Soal Toefl Reading Practice Section 3

The Reading Comprehension section contains reading passages and questions about the passages. The questions are about information that is stated or implied in the passage and about some of the specific words in the passages. Because many English words have more than one meaning, it is important to remember that these questions concern the meaning of a word or phrase within the context of the passage.

Answer all questions about the information in a passage on the basis of what is statedor implied in that passage.

Read the following passage:The railroad was not the first institution to impose regularity onsociety, or to draw attention to the importance of precisetimekeeping. For as long as merchants have set out their wares at

Line daybreak and communal festivities have been celebrated, people(5) have been in rough agreement with their neighbors as to the time of

day. The value of this tradition is today more apparent than ever.Were it not for public acceptance of a single yardstick of time,social life would be unbearably chaotic: the massive daily transfersof goods, services, and information would proceed in fits and

(10) starts; the very fabric of modern society would begin to unravel.

Example IWhat is the main idea of the passage?

A. In modern society we must make more time for our neighbors.B. The traditions of society are timeless.C. An accepted way of measuring time is essential for the smooth functioning of

society.D. Society judges people by the times at which they conduct certain activities.The main idea of the passage is that societies need to agree about how time is measured in order to function smoothly. Therefore, you should choose answer C.

Example IIIn line 6, the phrase "this tradition" refers to

A. the practice of starting the business day at dawn

Page 5: Example TOEFL.docx

B. friendly relations between neighborsC. the railroad's reliance on time schedulesD. people's agreement on the measurement of timeThe phrase "this tradition" refers to the preceding clause, "people have been in rough agreement with their neighbors as to the time of day." Therefore, you should choose answer D.

Now begin work on the questions.PRACTICE PASSAGE

The Alaska pipeline starts at the frozen edge of the Arctic Ocean.It stretches southward across the largest and northernmost state inthe United States, ending at a remote ice-free seaport village nearly

Line 800 miles from where it begins. It is massive in size and extremely(5) complicated to operate.

The steel pipe crosses windswept plains and endless miles ofdelicate tundra that tops the frozen ground. It weaves throughcrooked canyons, climbs sheer mountains, plunges over rockycrags, makes its way through thick forests, and passes over or

(10) under hundreds of rivers and streams. The pipe is 4 feet in diameter,and up to 2 million barrels (or 84 million gallons) of crude oil canbe pumped through it daily.Resting on H-shaped steel racks called "bents," long sections ofthe pipeline follow a zigzag course high above the frozen earth.

(15) Other long sections drop out of sight beneath spongy or rockyground and return to the surface later on. The pattern of thepipeline's up-and-down route is determined by the often harshdemands of the arctic and subarctic climate, the tortuous lay of theland, and the varied compositions of soil, rock, or permafrost

(20) (permanently frozen ground). A little more than half of the pipelineis elevated above the ground. The remainder is buried anywherefrom 3 to 12 feet, depending largely upon the type of terrain andthe properties of the soil.One of the largest in the world, the pipeline cost approximately

(25) $8 billion and is by far the biggest and most expensive constructionproject ever undertaken by private industry. In fact, no singlebusiness could raise that much money, so 8 major oil companiesformed a consortium in order to share the costs. Each companycontrolled oil rights to particular shares of land in the oil fields and

(30) paid into the pipeline-construction fund according to the size of its

Page 6: Example TOEFL.docx

holdings. Today, despite enormous problems of climate, supplyshortages, equipment breakdowns, labor disagreements, treacherousterrain, a certain amount of mismanagement, and even theft, theAlaska pipeline has been completed and is operating.
