Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million
homes (23) as a result of an earthquake in Tokyo in
1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when the people
of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves
were (24) as soon as the earth began to shake. As
a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The
fire engines were prevented (25) to help because many
of the roads had cracked open. It was (26) to use fire
fighting equipment as most of the water pipes had burst.

Consequently, over ninety percent of the damage was caused by fire rather than by the collapse of
buildings. Most of the people (27) were not killed in the earthquake itself but in the fires
which followed.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions 28 to 32.

Today, I’d like to begin a discussion on the problem of the

heating up of the earth. First, we’ll touch on the relationship
between fluorocarbons and the ozone layer. You probably
remember that the ozone layer is the protective shield around the
earth. It is important to all life, because it filters out harmful
ultraviolet light from the sun. Ozone itself, a form of oxygen, is
regularly destroyed by natural chemical processes.

The problem now is that too much of the ozone layer is being
destroyed. Scientists suspect that certain chemicals, such as fluorocarbons, are contributing to the depletion
of the ozone layer. And how do we use fluorocarbons? The most common uses are in spray cans and cooling
systems. The chemical pollution from these fluorocarbons can account for some of the ozone losses that
have been reported. There are, however, new studies linking the sun itself to the depletion of the ozone
layer. We’ll go into that new study next time.
Question 28: The speaker is very likely to be .
A. a doctor B. a mechanic C. a chemist D. a professor

Question 29: The speaker’s main topic is .

A. ultraviolet light and fluorocarbons B. fluorocarbons and the ozone layer
C. air-conditioning systems D. the use of spray cans
Question 30: The phrasal verb filters out from the 1st paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. prevents B. produces C. collects D. releases

Question 31: What is the most important function of the ozone layer?
A. To protect the earth B. To produce fluorocarbons
C. To shield the sun D. To destroy natural chemicals
Question 32: What will the speaker probably discuss next time?
A. How air conditioners produce fluorocarbons B. Harmful effects of ultraviolet light
C. The sun as a cause of ozone layer depletion D. The make-up of the ozone layer
