Each

year's

HKCEE English Language II contains a number of multiple choice questions on vocabulary. The kind of vocabulary asked is usually the words that often confuse Chinese students learning English as a second language,

As a teacher of English, I find such type of question very useful to the students as it draws their attention to the correct usage of words that look somewhat similar but should be used. differently. Another virtue is that it urges the students to improve their generally poor knowledge of vocabulary, and, in particular, to learn the use of English words in context."

Today I am giving you an exercise on vocabulary, My partner, Mr Ronald Chiu has already shown you a large number of commonly confused words. You may find his column extremely helpful in explaining the answers to this exercise. I hope you will try the exercise on your own and then check the answers provided at the end of this column.

Artesian fell:

Artesian well is a special type of well. There must be three layers of rock, with the permeable layer or aquifer lying between two impermeable layers, and they must be in a shallow synclinal bas or dip in the same. direction. The layer of permeable rock is exposed at one or both ends in a rainy region, Rain falling at the outcrops passes through it and is trapped because of the impermeable layers above and below it. Gradually; the underground water in the permeable layer will increase and the water- table will rise. If a well is drilled into the aquifer, water will gush out provided that the pressure is enough, Nature of Water: Geyser:

a geyser is usually trapped locally. It seeps down through the vent or fault line's in the area, Artesian Well:

|_ The water trapped in

the aquifer of an artesian vell is the rain water falls at the rims of the basin, usually far away from the well.

Uses of Water: Geyser

The greatest use of the boiling water is piped to generate electricity. known as geo-thermal power.

Artesian Vell:

Water trapped from the artesian wells mostly serves as drinking water for livestocks. It is unsuitable for use 0.5 irrigation water since it contains too much dissolved mineral sal which poison the crops, Location of Decurrence:: Geyser

ANSWER::

a. Name of the rock

The area is mainly made up of

limestone, Tormation of the characteristic

features.

Spring

It is a vauclusian spring formed where limestone overlies and impermeable rock layer such as clay or shale.. The joints of the overlying limestone are easily opened up. It is partly due to its previous nature and partly its chemical composition. The well-developed joints of the rock allow water to enter easily. The water, especially rain water which is usually slightly acidic as carbon dioxide in the air has been dissolved, acts actively upon the rock. Joints are. therefore widened by “
