Part One:
Comprehension
Question Number
One:
Read the following texts carefully then
answer the entire questions that follow each text:
Most of the lectures are interesting, that is, when I can understand
them! We have a huge amount of background reading to get through but
there aren’t enough hours in the day to do it all. The hostel is
O.K. It’s a bit
barren
and it can get
you down sometimes but at least it’s warm! I’m sharing a room with a
girl called Karen; we’ll be sharing for the rest of the year so I
expect we’ll all get together eventually. I’m sure we’re going to
become close friends.
She’s tall with short curly blonde hair (the exact opposite of me!)
She has quite a pale complexion and, when we’re not in uniform, she
usually wears black
which
makes her look rather delicate. (In fact, she’s as strong as a horse!)
She comes from Lancashire in the north of England – and yes – I can
understand her!
1. Describe the writer’s appearance?
2. What makes the hostel acceptable
despite being barren?
3. What problem does the writer have
with her studying?
4. The underlined word line (3) above
means?
5. The underlined pronoun line (9)
above refers to?
Question Number Two:
In the earth's arid regions , the population is continually rising ,
leading to increased demands on the limited water resources of these
regions , the threat that these demands on the water resources will
outstrip supplies is an issue that is faced every day by the 600
million inhabitants of arid regions . It is in the Badia region of
Jordan where the experts hope that some solutions will be found.
Many experts in environmental management believe that the answer to
present problems lies in promoting sustainable development.
This
means development that, once started, can be maintained by creating a
cycle of supply and demand within the local area. In other words,
sustainable development needs the effective
exploitation
of local resources, not the artificial imposition of external
resources. In 1992 , a long – term programme of research and
development in the Badia was started as a joint venture between the
Jordan Higher Council for Science and Technology
(HCST) and Britain’s Royal Geographical Society (RGS) . The
objective of the project is to show how sustainable development of
arid regions is possible, not only in the Badia but all over the
world.
1. What is the problem that is facing
the arid regions of the world?
2. How can sustainable development be
maintained?
3. What is the aim of the Badia
Programme?
4. The underlined pronoun line (8)
above refers to?
5. The underlined word line (11) means?
