READING COMPREHENSION

Instruction: Read each paragraph or passage below and select the best answer for what is being
asked.
1. Boracay, the most famous beach in the Philippines, is also known as a blessed island. I have
never met anyone who has not been enthralled and fascinated when they visited Boracay.
The first time you set foot on its powder-like sand, you’ll surely feel lucky to be in a paradise
island. The moment you see its crystal pristine water, you’ll be so thankful you’re alive. Many
locals and foreigners go there again and again not only because of the breathtaking view but
also because to celebrate life and its blessings.
The best title for the above article is:
a. Famous Beach in the Philippines c. Boracay, a Blessed Island
b. The Beach of Boracay d. Why People Go to Boracay

2. Malaysia Airline Flight MH370’s disappearance is still under investigation. Many countries
joined in the search for what really happened and where the aircraft is now. The flight lost
contact with air traffic controllers about an hour after its take off. The weather was fine
when the aircraft was flying so it adds more theories about other possible reasons of the
aircraft’s fate. The oil slick spotted off Vietnam’s coast turned out to be fuel oil used in cargo
ships so it has nothing to do with the aircraft. Interpol also says the disappearance of the jet
plane has nothing to do with terrorist attack. More questions are adding to this quest and no
specific answer is given and proven yet.
The above selection supports the idea:
a. That Flight MH370 is somewhere under the sea
b. That Flight MH370’s disappearance is still a mystery

App Store. The game is extremely addictive and difficult so users strive harder to score
higher. Due to its intense popularity, the creator decided to remove it from the App Store.
Because of its millions of downloads, Nguyen claimed he was making $50,000 per day from
it. The demand of Flappy Bird made some gadgets owners to sell their devices with Flappy
Bird installed for twice or thrice their original price.
What is the best title for the above article?

it.

5. Mark Zuckerberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Facebook spoke with President Barack Obama to
discuss about internet privacy impositions by the U.S. government. Zuckerberg said, “The
Internet works because most people and companies do the same. We work together to
create this secure environment and make our shared space even better for the world. This is
why I’ve been so confused and frustrated by the repeated reports of the behavior of the
U.S. government. When our engineers work tirelessly to improve security, we imagine we’re
protecting you against criminals, not our own government. The U.S. government should be
the champion for the Internet, not a threat. It needs to be much more transparent about
what it’s doing, or people will believe the worst. I’ve called President Obama to express my
frustration over the damage the government is creating for all of our future. Unfortunately, it
seems like it will take a very long time for true full reform. So it’s up to us — all of us — to
build the Internet we want. Together, we can build a space that is greater and a more
important part of the world than anything we have today, but is also safe and secure. I’m
committed to seeing this happen, and you can count on Facebook to do our part.”
Why is Internet Privacy very important to all of us?
a. Because it is not safe to trust anyone with our online accounts.
b. Because nobody really owns the internet. It is a free space.
c. Because it protects and secures not only our online accounts but also our online
activities.
d. Because the government’s protection is not enough.
6. Search Engine Optimization a.k.a. SEO is vital for a website to stay successful for a long
time. The world of internet continues to evolve so website owners must stay in the game by

8. “In the Olympic Peninsula of northwest Washington State, a small town named Forks exists
under a near-constant cover of clouds. It rains on this inconsequential town more than any
other place in the United States of America. It was from this town and its gloomy,
omnipresent shade that my mother escaped with me when I was only a few months old. It
was in this town that I’d been compelled to spend a month every summer until I was
fourteen. That was the year I finally put my foot down; these past three summers, my dad,
Charlie, vacationed with me in California for two weeks instead.
It was to Forks that I now exiled myself – an action that I took with great horror. I detested
Forks. I loved Phoenix. I loved the sun and the blistering heat. I loved the vigorous,
sprawling city.” -Stephenie Meyer, “The Twilight Saga”

crying over the bright day that passed.” – Fehl Dungo – “Higher than the Rooftop”

Questions 84–92 are about the following passage. Free reviewer for all… arranged by Leonalyn
Mutia-Tayone When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually
news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly
anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in
1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing
how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as
bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in
more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals. Early artists drawing these
animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. THEY did not limit themselves to the
easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep
walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings
have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily
wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has
also damaged the images inside. Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light
would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely
recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after
it was discovered.
