Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below.

Living in the Ice Age

I am a scientist and I arrived here in Antarctica three months ago in December. The temperature is cold but not unpleasant yet. Since arriving, I have worked with about 60 other people getting everything ready for the Antarctica winter. It's been a lot of hard work, but it was fun too. However, a few days ago the ship left, taking most of the staff with it, and it won't be back to fetch us until next December. So the hardest thing to get used to is that there are now just fourteen of us because I'm used to working in a large company.

I'm living on the same work station I was on ten years ago. It was new then and it's still in good condition and unchanged. The dried food we get is also the same - you forget what real food tastes like after a few weeks. The people working here with me are all different from then, but I'm always happy getting to know new people. Ten years ago, we were all able to send faxes to friends and family once a month, but today we can send emails and talk on the phone so we don't feel so far away.

What is the job of the writer?

  • A doctor
  • A scientist
  • An engineer
  • A teacher

When did the writer arrive in Antarctica?

  • One month ago
  • Two months ago
  • Three months ago
  • Four months ago

The word "hardest" in the passage is CLOSEST in meaning to _____.

  • most difficult
  • most interesting
  • most expensive
  • most boring

Ten years ago, what was the writer able to send his friends and family once a month?

  • Food
  • Emails
  • Phone
  • Faxes

What is the writer's main purpose of writing the passage?

  • To complain about his life in Antarctica
  • To make life in Antarctica better
  • To describe his own experiences in Antarctica
  • To ask people to work in Antarctica

Read the passage and choose the best answer for each blank.

Weather

Weather influences the lives everyone. The climate of any country depends on its position on earth, its distance from the sea and how high it is. In countries have sea all around them, like Britain and New Zealand, winters are mild and summers are cool. There is not a huge change from one season to another.

Countries near the equator have hot weather all year with some rain, except in deserts where it rains very little. Above the desert there are no clouds in the sky, so the heat of the sun can warm the ground during the day, but it gets very cold at night.

People are always in unusual weather, and pictures of tornadoes, for example, are shown on television. Strong winds and rain can cause a lot of damage to buildings, and in spite of modern methods of weather forecasting they can still surprise us.
