Test Paper

I. Read the following text and decide if the following sentences are true (T) or false
(F). 20points

At half past six on Friday evening in January, Lincoln International Airport

was open, but was in difficulty. The airport has been hit by the worst storm in years. It
had already lasted for three days. Now troubles, like spots on a sick weakened body,
were beginning to break out everywhere. A truck carrying two hundred dinners was
lost in the snow somewhere on an airport service road, and so far the search for it had
been unsuccessful. At least a hundred flights were delayed, some by many hours. Mel
Bakersfeld was surprised that the airport was still open. Mel was the airport general
manager. He was a tall, powerful man. At the moment, he was standing by the Snow
Control Desk, high in the control tower. Usually, you could see the entire airport from
here. Tonight, you could see only a few lights. This was an unusually hard winter.
The storm had started five days ago in the Colorado Mountains and then swept across
a large part of the United States. It brought with it strong winds, freezing cold and
heavy snow.
