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 questions from 14 to 20.
It is estimated that by 2050 more than two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities,
up from about 54 percent today. While the many benefits of organized and efficient cities are well
understood, we need to recognize that this rapid, often unplanned urbanization brings risks of profound
social instability, risks to critical infrastructure, potential water crises, and the potential for devastating
spread of disease. These risks can only be further exacerbated as this unprecedented transition from
rural to urban areas continues.
How effectively these risks can be addressed will increasingly be determined by how well cities
are governed. The increased concentration of people, physical assets, infrastructure, and economic
activities mean that the risks materializing at the city level will have far greater potential to disrupt
society than ever before.
Urbanization is by no means bad by itself. It brings important benefits for economic, cultural and
societal development. Well managed cities are both efficient and effective, enabling economies of scale
and network effects while reducing the impact on the climate of transportation. As such, an urban
model can make economic activity more environmentally-friendly. Further, the proximity and diversity
of people can spark innovation and create employment as exchanging ideas breeds new ideas.
But these utopian concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization. For
example, one of the main factors is rural-urban migration, driven by the prospect of greater
employment opportunities and the hope of a better life in cities. But rapidly increasing population
density can create severe problems, especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to cope with the
influx of new inhabitants. The result may, in extreme cases, be widespread poverty. Estimates suggest
that 40% of the world's urban expansion is taking place in slums, exacerbating socio-economic
disparities and creating unsanitary conditions that facilitate the spread of disease.
The Global Risks 2015 Report looks at four areas that face particularly daunting challenges in
the face of rapid and unplanned urbanization: infrastructure, health, climate change, and social

18
instability. In each of these areas we find new risks that can best be managed or, in some cases,
transferred through the mechanism of insurance.
Question 14. The word “that" in paragraph 4 refers to __________.
A. urban expansion B. socio-economic disparities
C. disease D. unsanitary conditions
Question 15. According to paragraph 3, what is one of the advantages of urbanization?
A. It minimizes risks for economic, cultural and societal development.
B. It makes water supply system both efficient and effective.
C. Weather and climate in the city will be much improved.
D. People may come up with new ideas for innovation.
Question 16. Which statement is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. Urbanization brings important benefits for development as well.
B. 54% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050.
C. Risks cannot be addressed effectively no matter how well cities are governed.
D. Rapidly increasing population density can help solve poverty.
Question 17. The word "addressed" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. aimed at B. dealt with C. added to D. agreed on
Question 18. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Poverty may be a foregone conclusion of unplanned urbanization.
B. Diseases are caused by people migrating to cities.
C. Urbanization can solve the problem of environmental pollution in cities.
D. The increasing number of people in cities can create more employment.
Question 19. Which is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. The Risks of Rapid Urbanization in Developing Countries
B. Infrastructure and Economic Activities in Cities
C. The Global Risks 2015 Report on Developing Urban Areas
D. Rapid Urbanization Put Cities in Jeopardy

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 questions.
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
34
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 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.
Question 12. 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
Question 13. 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.
Question 14. 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%
Question 15. The word 'admit' in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to ______.
A. dissent B. refuse C. conceal D. confess
Question 16. The word 'them' in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. relatives B. youngsters C. talents D. grandparents
Question 17. The phrase 'look up to' in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to?
A. dread B. disrespect C. imagine D. admire
Question 18. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Youngsters nowadays are too indifferent to their grandparents' lives in the past.
B. Most young people use modern technology to keep in touch with their older generation.
C. Children's lack of communication with grandparents leads to mutual misunderstanding.
35
 D. Grandchildren never care for their elderly relatives' special skills and talents.

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 questions from 9 to 15.
The Great Wall of China is one of the most famous landmarks in the world. It was built over
2,000 years ago and stretches for about 13,000 miles across northern China. The wall was constructed
to protect the Chinese Empire from invasions by enemy forces, and it has great historical and cultural
significance.
However, the Great Wall is now facing various threats that could damage or destroy this important
heritage site. One major problem is erosion. Over the centuries, wind, rain, and snow have caused
significant damage to the wall, especially in certain sections. In addition, human activities such as
tourism and construction projects have also contributed to the deterioration of the wall. To address
these issues, several preservation efforts are being undertaken. First, experts are working on
developing new techniques to prevent further erosion of the wall. For example, they are experimenting
with different types of coatings and materials to protect the wall's surface from weathering.
Additionally, there are ongoing efforts to restore damaged sections of the wall using traditional
methods and materials.
Another challenge is managing the increasing number of visitors to the Great Wall. Tourism is
an important source of revenue for the local communities, but it can also cause damage to the fragile
structure of the wall. To mitigate these effects, authorities have implemented measures such as limiting
the number of visitors allowed in certain areas and building elevated walkways to reduce foot traffic
on the wall itself. They are also promoting sustainable tourism practices and raising awareness about
the importance of preserving the wall among tourists.
Lastly, education plays a crucial role in preserving the Great Wall. Local communities, schools,
and organizations are working together to educate people about the history and significance of the
wall. By fostering a sense of pride and ownership among the public, it is hoped that more people will
be motivated to protect this iconic symbol of Chinese culture and history.
Preserving the Great Wall of China is a challenging task that requires the cooperation and support of
various stakeholders. With continued efforts, it is possible to safeguard this important heritage site for
future generations to appreciate and admire.

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 questions.
Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for reducing the effects
of extreme heat. One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb the Sun's rays.
Desert mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of maintaining a constant body
temperature. Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature deep inside the body, which would
involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what
would normally be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured
in Grant's gazelles. The overheated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the
temperature may fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel. This is an
advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight is absorbed in warming up the body, and an
excessive buildup of heat does not begin until well into the day.
Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a point that would be
fatal for non-adapted animals. The camel can lose up to 30 percent of its body weight as water without
harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight. An
equally important adaptation is the ability to replenish this water loss at one drink. Desert animals can
drink prodigious volumes in a short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 100 liters in a
few minutes. A very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to dehydrate at
one session, because the human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution of the
body fluids causes death from water intoxication.
The tolerance of water loss is of obvious advantage in the desert, as animals do not have to remain
near a water hole but can obtain food from grazing sparse and far-flung pastures. Desert-adapted
mammals have the further ability to feed normally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common
experience in people that appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst.
Question 14: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Weather variations in the desert B. Adaptations of desert animals
52
 C. Diseased of desert animals D. Human use of desert animals.
Question 15: According to the passage, why is light coloring an advantage to large desert animals?

Question 17: The author uses of Grant's gazelle as an example of _______.
A. an animal with a low average temperature
B. an animal that is not as well adapted as the camel
C. a desert animal that can withstand high body temperatures

Question 18: When is the internal temperature of a large desert mammal lower?

C. Just after sunset D. Just after drinking

homes. Under new plans you won’t be able to smoke where there are more than ten visitors in a week,

The documentary Home (2009) is a masterpiece by the brilliant and ecology-minded French director
Luc Besson and the accomplished aerial photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The film brings its
audience exquisite views of the Earth from above. Together with enthralling images, the film shows
alarming statistics about climate change. These images and figures do a good job in describing how
our beautiful planet has been changed and is being destroyed into an uninhabitable one. The English
narration of the movie was done by Glenn Close, the Spanish narration by Salma Hayek. The
documentary aims to encourage sustainable behaviour among humans and provide basic instructions
on the conservation of the Earth. The film producer explains that, despite its extra-terrestrial viewpoint,
the film is named “Home” since the word “home” has the same meaning in all languages. The ultimate
message of the film is that each of us should save this only ‘home’ mankind has.

VII. 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 questions.
Climate changes are one of the most intuitive changes in global warming. As a result of a large
amount of carbon dioxide emissions, there is a sharp rise in high-temperature weather, which has an
irreversible impact on our environment and ecology. Scientists say, “Changing weather patterns linked
to rising global temperatures have resulted in a dearth of wind across northern China, according to
several recent studies, exacerbating a wave of severe pollution that has been blamed for millions of
premature deaths”. However, when I returned home last Christmas, there was no snow on the street,
instead, it was a warm winter with sunshine. The continued of global warming may not only bring
about changes in climate. The world may undergo more unpredictable changes due to global warming
in the future.
Global climate change has seriously affected the living environment of animals, the change of
climate, the quality of human life, and the threat to human security. Global warming has become a
very difficult trend to reverse. It and rising temperatures have caused very serious consequences for
human beings, brought great impact on the Earth’s organisms and seriously affected people’s lives,
but people didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem. It is urgent to protect the environment and
people should take active measures to deal with it.

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 questions.
Traditional media such as printed newspapers and magazines has gradually declined in popularity, and
digital media is attracting more and more users, and taking on a dominant role. Today, most people
continue reading on a regular basis; however, their reading habits have changed. Many people are
reading their favourite newspapers and magazines on their electronic devices such as computers,
laptops, and smartphones. This has both benefits and drawbacks.
Printed and digital media can both have the same content, but digital media is usually faster and easier
to access. In fact, the number of people buying a daily newspaper or magazine at stores has decreased
dramatically. With the help of the internet, readers can now access information that is updated instantly
and receive the latest news from every corner of the world. In addition, electronic media doesn’t use
paper and is considered more environmentally friendly. Reading news online is generally free of
charge, and can be done anytime and anywhere. Many news websites provide video reports or
multimedia stories, so people can choose to hear, watch, or read news according to their preferences.
However, readers may face some problems as they read newspapers online. For example, an internet
user may be forced to watch or read all kinds of advertisements before getting to the piece of news he
or she is interested in. Online adverts can be very distracting and annoying, and can make readers lose
interest in what they are reading. In addition, many online publications focus much more on attracting
viewers and followers rather than providing detailed or accurate information. Nevertheless, digital

89
media is an incredible source of news, information and knowledge, and its benefits outweigh the
disadvantages.
Question 15: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The preservation of traditional media
B. Advantages and disadvantages of electronic media
C. The success of the new media
D. The future of traditional and digital media
Question 16: According to paragraph 2, one of the benefits of using digital media is __________.
A. reducing the cost of printing daily newspapers
B. having the same content as printed newspapers
C. not buying daily newspapers or magazines
D. reducing paper usage
Question 17: The word ‘multimedia’ in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. advanced B. audiovisual C. immediate D. active
Question 18: The word ‘they’ in paragraph 3 refers to __________.
A. readers B. electronic devices C. advertisements D. problems
Question 19: Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. There are too many online advertisements.
B. Electronic media has affected the way we read.
C. Online news stories may not be detailed or true.
