SECTIO N C : READING COM PREHENSION (3 points)
I. R ead th e passage below and choose the co rrect answ er (A, B, C o r D) to each of th e
questions. (1 point)
During most o f their lives, surge glaciers behave like normal glaciers travelling
perhaps only a couple o f inches per day. However, at intervals o f 10 to 100 years, these
glaciers m ove forward up to 100 times faster than usual. The surge often progresses along a
glacier like a great wave, proceeding from one section to another. Sub-glacial streams o f
meltwater m ight act as a lubricant, allowing the glacier to flow rapidly tow ard the sea. The
increasing w ater pressure under the glacier m ight lift it o ff its bed, overcoming the friction
between ice and rock, thus freeing the glacier, w hich rapidly slides downhill. Surge glaciers
m ight also be influenced by the climate, volcanic heat, or earthquakes. However, many o f
these glaciers exist in the same areas as normal glaciers, often almost side by side.
Some 800 years ago, A laska’s Hubbard Glacier advanced toward the sea, retreated,
and advanced again 500 years later. Since 1895, this 70-mile-long river o f ice has been
flowing steadily toward the G ulf o f Alaska at a rate o f approximately 200 feet per year. In
June 1986, however, the glacier surged ahead as m uch as 47 feet a day. Meanwhile, a
western tributary, called Valerie Glacier, advanced up to 112 feet per day. Hubbard’s surge
closed o ff Russell Fiord w ith a formidable ice dam, some 2,500 feet w ide and up to 800 feet
high, whose caged waters threatened the town o f Yakutat to the south.
About 20 similar glaciers around the G ulf o f Alaska are heading toward the sea. If
enough surge glaciers reach the ocean and raise sea levels, West Antarctic ice shelves could
rise o ff the seafloor and become adrift. A flood o f ice would then surge into the Southern
Sea. With the continued rise in sea level, more ice would plunge into the ocean, causing sea
levels to rise even higher, which in turn would release more ice and set in m otion a vicious
cycle. The additional sea ice floating toward the tropics would increase E arth’s albedo and
lower global temperatures, perhaps enough to initiate a new ice age. This situation appears
to have occurred at the end o f the last warm interglacial (the tim e betw een glaciations),
called Sangamon, when sea ice cooled the ocean dramatically, spawning the beginning o f
the Ice Age.
51. What is the main topic o f the passage?
A. The classification o f different types on surge glaciers
B. The causes and consequences o f surge glaciers
C. The definition o f a surge glacier
D. The history o f a particular surge glacier

A lot o f people like playing records as loudly as possible. The result is that the rest o f
the family and the neighbors often complain if they don’t like the music. One answer to this
problem is to wear headphones, but headphones are usually uncomfortable.
An armchair w ith a built-in record-player system has just been designed by a British
engineer, Stephen Court. The armchair looks like an ordinary arm chair w ith a high back,
however, each o f the two sides o f the chair has three loudspeakers inside to produce middle
and high sounds. Low sounds are produced by a pair o f loudspeakers in a hollow space
under the seat. Anyone who sits in the chair hears sounds coming from all round his/her
head.
Because we can’t tell the exact source from which sounds come, it doesn’t matter
whether they come from underneath or behind. It is the higher sounds coming from the sides
o f the chair that create a stereo effect. These sounds travel only a few inches to reach the
listener’s ears. Consequently, it takes only a little power to make the m usic sound very loud.
Only a small amount o f sound leaks out from behind the chair into the room to disturb
others.
71. Few people like playing records as loudly as possible.
72. If you don’t want to disturb other people in the family while you are listening to music,
you can wear headphones.
73. A British engineer has designed a table with a record-player system.
74. The armchair looks like a special one w ith a high back.
