Mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Question 11: More than a mile of roadway has been blocked with trees, stones and other debris, _____ the explosion.

A. causing

B. caused by

C. which caused by

D. which caused

Read the following passage. Choose and circle the correct answer A, B, C or D. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) research, the emission from car exhausts causes more deaths than road accidents. The research found that one third of all harmful air pollution was caused by road transport, and that long term exposure to pollution caused estimated 21,000 premature deaths a year across the three countries, France, Austria and Switzerland. This is much higher than the 9,947 who died that year as a result of road accidents. In addition, the researchers calculated that the car fumes caused 300,000 extra cases of bronchitis in children, and 15,000 extra hospital admissions for heart disease made worse by the pollution. They calculated that the cost of dealing with all this was 27 billion Euros per year. A lot of money goes into making cars safer, but not as much is spent solving air pollution. 1. What is the main idea of the text? A. Pollution and road accidents B. Bad effects of car exhausts C. the necessity of making cars safer D. The toll of road accident 2.According to the passage,.......................................................... A. air pollution causes more deaths than road accidents. B. road accidents cause more deaths than car fumes. C. long term exposure to pollution is harmless. D. car fumes cause one third of premature deaths. 3. Which of the following is not true? A. Car exhausts cause bronchitis and heart disease. B. Car fumes cause one third of all harmful air pollution. C. Each year road accidents cause 9,947 deaths. D. More people died as a result of air pollution than road accidents. 4.The money spent solving air pollution is ......................................................... A. 27 billion Euros per year B. not able to calculate C. more than making cars safer D. less than to make car safer 5. Which of the following is not mentioned as the bad effect of air pollution? A. Causing illness in children B. Causing premature deaths C. Causing road accidents D. Causing heart diseases

Millions of pound worth of damage has been caused by a storm which passed across the north of England last night. The River Ribble burst ít banks after heavy rain

People were rescued from the floods by the firemen, who received numerous calls for help. Wind speeds reached ninety miles an hour in some places. Roads were blocked by fallen trees and electricity lines were brought down, leaving thousands of homes without electricity. "Everything possible is being done to get the situation back to normal," a spokesman said

Earthquakes

Earthquakes are among the deadliest natural disasters, causing the largest numbers of casualties, the highest death tolls, and the greatest destruction. In 1556 in China, the deadliest earthquake in history killed 830,000 people. But many other earthquakes have caused the deaths of more than 100,000 people, and it is not unusual, even in modern times, for an earthquake death toll to reach 20,000 to 30,000 people with hundreds of thousands left homeless and with countless injured. The floodwaters of the 2004 tsunami in Sumatra, which killed over 200,000 people, were caused by a catastrophic earthquake.

Task 1: Match a word in column A with its definition in column B, writing the answer in each blank.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.

Biological diversity has become widely recognized as a critical conservation issue only in the past two decades. The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests, which are the ecosystems with the highest known species diversity on Earth, has awakened people to the importance and fragility of biological diversity. The high rate of species extinctions in these environments is jolting, but it is important to recognize the significance of biological diversity in all ecosystems. As the human population continues to expand, it will negatively affect one after another of Earth's ecosystems. In terrestrial ecosystems and in fringe marine ecosystems (such as wetlands), the most common problem is habitat destruction. In most situations, the result is irreversible. Now humans are beginning to destroy marine ecosystems through other types of activities, such as disposal and runoff of poisonous waste; in less than two centuries, by significantly reducing the variety of species on Earth, they have irrevocably redirected the course of evolution.

Certainly, there have been periods in Earth's history when mass extinctions have occurred. The extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by some physical event, either climatic or cosmic. There have also been less dramatic extinctions, as when natural competition between species reached an extreme conclusion. Only 0.01 percent of the species that have lived on Earth have survived to the present, and it was largely chance that determined which species survived and which died out.

However, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the human species is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment. In fact, there is wide agreement that it is the rate of change humans are inflicting, even more than the changes selves, that will lead to biological devastation. Life on Earth has continually been in flux as slow physical and chemical changes have occurred on Earth, but life needs time to adapt-time for migration and genetic adaptation within existing species and time for the proliferation of new genetic material and new species that may be able to survive in new environments
According to the passage, natural evolutionary change is different from changes caused by humans in that changes caused by humans___________.

A. affect fewer ecosystems

B. are occurring at a much faster rate

C. are reversible

D. are less devastating to most species

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
