International Student Volunteers (ISV) is a California-based non-profit volunteer organization. Since
2002, more than 35,000 students have joined ISV to volunteer and make a difference during their summer
break. One of ISV's programs, High School Program (HSP), combining volunteer work and adventure
travel, is an 18-day program for high school students aged 15-18. Since its first launch in 2007 in Australia
for the first time, HSP has provided opportunities for students to make a difference to communities and
those in need while learning about responsibility and global issues.
Each group of students is led by a seasoned ISV leader and accompanied by a High School leader
(either teacher or coach) throughout their trip. HSP's regional staff are available to provide timely help.
Students can live, travel and learn in a fun environment. There are a lot of activities that build good
characters and inspire students to contribute their efforts and time to communities. For a couple of days,
students can visit local areas and learn about their cultures or difficulties faced by local people. For the other
days, they can join adventure activities to step out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves.
High school students can choose among three countries - Costa Rica, Dominican Republic or Thailand to
spend their trip. HSP intends to expand their network to other countries. If you're a high school student, give
it a shot!

correct answer to each of the questions.
Scientists have dreamed for a long time about building a ‘flying train’ which can float through the air
above the tracks. With Maglev technology, their dreams are now a reality. Maglev trains have no wheels.
Instead, powerful magnets lift them into the air and push them forward, at speeds of up to 500 km per hour.
As well as speed, Maglev has a number of advantages over other transport systems. The trains are quieter
and the journey is smoother because they don’t have wheels. They are also greener because they don’t use
fuel and so create less pollution. Right now there is only one high-speed Maglev train system in the world. It
carries passengers from Shanghai city centre to the airport. However, work has started on a new, longer
Maglev track in Japan. Trains will go from Tokyo to Nagoya in 40 minutes. But don’t expect to ride on it on
your next trip to Japan. It won’t open until 2027! Then, in 2045, the line will extend to Osaka.
There is one major problem with Maglev technology: it is incredibly expensive to build the tracks.
Transport planners predict that the Tokyo to Osaka line will cost 91 billion dollars. The high cost means that
Maglev technology probably won’t replace other forms of transport in the near future. However, the
technology is still in development and somebody might find a cheaper and simpler way to build the tracks.
And then, who knows? In the future, some of us might fly to work by train.

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 from 1 to 5.
Pollutants are clogging up the atmosphere above our planet and trapping the sun's heat. That makes
our planet warmer, which causes glaciers to melt, crazy weather patterns to develop, and natural disasters
spread like wildfires.
But there are other consequences that people don't always associate with climate change. One surprising
fact about global warming is that it makes people more aggressive.
As the world gets hotter, tempers also get fierier. A new study found that violent crimes and even war
become more likely as temperatures rise. Heart rates tend to be elevated in warm weather, so people are
prepped for a physical response to a situation. That’s not to say we're headed for a violent end as Earth
warms up, though. Advances in everything from technology to health have sparked a decline in conflict.
It's just that global warming might be slowing that decline. Climate change increases the amount of smog
in the air and causes plants to produce more pollen, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council.
Those combine to make breathing harder for people, which can be especially tricky for people with asthma
and other respiratory illnesses.
Question 1: What is the topic of the passage?
A. A global warming surprising fact B. Aggressive modem people
C. The bad effects of global warming D. A study on global warming
Question 2: What is trapping the sun’s heat?
A. The atmosphere B. Pollutant
C. Glaciers D. The atmosphere above our planet
Question 3: According to the paragraph 1, all of the following are results of our planet getting warmer
EXCEPT
A. Melting glaciers B. Increasing greenhouse gas
C. Natural disasters like wildfires D. Crazy weather patterns to develop
Question 4: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. other consequences B. global warming C. surprising fact D. climate change
Question 5: The word “elevated” is closest in meaning to
A. dropped B.grew C. enlarged D. raised
