PROFICIENCY SECTION
PART III - READING COMPREHENSION
This section of the exam will test your ability to understand a text.
There are four reading passages, each followed by five questions about
the passage. You should read each carefully and then try to answer the
questions following the passage. If you do not know the answer at first,
you may read the passage again. However, do not spend too much time on
the passage or you will not be able to finish.
EXAMPLE
According to scientists, 70 percent of the earth's surface is covered by
water. This watery wilderness is the habitat of four out of every five
living things. To aid oceanographers in their exploration of the seas and
oceans of the world, scientists have been designing more and better
types of undersea vessels. These new vessels will help explore the seas
with greater safety and with more efficient tools and techniques.
1. What percentage of the earth's inhabitants live on land?
(A) 10 percent (C) 20 percent
(B) 70 percent (D) 50 percent
The correct answer is (C) 20 percent. If four out of every five living
things live in water, one of every five living things, or 20 percent must
live on land. Therefore, you have to mark (C) on your answer sheet.
