very simply,

our

impressions of others seem

to

represent

a weighted

average

of

all

information

that

can

be

gathered

about

them.

That

is,

they

reflect

a

process in which all information we have about others is averaged together - but with
