READING TEST 1

I. Complete the sentences with the correct form of the words in parentheses.

Smart trash cans to reduce waste

Trash (1)has been (be) a problem in big cities for a long time. Trash cans in busy areas get full very quickly, but there
(2) is not enough (not be / enough) space on the sidewalk for bigger ones.

In 2015, the city of Santa Marta, Colombia (3) introduced (introduce) “smart” trash cans called Clean Cubes. The
trash cans contain a tiny computer. When the trash can (4) gets (get) full, the computer sends a message to an app.
Then the app tells a driver to empty the trash can. Drivers don’t have (5)to check (check) every trash can, so they can
work more quickly.

Since 2015, the trash cans (6) have saved (save) the city money. The technology is becoming more popular and
several other cities (7) have already bought (already / buy) Clean Cubes. We asked a Facilities Manager to tell us
more.

How long (8) have you had (you / have) these trash cans at your college?

We (9) started (start) using them last month, so it’s early days. However, we (10) have already reduced (already /
reduce) the amount of time we spend collecting trash.

Do you have any advice about Clean Cubes?

Well, this is one of the simplest systems I (11) have ever used (ever / use), but if the drivers didn’t pay attention to
the app, the system (12) Wouldn’t word (not work). You have to (13) make (make) sure the drivers understand this.

Do you think every college should (14) buy (buy) Clean Cubes?

Definitely! They are (15) extremely (extreme) easy to install and they make a big difference.

II. Read the text. Are the sentences true (T), false (F), or is there not enough information to decide (N)?

Discover Canada’s Bay of Fundy


If you’re looking for somewhere exciting to visit, why not try the Bay of Fundy? Fundy is on the Atlantic coast of
North America, between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in Canada. The Fundy National Park opened in 1948 and it
protects about 130 kilometers of coastline.

The scenery in this area is extremely beautiful, with incredible cliffs, caves, and beaches. The Bay of Fundy is famous
for its tides – the way the seawater in the bay rises and falls each day. The waves here can make the seawater rise up
to sixteen meters in six hours. The tides here are much higher than those along the rest of the Atlantic coast.

The Fundy National Park offers lots of activities to keep visitors busy. The bay has a large population of whales and
dolphins, so it’s a great place to watch these beautiful animals. Visitors can also play golf or tennis, try water sports
like kayaking, or go hiking in beautiful hills, forests, and valleys. You could also explore the national park by car. There
are some great towns and attractions along the Fundy Coastal Drive and you definitely won’t have to worry about
traffic jams!

One place everyone should visit is Hopewell Rocks. These huge rocks have been here for millions of years and, over
time, the wind and the ocean have changed their shape. In fact, this effect is still happening today: in 2016, one of
the biggest rocks broke in half, damaging a walking path and changing the landscape. You can learn more about the
rocks and the natural history of the area at the visitor’s center or go on a tour with one of our expert guides.
According to local stories, the rocks were once men, and angry whales turned them into stone!

If you are interested in birds, August is the best time to visit Fundy. During this month, thousands of birds stop here
on their journey south for the winter. In early August, visitors can also enjoy the St. Stephen’s Chocolate Festival – if
you love chocolate, this is the festival for you!
