A The movement of glaciers B Icebergs as a source of fresh water C Future water shortages D The future of the world's rivers Question 44: The word “arid” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to A anhydrous B fruitful C remote D distant Question 45: The word "it" in the first paragraph refers to A an iceberg that is towed B obtaining fresh water from icebergs C the population of arid areas D real life Question 46: According to the author, most of the world's fresh water is to be found in A oceans B rivers C glaciers D reservoirs Question 47: The word “currents” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to A pulls B waves C weather D flows of water Question 48: How are icebergs formed? A They break off from glaciers B Seawater freezes C Rivers freeze D Small pieces of floating ice converge Question 49: With which of the following ideas would the author be likely to agree? A Towing icebergs to dry areas is economically possible B Desalination of water is the best way to obtain drinking water C Using water from icebergs is a very short-term solution to water shortages D Icebergs could not be towed very far before they would melt Question 50: Which is the best place where the following sentence will most properly fit? "To corral them and steer them to parts of the world where they are needed would not be too difficult." A (A) B (B) C (C) D (D) Question 51: The word "that" in the last paragraph refers to A the volume B the water C the iceberg D the towing Question 52: What are the technical matters mentioned as the difficulty arising in the process of obtaining fresh water from the iceberg?

your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated Wood was a foundation of the economy Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain Secondly, wood was used as fuel for heating and cooking Thirdly, it was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder; and tannic acid, used for tanning leather The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well Iron at that time was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron Question
