Part 2 : Read the following passages and choose the best answers to the comprehension questions
Environmental Activists
Paul Watson is an environmental activist . He is a man who believes that he must do something , not just talk about doing something . Paul believes in protecting endangered animals , and he protects them in controversial ways . Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very much . Other people think that he is a criminal .
On July 16 , 1979 , Watson and his crew were on his ship , the Sea Shepherd.
Watson and the people who worked on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean near
Portugal . However , they had a strange prey , instead of hunting for animals , their prey was a ship , the Sierra . The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra , ran into it and sank it . As a result , the Sierra never returned to the sea . The Sea Shepherd , on the other hand , returned to its home in Canada . Watson and his workers thought that they had been successful .
The Sierra had been a whaling ship which had operated illegally . The captain and crew of the Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling . Instead , they killed as many whales as they could , quickly cut off the meat , and froze it . Later they sold the whale meat in countries where it is eaten .
Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra . However , the commission did very little , and Paul became impatient . He decided to stop the Sierra and other whaling ships in any way that he could . He offered to pay $ 25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal ship , and he sank the Sierra . He acted because he believes that whales must be protected . Still , he acted without the approval of his government ; therefore , his actions were controversial .
Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist . Other men and women are also fighting to protect the Earth . Like Watson , they do not always have the approval of their governments , and like Watson , they become impatient .Yet , because of their concern for environment , they will act to protect it .
An environmental activist is someone who ……………….. .
A. does something to protect the earth . B. runs into whaling ships.
C. talk about protecting endangered species . D. is hero , like Watson .
When something is controversial , ……………..
A. everyone disagrees with it . B. everyone agrees with it .
C. people have different ideas about it . D. peole protect it .
The members of a ship’s crew are the people ………………..
A. who work on the ship . B. who work on airplanes .
C. on a ship , including the passengers . D. who own the ship .
The main idea of the first paragraph is …………………
Watson is a hero to some people .
Paul Watson is a controversial activist .
activists are people who do something .
Watson does not believe in talking .
The Sea Shepherd was hunting ………………..
A. the Atlantic Ocean . B. whales .
C. the Sierra . D. Portugal .
The Sierra did not return to the sea because ………………..
A. the whales ate it . B. it was sold in Portugal .
C. The Sea Shepherd sank it D. None is correct .
The author implies that Watson lives in …………………..
A. Portugal . B. a ship on the Atlantic C. The Sierra D. Canada
The Sierra were acting illegally because they were ………………….
A. not obeying international laws . B. whaling
C. whaling and selling whales . D. All are correct .
The main idea of paragraph three is …………………
the Sierra sold whale meat in some countries .
the people on the Sierra did not obey international laws .
the people on the Sierra killed as many whales as they could .
whaling is illegal according to international laws .
Watson ran into the Sierra because he ………………..
wanted to stop the ship’crew from whaling .
was impatient with the government’s actions .
wanted to protect the whales from the whalers .
All of the above are correct .
Part 3 : Read the article . Six sentences have been removed from the text . Choose from sentences A-G the one which best fits each gap 1-5 . There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use . There is an example (0) at the beginning .
They then re-checked the charts which had been carefully prepared to allow accuratelt for the increasing wind speeds during the climb- all trying to keep themselves occupied during that tense half-hour wait for the return of the reconnaissance machine .
The sheds where the aircraft were kept had been opened and the great machines were being manhanded out onto the tarmac .
This was splendid : no cloud to mar the photography .
We were all excited about this moment .
The vertical cameras were fitted and tested , air frames and engines were inspected and tested in every detail .
We might wait for days and weeks and not get another opportunity.
April the 3rd was the day we attempted to reach Mount Everest .
( 0 ) G The morning saw us all up and rushing about the bungalow at daybreak . We bumped down the nine miles of dusty track , each clutching a camera or one of the more delicate instruments to our chests in an endeavour to make our bodies absorb as many of the shocks from the bumpy track as possible .
The ground staff were already busy on our arrival . (1) _____The bottles of oxygen were carefully placed in their clips and connected to the system . (2)_____
Pilots and observers fussed around their equipment , trying on oxygen masks which they had tried on may times before , re-adjusting straps , electric leads and oxygen feed pipes that had already been adjusted to n nicety . (3)_____
There had been so much preparation for this flight , and there was still so much of the unknown about
it , that the crews could not help being slightly affected by the general excitement . Waiting is always unpleasant , and we were all relieved to see the reconnaissance machine diving down through the dust
haze . The Air Commodore who commanded it brought welcome news . Though he had been unable to climb above the dust , he had been able to see towards the mountains through the top of the haze and there was a cloudless sky . ( 4)______
We had promised not to attempt the flight if the wind exceeded 40 miles an hour , but this was the first time we had found the wind under 100 miles an hour . We worked out the implications and reckoned that , provided we did not spend more than fifteen minutes at the summit , we could get back inside our petrolendurance . ( 5 )_____

wonder whether or not to stay .
