Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
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 drawbacks 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. Until now,
Japan is still trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident.
There have been protests against nuclear energy in the United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan,
India, and many other countries because 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.
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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
The distinction between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a
single basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their relatives
such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures, the latter is the most common
basic form of social organization.
According to Kristy Jackson, an anthropologist, who does research on human race and its development, a
nuclear family is limited to one or two parents and their own child, or children, living together in a single
house. There is no upper or lower limit on the number of children in it.
The extended family is a much more unclear term because it can have different definitions in different
cultural settings. In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South American
Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization and
the people in those generally have the same ancestor.
In anthropology, the term "extended family" refers to such a group living together in a household, often
with three generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and usually headed by the
eldest man. However, in common parlance, the term "extended family" is often used by people simply to
refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though they are not living together in a single group.
Question 30. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The popularity of each family type
B. The changes of family types over times
C. The dominance of extended families over nuclear ones
D. The difference between nuclear families and extended ones

A. difference B. beauty C. difficulty D. similarity
Question 34. Historically, extended families were the most basic unit of social organization in all of the
following places EXCEPT _____.
A. Asia B. The Middle East C. Europe D. North America
