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.
The first mobile phone was very expensive. It cost about $3,995, which is a lot of money! Not many people could
afford it back then.
The phone was also not very convenient. It was big and not easy to carry around. You could only use it in certain
places because there weren't many mobile towers.
But, even with these limitations, the first mobile phone was a big step forward. It showed that we could talk on
the phone without being tied to a wire. This was a big deal because before mobile phones, you could only use a
telephone at home or in a phone booth.
Over time, mobile phones became smaller, more affordable, and more powerful. Today, we have smartphones that
can do many things besides making calls. We can send messages, take pictures, and even use them like a
computer.
The first mobile phone was the beginning of a great invention that has changed the world. It showed us that we
could be connected no matter where we are. Now, mobile phones are part of our daily lives, helping us
communicate, work, and have fun.

ON TOP OF THE WORLD
In January 2015, Kevin Jorgeson and Tommy Caldwell climbed to the top of the Dawn Wall of El Capitan − a famous
mountain in Yosemite National Park, USA. This is often described as the world’s most difficult rock climb. It took Jorgeson
and Caldwell eighteen days to climb the 900 metres to the top! During this time, they hung tents off the rock, and ate and
slept in them. The Dawn Wall is so difficult because there is nothing big for climbers to hold onto. Jorgeson and Caldwell
had to climb by holding tiny pieces of rocks with the ends of their fingers. They used ropes to protect themselves from
falling, but not to help them climb.
Kevin Jorgeson nearly didn't finish the climb. He found one part of the Dawn Wall extremely difficult. It took him seven
days to do this part, and he fell eleven times. His fingers were damaged too, so he had to wait for them to get better before he
could continue. But in the end, both men finished the climb together. It was an amazing achievement.
Only two weeks later, an ice climber called Will Gadd became the first person to climb a frozen part of the Niagara Falls.
These falls, on the Niagara River between America and Canada, are the biggest waterfalls in North America. They are made
of three separate waterfalls, and Gadd climbed the Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side. In winter, a part of these 50.9
metre falls freezes, and Gadd wanted to climb up the ice. But it was an extremely difficult climb. The ice was very thick in
some places, but not in other places. And because only a part of the waterfall was frozen, a lot of water fell past Gadd as he
climbed. Gadd knew that if he fell, he would probably die− but he got to the top.
But why do people want to do dangerous climbs like these? 'Dangerous situations are very exciting,' says climber
Terrence Jones. 'They make you feel alive.' Humans have always looked for challenges, but many of the old challenges – like
climbing Mount Everest – aren’t exciting enough for some climbers because so many people have already done them.
‘Climbers like Caldwell and Gadd want to achieve more than anyone else,’ says Jones, ‘so that the world will read about
them in the papers and see them on TV.’
One day people will complete all of the difficult climbs on Earth, so what will climbers do then? ‘I don’t know,’ says
Jones. ‘But perhaps one day far in the future people won’t climb on Earth. There are still mountains to climb on Mars!’ This
may never happen, of course, but one thing is certain: the search for adventure will not stop.
Question 36. What is true about the climb of the Dawn Wall?
A. The climbers couldn't sleep until they finished. B. The climbers completed it at the same time.
C. Both climbers found it quite easy. D. Ropes helped both men to climb.
Question 37. The writer says that Will Gadd’s climb was difficult because _____
A. he got wet. B. it was in three parts.
C. the ice was different in different places. D. it was extremely cold.
Question 38. Terrence Jones thinks that people do dangerous climbs because ______
A. they like the excitement. B. they want to die.
C. they feel lucky to be alive. D. they aren’t afraid of anything.
Question 39. He suggests that in the future, some people _____
A. will find more challenging climbs on Earth. B. won’t want to climb mountains any more.
C. will be more interested in space travel. D. may climb on other planets.

answer to each of the following questions.
The Advantages of Using Wi-Fi on Your Smartphone
Wi-Fi is a method for devices such as smartphones to connect wirelessly to the Internet using radio waves.
Connecting to the Internet using Wi-Fi requires a hotspot, but it is always faster than the 3G cellular networks
which smartphones can also use to connect, and occasionally faster than 4G. Using Wi-Fi when it is available can
also prove to be cheaper and make your phone run more efficiently in the long run than relying on cellular
networks.
When you use a Wi-Fi network to access the Internet from your phone, the data usage does not count against
your bundled data. Mobile providers often allocate a certain amount of data for free each month and charge you a
fee for any data usage beyond this. By connecting via Wi-Fi wherever it is available, you can save your bundled
data for situations when you might not be close to any Wi-Fi hotspots.
In many situations, your speed using a strong, dedicated Wi-Fi connection is faster than that of using your
mobile network. It is very noticeable when transferring larger files. If you need to download large files or stream
media to your smartphone in a hurry, it is much better to do so via Wi-Fi.
Battery life is extremely important for smartphones because you will not be able to connect to the Internet or
use certain functions such as the camera flash if your battery is too low. Using Wi-Fi to connect to the Internet
drains less battery life than using a mobile network, especially in situations where the cellular coverage fluctuates.
Since Wi-Fi is generally faster than using mobile networks, you will also not spend as much time transferring the
data, which further decreases battery usage.
Question 36. Using Wi-Fi offers longer battery life because ______.
A. it required so little energy while the cellular coverage fluctuates
B. it required less time with the same task than using mobile networks
C. you will be able to connect to other devices when your battery is now
D. the Internet harms the battery life so much
Question 37. The word "drains" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. increases B. improves C. reduces D. Saves
Question 38. A Wi-Fi connection offers ______.
A. faster smartphones B. no need for hurry C. better large files D. better speeds
Question 39. By using Wi-Fi, you ______.
A. can use a certain amount of data for free each month
B. may stay under the data capacity allocated by mobile providers
C. save your bundled data for situations when you use a Wi-Fi network
D. can use all your bundled data for free
Question 40. The following are the advantages of using Wi-Fi on your smartphone EXCEPT that ______.
A. it does not need a hotspot to connect all your mobile devices
B. it is faster than the 3G cellular networks
C. it makes your phone run more efficiently in the long run.
D. it is cheaper than using the 3G networks.

According to a leading business consultancy, 3–14% of the global workforce will need to switch to a different

alongside increasingly capable machines. Dr Stella Pachidi from Cambridge Judge Business School believes that
some of the most fundamental changes are happening as a result of the 'algorithmication' of jobs (32) _______ are
dependent on data rather than on production - the so-called knowledge economy. Algorithms are capable of
learning from data to (33) _______ tasks that previously needed human judgement, such as reading legal contracts,

says Pachidi.
'(35) _______ these enhancements are not without consequences,' says Pachidi. 'If routine cognitive tasks are taken
over by AI, how do professions develop their future experts?' she asks. 'One way of learning about a job is
“legitimate peripheral participation” - a novice stands next to experts and learns by observation. If this isn't
happening, then you need to find new ways to learn.'

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.
Maria Alcalá of Madrid speaks for many Mediterranean people when she says that “a meal without olive oil would
be a bore.” No one knows when the Mediterranean civilizations initially fell in love with olives. That occurred
before recorded history. However, there is evidence that the cultivation of olive trees began in countries around the
Mediterranean Sea in approximately 4000 B.C., and 2,000 years after that people in the eastern Mediterranean
region began to produce oil from olives. The Mediterranean still accounts for 99 percent of all world olive oil
production.
From ancient times until today, the basic process of producing the oil is the same. First, whole olives are crushed.
Then, the liquid is separated from the solids. After that, the valuable oil is separated from the water. Many olive
growers maintain their ancient traditions and still harvest the olives by hand. “We harvest in the traditional way,”
says Don Celso, an olive farmer from Tuscany, Italy. "It would be less expensive to do it with machines, but it's
more a social thing. Twenty people come to help with the harvest, and we pay them in oil."
Olive oil has had a variety of uses through its long history. In ancient times, olive oil was used as money and as
medicine. It was even used during war-heated up and dropped down on attackers. It is still used in religious
ceremonies. It is great for protecting the freshness of fish and cheese. There are even olive oil lamps and olive oil
soaps. Olive oil enhances the lives of people everywhere. Its benefits, recently confirmed by science, were already
understood in ancient times. Mediterranean people are happy to share their secret with the world.
(Adapted from Reading Explorer 2 by Paul Maclntyre)

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.
In many ways, the increasingly rapid pace of climate change is a direct result of the growth of the human
population. In the last 100 years, the world population has more than tripled. Obviously, this has meant that the
world has needed to produce three times as much food, energy, and other natural resources.
In addition, the average person uses more energy and natural resources than the average person one hundred
years ago, meaning that the rates of consumption are actually much higher than just the increase in population
would imply.
All of these activities: food production, energy usage, and the use of natural resources, contribute to
climate change in some way. The greater amounts of oil and other fuels burned to create energy release chemicals
which add to global warming. In order to produce more food, farmers cut down trees to gain more land for their
fields. In addition, we cut down trees to build the houses needed for a larger population. Those trees are an
essential part of controlling global warming.
In addition to a growing population, the world also has a population that desires a higher standard of living
than in the past, and a higher standard of living requires the use of even more natural resources. For example,
China is the world’s most populous nation, with 1.3 billion people. Currently, the standard of living for most of
those people is far below that of people in first world nations. Therefore, the average Chinese citizen uses far
fewer natural resources and less energy than the average citizen of the US or Japan. If every Chinese person attains
a first world lifestyle, the amount of energy and natural resources needed in the world will double, even if the
standard of living in every other nation on Earth remains the same as it is today.

D. Food production decreases the ability of the air to release heat.
Question 39 According to the passage, how does the standard of living affect global warming?
A. Higher standards of living are better for the environment.
B. First world nations create less population than developing nations.
C. The use of natural resources is directly related to the standard of living.
