PART 4 – READING COMPREHENSION

Text 1 (Number 46 – 50)
Mount Vesuvius, a volcano located between the ancient Italian cities of Pompeii and
Herculaneum, has received much attention because of its frequent and destructive eruptions. The
most famous of these eruptions occurred in A.D. 79.
The volcano had been inactive for centuries. There was little warning of the coming eruption,
although one account unearthed by archaeologists says that a hard rain and a strong wind had
disturbed the celestial calm during the preceding night. Early the next morning, the volcano poured
a huge river of molten rock down upon Herculaneum, completely burying the city and filling the
harbor with coagulated lava.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, cinders, stone and ash rained down on
Pompeii. Sparks from the burning ash ignited the combustible rooftops quickly. Large portions of the
city were destroyed in the conflagration. Fire, however, was not the only cause of destruction.
Poisonous sulfuric gases saturated the air. These heavy gases were not buoyant in the atmosphere
and therefore sank toward the earth and suffocated people.
Over the years, excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum have revealed a great deal about the
behavior of the volcano. By analyzing data, much as a zoologist dissects an animal specimen,
scientists have concluded that the eruption changed large portions of the area’s geography. For
instance, it turned the Sarno River from its course and raised the level of the beach along the Bay of
Naples. Meteorologists, scientist that deal with the atmosphere and its phenomena, including
weather and climate studying these events have also concluded that Vesuvius caused a huge tidal
wave that affected the world’s climate.
In addition to making these investigations, archaeologists have been able to study the
skeletons of victims by using distilled water to wash away the volcanic ash. By strengthening the
brittle bones with acrylic paint, scientists have been able to examine the skeletons and draw
conclusions about the diet and habits of the residents. Finally, the excavations at both Pompeii and
Herculaneum have yielded many examples of classical art, such as jewelry made of bronze, which is
an alloy of copper and tin. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius and its tragic consequences have
provided everyone with a wealth of data about the effects that volcanoes can have on the
surrounding area. Today, volcanologists can locate and predict eruptions, saving lives and preventing
the destruction of other cities and cultures.

Text 2 (Number 51 – 55)

Conflict had existed between Spain and England since the 1570s. England wanted a share of
the wealth that Spain had been taking from the lands it had claimed in the Americas.
Elizabeth I, Queen of England, encouraged her staunch admiral of the navy, Sir Francis Drake,
to raid Spanish ships and towns. Though these raids were on a small scale, Drake achieved dramatic
success, adding gold and silver to England’s treasury and diminishing Spain’s supremacy.
Religious differences also caused conflict between the two countries. Whereas Spain was
Roman Catholic, most of England had become Protestant. King Philip II of Spain wanted to claim the
throne and make England a Catholic country again. To satisfy his ambition and also to retaliate
against England’s theft of his gold and silver, King Philip began to build his fleet of warships, the
Spanish Armada, in January 1586.
Philip intended his fleet to be indestructible. In addition to building new warships, he
marshaled 130 sailing vessels of all types and recruited more than 19,000 robust soldiers and 8,000
sailors. Although some of his ships lacked guns and others lacked ammunition, Philip was convinced
that his Armada could withstand any battle with England.
The martial Armada set sail from Lisbon, Portugal, on May 9, 1588, but bad weather forced it
back to port. The voyage resumed on July 22 after the weather became more stable.
The Spanish fleet met the smaller, faster, and more maneuverable English ships in battle off
the coast of Plymouth, England, first on July 31 and again on August 2. The two battles left Spain
vulnerable, having lost several ships and with its ammunition depleted. On August 7, while the
Armada lay at anchor on the French side of the Strait of Dover, England sent eight burning ships into
the midst of the Spanish fleet to set it on fire. Blocked on one side, the Spanish ships could only drift
away, their crews in panic and disorder. Before the Armada could regroup, the English attacked
again on August 8.
Although the Spaniards made a valiant effort to fight back, the fleet suffered extensive
damage. During the eight hours of battle, the Armada drifted perilously close to the rocky coastline.
At the moment when it seemed that the Spanish ships would be driven onto the English shore, the
wind shifted, and the Armada drifted out into the North Sea. The Spaniards recognized the
superiority of the English fleet and returned home, defeated.

Text 3 (Number 56 – 60)

Before the grass has thickened on the roadside verges and leaves have started growing on the
trees is a perfect time to look around and see just how dirty Britain has become. The pavements are
stained with chewing gum that has been spat out and the gutters are full of discarded fast food
cartons. Years ago I remember travelling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bags, discarded
bottles and soiled nappies at the edge of every road. Nowadays, Britain seems to look at least as
bad. What has gone wrong?
The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lot longer than
before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in the undergrowth for years; a
semi-permanent reminder of what a tatty little country we have now.
Firstly, it is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These will take
anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot. However, it is not as if there is no solution to this. A few
years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrier bags and in three months
reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, Michael Meacher attempted to introduce a
similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industry protested, of course. However, they need not
have bothered; the idea was killed before it could draw breath, leaving supermarkets free to give
away plastic bags.
What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined initiative, both individual and
collective, before it is too late. The alternative is to continue sliding downhill until we have a country
that looks like a vast municipal rubbish tip. We may well be at the tipping point. Yet we know that
people respond to their environment. If things around them are clean and tidy, people behave
cleanly and tidily. If they are surrounded by squalor, they behave squalidly. Now, much of Britain
looks pretty squalid. What will it look like in five years?
