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 36 to 42. 
AFTERMATH OF AN OIL SPILL
In 1989, the oil tanker Exxon-Valdez ran aground on a reef in Prince William Sound in Alaska spilling 11 million gallons of oil. The spill fouled up about 1300 miles of shoreline and caused the death of some 300,000 birds. One of the most vibrant ecosystems on planet Earth was gravely affected by this horrendous disaster. 
Now, about twelve years later. journalists and television news reporters have returned to the scene to look for signs of lingering damage or alternatively of positive healing. It comes as no surprise that they report they have found both, although the balance still tips heavily in favor of damage. 
On the damage side, oily residues still continue to mar the beaches while traces of oil are still staining the waters off the coast. The once bountiful herring population is now drastically reduced, thus affecting the entire food web. Earlier, 2600 sea otters had perished and there are no signs that the sea otter will ever recover from this initial blow. Many bird species have also similarly not quite recovered and this includes species such as the cormorant, the guillemot, and the marbled murelet.
Equally serious, if not more so, reporters have discovered the presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in stream beds at concentration levels exceeding the maximum allowed by the state. If prompt action is not taken, these hydrocarbons will continue to harm and possibly kill young salmon for years to come. 
Human destinies have also been affected. The livelihood of fishermen has been seriously threatened and although in the days following the spill, they have successfully sued Exxon company for damages, they have yet to see a penny of the award. This is because Exxon is appealing against the award of US$5 billion. While waiting for the appeal to come through, bitterness continues to be rife among the fishermen. 
On the healing side, reporters have noted that the bald eagle has made complete recovery. The outlook also seems good for inter-tidal and sub-tidal communities.

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 43 to 50.
There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently linked to one another are earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation when they hit. However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them.
The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is the outer layer of the Earth. It is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates. There are a few enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid. As a result, the plates are in constant – yet slow – motion. The plates may move away from or toward other plates. In some cases, they collide violently with the plates adjoining them. The movement of the plates causes tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up. When it is released, an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only scientific instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they cause little harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to collapse. They may additionally injure and skill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change it appearance.
Since most of the Earth’s surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet’s oceans. Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water in the ocean. When this occurs, a tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all directions from the place where the earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousnads of kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This causes the tsunamis to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami – one more than ten meters in height – can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers of people.
Question 43: Which of the following statements does paragraph 1 support?
	A. A tsunami happens in tandem with an earthquake.
	B. The most severe type of natural disaster is an earthquake.
	C. Earthquakes cause more destruction than tsunamis.
	D. Earthquakes frequently take place after tsunamis do.
Question 44: The word “it” in bold in paragraph 2 refers to _________.
	A. The core	B. The crust	C. The Earth	D. The mantle
Question 45: What is the passage mainly about?
	A. When earthquakes are the most likely to happen.
	B. What kind of damage natural disasters can cause.
	C. How earthquakes and tsunamis occur.
	D. Why tsunamis are deadlier than earthquakes.
Question 46: The word “adjoining” in bold in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
	A. residing	B. approaching	C. bordering	D. appearing
Question 47: The word “perceive” in bold in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
	A. detect	B. prevent	C. comprehend	D. locate
Question 48: Which of the following is true regarding the crust?
	A. It is the smallest of the Earth’s three layers.
	B. It is thicker on land than it is under the water.
	C. There many separate pieces that make it up.
	D. The mantle beneath it keeps it from moving too much.
Question 49: Based on the passage, what is probably true about tsunamis?
	A. They kill more people each year than earthquakes.
	B. They are able to move as fast as the speed of sound.
	C. They cannot damage ships sailing on the ocean.
	D. They can be deadly to people standing near shore.
Question 50: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 3 about earthquakes?
	A. How severe the majority of them are
	B. What kind of damage they can cause
	C. How often powerful ones take place
	D. How many people they typically kill
