Read the following passage about the Rio Grande and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Although not the longest river in America, the Rio Grande is one of the most important. But, unlike other
significant rivers, it is not used for shipping. In fact, oceangoing ships cannot navigate the waters. No, what
makes the Rio Grande so important is its location. Since 1846, it has been the official border of Texas and
Mexico.
Rio Grande Geography
The Rio Grande is either the fourth or fifth longest river system in North America. It all depends on how it
is measured. Because the river twists so much, it occasionally changes course. And these course shifts can cause
it to be longer or shorter. At its last official measure, the Rio Grande clocked in at 1,896 miles. The river starts
in Colorado and extends downward to the Gulf of Mexico. Downward is the best way of describing it too. Not
only does the river extend south, but it also starts in the mountains and gets lower and lower in elevation as it
extends to the Gulf.
Its name is Spanish for the "Big River", but the Rio Grande is actually known as Rio Bravo in Mexico.
"Bravo" translates as "furious", so the name makes sense. Because of its twists and turns, it certainly does seem
to be angrier than most rivers!
The Rio Grande Today
The Rio Grande today is mostly used as a source of drinking water. Sadly, much of the water has been
drained from the river. Parts of the river are almost dry! This is because people use more water from the river
than the river can get back from rain and other sources. Experts are working to correct this, though, with hopes
of restoring the river to its past strength. Today, the river is important as a source of water for Texans and
Mexicans. More important, it is a symbol of cooperation between two nations. Though borders like the Rio
Grande separate nations, they are also shared spaces. The Rio Grande is therefore a symbol of friendship and
peace between two peoples.
(Adapted from ReadTheory)
Question 23: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence?
A. The Rio Grande doesn't cater to shipping activities like other important rivers do.
B. Shipping is available on every river, including the Rio Grande.
C. The Rio Grande is an exception when it comes to shipping commodities.
D. The Rio Grande is not a significant river in shipping.
Question 24: The word "furious" in the passage can be replaced by _______.
A. satisfied B. angry C. strong D. dangerous

A. The Rio Grande is the longest river between Texas and Mexico.
B. The Rio Grande is primarily used for shipping and transportation.
C. The name "Rio Bravo" was named by Mexicans due to its twist.
D. The Rio Grande has never been used as a source of drinking water.
Question 26: The word restoring in the last paragraph is OPPOSITE in meaning to
A. constructing B. assembling C. erecting D. damaging
Question 27: The word its in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A. the river B. rain C. source of water D. symbol

Read the following passage about volunteer tourism and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 40.
The pristine beaches of Koh Rong have long drawn tourists seeking an authentic glimpse of Cambodia's
coastal life. Yet beneath the surface of this seeming paradise, a complex dynamic unfolds. Local
businesses, once thriving on traditional tourism, now navigate the rising tide of volunteer tourism - a
phenomenon reshaping the island's economic and social fabric.
In the narrow streets of the fishing village, 'volunteer houses' have proliferated at an unprecedented rate.
[I] These establishments, charging participants substantial fees for the privilege of teaching English or
conducting marine conservation work, generate revenue streams that bypass traditional community structures.
[II] Market vendors, whose daily income previously averaged $75, now report earnings below $45 as
volunteers, housed in all-inclusive compounds, rarely venture into local establishments. [III] Local restaurants
have adapted by offering international menus, though many struggle to attract volunteer residents who receive
meals within their compounds. [IV]
The marine conservation sector particularly exemplifies this shifting landscape. Professional dive
operators previously employed 45 local guides, paying certification fees exceeding $2,000 per person.
Currently, they maintain only 15 positions as volunteer programs offer free diving services. These programs
contribute valuable reef monitoring data, collecting over 1,000 marine species records annually. Local dive
masters, having invested years in certification and training, find their expertise commanding lower wages -
dropping from $60 to $35 per dive session in areas with high volunteer presence.
Cultural preservation initiatives reveal similar patterns. Traditional craft workshops, which once hosted
200 weekly visitors at $25 per session, now average 80 participants despite reducing fees to $15. While
volunteer programs record 300 weekly participants in craft activities, their standardized sessions run 30 minutes
compared to traditional three-hour workshops. Master craftsmen, whose techniques typically require two years
to master, observe volunteers teaching simplified versions learned in two-week orientations.
The education sector presents perhaps the most nuanced picture. Local schools receiving volunteer
teachers report improved English test scores, rising 25% on average. However, student performance fluctuates
by up to 40% with each teaching transition. Established language centers have reduced staff from twenty to
twelve instructors, as enrollment declined by 35% following the introduction of free volunteer-taught classes.
"We're seeing repeated adjustments in teaching methods," notes headmaster Chan, highlighting monthly
changes in classroom approaches.
Local authorities aim to turn the tide through regulatory frameworks, requiring volunteer organizations to
demonstrate measurable community benefits. Economic data shows $2 million invested in volunteer facilities in
2023, while traditional business revenue dropped 28%. Community surveys indicate 60% of local enterprises
have modified their business models, with 45% reporting reduced profitability despite these adaptations. Local
leaders fear the shift may cause irrevocable damage to the traditional economy and cultural practices on the
island.
