Reading Comprehension
Posted on May 12, 2013
1. 1. Question
Critical reading is a demanding process. To read critically, you must slow down your reading

critical reading is a slow, dull, but essential process.

readers should get in the habit of questioning the truth of what they read.

critical reading requires thoughtful and careful attention.

the study of mathematics can be both beneficial and confusing.

the study of mathematics is more important than other disciplines.

the study of mathematics is dangerous.

5. 5. Question
It is well known that the world urgently needs adequate distribution of food, but adequate
distribution of medicine is just as urgent. Medical expertise and medical supplies need to be
redistributed throughout the world so that people in emerging nations will have proper
medical care.

medical care.

the majority of the people in the world have no medical care.

not enough doctors give time and money to those in need of medical
care.

medical resources in emerging nations have diminished in the past few

years.

6. 6. Question
It is a myth that labor shortages today center mostly on computer jobs. Although it is true that
the lack of computer-related skills accounts for many of the problems in todays job market,
there is a lack of skilled labor in many other fields. There is a shortage of uniformed police
officers in many cities and a shortage of trained criminal investigators in some rural areas.
These jobs may utilize computer skills,
but they are not essentially computer jobs.
This paragraph best supports the statement that:
o

people with computer skills are in demand in police and criminal

investigator jobs.

trained criminal investigators are often underpaid in rural areas.

there is a shortage of skilled workers in a variety of fields, including

police work.

unemployment in computer-related fields is not as widespread as some

people think.

7. 7. Question
There are no effective boundaries when it comes to pollutants. Studies have shown that toxic
insecticides already banned in many countriesare riding the wind from countries where
they remain legal. Compounds such as DDT and toxaphene have been found in remote
places like the Yukon and other Arctic regions.
This paragraph best supports the statement that:
o

more pollutants find their way into polar climates than they do into
warmer areas.

studies show that many countries have ignored their own anti-pollution
laws.

bans on toxins have done little to stop the spread of pollutants.

DDT and toxaphene are the two most toxic insecticides in the world.

8. 8. Question
Human technology began with the development of the first stone tools about two and a half
million years ago. In the beginning, the rate of development was slow, and hundreds of
thousands of years passed without many technological changes. Today, new technologies
are reported daily on television and in newspapers.
This paragraph best supports the statement that:
o

in todays world, new technologies are constantly being developed.

stone tools were not really technology.

stone tools were in use for two and a half million years.

there is no way to know when stone tools first came into use.

9. 9. Question
Close-up images of Mars by the Mariner 9 probe indicated networks of valleys that looked
like the stream beds on Earth. These images also implied that Mars once had an
atmosphere that was thick enough to trap the suns heat. If this is true, something must have
happened to Mars billions of years ago that stripped away the planets atmosphere.
This paragraph best supports the statement that:
o

Mars is closer to the sun than Earth is.

Mars once had a thicker atmosphere than Earth does.

Mars now has little or no atmosphere.

the Mariner 9 probe took the first pictures of Mars.

10. 10. Question

writing the letter. Do you want to request information, order a product, register a complaint, or

o
