IELTS Reading Sentence Completion Example 10
Sample Reading Passage: Roller coasters have a long, fascinating history. The direct ancestors of roller coasters were monumental ice slides – long, steep wooden slides covered in ice, some as high as 70 feet – popular in Russia in the 16th and 17th centuries. Riders shot down the slope in sleds made out of wood or blocks of ice, crash-landing in a sand pile. Coaster historians diverge on the exact evolution of these ice slides into actual rolling carts. The most widespread account is that a few entrepreneurial Frenchmen imported the ice slide idea to France. The warmer climate of...

Sample Reading Passage: Despite the earlier success, however, negative repercussions of human activity have caused the return of water hyacinth to East African waters. Uganda’s Lake Kyoga has recently once again experienced problems with the infestation. Sewage and agricultural waste making their way into the waterways and thereby creating an excess of nutrients in the water has been the main contributing factors to the re-emergence of water hyacinth. In addition, high levels of nitrogen in rainfall, which enter the water cycle from the smoke created by wood-burning, cooking fires used in the region, also serve as nutrition to the increasing...

Sample Reading Passage: Although there are many millions of olfactory cells in the nose, the taste is a more intense experience than smell; food technologists believe this is because of the strong pleasure relationship between the brain and food. And it is universally acknowledged that sweetness is the ultimate pleasurable taste sensation. For example, the French writer Marcel Proust is famous for using this idea in his work: eating a particular cake by chance one day brings back highly vivid memories of childhood for the narrator of his epic In Search of Past Time. The words ‘sugar’, ‘honey’ and ‘sweetie’...

Sample Reading Passage: Over the last decade, many brands and companies catering for enhancement of the male image have been successfully established, such operations ranging from male-only spas, boutiques, personal hygiene products, hair and skincare ranges, and male magazines with a strong leaning towards men’s fashion. Jamie Cawley, a proprietor of a successful chain of London-based male grooming boutiques, holds that his company’s success in this highly competitive market can be attributed to the ‘exclusivity’ tactics they have employed, in that their products and services are clearly defined as male- orientated and distinctly separate to feminine products offered by other...

Sample Reading Passage: MEXICO CITY – Although it’s hard to imagine in this age of urban sprawl and automobiles, North America once belonged to mammoths, camels, ground sloths as large as cows, bear-sized beavers, and other formidable beasts. Some 11,000 years ago, however, these large-bodied mammals and others – about 70 species in all – disappeared. Their demise coincided roughly with humans’ arrival in the New World and dramatic climatic change – factors that have inspired several theories about the die-off. Yet despite decades of scientific investigation, the exact cause remains a mystery. Now new findings offer support to one...

Sample Reading Passage: In Australia, the platypus is officially classified as ‘Common but Vulnerable.’ As a species, it is not currently considered to be endangered. However, platypus populations are believed to have declined or disappeared in many catchments 1, particularly in urban and agricultural landscapes. In most cases, the specific underlying reasons for the reduction in numbers remain unknown. Platypus surveys have only been carried out in a few catchments in eastern Australia. It is, therefore, impossible to provide an accurate estimate of the total number of platypus remaining in the wild. Based on recent studies, the average platypus population...

Sample Reading Passage: Some people believe that traditional usages of language are always more superior and refined than modern variations even when the reasons behind the rule were dubious in the first place. For example, it was once seriously frowned upon to split an infinitive in a sentence, and even today it is considered grammatically incorrect to do so. To demonstrate, let’s consider the following sentence: ‘The examiner asked me to quietly leave the room’; this was considered incorrect as the word ‘quietly’ splits the infinitive of the verb ‘to leave.’ The origins of this rule hail back to the...

Transcript: Speaker 1: Martina, have you personally had many difficulties taking part in discussions? Martina: Oh, yes, definitely. Especially in the very beginning of the course. In terms of speaking, I think I feel that the students when they talk in class, there is no end to the conversation. They sometimes talk continuously regardless of whether you raise a hand. However, they will usually stop and let you speak if you just interrupt someone. At the beginning, I think I was trying to adapt to this kind of environmental classroom chemistry. It was also difficult because of my language ability....

Transcripts: The bath you can see from here is called the Great bath, not very imaginative, I know, but it is the biggest. Impressive, isn’t it? At one time it was housed in a huge vaulted hall, 40 meters high, which for many people of the period must have been the largest building they’d ever seen in their lives. The bath itself is 1.6 meters deep, ideal for bathing and has steps leading down to the water on all sides. The niches or alcoves, you can see all around the bath would have had benches and possibly small tables for...

Transcript: Good morning, everybody. I’m Richard Smothers from international students consulting and welcome to today’s talk on what you need to know and think about prior to going to study in the UK. Probably the biggest question is that of housing. It can be very expensive, especially in London, and most universities’ halls are certainly not cheap. That’s what you pay for convenience. It is probably the best thing for most of you, I believe it’s the first time any of you have studied in the UK to find a vacancy in a coop house with other students. If you...

Transcripts: Travel and tourism is the largest industry in the world. But calculating its economic impact is quite difficult. The one thing everybody can agree on though is that it’s huge. There are two things that have influenced the growth of Tourism. There are first, social-factors and secondly, technology and the way it’s developed. Let’s consider the social factors first of all. Demand for tourism is determined mainly by the amount of wealth a country has, which is why countries such as Japan Australia the USA, and Western European countries have contributed most in terms of tourist numbers in the...
