Large, spiraling columns of air are known as tornadoes. During thunderstorms, when the
lower and higher atmospheres experience drastically different levels of humidity and
temperature, they develop. They have the potential to cause significant harm and devastation.
Not all tornadoes are the same. Size is not a limiting factor. Although some tornadoes
might cover an entire state, others can be as small as a few feet in diameter. Tornadoes extend
from the ground to the sky. The most hazardous ones often receive a rating of F5, with wind
speeds ranging from 261-318 miles per hour. They are so powerful that they can level entire
villages.
While tornadoes can strike anywhere on the globe, the central United States is home to a
particularly active tornado belt known as Tornado Alley. The low, flat states in the center of
the US, situated between the Appalachians and the Rocky Mountains, make up Tornado Alley.
Storm Alley is the most common place to see tornadoes, but in 1989, Bangladesh experienced
the worst documented storm, which claimed over 1,300 lives. Recently, enormous twisters
devastated the normally tornado-free state of Alabama.

The following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 34 to 40.
Numerous reasons motivate people to travel: Battlefields and religious sites attract some
visitors. Still others are in search of history or just want their photo taken in front of some
iconic landmarks. However, a sunny beach is what the majority of European visitors are
seeking. Because sunlight is so scarce in Northern Europe, people are willing to pay top dollar
and endure many hardships in exchange. City dwellers in places like Amsterdam, Copenhagen,
and London spend a favorable portion of winter in the dark due to the short days,
and they endure heavy rainfall for the majority of the year. Because of this, the Mediterranean
has long been a magnet for them. More than 25 million people go on vacation to the beaches
and resorts in the Mediterranean each summer. Thanks to the sun, they all arrive at the same
place.
The economies of Mediterranean nations receive a substantial windfall from the massive
crowds. The summer months saw a near-full house at Italy's 30,000 hotels. And thirteen million
people set up tents in parks, on beaches, and along highways throughout France. More people
go to Spain than any other country because of its extensive sandy beaches. There is one visitor
for every Spanish citizen among the 37 million that visit each year.
However, there are indications that the region is experiencing an overpopulation of
visitors. Among the world's oceans, the Mediterranean is among the dirtiest. It is becoming
worse as a result of the rise in tourism. The French don't know what to do with St. Tropez's
surrounding camping trash. Additionally, pollution makes swimming risky in many areas.
However, none of this dampens anyone's enjoyment. Annual tourism to the Mediterranean is
on the rise. Pure water, peace, and quiet are obviously not their motivations for going there.
They appear to enjoy busy beaches and are tolerant of road congestion. They are not concerned
with the pollution. The shoreline remains stunning, regardless of the water's cleanliness. In
contrast to sitting in the chilly rain in Oslo, Berlin, or London, this is preferable—so long as
the sun is shining.
Question 34: Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. The reason why people like travelling.
B. The population caused by mass tourism in The Mediterranean,
C. Tourists travel to the Mediterranean in winters.

Question 35: The word “extensive” in paragraph 2 means most nearly the same as_____
A. small B. tiny C. enormous D. hard
Question 36: The word “they” in paragraph 1 refers to_____
A. Amsterdam B. Copenhagen C. London D. City dwellers
Question 37: The word “congestion” in paragraph 3 opposite in meaning to_____
A. Crowding B. Uncrowded C. acquiring D. leaning
Question 38: According to the passage, which of the following might potentially detract from
the enjoyment of tourists visiting Mediterranean beaches and resorts?
A. Rainy weather B. Traffic jams C. Crowded buses D. Polluted water
Question 39: According to the passage, out of all the nations listed, which one has the most
tourists?
A. Greece B. France C. Spain D. Italy
Question 40: Which of the following could be inferred from the passage?
A. Historic religious sites are the primary motivation for European travel.
B. The majority of Europeans go on vacation because they long for a change of
scenery from their native chilly, gloomy, and wet weather.
C. The majority of European tourists go to popular landmarks so they may pose
for photos.
D. Most Europeans travel because they are curious about and drawn to other
people's ways of life and cultural practices.
