She knows what to do when students are being lazy and not doing their work. She is good at explaining the English language because she is very smart. She’s very caring and always helps students who are worried about exams. She takes the time to make them feel better. We have a month of class left, and I’m sad about it ending. I love Mrs. Izabella.

Directions: Read this news and answer the questions. (Items 13-15) The countries of West Asia and North Africa urgently need to reconsider their development policies in the dry areas in light of rapidly increasing environment decline and a swiftly eroding natural resource base. This was the conclusion reached by participants in a seminar co-sponsored by the World Bank’s Economic Development Institute, the Arab Organization for the Agriculture Development and the International Center for Agriculture Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) at ICARDA headquarters in Syria recently.Across the region, precious natural resources in the rain-fed areas, including water, forests, rangelands and fertile soil, are being wasted or destroyed for the sake of short-term economic development. Planners have taken little account of the long-term national importance of these resources, and few governments have considered the costs of environmental degradation. While few statistics exist for West Asia and North Africa, the example of nearby Ethiopia is sobering: according to the World Bank, the annual cost of deforestation there is between 6 and 9% of the gross national product. Soil lost through erosion or salination, forests cleared, and water tables depleted today cannot be restored without incurring expense few countries – developed and developing – can afford.
13. From the second paragraph of the passage, it can be concluded that ______________. 1) The areas of West Asia and North Africa are being destroyed by the environment 2) The areas of East Asia and North Africa are being destroyed by the environment 3) There is more land and forest destruction in Ethiopia than in any other part of the world4) the natural resources in the regions of West Asia and North Africa are being misused 5) the countries of West Asia and North Africa cannot be developed without the help of a few countries
14. The expression “in light of” in the first paragraph means ___________. 1) without thinking of2) in consideration of 3) without fear of 4) incompletion of 5) the annual cost of
15. The main factor influencing the restoration of the natural resources in West Asia and North Africa is ______________. 1) time limit 2) statistical records3) adequate budget 4) geographical locations 5) precious natural
Reading Comprehension Part 2 Test blueprint
Direction: Read the following educational article to answer questions 21-25“Self-Directed Learning”The 21st century has brought unprecedented change in allspheresof our lives, creating a need for continuous learning and re-learning. It is now essential that learners be given an opportunity to develop a broader repertoire of skills, attitudes, and approaches in their formal educational experiences to prepare them for lifelong learning. Gaining competence in the traditional school subjects is no longer enough; there is now an urgent need to develop and practice skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, resource identification, as well as attributes such as curiosity, initiative, and acceptance of responsibility for one's own learning. All of these skills and attributes are incorporated in the characteristics of a highly self-directed learner. The Critical Role of the Learning Facilitator Twenty-first century learners will need to become highly self-directed learners – equippedto effectively continue to address their learning needs throughout their lives. The role of the teacher as facilitator in designing and using instructional strategies which enable students effectively to direct their own learning is essential in enhancing Self-Directed Learning (SDL). Teachers, professors, and teacher trainers need to become learning facilitators, moving away from classroom approaches in which their students are merely passive recipients of the knowledge of others.The traditional lecture reinforces the view that learning means absorbing information and repeating it, while it has been shown that having students take a more active part in the learning process is a much more effective teaching strategy. If we can successfully strengthen the SDL propensities and abilities of students, specifically in teacher education, these prospective teachers will be better prepared to be lifelong, self-directed learners and also more able to equip students with these skills at school level.
