Sylvia Earle is an underwater explorer and marine biologist who was born in the USA
in 1935. She became interested in the world’s oceans from an early age. As a child, she liked
to stand on the beach for hours and look at the sea, wondering what it must be like under the
surface.
When she was 16, she finally got a chance to make her first dive, which motivated her
to become an underwater explorer. Since then, she has spent more than 6,500 hours under
water, and has led more than seventy expeditions worldwide. She has also made the deepest
dive ever, reaching a record – breaking depth of 381 metres.
In 1970, she became famous around the world when she became the caption of the

“house”. The research they carried out showed the damage that pollution was causing to
marine life, and especially to coral reefs. Her team also studied the problem of over- fishing.
Fishing methods meant that people were catching too many fish, Earle warned, and many
species were in danger of becoming extinct.

The "Three Circles of World Englishes" is a model created by linguist Braj
Kachru to show how English is used around the world. It divides English speakers into
three groups based on how the language is used in different countries.
1. Inner Circle: This group includes countries where English is the native or first
language. Examples of these countries are the United States, the United
Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In these places, English is used
for daily communication, education, business, and government. It is the
language that most people grow up speaking at home and in their communities.
2. Outer Circle: The countries in this circle use English as a second language.
English is not the native language, but it still has an important role, often due to
the historical influence of British colonization. Countries like India, Nigeria,
Singapore, and the Philippines are in this category. In these nations, English may
be used in schools, for government, or in business. It often serves as a bridge
language between different ethnic or linguistic groups.
3. Expanding Circle: This group includes countries where English is used as a
foreign language, like China, Japan, Russia, and Vietnam. People in these
countries usually learn English in school for international communication,
travel, business, or education. English is not used in everyday life, but it is
becoming increasingly important as a global language.

14
 Kachru’s model helps to understand the spread of English worldwide and highlights
how the language has adapted to different cultural and social needs. It shows that
English is not just the property of native speakers, but a global language that has taken
on many forms based on where and how it is used.

Today, in many parts of the world, it is customary for people to shake hands upon
meeting as gesture of good will. Originally, however, the practice of shaking hands had a
more practical purpose.
Shaking hands originated in medieval times. In those days, when a man came on a
stranger, he would often automatically reach for his sword with his right hand, in case he had
to use the weapon to defend himself. Sometimes, both parties found themselves circling
around each other, weapons in hand, until it was mutually agreed that the weapons could be
laid aside. Then, the two parties extended their right hands to show they had no weapons, and
clasped them. This was the beginning of the handshake.
The custom of shaking hands is not a universal one. In the Orient, people have, for
centuries, clasped their own hands in front of them upon meeting to show that they held no
weapons. In France, a custom developed in which people who met would kiss each other on
both cheeks. The natives of some South-sea islands greet by rubbing noses.
36. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. the variation of shaking hands B. the history of the handshake.
C. the native of greet D. a gesture of good will

A. the two parties’ weapons B. the two parties.
C. the two parties’ left hands. D. the two parties’ right hands.

A. waited for B. visited C. attacked D. happened to meet

If you’re an Australian Facebook user who loves to share the news on your timeline,
you may have noticed something different recently: You can’t.
In the next few days, though, things should go back to normal. Less than a week after
suddenly banning news links for Australian users and shutting down Australian news pages to
protest an upcoming law, Facebook says it’s gotten reassurances from the Australian
government that it won’t be forced to pay publishers but will instead be given the chance to
negotiate agreements with them — which it’s already starting to do. According to the Sydney
Morning Herald, Facebook has agreed to pay the major Australian media company Seven
West Media for news content and is in negotiations with another called Nine Entertainment.
Australia has now passed the News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory
Bargaining Code, which could force Facebook and Google to pay publishers if they host their
content. The law is a response to years-long complaints from news outlets around the world
about the role that Google and Facebook — and their mammoth digital ad businesses — have
30
played in the decline of journalism and the decimation of its business model in the internet
age. The two companies responded to the then-potential law in very different ways: Google
made deals with Australian news publishers; Facebook decided to cut them off entirely.
36. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. News Links for Australian Users
B. Australia and The News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code
C. A Sizable Amount of Worldwide Backlash Against A Company
D. Why Facebook Banned and Then Unbanned News in Australia
37. The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. publishers B. reassurances C. Australian media D.
negotiations
38. In paragraph 2, Facebook suddenly banned news links for Australian users to ______.
A. protest an upcoming law
B. get reassurances from the Australian government
C. protect Australian news pages
D. negotiate agreements with publishers
39. The word “content” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. word B. article C. force D. name
40. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Facebook has agreed to pay Seven West Media for news content.
B. Google and Facebook responded to the law differently.
C. The laws issued by Australian government was changed at the last minute.

III. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the best answer A, B,

Grandparents are becoming the forgotten generation, with youngsters now too busy to
listen to their stories from the olden days.
A study of 1,000 five- to 18-year-olds reveals just 21 per cent will visit their older
relatives to hear about how their lives were different in the past; such as where they worked,
how it was living in the war, and how they met the love of their life. More than half of youths
have no idea what job their grandparent did before retirement. Sadly, one in ten admit they
are simply not interested in their grandmother's or grandad's talents and interests, and a
quarter only turn up to see them for pocket money. But 23 percent claim the reason they don't
know anything about their older relatives is that they don't really get the chance to talk
properly.
Researchers found that although 65 per cent of youngsters do see their grandparents
every single week, 37 per cent claim this is only because their parents want them to. And
while 39 per cent talk to their grandparents on the phone, Facebook or Skype at least once a

35
week - 16 per cent once a day - conversation is rarely focused on what they are doing or have
done in the past. Four in 10 kids have no idea what their grandparent's proudest achievements
are, while 30 per cent don't know if they have any special skills or talents. And 42 per cent
don't spend any time talking about their grandparent's history -and are therefore clueless about
what their grandmother or grandad was like when they were younger. Perhaps due to this lack
of communication and respect, just six per cent of children say they look up to their
grandparents as a role model and inspiration.
36. Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. Young people's tendency to neglect their grandparents
B. Grandparents' loneliness in their old age
C. Grandparents' attitudes towards youngsters
D. Young people's disinterest in their grandparents' stories
37. According to the study in paragraph 2, which information is NOT true?
A. Nearby a quarter of young people don't have suitable opportunities to talk to older
relatives.
B. Over 50% of the young don't know about their older relatives' past professions.
C. Most of youths visit their grandparents to ask for pocket money.
D. Merely one fifth of people in the survey keep asking about the bygone time of their
grandparents.
38. According to the last paragraph, the proportion of the young voluntarily visiting their
older family members every week is _______.
A. 39% B. 27% C. 28% D. 65%
39. The word 'admit' in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to ______.
A. dissent B. refuse C. conceal D. confess
40. The word 'them' in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. relatives B. youngsters C. talents D. grandparents

Have you ever felt that there aren't enough hours in the day? These days we have to do
our jobs, look after our homes, save energy to help the environment, and do exercise to stay
healthy! Like many of us, Alex Gadsden never had enough time. He ran a business and a
home and needed to lose weight. So he decided to do something about it. He invented the
cycle washer. The 29-year-old now starts each day with a 45-minute cycle ride. He not only
feels healthier but he saves on his energy bills and does the washing too.
He said, "It gives the user a good workout. I've only used it for two weeks but I've
already noticed a difference." "I tend to get up at around six-thirty now and get straight on the
cycle washer. I keep it in the garden, so it's nice to get out in the fresh air. Afterwards, I feel
full of energy. Then I generally have breakfast and a shower and I really feel ready to start the
day." The green washing machine uses 25 litres of water a wash, and takes enough clothes to
fill a carrier bag. He normally cycles for 25 minutes to wash the clothes, and then for another
20 minutes to dry them. And it doesn't use any electricity, of course.
Mr Gadsden, the boss of a cleaning company, believes his machine could become very
popular. With an invention which cleans your clothes, keeps you fit and reduces your
electricity bill, he may well be right.
36. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Ways to do the washing properly B. Cycling makes you healthier
C. A fascinating invention D. The importance of daily exercise
37. The word ran in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. managed B. moved C. allowed D. changed
38. According to paragraph 1, what does Alex Gadsden achieve with the invention of the
cycle washer?
A. He puts on weight. B. He helps his wife with the washing-up.
C. He becomes more involved in recycling. D. His electricity bills are reduced.
39. The word it in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. the cycle washer B. workout C. difference D. the fresh air
40. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Alex's machine isn't effective in terms of cleaning the clothes.
B. It doesn't require any electricity to run the cycle washer.
C. Alex Gadsden is positive about the success of the cycle washer.
D. The cycle washer can help you to remain strong and healthy.

National parks play a highly valuable role in documenting climate change. Researchers
have utilized the vast tracts of pristine wilderness to collect data on species and habitats. At
first, they collected observational data on foot; now, they use sophisticated methods such as
aerial surveillance with drones like those used in Northrop Grumman's Wildlife Challenge to
collect information on polar bears.
Observational longitudinal data collection shows the effects of climate change that
impact vegetation and animal species. The pika is the perfect example of an animal who may
need to be relocated from the parks due to climate change, as described in Smithsonian
Magazine. The park service is taking this very seriously. "It is openly discussing the
possibility of "assisted migration": manually relocating some animals and plants if it turns out
they can't survive within the park's changing landscapes."
National park research also documents glacier retreat, finding that some ice fields have
lost as much as 85 percent in the last five decades, according to U.S. Geological Survey.
Glacier Park might be recognizable only as a historical name by 2030, it projects. It's not just
glaciers retreating. The Conversation notes that national park data shows that trees are also

44
affected by climate change: "Climate change is killing trees due to increased drought, changes
in wildfire patterns and increased bark beetle infestations. Tracking of trees in … national
parks has contributed to a database that revealed how climate change has doubled tree
mortality since 1955 across the western United States."
We should not forget that at its inception, the National Parks Service's long-term
intention was to protect the parks and "leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future
generations."
36. According to paragraph 1, what do NOT scientists capitalize on when keeping record of
climate change?
A. tracts of pristine wilderness
B. Observation information gathered when walking.
C. aerial surveillance with drones
D. Reports of jungles turning into residential areas.

A. The importance of research and science for the national parks.
B. The importance of national parks is more than for scenery.
C. Consider modernizing and privatizing national parks.
D. The implications of climate change for biodiversity conservation.
38. The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. parks B. species C. migration D. researchers
39. The word "inception" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. genesis B. conclusion C. debut D. establishment
40. According to paragraph 3, in what way does climate change affect trees?

Today we hear more and more about the importance of getting enough sleep. Sleep

48
can give energy to both our bodies and our brains. It can also affect our feelings, behaviour,
and memory.
Studies have shown that people in some countries spend less time sleeping and more
time working. But our bodies cannot work well without enough sleep. Losing just one or two
hours of sleep a night, over a long period of time, can badly affect our health. We cannot work
for many hours; we can get angry easily; and we can even lose our IQ points. That explains
why, without enough sleep, an intelligent person may have difficulty doing daily tasks.
Studies have also shown that the time of year seems to affect how much sleep we
need. People usually sleep longer in the winter, sometimes as much as 14 hours a night.
However, in the summer, they sometimes sleep as little as six hours, without having any
problems.
36. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of sleep B. Causes of losing sleep
C. Ways to sleep better D. Benefits of getting up early

C. Our bodies can work better. D. People have less time to work.
39. The word “intelligent” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. careful B. ugly C. clever D. angry

One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual
vocational training programme. Such programmes offer plenty of opportunities for on-the-job
training and work experience. Programmes usually last between two and three and a half
years and comprise theoretical as well as practical elements. You will spend one or two days a
week, or several weeks at once, at a vocational school where you will acquire the theoretical
knowledge that you will need in your future occupation. The rest of the time will be spent at
a company. There you get to apply your newly acquired knowledge in practice, for example
by learning to operate machinery. You will get to know what your company does, learn how it
operates, and find out if you can see yourself working there after completing your training.
This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job: by
the time you have completed your training, you will not only have the required technical
knowledge, but you will also have hands-on experience in your job. There are around 350
officially recognised training programmes in Germany, so chances are good that one of them
will suit your interests and talents. You can find out which one that might be by visiting one
of the jobs and vocational training fairs which are organised in many German cities at
different times in the year.
Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training
programme are very good. This is one of the reasons why this kind of training is very popular
with young Germans: around two thirds of all students leaving school go on to start a
vocational training programme.
36. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Dual Vocational Training System in Germany
B. Higher Education System in Germany
C. Theory and Practice Combination in Studying in Germany
D. Opportunities and Prospects in Germany
37. The word "occupation” in the first paragraph is CLOSEST in meaning to ______.
A. experience B. chance C. life D. job
38. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as purposes of dual
vocational training programmes ______.

C. practical working experience D. technical skills
39. The word "who" in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. students B. Germans C. reasons D. prospects
40. How many German school leavers choose this vocational training programme?

Have you ever felt that there aren't enough hours in the day? These days we have to do
our jobs, look after our homes, save energy to help the environment, and do exercise to stay
healthy! Like many of us, Alex Gadsden never had enough time. He ran a business and a
home and needed to lose weight. So he decided to do something about it. He invented the
cycle washer. The 29-year-old now starts each day with a 45-minute cycle ride. He not only
feels healthier but he saves on his energy bills and does the washing too.
He said, "It gives the user a good workout. I've only used it for two weeks but I've
already noticed a difference." "I tend to get up at around six-thirty now and get straight on the
cycle washer. I keep it in the garden, so it's nice to get out in the fresh air. Afterwards, I feel
full of energy. Then I generally have breakfast and a shower and I really feel ready to start the
day." The green washing machine uses 25 litres of water a wash, and takes enough clothes to
fill a carrier bag. He normally cycles for 25 minutes to wash the clothes, and then for another
20 minutes to dry them. And it doesn't use any electricity, of course. Mr Gadsden, the boss of
a cleaning company, believes his machine could become very popular. With an invention
which cleans your clothes, keeps you fit and reduces your electricity bill, he may well be
right.
36. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of daily exercise B. Ways to do the washing properly
C. Cycling makes you healthier D. A fascinating invention

57
 37. The word “ran” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to______.

38. According to paragraph 1, what does Alex Gadsden achieve with the invention of the
cycle washer?
A. His electricity bills are reduced. B. He puts on weight.
C. He helps his wife with the washing-up. D. He becomes more involved in recycling.
39. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to_______.
A. difference B. the cycle washer C. the fresh air D. workout
40. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Alex Gadsden is positive about the success of the cycle washer.
B. The cycle washer can help you to remain strong and healthy.
C. It doesn't require any electricity to run the cycle washer.
D. Alex's machine isn't effective in terms of cleaning the clothes.

Many children have music classes when they attend school. And it is thought that
music can help them learn other subjects better. Research has shown that it can improve
children’s performances in certain subjects.
Some studies have shown that music training can help you understand your own
language better. It could also help you with learning a second one. Moreover, young people
who have studied music also seem to get higher scores in other subjects like maths. So it
could be that these school subjects are connected in some way.
Music also helps you think of new ideas, and believe more in yourself. If you are
learning the guitar, for example, it can be really exciting when you are able to start
composing your own pieces of music. One of the biggest benefits, of course, is that listening
to music can reduce your stress. And composing music can make you feel the same way.

III. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the best answer
A survey into the media habits of teenagers in the USA reveals some surprising
statistics. The average teenager spends an incredible eleven hours each day on their mobile
phones, computers, games consoles or TVs. That's more hours than they are awake outside
school time! How are they able to do this? The answer, of course, is multitasking.
The results of the survey came as no surprise to fifteen-year-old participant Jake
Kendall. He told researchers that he multitasked every second that he was online. He said that
he was completing their survey at the same time as watching a TV show, chatting to friends

69
online and reading reviews of the latest film releases. For sixteen-year-old Marisa Sanchez,
the survey simply confirmed the facts. She said that she had watched two hours of TV in the
three hours since the end of school, and also researched her homework about volcanoes,
played an online game for two hours, and arranged her weekend plans by texting friends.
Some experts are worried about the survey results. Sylvia de Lupis of the Family
Action Institute told our reporter that teenagers would have difficulties because of their
multitasking habits. She added that, as adults, they would struggle to focus their attention.
However, Dr. Michael Rich from the Center on Media and Child Health said that worries
about multitasking had become pointless a long time ago, and that high levels of media use
were now a part of young people's environment, 'like the air that they breathe, the water that
they drink and the food that they eat'.
36. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Teens: More Media Use Than Hours in The Day
B. The Art of Multitasking: A to Z for Teens
C. Teens: Learning through Media
D. Multitasking - Part of Teens' Everyday Life
37. According to paragraph 1, which device may not be used daily by teens?
A. game consoles B. televisions C. e-book readers D. phones
38. The word "reviews" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. comments B. plots C. discussions D. complaints
39. The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. habits B. adults C. difficulties D. teenagers
40. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. An average teen in America spends nearly half a day using media.
B. Marisa Sanchez could complete her school assignment and relax at a time.
C. Dr. Michael Rich expected teenagers to get distracted due to multitasking
D. Frequent media use is possibly a matter of course to young people.

than asphalt only.
Plastic can be recycled in other clever ways too. It is used to make rubbish bins, toys,

III. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the best answer A, B,
C or D. Write the answers on your answer sheet.
Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years
ago
from parts of plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal and natural gas. We are using up
these things so fast that the Earth's supplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are
investigating new ideas for making plastics from plants such as sweet potato, bamboo and
flax.
Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the environment. Some
plastics can last for a long time without wearing out, and can be difficult to get rid of when
not needed. They can remain in rubbish dumps called landfill sites for hundreds of years.
Landfills can be smelly, ugly, and harmful to our planet.
Recycling is a good way to get rid of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can
be used again to make new products. This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to

73
be recycled in different ways. Some kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make
new things such as bags and bottles. Others can be made into fibres (strands of material) for
clothing.
Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping rather than
plastic
ones. A lot of plastic objects can also be reused. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times,
rather than throwing them away once they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs
and toys can be sold or given away to charity shops.
36. According to the passage, things made from plastic are bad for our environment because
_____.
A. they are very convenient for people to use in different purposes.
B. people reuse plastic objects before recycling them.
C. they are a danger to marine life such as whales, turtles and so on.
D. plastics can exist for a long time without decomposing.
37. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Plastic: effects and solutions to the problem.
B. Materials that plastic is made of.
C. The ways to reduce the harm of plastics on the environment.
D. The history of plastic and its usefulness.
38. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to protect
the environment?
A. using canvas bags for shopping instead of plastic ones
B. reusing plastic things
C. buying more plastic things
D. recycling plastic things
39. The word "They" in paragraph 2 refers to ______.

but transform as most opportunity
In order to bring up children, many qualities are required. As well as the usual
requirements such as love, patience and understanding, a sense of humour is an important
feature of any parent’s personality. In fact, it’s quite an art to (26) a child’s bad mood
into behaviour everyone in the family can live with. Another aspect of child rearing is
teaching children limits and rules. This means the child needs to be aware of what his or her
rights are and what other people’s are, too. Setting limits on children must occur on a daily

III. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the best answer A, B,
C or D. Write the answers on your answer sheet.
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.

77
A. A global warming surprising fact B. Aggressive modem people
C. The bad effects of global warming D. A study on global warming

C. Natural disasters like wildfires D. Crazy weather patterns to develop
39. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. other consequences B. global warming C. surprising fact D. climate change

A. dropped B. grew C. enlarged D. raised

Many universities around the world are proud to have long histories and strong
traditions. However, very few universities can claim to be among the oldest in the world.
Nalanda University, in Bihar, India, was established around 600 BC. It was most likely
the world's first university. In the past, scholars came from Europe, China, and all over India
to learn about science, medicine, the Buddhist religion, and other subjects. The university is in
ruins now, but at one time it was an impressive school with temples, classrooms, libraries, and
dormitories.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the University of Al-Karaouine in
Fes, Morocco, is the oldest surviving university in the world. It was probably founded in 859
and became a famous place to study natural sciences. The first university in Europe is
definitely the University of Bologna, in Italy. It was one of the few universities in Europe that
were not influenced by religion. Professors were forbidden from teaching outside the
university, and so students came from all over Europe to study with its famous teachers.

III. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the best answer A, B,
C or D. Write the answers on your answer sheet.
Florists, personal trainers, professors, and nutritionists all have healthy jobs
according to research. There are many reasons for this. A florist, for example, sells flowers
and plants to customers. This is very relaxing work. A personal trainer, on the other hand, is
usually very fit. He or she trains other people to lose weight and to keep fit.
However, research also shows that some jobs are 'unhealthy'. They cause a lot of
stress and worry. For example, a taxi driver drives all day. He often faces traffic jams and
difficult passengers too. A firefighter puts out dangerous fires and sometimes saves people
from burning buildings.
Most people are looking for the perfect job. They want a job that is interesting,
with a good salary and not much stress. However, it is difficult to get everything. Healthy,
relaxing jobs are usually not very well paid. On the other hand, people with stressful jobs
often get good salaries. For example, the head of a big company gets a lot of money, but he or
she does not always have good health, or the time to enjoy life.
36. What does the passage mainly about?
A. Ways to find a healthy job B. New evidence about stress
C. Work and stress D. Jobs with good salaries

A. make people stressed B. aren’t very dangerous
C. are quite relaxing D. cause traffic congestion
39. The word ‘They’ in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. Jobs B. Salaries C. People D. Buildings
40. Which of the following is true, according to the passage?
A. A personal trainer always follows a healthy diet.
B. Only difficult passengers travel by taxi.
C. People with relaxing jobs often get high salaries.

When he was nine years old, Felix Finkbeiner gave a class presentation on climate
change. The young German spoke about deforestation and its effect on the planet. At the end
of his talk, he challenged the people of his country to help by planting one million trees.
Nobody thought much would come of a nine-year-old’s school project. Before he was 20,
however, Finkbeiner’s efforts had resulted in the planting of more than 14 billion trees around
the world.
Finkbeiner and his classmates began the project - named “Plant-for-the-Planet” - by
planting the first tree outside their school. Other schools followed the example, and news of
the one-million challenge spread. As a result, Finkbeiner was asked to speak at the European
Parliament. Other invitations soon followed, and when he was just 13, he spoke at a United
Nations conference in New York. “We cannot trust that adults alone will save our future,” he
said in the speech. “We have to take our future in our hands.”
Finkbeiner is now in his twenties, and Plant-for-the-Planet is an organization with
around 70,000 members. It works to teach people about climate change and to encourage the

89
planting of more trees. Germany’s one millionth tree was planted long ago. The goal now is
one trillion - 150 for every person on Earth.
36. What is the reading mainly about?
A. how a young person has made a big difference to the environment
B. the problems deforestation can cause for our planet
C. the reasons of climate change
D. how planting trees can help the environment
37. The word “deforestation” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. defecation B. afforestation C. the cutting down of trees D. devastation
38. According to paragraph 2, what first happened to Finkbeiner after the widespread impact
of the “Plant-for-the -Planet” project?
A. He received an offer to make a speech at the European Parliament.
B. He made a presentation at a United Nations conference in New York.
C. He had to confront many challenges.
D. He discussed the problem of climate change with world leaders.
39. In the third paragraph, what does the word “It” refer to?
A. Climate change B. Plant-for-the-Planet C. Planting trees D. Germany's one
millionth tree
40. What is NOT true about Plant-for-the Planet today?

C. It encourages people to afforest. D. It teaches people about climate change.

People travel for a lot of reasons: some tourists go to see battlefields or religious
shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of
famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on. Northern
Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the
sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and
Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of
the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted
them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and
beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason, sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries.
Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on
French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than
anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourists than it can handle. The
Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism,

97
it's getting worse. The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers
around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution. None of
this, however, is spoiling anyone's fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with
tourists. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams
and seem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty
the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better
than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
36. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. The reasons why people like travelling.
B. The reasons why the Mediterranean attracts tourists.
C. Tourists travel to the Mediterranean in winters.
D. The pollution caused by mass tourism in The Mediterranean
37. The word “they” in paragraph 1 refers to ________.

Europeans

A. manage B. carry C. include D. neglect
39. According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourists' fun at
Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
A. Polluted water B. Traffic jams C. Rainy weather D. Crowded buses
40. According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the
others?
A. Greece B. France C. Spain D. Italy

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
102
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.
36. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The End of Trains? B. Flying by Train
C. Train System in Shanghai D. The Next Generation of Technology
37. The word powerful in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. heavy B. simple C. standard D. strong
38. According to paragraph 2, Maglev trains ________.
A. don’t do much harm to the environment B. require a special type of fuel
C. travel faster than other vehicles D. don’t make any noise
39. The word they in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. wheels B. transport systems C. Maglev trains D.
advantages
40. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. A high-speed Maglev train system was first developed in Shanghai.
B. The cost of building Maglev train tracks can be enormous.
C. Maglev train system in Japan will come into operation in 2045.
D. Maglev trains can travel at an incredibly fast speed.

III. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the best answer A, B,
C or D. Write the answers on your answer sheet.
Because of natural disasters or man-made damages during the war, a great deal of
historical sites and artifacts have been damaged. It is difficult to repair these sites, as it may
take a lot of time, cost, and there is a lack of the information on how the original work
actually looked. Rebuilding cultural heritage sites and artifacts is similar to solving a big
jigsaw puzzle without knowing what it should look like - everything starts from the beginning
and guesses.
One project has been run by a group of scientists to help with the time-consuming
restoration of the heritage sites. The technologies in the project are robotics, 3-D scanning,
modern machines and artificial intelligence.
These artifact pieces are scanned by high-tech computers to predict their original
architecture. Throughout the process, the computer system is guided by humans to ensure that
the pieces are accurately rebuilt. The computer software collects all pieces and connects them
together to draw a picture of what the original heritage site looked like.
The second component brings robots into the workplace. The robot should be able to
scan those pieces of a heritage site on its own, and connects them together as a complete one.
The robot looks like an average person to save a large amount of time and human resources
when gathering the information about the heritage sites.
36. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Why we restore cultural heritage sites
B. How technology helps restore heritage sites

106

C. It can show us how heritage sites looked like.
D. The computer system cannot work properly.
39. The word one can be best replaced by ________.
A. heritage site B. robot C. workplace D. person
40. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the use of robots?
A. Robots do not waste our natural resources.
B. Robots can help us collect the information about heritage sites.
C. If we use robots, the time spent on gathering information about heritage sites can be
reduced.

III. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the best answer A, B,

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 problems 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. Japan is still trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident.
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. There
have been protests against nuclear energy in the United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan,
India, and many other countries.
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.
36. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Different sources of energy: Advantages and Disadvantages.
B. We don't use much of different sources of energy.
C. Different sources of energy are limited.
D. Mining fossil fuel can bring harm to the environment.

A. It can pollute the air. B. We don't use much of it.
C. Its sources are limited. D. Mining fossil fuel can bring harm to the
environment.
38. The phrase "clean up" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. block B. activate C. disappear D. remove
39. What does the word "They" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. countries B. protesters C. officials D. supporters
40. According to the passage, thanks to nuclear power, _____________________
A. Some governments can exploit the natural resources in large quantities.

If you’d like to improve your English, one thing you can do is to build up your
vocabulary. In order to do this, you have to practice a lot. I'm afraid there is not a short cut for
this, but there are many effective ways. First of all, you should read a lot. You can rend short
stories, comics, newspapers, magazines, etc. depending on your English level. As you read,
you can try to guess the meanings of unknown words from the context of the sentence. If you
cannot, then look up the definition in a dictionary. English to English dictionary should be
your first choice and keep the translator as last.
Another way of building vocabulary is Io watch movies in English which will also
help with pronunciation. Try to be involved with the language us much as you can. Keep a
vocabulary notebook and write down a few words each day. Keep in mind that you have to
revise them regularly. In my opinion, to communicate with people all you need is words.
Even if you just say the words one after another, people most likely will understand what you
mean regardless of the order of the words and grammar.
36. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Some effective ways to improve English vocabulary
B. The difficulties in learning English vocabulary
C. Problems of learning a second language
D. The best way of communicating in English
37. According to the writer, English learners should______________.
A. find a short cut to practice English B. use a dictionary for translation
C. avoid using English to English dictionary D. write down some words every day
38. The word involved in the passage is closest in meaning to______________.
A. determined B. excited C. occupied D. relaxed
39. What does the word “them” in reading passage refer to______________.
A. languages B. words C. notebooks D. people
40. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. We should use a translator for all unknown words.
B. We should read a lot and see movies in English.
C. We should take notes when we learn new words.
D. We should practice speaking as much as we can.

III. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the best answer A, B,
C or D. Write the answers on your answer sheet.
You know what they say; find a job you love and you will never work a day in your
life. So, if you are thinking about what to do with your life, this may be something to
consider. Choosing a career can be difficult, especially because there are so many jobs to
choose from and many things to think about, such as qualifications and financial rewards. So
how do you pick a career? The only answer seems to be “choose one that makes you feel that
you are getting paid for doing something you truly love".
Unless you have grown up with a talent or are keen on something that you can make a
career out of, you need to consider certain things about yourself. What suits your personality?
We are all different and just because your best friend wants to be a doctor, this does not mean
that you should follow. You need to make an informed decision. This means thinking
carefully about the path you need to follow to get that job. Are you willing to get the training
or education needed? You must also consider why you really want to do it. If it's just because
it’s well paid, then sometime in the future you are going to feel “empty”, even with a healthy
bank account.
Nowadays, there are plenty of online career sites, but the main part has to come from
you. You need to be honest and measure your skills and talents realistically. Also, you may
need to talk to your parents who have their own ideas, based on their own experiences, about
what you should do. They have your best interests at heart. They don’t want to see you
having financial problems or being unemployed. But at the end of the day, it is your life.
There is no point in being miserable for the next forty years just to please someone else.
36: Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. Tips to have a well-paid job B. Choosing a career
C. Fading a Job Online D. The new era of job finding
37: According to paragraph 1, what is the advice given for choosing a job?
A. It’s recommended that you should avoid a boring job.
B. You should choose a job that can be very demanding.
C. It’s a good idea to find a paid job that you really like.
D. It’s advisable to choose a highly-paid job.
38: The word “informed” in paragraph 2 mostly means __________.
A. wise B. late C. unexpected D. hard
39: The word “They” in paragraph 3 refers to __________.

126
 A. ideas B. experiences C. interests D. parents
40: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. A well-paid job may not satisfy you down the road.
B. You need to find a job that suits your personality.
C. Honesty is an important trait that ensures you a steady job.
D. You have to be responsible for your job choices.

The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many
communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce electricity.
Converting waste products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to dispose of wastes.
Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale, and
coal tars. But to date, that process has proven expensive. Other experiments are underway to
harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from the earth, is also being
tested.
Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived from
streams and rivers. Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power provided one third of the electricity
used in the United States, but today it supplies only four percent. The oceans are another
potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the energy of ocean
currents, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway to make use of
temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.

(28) ........................................ the course we learned lots of vocabulary and studied grammar

II. Read the following passage and choose the best answer A, B, C or D to fill in each gap.
Write the answers on your answer sheet.
The Internet has truly transformed how students do their homework. While homework
today still means spending time in the library, it’s for a different reason. Rather than using
books for research, students today are (31)______to the Internet to download enormous
amounts of data available online. In the past, students were limited to their school’s selection
of books. In (32)______ cases, they got to the school library and found out that someone had
already taken the books they needed. Nowadays, such inconvenience can be avoided since the
Internet never runs out of information. Students, (33)______, do have to make sure that the
information they find online is true.
Teachers have also benefited from the homework (34)______ is done on the Internet. They do
not need to carry students’ papers around with them any more. This is because online

III. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the best answer A, B,
C or D. Write the answers on your answer sheet.
Did you know that some people don't do their reading assignments? It's shocking, but
it's true. Some students don't even read short texts that they are assigned in class. There are
many reasons for this. They may be distracted or bored. They may be unwilling to focus.
They may be unconfident readers. Whatever the reason, it has to stop today. Here's why.
Reading stimulates your mind. It is like a workout for your brain. When people get old,
their muscles begin to deteriorate. They get weaker and their strength leaves them. Exercise
can prevent this loss. The same thing happens to people's brains when they get older. Brain
power and speed decline with age. Reading strengthens your brain and prevents these
declines.
You can benefit from reading in the near-term too. Reading provides knowledge.
Knowledge is power. Therefore, reading can make you a more powerful person. You can
learn to do new things by reading. Do you want to make video games? Do you want to design
clothing? Reading can teach you all this and more, but you have to get good at reading.
Read everything that you can at school, regardless of whether you find it interesting.
Reading expands your vocabulary. Even a "boring" text can teach you new words. Having a

143
larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself. You will be able to speak, write, and
think more intelligently.
So do yourself a favor: the next time you get a reading assignment, take as much as you
can from it. Squeeze it for every drop of knowledge that it contains. Then move on to the next
one.
31. Which best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. Exciting reading B. Advantages of reading
C. Impact of age on the body D. Working out and your body
32. Why does the author think that you should read books that are boring?
A. You will eventually grow to love them if you read them enough.
B. You will get better grades in reading class.
C. You will make your teacher very happy.
D. You will learn new words.
33. The word “their” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. mind B. brain C. people D. exercise
34. The word “expands” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. widens B. includes C. expects D. explains
35. Which is NOT are reason given by author why students fail to complete reading
assignments?
A. Students may be bored B. Students may be distracted
C. Students may be unwilling to focus D. Students may be tired

Scientists know that there were wolves on Earth about one million years ago. Dogs,
on the other hand, have not been on Earth nearly as long. The oldest dog remains, found in
Germany, are about 14,000 years old. Scientists have proven that dogs are descended from
wolves. Though wolves and dogs share some of the same genes, they are not exactly alike. In
fact, there are as many differences as there are similarities between the two.
First, there are physical differences between the two. Wolves have longer legs, larger
feet, and a broader skull than dogs. They also walk differently from dogs. A wolf runs on its
toes with its heels raised up from the ground. This is more similar to a cat's walk than a dogs.
Second, there are mental differences between the two. Dogs have been domesticated.
This means that dogs have been brought under the control of humans in order to provide
companionship. Wolves have not been domesticated. They are wild animals. Having a dog as
a pet is like having a juvenile wolf. A young wolf will turn into a mature adult, while a
young dog does not mature. A dog might seem smart by performing tricks for people. Wolves
need to be smart to survive in the wild. While it may not be impossible to have a wolf as a pet,
scientists are of the opinion that a wolf could never be domesticated in the same way as a

148
dog.
It's important to keep in mind that the differences between the two are great, and each
should be appreciated in its own habitat or home.
36. The passage mainly discusses ___________
A. the differences and similarities between wolves and dogs
B. the great differences between the wolf and the dog
C. the similarities between the wolf and the dog
D. the way to distinguish between a wolf and a dog

dogs

A. smaller B. broader C. smarter D. rounder
39. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned about the wolf?
A. Wolves have been living on Earth for about a million years.
B. Wolves have better genes than dogs, so they are stronger.
C. Wolves could not be domesticated the way dogs have been.
D. Wolves may not be kept as pets the way dogs have been.

A. fully grown B. early rise C. full blossom D. completely
evolve

III. Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the best answer A, B,
C or D. Write the answers on your answer sheet.
One of the greatest advantages of robots is that they can work in situations that are
dangerous or harmful for human workers. For example, the continuous smell of paint has a
harmful effect on painters, but it doesn't bother a robot. Robots can work in nuclear power
plants and in undersea research stations that might be dangerous for humans. Already, robots
are working in the plastic
industry and in chemical and industrial equipment industries. One of the most common uses
of robots is still in automobile factories. They can do the heavy, unpleasant, or dangerous
work. These kinds of industrial robots are not usually mobile. The work they need to do is
brought to them, like cars on an assembly line, for example.
The robot industry is a big business. By the middle of the 1990s, Japan led the world
in robot production with more than 71,000 industrial robots at work. Both the United States
and Japan, as well as other countries, continue to develop more advanced robots. Robots can
now be made to perform more complex jobs. Robots can make decisions while they are
working and learn from their mistakes. Robots can now see with the TV camera 'eyes'. They
can easily hear and can even speak using a voice made by a computer. But it is difficult to
make a robot 'understand'. Thinking and understanding are very human qualities. The robots
of the future will probably be very complex. They will be able to perform many humanlike
tasks: Robots and other technologies will make the future a very interesting place.
