Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
 People travel for a lot of reasons: Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others 
are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most 
European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
 Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for 
the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam 
spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in 
the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 
25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the 
same reason, sun!
 The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy’s 30,000 
hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and 
roadsides. Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit 
yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
 But there are signs that the area is getting more tourists than it can handle. The Mediterranean is 
already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it’s getting worse. The 
French can’t figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many 
places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
 None of this, however, is spoiling anyone’s fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year 
with tourists. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and 
seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the 
coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in 
Berlin, London, or Oslo.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
 While some forecasting methods had limited success predicting the 1997 El Nino a few months in 
advance, the Columbia University researchers say their method can predict large El Nino events up to 
two years in advance. That would be a boon for governments, farmers and others seeking to plan for the 
droughts and heavy rainfall El Nino can produce in various parts of the world.
 Using a computer, the researchers matched sea-surface temperatures to later El Nino occurrences 
between 1980 and 2000 and were then able to anticipate El Nino events dating back to 1857, using prior 
sea-surface temperatures. The results were reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature. The 
researchers say their method is not perfect, but Bryan Weare, a meteorologist at the University of 
California, Davis, who was not involved in the work, said it “suggests El Nino is indeed predictable.” 
“This will probably convince others to search around more for even better methods,” he added. The new 
method “makes it possible to predict El Nino at long lead times,” said lead author Dake Chen of 
Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. “Other models also use sea-surface 
temperatures, but they have not looked as far back because they need other data, which is only available 
for recent decades,” Chen said.
 The ability to predict the warming and cooling of the Pacific is of immense importance. The 1997 
El Nino, for example, caused an estimated $20 billion in damage worldwide, offset by beneficial effects 
in other areas, said David Anderson, of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts in 
Reading, England. The 1877 El Nino, meanwhile, coincided with a failure of the Indian monsoon and a 
famine that killed perhaps 40 million in India and China, prompting the development of seasonal 
forecasting, Anderson said.
 When El Nino hit in 1991 and 1997, 200 million people were affected by flooding in China alone, 
according to a 2002 United Nations report. While predicting smaller El Nino events remains tricky, the 
ability to predict larger ones should be increased to at least a year if the new method is confirmed, 
Anderson wrote in an accompanying commentary. El Nino tends to develop between April and June and 
reaches its peak between December and February. The warming tends to last between 9 and 12 months 
and occurs every two to seven years. Chen said the new forecasting method does not predict any major 
El Nino events in the next two years, although a weak warming toward the end of this year is possible.
