Unsinkable Ship
Naval architects never claim that a ship is unsinkable, but the sinking of the passenger-and-car ferry Estonia in the Baltic surely should have never have happened. It was well designed and carefully maintained. It carried the proper number of lifeboats. It had been thoroughly inspected the day of its fatal voyage. Yet hours later, the Estonia rolled over and sank in a cold, stormy night. It went down so quickly that most of those on board, caught in their dark, flooding cabins, had no chance to save themselves: Of those who managed to scramble overboard, only 139 survived. The rest died of hypothermia before the rescuers could pluck them from the cold sea. The final death toll amounted to 912 souls. However, there were an unpleasant number of questions about why the Estonia sank and why so many survivors were men in the prime of life, while most of the dead were women, children and the elderly.
One can understand from the reading that . . . . .
The lifesaving equipment did not work well and lifeboats could not be lowered
Design faults and incompetent crew contributed to the sinking of the Estonia ferry
139 people managed to leave the vessel but died in freezing water
Naval architects claimed that the Estonia was unsinkable
Most victims were trapped inside the boat as they were in their cabins

However, there were an unpleasant number of questions about why the Estonia sank and why so many survivors were men in the prime of life, while most of the dead were women, children and the elderly.
It is clear from the passage that the survivors of the accident . . . . .
Helped one another to overcome the tragedy that had affected them all
Were mostly young men but women, children and the elderly stood little chance
Helped save hundreds of lives
Are still suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder
Told the investigators nothing about the accident

However, there were an unpleasant number of questions about why the Estonia sank and why so many survivors were men in the prime of life, while most of the dead were women, children and the elderly.
According to the passage, when the Estonia sank, . . . . .
There were only 139 passengers on board
Few of the passengers were asleep
There were enough lifeboats for the number of people on board
Faster reaction by the crew could have increased the Estonia's chances of survival
All the passengers had already moved out into the open decks
Dolphins
Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them helping drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about dolphins, the more we realize that their society is more complex than people previously imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the community, as we do. Some scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language but it is much more probable that they communicate with each other without needing words. Could any of these mammals be more intelligent than man? Certainly the most common argument in favor of man's superiority over them that we can kill them more easily than they can kill us is the least satisfactory. On the contrary, the more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior when we destroy them.
It is clear from the passage that dolphins . . . . .
Don't want to be with us as much as we want to be with them
Are proven to be less intelligent than once thought
Have a reputation for being friendly to humans
Are the most powerful creatures that live in the oceans
Are capable of learning a language and communicating with humans

On the contrary, the more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior when we destroy them.
The fact that the writer of the passage thinks that we can kill dolphins more easily than they can kill us . . . . .
Means that they are better adapted to their environment than we are
Shows that dolphins have a very sophisticated form of communication
Proves that dolphins are not the most intelligent species at sea
Does not mean that we are superior to them
Proves that Dolphins have linguistic skills far beyond what we previously thought

One can infer from the reading that . . . . .
Dolphins are quite abundant in some areas of the world
Communication is the most fascinating aspect of the dolphins
Dolphins have skills that no other living creatures have such as the ability to think
It is not usual for dolphins to communicate with each other
Dolphins have some social traits that are similar to those of humans
Opera
Opera refers to a dramatic art form, originating in Europe, in which the emotional content is conveyed to the audience as much through music, both vocal and instrumental, as it is through the lyrics. By contrast, in musical theater an actor's dramatic performance is primary, and the music plays a lesser role. The drama in opera is presented using the primary elements of theater such as scenery, costumes, and acting. However, the words of the opera, or libretto, are sung rather than spoken. The singers are accompanied by a musical ensemble ranging from a small instrumental ensemble to a full symphonic orchestra.

Has developed under the influence of musical theater
Is a drama sung with the accompaniment of an orchestra
Is not a high-budget production

Orchestras in operas can vary considerably in size
Musical theater relies above all on music
There is argument over whether the music is important or the words in opera
