correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
More and more, technology is moving to the cloud. It’s not just a fad — the shift away from
traditional software models to software as a service, or SaaS, has steadily gained momentum over
the last 10 years. Looking ahead, the next decade of cloud computing promises even more ways to
collaborate from anywhere, using mobile devices.
So what is cloud computing? Essentially, cloud computing is a kind of outsourcing of
software, data storage, and processing. Users access applications and files by logging in from any
device that has an internet connection. Information and programs are hosted by outside parties and
reside on a global network of secure data centres instead of on the user’s hard drive. This frees up
processing power, facilitates sharing and collaboration, and allows secure mobile access regardless
of where the user is or what device is being used.
Cloud computing is a more efficient way of delivering computing resources. With cloud
computing, software and service environments are subscription-based — users pay a monthly fee
instead of buying licenses. Software and platforms are managed by the providers and are updated
continuously for maximum performance and security. Computing power is remote instead of
centralized, so users can tap into extra capacity if business spikes. Multiple people can access a
shared program or file and collaborate in real time from different locations.
Question 39: What could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Shift Away from Traditional Software
B. What is Cloud Computing?
C. The Kind of Outsourcing of Software
D. How are Software and Platforms Managed
Question 40: The word “that” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. device B. internet connection
C. information and programs D. outside parties
Question 41: The word “efficient” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. sensitive B. competitive C. alternative D. productive
Question 42: According to paragraph 3, software and platforms have the maximum performance
and security because ______.
A. They don’t work as computing resources B. They require no subscription
C. They are updated continuously D. They are centralized
Question 43: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a good thing
cloud computing can do?
A. Information and programs are on the user’s hard drive.
B. Freeing up processing power
C. Facilitating sharing and collaboration
D. Allowing secure mobile access
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 44 to 50.
The economic benefits from the expansion of Poland’s network of highways would have been
much greater, had it not been for the excessive length of the investment process and the remarkably
high construction costs. Protracted construction works mean longer traffic jams, and therefore
longer delivery or commute times, higher fuel consumption, and higher financial costs. The costs of
motorway investments are much higher in Poland than that in the US. In the summer of 2018,
Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Construction Marek Chodkiewicz said that in the years 2013-
2016 the construction of motorways cost an average of PLN53.1m (USD17.7m) per one kilometre
(0.62 miles), while the construction of expressways cost PLN38.7m (USD13m) per one kilometre
in the years 2017-2018.
A comparison with the figures provided in the study by Allen and Arkolakis is not
sufficiently reliable, because the Americans probably did not take into account the costs of road
junctions, animal crossings, parallel roads for local traffic, etc. However, more reliable data are also
available. The American Road and Transportation Builders Association reported that the average
cost of a four-lane highway is USD4-6m per one mile in rural and suburban areas or USD8-10m in
cities.
 Most of this enormous difference in costs could probably be explained by the much smaller
scope of works included in the American estimates, e.g. due to the fact that environmental
requirements in the United States are much less stringent than in Europe. The fact that the average
density of population and physical structures in the Unites States is much lower than in Poland
could also have an impact on the costs. Another important factor reducing costs in the Unites States
is probably the extensive experience and efficiency of local road construction giants, as well as
greater market competition. However, a large part of the unfavourable difference in prices can still
be blamed on the low efficiency of the investment process in Poland.
Question 44: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Protracted Construction Works
B. Average Cost of A Four-lane Highway
C. Density of Population in The Unites States
D. Road Investments in Poland Are Slow and Expensive
Question 45: The word “that” in paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. consumption B. costs C. investments D. Poland
Question 46: In paragraph 1, protracted construction works cause all of the following except
______.
A. longer traffic jams B. longer commute times
C. higher fuel consumption D. lower investments in summer
Question 47: The word “figures” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. agencies B. categories C. statistics D. powers
Question 48: The word “enormous” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. huge B. mild C. magic D. fierce
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Poland had to pay USD13m for one kilometre of expressway in the years 2017-2018.
B. The average cost of a four-lane highway in the US is USD8-10m per one mile in cities.
C. The physical structures in the Unites States and Poland are similar.
D. The low efficiency of the investment process in Poland is the main cause.
Question 50: Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A. The difference in costs of highway construction is due to many reasons.
B. America can do better, so has cheaper highway than Poland.
C. Poland must change its environmental requirements to have cheaper expressways.
D. Poland should hire American road construction giants with extensive experience and
efficiency.
