II. READING
A.Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows.

Text One

The word erosion comes from a Latin word meaning to gradually eat away.Erosion is the
process whereby bits of earth and sand are loosened and moved to another place.Unlike volcanoes
and earthquakes that cause drastic changes to landscapes in very short periods of time,erosion does
it gradually,sometimes even undetected.When a strong gust of wind blows,soil is moved from one
place to another.Water is also a powerful erosive force.It can even cut through rocks,albeit very
slowly.
