II. Read the passage and answer the question below. (1m)
Natural disasters like earthquakes are forces of nature. Human beings cannot stop them.
Earthquakes are sometimes difficult to be predicted so it requires proper preparation to minimize the
disaster's impacts. While volcanic activities may cause earthquakes, many others happen without
warning. Fortunately, we know the places where earth quakes are most likely to happen.
The people living in these areas, such as California, Japan, or Italy, know what to do when an
earthquake begins. If they are inside the building, they will get away from windows and exterior walls
and take cover under a desk or table. It is necessary to take cover in a safe area that is away from
potential falling objects like wall décor or ceiling fan. In case there is no table around, people can stand
against the wall whose other side is not the outside of the building. If people are outside when an
earthquake occurs, it is important to get into an open spot far away from buildings, trees, or power lines.
Even though some earthquakes do not last very long, they can be incredibly destructive.
Understanding what to do when earthquakes occur usually saves lives.
1. What may cause earthquakes?
Volcanic activities
2. How can we minimize the earthquake's impacts?
Earthquakes are sometimes difficult to be predicted so it requires proper preparation to minimize the
disaster's impacts

IV. Read the following passage, and answer the questions that follow
On April 30, 2018 the Pu’u ‘O’o crater on Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano, suddenly collapsed. It was the
starting point for the volcano’s months long eruption, which went on to produce 320,000 Olympic-sized
swimming pools’ worth of lava that transformed the landscape and ultimately destroyed 700 homes.
A volcanic eruption occurs when hot materials from the Earth's interior are thrown out of a volcano.
Some eruptions are terrible explosions that throw out huge amounts of rock and volcanic ash and can kill
many people. Some are quiet outflows of hot lava. Several more complex types of volcanic eruptions
have been described by volcanologists. These are often named after famous volcanoes where that type of

Saving the Environment: One Home at a Time
Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes. It comes from
household chemicals, the amount of water people use and the waste people produce and throw away.
What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person can help save the environment by doing
simple things.
First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again. Recycling can also
reduce the number of trees cut down to produce paper products. It takes very little effort. It is not hard to
place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and paper in a bin. Anyone can do it.
Second, we need to watch the amount of water used in the home. It can be conserved by taking short
shower instead of baths, repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or washing machine only when
fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while brushing your teeth.
Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but should also try to use this
waste effectively. For example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made into compost for plants. The
average person produces 4.3 pounds of waste every day, but we can reduce that amount by recycling and
reusing.
If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the planet from becoming more polluted.
26. Pollution can be caused from the following sources except_____________.
A. house chemicals B. water from household
C. wastes D. water in rivers

A. never cut down trees B. use products again and again
