READING (2.5 pts)

Part 1. Read the passage and decide which answer (A, B, C or D) best fits each gap. (0.6 pt)
The benefits of the Internet are widely known: it offers access to all kinds of information imaginable and provides
opportunities to communicate with others around the world, to share opinions and play games. Parents recognise that
it can (56) ______ a world of learning and new experiences for their children, but because the Internet is (57) ______
of millions of private sites which no one can control, (58) ______ there are risks involved. It potentially exposes
youngsters to offensive material and even dangerous situations, and crimes like abductions, which begin with seemingly
harmless online introductions, are becoming increasingly common. Recently, however, there have been efforts to raise
awareness of the dangers on the Internet. Parents should tell their children to remember at all times that in chatrooms,
they are dealing with complete strangers and not giving out any personal information is the (59) ______ to Internet
safety. Specialized software can be installed which filters out unsuitable sites. There are also safe sites for children
where membership is required. Such sites are constantly (60) ______ to make sure that no one breaks the rules: no
sharing of personal details, no requests for email addresses and no rudeness. The Internet is vast and ungovernable,
but provided certain (61) ______ are taken, young people can safely benefit from its riches.

56. A. transplant B. unlock C. enable D. explore

59. A. flat B. distinct C. central D. key
60. A. restored B. stared C. monitored D. witnessed
61. A. procedures B. modifications C. attempts D. precautions

Part 2: Read the passage carefully and then fill ONE suitable word in each gap. (0.5 pt)
Life on a small island may seem very inviting to the tourists who spend a few weeks there in the summer, but the realities
of living on (62) _______________ is virtually a rock surrounded by water are quite different from what the casual visitor
imagines. Although in summer the island villages are full of people, life and activity, when the tourist season is over,
many of the shop owners shut down their businesses and return to the mainland to spend the winter in town. (63)
_______________ to say, those who remain on the island, whether by choice or necessity, face many hardships. One
Trang 3
of the worst of these is isolation, with (64) _______________ many attendant problems. When the weather is bad, which
is often the (65) _______________ in winter, the island is entirely cut off; this means not only that people cannot have
goods delivered but also that a medical emergency can be fatal to someone confined to an island. At (66)
_______________, telephone communication is cut off, which means that no word from the outside world can get
through. Isolation and loneliness are basic reasons why so many people have left the islands for a better and more
secure life in the mainland cities, in spite of the fact that this involves leaving "home".

Part 3: Read the following passage about ways of reusing escaped heat. Six paragraphs have been removed
from the article. Choose from the paragraphs A – G the one which fits each gap. There is one extra paragraph
which you do not need to use. (0.6 pt)

City of Heat
Escaped heat costs us money and affects our climate. Chelsea Wald reports on a grand plan to capture it and put it to
good use.

Deep in the tunnels of London's underground railway, as in many around the world, it's so hot it can feel very
uncomfortable. And yet in the basement of a building only a few metres away from the station a boiler is firing to heat
water for someone's shower.

67. _____________

Recapturing it wouldn't just benefit our wallets. It would reverse some of the damaging effects on the climate. The good
news is that several cities have found a way to hunt down their surplus heat in some unexpected places. These cities
are building systems that deliver heat in much the same way that suppliers handle electricity and water. Could they point
the way to the next energy revolution?

68. _____________

It was also estimated that given the right technologies, we could reclaim nearly half of that energy, although that's easier
said than done. We often talk about the quantity of waste heat,' says David MacKay, chief scientific adviser to the UK
Department of Energy and Climate Change, 'but not the quality.' Most of what we think of as “waste heat' isn't actually
all that hot; about sixty percent is below 230°C. While that may sound pretty hot, it is too cold to turn a turbine to generate
electricity.

69. _____________

There, buildings tap into the system to warm their water supplies or air for central heating. Many countries are
encouraging such cogeneration, as it is called. A US initiative, for example, might save the country $10 billion per year.
And cogeneration allows power plants to bump up their efficiencies from thirty percent to almost ninety percent.

70. _____________

As it happens, there is an existing technology that can siphon energy from such temperatures, although applying it on
a large scale to capture waste heat is as yet unachievable. Ground source heat pumps have been helping homeowners
save on heating bills since the 1940s, when US inventor Robert Webber realised he could invert the refrigeration process
to extract heat from the ground.

71. _____________

The mechanism for this is simple. A network of pipes makes a circuit between the inside of the dwelling and a coil buried
underground. These pipes contain a mix of water and fluid refrigerant. As the fluid mixture travels through the pipes
buried underground, it absorbs the heat from the 10°C soil.

72. _____________

This system is powerful enough to efficiently provide heat even in places as cold as Norway and Alaska. It is also cheap.
Scientists around the world are now working on the idea that the way ahead is to develop citywide grids using source-
heat pumps to recycle waste on a grander scale, from sources such as subways and sewers.

A But that's not all it can do. Reverse the process and it can cool a home in summer. If the ground is cold
enough, it simply absorbs the heat from inside the building instead of from the ground.

Trang 4
 B It's an attractive proposition. A report in 2008 found that the energy lost as heat each year by US industry
equalled the annual energy use of five million citizens. Power generation is a major culprit; the heat lost from that
sector alone dwarfs the total energy use of Japan. The situation in other industrialised countries is similar.
C Yet even this is just a drop in the ocean compared with the heat lost from our homes, offices, road vehicles
and trains. However, waste heat from these myriad sources is much harder to harness than the waste heat from
single, concentrated sources like power plants. What's more, it's barely warm enough to merit its name. Reclaiming
that would be an altogether more difficult proposition.
D A more successful way of using the heat is to move the heat directly to where it is needed. A number of power
plants now do exactly that. They capture some or all of their waste heat and send it - as steam or hot water - through
a network of pipes to nearby cities.
E The system takes advantage of the fact that in temperate regions - regardless of surface temperature - a few
metres underground, the soil always remains lukewarm and stable. These pumps can tap into that consistent
temperature to heat a house in the winter.
F While this is not what you might consider hot, it nonetheless causes the liquid to evaporate into a gas. When
this gas circulates back into the building, it is fed through a compressor, which vastly intensifies the heat. That heat
can then be used by a heat exchanger to warm up hot water or air ducts.
G Rather than stewing in that excess heat, what if we could make it work for us? Throughout our energy system
- from electricity generation in power plants to powering a car - more than fifty percent of the energy we use leaks
into the surroundings.

Part 4: Read the following passage and do the tasks that follow. (0.8 pt)
CUTE buses: a new direction for public transport
It seems like a normal bus, except that it moves almost silently, and it does not give off any exhaust fumes. Instead, a
small cloud of white steam emerges from the roof. But this is no ordinary vehicle. It is part of an experiment that could
revolutionize public transport in our cities, providing sustainable, non-polluting transport from renewable energy
resources.
A Urban transport is a major problem in the countries of the European Union, where over 75% of the population
lives in towns and cities. It is becoming increasingly difficult to reconcile individual needs and expectations of personal
mobility with the preservation of the fabric of our cities and with the quality of life of their inhabitants. Transport is already
one of the chief contributors to health and environmental problems in urban regions, and increasing levels of congestion
mean that in some cities the average speed of traffic at peak times is slower than it was in the days of the horse and
cart. In addition, exhaust fumes are a major contributor to rising levels of CO2 emission in the atmosphere, as well as
being a source of carbon monoxide and particulate matter. With experts forecasting an increase of 30% in the total
number of kilometres travelled by 2030, urban transport systems have to face the challenge of meeting citizens' needs
for mobility through the development of innovative and sustainable methods of transport.
B To address this problem, the European Commission has allocated €18.5m to a project entitled CUTE (Clean
Urban Transport for Europe), one of the most ambitious experiments in energy and transport taking place today. The
aim of the project is to investigate the role that hydrogen and fuel cells could play in providing a safe, clean and efficient
means of public transport. In order to do this, the nine participating cities have each been supplied with three buses
which are powered by hydrogen rather than by diesel fuel. The buses, produced by Mercedes Benz Citaro, contain
tanks of compressed hydrogen in the roof, which supply fuel cells. Here, the hydrogen molecules are split and electricity
is produced to power the bus, together with pure water which escapes into the atmosphere as steam. The buses only
need refueling once a day and can travel at speeds of up to 100kph.
C The nine participating cities vary widely in their local conditions and the type of operating systems they use,
allowing data to be collected and comparisons to be made between the different systems. One decision the transport
authorities in each city have to make is the source of the hydrogen they use for fuel. This may be produced either from
renewable resources, or from fossil fuels. At present only around 40% of the energy required for the production of
hydrogen on the project comes from renewable resources such as wind power. Amsterdam and Hamburg both use
energy from this source to produce the hydrogen for their buses. Stockholm also uses a renewable resource, in this
case hydro power, while Barcelona profits from its high number of hours of sunshine to make use of solar power. In
cases such as these it may be possible to have a zero emission system, with no harmful by-products given off at any
stage of the project. However, other cities such as Porto and London use natural gas or other non-renewable resources
to produce the hydrogen.
D In addition to deciding on the means of production, the cities also have to decide on the location where the
production of hydrogen is to take place. The on-site production of hydrogen removes the need for its transportation by
truck in liquid or gas form, which is again an advantage in ecological and financial terms; this solution is used by several

Trang 5
cities including Madrid. In London, however, in order to make the hydrogen available to other users, the authorities
decided against on-site production, so the hydrogen production plant is some way from the bus depot.
E The varying geographical and climatic conditions of each city also allow information to be collected on a range
of operating conditions for the buses. In some cities, such as London, buses have to be able to perform in congested
traffic, while in Madrid and Porto in summer they have to be able to contend with the hot climate in addition to this. Bus
transport in Porto also has to cope with extreme geographical conditions since the city is built on a steep hillside, and
the same is true of Luxembourg and Barcelona. In Stuttgart, on the other hand, which has a widespread population, the
buses' ability to travel long distances is tested.
F The overall remit of the project therefore involved comparison of performance and costs involved in three main
areas: the production of hydrogen, the organisation of infrastructure (for example, the location of hydrogen refilling
stations), and the use of the buses in varying operational conditions. There is still some way to go before hydrogen
buses will be replacing ordinary public transport on a large scale - at present running costs are ten times higher, which
does not make them a commercial proposition - but it is beginning to look as if the days of the diesel driven bus are
numbered.
