Passage 1:
New Orleans, in Louisiana, is known as the most unique city in the United States with distinctive architecture, cross-cultural heritage and annual music festivals.
However, due to its location along the Mississippi River with lakes on the other side, and nearly half of the city below sea level, the city faces the danger of flooding. So, a levee system and drainage canals were built to protect the city.
Early in the morning of August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina, the most destructive natural disaster in the history of New Orleans, struck the city. The storm brought strong winds and heavy rains for several days. As a result, water from the river and lakes rose, breaking the levees and poured directly into the city. Soon 80 percent of the city was under the water. People scrambled to rooftops for safety, desperate for food and drinking water. The winds were so strong that even beds in Hyatt Hotel were seen flying out of the hotel windows. The loss was tremendous. Most of the major roads and bridges were destroyed, and houses collapsed. Nearly 2,000 people were killed. After the storm, several natural grounds for the breeding and migrating of different species of animals and birds were permanently lost.

Passage 2:
How can scientists predict earthquakes? Earthquakes are not scattered anywhere but happen in certain areas. They happen in places where pieces of the earth’s surface meet. For example, earthquakes often occur on the west-coast of North and South America, around the Mediterranean Sea, and along the Pacific coast of Asia.
Another way to predict earthquakes is to look for changes in the earth’s surface, like a sudden drop of water level in the ground. Some people say animals can predict earthquakes. Before earthquakes people have seen chickens sitting in trees, fish jumping out of the water, snake leaving their holes and other animals acting strangely.
After an earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food, water and medical supplies. The amount of destruction caused by an earthquake depend on types of building, soil conditions and population. Of the 6000 earthquakes on the earth each year, only about fifteen cause great damage and many deaths.
Question 1: Earthquakes happen in certain areas where _______________.
A. the population is large B. pieces of the earth’s surface meet
C. the soil conditions are stable D. many buildings are built
Question 2: Earthquakes often happen along ________________.
A. the east-coast of North America B. the east-coast of South America
C. the Pacific coast of Asia D. the coast of Australia

X. Read the following passage and choose the best answers.
Alligators and crocodiles are both native to America, and they both belong to the group of animals called crocodilians. They also look similar, and many people might even think they are the same animal. There are several differences that can be used to tell them apart.
American alligators are much more common than American crocodiles. Because they hate the cold, alligators live in the southeastern part of the country usually in freshwater lakes and swamps. Their skin is dark with bright stripes and spots of yellow. They eat almost anything they can catch, including fish, birds, and, occasionally people! Until 1970, it was legal to hunt them, but too many were killed for their skins. Now there are strict controls on hunting, and alligators are again numerous in many areas. There are also strict controls on the hunting of deer and other animals.
American crocodiles are a bit different. They are even more sensitive to cold, so they live only in the tropical climate of southern Florida. Most crocodiles prefer the saltwater of coastal areas. They are very shy, so people do not often see them in the wild. Their skin is grayish-green or brown, and their heads are longer and more triangle-shaped than that of an alligator. They eat only fish and other water animals. Crocodiles are listed as an endangered species, so they are also protected by US law.
1. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Alligators and Crocodiles: American Brothers B. Crocodilians: Similarities and Differences
C. The Animals of the Swamp D. Hunting Crocodiles: Terror in the Swamp

A. Water animals B. Fish C. Garbage D. People

C. Alligators and crocodiles both often hurt people. D. Alligators and crocodiles are both very numerous.
5. Which sentence does NOT belong in the reading?
A. They look similar too, so many people might even think they are the same animal.
B. Their skin is dark, with bright stripes and spots of yellow.
C. There are also strict controls on the hunting of deer and other animals.
