Questions 1 – 4 are based on the following passage.

Although the start of the history of film is not clearly defined, the commercial, public screening of ten
of Lumière brothers' short films in Paris on 28 December 1895 can be regarded as the breakthrough of
projected cinematographic motion pictures. There had been earlier cinematographic results and
screenings by others, but they lacked either the quality, financial backing, stamina or the luck to find the
momentum that propelled the cinématographe Lumière into a worldwide success. Soon after, film
production companies and studios were established all over the world. The first decade of motion picture
saw film moving from a novelty to an established mass entertainment industry. The earliest films were in
black and white, under a minute long, without recorded sound and consisted of a single shot from a
steady camera.
Conventions toward a general cinematic language developed over the years with editing, camera
movements and other cinematic techniques contributing specific roles in the narrative of films. Special
effects became a feature in movies since the late 1890s, popularized by Georges Méliès' fantasy films.
Many effects were impossible or impractical to perform in theater plays and thus added more magic to
the experience of movies.Technical improvements added length (reaching 60 minutes for a feature film in
1906), synchronized sound recording (mainstream since the end of the 1920s), color (mainstream since
the 1930s) and 3D (mainstream in theaters in the early 1950s and since the 2000s). Sound ended the
necessity of interruptions of title cards, revolutionized the narrative possibilities for filmmakers, and
became an integral part of moviemaking.
Popular new media, including television (mainstream since the 1950s), home video (mainstream
sisne the 1980s) and internet (mainstream since 1990s) influenced the distribution and consumption of
filmss. Film prosuction usually responded with content to fit the new media, and with technical
innovations including widescreen (maninstream since the 1950s), 3D and 4D film) and more spectaculer
films to keep theatrical screenings attractive.
Systems that were cheaper and more easily handled (including 8mm film, video and smartphone
cameras) allowed for an increasing number of people to create films in varying qualities, for any purpose
(including home movies and video art). The technical quality usually different from professional movies,
but became more or less equal with digital video and affordable high quality digital cameras. Improving
over time, digital production methods became more and more popular during the 1990s, resulting in
increasingly realistic visual effects and popular feature-length computer animations films. As a result,
Different film genres emerged and enjoyed variable degrees of success over time.

Questions 5 – 7 are based on the following passage.

1
Before sending the first woman and next man to the Moon, NASA will send a golf cart-sized rover to
the lunar south poIe to search for sources of ice water. 2The space agency hopes to have the rover
exploring the Moon’s surface by December 2022. 3The new spacecraft was announced Friday at the
International Astronautical Congress. 4It is a yearly conference where much of the international
aerospace community gathers.
The Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, or VIPER, will travel several mites on the Moon
over 100 days, searching the soil for water. Its findings will help NASA choose where Io send astronauts
as part of the Artemis program aimed at putting humans back on the Moon to stay. The space agency
wants to choose a landing site with plenty of ice water to use as a resource.
1
VIPER will have four key instruments to detect water. 2It is developed not only by NASA but also by
an appointed company. 3The Neutron Spectrometer System will detect wet areas below the surface.
4
Once an area looks promising, the rover will deploy its TRIDENT drill to dig into the soil. 5Two other
instruments will analyze the soil samples. 6On the mission, VIPER will collect different kinds of soil from
different areas of the Moon, letting scientists map out exact locations where water is likely located.
With the Artemis missions beginning in the 2020s, water will be a key resource on the Moon. Deposits
of ice water will be crucial for the longevity of a human settlement. It is not just drinking water that is in
demand, either. Eventually, by mining the water ice, astronauts may be able to extract its hydrogen and
oxygen and then use it to create rocket fuel. That could reduce the amount of fuel and supplies
astronauts have to bring with them to the Moon, and even support future missions to Mars.
Engineers are already testing models of VIPER to see how it will move and function on the surface of
the Moon. The final VIPER rover is being created by various NASA research centers, along with
commercial partner, Honeybee Robotics, a Brooklyn-based company.

 Questions 8 – 10 are based on the following passage.
All these experts' suggestions make us wonder why vegetables are so important to human health.
The answer will be discussed below.
First of all, vegetables have high nutrient content. They are loaded with vitamins and minerals that
contribute to growth and the maintenance of good health. For example, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture notes that many vegetables are high in potassium, which is important for healthy blood
pressure. Various vitamins, such as C and A, help keep eyes, skin, teeth and gums healthy, fight
infection and promote wound healing. Perhaps most importantly, vegetables are rich in a particular group
of nutrients called antioxidants, which fight cellular damage and help prevent heart disease, cancer,
Parkinson's disease, atherosclerosis, heart attack and Alzheimer's disease, says the Linus Pauling
Institute.
Another substantial benefit of vegetables is dietary fiber. Fiber is an important nutrient found only in
plant foods. As part of a healthy diet, fiber helps scour bad cholesterol out of your arteries, thus lowering
your risk of heart disease, says the USDA. Fiber also keeps your digestive system running smoothly,
helps control your blood sugar levels and may help prevent cancer.
Vegetables are also a boon to dieters. Because they are generally low in fat and calories, you can
eat a lot of them without gaining weight. If you substitute vegetables for other, higher-calorie foods in
your diet, you will slash your calorie and fat intake, making weight management easier. The fiber in
vegetables also helps you manage your weight. Fiber makes you feel fuller for a longer period, helping
you eat less overall and aiding with weight loss or maintenance.
Some vegetables are Healthier than others. When choosing vegetables, keep in mind that, in
general, brightly colored vegetables are higher in nutrients than less vivid choices. For example, spinach
contains many more vitamins and antioxidants than iceberg lettuce.
If you have questions or concerns regarding your diet or vegetables for good health, consult your
physician or a registered dietitian for more recommendations.

8. What is the author's attitude toward vegetable consumption?

(A) Neutral
(B) Positive
(C) Curious
(D) Persuasive
(E) Critical

(E) consume important nutrients from vegetables

10. What is the best summary of the passage?

(A) Vegetables are important to maintain health due to their substantial nutrients needed by the human
body. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and are sources of fiber, helpful nutrient for
human health. Furthermore, they are exceent choices for those trying to lose weight. Vegetables
with bright colors are a better source of nutrients.
(B) Vegetables are important in human diet because they contain many nutrients and antioxidants.
Consuming bright colored vegetables also helps in lowering cholesterol and controlling body weight.
(C) Fiber is the most important substance for human health. Unlike vitamins and antioxidants, fiber can
only be found in plants, such as vegetables. It is very important in controlling cholesterol and blood
sugar. It helps the digestion process and prevents people from having cancer. Therefore, it is
important to eat vegetables.
(D) People who want to lose weight should consider to have more vegetables in their daily menu.
Consuming vegetables, especially those with bright colors, is helpful to make people feel full longer,
so decreasing the frequency of eating. Beside that, vegetable is the only source of fiber that is also
good for maintaining body weight. Fiber also helps the process of digestion.
(E) Vegetables contain many nutrients that are important for maintaining human health. They have a lot
of minerals and antioxidants. They are also the only source of fiber that is helpful in controlling
