Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Global warming is a phenomenon that refers to the long-term increase in Earth’s average temperature.
It is primarily caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide
and methane. These gases act like a blanket, trapping heat from the sun and preventing it from escaping back
into space. As a result, the Earth's temperature gradually rises, leading to a range of environmental and
climatic changes.
The main contributors to global warming are human activities. The burning of fossil fuels, such as
coal, oil, and gas, for energy production and transportation, releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into
the atmosphere. Deforestation, which involves the clearing of forests for various purposes, also adds to the
problem. Trees play a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, so when forests are
destroyed, there are fewer natural mechanisms to remove these greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
The consequences of global warming are wide-ranging and can be seen around the world. Rising
temperatures lead to the melting of ice caps and glaciers, resulting in a rise in sea levels. This poses a
notable threat to coastal areas and low-lying regions, increasing the risk of flooding and the loss of land.
Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves, are becoming more frequent and
severe, causing damage to infrastructure, agriculture, and human lives. Furthermore, global warming
disrupts ecosystems and biodiversity, endangering many plant and animal species.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
ASEAN countries are known for their rich cultural traditions and celebrations. These celebrations, often
marked by colourful parades and performances, are an important way to honour ancestors, strengthen
community bonds, and promote regional cooperation and understanding.
One of the most popular cultural celebrations in many ASEAN countries is the Lunar New Year, which
takes place in late January or early February. Based on the lunar calendar, this holiday is a time to honour
ancestors, make offerings of food and gifts, and wish for prosperity and good fortune in the coming year.
During the Lunar New Year, people often take part in traditional activities such as tug of war, bamboo
dancing, stilt walking, dragon and lion dances, and the lighting of firecrackers to scare away bad luck.
Another popular cultural celebration in many ASEAN countries is the Water Festival, which takes place in
April or May. This festival, also known as Songkran in Thailand, celebrates the start of the rainy season and
the power of water to wash away bad luck and start fresh. During the festival, people splash water on each
other in the streets and participate in other fun activities.
In addition to these celebrations, many ASEAN countries also have unique cultural traditions and practices
that are specific to their region or community. For example, in Viet Nam, people often release lanterns into
the sky during the Mid-Autumn Festival to symbolise the desire for a bright future. In Indonesia, people
celebrate the end of Ramadan with a feast known as Idul Fitri, which is a time to strengthen community
bonds and forgive past grievances.

cultural exchange, and mutual support among communities.
