SECTION C: READING 
I. Fill in each blank with ONE suitable word to complete the following passage. 
Maybe you recycle cans, glass, and paper. Do you know that nature recycles, too? One of the 
things that nature (62) .. is water. Water goes from oceans, lakes, and rivers into the air. Water falls 
from the air as (63).. or snow. Rain and snow eventually find their way back to the oceans. Nature’s 
recycling program for water is (64).. the water cycle. 
 The water cycle has four stages: storage, evaporation, precipitation, and run-off. Water on Earth 
gets stored (65).. oceans, lakes, rivers, ice, and even underground. Water goes from storage into the 
atmosphere by a process called evaporation. When water evaporates, it changes from a liquid (66).. a 
gas, called water vapor. Water vapor goes up into (67)... atmosphere. Water returns to the Earth as 
precipitation in rain or snow by changing into drops of water (68).. the air gets cold enough. Clouds are 
collections (69)..water droplets. Most precipitation falls into the oceans and goes right back into 
storage. 
 Water that falls on land always flows from (70).. places to low ones. This flow is called run-off. 
Water from land flows into streams. Streams join together to make (71).. and eventually the water flows 
into storage in the oceans. Then the water cycle starts all over again.

recognizable brands. This gives the product an imaginary added (75) .. which somehow convinces
