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 following questions from 31 to 36.
Motorists in China are experiencing a traffic jam from hell. Thousands of drivers have
been stuck in their cars for ten days on the Beijing–Tibet Expressway just outside the Chinese
capital. The congestion started on August 14th when roadworks began. The bad news is that
the chaos will continue for another month. The tailbacks stretch back for 100km. The
situation has been made worse by dozens of cars breaking down or overheating. Around 400
traffic police have been assigned to patrol the jam to make sure tension doesn’t rise too far.
The horrendous snarl-up is the result of the explosion in the number of cars on Chinese roads.
As China becomes wealthier, more people are buying cars, thus causing more traffic
problems.
Drivers trapped in the traffic jam know they have to be patient and sit for long hours
in their cars. There are no showers for them to use and if they need to use a toilet, they have
to lock their cars and wander off to the nearest café. There are many complaints of local
people taking advantage of the stranded motorists by charging them more than double prices
for drinks and snacks. People are keeping themselves busy by playing cards or board games.
Some have reported feeling homesick. One truck driver Juang Shao expressed his frustration
over the situation: “I’ve missed my daughter’s birthday and the food in my truck has
probably turned into soup,” he said. He said he was worried his truck could be stuck in the
traffic forever.

Question 31. What caused traffic congestion on those days?

Question 32. What does the word “them” in the second paragraph refer to?
A. motorists
B. cars
C. showers
D. local people

Question 34. According to the passage, which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?
A. People who live near the jam are making money from those stranded.
B. Drivers trapped are keeping themselves busy by playing cards or board games.
C. Cars breaking down and overheating have worsened the situation.
D. The food in all trucks has completely turned into soup.
