(A) READING
Q-1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

A big alligator floated in the green water of a canal in Florida. Only its bulging eyes and bumpy
nostrils stuck up above the surface.
Under the water the alligator’s stubby legs paddled slowly. Its long, powerful tail swished gently back
and forth, pushing the ten-foot (3m) gator silently forward. Then with a burst of power, the gator
rose up in the water. Its tail whipped hard to the right. This threw its body into a curve and made a
big wave in the water. The gator’s mouth opened wide as the wave swept an empty soft drink can
into it As its teeth crunched down on the metal, the alligator sank back down into the water. Still
crunching, it paddled towards the shore.

“There goes old Trash Masher,” said Forest Ranger George White as he lifted his canoe paddle out
of the water. His new helper Ranger Glenn Carlson also stopped paddling. Both men were on patrol
for US Forest Service in southern Florida. They watched the alligator crawling up onto the muddy
bank. Ranger George knew alligators well. It wasn’t unusual for an alligator to eat chunks of drifting
wood, floating cans and bottles and even rocks. He knew that junk helped grind up an alligator’s
food, which it swallows nearly whole. But this old female never seemed to get enough trash. She
attacked floating garbage with the same hunting skill that she would use on a turtle, flesh or water
bird.
