A wildfire is an uncontrolled fire in an area
where there is combustible vegetation. Wildfires
usually occur in rural areas and forests (away
from cities). These fires are also referred to as a
'wildland fire' or 'rural fire
The most common causes of forest fires are
natural and human causes. The human activities
such as agriculture machinery sparks, cigarette
butts, factory farming, farming and land-
conversion burning (agricultural to
commercial), and burning trash are the common
causes of forest fires. The natural causes are due
to volcanic eruption, lightning, dry climates,
extremely hot weather, and wind.
The effects of forest fires are devastating.
Wildfires increase temperature of soil to more
than 900°C which can strip almost all the
organic value of the soil, stealing its ability to
grow any plants again. This will also negatively
affect percolation and infiltration, making the
soil surfaces repellent (impervious) to water.
Wildfire can immediately damage
infrastructure, wildlife, and vegetation. These
can lead to huge economic setbacks. Inhalation
of wildfire smoke leads to various toxic health
effects on humans. This is because of the toxic
air pollutants released by wildfires. Forest fires
also cause loss of habitat and destruction for
millions of animals! Most of those will become
endangered.

10. The last paragraph tells us that forest fires
affect …
A. air cleanliness
B. soil fertility
(C) living beings
D. economic sectors

Technology is the most necessary evil of our
times and one such necessity currently is that of
earphones/headphones. While taking early
morning walk, crossing the street, boarding a
metro, traveling in a bus, sipping coffee in a café
or just a call in the office, throughout the day you
will encounter several people listening to music
or talking through earphones. However, by
letting your earphones plugged in too much, you
might not be disturbing the people around you,
but you certainly are harming yourself enough
without taking note of it.
The World Health Organization (WHO)
estimated that around a billion young people
across the globe could be at the risk of hearing
loss because of the unsafe listening habits, they
practice through earphones.
The primary concern with the earphones is the
volume exposure that they give the ears.
Earphones are capable of producing very loud
levels of sound very close to the ear and hence
are very dangerous. However, it must be noted
that it is not always about the volume of the
headphones but also the long duration for which
the earphones are used. Earphones are exposed
to germs also as they are exposed to too many
places where they are kept. Sharing the
earphones paves way for the transfer of these
germs which further induces harmful effects on
ears
The continuous and long-term exposure to loud
music makes the hair cells in ears to eventually
lose their sensitivity to vibration. Sometimes the
loud music also results in the cells bending or
folding over which leads to the sensation of
temporary hearing loss. The hair cells may or
may not recover from these extreme vibrations.
However, even when they recover, they mostly
cannot function normally which can cause
permanent hearing loss and is almost impossible
to be recovered from
12. People who are always exposed on loud
music for a long time may suffer from…
A. anxiety
(B) deafness
C. blindness
D. deformity
E. loneliness
13. After writing the text, the writer hopes that
readers should not …
A. listen to music
B. use earphones at all
(C) use earphones for a long time
D. listen to music using earphones
E. disturb others by using earphones
14. Listening to music using earphones for a
long time may be dangerous …. they can
produce very loud levels of sound which are
very close to the ear
A. so
B. due to
(C) because
D. therefore
E. because of

Overpopulation is an undesirable condition
where the number of the existing human
population exceeds the actual carrying capacity
of Earth. Overpopulation is caused by a number
of factors. Reduced mortality rate, better
medical facilities, and lack of family planning
are few of the causes which result in
overpopulation. Growing advances in
technology with each coming year has affected
humanity in many ways. One of these has been
the ability to save lives and create a better
medical treatment for all. A direct result of this
has been the increased lifespan and the growth
of the population.
The effects of overpopulation are quite severe.
The first of these is the depletion of resources.
The Earth can only produce a limited amount of
water and food, which is falling short of the
current needs. Moreover, with the overuse of
coal, oil, and natural gas, it has started producing
some serious effects on our environment.
Besides, the exponential rise in the number of
vehicles and industries has badly affected the
quality of air. When a country becomes
overpopulated, it gives rise to unemployment as
there are fewer jobs to support a large number of
people. The rise in unemployment gives rise to
crime.
Therefore, overpopulation should be avoided
There are incredible solutions to overpopulation.
One of the first measures is to implement
policies reflecting social change. Educating the
masses helps them understand the need to have
one or two children at the most. The government
of various countries might have to come up with
various policies related to tax exemptions to
curb overpopulation. One of them might be to
waive a certain part of income tax or lowering
rates of income tax for those married couples
who have single or two children.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To tell readers how overpopulation occurs
B. To inform of the effects of overpopulation
C. To show the ways to solve overpopulation
D. To show the main causes of overpopulation
(E) To explain the causes and effects of
overpopulation
16. Why should overpopulation be avoided?
A. It will reduce the mortality rate.
B. It will increase the number of employment.
(C) It will give bad effects to the world.
D. It will improve medical facilities.
E. It will lead people to have better educations.
17. What is the topic of paragraph one?
A. The government's policy
B. The effects of overpopulation
(C) The causes of overpopulation
D. The better medical treatment
E. The solution of overpopulation

If you live in a large city or any area where
there are lots of commuters on the road, you are
probably familiar with traffic congestion. What
you may not realize is the extent of the effects
heavy traffic congestion can have. This gridlock
can have a tremendous impact on your personal
life, career, your future, and even your safety.
The first thing many people think of when it
comes to congested roadways is the delay.
During the morning commute there is additional
stress because delays caused by traffic can make
people late for work. At the end of the day, the
afternoon rush hour is again a frustrating time
because the workday is done and people want to
get home to relax, but traffic prevents that..
A secondary effect of traffic congestion is the
inability to estimate travel times. Those who
regularly travel congested areas know
approximately how long it usually takes to get
through a particular area depending on the time
of day or the day of the week.
The stopping and starting in traffic jams
burns fuel at a higher rate than the smooth rate
of travel on the open highway. This increase in
fuel consumption costs commuters' additional
money for fuel and it also contributes to the
amount of emissions released by the vehicles.
These emissions create air pollution and are
related to global warming.
17. Why does a traffic congestion make people
upset in the morning?
(A) They may be late to work.
B. They cannot arrive home early.
C. The fuel emission increases air pollution.
D. The fuel emission causes global warming.
E. They need more money for excessive fuel
consumption.
18. What should people do to avoid rush hours?
A. Wake up early
B. Drive private cars
C. Ride a motorcycle
(D) Go to work earlier
E. Save fuel consumption
19. From the text we know that
A. people may enjoy traffic congestions
B. traffic jams can reduce fuel emission
C. being stuck in traffic jams is relaxing
D. traffic jams may lengthen people's relaxing
time
(E) it is difficult to estimate the travel time
because of traffic jams

This text is for questions 29 to 30.
In recent decades, cities have grown so large.
Now, about 50% of the Earth's population lives
in urban areas. There are several reasons for this
rural areas. Second, there are promises of a
better occurrence. First, the industrialization
increases, which tends to be located in cities, so
many factory jobs are created. These jobs, with
their promise of a better material life, attract
many people from education, so many families
are interested to leave farming communities and
move to the cities. Finally, places of leisure,
entertainment and culture, such as sports
stadiums, theaters and museums, are published
in cities. As a result, these facilities draw them
away from rural communities.

This text is for questions 1 and 2.
For thousands of years, the only light we had
was from oil lamps, candles, and gas lamps.
Then, electricity was invented and we had lights
we could switch on and off!
Traditional light bulbs contain a small coil, or
filament, made from tungsten, a strong metal
that can get incredibly hot without melting.
When an electric current passes through the
tungsten coil, it gets so hot that it glows, and it's
this glow that provides us with light.

This text is for questions 3 to 5.
Babies get sick more often than older children or
adults because their immune systems are not
fully developed and functioning at full capacity.
The common cold, which is an infection of the
respiratory system caused by a virus, is the most
frequent malady. Doctors say that normal,
healthy babies get up to about seven colds before
they reach their first birthday. Another common
affliction is the flu, caused by a different family
of viruses, which bring on high fever, chills,
fatigue, and sometimes digestive symptoms like
vomiting and diarrhea, in addition to the
respiratory symptoms of a cold.
Another reason babies get sick so often is that
they are frequently around other children, often
siblings, and this exposes them to viruses and
bacteria at school and daycare. Children at
schools and daycare get more colds, runny
noses, and ear infections than children cared for
at home. However, their earlier exposure to
these diseases also leads them to develop
immunity earlier
3. What is the text about?

to diseases for children?
(A) They develop immunity earlier.
B. They can recover quickly.
C. They should be taken care at home.
D. They may suffer from the disease again.
E. Doctors know the medications earlier
This text is for questions 6 to 9. Why do Cell
Phones Endanger Our Health and Lives?
We carry our smartphone wherever we go. We
have it at school, work, and while out shopping
and running errands. Some people even carry
their cell phones into the bathroom (not
recommended)! Cell phones harbor viruses and
bacteria like E. coli that can make us sick. So,
we have to clean it frequently, at least once daily
to remove dirt, dust, and germs. We can use
alcohol-based wipes that are safe to use on
electronics and wipe down our smartphone.
What will happen if we use our phones too
often? We must understand that it harms our
health. Looking down at your smartphone while
texting and browsing strains neck muscles and
may lead to knots or spasms. It may even lead to
nerve pain that radiates to the back, shoulders, or
down the arms. Let's use our time more
effectively.
Shorter wavelength blue light that is emitted by
cell phones, lights, and computer, tablet, and TV
screens causes damaging health effects.
Exposure to this wavelength of light disrupts
circadian rhythms. Exposure to blue light after
the sun goes down interferes with sleep. Blue
light may contribute to heart disease, obesity,
diabetes, and other health conditions. Let's
minimize our exposure to unnecessary light,
including smartphone screens, after dark.
Do you know why cell phones endanger our
lives? Look around you. You may notice many
people read messages or text other while
walking or driving. It is very dangerous to text
while driving. Texting while driving distracts
you from what's happening on the road. It just
takes a few seconds of inattention to lead to an
accident. In 2015, nearly 3,500 people were
killed and approximately 391,000 people were
injured in car accidents involving distracted
drivers. Some states have laws that ban cell
phone use while driving. Other states require
hands-free use of cell phones while driving.
6. What is the topic of the text?
A. The definition of a cell phone
B. The reasons why people need cell phones
C. The benefits of cell phones
(D) Risks caused by cell phones
E. Steps to use cell phones accordingly
7. The word 'it' in sentence "We must understand
that it harms our health." (paragraph 2) refers to
A. a cell phone
(B) using cell phones too often
C. texting while driving
D. never cleaning cell phones
E. looking down at a smartphone
8. Why does blue light of cell phones disturb our
sleep habits?
(A) It messes circadian rhythms.
B. It balances circadian rhythms,
C. It blocks circadian rhythms.
D. We're addicted to cell phones.
E. We feel tired too quickly.
9. What can we learn from the text?
A. We should not have cell phones.
B. We should use cell phones with clean hands.
(C) We should use cell phones when necessary.
D. We must use cell phones in bright rooms.
E. We should let other people text or read
messages.
This text is for questions 10 and 11.
People who are distracted by cell phones when
they are with others miss out on important in-
person interactions and connections. Believe it
or not, even the presence of a smartphone. when
people are interacting in person decreases
closeness and trust between people. It also
reduces people's ability to feel empathy and
understanding from those who they were with.
The presence of a smartphone disrupts bonding
and intimacy. Put your smartphone aside when
you are interacting with others in person.

This text is for questions 12 to 15.
With work, school, homework, after school
activities, friends and more, there are countless
activities that compete for time on the family
calendar. Family time, however, can serve as an
escape from the demands and deadlines of daily
life, and is paramount in building strong
relationships.
Family time offers many benefits. Spending
time partaking in everyday family leisure
activities has been associated with greater
emotional bonding within families. Both "core"
leisure activities, such as playing games,
watching television, gardening or playing
outdoors, can have a big impact on the overall
health of a family. Simply making it a habit to
display interest in the well being of your family
members can lead to a willingness to share
problems and build mutual respect between
parents and children. Children whose parents
spend time with
them and take an interest in their education tend
to do better in school and complete higher levels
of education than those whose parents spent
their time at home pursuing their own hobbies.
Providing essential guidance through studying
and assisting with homework, as well as
incorporating educational games, can provide
children a positive influence, lead to emotional
well-being and help them strive for higher levels
of educational success as they grow.
Children learn how to behave and communicate
by watching their parents interact with each
other and others. Family bonding time is a way
to model expected behaviors, and spending time
together as a family can help parents relate more
to their children and open the lines of
communication. Spending a few minutes
together once everyone is home for the day,
whether for dinner or a scheduled family
"meeting," can help families learn to listen to,
trust and understand one another, and build
appropriate behaviors.
On average, adolescents who communicate and
spend more time with their families tend to
exhibit lower levels of aggression and antisocial
behavior than peers with less involved parents.
A closer family relationship has also been linked
to reductions in acts of violence, delinquent
behavior, substance abuse and tobacco use.
Communication and spending time together can
help relieve feelings of anxiety or anger and
reduce urges to participate in risky behaviors.
One of the most important benefits of spending
time together is also one of the simplest: creating
memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it's
playing a game together, attending an event,
going on vacation or just sitting in the living
room or around the table talking and laughing,
positive memories are beloved possessions that
give family members a sense of belonging and
can help reinforce the importance of family.

and one for air. A small flap called an epiglottis
closes the windpipe the moment we swallow,

Dear Amalia,
How are you? I hope you, Uncle Andi, and Aunt
Rima are fine. My family and I are fine as well.
We really enjoy our new place here. This village
is beautiful, and the people are very kind. Let me
tell you more about them.
Our new house is close to a beach. My new
friends and I often spend our time at the beach.
We often help fishermen bring fish from their
boats to the fish market on Sunday morning. The
fishermen often give us fish, and then we roast
them at the beach. It is enjoyable. My friends
whose parents are fishermen occasionally invite
me to join them for sailing. It is challenging to
feel the waves on the sea. When you visit me,
you have to try it.
Talking about my school, I study at school
where my mother teaches. All students know me
well because I am a son of their teacher. I can
adapt to the situation well. My teachers and
schoolmates are kind to me. Several of my
classmates often study in my house. When we
have a problem, we ask my mother.
I think that's all for now. I am waiting for your
story. Please pass my warm regards to Uncle and
Aunt

Water is absolutely essential to every single life
form. Every living cell-plants and animals alike
depends on this substance because cells, the
basic units that make up all living things, contain
water molecules without which these basic units
would be very different and of no use to life as
we know it.
More than half of the human body is made up of
water. Much the same is true of all other living
things. Human beings can go without food for a
considerable time but without drinking
freshwater we would die very quickly. During a
24-hour period, an adult human being
takes in about 1.90 liters of water as fluids and
0.95 liters in so-called solid foods, such as fruits,
vegetables, bread, and meat. Since these foods
are also made up of cells they are not really dry
but are indeed thirty to ninety percent water.
In addition to this 2.85 liters that are taken in,
about 9.5 liters of water pass back and forth
within the body between the various organ
systems. There are about 4.73 liters of blood in
the vessels of the body and 2.85 liters of this
water. The blood cannot be diluted.
13. What is the text about?
A. The benefits of drinking fresh water
B. The effects of dehydration for our health

freshwater.
E. Human beings take 0.95 liter of water during
24 hours.
15. From the text we can conclude that
A. only cells are free from water
B. blood can be diluted without water
C. the human body is made up of less water
(D) lack of water causes living things to die

Plastic waste is fast becoming a widely
recognized problem. While it is an important
material for our economy, providing multiple
benefits to modern-day living, plastic can take
thousands of years to biodegrade. It takes up
valuable space in landfill sites and is polluting
the natural environment, having a significant
impact on our oceans.
Plastic is everywhere. It is strong, light, cheap,
and very versatile. The majority of plastic waste
does not get reused or recycled and experts
believe that 50% of plastic is single-use,
meaning it is used once before being discarded.
Single-use plastic includes plastic water bottles,
plastic packaging, plastic grocery bags, etc.
While getting rid of plastic waste is the primary
environmental problem, the production process
is a leading cause of carbon emissions
contributing to global warming. It takes a lot of
energy and resources to make plastic, with more
than 90% being produced from fossil fuel
resources. Experts believe that if current trends
continue, in 30 years 20% of global oil
consumption and 15% of global carbon
emissions will be associated with plastic
production. Creating bottled water takes 2000.
times the energy than it does to produce tap
water.
Creating a 'circular economy' is based on the
notion of maintaining the value of products,
materials, and resources within the economy for
as long as possible, consequently minimizing the
generation of waste that is produced. This
concept helps to shape an essential part of the
EU's plans to develop a sustainable and more
resource-efficient economy, with plastics
forming one of the top five priority areas to be
addressed.

A. It uses less amount of energy when producing
plastic.
B. It will offer a lot of economic benefits when
we recycle plastic.
C. It can increase the number of carbon dioxide
emissions in the atmosphere.
(D) It can pollute the environment since it needs
a thousand years to biodegrade.
E. It will support health industries by utilizing
recycled plastic for plastic surgery.
18. What do you think about recycling plastic?
(A) It is not efficient because it takes huge
amount of energy, higher than producing
B. It is efficient, but there is no technology
available to recycle plastic waste.
C. It is not efficient since the government
prohibits recycling plastic waste.
D. It depends on the method that we use to
recycle
E. It is efficient and good for our environment.
19. "Creating a 'circular economy' is based on
the notion of maintaining-(Paragraph 4) The

Morning Glory clouds are long tubular
formations that can stretch up to a 1,000
kilometers in length. A type of roll cloud, similar
formations have been spotted around the world,
but the area around Burketown in Queensland
Australia is the only place in the world where the
