The Eiffel Tower is a very famous tower in Paris, France. It was named after the engineer who
designed it, Alexandre Eiffel. The tower was built in 1889.
Alexandre Eiffel was asked to build the tower when France decided to have a big fair to exhibit its
goods and wares. The tower was located in the middle of the fair as a special attraction. When the
structure first started to take shape, the people of France did not like it. They thought it looked like a
giant skeleton and was not attractive at all. However, when the tower was finally completed and lighted
up at night, the people quickly changed their minds. It was an enchanting sight and now looked like a
tower made of lace.
The Eiffel Tower is sometimes considered one of the seven wonders of the modern world. It is
300 meters high and people can take an elevator all the way to the top. From the tower, they can get a
marvelous view of the city and the River Seine which runs through it.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only
scientific instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet
they cause little harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges,
and other structures to collapse. They may additionally injure and kill thousands of people and might
even cause the land to change its appearance.
Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's
oceans. Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water
in the ocean. When this occurs, a tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and
moves in all directions from the place where the earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely
quickly and can travel thousands of kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets
sucked out to sea. This causes the tsunamis to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A
large tsunami - one more than ten metres in height - can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood
the land, destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers of people.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only
scientific instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet
they cause little harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges,
and other structures to collapse. They may additionally injure and kill thousands of people and might
even cause the land to change its appearance.
Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's
oceans. Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water
in the ocean. When this occurs, a tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and
moves in all directions from the place where the earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely
quickly and can travel thousands of kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets
sucked out to sea. This causes the tsunamis to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A
large tsunami - one more than ten metres in height - can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood
the land, destroy human settlements, and kill large numbers of people.

economical way to travel, especially for the families. It is also fairly fast and convenient. Excellent

 Many children have music classes when they attend school. So how exactly
can children benefit from studying music?
According to some studies, musical training can develop the part of children's
brain that is involved with languages, so they can understand their own language
better. It could also help with learning a second language. What’s more, children
who have studied music also seem to score better in other areas. For example,
reading music includes learning about quarter and half notes, which are basically
fractions, like in mathematics. And when children are learning about rhythm, they
are counting the notes in a piece of music. So these school subjects seem to be
connected.
Music can also let children explore new ideas, think in a creative way. and
gam confidence. If they are learning the guitar, it can be really exciting when they
can invent their own pieces of music. Moreover, when they do that, they are also
practising their listening skills because they have to listen carefully to the music they
are making. This is particularly important when they perform with other people.
One of the biggest benefits, of course, is that listening to music helps children
to be less stressed. And creating music can make them feel the same way. And who
knows? Maybe their musical knowledge will open up a great career path for them in
the future.

1: According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Studying can help children learn languages better.
B. Creating music helps improve children s listening skill.
C. Children with musical knowledge are certain to have a great career path.
D. There may be some links between music reading and maths.
2: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to ______________.
A. their own language B. children's brain
C. musical training D. a second
language
3: What are children learning about when counting the notes in a piece of music?
A. another language B. rhythm
C. their mother tongue D. fractions
4: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The influence of music on babies B. The link between music and maths
C. Career paths in music for children D. The benefits of learning music for
children

Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. To
generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be installed on
house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy.
Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages. Wind and water power
rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easy to break down. Solar cells are totally silent
and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long
lifetime. However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy
during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area to
work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much as
traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive. Scientists
are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and more people see the advantages of
this environmentally friendly source of energy
1. What does the passage primarily discuss?
A. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
B. Solar energy’s advantages over other sources of energy.
C. The cost of solar energy.
D. Solar energy as an alternative for fossil fuels.
2. Which of the following is the main disadvantage of solar energy mentioned in the passage?
A. It is expensive. B. It is unfriendly to the environment.
C. Solar cells require large areas to operate. D. It depends on sunlight
3. What does the word they in line 4 refer to?
A. solar energy users. B. other advantages.
C. solar cells. D. renewable resources
4. What does the word “advantages” in line 11 mean?
A. very bad. B. resources. C. benefits. D. friendly
