Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions from 1 to 7.
Fossil fuels are the cause of many problems. They create terrible pollution which leads to global
warming. Many wars are fought to control oil and gas fields. Fossil fuels are also nonrenewable
resources. They will be exhausted some day. Societies around the world suffer when fuel shortages
occur.
Can solar power completely replace fossil fuels? Solar power is clean, safe, and inexpensive. But
the idea of replacing fossil fuels with solar power alone is totally unrealistic. Current solar cell technology
is not advanced enough. Solar cells are not dependable. They are useless in cloudy and rainy weather as
well as at night. Also, they take up too much space. Then they fail to produce sufficient amounts of
power.
The soft energy path is a good alternative to fossil fuel reliance. The soft energy path is an energy
conservation plan. It is an alternative to the hard energy path. Hard energy is defined as harmful and
nonrenewable. Fossil fuels and nuclear power are included. On the other hand, soft energy is defined as
renewable and environmentally safe energy. Solar and wind power are soft energy. Biofuel and
geothermal energy are also included.
There are many proponents of the soft energy path. They believe the solution lies in new energy
production methods. The first step is to practice careful conservation in our use of hard energy
technologies. Then, many new soft energy sources will be phased into use as soft energy technology
improves.
Some critics claim this will damage all energy production. They feel fossil fuels are important.
They want to control as much oil production as possible. They think fossil fuel consumption is good for
industry.
Countries such as Canada and Sweden are taking the soft energy path. Canada is currently
lessening its reliance on gasoline. In the next few years, all gasoline will contain a percentage of biofuel.
Sweden has committed to decrease its reliance on oil by 40%. It says it can do this before the year 2020.

As the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic hit the country in 2021, students had to study and
take exams online. However, cheating on online exams has caused headaches for schools. To help schools
prevent and discover cheating, a group of young alumni of the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of
Technology (PTIT) invented a piece of software which can detect cheating in up to 80 per cent of cases.
According to the project leader, the EduExam online exam system using AI technology can be
used for all levels of education, for all kinds of tests. The system is easy to use and install on computers
and laptops.
The cheating detection software is employed to detect the presence of another person, electronic
device usage, and if candidates are absent. It also helps to detect unusual behaviour during the exam with
eye and face direction detection. The software can also detect human voice and sound, noise or the use of
applications for fraud such as messaging or internet searches. Students will also be detected when they
take screenshots, copy and paste during the exams. The AI system also supports the monitoring of
keyboard and mouse movements, helping to prevent revealing exam content to other people.
