Marcel Bich, a French manufacturer of traditional ink pens, was the man turning the ballpoint pen into
an item that today almost anyone can afford. Bich was shocked at the poor quality of the ballpoint pens
that were available, and also at their high cost. However, he recognised that the ballpoint was a firmly
established invention, and he decided to design a cheap pen that worked well and would be commercially
successful.
Bich went to the Biro brothers and asked them if he could use the design of their original invention in
one of his own pens. In return, he offered to pay them every time he sold a pen. Then, for two years, Bich
studied the detailed construction of every ballpoint pen that was being sold, often working with a
microscope.
By 1950, he was ready to introduce his new wonder: a plastic pen with a clear barrel that wrote
smoothly, did not leak and only cost a few cents. He called it the 'Bic Cristal'. The ballpoint pen had
finally become a practical writing instrument. The public liked it immediately, and today it is as common
as the pencil. In Britain, they are still called Biros, and many Bic models also say 'Biro' on the side of the
pen, to remind people of their original inventors.
Bich became extremely wealthy thanks to his invention, which had worldwide appeal. Over the next
60 years his company, Société Bic, opened factories all over the world and expanded its range of
inexpensive products. Today, Bic is as famous for its lighters and razors as it is for its pens, and you can
even buy a Bic mobile phone.
(Adapted from Complete IELTS Workbook by Rawdon Wyatt)
Question 31: What could be the best title for the passage?
A. From Mobile Devices to Ballpoint Pens
B. From a Luxury Item to an Everyday Object
C. Ballpoint Pen's New Design - For Better or Worse?
D. Biros - A Business Model in Britain
Question 32: According to paragraph 1, Marcel Bich was shocked because _________.
A. a cheap pen could be designed with great commercial success
B. a firm was not established to produce high-quality ballpoint pens
C. most people could not afford such a firmly established invention
D. the ballpoint pens available were expensive despite their poor quality
Question 33: The word "practical" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

Question 34: The word "which" in paragraph 4 refers to ________.

A study was set up to examine the old marriage advice about whether it's more important to be happy
or to be right. Couples therapists sometimes suggest that in an attempt to avoid constant arguments,
spouses weigh up whether pressing the point is worth the misery of marital discord. The researchers from
the University of Auckland noticed that many of their patients were adding stress to their lives by
insisting on being right, even when it worked against their well-being.
The researchers then found a couple who were willing to record their quality of life on a scale of 1 to
10. They told the man, who wanted to be happy more than right, about the purpose of the study and asked
him to agree with every opinion and request his wife had without complaint, even when he profoundly
didn't agree. The wife was not informed of the purpose of the study and just asked to record her quality of
life.
Things went rapidly downhill for the couple. The man's quality-of-life scores fell, from 7 to 3, over
the course of the experiment. The wife's scores rose modestly, from 8 to 8.5, before she became hostile to
the idea of recording the scores. Rather than creating harmony, the husband's agreeableness led to the
wife becoming increasingly critical of what he did and said (in the husband's opinion). After 12 days he
broke down, and the study was called off because of severe adverse outcomes."
The researchers concluded, shockingly, that humans need to be right and acknowledged as right, at
least some of the time, to be happy. They also noted this was further proof that if given too much power,
humans tend to "assume the alpha position and, as with chimpanzees, they become very aggressive and
dangerous." It is often said that there can be no peace without justice, and that's true of domestic sphere.
Obviously the results are to be taken with extreme caution, since this was just one couple with who-
knows-what underlying issues beforehand. But the study's chief author, Dr. Bruce Arroll, maintains that
the question of happiness vs. rightness, theoretically, could be settled by scientific inquiry with a wider
sample. "This would include a randomized controlled trial,” he says. "However, we would be reluctant to
do the definitive study because of the concern about divorce."

Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their number
has varied from one to forty-eight stars. Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of the
twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies.
Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen stars because by that time
Vermont and Kentucky have joined the Union. At that time it was apparently the intention of mint
officials to add a star for each new state. Following the admission of Tennessee in 1796, for example,
some varieties of half dimes, dimes, and half dollars were produced with sixteen stars.
As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme would
not prove practical and the coins from 1798 were issued with only thirteen Stars - one for each of the
original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the 1828 half-cent was issued with only
twelve stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with only 12 stars, but this is the result of a die break
and is not a true error.
Question 31: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Stars on American coins
B. The teaching of astronomy in state universities
C. Colonial stamps and coins
D. The star as national symbol of the United States
Question 32: The expression "Curiously enough" is used because the author finds it strange that _____.
A. Tennessee was the first state to use half dimes
B. Vermont and Kentucky joined the Union in 1794
C. silver coins with fifteen stars appeared before coins with thirteen
D. no silver coins were issued until 1794
Question 33: Why was a coin produced in 1828 with only twelve stars?
A. Tennessee had left the Union. B. The mint made a mistake.
C. There were twelve states at the time. D. There is a change in design policy.
Question 34: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the denomination of an American coin?
A. Half nickel B. Half-dollar C. Hall cent D. Half dime
Question 35: The word "their" in line 1 refers to _________.
A. features B. coins C. stars D. colonies
Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen? You're not
too far off. A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising ways that technology
intersects with teen friendships – and the results show that 57 percent of teens have made at least one new
friend online. Even more surprisingly, only 20 percent of those digital friends ever meet in person.
While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent of their
day texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends on a
daily basis (outside of school hallways). These new forms of communication are key in maintaining
friendships day-to-day – 27 percent of teens instant message their friends every day, 23 percent connect
through social media every day, and 7 percent even video chat daily. Text messaging remains the main
form of communication – almost half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of
communication with their closest friend.
3 8
While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and
maintaining friendships) in the gaming world – 89 percent play with friends they know, and 54 percent
play with online-only friends. Whether they're close with their teammates or not, online garners say that
playing makes them feel "more connected" to friends they know, or garners they've never met.
When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity – 62
percent of teens are quick to share their social media usernames when connecting with a new friend
(although 80 percent still consider their phone number the best method of contact). Despite the negative
consequences-21 percent of teenage users feel worse about their lives because of posts they see on social
media – teens also have found support and connection through various platforms. In fact, 68 percent of
teens received support during a challenging time in their lives via social media platforms.
Just as technology has become a gateway for new friendships, or a channel to stay connected with current
friends, it can also make a friendship breakup more public. The study reveals that girls are more likely to
block or unfriend former allies, and 68 percent of all teenage users report experiencing "drama among
their friends on social media."

Urban development is having a direct impact on the weather in (26) ______ cities worldwide. It has
been noticed that the difference in temperature is usually greater at night and the phenomenon occurs in

Edward Patrick Eagan was born on April 26th 1897 in Denver, Colorado, and his father died in a
railroad accident when Eagan was only one year old. He and his four brothers were raised by his mother,
who earned a small income from teaching foreign languages.
Inspired by Frank Marriwell, the hero of a series of popular novels for boys, Eagan pursued an
education for himself and an interest in boxing. He attended the University of Denver for a year before
serving in the U.S. army as an artillery lieutenant during World War I. After the war, he entered Yale
University and while studying there, won the US national amateur heavyweight boxing title. He
graduated from Yale in 1921, attended Harvard Law School, and received a Rhodes scholarship to the
University of Oxford where he received his A.M. in 1928.
While studying at Oxford, Eagan became the first American to win the British amateur boxing
championship. Eagan won his first gold medal as a light heavyweight boxer at the 1920 Olympic Games
in Antwerp, Belgium. Eagan also fought at the 1924 Olympics in Paris as a heavyweight but failed to get
a medal. Though he had taken up the sport just three weeks before the competition, he managed to win a
second gold medal as a member of four-man bobsled team at the 1932 Olympics in Lake Placid, New
York. Thus, he became the only athlete to win gold medals at both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

It is estimated that by 2050 more than two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities, up
from about 54 percent today. While the many benefits of organized and efficient cities are well
understood, we need to recognize that this rapid, often unplanned urbanization brings risks of profound
social instability, risks to critical infrastructure, potential water crises and the potential for devastating
spread of disease. These risks can only be further exacerbated as this unprecedented transition from rural
to urban areas continues.
How effectively these risks can be addressed will increasingly be determined by how well cities
are governed. The increased concentration of people, physical assets, infrastructure and economic
activities mean that the risks materializing at the city level will have far greater potential to disrupt
society than ever before.
Urbanization is by no means bad by itself. It brings important benefits for economic, cultural and societal
development. Well managed cities are both efficient and effective, enabling economies of scale and
network effects while reducing the impact on the climate of transportation. As such, an urban model can
make economic activity more environmentally-friendly. Further, the proximity and diversity of people
can spark innovation and create employment as exchanging ideas breeds new ideas.
But these utopian concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization. For
example, one of the main factors is rural-urban migration, driven by the prospect of greater employment
opportunities and the hope of a better life in cities. But rapidly increasing population density can create
severe problems, especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to cope with the influx of new
inhabitants. The result may, in extreme cases, be widespread poverty. Estimates suggest that 40% of the
world's urban expansion is taking place in slums, exacerbating socio-economic disparities and creating
unsanitary conditions that facilitate the spread of disease.
The Global Risks 2015 Report looks at four areas that face particularly daunting challenges in the
face of rapid and unplanned urbanization: infrastructure, health, climate change, and social instability. In
each of these areas we find new risks that can best be managed or, in some cases, transferred through the
mechanism of insurance.

Question 38:Which statement is TRUE, according to the passage?

Right now, the biggest source of energy in the world is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are oil, gas, and coal.
More than 80 percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many problems with fossil
fuel. One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air. Also, when we take fossil fuel
from the Earth, we often cause a lot of damage. Another problem is that we are running out of it. That is
why we need new sources of energy. A big source of energy for many countries is nuclear power. Thirty-
one countries use nuclear power. Many ships also use it.
Nuclear power has some advantages. First of all, we can't run out of nuclear power. Nuclear power
does not make the air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn't need to buy as much as oil
from other countries.
However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example, nuclear
accidents are very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Ukraine. In the next 20 years, about
4,000 people got sick and died. In 2011, there was another very serious nuclear accident in Japan. Japan is
still trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident.
Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it is not safe. A lot of
people want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity. There have been protests
against nuclear energy in the United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan, India, and many other
countries.
Although many people hate nuclear energy, more and more countries are using it. One reason for
this is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don't have enough fossil fuel. However, if
we use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future.
Question 31: Which of the following is NOT true about fossil fuel?
A. It can pollute the air.
B. We don't use much of it.
C. Its sources are limited.
D. Mining fossil fuel can bring harm to the environment.
Question 32: All of the following are true about nuclear accidents EXCEPT that ______.
A. they have been very serious
B. their effects can last many years
C. it doesn't take us much time to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident
D. there were serious nuclear accidents in Ukraine in 1986 and in Japan in 2011
Question 33: The phrase "clean up" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. block B. evacuate C. disappear D. remove
Question 34: What does the word "They" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. countries B. protesters C. officials D. supporters
Question 35:Which of the following statements would the author of the passage support most?
A. Some governments are wrong when they are using nuclear energy.
B. We should consider seriously nuclear power because it has both advantages and disadvantages.
C. We can continue using nuclear energy until there is an accident.
D. Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries and governments should follow their
people.

Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be trained programmer to work online. Of course,
there are plenty of jobs available for people with high-tech computer skills, but the growth of new
media has opened up a wide range of Internet career opportunities requiring only a minimal level of
technical expertise. Probably one of the most well-known online job opportunities is the job of
webmaster. However, it is hard to define one basic job description for this position. The qualifications
and responsibilities depend on what tasks a particular organization needs a webmaster to perform.
To specify the job description of a webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware and software
that the website the webmaster will manage is running on. Different types of hardware and software
require different skill sets to manage them. Another key factor is whether the website will be running
internally (at the firm itself) or externally (renting shared space on the company servers). Finally, the
responsibilities of a webmaster also depend on whether he or she will be working independently, or
whether the firm will provide people to help. All of these factors need to be considered before one can
create an accurate webmaster job description.
Webmaster is one type of Internet career requiring in-depth knowledge of the latest computer
applications. However, there are also online jobs available for which traditional skills remain in high
demand. Content jobs require excellent writing skills and a good sense of the web as a “new media”.
The term “new media” is difficult to define because it encompasses a constantly growing set of
new technologies and skills, specifically, it includes websites, email, Internet technology, CD-ROM,
DVD, streaming audio and video, interactive multimedia presentations, e-books, digital music,
computer illustration, video games, virtually reality, and computer artistry.
Additionally, many of today’s Internet careers are becoming paid-by-the-job professions. With
many companies having to downsize in tough economic items, the outsourcing and contracting of
freelance workers online has become common business practice. The Internet provides an infinite pool
of buyers from around the world with whom freelancers can contract their services. An added benefit to
such online jobs is that freelancers are able to work on projects with companies outside their own
country of residence.
How much can a person make in these kinds of career? As with many questions related to todays
evolving technology, there is no simple answer. There are many companies willing to pay people with
technical Internet skills salaries well above $70,000 a year. Generally, webmasters start at about
$30,000 per year, but salaries can vary greatly. Freelance writers working online have been known to
make between $40,000 and $70,000 per year.

Question 40: Which of the followings is NOT true about the job of the freelance writers?
A. It may involve working with foreign companies.
B. It is considered a “content” job.
C. There is a high demand for traditional skills.
4 19
D. It requires deep knowledge of computer applications.
Question 41: The word “downsize” in paragraph 5 most likely means____________.
A. dismiss workers B. decrease salary C. go bankrupt D. win new contracts
Question 42: It can be inferred from the passage that____________.
A. only well-trained workers are advised to work online.
B. online workers can work full-time online.
C. becoming a webmaster is really easy.
D. workers with limited computer skills cannot make good money.
Question 43: The man, a poor man, is invited to the Clambake last night.

Dolphins are one of the most intelligent species on the planet, which makes them a very
interesting animal to scientists. In their natural habitats, dolphins use various vocalization techniques.
They whistle and squeak to recognize members of their pod, identify and protect their young, and call
out warnings of danger. They also make clicking sounds used for echolocation to find food and
obstacles in dark and murky waters.
Amazingly, the whistling sound that the bottlenose dolphin makes has been found to have a
similar pattern to human language. They always make conversational sounds when they greet each
other. If you listen to dolphins' squeaks and squeals, it will sound like they are having a conversation.
Dolphins usually use both sound and body language to communicate with each other. It is through
gesture and body language, however, that most of their communication with humans comes. Dolphins
can be trained to perform complicated tricks. This suggests they have a high level of intelligence and
communication capacity. If they work for a long time with a trainer, they are able to recognize and
understand human commands.
A lot of dolphin communication has been studied using dolphins in captive environments. These
studies have been criticized because some marine biologists believe that dolphins living in aquariums or
research centers cannot be considered "normal." Even so, most believe that studying dolphin
communication in captivity is useful for beginning to understand the complexity of dolphin
communication. After all, dolphins are one of the most intelligent animals. Their ability to
communicate is impressive and worthy of study.

There are many theories of aging, but virtually all fall into the category of being hypotheses with
a minimum of supporting evidence. One viewpoint is that aging occurs as the body's organ systems
become less efficient. Thus failures in the immune system, hormonal system, and nervous system could
all produce characteristics that we associate with aging. Following a different vein, many current
3 23
researchers are looking for evidence at the cellular and sub cellular level.
It has been shown that cells such as human fibroblasts (generalized tissue cells) grown in culture divide
only a limited number of times and then die. (Only cancer cells seem immortal in this respect).
Fibroblast cells from an embryo divide more times than those taken from an adult. Thus some
researchers believe that aging occurs at the cellular level and is part of the cell's genetic makeup. Any
event that disturbs the cell's genetic machinery such as mutation, damaging chemicals in the cell's
environment, or loss of genetic material, could cause cells to lose their ability to divide and thus bring
on aging. Other theories of aging look at different processes. Chronological aging refers to the passage
of time since birth and is usually measured in years. While chronological age can be useful in
estimating the average status of a large group of people, it is a poor indicator of an individual person's
status because there is a tremendous amount of variation from one individual to the next in regard to the
rate at which biological age changes occur. For example, on the average, aging results in people losing
much of their ability to perform strenuous activities, yet some elderly individuals are excellent
marathon runners.
Another type of aging is cosmetic aging, which consists of changes in outward appearance with
advancing age. This includes changes in the body and changes in other aspects of a person's
appearance, such as the style of hair and clothing, the type of eyeglasses, and the use of a hearing aid.
Like chronological aging, it is frequently used to estimate the degree to which other types of aging have
occurred. However, it is an inaccurate indicator for either purpose because of variation among
individuals and because a person's appearance is affected by many factors that are not part of aging,
including illness, poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight

The relationship between Britain and the US has always been a close one. Like all close
relationships it has had difficult times. The US was first a British colony, but between 1775 and 1783 the
US fought a war to become independent. The US fought the British again in the War of 1812.
In general, however, the two countries have felt closer to each other than to any other country, and
their foreign policies have shown this. During World War I and World War II, Britain and the US
supported each other. When the US looks for foreign support, Britain is usually the first country to come
forward and it is sometimes called “the 51st state of the union”.
But the special relationship that developed after 1945 is not explained only by shared political
interests. An important reason for the friendship is that the people of the two countries are very similar.
They share the same language and enjoy each other's literature, films and television. Many Americans
have British ancestors, or relatives still living in Britain. The US government and political system is based
on Britain's, and there are many Anglo-American businesses operating on both sides of the Atlantic. In
Britain some people are worried about the extent of US influence, and there is some jealousy of its
current power. The special relationship was strong in the early 1980s when Margaret Thatcher was Prime
Minister in Britain and Ronald Reagan was President of the US.

There are two basic types of glaciers, those that flow outward in all directions with little regard
for any underlying terrain and those that are confined by terrain to a particular path.
The first category of glaciers includes those massive blankets that cover whole continents,
appropriately called ice sheets. There must be over 50,000 square kilometers of land covered with ice
for the glacier to qualify as an ice sheet, when portions of an ice sheet spread out over the ocean, they
form ice shelves.
About 20,000 years ago the Cordilleran Ice sheet covered nearly all the mountains in southern Alaska,
western Canada, and the western United States. It was about 3 kilometers deep at its thickest point in
northern Alberta. Now there are only two sheets left on Earth, those covering Greenland and Antarctica.
Any domelike body of ice that also flows out in all directions but covers less than 50,000 square
kilometers is called an ice cap. Although ice caps are rare nowadays, there are a number in northeastern
Canada, on Baffin Island, and on the Queen Elizabeth Islands.
3 28
The second category of glaciers includes those of a variety of shapes and sizes generally called
mountain or alpine glaciers. Mountain glaciers are typically identified by the landform that controls
their flow. One form of mountain glacier that resembles an ice cap in that it flows outward in several
directions is called an ice field. The difference between an ice field and an ice cap is subtle.
Essentially, the flow of an ice field is somewhat controlled by surrounding terrain and thus does not
have the domelike shape of a cap. There are several ice fields in the Wrangell. St. Elias, and Chugach
mountains of Alaska and northern British Columbia.
Less spectacular than large ice fields are the most common types of mountain glaciers: the cirque
and valley glaciers. Cirque glaciers are found in depressions in the surface of the land and have a
characteristic circular shape. The ice of valley glaciers, bound by terrain, flows down valleys, curves
around their corners, and falls over cliffs.

Who talk more men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a
stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more in private situations, where they
use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public
situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that
we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one "best friend", their play
includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more
doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers
studied conversations between children aged 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk
very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents
use more language with their girls. Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more
descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially with
daughters than with sons.
Question 31: Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?
A. Little girls and little boys have different ways of playing.
B. Women talk more than men on the whole.
C. It's a stereotype that women talk more than men.

B. Parents give more love to their daughters than their sons.
C. Boys don't like showing their emotions.
D. Boy's play usually involves more talking than doing.
Question 34: Which word could best replace "startling" in the second paragraph?
A. beginning B. annoying C. interesting D. surprising
Question 35: Which of the following statements is NOT true, according to the passage?

correct answer for each of the blanks.
Scientists believe they now have scientific evidence to prove that ecosystems work better when
there is a greater variety of species within them. This biodiversity is being lost destroying natural
mechanisms that could repair the damage caused by man.
Findings show that losing plants and animals is not only reducing our quality of life but
actually endangering our very existence. We cut down rich rainforests and replace them with one species
3 33
plantations, such as pine and eucalyptus. We plough up meadows rich in different grasses and herbs and
replace them with one grass, for instance rye or wheat.
When a natural ecosystem is simplified the basic processes in the ecosystem are altered and
even damaged. Without their biodiversity, they are not able to serve as the natural cleaners of our planet.
No longer are they able to absorb the carbon dioxide that is being produced in excess. The result is
global warming, caused by the increase in the 'greenhouse effect', and ultimately, or even sooner, there
will be a change in the world's climate.

GIRLS' EDUCATION
Improving girls' educational levels has been demonstrated to have clear impacts on the health
and economic future of young women, which in turn improves the prospect of their entire community.
Research shows that every extra year of school for girls increases their lifetime income by 15%.
Improving female education, and thus the earning potential of women improves the standard of living for
their own children.
Yet, many barriers to education for girls remain. In some African countries, such as Burkina Faso,
girls are unlikely to attend school for such basic reasons as a lack of private toilet facilities for girls.
Higher attendance rates of high schools and university education among women, particularly in
developing countries, have helped them make inroads into professional careers with better-paying
salaries and wages.
Education increases a woman's (and her partner's and the family's) level of health and health
awareness. Furthering women's levels of education and advanced training also tends to lead to later ages
of initiation of sexual activity, later ages at first marriage, and later ages at first childbirth, as well as an
increased likelihood to remain single, have no children, or have no formal marriage and alternatively,
have increasing levels of long-term partnerships. It can lead to higher rates of barrier and chemical
contraceptive use (and a lower level of sexually transmitted infections among women and their partners
and children), and can increase the level of resources available to women who divorce or are in a situation
of domestic violence. It has been shown, in addition, to increase women's communication with their
partners and their employers, and to improve rates of civic participation such as voting or the holding of
office.
Question 31: What can be the best title for the reading passage?
A. Education and Violence Against Women B. Women's Rights to Lifelong Education
C. Female Education and its Social Benefits D. Education and Women's Empowerment
Question 32: It is stated in the first paragraph that

In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related. A theory
often involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be
produced. A good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory, in which gases are pictured as
being made up of many small particles that are in constant motion.
A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observations, helps to predict events that have not as
yet been observed. After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory.
If observations confirm the scientists' predictions, the theory is supported. If observations do not confirm
the predictions, the scientists must search further. There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory
may have to be revised or rejected.
Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and
performing experiments. Facts by themselves are not science. As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare
said: "Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be
called science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house."
Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a
particular problem. After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the
investigation that requires considerable imagination. Possible solutions to the problem are formulated.
These possible solutions are called hypotheses. In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown. It
extends the scientist's thinking beyond the known facts. The scientist plans experiments, performs
calculations and makes observations to test hypotheses. For without hypotheses, further investigation
lacks purpose and direction. When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories.
Question 36: In the fourth paragraph, the author implies that imagination is most important to
scientists when they ________
A. gather known facts. B. formulate possible solutions to a problem.
C. evaluate previous work on a problem. D. close an investigation.
Question 37: The word "this" in line 3 refers to ______.
A. the kinetic molecular theory B. an observed event
C. an imaginary model D. a good example
Question 38: According to the second paragraph, a useful theory is one that helps scientists to ______
A. find errors in past experiments. B. publicize new findings.
C. observe events. D. make predictions.
Question 39: The word "related" in line 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. completed B. identified C. described D. connected
Question 40: The word "supported" is closest in meaning to _______.
A. upheld B. investigated C. finished D. adjusted
Question 41: In the last paragraph, what does the author imply a major function of hypotheses?
A. Communicating a scientist's thoughts to others. B. Sifting through known facts.
C. Linking together different theories. D. Providing direction for scientific research.
Question 42: Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
A. A good scientist needs to be creative.
B. It is better to revise a hypothesis than to reject it.
C. Theories are simply imaginary models of past events.
D. A scientist's most difficult task is testing hypotheses.

One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual vocational training
programme. Such programmes offer plenty of opportunities for on-the-job training and work experience.
Programmes usually last between two and three and a half years and comprise theoretical as well as
practical elements. You will spend one or two days a week, or several weeks at once, at a vocational
school where you will acquire the theoretical knowledge that you will need in your future occupation. The
rest of the time will be spent at a company. There you get to apply your newly acquired knowledge in
practice, for example by learning to operate machinery. You will get to know what your company does,
learn how it operates and find out if you can see yourself working there after completing your training.
This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job: by the time you
have completed your training, you will not only have the required technical knowledge, but you will also
have hands-on experience in your job. There are around 350 officially recognised training programmes
in Germany, so chances are good that one of them will suit your interests and talents. You can find out
which one that might be by visiting one of the jobs vocational training fairs which are organised in many
German cities at different times in the year.
Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training programme are
very good. This is one of the reasons why this kind of training is very popular with young Germans:
around two thirds of all students leaving school go on to start a vocational training programme.

A surgical mask is a loose-fitting, disposable device that creates a physical barrier between the
mouth and nose of the wearer and potential contaminants in the immediate environment. Surgical masks
are regulated under 21 CFR 878.4040. Surgical masks are not to be shared and may be labelled as
surgical, isolation, dental, or medical procedure masks. They may come with or without a face shield.
These are often referred to as face masks, although not all face masks are regulated as surgical masks.
Surgical masks are made in different thicknesses and with different ability to protect you from
contact with liquids. These properties may also affect how easily you can breathe through the face mask
and how well the surgical mask protects you.
If worn properly, a surgical mask is meant to help block large-particle droplets, splashes, sprays, or
splatter that may contain germs (viruses and bacteria), keeping it from reaching your mouth and nose.
Surgical masks may also help reduce exposure of your saliva and respiratory secretions to others.
While a surgical mask may be effective in blocking splashes and large-particle droplets, a face
mask, by design, does not filter or block very small particles in the air that may be transmitted by
coughs, sneezes, or certain medical procedures. Surgical masks also do not provide complete protection
from germs and other contaminants because of the loose fit between the surface of the face mask and your
face.
Surgical masks are not intended to be used more than once. If your mask is damaged or soiled, or if
breathing through the mask becomes difficult, you should remove the face mask, discard it safely, and
replace it with a new one. To safely discard your mask, place it in a plastic bag and put it in the trash.
Wash your hands after handling the used mask.

The coronavirus is usually transmitted by droplets, such as those produced when coughing and
sneezing, and by direct or indirect contact with secretions infected by the virus. The virus may also shed
in blood, urine and faeces, and, therefore, there is potential for transmission through contact with a wide
range of bodily fluids. Certainly, person-to-person spread has been confirmed in community and
healthcare settings across Asia and into Europe. There is also a possibility that asymptomatic carriers may
be able to infect people. Public Health England (PHE) has classified the COVID-19 infection as an
airborne, high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK.
The application of infection prevention and control (IPC) principles are already widely used by
healthcare professionals within hospital and community settings to both prevent the spread of infections
and to control outbreaks when they do occur. The WHO has issued interim guidance regarding IPC when
COVID-19 is suspected. This advice is echoed by guidance issued by PHE.
PHE suggests the coronavirus may pose complications, such as illness pneumonia or severe acute
respiratory infection. They also suggest that patients with long-term conditions or are
immunocompromised are at risk of these complications. It is important that as first-line staff, midwives
are also familiar with the recommended IPC principles and measures, and ensure they have the
appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when caring for a patient with suspected COVID-19.

The authors noted that while other forms of pollution are decreasing, noise pollution has been
increasing. This conclusion is reinforced by the fact that there has been an increase in the number of
people who have been complaining about excessive noise in the WHO region. Populations that are
exposed to high noise levels can be afflicted by other symptoms such as: stress reactions, sleep-stage
changes, and clinical symptoms like hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. All these impacts can
contribute to premature mortality. It is important to note that these adverse health problems impact all
age groups including children and adolescents. In fact, it has been reported that children who live and or
3 48
study in an area afflicted with noise pollution tend to suffer from stress, impairments in memory and
attention as well as difficulty reading.
“In Western Europe, the guidelines say, traffic noise results in an annual loss of at least one million
healthy years”. Traffic noise is currently ranked second among environmental threats to public health.
The danger of noise pollution is more present to us when we are asleep. Because the human ear is
so sensitive, it never rests, it is always working, picking up and transmitting sounds for our brains to
interpret. This always on working process is where the danger lies, though you may be sleeping, sounds
are still being picked up and processed. The most common side effects of this phenomenon are sleep
disturbance and tiredness, impaired memory, judgment, and psychomotor skills. The other more serious
outcomes of this can be the triggering of the body’s acute stress response, which raises blood pressure and
heart rate as the body and brain go into a state of hyperarousal. According to the European Environment
Agency, at least 10,000 cases of premature deaths from noise exposure occur each year, although
incomplete data mean this number is significantly underestimated.

Culture is the lens with which we evaluate everything around us; we evaluate what is proper or
improper, normal or abnormal, through our culture. If we are immersed in a culture that is unlike our
own, we may experience culture shock and become disoriented when we come into contact with a
fundamentally different culture. People naturally use their own culture as the standard to judge other
cultures; however, passing judgment could reach a level where people begin to discriminate against others
whose “ways of being” are different than their own—essentially, we tend to fear that which we do not
understand.
Cultural diversity is important because our country, workplaces, and schools increasingly consist of
various cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. We can learn from one another, but first we must have a level
of understanding about each other in order to facilitate collaboration and cooperation. Learning about
other cultures helps us understand different perspectives within the world in which we live and helps
dispel negative stereotypes and personal biases about different groups.
In addition, cultural diversity helps us recognize and respect “ways of being” that are not
necessarily our own, so that as we interact with others, we can build bridges to trust, respect, and
understanding across cultures. Furthermore, this diversity makes our country a more interesting place to
live, as people from diverse cultures contribute language skills, new ways of thinking, new knowledge,
and different experiences.

There are several ways to measure how often men and women appear in news photos. One way is to
think about all the photos together as making up one big crowd of people and estimating what share are
women versus men. Women made up 33% of all the 53,067 individuals identified in news post images,
while men made up the other 67%.
Another way to look at the data is to examine the mix of people who appear in each image. Across
the 22,342 posts with photos containing identifiable human faces, more than half of them exclusively
showed men, while less than a quarter showed exclusively women. The remaining images show at least
one man and one woman.
3 53
All 17 news outlets included in the study showed more men than women in news images on
Facebook during the study period. The share of individuals who were identified as women by the model
ranges from 25% to 46%, by outlet.
While these findings are striking, there is no perfect benchmark or “true ratio” for how often men
and women should be portrayed in news images on social media. Yes, the U.S. population is divided
nearly in half, male versus female. But, for example, all the representational coverage of professional
football teams would return results overwhelmingly dominated by male faces. Coverage of the U.S.
Senate – currently 25% female – might do the same. In addition, the analysis did not address whether the
content of the news stories that accompanied the images was more focused on men or women.
The analysis also reveals other ways that men are more prominent in news images on Facebook. In
photos that showed two or more people, men tend to outnumber women. And men’s faces take up more
space when shown, with the average male face being 10% larger than the average female face across all
photos with people.

The "greenhouse effect" is the warming that happens when certain gases in Earth's atmosphere (26)
________ heat. These gases let in light but keep heat from escaping, like the glass walls of a greenhouse.
First, sunlight shines onto the Earth's surface, (27) ________ it is absorbed and then radiates back into the
atmosphere as heat. In the atmosphere, “greenhouse gases trap some of this heat, and the rest escapes into
space. The more greenhouse gases are in the atmosphere, the more heat gets trapped.
Scientists have known about the greenhouse effect since 1824, when Joseph Fourier calculated that
the Earth would be much colder if it had no atmosphere. This greenhouse effect is what keeps the Earth's
climate (28) ________ . Without it, the Earth's surface would be an average of about 60 degrees
Fahrenheit cooler. Scientists often use the term "climate change" instead of global warming. This is
because as the Earth's average temperature climbs, winds and ocean currents move heat around the globe
in ways that can cool some areas, warm (29) ________, and change the amount of rain and snow falling.
(30) ________, the climate changes differently in different areas.

In most families, conflict is more likely to be about clothing, music, and leisure time than about
more serious matters such as religion and core values. Family conflict is rarely about such major issues as
adolescents' drug use and delinquency. Nevertheless, it has been estimated that in about 5 million
American families (roughly 20 percent), parents and adolescents engage in intense, prolonged, unhealthy
conflict. In its most serious form, this highly stressful environment is associated with a number of
negative outcomes, including juvenile delinquency, moving away from home, increased school dropout
rates, unplanned pregnancy, membership in religious cults, and drug abuse (Steinberg & Morris, 2001).
Many of the changes that define adolescence can lead to conflict in parent- adolescent
relationships. Adolescents gain an increased capacity for logical reasoning, which leads them to demand
reasons for things they previously accepted without question, and the chance to argue the other side
(Maccoby,1984). Their growing critical-thinking skills make them less likely to conform to parents'
wishes the way they did in childhood. Their increasing cognitive sophistication and sense of idealism may
compel them to point out logical flaws and inconsistencies in parents' positions and actions. Adolescents
no longer accept their parents as unquestioned authorities. They recognize that other opinions also have
merit and they are learning how to form and state their own opinions. Adolescents also tend toward ego-
centrism, and may, as a result, be ultra-sensitive to a parent's casual remark. The dramatic changes of
puberty and adolescence may make it difficult for parents to rely on their children's preadolescent
behavior to predict future behavior. For example, adolescent children who were compliant in the past may
become less willing to cooperate without what they feel is a satisfactory explanation.

A. The dramatic changes of puberty and adolescence.
B. How to solve conflict in family.

Even before the turn of the century, movies began to develop in two major directions: the realistic
and the formalistic. Realism and formalism are merely general, rather than absolute, terms. When used to
suggest a tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but in the end, they are still just
labels.
Few films are exclusively formalist in style, and fewer yet are completely realist. There is also an
important difference between realism and reality, although this distinction is often forgotten. Realism is a
particular style, whereas physical reality is the source of all the raw materials of film, both realistic and
formalistic. Virtually all movie directors go to the photographable world for their subject matter, but what
they do with this material - how they shape and manipulate it determines their stylistic emphasis.
Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of concrete reality with a
minimum of distortion. In photographing objects and events, the filmmaker tries to suggest the
copiousness of life itself. Both realist and formalist film directors must select (and hence emphasize)
certain details from the chaotic sprawl of reality. But the element of selectivity in realistic films is less
obvious. Realists, in short, try to preserve the illusion that their film world is unmanipulated, an objective
mirror of the actual world. Formalists, on the other hand, make no such pretence. They deliberately
stylize and distort their raw materials so that only the very naive would mistake a manipulated image of
an object or event for the real thing.
We rarely notice the style in a realistic movie; the artist tends to be self-effacing. Some filmmakers
are more concerned with what is being shown than how it is manipulated. The camera is used
conservatively. It is essentially a recording mechanism that reproduces the surface of tangible objects
with as little commentary as possible. A high premium is placed on simplicity, spontaneity, and
directness. This is not to suggest that these movies lack artistry, however, for at its best the realistic
cinema specializes in art that conceals art.

A. Acting styles B. Film plots

The relationship between Britain and the US has always been a close one. Like all close relationships it
has had difficult times. The US was first a British colony, but between 1775 and 1783 the US fought a
war to become independent. The US fought the British again in the War of 1812.
In general, however, the two countries have felt closer to each other than to any other country, and their
foreign policies have shown this. During World War I and World War II, Britain and the US supported
each other. When the US looks for foreign support, Britain is usually the first country to come forward
and it is sometimes called “the 51st state of the union”.
But the special relationship that developed after 1945 is not explained only by shared political interests.
An important reason for the friendship is that the people of the two countries are very similar. They share
the same language and enjoy each other's literature, films and television. Many Americans have British
ancestors, or relatives still living in Britain. The US government and political system is based on Britain's,
and there are many Anglo-American businesses operating on both sides of the Atlantic. In Britain some
people are worried about the extent of US influence, and there is some jealousy of its current power. The
special relationship was strong in the early 1980s when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister in Britain
and Ronald Reagan was President of the US.

The first category of glaciers includes those massive blankets that cover whole continents, appropriately
called ice sheets. There must be over 50,000 square kilometers of land covered with ice for the glacier

shelves.

the flow of an ice field is somewhat controlled by surrounding terrain and thus does not have the
domelike shape of a cap. There are several ice fields in the Wrangell. St. Elias, and Chugach mountains

Deep brain stimulation (DBS), an experimental technology that involves implanting a pacemaker-
like device in a patient’s brain to send electrical impulses, is a hotly debated subject in the field of
medicine. It is an inherently risky procedure and the exact effects on the human brain aren’t yet fully
understood.
But some practitioners believe it could be a way to alleviate the symptoms of depression or even help
treat Alzheimer’s — and now they suspect it could help with drug addiction as well. In a world’s first,
according to the Associated Press, a patient in Shanghai’s Ruijin Hospital had a DBS device implanted in
his brain to treat his addiction to methamphetamine. And the device has had an astonishingly positive
effect, the patient says. “This machine is pretty magical. He adjusts it to make you happy and you’re
happy, to make you nervous and you’re nervous,” he told the Associated Press. “It controls your
happiness, anger, grief and joy.”
Other studies in China have yielded mixed results trying to treat opioid addictions using DBS,
according to the AP. In the United States, at least two studies that tried to treat alcoholism with DBS were
dropped for not being able to justify the risks. The idea of using DBS to treat drug addiction has raised
concerns in medical communities across the globe about brain hemorrhage, seizures, or personality
changes.

A. has been thoroughly studied by scientists.
B. has been approved by all Chinese practitioners.
C. has achieved both positive and negative results.
D. has successfully cured opioid addictions in China.

Most parents want their sons and daughters to have equal chances of success when they grow
up. Today, equality of the sexes is largely mandated by public policy and law. However, old-
fashioned ideas and a lot of prejudice are still part of our culture and present challenging
questions for parents.
3 68
Gender stereotypes are rigid ideas about how boys and girls should behave. We all know what
these stereotypes are: A "feminine" girls should be insecure, accommodating and a little illogical
in her thinking. A "masculine" boy should be strong, unemotional, aggressive, and competitive.
How are children exposed to these stereotypes? According to the researchers David and Myra Sadker
of the American University of Washington, D.C., boys and girls are often treated differently in
the classroom. They found out that when boys speak, teachers usually offer constructive
comments, when girls speech, teachers tend to focus on the behavior. It's more important how the
girls act rather than what they say.
The emphasis on differences begins at birth and continues throughout childhood. For
example, few people would give pink baby's clothes to a boy or a blue blanket to a girl. Later, many of
us give girls dolls and miniature kitchenware, while boys receive action figures and construction
sets. There's nothing wrong with that. The problem arises when certain activities are deemed
appropriate for one sex but not the other. According to Heather J. Nicholson, Ph.D., director of the
National Resource Center for Girls, Inc., this kind of practice prevents boys and girls from acquiring
important skills for their future lives.
"The fact is," says Nicholson, "that society functions as a kind of sorting machine regarding
gender. In a recent survey, fifty-eight percent of eighth-grade girls but only six percent of boys
earned money caring for younger children. On the other hand, twenty-seven percent of boys but
only three percent of girls earned money doing lawn work". If we are serious about educating a
generation to be good workers and parents, we need to eliminate such stereotypes as those
mentioned previously.
Gender stereotypes inevitably are passed to our children. However, by becoming aware of
the messages our children receive, we can help them develop ways to overcome these incorrect
ideas. To counteract these ideas, parents can look for ways to challenge and support their
children, and to encourage confidence in ways that go beyond what society's fixed ideas about
differences of sext are.

The first category of glaciers includes those massive blankets that cover whole continents,
appropriately called ice sheets. There must be over 50,000 square kilometers of land covered with ice
for the glacier to qualify as an ice sheet, when portions of an ice sheet spread out over the ocean, they
form ice shelves.
directions is called an ice field. The difference between an ice field and an ice cap is subtle.
Essentially, the flow of an ice field is somewhat controlled by surrounding terrain and thus does not
have the domelike shape of a cap. There are several ice fields in the Wrangell. St. Elias, and Chugach
mountains of Alaska and northern British Columbia.
Less spectacular than large ice fields are the most common types of mountain glaciers: the cirque
and valley glaciers. Cirque glaciers are found in depressions in the surface of the land and have a

In 2007, at a heavily hyped press event in San Francisco, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs stood on
stage and unveiled a revolutionary product that not only broke the mould but also set an entirely new
paradigm for computer-based phones. The look, interface and core functionality of nearly every
smartphone to come along since is, in some form or another, derived from the original iPhone’s
innovative touchscreen-centric design.
Among some of the ground-breaking features was an expansive and responsive display from which
to check email, stream video, play audio, and browse the internet with a mobile browser that loaded full
websites, much like what is experienced on personal computers. Apple’s unique iOS operating system
allowed for a wide range of intuitive gesture-based commands and eventually, a rapidly growing
warehouse of downloadable third-party applications.
Most importantly, the iPhone reoriented people’s relationship with smartphones. Up to then, they
were generally geared toward businesspeople and enthusiasts who saw them as an invaluable tool for
staying organized, corresponding over email, and boosting their productivity. Apple’s version took it to a
whole other level as a full-blown multimedia powerhouse, enabling users to play games, watch movies,
chat, share content, and stay connected to all the possibilities that we are all still constantly rediscovering.

Today, Snyder is seeing the fruits of the collaboration. In a recent issue of the Journal of
Comparative Psychology (Vol. 117, No. 3), the research group published the first study of giant panda
cub-rearing and separation. The study is the first step in examining the impact of a common breeding
3 78
practice in China: separating captive cubs before they are six months old so that the mothers will be able
to reproduce again sooner. Cubs in the wild stay with their mothers for 1.5 to 2.5 years.
Snyder and her co-authors, including Maple and psychologist Mollie Bloomsmith, PhD, theorize
that separating cubs from their mothers too early may harm their social development, and could underlie
why so many captive pandas fail to breed. Captive males often show little sexual interest in females or are
too aggressive.
The research team has also conducted urinary and behavioral analyses of female giant pandas
during the breeding season, which is generally in the spring, and is examining the behavior of giant panda
mothers. Graduate student Megan Wilson, who also has worked in Chengdu, is investigating sequences of
play-fighting for her dissertation. And former graduate student and Chengdu researcher Loraine Tarou,
PhD, examined giant panda cognition.
Tarou, now an assistant professor at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, is the first to
examine how captive pandas forage for food and learn to adapt to changes in their environment. She
compared her findings with the cognition of the spectacled bear and found that while both use spatial
memory to find food, the spectacled bears used visual cues the pandas did not pick up on.
The finding indicates that giant pandas' reliance on spatial memory alone may cause them to have
difficulty when their food sources are abruptly changed or moved--a big problem for an animal that
consumes nearly 30 pounds of bamboo a day.
While such basic research may not have immediate application, says Tarou, it is contributing to
scientists' growing knowledge of the species.

Vietnam’s population is ageing quickly. In 2017, more than 10 per cent of the population will be
60 and older, and in 15-20 years the elderly will account for one third of the total population. This raises
concerns about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly at a time when Vietnam is focusing on
economic integration and requires a large labor force. So far two solutions have been proposed: to loosen
the two-child policy and to increase the retirement age to 58 for women and 62 for men. By ending the
two-child policy the government expects to make up for the ageing population within the next 20 years.
But its effect could be creating an uncontrollable boom in the Vietnamese population. When the
government loosened the two-child policy in 2015 in a trial period, in the first 6 months of 2016 the third
child birth rate increased remarkably by 7.5 per cent
Raising the retirement age has been proposed by the Ministry of Labor pending parliamentary
evaluation in May 2017. While the policy is beneficial in utilizing the work experience of the elderly
while creating savings in the pension budget, it also means fewer job prospects and promotion
opportunities for younger generations. It is also not in the interest of all the elderly, especially the 70 per
cent of Vietnam's labor force working in manual labor-intensive sectors such as agriculture,
manufacturing and construction where working above the age of 50 can be dangerous and unproductive.
Despite these drawbacks, raising the retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key
solutions to the ageing population problem in Vietnam. However, these are only temporary solutions.
Question 31. The best title for this passage could be ________.
A. Vietnam struggling with ageing population
B. Stopping the two-child policy in Vietnam
C. Raising the retirement age in Vietnam
D. How to solve the aging population in Vietnam
Question 32. Which statement is probably TRUE according to the information in the paragraph 1?
A. In 2017, the elderly take up for one third of the total population, this leads to more concerns
about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly.
B. In 2015, the two-child policy has been officially tightened and succeeded.
C. The government would promote families to have two children to compensate for the ageing
population within the next 20 years.
D. In the next 15-17 years, Vietnam's economy will need a large labor force to integrate with
global economy.
Question 33. The word "temporary" in paragraph 2 means ________.
A. constant B. permanent C. short-term D. long-term
Question 34. The word “its" in paragraph 1 refers to ________?
A. two-Child policy B. aging population
C. retirement age D. economic integration
Question 35. In the 2rd paragraph, the writer suggests that ________.
A. The Ministry of Labor has applied raising the retirement age in May 2017.
B. Raising the retirement age can reduce job opportunities for younger generations.
C. The elderly whose age is 50 would be dangerous if they continued to work
3 83
D. Raising the retirement age and stopping two-child policy can be considered as long-term and
effective solutions.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It's a special, dark place completely different from
anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall. Millions of kinds of animals, insects,
and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but
sometimes you don‘t know it's raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach
the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They are found in
tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America. The
Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is
in Western Africa. There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia,
and the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the “lungs of
our planet” because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One fifth of the world's fresh water
is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants,
and insects live in the Earth's rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For
example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from
rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we are sick are made of plants that grow only
in rainforests. Some of these drugs are even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get
from rainforests, it’s surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000
square meters, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being cut down to make fields for
cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms. Along with losing countless valuable species, the
destruction of rainforests creates many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more
pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world.
Question 36: What is the author's purpose in the passage?
A. To provide factual information about tropical rainforests for readers.
B. To prove that rainforests are indispensable in our lives.
C. To explain why people have destroyed a large area of tropical rainforests.
D. To prevent people from damaging tropical rainforests.
Question 37. Why don't people know it‘s raining in the rainforests?
A. Because the trees grow very tall there.
B. Because they are the habitats of millions of flora and fauna.
C. Because the branches are too dense for the rain to touch the ground.
D. Because it hardly rains in the rainforests.

We first learn about loving and caring relationships from our families. Family is defined as a domestic
group of people with some degree of kinship - whether through blood, marriage, or adoption. Ideally,
each child is nurtured, respected, and grows up to care for others and develop strong and healthy
relationships. This does not mean that it is always easy to make and keep friends; it just means that we
share the goal of having strong relationships.
"Family" includes your siblings and parents, as well as relatives who you may not interact with every day,
such as your cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and stepparents. These are probably the people you are
closest to and with whom you spend the most time. Having healthy relationships with your family
members is both important and difficult.
Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single parent, blended (more than
one family together in the same house], and gay and lesbian parents -just to name a few. No matter the
"type" of family you have, there are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad. Many times,
however, families become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and confusion. These are
natural and normal, and few families do not have at least a few experiences with them. The worst time for
most families, is during a divorce. By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world and
deal with other people, it is possible to create happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be units
of mutual caring and support; they can be sources of lifelong strength for all individuals.

There are many theories of aging, but virtually all fall into the category of being hypotheses with a
minimum of supporting evidence. One viewpoint is that aging occurs as the body's organ systems become
less efficient. Thus failures in the immune system, hormonal system, and nervous system could all
produce characteristics that we associate with aging. Following a different vein, many current researchers
are looking for evidence at the cellular and sub cellular level.
only a limited number of times and then die. (Only cancer cells seem immortal in this respect). Fibroblast
cells from an embryo divide more times than those taken from an adult. Thus some researchers believe
that aging occurs at the cellular level and is part of the cell's genetic makeup. Any event that disturbs the
cell's genetic machinery such as mutation, damaging chemicals in the cell's environment, or loss of
genetic material, could cause cells to lose their ability to divide and thus bring on aging. Other theories of
aging look at different processes. Chronological aging refers to the passage of time since birth and is
usually measured in years. While chronological age can be useful in estimating the average status of a
large group of people, it is a poor indicator of an individual person's status because there is a tremendous
amount of variation from one individual to the next in regard to the rate at which biological age changes
occur. For example, on the average, aging results in people losing much of their ability to perform
strenuous activities, yet some elderly individuals are excellent marathon runners.
advancing age. This includes changes in the body and changes in other aspects of a person's appearance,
such as the style of hair and clothing, the type of eyeglasses, and the use of a hearing aid. Like
chronological aging, it is frequently used to estimate the degree to which other types of aging have
occurred. However, it is an inaccurate indicator for either purpose because of variation among individuals
and because a person's appearance is affected by many factors that are not part of aging, including illness,
poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight
A. seem to live forever B. divide and then die
C . divide more in embryos than in adults D. lose their ability to divide

Oil prices dropped on Friday as traders feared that an Opec deal to slash global supplies by 10%
would not offset a historic drop in demand due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The price of Brent crude fell nearly 2.5% to $31.82 per barrel on Friday, despite news that the oil
cartel and allies, known as Opec+, had reached a deal that would end a price war between Saudi Arabia
and Russia that threatened to flood the market with more oil than the world could use.
Mexico initially cast some doubt over Opec’s plans, after apparently refusing to sign up to its share
of cuts, which would have been 400,000 barrels per day (bpd). The country instead offered to cut 100,000
bpd. The country signalled on Friday that the US may be willing to make further cuts to its production in
order to allow Mexico to make less stringent reductions. Mexican president Andrés Manuel López
Obrador said that US president Donald Trump had agreed to help out by cutting additional US output.
However, G20 energy ministers did not mention production cuts in a statement released after a
virtual summit hosted by Saudi Arabia on Friday. The meeting had been expected to seal the deal on
production cuts, but the statement pledged that the G20 would work together to ensure oil “market
stability”. “We commit to ensure that the energy sector continues to make a full, effective contribution to
overcoming Covid-19 and powering the subsequent global recovery,” the statement said.

A two-time winner of People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" title (1995 and 2000), Pitt began
dating Jennifer Aniston, star of the TV sitcom Friends, in 1998. Pitt and Aniston married on July 29,
2000, in Malibu, California. The couple announced their separation in January 2005, divorcing in October
of that year.
3 98
Soon after their separation, Brad Pitt began dating Angelina Jolie, with the actress later revealing
that the two developed feelings for each other on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. In May 2006, the couple
had a baby girl, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. In July 2008, Pitt and Jolie had twins: a boy, Knox Leon, and a
girl, Vivienne Marcheline. They also have three adopted children: Maddox, Pax Thien and Zahara.
The couple became engaged in 2012 and tied the knot in a private ceremony on August 23, 2014, in
France. However, Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, requesting sole physical custody of their six
children.
The drama surrounding their contentious split played out the media, with Jolie in June 2018
reported to be in danger of losing custody due to her insistence on keeping the children from seeing their
father. In August, Jolie filed court documents that claimed her estranged husband had "paid no
meaningful child support since separation." Pitt's legal team followed with their own filing in which they
asserted that the actor had paid more than $1.3 million in bills for the family and helped his wife buy her
current home through an $8 million loan.
The actor faced more legal problems that month when an attorney announced plans to sue Pitt's
Make It Right Foundation on behalf of residents of an area of New Orleans that was devastated by
Hurricane Katrina. The foundation built more than 100 "green" houses in 2008, and allegedly promised to
return to make necessary fixes. The lawyer claimed his clients endured infrastructural issues and illnesses
at their homes.

CDC strives to safeguard the health and improve the quality of life of all people with diabetes.
Central to that effort is helping them prevent or reduce the severity of diabetes complications, including
heart disease (the leading cause of early death among people with diabetes), kidney disease, blindness,
and nerve damage that can lead to lower-limb amputations.
Diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) programs help people meet the
challenges of self-care by providing them with the knowledge and skills to deal with daily diabetes
management: eating healthy food, being active, checking their blood sugar, and managing stress. These
programs have been shown to reduce A1C levels (average blood sugar over the last 2 to 3 months),
reduce the onset and severity of diabetes complications, improve quality of life, and lower health care
costs.
Diabetes is about 17% more prevalent in rural areas than urban ones, but 62% of rural counties do
not have a DSMES program. The use of telehealth (delivery of the program by phone, Internet, or
videoconference) may allow more patients in rural areas to benefit from DSMES and the National DPP
lifestyle change program. CDC funds state and local health departments to improve access to,
participation in, and health benefit coverage for DSMES, with emphasis on programs that achieve
American Association of Diabetes Educators accreditation or American Diabetes Association recognition.
These programs meet national quality standards and may be more sustainable because of reimbursement
eligibility.

Advocates of the laws and journalists who cover the issue often neglect to ask what will replace
plastic bags and what the environmental impact of that replacement will be. People still need bags to
bring home their groceries. And the most common substitute, paper bags, may be just as bad or worse,
depending on the environmental problem you are most concerned about.
That is leading to a split in the anti-bag movement. Some bills, like in Massachusetts, try to reduce
the use of paper bags as well as plastic, but still favour paper. Others, like in New York City, treat all
single-use bags equally. Even then, the question remains as to whether single-use bags are necessarily
always worse than reusable ones.
Studies of bags’ environmental impacts over their life cycle have reached widely varying
conclusions. Some are funded by plastic industry groups, like the ironically named American Progressive
Bag Alliance. Even studies conducted with the purest of intentions depend on any number of
3 103
assumptions. How many plastic bags are replaced by one cotton tote bag? If a plastic bag is reused in the
home as the garbage bag in a bathroom waste bin, does that reduce its footprint by eliminating the need
for another small plastic garbage bag?
If your chief concern is climate change, things get even muddier. One of the most comprehensive
research papers on the environmental impact of bags, published in 2007 by an Australian state
government agency, found that paper bags have a higher carbon footprint than plastic. That is primarily
because more energy is required to produce and transport paper bags.
“People look at paper and say it’s degradable, therefore it’s much better for the environment, but
it’s not in terms of climate change impact,” says David Tyler, a professor of chemistry at the University
of Oregon who has examined the research on the environmental impact of bag use. The reasons for
paper’s higher carbon footprint are complex but can mostly be understood as stemming from the fact that
paper bags are much thicker than plastic bags. “Very broadly, carbon footprints are proportional to mass
of an object,” says Tyler. For example, because paper bags take up so much more space, more trucks are
needed to ship paper bags to a store than to ship plastic bags.

Health promotion and disease prevention programs focus on keeping people healthy. Health
promotion programs aim to engage and empower individuals and communities to choose healthy
behaviours and make changes that reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and other morbidities.
Defined by the World Health Organization, health promotion is: “The process of enabling people to
increase control over, and to improve, their health. It moves beyond a focus on individual behaviour
towards a wide range of social and environmental interventions.”
Disease prevention differs from health promotion because it focuses on specific efforts aimed at
reducing the development and severity of chronic diseases and other morbidities.
Wellness is related to health promotion and disease prevention. Wellness is described as the
attitudes and active decisions made by an individual that contribute to positive health behaviours and
outcomes.
Health promotion and disease prevention programs often address social determinants of health,
which influence modifiable risk behaviours. Social determinants of health are the economic, social,
cultural, and political conditions in which people are born, grow, and live that affect health status.
Modifiable risk behaviours include, for example, tobacco use, poor eating habits, and lack of physical
activity, which contribute to the development of chronic disease.

According to a mobiThinking.com report on global mobile statistics, as of February 2013, 96.2
percent of the world's population has a subscription to mobile cellular service. As an average, that means
that almost everyone in the world has a mobile phone! Even for the region with the lowest use level in the
study, the market saturation is just over 63 percent. In highly developed nations, the saturation is well
over 100 percent, meaning that people have more than one mobile phone service.
Even though most of the world's population has mobile service, it doesn't mean that an organization
can blast a call or message to everyone, though it might be technically possible. In addition to laws that
3 108
prohibit this type of communication, phone conversations are still one-to-one (or one-to-few with
conference calling) connections.
As well, text messages, even though they can technically be broadcast to millions, cannot legally be
sent unless the mobile subscriber opts in to receive. So, in one sense, text message campaigns could be
classified as mass media since they are a one-to-many communication. But due to the opt-in nature of
these campaigns, the mass that they reach will be limited.
That being said, there is no doubt that mass media communications delivered via mobile devices,
particularly through mobile apps and push notifications (alert messages that pop up on a mobile device
screen), will become a primary delivery system of the future.
Similarly, email is often a one-to-many communication, particularly for communications such as
email marketing and newsletters. Like text messaging and cell phone calls, a person must share an email
address (opt-in) in order to receive messages. Broadcasting to the masses without permission violates the
Federal Trade Commission's CAN-SPAM Act. As with mobile text messages, email can be a mass media
communication but will be limited.

The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive
force that it was during the Vietnam era, a 2009 study suggests. The Pew Research Center study found
that 79% of Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at
the world. In 1969, a Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.
Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as
divisive. That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young
and old, according to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents
are likely to have observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young
adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is
twofold.
First, the two largest areas of difference—technology and music—are less emotionally charged than
political issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in
technology rather than to view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its
own style of music, and the older generation generally can relate to that desire.
Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation
as superior to their own generation—clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't
trust anyone over thirty." According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior
in moral values, work ethic and respect for others.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
People are living longer and, in some parts of the world, healthier lives. This represents one of the
crowning achievements of the last century, but also a significant challenge. Longer lives must be planned
for. Societal aging may affect economic growth and lead to many other issues, including the sustainability
of families, the ability of states and communities to provide resources for older citizens, and international
relations. The Global Burden of Disease, a study conducted by the World Health Organization, predicts a
very large increase in age-related chronic disease in all regions of the world. Dealing with this will be a
significant challenge for all countries’ health services.
Population aging is driven by declines in fertility and improvements in health and longevity. In more
developed countries, falling fertility beginning in the early 1900’s has resulted in current levels being
below the population replacement rate of two live births per woman. Perhaps the most surprising
demographic development of the past 20 years has been the pace of fertility decline in many less
developed countries. In 2006, for example, the total fertility rate was at or below the replacement rate in
44 less developed countries.
One central issue for policymakers in regard to pension funds is the relationship between the official
retirement age and actual retirement age. Over several decades in the latter part of the 20th century, many
of the more developed nations lowered the official age at which people become fully entitled to public
pension benefits. This was propelled by general economic conditions, changes in welfare philosophy, and
private pension trends. Despite the recent trend toward increased workforce participation at older ages, a
significant gap between official and actual ages of retirement persists. This trend is emerging in rapidly
aging developing countries as well. Many countries already have taken steps towards much-needed
reform of their old-age social insurance programs. One common reform has been to raise the age at which
workers are eligible for full public pension benefits. Another strategy for bolstering economic security for
older people has been to increase the contributions by workers. Other measures to enhance income for
older people include new financial instruments for private savings, tax incentives for individual
retirement savings, and supplemental occupational pension plans.
As life expectancy increases in most nations, so do the odds of different generations within a family
coexisting. In more developed countries, this has manifested itself as the ‘beanpole family,’ a vertical
extension of family structure characterized by an increase in the number of living generations within a
lineage and a decrease in the number of people within each generation. As mortality rates continue to
improve, more people in their 50’s and 60’s will have surviving parents, aunts, and uncles. Consequently,
more children will know their grandparents and even their great-grandparents, especially their great-
grandmothers. There is no historical precedent for a majority of middle-aged and older adults having
living parents.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A. B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
Nanotechnology is the creation and use of materials or devices at extremely small scales. These
materials or devices fall in the range of 1 to 100 nanometers (nm). One nm is equal to one-billionth of a
meter (.000000001 m), which is about 50,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair. Scientists
refer to the dimensional range of 1 to 100 nm as the nanoscale, and materials at this scale are called
nanocrystals or nanomaterials.
The nanoscale is unique because nothing solid can be made any smaller. It is also unique because
many of the mechanisms of the biological and physical world operate on length scales from 0.1 to 100
nm. At these dimensions materials exhibit different physical properties; thus scientists expect that many
novel effects at the nanoscale will be discovered and used for breakthrough technologies.
A number of important breakthroughs have already occurred in nanotechnology. These developments
are found in products used throughout the world. Some examples are catalytic converters in automobiles
that help remove air pollutants, devices in computers that read from and write to the hard disk, certain
sunscreens and cosmetics that transparently block harmful radiation from the Sun, and special coatings
for sports clothes and gear that help improve the gear and possibly enhance the athlete’s performance.
Still, many scientists, engineers, and technologists believe they have only scratched the surface of
nanotechnology’s potential.
Nanotechnology is in its infancy, and no one can predict with accuracy what will result from the full
flowering of the field over the next several decades. Many scientists believe it can be said with
confidence, however, that nanotechnology will have a major impact on medicine and health care; energy
production and conservation; environmental cleanup and protection; electronics, computers, and sensors;
and world security and defense.

To quote CREST founder Dr. Martha Honey, we earnestly believe that ecotourism is “simply a better
way to travel.” Here’s a look at how this transformational approach to travel benefits conservation,
increases cross-cultural understanding, and ultimately turns travelers into environmental advocates:
To see how ecotourism benefits nature and wildlife, let’s look at endangered species such as African
Elephants. Ivory from Elephant tusks is worth $1500 a pound on the black market, which has led to a
dramatic increase in poaching. But Elephants are worth 76 times more alive than dead. When you
consider the revenue from wildlife photography tours, luxury safari camps, and other ecotourism
offerings, a single Elephant is worth $1.3 million over the course of its lifetime! Ecotourism offers a long-
3 118
term alternative to exploitation, generating sustainable revenue and ensuring better overall health of the
ecosystem.
Nature reserves and national parks help prevent deforestation and pollution, while also protecting the
habitat of endemic species. The revenue that ecotourism provides can help replace profits from
exploitative practices such as mining or slash ‘n’ burn agriculture. It can also help ensure the long-term
financial viability of the area. Naturalist guides also help travelers understand the value of a pristine
ecosystem, and teach them about the importance of conservation. This ultimately help to create a more
mindful and conscious legion of travelers.
When managed properly, ecotourism can offer locals alternative revenue streams. In wildlife-rich
countries such as Rwanda, former poachers are often employed as guides or trackers, capitalizing on their
knowledge of the animals and their habitat. In Costa Rica, unemployment has fallen to less than 10%
since the country started building its ecotourism infrastructure in the 1970s. Involving local communities
in tourism management empowers them by ensuring that more revenue is reinvested locally. Ecotourism
also offers indigenous peoples an opportunity to remain on ancestral land, conserve it, and preserve
traditional culture.
Sure, being a responsible traveler takes a greater level of commitment to being conscious and mindful
of the impact we have on the destinations we visit. But ecotourism also offers us incredible,
transformative experiences, allowing us to develop closer personal relationships to the nature, wildlife,
and local people we encounter during our adventures. Learning about ecotourism can permanently change
your understanding of mankind’s role in our planetary ecosystem. And once you’ve had that sort of travel
experience, you’ll never want to travel the traditional way again.

Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this water
first thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body
temperature; neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your
kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After
drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps us go to
the bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don’t drink all of that
water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It’s better to
drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to drink between
meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can
interfere with normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are
probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A
little more water each day could make you much healthier.
(Adapted from Reading Challenge 1 by Casey Malarcher and Andrea Janzen)

question.
Carnegie Hall, the famous concert hall in New York City, has again undergone a restoration. While
this is not the first, it is certainly the most extensive in the building’s history. As a result of this new
restoration, Carnegie Hall once again has the quality of sound that it had when it was first built. Carnegie
Hall owes its existence to Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy owner of a steel company in the late 1800s. The
hall was finished in 1891 and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent performing arts hall where
accomplished musicians gained fame. Despite its reputation, however, the concert hall suffered from
several detrimental renovations over the years. During the Great Depression, when fewer people could
afford to attend performances, the directors sold part of the building to commercial businesses. As a
result, a coffee shop was opened in one corner of the building, for which the builders replaced the brick
and terra cotta walls with windowpanes. A renovation in 1946 seriously damaged the acoustical quality of
the hall when the makers of the film Carnegie Hall cut a gaping hole in the dome of the ceiling to allow
for lights and air vents. The hole was later covered with short curtains and a fake ceiling but the hall never
sounded the same afterwards.
In 1960, the violinist Isaac Stern became involved in restoring the hall after a group of real estate
developers unveiled plans to demolish Carnegie Hall and build a high-rise office building on the site.
This threat spurred Stern to rally public support for Carnegie Hall and encourage the City of New
York to buy the property. The movement was successful, and the concert hall is now owned by the city.
In the current restoration, builders tested each new material for its sound qualities, and they replaced the
hole in the ceiling with a dome. The builders also restored the outer walls to their original appearance and
closed the coffee shop. Carnegie has never sounded better, and its prospects for the future have never
looked more promising.
Question 36. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. changes to Carnegie Hall
B. the appearance of Carnegie Hall
C. Carnegie Hall’s history during the Great Depression
D. damage to the ceiling in Carnegie Hall
Question 37. The word “it” in the first paragraph refers to ________.

question.
The concept of traffic-free shopping areas goes back a long time. During the Middle Ages, traffic- free
shopping areas known as souks were built in Middle Eastern countries to allow people to shop in comfort
and safety. As far back as 2,000 years ago, road traffic was banned from central Rome during the day to
allow for the free movement of pedestrians, and was only allowed in at night when shops and markets had
closed for the day.
The modern, traffic-free shopping street was born in Europe in the 1960s, when both city populations
and car ownership increased rapidly. Dirty exhaust fumes from cars and the risks involved in crossing the
road were beginning to make shopping an unpleasant and dangerous experience. Many believed the time
was right for experimenting with car-free streets, and shopping areas seemed the best place to start.
At first, there was resistance from shopkeepers. They believed that such a move would be bad for
business. They argued that people would avoid streets if they were unable to get to them in their cars.
When the first streets in Europe were closed to traffic, there were even noisy demonstrations as many
shopkeepers predicted they would lose customers.
However, research carried out afterwards in several European cities revealed some unexpected
statistics. In Munich, Cologne and Hamburg, visitors to shopping areas increased by 50 percent. On
Copenhagen’s main shopping street, shopkeepers reported sales increases of 25-40 percent. Shopkeepers
in Minneapolis, USA, were so impressed when they learnt this that they even offered to pay for the
construction and maintenance costs of their own traffic-free streets.
With the arrival of the traffic–free shopping street, many shops, especially those selling things like
clothes, food and smaller luxury items, prospered. Unfortunately, it wasn’t good news for everyone, as
shops selling furniture and larger electrical appliances actually saw their sales drops. Many of these were
forced to move elsewhere, away from the city centre. Today they are a common feature on the outskirts of
towns and cities, often situated in out- of-town retail zones with their own car parks and other local
facilities.
(Adapted from Complete IELTS Band 4-5 by Rawdon Wyatt)

question.
Times are tough. The nightly news is filled with stories of people who have lost their jobs due to the
economic crisis, or lost their homes in a fire or natural disaster. Have you ever seen people who have just
endured an awful situation? Some focus on what they have lost, and this is easy to understand. But other
people focus on what they did not lose, and they start thinking about a better future.
One good piece of advice to remember is that you cannot always control situations or other people.
The only thing you can control is your own personal reaction to bad situations. Sometimes a situation
may really be overwhelming. However, in many cases, you really can influence our own moods by the
way you think about negative situations.
Imagine two families: Both have lost their homes and all their belongings in a devastating storm. One
family cannot mask their grief. They feel that everything they hold dear has been destroyed. They cannot
imagine how they will ever be able to replace things and start over again. Their normal life seems to have
been completely lost. In contrast, a second family is crying with joy. All of the people in their family are
unharmed and safe. This family is just happy that everyone has survived. This family is already trying to
figure out how they can recover. You can’t really blame the first family for experiencing a very normal
reaction to a terrible situation. However, the second family certainly seems to be better off. They are
thinking about making progress rather than focusing on the tragic events.
Though this scenario is extreme, everyone experiences setbacks that seem just awful at the time.
This could be a job loss, illness, or problems with family members. Nobody gets through life without
having some bad things happen. In these situations, try to focus on the steps you can take to remedy the
situation, instead of how awful the setback is. By doing this, you will be laying the foundation for a better
tomorrow. And you will not suffer as much pain today.
Actually, controlling how you feel and trying to maintain a positive attitude can help you through
many tough situations. The bottom line is, no matter what the problem is, you are more likely to fix it if
you can stay positive and work out a plan. Also, never be afraid to seek help when you need it. The
advice of a friend, family member, or even a professional may be all it takes to get back on track.
It may sound like a cliché. While a positive attitude may not be the answer to every problem, it can
certainly give you an advantage in surviving most of life’s minor setbacks.

Vietnam’s population is ageing quickly. In 2017, more than 10 per cent of the population will be 60
and older, and in 15-20 years the elderly will account for one third of the total population. This raises
concerns about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly at a time when Vietnam is focusing on
economic integration and requires a large labor force. So far two solutions have been proposed: to loosen
the two-child policy and to increase the retirement age to 58 for women and 62 for men. By ending the
two-child policy the government expects to make up for the ageing population within the next 20 years.
But its effect could be creating an uncontrollable boom in the Vietnamese population. When the
government loosened the two-child policy in 2015 in a trial period, in the first 6 months of 2016 the third
child birth rate increased remarkably by 7.5 per cent
Raising the retirement age has been proposed by the Ministry of Labor pending parliamentary
evaluation in May 2017. While the policy is beneficial in utilizing the work experience of the elderly
while creating savings in the pension budget, it also means fewer job prospects and promotion
opportunities for younger generations. It is also not in the interest of all the elderly, especially the 70 per
cent of Vietnam's labor force working in manual labor-intensive sectors such as agriculture,
manufacturing and construction where working above the age of 50 can be dangerous and unproductive.
Despite these drawbacks, raising the retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key
solutions to the ageing population problem in Vietnam. However, these are only temporary solutions.
Question 31. The best title for this passage could be ________.
A. Vietnam struggling with ageing population B. Stopping the two-child policy in Vietnam
C. Raising the retirement age in Vietnam D. How to solve the aging population in Vietnam
Question 32. Which statement is probably TRUE according to the information in the paragraph 1?
A. In 2017, the elderly take up for one third of the total population, this leads to more concerns about
healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly.
B. In 2015, the two-child policy has been officially tightened and succeeded.
C. The government would promote families to have two children to compensate for the ageing
population within the next 20 years.
D. In the next 15-17 years, Vietnam's economy will need a large labor force to integrate with global
economy.
Question 33. The word “its" in paragraph 1 refers to ________?
A. two-Child policy B. aging population C. retirement age D. economic integration
Question 34. In the 2rd paragraph, the writer suggests that ________.
A. The Ministry of Labor has applied raising the retirement age in May 2017.
B. Raising the retirement age can reduce job opportunities for younger generations.
C. The elderly whose age is 50 would be dangerous if they continued to work
D. Raising the retirement age and stopping two-child policy can be considered as long-term and
effective solutions.
Question 35. The word "temporary" in paragraph 2 means ________.
A. constant B. permanent C. short-term D. long-term

question.
Coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world, housing tens of thousands of
marine species. With their hardened surfaces, corals are sometimes mistaken as being rocks. And,
because they are attached, “taking root” to the seafloor, they are often mistaken for plants. However,
unlike rocks, corals are alive. And unlike plants, corals do not make their own food. Corals are in fact
animals. Appearing as solitary forms in the fossil record more than 400 million years ago, corals are
extremely ancient animals that evolved into modern reef-building forms over the last 25 million years.
Coral reefs are the largest structures on earth of biological origin. Coral reefs are unique and complex
systems. Rivaling old growth forests in longevity of their ecological communities, well-developed reefs
reflect thousands of years of history.
Corals are ancient animals related to jellyfish and anemones. The branch or mound that we often call
“a coral” is actually made up of thousands of tiny animals called polyps. A coral polyp is an invertebrate
that can be no bigger than a pinhead to up to 30 centimeters (1 foot) in diameter. The polyps extend their
tentacles at night to sting and ingest tiny organisms called plankton and other small creatures. Each polyp
has a saclike body and a mouth that is encircled by stinging tentacles. The polyp uses calcium carbonate
(limestone) from seawater to build a hard, cup-shaped skeleton. This skeleton protects the soft, delicate
body of the polyp.
Reefs only occur in shallow areas that are reachable by sunlight because of the relationship between
coral and algae. Various types of microscopic algae, known as Symbiodinium, live inside of the coral,
providing them with food and helping them to grow faster.
There are over 2,500 kinds (species) of corals. About 1,000 are the hard corals that build coral reefs.
Other corals are soft corals. Soft corals have skeletons that are flexible and can bend with the water. The
three main types of coral reefs are fringing reefs, barrier reefs, and coral atolls. The most common type of
reef is the fringing reef. This type of reef grows seaward directly from the shore. They form borders
along the shoreline and surrounding islands. When a fringing reef continues to grow upward from a
volcanic island that has sunk entirely below sea level, an atoll is formed. Atolls are usually circular or
oval in shape, with an open lagoon in the center. Any reef that is called a barrier reef gets its name
because its presence protects the shallow waters along the shore from the open sea. That protection
promotes the survival of many types of sea plant and animal life.
(Adapted from http://justfunfacts.com)

A. Coral reefs are mistaken for rocks and plants because of their hardened surface and “roots”.
B. Polyps are the composition of corals.
C. The skeleton of a polyp is created from calcium carbonate in seawater.
D. Corals absorb food in the sunlight using their tentacles.
Question 40. With the help of myriad species of tiny algae, reefs ________.

The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive
force that it was during the Vietnam era, a 2009 study suggests. The Pew Research Center study found
that 79% of Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at
the world. In 1969, a Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.
Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as
divisive. That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young
and old, according to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents
are likely to have observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young
adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is
twofold.
First, the two largest areas of difference—technology and music—are less emotionally charged than
political issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in
technology rather than to view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its
own style of music, and the older generation generally can relate to that desire.
Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation
as superior to their own generation—clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't
trust anyone over thirty." According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior
in moral values, work ethic and respect for others.

question.
The reason women appear to be at greater risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease than men might be
due to a number of genetic, anatomical and even social influences, researchers have suggested.
Recent figures show about 65% of those with living with dementia in the UK are women, with a
similar statistic seen in the US for Alzheimer’s disease, while dementia is the leading cause of death for
women in England. Alzheimer’s disease is only one of the types of dementia, but the most common form.
While one explanation is that dementia risk increases with age, and women have longer life expectancies
than men, new research suggests there might be more to the matter, including that protein tangles found
within neurons and linked to Alzheimer’s disease might spread differently in women’s brains than men’s.
The study, presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Los Angeles by
researchers from Vanderbilt University and which has not yet been peer-reviewed, used scans from a
method called positron emission tomography. That allowed them to look at the way clumps of a protein
called tau were spread in the brains of 123 men and 178 women without cognitive problems, as well as
101 men and 60 women with mild cognitive problems – although not yet diagnosed with Alzheimer’s
disease. Cognitively normal older people often have small amounts of tau in certain areas of their brain.
From the data the team could build maps showing which areas of the brain show similar signals
relating to tau in the scans, suggesting they are somehow connected. “Based on that we kind of try to
reconstruct the pattern of spread,” Dr Sepideh Shokouhi, who is presenting the research, told the
Guardian. “It is kind of like reconstructing a crime scene.” The team says the results suggest these maps
look different in women and men, suggesting tau might be able to spread more rapidly across the female
brain.
Other research presented at the conference – and also not yet peer reviewed – added weight to the
idea that there might be differences between men and women that affect dementia risk. Research by
scientists at the University of Miami has revealed a handful of genes and genetic variants appear to be
linked to Alzheimer’s disease in just one biological sex or the other. While the actual importance of these
factors has yet to be unpicked, and the study only looked at white participants, the team says it
underscores that there could be a genetic reason for differences in the risk of dementia in men and
women, and the way it develops.

Bali, the fabled "Island of the Gods", has been enchanting visitors for centuries with its rich cultural
traditions and spectacular panoramas. From lofty, mist enshrouded volcanoes and cool mountain lakes
down through terraced rice fields to a golden strand lapped by azure waters, every square inch of Bali
offers a fresh and unforgettable image.
No less enchanting are its people, some 2.7 million souls whose artistry and piety are recognized
throughout the world Balinese Hinduism, a complex fusion of Indian cosmology. Tantric Buddhism and
homegrown mythology, is the primary faith of Bali's inhabitants, and so deeply woven into the fabric of
their daily lives that the line between the spiritual and the material is blurry at best.
Those of you keen on delving into the island's fascinating culture will have plenty of opportunities, as
colorful ceremonies and traditional performances occur with regularity of sunrise. Most hotels offer
nightly dance shows of one form or another, tailored to tourist audiences but none the less exquisite. The
hill town of Ubud, the island's premier arts center, also has a full schedule of performance, and the nearby
stone-cutter's village of Batubulan is famed for its Barong lion dances. The shoppers among you will find
Bali a treasure house of handicrafts and fine works of art. The Balinese are incredibly gifted artists and
craftsmen, and their material creations are imbued with the same sense of wonderment with which they
regard their universe. Stone and wood carvings, traditional and modern paintings and intricately designed
jewelry in gold and silver are readily in shops and galleries throughout the island.
As for recreation, there is no shortage of option. Nature walks, horseback riding, diving, surfing, even
bungy jumping, and white water rafting await the adventurous here.

question.
Many people see large urban cities as a wonder of human imagination and creativity. They represent
how far the human population has come in terms of community development. Many positive things come
from urbanization, but there are also negatives. This article will discuss and present data on the
implications of urbanization on the physical health of humans living in these large urban areas.
As it would be expected, developing countries tend to see more negative physical health effects than
modern countries in regard to urbanization. One example of a developing country experiencing these
3 148
problems is China. China is a country that in the past 30–40 years went from being an agrarian based
society to a significant industrialized country. This industrialization has in effect caused the need for more
centralized cities, centralized meaning having lots of jobs and living spaces within a close proximity. This
is what is known as urbanization. In most recent decades, since China’s change to being more of an
industrial based economy, the country has experienced record high numbers of people migrating within
its borders. In effect, the number of cities with over 500,000 people has more than doubled. These
migrations are typically of people from rural areas of China moving to the new urban areas. Due to this
large influx in the urban population, there are many possibilities for health challenges among these
people.
One very common and fairly obvious negative aspect of highly congested urban areas is air
pollution. Air pollution is defined as any harmful substance being suspended in the air. This could include
particulate matter, most commonly attributed to industrial plants and refineries waste, or chemicals like
CO2 or Methane (which are also products of plants and refineries as well as cars and other modes of
transportation). Due to a vast number of people in these urbanized cities, the air pollution is known to be
very extreme. These conditions can lead to many different health problems such as: Asthma,
cardiovascular problems or disease, and different types of cancer (most commonly lung cancer). When
exposed to these conditions for a prolonged period of time, one can experience even more detrimental
health effects like: the acceleration of aging, loss of lung capacity and health, being more susceptible to
respiratory diseases, and a shortened life span.
Another way that urbanization affects the populations’ health is people’s change in diet. For instance,
urban cities tend to have lots of accessible, quick, and easy to get food. This food is also more than likely
not as high quality as well as contains a large amount of sodium and sugar. Because this food is so
accessible, people tend to eat it more. This increase in consumption of low quality food can then lead to
diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, obesity, or many other health conditions.

question.
Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this water
first thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body
temperature; neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your
kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After
drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps us go to
the bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don’t drink all of that
water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It’s better to
drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to drink between
meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can
interfere with normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are
probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A
little more water each day could make you much healthier.

Plastic bags are used by everybody. From a vegetable vendor to a designer store, everyone seems to
use them. Even though they are one of the modern conveniences that we seem to be unable to do without,
they are responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and using up the precious resources of the
Earth. But, most of us are blissfully unaware of the repercussions that are occurring and will take place
in the future because of the plastic bags.
Every once in a while, the government passes out an order banning store owners from providing
plastic bags to customers for carrying their purchases, with little lasting effect. Plastic bags are very
popular with both retailers as well as consumers because they are cheap, strong, lightweight, functional,
as well as a hygienic means of carrying food as well as other goods. About a hundred billion plastic bags
are used every year in the U.S. alone. And then, when one considers the huge economies and populations
of India, China, Europe, and other parts of the world, the numbers can be staggering. The problem is
further exacerbated by the developed countries shipping off their plastic waste to developing countries
like India.

Once they are used, most bags go into landfills. Each year, more and more bags are ending up
littering the environment. Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way into our waterways, parks,
beaches, and streets. And, if they are burned, they infuse the air with toxic fumes. About 100,000 animals,
such as dolphins, turtles, whales, penguins are killed every year due to these bags. Many animals ingest
plastic bags, mistaking them for food, and therefore, die. And worse, the ingested plastic bag remains
intact even after the death and decomposition of the animal. Thus, it lies around in the landscape where
another victim may ingest it. One of the worst environmental effects is that they are non-biodegradable.
The decomposition takes about 400 years. No one will live so long to witness the decomposition of
plastic! Thus, save the environment for the future generations as well as animals.
Petroleum products are diminishing and getting more expensive by the day, since we have used this
non-renewable resource increasingly. And to make plastic, about 60-100 million barrels of oil are needed
every year around the world. Surely, this precious resource should not be wasted on producing plastic
bags, should it? Petroleum is vital for our modern way of life. It is necessary for our energy requirements
- for our factories, transportation, heating, lighting, and so on. Without viable alternative sources of
energy yet on the horizon, if the supply of petroleum were to be turned off, it would lead to practically the
entire world grinding to a halt.
So, what can be done? A tote bag can make a good substitute for carrying groceries and the shopping.
You can keep the bag with the cashier, and then put your purchases into it instead of the usual plastic bag.
Recycling the bags you already have is another good idea. These can come into use for various purposes,
like holding your garbage, instead of purchasing new ones. While governments may be working out ways
to lessen the impact of plastic bags on the environment; however, each of us should shoulder some of the
responsibility for this problem, which ultimately harms us. Plastics are not only non-biodegradable, but
are one of the major pollutants of the sea. For a clean and green environment, try to use alternatives to
plastic whenever and wherever possible. Cut down your use of plastic, and do your bit to save our planet.

We first learn about loving and caring relationships from our families. Family is defined as a domestic
group of people with some degree of kinship - whether through blood, marriage, or adoption. Ideally,
each child is nurtured, respected, and grows up to care for others and develop strong and healthy
relationships. This does not mean that it is always easy to make and keep friends; it just means that we
share the goal of having strong relationships.
"Family" includes your siblings and parents, as well as relatives who you may not interact with every day,
such as your cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and stepparents. These are probably the people you are
closest to and with whom you spend the most time. Having healthy relationships with your family
members is both important and difficult.
Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single parent, blended (more than
one family together in the same house], and gay and lesbian parents -just to name a few. No matter the
"type" of family you have, there are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad. Many times,
however, families become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and confusion. These are
natural and normal, and few families do not have at least a few experiences with them. The worst time for
most families, is during a divorce. By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world and
deal with other people, it is possible to create happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be units
of mutual caring and support; they can be sources of lifelong strength for all individuals.

There are many theories of aging, but virtually all fall into the category of being hypotheses with a
minimum of supporting evidence. One viewpoint is that aging occurs as the body's organ systems become
less efficient. Thus failures in the immune system, hormonal system, and nervous system could all
produce characteristics that we associate with aging. Following a different vein, many current researchers
are looking for evidence at the cellular and sub cellular level.

only a limited number of times and then die. (Only cancer cells seem immortal in this respect). Fibroblast
cells from an embryo divide more times than those taken from an adult. Thus some researchers believe
that aging occurs at the cellular level and is part of the cell's genetic makeup. Any event that disturbs the
cell's genetic machinery such as mutation, damaging chemicals in the cell's environment, or loss of
genetic material, could cause cells to lose their ability to divide and thus bring on aging. Other theories of
aging look at different processes. Chronological aging refers to the passage of time since birth and is
usually measured in years. While chronological age can be useful in estimating the average status of a
large group of people, it is a poor indicator of an individual person's status because there is a tremendous
amount of variation from one individual to the next in regard to the rate at which biological age changes
occur. For example, on the average, aging results in people losing much of their ability to perform
strenuous activities, yet some elderly individuals are excellent marathon runners.
advancing age. This includes changes in the body and changes in other aspects of a person's appearance,
such as the style of hair and clothing, the type of eyeglasses, and the use of a hearing aid. Like
chronological aging, it is frequently used to estimate the degree to which other types of aging have
occurred. However, it is an inaccurate indicator for either purpose because of variation among individuals
and because a person's appearance is affected by many factors that are not part of aging, including illness,
poor nutrition, and exposure to sunlight

Table manners differ around the world. If you visit a friend’s home for a meal, it’s good to know about
the customs they follow.
If you are invited to a Moroccan’s home, bring a gift of sweet pastries, nuts, figs, dates, or flowers to
the hostess. In many traditional homes, people often sit on the floor to eat a meal. Often, everyone shares
food from the same 10 plate. The plate is put in the centre of the table. Usually, everyone also drinks
water from the same glass. Only eat the food in front of you. Don’t reach across someone for food. It is
common to use you your fingers and small pieces of bread to eat food. Use only your right hand to eat.
Don’t say “no” to food. If the host of the meal offers you food or drink, take some and try a little. In
many Moroccan homes, it is common to take off your shoes.
Tanzania is known for its fresh fish and spices. Don’t act scared if your meal comes with its head still
on the plate. It is polite to try a bite of everything. In many Tanzania homes, people sit at a table on a
small stools to eat. It is OK to eat with your right hand, using bread or chapati to pick up food. Everyone
may take food from the same plate., but it is not usual for people to share drinks. You may compliment
the cook on a delicious meal, but don’t exaggerate. In some parts of Tanzania, men and women still sit at
different tables. Also remember: it is common to take off your shoes in the home, but it is rude to show
the bottom of your foot.

Nepal has made important progress over the past few years to promote equality, but the country still has
one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world. 41% of Nepalese girls are married before the age
of 18.
3 163
Poverty is both a cause and consequence of child marriage in Nepal. Girls from the wealthiest families
marry 2 years later than those from the poorest, who are seen as an economic burden, and who drop out
of school and earn little money.
Food insecurity plays an important role too. Nepalese families that do not have enough food to eat are
more likely to marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial burden. One study shows
that 91% of people who had secure access to food married over the age of 19.
Dowry is also common practice in many communities. Parents marry their daughters as soon as possible
because the money they have to pay to the groom’s family is higher if their daughter is older. Since 2010,
the legal age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or 18 with parental consent, according to the
Nepalese Country Code.
The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to three years and a fine of up
to 10,000 rupees (£102). But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied. There has been quite a lot of
progress in Nepal over the past 3 years with a clear government commitment to ending child marriage and
civil society cooperation. The Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare is currently developing
Nepal’s first national strategy on child marriage in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal and Girls Not
Brides Nepal. However, the post-earthquake and post-fuel crisis environment has meant progress is slow
and the national strategy has been delayed.

Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re
working and when you’re not. You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the
office if you stick with your regular hours. Plus, if your role is collaborative, being on the same schedule
as your coworkers makes everything much easier.
“The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in
charge of your environment and have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says. This means
holding yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is enough, just as a good manager
might. “If you feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the
evening...tell yourself it’s time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind. The
work will be there in the morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical. Communicate with the people
whom you live with to establish boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—
and then disconnect and give the people you care about your full attention. Having a separate time and
space to work will allow you to be more present in your home life.

Obesity is associated with a shorter lifespan and with an increased risk of many chronic diseases.
The good news is that just being somewhat overweight does not reduce your longevity, and for those over
the age of 65, it is actually better to be on the high side of normal than the low side.
A 2018 study (part of the Framingham heart study) looked at body mass index and mortality over a
period of 24 years. For those who were obese, people that had a body mass index of 30 to 35 had a 27%
increase in mortality, and those who had a body mass index of 35 to 40 had a 93% increase.
What weight is ideal? Among those who were overweight but not obese (had a body mass index
between 25 and 30), mortality was only increased among those who also smoked. People with a body
mass index on the high side of normal (e.g. 24) had the lowest mortality.
There isn't any real magic when it comes to maintaining (or getting to) a normal body mass index.
Eating a healthy diet, not too much and avoiding empty calorie, and exercising daily, even if it's fun
activities such as gardening, are the true "secret."
In the past, eating breakfast was stressed as necessary for optimal health. Research is now changing
that thought, and intermittent fasting (going for 13 or more hours each day without eating) may have
some benefits. Though the concept and research to back it up are young, intermittent fasting may help
with weight loss and appears to have benefits in cancer risk reduction as well.
If you are struggling, talk with your doctor. But keep in mind that fad diets do not work, and your
greatest chance of success lies in adopting long-term healthy eating patterns and engaging in regular
physical activity for life.

In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a
greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources. Fortunately, there are a number of readily
available, renewable resources that are both cost- effective and earth - friendly. Two such resources are
solar power and geothermal power.
3 173
Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the needs of
worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar energy is easily harnessed through the use
of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. In the us alone, more than 100, 000 homes are
equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts of
the world, including many developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily.
Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal
power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth. Hot water and steam
that are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which
produces electricity. Geothermal energy is 50,000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of
fossil fuel resources and as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is
fairly simple. A prime example of effective geothermal use in Iceland, a region of high geothermal
activity where there are over 80 percent of private homes, are heated by geothermal power.
Solar and geothermal energy are just two of promising renewable alternatives to conventional energy
sources. The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on global
scale.
Question 38. what is the main topic of this passage?
A. The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources.
B. Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized.
C. How energy resources are tapped from nature.
D. Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide.
Question 39. which of the following words could best replace the word “abundant”?
A. a lot B. scarce C. little D. enough
Question 40. The word “it” in the second paragraph refers to_____________
A. solar energy B. the earth C. sunlight D. energy consumption
Question 41. According to the passage, how is solar energy production similar to geothermal
energy production?
A. They both require the use of a generator.
B. They both use heat from the earth’s surface.
C. They both require fairly simple technology.
D. They are both conventional and costly.
Question 42. what best describes the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To warn people about the hazards of fossil fuel use.
B. To convince people of the benefits of developing alternative energy sources.
C. To describe the advantages and disadvantages of alternative energy use.
D. To outline the problems and solutions connected with global warming.
correct answer to each of the following questions from 43 to 50.
According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as
the leader of a social group in the United States. In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer
leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons
may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups,
leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment.
Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have
failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders.” It seems that there
is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be
recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.
4 174
Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research
suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals.
Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group
members look to instrumental leaders to “get things” done. Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is
leadership that emphasizes the collective well¬being of a social group’s member. Expressive leader are
less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group
members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them. Group members expect
expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to individual
members. Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group
members. They give orders and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the groups
goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They
offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten
a serious moment with humor, and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the
differences in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection
from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy
a more distant respect.
Question 43. what does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How leadership differs in small and large groups
B. The role of leaders in social groups
C. The problems faced by leaders
D. How social groups determine who will lead them
Question 44. The passage mentions all of the following ways by which people can become leaders
EXCEPT___________
A. recruitment B. specific leadership training
C. traditional cultural patterns D. formal election process
Question 45. which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from paragraph 2?
A. person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership.
B. Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications.
C. A person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be an effective leader in another
group.
D. Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person.
Question 46. The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus on___________
A. sharing responsibility with group members
B. achieving a goal
C. ensuring harmonious relationships
D. identifying new leaders
Question 47. The word “collective” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to___________

C. avoid repeating D. avoid thinking about
Question 50. Paragraphs 3 and 4 organize the discussion of leadership primarily in terms
