READING COMPREHENSION
READING 1
THE DISAPPEARING MENHADEN
Most people have never heard of it, and they certainly have not eaten it in its original form, but the Atlantic Ocean
menhaden is the most important fish in the ocean. However, it is disappearing at an alarming rate. The east coast of
the United States once teemed with immense schools, some as many as a mile across, but the devastation of the
menhaden stocks over the last sixty years has led to severe dislocations in the oceans’ ecosystems. The decline of the
menhaden has had particularly disastrous effects on fish species that feed on it, on bird species that use it as a food
source, and on how clean the oceans are.
Menhaden are a small fish belonging to the haddock family, and they are not very palatable to humans, having a
foul, oily taste and consisting of many small bones. Commercial fishing of menhaden since the end of World War II has
primarily been for the production of feed for livestock, with ground-up fish used to make meal for chickens, pigs, and
cows. Companies use spotter planes to find large schools and direct fishing boats to the location. Catches have declined
almost forty percent since the 1960s and show no sign of leveling off or increasing. Unlike other species that are
protected by government quotas, menhaden are not, most likely because they are not a species consumed directly by
humans. This is unfortunate since the loss of the menhaden spells an eco-disaster of epic proportions.
Of principal importance are the many species of fish and other animals that feed on menhaden. They are the main
diet for bluefish and striped bass, and both species have shown a serious decline in numbers. The striped bass was once
the prized catch of the Chesapeake Bay area, but the specimens brought in by rod and reel now are weak sisters
compared to the past. Not only do they lack the bulk of their ancestors, but they are also dying at alarming rates. Fish
are not the only predators of menhaden, as birds also depend on them as a source of nourishment. Large colonies of
osprey all along the eastern seaboard have disappeared in recent years, with the numbers of nests and birds reduced
by fifty percent in some areas over the last ten years. There are similar statistics for loons in Chesapeake Bay.
The greatest threat from the loss of the menhaden is that the oceans have lost one of their great natural filterers.
Menhaden swim in massive schools with their mouths open, allowing water to flow through their gills, which serve to
absorb oxygen and grab plankton and other detritus from the water. They act like gigantic vacuum cleaners for the
ocean. The cleaner water allows sunlight to penetrate to greater depths, which stimulates plant life that harbors other
fish and shellfish and produces oxygen for the water. With the decline of the menhaden, this process is in serious
jeopardy. Chemical run-off from farms, lawns, and houses ends up in the oceans, increasing the nitrogen and phosphorus
levels in the water. Algae grow in great numbers in these conditions, block the sunlight, and deplete oxygen of the
water. In addition, the algae sink to the ocean floor and prevent shellfish and oxygen-producing plants from growing.
Entire coastal areas are lifeless, with the algae’s killing the fish. Menhaden reduce the levels of these chemicals, but now
that there are fewer menhaden, the algae have taken over.
The large companies that process menhaden disagree with the findings of environmental scientists. Since there is no
accurate way to count the amount of menhaden in the oceans, they claim that the fewer menhaden are a result of a
cyclical event and that the stocks will grow again in time. Yet, much of the menhaden catch consists of smaller fish,
often less than one year old. These fish have not had a chance to mature long enough to become reproductive, and
thus the commercial fishing companies are destroying future menhaden stocks in order to make a profit at the moment.
The largest companies have had to lay off many employees, and many of their vessels sit idle at the wharf. In the long
run, the menhaden will probably rebound once their numbers have reached the point where catching them is no longer
profitable. Hopefully, laws will soon be in place to protect them from their greatest predator, mankind.
menhaden: a large deep-bodied fish of the herring family
algae: plants that have no roots, stems, or leaves and grow in water or in other wet places
Question 61: According to paragraph 1, the Atlantic Ocean menhaden is ……………..

Did you know that if you want your pet cat to live as long as possible you should choose an ordinary female cat, keep a
close eye on her in spring and summer, and make sure that she is not black, or black and white? It has been discovered
that male cats wander further from home, and of the large number of cats killed on the roads in spring and summer, a
surprisingly high percentage are black or black and white.
Did you know, too, that domestic cats regard their owners as fellow members of the cat family and make many more
sounds to us than they do to other cats when living in groups? They have worked out that we communicate by sound –
and so learn a vocabulary we will understand to get their message over.
The way cats have learned to live with, and be looked after by, man, without losing their hunting and killing abilities or
their mental independence, is a good reason for studying them, some scientists say.
A study of the suburban cat in Barking in Essex showed that outside the home they adopted the same hunting and
exploring habits as wild cats. The female cats covered a territory limited to house and garden, while male cats travelled
over an area ten times as large.
Though many people think the opposite, a cat is very practical about defending its territory. Its attitude depends on its
confidence about the cat it faces, following the experience of its previous meetings. Females and young males often
hide when fierce adult males turn up on their territory.
Female cats seem to feel no tension between their affectionate relationships with humans and their life “in the wild”. It
is the male cats which occasionally show signs of anxiety indicating that they are suffering from strain.
71. You should keep a close eye on your pet cat in spring and summer means you ______.
A. not look at her B. keep her in the dark C. watch her carefully D. not let her see
72. Most of the cats killed on the roads are _________.
A. black B. white C. black and white D. black or black and white
73. Domestic cats look on their owners as _________.
A. other cats B. human beings C. female cats D. male cats
74. Female cats __________, according to a study of suburban cats in Banking.
A. stayed within the house and garden B. covered a larger territory than male cats
C. went further than the house and garden D. stayed in the house
75. In short, your pet cat should be _________.
A. male and black B. female and black and white
C. male and black or black and white D. female and black or black and white
76. Why do cats make a wider range of sounds when communicating with people?
A. They are used to doing this with other cats. B. They are taught to do so by their owners.
C. They are copying human behaviour. D. They wish to be considered human beings.
77. Why are domestic cats of special interest to scientists?
A. They are fierce and clever hunters. B. They have been domesticated for a very long time.
C. They have lost all traces of wild behaviour. D. They lead both wild and domesticated lives.
78. In what ways are wild cats and domestic cats alike?
A. They cover a wide territory. B. They tend to fight.
C. They hunt and explore. D. They like to be alone.
79. When on their own territory cats _________.
A. hide from all strange cats B. allow only familiar cats to cross.
C. chase larger cats. D. allow fierce cats to cross.
80. Compared with female cats, male cats tend to _________.
A. be mostly black or blaclk and white. B. show less affection to humans.
C. hunt more successfully. D. suffer more frequently from nervous strain.

ERROR RECOGNITION : Identify and correct 10 mitakes in this passage

WHAT A WASTE!
Every day, all over the world, unwanted waste is disposed of from both domestic and commercial resources, usually
with insufficient attention paid to the resulting problems. The increase in excess refuses and how to dispense with it has
become a major headache for the government and the environmental agencies.
One of the biggest drawbacks to landfill is the cost. In the past this was not the case as land was plentiful and
cheap in abandoned quarries and mines often being utilised. But by 2015, since space for approved and licensed landfills
will have been run out, viable alternatives to waste disposal have to be found. Another disadvantage is the environmental
impact made by the acids and hazardous chemicals that are leaked from the landfills. Older sites depended on these
substances are diluted naturally by rain but this often did not occur and surrounding agricultural land was affected and
livestock poisoned. Nowadays, more modern landfills use liners within the pits to contain any dangerous material and
the liquid is then collected, treated and discharged within the site themselves. But perhaps the most apparent annoyance
for the general public living in the immediate vicinity in the landfill is the nuisance that results from the traffic, the noise,
the dust and the unpleasant odours emanate from the site. Although no risks to human health have been verified,
symptoms such as headaches, drowsiness and exhaustion have been reported by people living close to landfills. These
may have been caused by toxic emissions from the site but they may be connected to the impact that living next to the
sites can bring on stress and anxiety.
