Part Three: Reading (Items 31-45)

Choose the best answer.

Passage 1

New Delhi - If all the people waiting to have a toilet in their homes in India were to

form a queue, the line would have 774 million people and stretch to the moon, the non-profit

group WaterAid said in a report released on the eve of the UN World Toilet Day on

Thursday.

The study titled It's No Joke: The State of the World's Toilets 2015 highlights health

problems faced by 2.3 billion people across the world who do not have access to safe private

toilets. "Diarrhea is one of the three most common killers of young children globally, along

with pneumonia and malaria. Most of these deaths - 58% of them - could be prevented by

clean water, sanitation and good hygiene including hand washing with soap," the report said.

Cities in India have been growing at an incredible pace. Unserviced slums, combined

with a cultural preference for defecation in open spaces, mean the country has 774 million

people now waiting for household toilets. The report also ranked India first among countries

having the most people defecating in the open per km2.

The resulting health crisis is serious with more than 140,000 children under 5 dying

each year in India from diarrhea. 40% of all children have stunted growth and there are high

rates of maternal and newborn mortality.

31. The moon is mentioned in the study in order to _________.

1. tell the reader the distance between the moon and the earth

2. imply that the Indian populations is growing faster than any other country

3. make fun of Indian people who have no access to private toilets

4. make the reader feel how serious the problem being discussed is

5. convince the reader that the study has been scientifically conducted

32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

1. India‟s infant mortality rate tops other nations.

2. WaterAid‟s main mission is to improve the life of Indian people.

3. Indian culture is partly to blame for the high number of deaths from diarrhea.

4. According to the study, India‟s open space is shrinking considerably.

5. The number of Indian people lacking home toilets is likely to come down.

33. The word “safe” can best be replaced by _________.

1. sturdy 2. hygienic

3. secured 4. protected

5. sheltered

Passage 2

This year, Jennifer Lawrence topped the Forbes list of highest-paid actresses. The 25-

year-old gave her final performance as Katniss Everdeen, in Mockingjay Part 2, the last film

of the Hunger Games series. The world has watched Lawrence grow up on screen over the

years of the series. “I love being part of a film that can spark conversation,” Lawrence says.

“It‟s been such an incredible chapter in my life.”

The Oscar winner has also sparked conversation as an advocate for equal pay for

women and men in her industry. Lawrence wrote an online essay on the pay gap in

Hollywood, titled “Why Do I Make Less Than My Male Co-Stars?” Earlier in the year,

hackers released private Sony e-mails that revealed that she was paid less for acting in the

movie American Hustle than her male co-stars. She says she blamed herself for not being a

tougher negotiator. Since her essay went public, other actresses have come out protesting

their comparatively small paychecks.

Throughout her career, Lawrence has also worked to try to promote healthy body

images. When she took on the role of Katniss in the Hunger Games series, she refused to

appear unhealthy on camera. Though the book, written by Suzanne Collins, describes Katniss

as very thin, Lawrence did not waver in her commitment to maintaining her healthy, strong

body.

34. All the following adjectives apply to Jennifer Lawrence EXCEPT _________.

1. health-conscious 2. outspoken

3. aggressive 4. feminist

5. determined

35. According to the passage, it can be inferred that _________.

1. thanks to Lawrence‟ essay, she has become Hollywood‟s highest-paid actress

2. Lawrence‟s essay angered her colleagues who were paid less than her

3. Sony didn‟t want its e-mail messengers about payments to be made public

4. Lawrence was angry with her male co-stars in American Hustle for unequal pay

5. Lawrence‟s essay was accidentally made public without her consent

36. What message does the writer want to convey in the last paragraph?

1. Lawrence was not suitable for the role of Katniss because she wasn‟t thin enough.

2. The producers should have made Lawrence lose weight to make her healthier.

3. The series‟ writer wasn‟t pleased that Lawrence didn‟t make an effort to look thin.

4. Lawrence maintained her good health even though her role required her to look the

opposite.

5. Lawrence wants the public to remember her for her beautiful looks.

Passage 3

In 1911 the United States Postal Service (USPS) offered savings accounts to

customers too poor or too suspicious to bank elsewhere. The innovation followed the stock

market collapse and a run on banks in 1907. Immigrants flocked to the accounts: In 1917

some 70 percent of postal savings accounts were opened by newcomers, although those

groups made up only 14 percent of the population. By 1966, however, the service was

terminated because of a gradual decline in popularity and competition from traditional banks.

A January report by the USPS inspector general proposed bringing postal banking

back as a way to solve two problems: strengthen the independent agency‟s fragile finances

as well as provide banking services in communities that are notoriously underserved by the

financial sector. The report says that some 34 million households (a quarter of all American

families) do not have a bank account, and the average household in this group spends $2,412

a year on interest and fees when using other financial services. The Postal Service already

processes money orders, debit card transactions and international wire transfers.

The majority of post offices (59 percent) are in zip codes with zero or one bank

branch, and post offices are positioned to fill the gap: they are widespread, under-utilized and

could offer services without the high fees that traditional banks charge for low-balance

accounts. The inspector general concludes that postal banking could bring in an estimated

$8.9 billion a year.

37. The phrase „the independent agency‟ refers to the _________.

1. US federal government 2. US Postal Service

3. financial sector 4. inspector general

5. stock market

38. The passage mentions $2,412 spent by an average household a year probably in order to

_________.

1. support one of the reasons why postal banking should be revived

2. show that commercial banks charge excessive fees

3. reveal how a commercial bank earns its extra income 4. explain why some people don‟t have a bank account

5. show that banking services need to be improved

39. A community that is „underserved by the financial sector‟ _________.

1. is populated by poor people

2. is in a zip code ending with a zero

3. may not have a commercial bank nearby

4. does not welcome financial companies

5. has not received enough financial support from the State

40. Postal banking would be attractive to all of the following groups EXCEPT _________.

1. low-income Americans

2. foreign workers in the U.S.

3. those out of reach of a commercial bank

4. global investment banks

5. people with troubled financial history

Passage 4

(1) In a recent study, researchers asked 75,000 Chinese women ages 40 to 70 whether

they exercised when they were between 13 and 19 years old, and if so, how much they

exercised. The researchers also examined the women's general lifestyle habits, including

exercise, in adulthood. They then followed the women for almost 13 years, examining how

many of them died from cancer, cardiovascular disease and other causes. During the study,

5,282 of the women died, including 2,375 who died from cancer and 1,620 who died from

cardiovascular disease.

(2) The researchers found that the women in the study who did at least some exercise

as teens, up to 80 minutes weekly, had a 16 percent lower risk of death from cancer, and a 15

percent lower risk of dying from any causes over the 13-year study than the women who did

not exercise at all during adolescence. However, doing more exercise was not linked with any

additional benefit, in terms of longevity. The women who exercised for more than 80 minutes

weekly during their teen years had a 13 percent lower risk of dying from all causes during the

study period, compared with those who did not exercise in adolescence.

(3) "Our results support the importance of promoting exercise participation in

adolescence to reduce mortality in later life and highlight the critical need for the initiation of

disease prevention early in life," Sarah J. Nechuta said.

(4) The study also found that for women who exercised both when they were teens

and as adults, the risk of dying from any cause during the study was 20 percent lower than for

those who did not exercise at all. The former group‟s risk of dying from cardiovascular disease was 17 percent lower, and their risk of dying from cancer was 13 percent lower, than

women who did not exercise.

(5) While the study found an association, it is not clear whether exercising during

adolescence can actually cause lower mortality later in life. _________, multiple mechanisms

are likely involved in the link seen in the study, Nechuta said. "One potential mechanism is

that if you exercise as an adolescent, you may be more likely to exercise as an adult, and you

may be more likely to have healthy behaviors that then contribute to the reduced risk of

death," she told Live Science.
