PART 5: READING COMPHREHENSION

READING PASSAGE 1 :Read the text below and choose the best answer to each
question.
Most of us lead unhealthy lives: we spend far too much time sitting down. If, in addition,
we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become flabby and our systems sluggish.
Then the guilt feelings start : “I must go on a diet”, “ I must try to lose weight” “ I must
get more fresh air and exercise”, “I must stop smoking”, “I must try to keep fit” . There are
some aspects of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I’m thinking of such features of
modern urban life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to
minimize the effects of these evils.
The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take some
sports. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and
hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are
simply watching them. It is an illusion to think that you will get fit by going to watch the
football match every Saturday, unless you count the effort required to fight your way
through the crowds to get to the best seats.
For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports – and it is especially
difficult to do so if you are not good at them – there are such solitary activities as cycling,
walking and swimming. What often happens, though, is that you do them in such a
leisurely way, so slowly, that is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, apart from
the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair. Of course you can
be very thorough about exercise, even fanatical. Many sports shops now sell frightening
pieces of apparatus, chest-expanders and other mysterious gadgets of shiny spring steel,
which, according to the advertisements, will bring you up to an Olympic standard of
fitness, provided that you follow a rigorous and regular programme of exercises. Such
programmes generally involve long periods of time bending these curious bits of metal
into improbable shapes.
It all strikes me as utterly boring and also time-consuming. Somebody suggested
recently that all such effort was pointless anyway because if you spend half an hour every
day jogging round the local park, you will add to your life exactly the number of hours that
you wasted doing the ‘jogging’ in the first place. The argument is false even if the facts are
correct, but there is no doubt that exercise in itself can be boring.
Even after you have found a routine for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics
or isometrics, you are still only half way to good health, because, according to the experts,
you must also master the art of complete metal and physical relaxation. Now, this does not
mean snoozing in the armchair or going dancing ( which is a good form of exercise in
itself ) . It has to do with deep breathing , emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation,
and so on.
Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems
for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. Contrary to popular belief, you do not have
to learn a lot of strange words or become a Buddhist in order to benefit from Yoga. It
seems ironical, though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense, we have found
it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity – physical effort on the one hand,
and relaxation on the other – which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.
41. Unfitness is the result of ___________.
A. lack of fresh air and exercise
B. overeating, smoking and living in town
C. not eating properly and not getting enough exercise
D. not taking part in sports
42. Pollution, noise and stress are examples of ___________.
A. causes of unfitness B. bad features of living in towns
C. the things we must avoid if we are to stay healthy D. industrial life and work

A. give up smoking and go on a diet B. start a programme of keep-fit exercises
C. make resolutions to lead a healthier life D. take up a sport
44. A lot of people who go to the park at the weekend are ___________.

_________.
A. do them often enough B. have the encouragement of others
C. take them seriously enough D. do them vigorously enough

A. they take up too much time B. there are much easier ways of getting
fit

drink

READING PASSAGE 2: Read the text below and choose the best answer to each
question.
WARNING ON GLOBAL WARMING
Global warming could cause drought and possibly famine in China, the source of much of
Hong Kong's food, by 2050, a new report predicts. Hong Kong could also be at risk from
flooding as sea levels rose. The report recommends building sea-walls around low-lying
areas such as the new port and airport reclamations. Published by the World Wide Fund
for Nature (WWF), the report, which includes work by members of the Chinese Academy
of Meteorological Sciences, uses the most recent projections on climate change to point to
a gloomy outlook for China. 

By 2050 about 30 to 40 per cent of the country will experience changes in the type of
vegetation it supports, with tropical and sub-tropical forest conditions shifting northward
and hot desert conditions rising in the west where currently the desert is temperate. Crop-
growing areas will expand but any benefit is expected to be negated by increased
evaporation of moisture, making it too dry to grow crops such as rice. The growing season
also is expected to alter, becoming shorter in southern and central China, the mainland's
breadbasket. The rapid changes make it unlikely that plants could adapt.

"China will produce smaller crops. In the central and northern areas, and the southern part,
there will be decreased production because of water limitations," Dr. Rik Leemans, one of
the authors of the report, said during a brief visit to the territory yesterday. Famine could
result because of the demands of feeding the population - particularly if it grows - and the
diminished productivity of the land. "It looks very difficult for the world as a whole" he
said. 

Global warming is caused by the burning of large amounts of fossil fuels, such as coal and
oil, which release gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. World temperatures already have
increased this century by about 0.6 degrees Celsius and are projected to rise by between
1.6 degrees and 3.8 degrees by 2100. 

Dr. Leemans said China's reliance on coal-fired power for its industrial growth did not
bode well for the world climate. "I think the political and economic powers in China are
much greater than the environmental powers, and (greenhouse gas emissions) could
accelerate," Dr. Leemans said. "China is not taking the problem seriously yet, although it
is trying to incorporate this kind of research to see what is going to happen."

The climate change report, which will be released tomorrow, focuses on China but Mr
David Melville of WWF-Hong Kong said some of the depressing scenarios could apply to
the territory. Food supplies, for instance, could be affected by lower crop yields. "Maybe
we could afford to import food from elsewhere but you have to keep in mind that the type
of changes experienced in southern China will take place elsewhere as well," he said. Sea
levels could rise as glaciers melted and the higher temperatures expanded the size of the
oceans, threatening much of developed Hong Kong which is built on reclaimed land.
Current projections are that sea levels worldwide will rise by 15 to 90 centimetres by
2100, depending on whether action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 

"Hong Kong has substantial areas built on reclaimed land and sea level rises could impact
on that, not only on Chek Lap Kok but the West Kowloon Reclamation and the Central
and Western Reclamation - the whole lot," Mr Melville said, adding that sea-walls would
be needed. Depleted fresh water supplies would be another problem because increased
evaporation would reduce levels. Mr Melville said the general outlook could be helped if
Hong Kong used water less wastefully and encouraged energy efficiency to reduce fuel-
burning. He also called on the West to help China improve its efficiency.
51. Overall, what sort of picture is painted of the future effects of global warming?
A. disastrous B. potentially disastrous
C. relatively optimistic D. on balance things are going to be satisfactory
52. What is this passage?
A. a report
B. a preview of a report
C. an article describing a response to a report
D. an article previewing a report
53. Mr. David Melville suggests that in the future more food could be imported into Hong
Kong. He thinks
these measures could be……… .
A. efficient B. sufficient C. insufficient D. inefficient
54. In paragraph 2, negated is closest in meaning to……… .
A. made possible B. made ineffective C. reduced D. paid for
55. In paragraph 7, depleted could be replaced by which of the following?
A. reduced B. poor C. decaying D. decimated
