Part C: Reading Comprehension

Directions: In this part of the test you will read two passages. Each passage is followed by four questions. Answer tile questions by choosing the best choice (1),(2),(3), or (4). Then murk your answer sheet.

PASSAGE 1:

Efforts to explain how the pterosaurs became able to fly have led lo suggestions that they launched themselves by jumping from cliffs, by dropping from trees, or even by rising into light winds from the crests of waves. Each explanation has its difficulties.

The first wrongly assumes that the pterosaurs’ hind feet were similar to those of a bat and could serve as hooks by which the animal could hang in preparation for flight.

The second explanation seems unlikely because large pterosaurs could not have landed in trees without damaging their wings. The third calls for high waves to make flying possible. The wind that made such waves, however, might have been too strong for the pterosaurs to control their flight once airborne.

۹۳- What question is the passage mainly eonccrned with?

۱) What was the first bird?

۲) Did the pterosaurs ever exist?

۳) What made the pterosaurs be able to fly?

PASSAGE 2:

People who speak Swahili who want to communicate using a “compyuta”, which is the Swahili word for computer, arc unable to do so in their own language. It makes no difference that computers have huge hard drives and sophisticated software. They cannot operate in Swahili or other African languages, of which there are hundreds.

Soon, however, they may be able to. Linguists in Africa are working with information technology specialists to make computers operable to Africans who do not know any of the languages currently used on the Internet. Economics is bringing about this change. Microsoft sees a market for its software among Swahili speakers in East Africa. Google now has a search engine for speakers of Swahili in Kenya. Other software companies will probably soon develop products for African consumers. In addition to economics, there is another reason for making the computer accessible to Africans. Hundreds of African languages are dying out, and linguists view the computer as a way to save them. According to UNESCO estimates, 90 percent of the world’s 6,000 languages arc not on the Internet, and one language becomes extinct every day somewhere in the world. The hope is that computers can help save them.

۹۷- Which of the following is true about the Swahili people, according to the passage?

۱) They lack computer skills to enable them to use computers.

۲) They are not, willing to make use of the computer in their life.

۳) They speak a language they cannot communicate with through the computer.
