RC Practice For TOEFL

Hello sir is there any one can provide me some questions for reading Comprehension for TOEFL exam?

In the TOEFL exam a main section is reading Comprehension in English subject. The Reading Comprehension section contains reading passages and questions about the passages.

The questions are about information that is stated or implied in the passage and about some of the specific words in the passages.

Example:
Read the following passage:

The railroad was not the first institution to impose regularity on society, or to draw attention to the importance of precise timekeeping. For as long as merchants have set out their wares at Line daybreak and communal festivities have been celebrated, people have been in rough agreement with their neighbors as to the time of day. The value of this tradition is today more apparent than ever. Were it not for public acceptance of a single yardstick of time, social life would be unbearably chaotic: the massive daily transfers of goods, services, and information would proceed in fits and starts; the very fabric of modern society would begin to unravel.

Example I
What is the main idea of the passage?

In modern society we must make more time for our neighbors.
The traditions of society are timeless.
An accepted way of measuring time is essential for the smooth functioning of society.
Society judges people by the times at which they conduct certain activities.
The main idea of the passage is that societies need to agree about how time is measured in order to function smoothly. Therefore, you should choose answer C.

Example II
In line 6, the phrase "this tradition" refers to

The practice of starting the business day at dawn
Friendly relations between neighbors
The railroad's reliance on time schedules
People's agreement on the measurement of time
