A B C
half in Canada.
D
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The relationship between Britain and the US has always been a close one. Like all
close relationships it has had difficult times. The US was first a British colony, but between
1775 and 1783 the US fought a war to become independent. The US fought the British
again in the War of 1812.
In general, however, the two countries have felt closer to each other than to any
other country, and their foreign policies have shown this. During World War I and World
War II, Britain and the US supported each other. When the US looks for foreign support,
Britain is usually the first country to come forward and it is sometimes called “the 51st
state of the union”.
But the special relationship that developed after 1945 is not explained only by shared
political interests. An important reason for the friendship is that the people of the two
countries are very similar. They share the same language and enjoy each other’s literature,
films and television. Many Americans have British ancestors, or relatives still living in
Britain. The US government and political system are based on Britain’s, and there are many
Anglo-American businesses operating on both sides of the Atlantic. In Britain, some people
are worried about the extent of US influence, and there is some jealousy of its current power.
The special relationship was strong in the early 1980s when Margaret Thatcher was Prime
Minister in Britain and Ronald Reagan was President of the US.
Question 32: What is the passage mainly about?
A. The strong friendship between the UK and the US.
B. The close relationship between Britain and the US
C. A special relationship the UK developed during the World Wars
D. A special influence the US had on the UK during the World Wars
Question 33: The phrase “come forward” in paragraph 2 mostly means _______ .
A. be willing to help B. be able to help
C. be reluctant to help D. be eager to help
Question 34: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. countries B. people C. political interests D. British ancestors Question
35: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for the special relationship
between Britain and the US?
A. The people of the two countries are similar.
B. Many Americans have British ancestors.
C. British Prime Minister and the US President are close friends.
D. Many Anglo-American businesses are operating in the two countries
Question 36: Britain and the US are close to each other NOT because of their ______.
A. foreign policies B. power C. political interest D. language
Saving the planet is very much in vogue. It's also in Harper's Bazaar, Elle and
Mademoiselle. It's the message on fashion runways, in marketing strategies, in jewelry and
accessory designs, on shopping bags and totes, in advertisements and on price tags.
A naked fashion model wearing a hat of birch branches and lichen, as shown in Vogue
this month, may not be everyone's idea of environmental awareness. But the pervasiveness of
ecological themes in the images and marketing of fashion is undeniable. It is also somewhat
paradoxical. The fashion industry, whose driving philosophy involves encouraging
consumers to discard the old and embrace the new, is now trying to push itself to the forefront
of efforts to conserve and preserve.
The environmental theme in fashion began as wispy touches and graphic exhortations
in designer collections, not as some well-thought-out strategy of ''green'' marketing in which
the environmental advantages of a product become part of the sales approach. Tendrils of ivy
dangled from the ceiling at a Paris fashion show; a carpet of grass covered a runway in New
York; models marched along in T-shirts or carrying signs all bearing slogans like ''Clean Up or
Die,'' ''Save the Sphere,'' and ''Environmental Protection Agents.
The environmental spin on fashion has now moved into the mass market, where
''clothes with conscience'' make an extra tug at the buyer's self-image. Bonjour, a jeans and
sportswear company based in New York, has embarked on a program to ''change the
individual's outlook toward saving the environment'' through educational tags. This summer,
the first wave of what Bonjour executives said would be 50 million fashion items a year are
to arrive in stores carrying tags with environmental tips from how to save water to how to
reduce pollutants.
Whether these tributes to nature will benefit the environment or even raise
environmental awareness, with concomitant changes in individual behavior, is not clear.
There is some skepticism. Professor Ewen says the new environmental symbolism should
be viewed as part of an overall change in America's economy, from one built on industrial
production of hard goods to one based on ''pure representation”. “Going back to fashion, the
environment has become a commercial cliche separated from real concerns. What can be
attached to this year's fashion is merely the symbolism of environmental sanity.'' Question

B. Fast fashion’s main features are premeditated waste and disposability.
C. It is predicted that the green trend can only remain as a niche market.
D. The concept of ethical fashion was once rejected by the industry. Question 40: The word
“wispy” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. fine B. small C. silvery D. flamboyant

Myriad occupational schools in the central coastal city of Da Nang have received just a
small number of applications over the past few years. “Last year we only had 142 new
students, but the number of new enrollees is 50 this school year,” Truong Van Hung, rector of
the Duc Tri Da Nang Vocational College, said, adding the school has set a target of recruiting
1,200 students for the 2014-2015 academic year. “Closing the school is just a matter of time,”
he said.
Similarly, the Viet A Vocational School in Hai Chau District in Da Nang has not
recruited any new enrollee for over one year given the absence of job opportunities for its
graduates. “We do not want to enroll because we cannot help students land jobs after they
graduate,” a leader of Viet A said. “We will only admit new students when we can have a
partnership with companies who can employ our students after they finish their studies.”
Elsewhere, vocational schools in the southern province of Dong Nai are ‘frozen’.
The Dong Nai Information Technology-Telecommunications Vocational School in the
academic year of 2013-2014 enrolled only 82 students compared with a target of 1,000; the
Nhon Trach Industrial Engineering Vocational School only had 200 out of its goal of 600
students for the school year; the 26-3 Vocational School received 150 students while they set a
target of 250; and the South-Eastern Electromechanical Vocational School only recruited 300
out of the 500 students they planned to admit.
The situation means that equipment for training programs at those schools has been
left unused and covered with rust. Local experts have commented that if the lack of students
persists, vocational schools are at high risk of being closed, sooner or later.

The number of people accessing the State’s and community’s priority policies and
programmes is increasing, said Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Dao Ngoc
Dung. Vietnam has around 6.2 million people over the age of two with disabilities, making
up 7.06 per cent of the country’s population. Of those, 28 per cent are severely disabled, 58
per cent female, 28 per cent children and 10 per cent living in poverty. Most live in rural
areas and many are victims of Agent Orange.
Minister Dung said in the past, the State, the Party and Vietnamese people had paid
much care to people with disabilities. Vietnam ratified the United Nations Convention on the
Rights of People with Disabilities in 2014. In March this year, the country ratified the
International Labour Organisation’s Convention 159 about jobs for people with disabilities.
It strongly confirmed Vietnam’s commitment to ensuring the disabled would not be
discriminated against at work.
Last month, the Secretariat Committee issued Instruction 39 about the Party’s leading
work on affairs related to people with disabilities . The National Assembly later ratified the
amended Law on Labour with many adjustments relating to disabled people. Dung said that
every year, millions of disabled people receive an allowance from the State and all provinces
and cities had rehabilitation centres. Attending the event, Truong Thi Mai, head of the Party
Central Committee’s Commission for Mass Mobilisation, said besides the achievements,
Vietnam still sees many obstacles. Infrastructure is still limited in demand for people with
disabilities and many life below the poverty line depending heavily on their families.
Mai asked organisations to improve education to raise people’s awareness of the
meaning of supportive work to people with disabilities. This year, more than VNĐ17 trillion
(US$735.4 million) from the State budget was allocated to provinces and cities to
implement policies for people with disabilities, according to the Ministry of Labour,
Invalids and Social Affairs.
The Ministry of Planning and Investment on Thursday launched the programme
“White stick for Vietnamese visual impaired people”. Its aim is to present one million white
sticks to visually impaired people across the country. Training to use the device will also be
provided. Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung said the ministry will listen
to disabled people’s demands and wishes and put them into its policies. Deputy chairwoman
of the National Assembly Tong Thi Phong said Vietnam has committed to developing
socioeconomy, taking care of social equality and improving social management ability.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 34 to 38.
Earthquakes are destructive events in nature. The damage depends on the size or
magnitude of the quake. There have never been so many people living in cities in quake
zones, and so the worse the damage can be from a big quake, bringing fires, tsunamis, and
the loss of life, property, and maybe an entire city.
We understand how earthquakes happen but not exactly where or when they will occur.
Until recently, quakes seemed to occur at random. In Japan, government research is now
showing that quakes can be predicted. At the Earthquake Research Institute, University of
Tokyo, Koshun Yamaoka says earthquakes do follow a pattern—pressure builds in a zone and
must be released. But a colleague, Naoyuki Kato, adds that laboratory experiments indicate
that a fault slips a little before it breaks. If this is true, predictions can be made based on the
detection of slips.
Research in the U.S. may support Kato’s theory. In Parkfield, California earthquakes
occur about every 22 years on the San Andreas fault. In the 1980s, scientists drilled into the
fault and set up equipment to record activity to look for warning signs. When an earthquake
hit again, it was years off schedule. At first the event seemed random but scientists drilled
deeper. By 2005 they reached the bottom of the fault, two miles down, and found something.
Data from two quakes reported in 2008 show there were two “slips’—places where the plates
widened—before the fault line broke and the quakes occurred.
We are learning more about these destructive events every day. In the future we may
be able to track earthquakes and design an early-warning system. So if the next great
earthquake does happen in Tokai, about 100 miles southwest of Tokyo, as some scientists
think, the citizens of Tokai may have advance warning.
(Adapted from Reading Explorer 3, Nancy Douglas et al., 2010)
Question 34: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. We can predict earthquakes using pre-slip theory.
B. There are now many theories about earthquakes.
C. Research is showing that we may be able to predict earthquakes.
D. Earthquakes are the most destructive natural disaster on earth.

___________.
A. The result of a great earthquake is a tsunami or fire that causes great damage.
B. Greater damage will occur from earthquakes in highly populated cities in danger zones.
C. Tsunamis and fire are caused by big earthquakes that we have not been able to predict.
D. Cities and other populous areas may suffer from worse earthquakes than other places.

B. Scientists in the U.S. found slips in the fault in the 1980’s.
C. Earthquakes occur about every 22 years along the San Andreas Fault.

If you go back far enough, everything lived in the sea. At various points in
evolutionary history, enterprising individuals within many different animal groups moved out
onto the land, sometimes even to the most parched deserts, taking their own private seawater
with them in blood and cellular fluids. In addition to the reptiles, birds, mammals and insects
which we see all around us, other groups that have succeeded out of water include scorpions,
snails, crustaceans such as woodlice and land crabs, millipedes and centipedes, spiders and
various worms. And we mustn’t forget the plants, without whose prior invasion of the land,
none of the other migrations could have happened.
Moving from water to land involved a major redesign of every aspect of life, including
breathing and reproduction. Nevertheless, a good number of thoroughgoing land animals later
turned around, abandoned their hard-earned terrestrial re-tooling, and returned to the water
again. Seals have only gone part way back. They show us what the intermediates might have
been like, on the way to extreme cases such as whales and dugongs. Whales (including the
small whales we call dolphins) and dugongs, with their close cousins, the manatees, ceased to
be land creatures altogether and reverted to the full marine habits of their remote ancestors.
They don’t even come ashore to breed. They do, however, still breathe air, having never
developed anything equivalent to the gills of their earlier marine incarnation. Turtles went
back to the sea a very long time ago and, like all vertebrate returnees to the water, they
breathe air. However, they are, in one respect, less fully given back to the water than whales
or dugongs, for turtles still lay their eggs on beaches.
There is evidence that all modern turtles are descended from a terrestrial ancestor
which lived before most of the dinosaurs. There are two key fossils called Proganochelys
quenstedti and Palaeochersis talampayensis dating from early dinosaur times, which appear
to be close to the ancestry of all modern turtles and tortoise. You might wonder how we can
tell whether fossil animals lived in land or in water, especially if only fragments are found.
Sometimes it’s obvious. Ichthyosaurs were reptilian contemporaries of the dinosaurs, with
fins and streamlined bodies. The fossils look like dolphins and they surely lived like
dolphins, in the water. With turtles it is a little less obvious. One way to tell is by measuring
the bones of their forelimbs.

May 1 is marked as International Labour Day, also referred as May Day. The day
celebrates labourers and the working class. Labour Day is an annual public holiday in many
countries. It is also referred as International Workers’ Day or just Worker’s Day.
During industrialization in beginning of the 19th Century, the industrialists used to exploit the
labour class and made them work up to 15 hours a day. The workers in the U.S. rose against
this exploitation and demanded paid leaves, proper wages and breaks for the workforce. The
eight-hour day labour movement advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation,
and eight hours for rest. The Labour Day annually celebrates the achievements of the workers.
The day has different story for different places. May 1 was chosen to be International
Workers’ Day to commemorate the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago. In that year, on May 1,
there was a general strike for the eight-hour workday. On May 4, the police acted to disperse a
public assembly in support of the strike when an unidentified person threw a bomb. The
police responded by firing on the workers. The event lead to several deaths. The incident is
remembered as the Haymarket affair, or the Haymarket massacre. The place in Haymarket
Square where the incident happened was designated a Chicago Landmark in 1992.
Labour Day or May Day has been a focal point of protests by various socialist and
communist groups and is an important holiday in communist countries like China, North
Korea, Cuba and the former Soviet Union countries. In India, the first Labour day or May Day
was celebrated in the year 1923. It was the Labour Kisan Party who had organised the May
Day celebrations in Chennai (then Madras).
Question 34: What is main topic of the passage?
A. The birth of the day dedicated to workers. B. Holidays that fall on Mondays.
C. Why and how Labour Day is celebrated. D. The rights of working class.
Question 35: The word “It” in paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A. workforce B. Labour Day C. public holiday D. working class
Question 36: According to paragraph 2, what is the origin of May Day being described?
Labour Day dates back to the late 1900s when the heavy industries were blooming.
B. Worker’s Day beginning was linked with the advent of class consciousness.
C. Labour Day has its origins in the labour union movement in the United States.
D. Worker’s Day concept has been brewing since the dawn of capitalism. Question 37:
According to paragraph 3, what is NOT correct about the incident of Haymarket?
A. Many people were killed when the police intervened by random gunfire.
B. The Haymarket tragedy inspired generations of rightist activists.
C. The Haymarket riot happened in the late 1800s in Chicago.
D. A bomb was thrown by an individual never positively identified. Question 38: The word
“focal” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. permanent B. leading C. basic D. central
The World Health Organization on Wednesday declared the rapidly spreading
coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that
“We expect to see the number of cases, the number of deaths, and the number of affected
countries climb even higher.”
WHO officials had said earlier they were hesitant to call the outbreak a pandemic in case it
led governments and individuals to give up the fight. On Wednesday, they stressed that
fundamental public health interventions can still limit the spread of the virus and drive down
cases even where it was transmitting widely, as the work of authorities and communities in
China, Singapore, and South Korea has shown.
The virus, which probably originated in bats but passed to people via an as yet
unrecognized intermediary animal species, is believed to have started infecting people in
Wuhan, China, in late November or early December. Since then the virus has raced around
the globe. South Korea, which has reported nearly 8,000 cases, also appears poised to bring
its outbreak under control with aggressive measures and widespread testing. But other
countries have struggled to follow the leads of China and South Korea — a reality that has
frustrated WHO officials who have exhorted the world to do everything possible to end
transmission of the virus. Tedros used the fact that 90% of the cumulative cases have been
reported in just four countries as evidence that the rest of the world still had time to prevent
an explosion of cases with action.
WHO officials also stressed that countries should be implementing a strategic
combination two types of measures. One involves trying to detect and stop known chains of
transmission by isolating cases and following and potentially quarantining their contacts. The
other involves community-level steps like social distancing and comes into play when the
virus is spreading more broadly and transmission chains can’t be tracked. Mike Ryan, the
head of the WHO’s emergency program, said that the public health interventions might not
have straightforward effect, but to slow the spread of the virus. People with severe cases can
require long periods of critical care and strain the resources of hospitals. He said he was
worried about “the case load, the demand on the health workers, the dangers that come with
fatigue, and potentially shortages of personal protective equipment.” Question 39: Which
best serves as the title for the passage?

Father's Day was created to complement Mother’s Day. Like Mother's Day
(29)________ honors mothers and motherhood, Father's Day celebrates fatherhood and
paternal bonds; it highlights the (30)___________ of fathers in society. Many countries
celebrate it on the third Sunday of June, but it is also celebrated widely on other days.
Historically, Sonora Smart Dodd was the woman behind the celebration of male parenting.
Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who (31)
________ his six children there. After hearing a sermon about Jarvis' Mother's Day in 1909,
she told her pastor that fathers should have a similar holiday honoring them. Although she
initially suggested June 5, her father's birthday, the pastors did not have enough time to
prepare their sermons, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first
celebration was in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA (Young Men's Christian Association)
on June 19, 1910. Since then it has become a traditional day (32) ________ year.
In recognition of what fathers do for their families, on this day people may have a
party celebrating male parenting or simply make a phone call or send a greeting card. (33)
_______, schools help children prepare handmade gifts for their fathers many days before the
celebration.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once
you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning to night, it is hard
to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of every life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the
bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation
and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor
performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual.
Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for
managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When
exposed to stress in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make
choice between “fight” or “flight”, and in more primitive days the choice made the difference
between life or death. The crises we meet today are not likely to be so extreme, but however
little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through
continued exposure to stress that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high
blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove
stress from our lives (and it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find
ways to deal with it.
Question 34: People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because
__________.
A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves
B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health

C. they are travelling fast all the time
D. they are becoming busier their work
Question 35: According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his
_______.
A. not fearing stress B. high sense of responsibility
C. knowing the art of relaxation D. having control over performance Question
36: Which of the following statements is true?
A. We can find some ways to avoid stress
B. Stress is always harmful to people
C. It’s easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work
D. Different people can withstand different amounts of stress
Question 37: In paragraph 3, “such a reaction” refers back to__________.
A. making a choice between “fight” or “flight”
B. reaction to stress both chemically and physically
C. responding to crises quickly
D. losing heart at the signs of difficulties
Question 38. In the last sentence of the passage, “do so” refers to _________.
A. expose ourselves to stress B. find ways to deal with stress
C. remove stress from our lives D. establish links between diseases and stress Read
the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 39 to 45.
The Socialist Republic of Vietnam has stood out as one such example of how to
effectively respond to the pandemic. Vietnam, which shares a border with China and is about
1,200 miles from where the outbreak was first reported in Wuhan, has overcome steep odds in
the global fight against COVID-19. As of April 6, the Vietnamese government has reported
245 confirmed cases with 95 recoveries and no fatalities.
The country’s response to the outbreak has received international recognition,
including from the World Health Organization and World Economic Forum, for its
comprehensive, low-cost model of disease prevention. WHO representative in Vietnam, Dr.
Ki Dong Park, attests the government “has always been proactive and prepared for necessary
actions”.
The Communist Party of Vietnam has strengthened its anti-pandemic measures by
implementing nationwide social distancing rules, such as banning outside gatherings of more
than two people while keeping a distance of 6.5 feet, and temporary shutdowns of
“nonessential” businesses, including restaurants, entertainment centers and tourist sites.
Supermarkets and other essential services remain open, but are instructed to safeguard
customers’ health by checking their temperatures before entering the building and providing
them with hand sanitizers. In addition, the government has warned against panic buying and
has taken action against businesses engaged in price gouging. To ensure social security for
affected workers, Vietnam has approved a 111.55 million dollar financial support package
that includes covering all costs for workers in quarantine or are recovering from the disease.
Unlike the U.S. capitalist class and the Trump administration, the Vietnamese
government took early measures to combat the current coronavirus epidemic. Officials began
preparing strategies to combat the outbreak immediately after the first cases emerged in
China.
On February 1, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc signed Decision No.173.QD-TTG,
categorizing the virus as a Class A contagious disease “that can transmit very rapidly and
spread widely with high mortality rates.” This declaration of a national emergency came after
the sixth case of coronavirus in the country was reported. In contrast, the Trump
administration only declared a national emergency over the global pandemic on March 13,
when there were at least 1,920 confirmed cases across 46 states.

Like high schools, American colleges are sometimes criticized for discarding required
courses and offering too (29)____________ electives. In the mid-1980s, the Association of
American Colleges issued a report that called for teaching a body of common knowledge to
all college students. A similar report, “Involvement in Learning,” issued by the National
Institute of Education, concluded that the college curriculum had become “excessively
workrelated”. The report also (30) __________ that college education may no longer be
developing in students “the shared values and knowledge” that traditionally bind Americans
together.
These reports coincided with a trend away from the liberal arts. (31)____________,
students were choosing major fields designed to prepare them for specific jobs. In 1992, 51
percent of the bachelor’s degrees were conferred in the fields of business and management,
communications, computer and sciences, education, engineering, and health sciences.
This trend raises questions (32)___________ apply to the educational philosophy of
all industrialized countries. In an age of technological breakthroughs and highly specialized
disciplines, is there still a need for the generalist with a broad background and welldeveloped
abilities to reason and communicate? And if the answer to that question is yes, should society
take steps to encourage its colleges and universities to produce more such generalists? Like
their (33) ____________ in other countries, American educators continue to debate these
questions.

Australia is suffering from one of its worst fire seasons in history, with more than two
dozen people killed, thousands of homes destroyed, and millions of acres burned so far.
Unfortunately, fires like this, exacerbated by the effects of climate change, will likely rage
again, but Australia’s government can take steps to minimize their destruction.
With warming temperatures, Australia will face longer fire seasons. To reduce future
damage, governments at all levels must act. Areas of focus should include enhancing early
warning systems and fire prediction capabilities; launching public awareness campaigns on
the dangers posed by climate-fueled bushfires and necessary prevention measures; conducting
more controlled burns; and developing more stringent building codes that address climate
risk.
At the state and local levels, communities need to professionalize their firefighting
capabilities. They should invest in improved training that educates firefighters and local
leaders about the changing characteristics of bushfires. And, once this fire season subsides,
states should oversee how and where rebuilding occurs, including restricting
redevelopment of particularly fire-prone areas.
(Adapted from https://www.cfr.org/) Question 34: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Australia’s measures to reduce the forest fires’ damage
B. The harmful effects of the Australia’s forest fires
C. The causes of forest fires in Australia
D. How Australia reconstructs the forests
Question 35: The word “rage” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
___________. A. stop B. spread C. change D. maintain
Question 36: According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT the solution taken by
the Australia’s government?
A. improving early warning systems and fire prediction capabilities
B. raising public awareness of the dangers of bushfires and essential prevention measures
C. limiting the number of controlled burns
D. developing more stringent building codes to address climate risk.
Question 37: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ________________.
A. local levels B. communities
C. firefighting capabilities D. local leaders
Question 38: As mentioned in paragraph 3, what should the states do to decrease the
effects of the fires after this fire season?
A. They should professionalize their firefighting capabilities.
B. They should invest in improved training that educates firefighters and local leaders.
C. They should take steps to minimize their destruction.
D. They should oversee how and where rebuilding occurs, including restricting
redevelopment of particularly fire-prone areas.
Children are not the face of this pandemic, but they risk being among its biggest
victims. While they have thankfully been largely spared from the direct health effects of
COVID-19 - at least to date – the crisis is having a profound effect on their wellbeing. All
children, of all ages, and in all countries, are being affected, in particular by the
socioeconomic impacts and, in some cases, by mitigation measures that may inadvertently do
more harm than good. This is a universal crisis and, for some children, the impact will be
lifelong. Moreover, the harmful effects of this pandemic will not be distributed equally. They
are expected to be most damaging for children in the poorest countries, and in the poorest
neighborhoods, and for those in already disadvantaged or vulnerable situations.
There are three main channels through which children are affected by this crisis:
infection with the virus itself; the immediate socioeconomic impacts of measures to stop
transmission of the virus and end the pandemic; and the potential longer-term effects of
delayed implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
All of this is affecting children in multiple ways. An estimated 42-66 million children
could fall into extreme poverty as a result of the crisis this year, adding to the estimated 386
million children already in extreme poverty in 2019. 188 countries have imposed countrywide
school closures, affecting more than 1.5 billion children and youth. The potential losses that
may accrue in learning for today’s young generation, and for the development of their human
capital, are hard to fathom. More than two-thirds of countries have introduced a national
distance learning platform, but among low-income countries the share is only 30 percent.
Before this crisis, almost one-third of the world’s young people were already digitally
excluded.
Lockdowns and shelter in place measures come with a heightened risk of children
witnessing or suffering violence and abuse. Children in conflict settings, as well as those
living in unsanitary and crowded conditions such as refugee and IDP settlements, are also
at considerable risk. Children’s reliance on online platforms for distance learning has also
increased their risk of exposure to inappropriate content and online predators.

There have never been so (29)___________ people living in cities in quake zones
because the worse the damage can be from a big quake, bringing fires, tsunamis, and the loss
of life, property, and maybe an entire city. We understand how earthquakes happen but not
exactly where or when they will occur. Until recently, quakes seemed to occur at random. In
Japan, government research is now showing that quakes can be predicted. At the Earthquake
Research Institute, University of Tokyo, Koshun Yamaoka says earthquakes do follow a
(30)__________ —pressure builds in a zone and must be released. But a colleague, Naoyuki
Kato, adds that laboratory experiments indicate that a fault slips a little before it breaks. If
this is true, predictions can be made based on the detection of slips.
Research in the U.S. may support Kato’s theory. In Parkfield, California earthquakes
occur about every 22 years on the San Andreas Fault. In the 1980s, scientists drilled into the
fault and set up equipment to record activity to look for warning signs. (31)________ an
earthquake hit again, it was years of schedule. At first the event seemed random but scientists
drilled deeper. By 2005 they reached the bottom of the fault, two miles down, and found
something. Data from two quakes reported in 2008 show there were two “slips’—places
(32)_______ the plates widened—before the fault line broke and the quakes occurred.
We are learning more about these destructive events every day. In the future we may
be able to track earthquakes and design an early-warning system. So if the next great
earthquake does (33)_______ in Tokai, about 100 miles southwest of Tokyo, as some
scientists think, the citizens of Tokai may have advance warning.

Most Americans say they know at least some of their neighbors, but only about
threein-ten say they know all or most of them. Rural residents are more likely than those in
urban or suburban areas to say they know all or most of their neighbors, but they don’t
necessarily interact with their neighbors more than their counterparts in other community
types.
Overall, Americans tend to be trusting of their neighbors, but this is particularly the
case in suburban and rural areas. About six-in-ten in these types of community say they have
a neighbor they would trust with a key to their home, compared with about half in urban
areas.
The longer people have lived in their community, the more likely they are to have a
neighbor they would trust with a key to their home. But even among those who report that
they have lived in their community for less than one year, 34% say they would be
comfortable with a neighbor having their keys. Meanwhile, 64% of those who have lived in
their community for six or more years and 47% of those who have done so for one to five
years say the same. Those who own their home are more likely than renters to say they
would be comfortable with a neighbor having a set of keys to their home (67% vs. 45%).
When asked to describe their neighbors, people in rural areas are far more likely than
those in cities and suburbs to say all or most of their neighbors share their race or ethnicity.
Suburbanites are somewhat more likely than their urban and rural counterparts to say their
neighbors are the same social class as they are, while relatively few across community types
say all or most of their neighbors share their political views.

D. How people trust their neighbors
Question 35: According to paragraph 2, how many Americans in suburban and rural areas
wouldn’t have enough belief in their neighbors to have a key to their home?
A. about 60% B. about 50% C. about 40% D. about 30%
Question 36: The phrase “the same” in paragraph 3 refers to __________.
A. they would be comfortable with a neighbor having their keys
B. they have lived in their community for six or more years
C. they have done so for one to five years
D. they have lived in their community for less than one year
Question 37: The word “share” in paragraph 4 most probably means _____________.

home key.
D. People living in rural areas are often in the same social class as their neighbors. Read
While the debate regarding how much screen time is appropriate for children rages on
among educators, psychologists, and parents, it’s another emerging technology in the form of
artificial intelligence and machine learning that is beginning to alter education tools and
institutions and changing what the future might look like in education. It is expected that
artificial intelligence in U.S. education will grow by 47.5% from 2017-2021 according to the
Artificial Intelligence Market in the US Education Sector report. Even though most experts
believe the critical presence of teachers is irreplaceable, there will be many changes to a
teacher’s job and to educational best practices.
AI has already been applied to education primarily in some tools that help develop
skills and testing systems. As AI educational solutions continue to mature, the hope is that AI
can help fill needs gaps in learning and teaching and allow schools and teachers to do more
than ever before. AI can drive efficiency, personalization and streamline admin tasks to allow
teachers the time and freedom to provide understanding and adaptability—uniquely human
capabilities where machines would struggle. By leveraging the best attributes of machines
and teachers, the vision for AI in education is one where they work together for the best
outcome for students. Since the students of today will need to work in a future where AI is the
reality, it’s important that our educational institutions expose students to and use the
technology.
Artificial intelligence tools can help make global classrooms available to all including
those who speak different languages or who might have visual or hearing impairments.
Presentation Translator is a free plug-in for PowerPoint that creates subtitles in real time for
what the teacher is saying. This also opens up possibilities for students who might not be able
to attend school due to illness or who require learning at a different level or on a particular
subject that isn’t available in their own school. AI can help break down silos between
schools and between traditional grade levels.

When it comes to discussing AI and the future of work we exhale in relief when
someone says machines will have a hard time replacing us. This statement is backed by the
argument that most AI systems are ‘narrow’. AI systems only do one thing but do it really
well, for example, predicting what you want to watch on Netflix. If you ask the same system
to make you a cup of coffee or drive your car, you’re likely to be disappointed.
But what happens when the AI system can perform the most significant tasks that a
job entails? One interesting example we found came from the fashion industry, where a
company had implemented two AI systems to produce novel designs. Together, they did all
work and the human’s role was only to surveil the work.
Research published earlier this year coined the term ‘Shadow Learning’. As explained
in the Harvard Business Review article titled ‘Learning to work with intelligent machines’,
the researcher studied the challenges new surgeons faced when learning robotic surgery
skills. Previously, they learned how to perform surgery by working alongside expert surgeons,
but now they’re forced to watch over the surgeon’s shoulder as, thanks to robotics,
individuals can handle entire surgeries with one pair of hands. The term, however, does not
mean that you learn by shadowing someone. The phrase refers to students who gained
experience with robotic tools by taking it upon themselves to acquire new skills outside of the
curriculum.
If we look beyond the current discussion of AI and the future of work – which usually
revolves around the number of jobs that will be impacted by AI – we can focus on how to
create inspiring new ways to work with machines.

Stephen Cameron, Vietnam’s patient number 91, has recovered from COVID-19 and
is returning home today (July 12th). The symbol of Vietnam’s pandemic success, as referred to
by Reuters (the ABC news), will be accompanied by a team of doctors during the flight to
London.
The 43-year-old Scot, arriving in Vietnam in early March, was tested positive for
COVID-19 only three days after his first flight for Vietnam Airlines, following a visit to a bar
in Ho Chi Minh City that became a coronavirus outbreak. Cameron’s illness and the highly
publicized efforts of Vietnam’s doctors to save him became a symbol in Vietnam of the
country’s successful fight against the virus, as reported by Reuters.
The ABC news recognized Vietnam’s huge efforts to save the man, who had been
critically ill and spent 65 days on life support. Doctors said at one point they considered a
lung transplant as the man’s lungs were 90% damaged and non-functional. With the vast
majority of Vietnam’s COVID-19 patients already recovered, the news of a potential first
death prompted a national outpouring of support, with dozens of people coming forward as
potential lung donors.
However, like a miracle, after he woke from a coma at the end of May, there were
small signs of improvement – a thumbs-up sign for an attentive doctor, a trip on to the
balcony to catch some sunshine and a video of him holding a Motherwell football club scarf
aloft. Every little progress was closely followed by the media and attracted great attention.
“The patient’s recovery has been like a very long flight” – Dr. Tran Thanh Linh, the
deputy head of the ICU ward at Cho Ray Hospital, said during a meeting between hospital
officials, the British Consulate and Vietnam Airlines representatives just before Cameron’s
discharge – the Washing Post reported. “All of the health workers are overwhelmed with joy
to see him fully recovered and being discharged from the hospital today.”
The UK’s Daily Mail quoted Mr Cameron: “I’m overwhelmed by the generosity of
the Vietnamese people, the dedication and professionalism of the doctors and nurses working
at Cho Ray Hospital. I’m going home with a happy heart because I’m going home, but it is
sad that I’m leaving so many people here that I’m friends with”.
Vietnam has reported 370 coronavirus cases with no local transmitted infection for
nearly three months. All recent cases are people who were infected abroad and had been
under compulsory quarantine upon their arrival in Vietnam.

Marine ecotourism focuses specifically on activities that take place on the coast or in
the ocean. It includes activities like eco-friendly boating, dolphin and whale watching,
snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing, but in a sustainable way and with an emphasis on
education.
One of the most popular forms of marine ecotourism is whale watching. Whales are
worth more alive than dead these days, after decades — maybe even centuries — of whaling.
While commercial whaling is banned in most countries, Japan, Norway and Iceland have
continued the practice through finding loopholes or just rebelling against the international
law. A recent National Geographic article discussed the fact that the Japanese, for example,
are eating much less whale meat than in the past. They’re also spending a lot more time whale
watching.
Mexico is another example of this. The shark watching revenue in the Gulf of
California region represents more than half the value from shark fisheries in the country.
Ecotourism has become a much-needed source of employment in the Gulf of California (and
other coastal regions) because of warming ocean temperatures, extreme weather events that
are taking place more often than they have in the past, and declining fish stocks. In
Newfoundland, Canada’s main sealing province, over 1.3 million people participated in whale
watching. That contributed to nearly $20 million to the local economy and is seen as a
possible alternative to the sealing economy.
Ecotourism Australia says that “ecotourism has rocketed from an unknown entity to
global phenomenon in the last 30 years and nature-based tourism already makes up 75
percent of the international tourism market.” It’s an example of knowing better and doing
better, and can make a positive impact on conservation efforts on the coast and in the ocean.

Whether you’re put off by student loans, you need a break from education, or you’re
keen on starting work straight after school – going to university isn’t the right choice for
everyone. And you might be surprised at the career prospects available to those without a
degree. If you’re considering not going to university, here are a few options of what you
could do next.
If you’ve just finished school and you don’t have any work experience, traineeships
and internships are a great way to prepare yourself for your future career. Traineeships
usually last from six weeks to six months, and are offered exclusively to 16-23 year olds. Not
only do they provide essential work preparation training, they’re also the perfect opportunity
to gain the practical skills and experience needed to move onto an apprenticeship or job.
While internships are similar to traineeships, they are available to people of all ages – and
usually focus more on providing practical work experience, rather than guided training and
work preparation.
School leaver programmes are becoming a popular choice for A-level students who
aren’t interested in university, but still want the learning and training that’s involved with
further education. These programmes are designed to give school leavers the chance to earn a
qualification whilst working part-time or full-time (and earning a wage). The exact structure
of a school leaver programmes will largely depend on the company you work for. School
leaver programmes could last anything from three to seven years, and are most common in
industries like accountancy, finance, retail, engineering, and IT. .
If you’re keen to start work straight away, an entry-level job could be well within your reach.
And you may be surprised at what kinds of jobs are available. Whether you want to start a
career in education, you’re interested in breaking into the marketing industry, or you’re
passionate about IT – you don’t always need extensive experience or qualifications to start a
career in your preferred sector. And with many employers providing on-the-job training for
new recruits, you’ll be able to learn a range of key skills to help you progress within the
industry.

Once your child is born, they start learning motor skills, language skills, cognitive
skills, and emotional skills.
Regarding motor skills, it is largely the family’s responsibility for teaching these
skills. Even if your child is in daycare, the work that parents put in at home to teach these
skills is much more effective than in the few hours your child is under someone else’s care.
Your child will learn how to sit up, walk, run, climb, hold a spoon and so on. These seem
quite natural to us as adults, but they are skills that have to be fine-tuned at a very young age,
and they also reinforce your child’s independence which is essential for their development.
Language skills are another essential component of the role of family in child
development. If you do not speak to your child and teach them your language, they will never
learn. One infamous example of this occurring is with Genie, a child who was locked in a
dark room with extremely little human contact until she was rescued at age 13. She was never
able to develop language fluency because it was never taught to her. So, teaching your
children language skills from a young age is also essential to child development.
Another skill that is very important for child development is emotion. Emotional skills
are important throughout your child’s entire life as they teach them when to have sympathy
and compassion for others as well as teach them how to deal with the highs and lows that
come with life. If your child does not have proper emotional skills, they will not be able to
deal with bad outcomes. If they lack emotional skills, it could lead to destructive choices
when they are older.
To help develop your child’s emotional skills, teaching them to smile and wave when
they are babies is a good place to start. When they get a bit older, teaching them to share is
very important. In a family, because there are multiple people, the family can be very helpful
in developing a child’s skills with the multiple perspectives. To bring this more to
foundational building blocks, while your child is very young, something very helpful for
family members to do is to teach children basic emotions. When a child is feeling a certain
way, naming emotions and describing them are important ways for your child to understand
how they are feeling. Once this foundation is set, children can learn how to respond to their
feelings and move forward.

The sound of music has changed as society has changed over the years, thus the
change in the sound of music is really a reflection of our cultural evolution. In the beginning
humans made music that closely mimicked the sounds they heard around them in nature in
terms of tones and repetitions.
In Indigenous cultures, music played a role in ceremonies and traditions. Traditional
instruments were played, and lyrics were often strongly linked to nature. The sounds of music
reflected this close association that indigenous cultures had with the land and its wildlife.
Over time, modern society has lost this connection. This is reflected in the changing sound of
the music and in the changing lyrics of songs that are sung. With time, more musical
instruments were developed and played together, which resulted in more sophisticated and
complex sounds being produced. The beats, rhythms, tempo and lyrics of songs all changed
along with the change in cultures.
Although some indigenous cultures such as many of the African tribes, Native
American tribes, South American ethnic people, and Australian aborigines still retain the
playing of their indigenous music, there have been influences from the western world
incorporated into some of the music. Features of the sound of music have changed over the
decades. The sound has definitely gotten louder. The pace and rhythm in many cases have
become faster, possibly reflecting the fast pace of the modern world that we live in today.
However the feature of music bounciness (how spiky and energetic the music feels) has
become less today when compared with the music of the1980s. Techno and reggae music are
typical examples of what is known as bouncy music.
The sound of music has become more complex over history mainly due to the
increased migration of people and their exposure to new elements. Today much of music has
sounds with elements from more than one region. The increasing tendency for music artists to
collaborate today is another reason we see more complexity and diversity in how music
sounds. https://sonicspace.org/ Question 46: Which of the following could serve as the best

There have never been so (34)___________ people living in cities in quake zones
because the worse the damage can be from a big quake, bringing fires, tsunamis, and the loss
of life, property, and maybe an entire city. We understand how earthquakes happen but not
exactly where or when they will occur. Until recently, quakes seemed to occur at random. In
Japan, government research is now showing that quakes can be predicted. At the Earthquake
Research Institute, University of Tokyo, Koshun Yamaoka says earthquakes do follow a
(35)__________ - pressure builds in a zone and must be released. But a colleague, Naoyuki
Kato, adds that laboratory experiments indicate that a fault slips a little before it breaks. If
this is true, predictions can be made based on the detection of slips. Research in the U.S. may
support Kato’s theory. In Parkfield, California earthquakes occur about every 22 years on the
San Andreas Fault. In the 1980s, scientists drilled into the fault and set up equipment to
record activity to look for warning signs. (36)________ an earthquake hit again, it was years
of schedule. At first the event seemed random but scientists drilled deeper. By 2005 they
reached the bottom of the fault, two miles down, and found something. Data from two quakes
reported in 2008 show there were two “slips’ - places (37)_____ the plates widened—before
the fault line broke and the quakes occurred. We are learning more about these destructive
events every day. In the future we may be able to track earthquakes and design an
earlywarning system. So if the next great earthquake does (38)_______ in Tokai, about 100
miles southwest of Tokyo, as some scientists think, the citizens of Tokai may have advance
warning.

What is the difference between friendship and love? This question has always been in
the minds of people for centuries. Though a definite answer cannot be given for this question,
one can come across some differences between the two.
When love can be termed as a sacrifice, friendship can be termed as a trust. Love is a
feeling that is uncontrollable, and a feeling which one has for another individual. On the other
hand, friendship is quite different from love in this aspect.
Love is a feeling between two individuals, and most of the time when they say “She/
he is my one and only” and in this case only two individuals are involved. But there are times
people may fall in love with more than one individual, but it is considered morally wrong
when you already have a partner or a boy/girlfriend. On the contrary, friendship involves
more individuals without any guilty feelings involved. One can have many friends, but most
of the time an individual can only have one person to love. You can love your family and
that’s another topic for discussion.
In love, there is great attachment for the other. Most of the time an individual gets
strong feeling of hurt if his loved one is in pain or hurt. This attachment may not be strong in
friendship. Regarding the emotions, individuals in love will experience a faster heartbeat
when they meet their loved one. This is not so when friends meet. There is no way that one
will lie awake and think of his friends for a whole night, but lovers will have sleepless nights,
and dream about their lovers. The lovers even sleep and wake up with the thoughts of his or
her lover.
Another difference that can be seen is that in love, some physical element is also
involved between individuals. On the other hand, there is no such physical element involved
in friendship.

There has always been a problem with teachers being from a different generation to
their pupils, particularly older educators. But the dominance of digital technology has spread
that generation gap even wider, as young people become conversant with mobile digital
devices, games and social media that didn’t exist when their teachers were growing up.
Teachers now face pupils using devices and online systems that they don’t use themselves,
and don’t really understand either. The generation gap is more prevalent than ever, but
teachers can bridge that gap if they receive the right guidance with appropriate technology.
Some schools and teachers have particular trouble grasping the role of social media
and mobile devices in teenage life. They consider Facebook a threat and warn parents against
it at parent-teacher evenings, without realizing that preventing teenagers from using social
media like this, or messaging apps such as Snapchat and Instagram, is nearly impossible.
Online social media and network gaming are now such an integral part of teenage behavior
that any attempt to prize the mobile devices out of the hands of young people is likely to
widen the generation gap rather than narrow it.
The generation gap in education isn’t just between pupils and teachers – it exists
within the staffroom, too. A teaching career can span more than 40 years, and those towards
the end of their working life will not have grown up with digital technology, whereas teaching
staff in their 20s and 30s could well be “digital natives”.
Keeping up with the latest online trend is like a dog chasing its tail; every time you
think you’ve caught up, kids move on. However, it’s not beneficial to get fixated on how
young people are using social networks that are, in the case of Snapchat, hard for the older
generation to understand. The key factor to consider is that today’s school students now take
for granted that a lot of their communication with their peers will be online, and
predominantly using smartphones and other mobile devices. Young people expect their
educational experience to be similarly interactive, and partially delivered via these kinds of
devices.

Most Americans say they know at least some of their neighbors, but only about threein-
ten say they know all or most of them. Rural residents are more likely than those in urban or
suburban areas to say they know all or most of their neighbors, but they don’t necessarily
interact with their neighbors more than their counterparts in other community types.
Overall, Americans tend to be trusting of their neighbors, but this is particularly the
case in suburban and rural areas. About six-in-ten in these types of community say they have a
neighbor they would trust with a key to their home, compared with about half in urban areas.
The longer people have lived in their community, the more likely they are to have a
neighbor they would trust with a key to their home. But even among those who report that
they have lived in their community for less than one year, 34% say they would be comfortable
with a neighbor having their keys. Meanwhile, 64% of those who have lived in their
community for six or more years and 47% of those who have done so for one to five years say
the same. Those who own their home are more likely than renters to say they would be
comfortable with a neighbor having a set of keys to their home (67% vs. 45%).
When asked to describe their neighbors, people in rural areas are far more likely than
those in cities and suburbs to say all or most of their neighbors share their race or ethnicity.
Suburbanites are somewhat more likely than their urban and rural counterparts to say their
neighbors are the same social class as they are, while relatively few across community types
say all or most of their neighbors share their political views.

The name is a bit of a mouthful, but cultural appropriation happens when a dominant
culture takes things from another culture that is experiencing oppression. Cultural exchange is
different from cultural appropriation. Things like tea, gunpowder and pasta have been shared
between different cultures throughout history. These ‘borrowings’ aren’t the same as cultural
appropriation, because they don’t involve power. When dominant groups take from an
oppressed group, we’re dealing with appropriation, not cultural exchange. Cultural
appropriation is also very different from assimilation. ‘Assimilation’ describes what happens
when minority cultures are forced to adopt features from a dominant culture in order to fit in.
When we look at a culture that’s experiencing oppression, it’s often a result of
colonization, where a dominant group has claimed ownership of the land and its people.
When the dominant group continues to steal aspects of the non-dominant culture, it continues
the economic oppression and disadvantage of that culture. In Australia, there are cases where
white Australian businesses have stolen Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artworks for use
on T-shirts and souvenirs. This allows the dominant culture to make money from the
nondominant culture, without benefiting the original artists.
Cultural appropriation also has a nasty habit of giving the dominant group credit for
aspects of a culture that they have taken, reinforcing the power imbalance between the two
groups. For example, Kylie Jenner was credited with starting an ‘edgy’ new hair trend, while
black actress Zendaya faced criticism for wearing her hair the same way. What’s interesting
about this, is that Zendaya’s natural hair was seen as a negative. But Kylie Jenner, a person
with no ties to black culture, was given credit for taking something that wasn’t hers.
Cultural appropriation creates stereotypes. The Native American chief, the Japanese
geisha or the Arab sheikh can be examples of stereotypes that pop up during Halloween. When
people from dominant cultures ‘dress up’ like this, it reduces something of cultural
significance to a costume just so that the dominant group can have ‘a bit of fun’. It also keeps
these kinds of stereotypes going.
There are times when it’s encouraged to try something from a different culture. Being
invited to an Indian wedding where the hosts are cool with you wearing traditional clothing is
not cultural appropriation.

Contrary to the perception that small talk is inconsequential, researchers have found that chit-chat
actually has many profound benefits. “As we broke down daily interaction, we realized our most
meaningful interactions are not when we’re talking about actual work. It’s when we’re greeting
administrative staff, or the friendly gabbing before a meeting,” said Jessica R. Methot of Rutgers
University and University of Exeter.
To measure the impact of small talk on employee well-being, the researchers surveyed 151 full-time
employees working at traditional 9 to 5 jobs outside the home. After controlling for participants’
baseline engagement for small talk, the researchers queried about levels of small talk throughout the
day, and asked respondents to rate their emotions, work productivity, and overall engagement.
“It didn’t matter if you were an introvert whose average amount of small talk was lower than what it
is for an extrovert, small talk enhanced employees’ daily positive social emotions and contributed to
employees feeling connected,” Methot said. Methot was quick to explain what small talk is not. It is
not long-winded ranting about an ineffective supervisor. It is not a sensitive discussion about
someone’s personal life. “It is surface level. It is ‘Weather looks great this weekend, any plans?’
Surface level is what gives it its benefits.”
Because small talk builds trust and connections, it also can lead to creative ideas and foster
inclusiveness. “Culturally, there are differences in the content and cadence of small talk, which can
create a barrier for new employees to engage with colleagues. In this age of greater awareness about
diversity and inclusion, small talk can be an asset to a company. It can be a road to more inclusion by
helping socialize and embed employees into the organizational culture.” Methot said.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions from 44 to 50.
In a paper published in Science Advances, an international team of researchers have examined traits
of marine megafauna species to better understand the potential ecological consequences of their
extinction under different future scenarios.
Defined as the largest animals in the oceans, with a body mass that exceeds 45kg, examples include
sharks, whales, seals and sea turtles. These species serve key roles in ecosystems, including the
consumption of large amounts of biomass, transporting nutrients across habitats, connecting ocean
ecosystems, and physically modifying habitats. Traits, such as how large they are, what they eat, and
how far they move, determine species’ ecological functions. As a result, measuring the diversity of
traits allows scientists to quantify the contributions of marine megafauna to ecosystems and assess the
potential consequences of their extinction.
The team of researchers – led by Swansea University’s Dr Catalina Pimiento – first compiled a
species-level trait dataset for all known marine megafauna to understand the extent of ecological
functions they perform in marine systems. Then, after simulating future extinction scenarios and
quantifying the potential impact of species loss on functional diversity, they introduced a new index
(FUSE) to inform conservation priorities.
The results showed a diverse range of functional traits held by marine megafauna, as well as how the
current extinction crisis might affect their functional diversity. If current trajectories are maintained, in
the next 100 years we could lose, on average, 18% of marine megafauna species, which will translate
in the loss of 11% of the extent of ecological functions. Nevertheless, if all currently threatened
species were to go extinct, we could lose 40% of species and 48% of the extent of ecological
functions. Sharks are predicted to be the most affected, with losses of functional richness far beyond
those expected under random extinctions.

Financial independence is one of the many markers used to designate the crossover from childhood
into young adulthood, and it’s a (34)_________ most Americans (64%) think young adults should
reach by the time they are 22 years old, according to a new Pew Research Center study. But that’s not
the reality for most young adults who’ve achieved this age.
The share of young adults who could be considered “financially independent” from their parents by
their early 20s – an assessment based on their annual income – has gone down somewhat in recent
decades. Looking more broadly at young adults aged 18 to 29, the share who are financially
independent has been (35)__________stable in recent decades. Overall, young men are more likely
than young women to be financially independent, but this gender gap has diminished significantly.
The new survey findings underscore the extent to which many young adults are financially reliant on
their parents. (36) ________ young adults who have received financial help from their parents say at
least some of it was for recurring expenses. Six-in-ten say the money went toward household expenses
such as groceries or bills, and significant shares used it to pay their tuition, rent, or mortgage. Beyond
financial independence, the pace with (37)_________ young adults are reaching other markers of

Two-thirds of people in the world will be living in cities by 2050 and the boom will be concentrated
in India, China and Nigeria, according to United Nations estimates released on Wednesday. The
world’s rural population will peak in a few years then decline by 2050, according to the report by the
UN’s population division.
Tokyo is currently the world’s largest city with 37 million people, followed by Delhi with 29 million,
Shanghai with 26 million, and Mexico City and São Paulo, each with around 22 million inhabitants.
Cairo, Mumbai, Beijing and Dhaka all have close to 20 million inhabitants. However, Delhi will
overtake Tokyo in top spot by around 2028, the report said. At about the same time, India is expected
to surpass China as the country with the world’s largest total population.
Around 55% of the world population lives in urban areas today, increasing to 68% by 2050. India,
China and Nigeria will account for more than a third of that expansion. There will also be more
megacities. In 1990, there were just 10 megacities, classed as places with populations of 10 million or
more. There are now 33 megacities and by 2030, 43 megacities are projected, mostly in developing
countries.
However, a few cities in Japan and South Korea – for example, Nagasaki and Busan – have
experienced population decline since 2000. Several cities in Eastern Europe, such as in Poland,
Romania, Russia and Ukraine, have lost population since the turn of the century. However,
urbanization could be seen as positive, said John Wilmoth, director of the population division. “The
increasing concentration of people in cities provides a way of more economically providing services,”
he said. “We find that urban populations have better access to health care and education.” The
concentration of population may also help to minimize our environmental impact on the planet, he
said, and help cities design policies and practices to prepare for the influx.
(Adapted from https://www.theguardian.com/) Question 39: What topic does the passage mainly

The earliest recorded festivities in honor of a new year’s arrival date back some 4,000 years to
ancient Babylon. For the Babylonians, the first new moon following the vernal equinox heralded the
start of a new year. Throughout antiquity, civilizations around the world developed increasingly
sophisticated calendars. In Egypt, for instance, the year began with the annual flooding of the Nile,
which coincided with the rising of the star Sirius. The first day of the Chinese new year, meanwhile,
occurred with the second new moon after the winter solstice.
The early Roman calendar consisted of 10 months and 304 days. Over the centuries, the calendar fell
out of sync with the sun, and in 46 B.C. the emperor Julius Caesar decided to solve the problem by
consulting with the most prominent astronomers and mathematicians of his time. He introduced the
Julian calendar, which closely resembles the more modern one that most countries around the world
use today.
In many countries, New Year’s celebrations begin on the evening of December 31—New Year’s Eve
—and continue into the early hours of January 1. In Spain and several other Spanish-speaking
countries, people bolt down a dozen grapes-symbolizing their hopes for the months ahead-right before
midnight. In many parts of the world, traditional New Year’s dishes feature legumes, which are
thought to resemble coins and herald future financial success; examples include lentils in Italy and
black-eyed peas in the southern United States. Because pigs represent progress and prosperity in some
cultures, pork appears on the New Year’s Eve table in Cuba, Austria, Hungary, Portugal and other
countries. Ring-shaped cakes and pastries, a sign that the year has come full circle, round out the feast
A.
in the Netherlands, Mexico, Greece and elsewhere. In Sweden and Norway, meanwhile, rice pudding
with an almond hidden inside is served on New Year’s Eve; it is said that whoever finds the nut can
expect 12 months of good fortune.
Other customs that are common worldwide include watching fireworks and singing songs to welcome
the new year, including the ever-popular “Auld Lang Syne” in many English-speaking countries. The
practice of making resolutions for the new year is thought to have first caught on among the ancient
Babylonians, who made promises in order to earn the favor of the gods and start the year off on the
right foot.

Flirting is a fundamental fixture in the sexual behavior repertoire, a time-honored way of signaling
interest and attraction. It is a kind of silent language spoken by men and women around the world. The
ways people communicate interest are so deeply rooted in human nature that the signals are
automatically understood by all: from ways of glancing to movements such as licking one’s lips, to
meet nature’s most basic command—find a good mate and multiply.
Flirting is not a trivial activity; it requires many skills: intellect, body language, creativity, empathy.
At its best, flirting can be high art, whether the flirter is vying for a soul mate, manipulating a potential
customer, or just being playful.
The process of flirting allows the signaling of interest to another in small increments, which is
especially appealing to a partner. Flirting is driven by emotions and instinct rather than logical
thought. Yet the gestures and movements used in flirting also provide reliable clues to a person’s
biological and psychological health.
Flirting has many parallels in the animal world, seen in the behavioral displays many animals engage
in to signal not only their availability but their suitability. For example, penguins search for small
pebbles to deliver to their partner of interest. Seahorses lock their tails together for a romantic swim.
Bower birds use leaves, grass, and twigs to construct elaborate nests.
Across the animal kingdom, such actions are closely tied to seasonal reproductive readiness and
signal reproductive fitness by one creature to another. Among humans, the repertoire of flirting
behaviors can be deployed at will and the exact meaning of any gesture is usually a matter of
interpretation.

Education technology (EdTech) is one of the few industries experiencing a sharp upward demand,
reinforcing its potential for profitability and the role it can play in societal wellbeing.
The global spreading of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has required drastic regulations in an effort to
contain it. One of the first compulsory measures taken by affected countries has been the closure of all
schools. The sudden adjustments of educational processes and altered dynamics between all involved
parties - schools, teachers, students and parents – are challenging familiar routines and threatening
crucial public objectives. Accordingly, the World Bank has commissioned its EdTech expertise team to
support policymakers worldwide in facilitating the continuation of basic education by adapting to
modern technologies.
EdTech’s practical value has hence rapidly improved from its pre-pandemic standing. Previously
considered an option for quality education and a supplement to traditional schooling systems, it is now
essential for preserving a progressing society.
Institutions previously working with digitalized education platforms have already benefitted during
the COVID-19 crisis from their contemporary approach. These schools smoothly mastered the sudden
transition to homeschooling, easing the adjustment process for students and parents. Their early
investment in equipment and software and in coaching of educational staff has allowed them to
continue their operations with minimal interruption.
Investors have long identified the windows of opportunity offered by technology in the classrooms.
However, its recent unprecedented expansion highlights even more its sustainable profitability. “So far
only 2 to 3% of the 5 trillion USD spent globally on education is digital. This, combined with
EdTech’s sudden vital role during COVID-19 and the significant differences seen up to now in its
geographical investments, intensify the previously unseized global growth opportunities”, says Dr.
Kirill Pyshkin, Fund Manager at Credit Suisse Asset Management.

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has upended family life around the world.
School closures, working remotely, physical distancing — it’s a lot for parents to navigate. Robert
Jenkins, UNICEF’s Global Chief of Education, offers some tips to help keep children’s education on
track while they’re staying home.
First, plan a routine together. Try to establish a routine that factors in age-appropriate education
programmes that can be followed online, on the television or through the radio. Also, factor in
playtime and time for reading. Use everyday activities as learning opportunities for your children.
Although establishing a routine and structure is critically important for children and young people, in
these times you may notice your children need some level of flexibility. If your child seems restless
and agitated when you’re trying to follow an online learning programme with them, flip to a more
active option. Do not forget that planning and doing house chores together safely is great for the
development of fine and gross motor functions.
Next, have open conversations. Encourage your children to ask questions and express their
feelings with you. Remember that your child may have different reactions to stress, so be patient and
understanding. Start by inviting your child to talk about the issue. Find out how much they already
know and follow their lead. Discuss good hygiene practices. You can use everyday moments to
reinforce the importance of things like regular and thorough handwashing. Make sure you are in a safe
environment and allow your child to talk freely. Drawing, stories and other activities may help to open
a discussion.
Last, protect children online. Digital platforms provide an opportunity for children to keep
learning, take part in play and keep in touch with their friends. But increased access online brings
heightened risks for children’s safety, protection and privacy. Discuss the internet with your children
A.
so that they know how it works, what they need to be aware of, and what appropriate behavior looks
like on the platforms they use, such as video calls.

A. Separating learning online from doing everyday activities.
B. Letting their children free in their leisure time.
C. Not involving their children in doing domestic chores.
D. Planning a flexible routine that is suitable for the age of their children. Question 41: The word
“agitated” in paragraph 2 most probably means __________.

A new study shows that urbanization shifts this seasonal cue in nuanced ways, with cities in
cold climates triggering earlier spring plant growth and cities in warm climates delaying it. The study
also found that the urban heat island effect, the phenomenon in which cities are warmer than their
surroundings, is not the only culprit behind the shift, suggesting that other aspects of urbanization,
such as pollution, changes in humidity and fertilizer runoff, may also influence plants' seasonal
patterns.
Researchers analyzed millions of observations of 136 plant species across the U.S. and Europe
to study how regional temperature and the local density of people—a proxy for urbanization—affect
when plants sprout leaves and blossoms. Their results revealed a complex story: Separately, warmer
temperatures and higher population density each spurred earlier springs. A 3.6-degree Fahrenheit
increase in temperature bumped up plants' production of leaves and flowers by about five and six
days, respectively. A fourfold increase in human population density advanced flowering and leaf
production dates by about three days. But the team found that when these two factors worked together,
local temperature had an outsized influence.
In cold regions — areas with an average November-to-May temperature of about 18 degrees—
plants produced leaves and flowers about 20 days earlier in locations with about 26,000 people per
square mile, compared with equally frigid wildland. When an area's average November-to-May
temperature jumped to 68, however, leaves and flowers appeared four and six days later, respectively,
in locations with about 26,000 people per square mile, compared with equally balmy wildland. In New
York, for example, plants are likely sprouting leaves about 9.5 days earlier and blossoms eight days
earlier than uninhabited regions with the same temperature. Jacksonville, in contrast, is likely pushing
leaf production later by about one day and flowers by about half a day, with leaves appearing two days
later and flowers a day later in Houston.
Even after accounting for urban heat islands, the team's models revealed cities significantly
affect plants' springtime growth. "Not only are there other things going on, but they actually matter
quite a lot," said study co-author Brian Stucky, Florida Museum research scientist. Plants may not be
the only organisms affected by seasonal shifts, he added. "Seasons are such a big part of our lives. We
define our world around seasonal things. Those rhythms are what we think of as the normal way the
world works."

The main idea behind ecotourism is to educate tourists about conservation efforts and research
developments in fragile natural areas, while also offering travelers a chance to experience those areas
firsthand. Unfortunately, when those fragile areas start to receive a lot of traffic from tourists, it can
negatively impact their ecosystems.
Tourism inevitably leads to development – even in ecotourism efforts. When natural areas
become popular in the travel industry, they usually become the site of hotels, excavations and other
tourist industry activities. These activities sometimes displace indigenous groups and local people
from their homelands, which not only damages the integrity of those local communities, but prevents
its members from benefiting from the economic benefits of a growing tourism industry.
On top of ecotourism’s potential impacts on locals, the industry can also take a toll on
surrounding wildlife. It’s ironic, given that ecotourism aims to educate ecotourists and promote the
conservation of natural habitats, but, for some species, the increased presence of humans may by
default negatively impact their natural behaviors. Increased foot traffic can also affect soil quality and
plant life in general, damaging the area’s overall ecosystem. Finally, not all travel organizations
that market themselves as ecotourist programs are actually environmentally friendly. These
organizations know ecotourism is growing in popularity and may take advantage of that fact by
parading as ecotouristic when in reality they ignore eco-friendly practices. For that reason, it’s
important that would-be ecotourists do their homework before giving an organization their business.

the major goal of ecotourism?
A. to increase the employment rate of the local people
B. to stimulate the preservation of natural habitats
C. to enhance tourists’ knowledge about the beauty of surrounding wildlife
D. to diminish the foot traffic affecting the soil quality
Question 34: Which of the following negative impacts of ecotourism is NOT mentioned in the
passage?
A. Some indigenous groups and local inhabitants may not receive the economic benefits of
ecotourism.
B. The increase in the number of vehicles will make pollution worse.
C. Some travel organizations do not actually provide environmentally friendly tours.

Question 35. What does the author mean when suggesting that ecotourists should “do their
homework”?
A. Ecotourists should attend some courses about ecotourism.
B. Ecotourists should finish their school work before the journey.

The administrative room, which serves as the department headquarters, is noisy like a market.
Health workers from all over the country are present. People dispersed to various corners where we
carefully put on our personal protective equipment (PPE). After putting on the PPE, we slowly entered
the danger zone, where the patients were waiting. The ward with the most seriously ill patients is the
red zone, which is completely isolated since it is the most dangerous. Next is the transition area called
the yellow zone, and finally the medical staff's safe base, the briefing room, dubbed the green zone.
When going from green to red we must wear the PPE, and when leaving the red zone we must remove
the PPE and carefully disinfect it from head to toe before entering the green zone.
We finally entered the ward. With the PPE on, every movement became very difficult, the
goggles became foggy, and even breathing was difficult. Every one of the patients was suffering from
shortness of breath, coupled with anxiety and panic from witnessing other patients in the room get
worse and occasionally pass away. We had to practice speaking and breathing gently to avoid creating
strong air flows through our masks, which makes it easy to spread the infection. Nurses struggle to
perform venipuncture. Normally very dexterous at drawing blood, here they sometimes need two or
three attempts since having to wear multiple pairs of gloves hinder their ability to feel with their
fingers. It is also difficult for doctors to examine the patients since they cannot use stethoscopes and
must be very brief when asking patients questions. Instead, by observing whether patients breathe
gently, with difficulty or abnormally, and noting their facial expressions, sweat, skin color, we can
assess the progress of the disease.
As the day went by, severe patients were treated and less severe patients were recovering, and so
we finally felt reassured despite being drenched in sweat. Just as it was time for us to return to the
green zone to write up medical records, there was a commotion from the room next door. A patient's
condition was worsening. All the medical staff in the room rushed in for emergency treatment. After a
few minutes the patient's heartbeat returned, and the ventilator was reattached for the patient to resume
breathing. My colleagues were covered in sweat as if they had just showered.

Exploration has changed a lot over time. In the past, only adventurers who were willing to take
(34) __________ were considered explorers. In contrast, anyone can be an explorer today thanks to
modern technology.
In the past, when explorers traveled the world, people back home had to wait for months to hear
about their adventures. Explorers kept (35) __________ and wrote letters about their experiences.
They would only be able to tell (36)__________what they saw after they returned. By the end of the
nineteenth century, explorers were also able to take photos in the same way (37)__________ they do
today. However, they were unable to see the photos right away. It often took a long time for them to
get photos printed.
(38) __________, today’s explorers can travel around the globe and can send back live, real-
time images. Thanks to high-tech devices and the Internet, anyone can interact with them. When a
discovery is made, we can see photos on social media and read blog posts the same day. We may not
be there, but we still take part in the adventure.

When I surveyed over 5,000 middle grade students for my book, kids were already reminding
me of the technology gap between them and their parents. They claimed that parents “didn’t have a
clue” as to what they were experiencing on screens. While generation gap is often characteristic of
adolescence in any generation, it is even wider because of rapidly changing technology.
Even the guidelines I prescribed six years ago would be impossible to implement for this
generation of tablets, cellphones and notebooks that travel in children’s backpacks. Setting and
enforcing guidelines early for children is helpful. Taking technology away at bedtime is still possible
and at least allows them a good night’s rest. Cautioning your children about not sharing real names,
addresses or phone numbers in chatrooms or for any emails protects them somewhat. Making sure
your hardworking home is balanced by non-screen family fun can be enormous protection. Beware of
over-consequencing and over-punishing for small problems.
We don’t want your children to think of their parents as enemies in a battle of wills.
Tell your children how wise and experienced you are and how much you love them at least five
times a week. They need to know they can count on you in this complex, fastmoving world even if
they know more about technology than you do. Like every generation, your children will grow up and
hopefully find responsible directions for their own lives. Technology skills are valued in the work
force and technology is here to stay. Learning as much about it as possible will help you stay tuned-in
to what your children aren’t saying. (Source: https://www.wdtimes.com/) Question 39: Which could

If we really care about nature, then surely conservation has to be practical; it needs to work.
Everything we hear on the news seems to say the opposite: nature continues to go down the tube;
extinction rates are increasing; new threats like climate change are emerging; and beautiful places are
being destroyed before our eyes. All this is true; and yet…
If things are getting worse, it is obvious that conservation is failing. Well, no. In 2006, scientists
at BirdLife International showed that conservation action had prevented 16 bird species from going
extinct during the 1994-2004 time period. In 2014, scientists from the Durrell Wildlife Conservation
Trust found that sustained conservation action from 1988 to 2012 resulted in eight species being
down-listed to lower categories of threat on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In a pivotal
study in 2015, a group of researchers from the IUCN Species Survival Commission found that without
conservation action that took place between 1996 and 2008, the status of the world’s ungulates (deer,
antelopes, cattle and their relatives) would have been nearly eight times worse than was actually
observed. In 2017, researchers were able to quantify how conservation investments made between
1996 and 2008 reduced biodiversity loss in 109 countries by 29% per country on average.
Once again, this suggests that although too little was spent on conservation, it had a significant
level of success. As a result, decision-makers are now in a position, for the first time, to forecast what
the positive impacts of any increase in conservation spending are likely to be in relation to different
scenarios of human development pressure, and then compare these forecasts to their policy targets.
There is one clear conclusion from these and similar studies: conservation does work, but we do
not do anywhere close to enough of it. The threats to nature are certainly growing and this means that
we have to spend more on conservation just to stand still. On the other hand, if some of the
commitments made by the world’s governments are actually acted upon, such as the 2010 Aichi
Biodiversity Targets and the 2015 Sustainable Development Goals, then the number of resources to be
allocated to conservation is set to increase. Let’s hope that this will indeed be the case.

The 21 st century has become another important century for inventions and discoveries. We are
only in the 2nd decade of this century currently but we have already witnessed many big innovations
that have drastically changed our way of living. Bluetooth technology, broadband internet, artificial
heart, genetic engineering, virtual reality, 3D printing are some to name a few. These inventions are
changing the way we live, do our things and communicate with the others. Even though some of these
developments are in the early stage of innovation, they have a more sophisticated and promising
future. Social media is one of the most important aspects that has affected each person in this modern
time.
According to Heidi Cohen, Social Media are the platforms that enable the interactive web by
engaging users to participate in, comment on and create content as means of communicating with their
social graph, other users and the public. The power of social media has changed most of the things in
our daily life. Social media has revolutionized and completely changed the way we send and receive
information. It is more interactive, can be done in realtime and uses a wide number of media like text,
audio, video, pictures, graphics and more. With these sites, sending and receiving messages offline and
in realtime, audio and video chatting, sharing pictures, video and text, going “Live” to many
audiences, meeting old friends and making new has revolutionized our way of establishing
connections with others. There are also the negative sides of the innovation of social media and
their usage. Increase in cyber-crime, invasion of privacy, security threats etc. is some of the issues
associated with social networks. But at the same time social networks are working themselves to cope
with the increasing problems that arise with the improper use of it. With more and more sophistication
and versatility of use, social media have undoubtedly proved to be a boon to connectivity and social
interaction between people in this age of communication and information technology.

Six the Musical tells the stories of King Henry VIII's six wives through a collection of pop songs
as they compare lives to see who suffered the most and who should therefore lead their girl group. The
songs are catchy, fun, and exciting, and they are genuinely great pop tunes. The singing performances
from the Australian actresses were amazing, and all of them were technically very skilled.
A.
It originated as a college student's concept album and it is clear even in performance that it is not
designed to exist as anything more than that. The dialogue is clumsy and tonally confused. It gives the
audience proverbial whiplash by sounding like a Hi-5 concert one moment to hammy, beginner
improv-style dialogue the next, before snapping to blunt, and pretty overt, British jokes about sex and
adultery.
Six tries to emulate Hamilton's success by using modern musical elements and basing the story
on a 'woke' and empowering retelling of history. But, as a revision on Henry VIII's wives, it just
regurgitates a bunch of facts that the audience already knows and sets it to the song. In performance
most of the characters are portrayed as strong, independent women, and they pull it off well by
anchoring their music in modern-day pop feminists. But the squabbles between the wives play into the
stereotype that women are catty and bitch about each other behind their backs. The entire musical is
steeped in the idea that these women are only notable because of their relationship with King Henry
VIII. Only in the last song of the show do the women finally reject Henry VIII and come to support
and appreciate each other. Six didn't have to be like that. It could have been about the women
supporting each other from the start.
And that is my other problem with Six. It tries to sell itself as a musical when it really isn’t. Most
of the actresses cannot act or dance, they can only sing, and the choreography they are working with is
very static compared to the likes of West Side Story, Moulin Rouge or most other musicals. At the
same time, the set and lighting design are barely used and don't add much to their performances.

Question 47: According to paragraph 3, what is the problem with Six the musical?
A. It tries to follow in the footsteps of the legendary historical musical – Hamilton.
B. The musical fails to provide a new perspective as a revision on Henry VIII's wives.
C. The characters can’t portray the pop stars they are modelled after.
D. The cast of Six the musical all consists of female performers.

A. a rendition of history should not stray too far from the original version.

In the book The Population Bomb, which crystallized fears about the planet’s burgeoning
population, Paul Ehrlich predicted widespread famine, social upheaval and a deterioration in
environmental conditions.
The author was wrong. The green revolution that vastly increased agricultural production
starting in the 1960s meant his (34) __________ didn’t come to pass. From the 1960s through the
1900s, yields of rice and wheat in Asia doubled. (35)__________ as the continent’s population
increased by 60 per cent, grain prices fell, the average Asian consumed nearly a third more calories,
and the poverty rate was cut in half.
To keep doing that between now and 2050, we’ll need (36) __________green revolution. There
are two competing visions of (37)__________it will happen. One is hightech, with a heavy emphasis
on continuing work of breeding better crops, but with modern genetic techniques. Scientists can now
identify and manipulate a huge variety of plant genes, for traits like disease (38) __________ and
drought tolerance. That is going to make farming more productive and resilient.

Question 38: A. insistence B. resistance C. persistence D. existence 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 39 to 43.
Education has been the focus of media attention since the virus has intermittently closed
classrooms and campuses over the past year. But despite the disruption, the widespread shift to online
learning has given learners and education providers a glimpse of the future.
For our latest Better Managers Briefing, I spoke with Paul Geddes – CEO of technology training
provider QA; and Tim Stewart – the vice chancellor of BPP University and a professor of business
education.
Taking education online was the first and most obvious short-term delivery impact of the
pandemic. For example, Tim says that for him and BPP as an awarding body, the biggest
accomplishment was being able to move assessments online, enabling thousands of students to sit
hundreds of exams under supervision and be able to continue gaining credits and to graduate.
“Inevitably, after the pandemic, some of this will move back offline,” he predicts, “but I think we will
see a much more significant role for online teaching, online assessment, online socializing and online
libraries.”
Mixing “on-demand” digital delivery with live online learning has been essential at QA, says
Paul. “For learners, live lessons mean that you’re more likely to turn up, you're focused, you're going
to pay attention and not be distracted… because your trainer could ask you a question at any time,” he
says. “You can ask questions, you're part of a cohort that can learn from each other and the subject
matter can be tailored to your understanding.” Paul believes, “If you're in a cohort of learners, it’s still
important that you can have a cup of coffee with them and chat through what you’ve just learned in
class. But I don’t think things will return fully to where they were in terms of physical attendance.”
(Source: https://www.managers.org.uk/) Question 39: Which could be the best title of the passage?
A. The changing landscape of education.
B. Between going online or staying offline.
C. What makes teaching and learning successful.
D. How to thrive in the workforce of the future.
Question 40: The word “intermittently” in paragraph 1 mostly means __________.
A. customarily B. repeatedly C. sporadically D. continually Question 41: Which is
NOT mentioned about online learning during the pandemic? A. Students can continue their
degree and graduate normally.
B. Students can be supervised individually through technology.
C. Students can interact with the teacher and other students.
D. Students can sit through tests and be graded.
Question 42: The word “them” in paragraph 4 refers to __________.
A. trainers B. things C. learners D. questions
Question 43: According to the passage, how will the education change post-pandemic? A.
Digital delivery will be blended with live learning.
B. Companies will invest more in digital infrastructure.
C. Physical classrooms will have lower rates of attendance.
D. Technical and soft skills will be added to the curriculum.
You’ve heard all the reasons why some people don’t learn languages, many of these founded on
long-held myths and misconceptions. The truth is, in today’s increasingly interconnected and
interdependent world, proficiency in other languages is a vital skill that gives you the opportunity to
engage with the world in a more immediate and meaningful way—whether in your neighborhood or
thousands of miles away—while better preparing you to compete and succeed in the global economy.
One of the most rewarding aspects of the human experience is our ability to connect with others.
Being able to communicate with someone in his or her language is an incredible gift. Bilinguals have
the unique opportunity to communicate with a wider range of people in their personal and professional
lives. Knowing the language makes you a local no matter where you are, opening up your world
literally and figuratively. You will be shaped by communities. You will be humbled by the kindness of
strangers. You will build lifelong friendships. And for these reasons alone, you will see the reward of
learning languages for many years to come.
Language skills can be a significant competitive advantage that sets you apart from your
monolingual peers. They are among the top eight skills required of all occupations—no matter your
sector or skill level—and the demand for bilingual professionals is rising exponentially. In fact,
between 2010 and 2015, the number of U.S. job postings specifically geared toward bilingual
candidates more than doubled. Employers are seeking professionals who can communicate seamlessly
with customers in new and expanding overseas markets, as well as serve and sell to a large foreign-
born population here at home. With more than 60 million U.S. residents who speak a language other
than English at home, you don’t need to get on a plane to put your language skills to work. As an
added incentive, in many instances, language skills also lead to hiring bonuses and increased salaries.
Whatever your career aspiration—with language skills added to the mix, you’re ahead of the crowd!
(Adapted from https://www.leadwithlanguages.org/) Question 44: Which of the following best serves
as the title of the passage?
A. Reasons Not to Learn Foreign Languages B. Why Learn Foreign Languages?
C. What Foreign Languages to Learn? D. Who Need to Learn Foreign Languages?
Question 45: According to paragraph 2, the following are the benefits of knowing another language,
EXCEPT__________.
A. you can communicate with more people in their personal and professional lives.
B. you may become a local person wherever you go.
C. you will get suspicious if strangers are kind to you.
D. you will have many intimate friends.
Question 46: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to __________.
A. language skills B. monolingual peers C. eight skills D. occupations Question
47: According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Our ability to communicate with others is the first requirement in our jobs.
B. You have to learn languages for many years to travel alone.
C. There is an exponential increase in the demand for bilingual professionals.
D. You cannot succeed if you are unable to compete in the global economy.
Question 48: The word “geared” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. tended B. avoided C. trained D. left
A.
Question 49: According to paragraph 3, what kind of employees do the U.S employers want to hire?
A. the professionals who can speak a language other than English at home
B. the foreign employees who were born in their nation
C. the workers who can get on a plane to put their language skills to work
D. the professionals who can satisfy the demands to work with the international customers in their
