1.Read the following passage and circle A. B. C. or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
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.
1. Which of the following is NOT true about fossil fuel?
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.
2. All of the following are true about nuclear accidents EXCEPT that ______.
A. they have been very serious
B. their effects can last many years
C. it doesn't take us much time to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident
D. there were serious nuclear accidents in Ukraine in 1986 and in Japan in 2011
3. The phrase "clean up" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______. A. block B. evacuate C. disappear D. remove
4. What does the word "They" in paragraph 4 refer to? A. countries B. protesters C. officials D. supporters
5. Which of the following statements would the author of the passage support most?
A. Some governments are wrong when they are using nuclear energy.
B. We should consider seriously nuclear power because it has both advantages and disadvantages.
C. We can continue using nuclear energy until there is an accident.
D. Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries and governments should follow their people.

The 22nd Southeast Asian Games were held in Vietnam from the 5th to 13th December, 2003. Although it
was the first time Vietnam hosted such a big sports event, the Games were a great success. The Games really
became a festival that impressed sports enthusiasts with its spirit: solidarity, co-operation for peace and development.
Athletes from 11 participating countries competed in 32 sports, and 444 gold medals were won. Some

events. The Vietnamese Women's Football team successfully defended the SEA Games title. Vietnam and

Where smart cities were once regarded purely as a vision of the future, they are now becoming a
reality in numerous urban centres across the globe. From Dubai, Singapore, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and
Madrid to Southampton in the UK, we’re already beginning to see smart cities provide inhabitants with
improved living conditions, easier mobility and cleaner, safer environments, by using cloud computing to
power services. But as with all public sector initiatives, smart city services need to be delivered as cost
effectively as possible to minimise the taxpayer burden. Often, key decision makers are met with obstacles
when it comes to deploying smart services, preventing smart cities initiatives from reaching their full
potential – or worse, blocking them altogether.
Central to the functioning of most ‘normal’ city ecosystems is the underlying data they run on.
Regardless as to whether that data is stored on local servers or using cloud storage, when that data is
fragmented or incomplete, identifying emerging trends for strategic planning and cost reduction becomes
extremely difficult – and because of this, authorities have to adopt an entirely reactive approach.
Conversely, in a smart city environment, connected sensors forming an Internet of Things (IoT) provide
valuable data for analysis and, in turn, insight into the specific city’s behavioural trends. With this level of
information, services can be optimised to reduce costs and risk, increase urban flows and manage assets.
Importantly, they can also provide real-time connections and interactions between the city’s businesses,
local governments, service providers and citizens.
In this way, operations and services are elevated through the integration and connection of physical
devices via IoT networks, ultimately transforming how a city runs.

4. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The costs and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate climate
change, the balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the
consequences will become. Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people This
is mainly because we have already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now have.
People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and expanding
crop production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, coastal erosion,
rising sea level more erratic rainfall, and droughts.
The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood) that sustain people
in a given area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases and
insect pests that are limited by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also favourable.
In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
stated, "Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate
change are likely to be significant and to increase over time.”

Global warming refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth. An overwhelming
scientific consensus maintains that climate change is due primarily to the human use of fossil fuels, which
(1) __________ carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air. The gases trap heat within the
atmosphere, which can have a range of effects on ecosystems, (2) __________ rising sea levels, severe
weather events, and droughts that render landscapes more susceptible to wildfires.
While consensus among nearly all scientists, scientific organizations, and governments is (3)__________
climate change is happening and is caused by human activity, a small minority of voices questions the
validity of such assertions and prefers to cast doubt on the preponderance of evidence. Climate change
deniers often claim that recent changes (4) __________ to human activity can be seen as part of the natural
variations in Earth’s climate and temperature, and that it is difficult or impossible to establish a direct
connection between climate change and any single weather event, such as a hurricane. While the latter is
generally true, decades of data and analysis support the reality of climate change and the human factor in this
process. In any case, economists agree that acting to reduce fossil fuel emissions would be far less expensive
