Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 36.
Evaporative cooling is a natural process that has been used for centuries to cool homes and provide relief from the heat. This method relies on the simple principle of water evaporation absorbing heat from the surrounding air. As water evaporates, it changes from a liquid to a gas, drawing energy from the surrounding environment and lowering the temperature.
One of the most common examples of evaporative cooling is sweating. When our bodies overheat, we sweat, and the evaporation of that sweat helps to cool us down. This same principle is used in evaporative coolers, also known as swamp coolers, which draw air through a wet pad, causing the water to evaporate and cool the air.
Evaporative cooling is a particularly effective cooling method in dry climates where humidity is low. In humid environments, the air is already saturated with moisture, making it difficult for more water to evaporate. Consequently, the cooling effect is significantly reduced in such conditions.
Despite its limitations in humid climates, evaporative cooling remains a popular choice for its affordability, energy efficiency, and environmentally friendly nature compared to traditional air conditioning systems. It uses significantly less energy, produces no harmful emissions, and relies on a natural process to provide cooling relief.
Question 31
What is the main idea of the reading passage?
- Traditional air conditioners utilize evaporative cooling.
- Evaporative cooling is a new technology.
- Evaporative cooling only works in humid climates.
- Evaporative cooling utilizes water evaporation to provide an efficient and environmentally friendly cooling method, especially effective in dry climates.

- sweating

- environmentally friendly
- affordability
- Effective in all climates
Question 35
Why is evaporative cooling less effective in humid climates?
- The temperature is too high.
- There is not enough water in the air.
- Evaporative coolers do not function in humid climates.
- The air is already saturated with moisture, hindering further evaporation.
Question 36
The word "significantly" in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to __________.
- slightly
