Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
While experts can estimate what the economic fallout from a pandemic such as the coronavirus
will be, the precise impact will vary based on how many people are affected, how severely it hits, and
which societal interventions are necessary to contain its spread.
Financial projections for COVID-19 run the gamut. The Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development, an entity with 36 member countries, estimated earlier this month that a
long-lasting and severe coronavirus pandemic that spreads throughout Asia, Europe and North America
could cut the global growth rate to 1.5% in 2020. That is roughly half the growth the world economy
would otherwise achieve.
A separate analysis by the consulting firm McKinsey & Company offers a similar outlook. Its
research suggests that a more severe COVID-19 pandemic, in which city and suburban residents would
have to significantly change their work habits and otherwise distance themselves socially for six to eight
weeks, could cut global GDP in half, to between 1% and 1.5%.
Increasingly, those projections look too rosy for the situation that is now unfolding. Already,
roughly 1 in 3 Americans are being ordered to stay indoors, creating a huge drag on consumer demand
and worker productivity. Goldman Sachs estimates that as many as 2.25 million Americans will make
their initial filing for unemployment benefits this week, a roughly eight-fold increase from last week.
The chief U.S. economist for Oxford Economics, Greg Daco, told the New York Times last week
that a recession is all but inevitable. He estimates that GDP will sink 0.4% in the first quarter before
plunging 12% in the second quarter. Goldman Sachs offered an even more dire estimate, suggesting a
second-quarter decline of 24%.
(Adapted from https://www.investopedia.com/)

A. Experts’ estimation of COVID-19
B. Global GDP cut due to COVID-19
C. COVID-19 in comparison with Spanish Flu
D. The assessment of Coronavirus’ impact
Question 32. The word “outlook” in paragraph 3 most probably means ______.

Question 33. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as the continent

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Nowadays, most people realize that it’s risky to use credit card numbers online. However, from time
to time, we all use passwords and government ID numbers on the Internet. We think we are safe, but that may
not be true! A new kind of attack is being used by dishonest people to steal IDs and credit card numbers from
innocent web surfers. This new kind of attack is called “phishing.”
Phishing sounds the same as the word “fishing,” and it implies that a thief is trying to lure people into
giving away valuable information. Like real fishermen, phishers use bait in the form of great online deals or
services. For example, phishers might use fake emails and false websites to con people into revealing credit
card numbers, account usernames, and passwords. They imitate well-known banks, online sellers, and credit
card companies. Successful phishers may convince as many as five percent of the people they contact to
respond and give away their personal financial information.
Is this really a big problem? Actually, tricking five percent of the online population is huge! Currently,
more than 350 million people have access to the Internet, and seventy-five percent of those Internet users live
in the wealthiest countries on Earth. It has been estimated that phishers send more than three billion scam
messages each year. Even by tricking only five percent of the people, phishers can make a lot of money.
Since there is so much money to make through this kind of scam, it has caught the interest of more than
just small-time crooks. Recently, police tracked down members of an organized phishing group in Eastern
Europe, who had stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars from people online. The group created official-
looking email messages requesting people to update their personal information at an international bank’s
website. However, the link to the bank in the message actually sent people to the phishers’ fake website. To
make matters worse, further investigation revealed that this group had connections to a major crime gang in
Russia.
How can innocent people protect themselves? Above all, they have to learn to recognize email that has
been sent by a phisher. Always be wary of any email with urgent requests for personal financial information.
Phishers typically write upsetting or exciting, but fake, statements in their emails so that people will reply right
away. Also, messages from phishers will not address recipients by name because they really don’t know who
the recipients are yet. On the other hand, valid messages from your bank or other companies you normally
deal with will typically include your personal name.
Question 36. Which of the following could best serve as the topic of the passage?
A. Innocent web surfers and online risks.
B. Password and government ID numbers on the Internet
C. Valuable information shared on the internet.
D. A new type of internet attack.
Question 37. What does the word "lure" in paragraph 2 mostly means _________?
A. attract B. entice C. avert D. obviate
Question 38. The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to ___________.
A. fake emails and false websites B. phishers
C. credit card number D. people
Question 39. According to paragraph 3, why are only 5% of online users tricked a big problem?
A. Because these 5% of internet users are the wealthiest people among online population.
B. Because the number of scam messages sent to these users is more than three billion.

B. Be cautious with any email without the name sender
C. Ask your bank or company if you receive any upsetting or exciting email.
D. You shouldn't answer any message relate to your personal financial information.
Question 42. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. It's not easy to track down phishers since their website are false
B. Recognizing the differences between the true and Take messages will help innocent people protect their
information.
