The following are the Reading Comprehension Questions in 2017 Civil Service Exam. This can serve as your reviewer to the upcoming Civil Service Examination.
DIRECTIONS: Read each passage and questions carefully. Then choose the best answer among the choices offered. On your Answer Sheet, shade completely the bubble that
corresponds to your answer.
Passage 1 – Opera
Opera refers to a dramatic art form, originating in Europe, in which the emotional content is conveyed to the audience as much through music, both vocal and instrumental, as it
is through the lyrics. By contrast, in musical theater an actor’s dramatic performance is primary, and the music plays a lesser role. The drama in opera is presented using the
primary elements of theater such as scenery, costumes, and acting. However, the words of the opera, or libretto, are sung rather than spoken. The singers are accompanied by a
musical ensemble ranging from a small instrumental ensemble to a full symphonic orchestra.
71. It is pointed out in the reading that opera —-.
1. Has developed under the influence of musical theater 4. Is often performed in Europe
2. Is a drama sung with the accompaniment of an orchestra 5. Is the most complex of all the performing arts
3. Is not a high-budget production
72. We can understand from the reading that —-.
1. People are captivated more by opera than musical theater 3. Orchestras in operas can vary considerably in size
2. Drama in opera is more important than the music 4. Musical theater relies above all on music
5. There is argument over whether the music is important or the words in opera
73. It is stated in the reading that —-.
1. Acting and costumes are secondary to music in musical theater 4. An opera requires a huge orchestra as well as a large choir
2. Many people find musical theater more captivating than opera 5. Opera doesn’t have any properties in common with musical theater
3. Music in musical theater is not as important as it is in opera
Passage 2 – Dolphins
Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them helping drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about
dolphins, the more we realize that their society is more complex than people previously imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and
protect the weakest in the community, as we do. Some scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language but it is much more probable that they communicate with each
other without needing words. Could any of these mammals be more intelligent than man? Certainly the most common argument in favor of man’s superiority over them that we
can kill them more easily than they can kill us is the least satisfactory. On the contrary, the more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior
when we destroy them.
74. It is clear from the passage that dolphins —-.
1. don’t want to be with us as much as we want to be with them 4. are the most powerful creatures that live in the oceans
2. are proven to be less intelligent than once thought 5. are capable of learning a language and communicating with human
3. have a reputation for being friendly to humans
75. The fact that the writer of the passage thinks that we can kill dolphins more easily than they can kill us —-.
1. means that they are better adapted to their environment than we are 4. does not mean that we are superior to them
2. shows that dolphins have a very sophisticated form of communication 5. proves that Dolphins have linguistic skills far beyond what we previously thought
3. proves that dolphins are not the most intelligent species at sea
76. One can infer from the reading that —-.
1. dolphins are quite abundant in some areas of the world 4. it is not usual for dolphins to communicate with each other
2. communication is the most fascinating aspect of the dolphins 5. dolphins have some social traits that are similar to those of humans
3. dolphins have skills that no other living creatures have such as the ability to think
Passage 3 – Unsinkable Ship
Naval architects never claim that a ship is unsinkable, but the sinking of the passenger-and-car ferry Estonia in the Baltic surely should have never have happened. It was well
designed and carefully maintained. It carried the proper number of lifeboats. It had been thoroughly inspected the day of its fatal voyage. Yet hours later, the Estonia rolled over
and sank in a cold, stormy night. It went down so quickly that most of those on board, caught in their dark, flooding cabins, had no chance to save themselves: Of those who
managed to scramble overboard, only 139 survived. The rest died of hypothermia before the rescuers could pluck them from the cold sea. The final death toll amounted to 912
souls. However, there were an unpleasant number of questions about why the Estonia sank and why so many survivors were men in the prime of life, while most of the dead
were women, children and the elderly.
77. One can understand from the reading that —-.
1. the lifesaving equipment did not work well and lifeboats could not be lowered 4. naval architects claimed that the Estonia was unsinkable
2. design faults and incompetent crew contributed to the sinking of the Estonia ferry 5. most victims were trapped inside the boat as they were in their cabins

1. there were only 139 passengers on board 4. faster reaction by the crew could have increased the Estonia’s chances of survival
2. few of the passengers were asleep 5. all the passengers had already moved out into the open decks
3. there were enough lifeboats for the number of people on board
80. As we understand from the reading, today, soil erosion in America —-.
3. happens so slowly that it is hardly noticed
1. causes humans to place new demands on the land 4. is the most critical problem that the nation faces
2. is worse than it was in the nineteenth century 5. is worse in areas which have a lot of petroleum production
