indicate the correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 24 to 28.
Since the first robot, humans have yearned for a machine (24)____ could perform all
household chores. The fact that robots are able to (25)_____monotonous and repetitive industry
labor raises the question: why not also manage monotonous and repetitive activities around the
house?
For a considerable period of time, amateurs interested in inventing were the only ones who
paid serious attention to the issue. In addition to this, they encountered a significant obstacle.
Consequently, one could argue that housework is indeed quite intricate. There has never been a
single job; rather, there have always been several jobs. A factor robot is a type of robot that
performs a single task indefinitely unless it undergoes reprogramming for a different activity. It
does not have complete control over the factory. A housekeeping robot, on the other hand, is
required to carry out (26)_____different types of cleaning and carrying activities, as well as to be

Scientists have been debating global warming for a long time. Despite their disagreements
about the potential consequences for Earth, the majority of scientists maintain that global
warming is indeed occurring and that we have the ability to halt it. To be certain, we need to
collect more data over the course of a few more years. However, individuals must act to
halt it right now.
A wide variety of gases make up our atmosphere. Some of them regulate our climate by
absorbing solar heat. The gases that trap heat over the globe's surface are known as "greenhouse
gases." Raising the concentration of these gases disrupts the equilibrium. These additional gases
trap more heat.
According to some experts, the ecosystem is already changing as a result of global warming.
This century, the Earth's temperature has increased by one degree Fahrenheit. Many scientists
predict that the Earth's temperature will increase by two to eight degrees Fahrenheit in the next
century. In ten thousand years, this would be the quickest ascent.
 There might be an increase in sea levels. The water level might rise as the ice sheets melt.
Numerous locations close to the shore would be vulnerable to floods. Certain plants and animals
may suffer greatly if climate change occurs too quickly and in too large an amount. They could
even go extinct. Extreme and violent weather is possible. There would be greater forest fires in
some areas. However, there would be greater storms, floods, and rain in other places.
Question 29: What is the passage mainly about?
A. Proposed solutions to the issue of global warming.
B. The adverse consequences of global warming..
C. Global warming and forest fires.
D. Global warming and benefits of it.
Question 30: According to the passage, gases control our climate by _______.
A. Increasing its level
B. Changing the environment
C. Heat absorption
D. Unsettling the equilibrium
Question 31: The word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to______.
A. Global warming
B. The potential consequences
C. Data
D. Scientists
Question 32: The word “vulnerable” in paragraph 4 is closet in meaning to______.
1. tender B. ginger C.
adhere D. matter
Question 33: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. According to scientists, the environment cannot be altered by global warming.
B. Global warming has been a topic of consensus among scientists.
C. Forest fires would occur worldwide as a result of climate change.
D. The gasses we emit have the capacity to further enhance the retention of heat.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 34 to 40.
Environmental specialists have proposed various strategies in the past few decades to slow
down the process of deforestation in developing countries. It is true that numerous of these
proposals are valuable ideas, as they are practical endeavors to address some of the causes of
deforestation, including commercial forestry, cattle husbandry, and farming. All of them are
contingent on some degree of government involvement.
We classify solutions into three main categories: internal agreements, state economic
policies, and international programs. Generally, economic policies aim to restrict minor
producers' activities through government intervention. It would be more difficult to squat or
unlawfully establish oneself on land if government actions were to include the plain definition
and enforcement of property rights. Conservation can be promoted through subsidies. In other
words, producers who aim to reduce the typical level of forest damage from their operations
could potentially receive compensation to increase their income. Taxes can also serve as a
deterrent to undesirable land use.
Governments and indigenous or native peoples may reach an internal agreement in the moist
rainforests and open woodlands of the tropics, where the majority of this deforestation is
occurring. Under this type of agreement, individuals could participate in modified conventional
activities that offer some economic rewards.
And finally, international agreements typically involve the exchange of monetary aid in
exchange for government action to safeguard its forests. One such plan, in exchange for
restrictions on specific types of activities in rainforests, aims to assist in the repayment of a
nation's debt. The government receives money for prohibiting or restricting harvesting in its
forests, rather than selling logging concessions to reduce that obligation. Proposals also propose
a global fund to provide financial assistance to countries that choose to protect their
environments.
Clearly, action is required to safeguard the forests around the globe. If the current rate of
deforestation persists, the world's rainforests will evaporate within 100 years, resulting in the
extinction of the majority of plant and animal species on the planet and a multitude of adverse
effects on the global climate.
Question 34: What is the passage mainly about?
A. Suggestions for indigenous peoples and governments to address current environmental
issues.
B. There are numerous strategies for mitigating the detrimental environmental consequences of
deforestation.
C. Environmental experts have expressed apprehension regarding the consequences of
deforestation.
D. Governments should offer economic incentives to encourage responsible land use.
