READING COMPREHENSION 3 In this section, you will read a number of passages. Each one is followed by 8 – 9 questions about it. Choose the one best answer, (A), (B), (C), (D), to each question. Then, on your answer sheet, find the number of the question and fill in the space that corresponds to the letter of the answer you have chosen. Fill in the space so the letter inside the oval cannot be seen. Answer all of the questions following a passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage. Passage 1 Do you want to increase your vocabulary? A good way to do this is to break long English words into smaller parts. These parts are called roots, prefixes, and suffixes. They have meanings that are easy to remember. In the word "transportation," the root is "port." This means "to carry." The prefix is "trans." This means "across." The suffix is "tion" This means the word is a noun. So, we could guess that transportation means something like "carrying across." This is close to the real meaning, "a carrying of things or people from one place to another. "Once you learn some of the common roots, prefixes, and suffixes, you can figure out the meanings of many other unfamiliar English words. 51. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage? A. You can better understand long words by dividing them into smaller parts. B. It's easier to remember long words than short words.
