lesser-known sports. Once constructed, sports venues often incur (27)_______ maintenance costs
long after the Games have ended.
While costs are the primary concern for a host city, there are other factors to consider. For one,
an Olympic host city may receive (28)_______ revenue from ticket sales, tourist spending,
corporate sponsorship, and television rights. Cities such as Los Angeles (1984) and Seoul (1988)
actually made a large profit from the Games they hosted. (29)_______ , hosting the Olympic Games
confers prestige on a host city and country, which can lead to increased trade and tourism. The
Olympics are also an opportunity to invest in projects (30)_______ improve the city's quality of life,

such as new transportation systems.

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 31 to 35).
NATURE IN DANGER
Deforestation has important global consequences. Forests sequester carbon in the form of wood
and other biomass as the trees grow, taking up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When forests
are burned, their carbon is returned to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that has
the potential to alter global climate, and the trees are no longer present to sequester more carbon.
In addition, the effects of forest clearing, selective logging, and fires interact. Selective logging
increases the flammability of the forest because it converts a closed, wetter forest into a more open,
drier one. This leaves the forest vulnerable to the accidental movement of fires from cleared
adjacent agricultural lands and to the killing effects of natural droughts. As wildfires, logging, and
droughts continue, the forest can become progressively more open until all the trees are lost.
Additionally, the burning of tropical forests is generally a seasonal phenomenon and can severely
impact air quality. Record-breaking levels of air pollution have occurred in Southeast Asia as the
result of burning for oil palm plantations.
In the tropics, much of the deforested land exists in the form of steep mountain hillsides. The
combination of steep slopes, high rainfall, and the lack of tree roots to bind the soil can lead to
disastrous landslides that destroy fields, homes, and human lives. With the significant exception of
the forests destroyed for the oil palm industry, many of the humid forests that have been cleared are
soon abandoned as croplands or only used for low-density grazing because the soils are extremely
poor in nutrients. The vegetation that contains most of the nutrients is often burned, and the nutrients
literally "go up in smoke" or are washed away in the next rain.
Although forests may regrow after being cleared and then abandoned, this is not always the
case, especially if the remaining forests are highly fragmented. Such habitat fragmentation isolates
populations of plant and animal species from each other, making it difficult to reproduce without
genetic bottlenecks, and the fragments may be too small to support large or territorial animals.

Furthermore, deforested lands that are planted with commercially important trees lack biodiversity
and do not serve as habitats for native plants and animals, many of which are endangered species.
(Source: < />Question 31. The passage is mainly about _______ .
A. habitat for wildlife
B. effects of deforestation
C. modern deforestation
D. history of deforestation
Question 32. When forests are burned, their _______ is returned to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

A. Forest
B. Fire
C. Selective logging D. Forest clearing

A. harmless
B. ugly
C. catastrophic
D. inseparable
Question 35. Landslides destroy fields, homes, and human lives because of_______.
A. disastrous landslides converting the deforested land into the form of steep mountain hillsides
B. the combination of steep slopes, high rainfall, and the lack of tree roots to bind the soil
C. the nutrients contained in vegetation being burned or being washed away by rain
D. the fact that soil in many humid forests becomes very poor in nutrients

Alligators and Crocodiles

Alligators and crocodiles are both native to America, and they both belong to the group of animals
called crocodilians. They also look similar, and many people might even think they are the same
animal. There are several differences that can be used to tell them apart.
American alligators are much more common than African crocodiles. Because they hate the cold,
alligators live in the southern part of the country usually in fresh water lakes and swamps. Their skin is
dark with bright stripes and spots of yellow. They eat almost anything they can catch, including fish,
birds, and, occasionally people! Until 1970, it was legal to hunt them, but too many were killed for
their skins. Now there are strict controls on hunting, and alligators are again numerous in many areas.
American crocodiles are a bit different. They are even more sensitive to cold, so they live only in the
tropical climate of southern Florida. Most crocodiles prefer the saltwater of coastal areas. They are very
shy, so people do not often see them in the wild. Their skin is grayish-green or brown, and their heads
are longer and more triangle-shaped than that of an alligator. They eat only fish and other water
animals. Crocodiles are listed as an endangered species, so they are also protected by US law.
25. What would be the best tittle for this passage?
A. Alligators and Crocodiles: American Brothers
B. Crocodilians: Their Similarities
26. What don’t alligators eat?
A. Water animals
B. Fish

C. The Animals of the Swamps
D. Hunting Crocodiles: Terror in the Swamp
C. Garbage

D. People

27. The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. alligators
B. people
C. birds

D. crocodiles

28. What does the word “sensitive” in paragraph 3 mostly mean?
A. familiar
B. easily attacked
C. easily upset

D. preferable

A. They look exactly the same.
C. They both hurt people.
B. They both prefer warm places.
D. They are both very numerous.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate

Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the
top of the list. It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection
and creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better
than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal
information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover
of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will
be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then
they will adapt the information to each student. It's not a popular opinion and it's unlikely that robots will
ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the
world, there aren't enough teachers and 9–16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don't go to school. That
problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get stressed, or tired,
or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.
Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all over the world
are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not 'Will robots
replace teachers?' but 'How can robots help teachers?' Office workers can use software to do things like
organise and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing nonteaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time
teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the
parts of the job humans do best.
Question 30: Anthony Seldon thinks teachers in the future will ______.
A. help robots in class

B. teach knowledge to students
C. no longer exist
D. have robots do non-teaching work

Page 2/4 – Code 108


Question 31: The word ‘they” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. students’ faces
B. students’ movements
C. brain signals
D. intelligent robots
Question 32: According to paragraph 4, teachers ______.
A. work harder than office workers
B. have less help than office workers
C. leave their jobs to become office workers
D. don’t want to mark homework
Question 33: Which of the following statements about robots is TRUE?
A. Robots are always better at diagnosing illness than doctors.
B. Many experts agree robots will replace teachers by 2027.
C. One advantage of robot teachers is that they don’t need to rest.
D. Robots assistants helped teachers by marking homework and writing reports.
Choose the sentence that is closest in meaning to the sentence given.
Question 34: “Shall I post the letter for you?”, he said.
A. He asked me if I would post the letter for him.
B. He offered to post the letter for me.
C. He said I should post the letter myself.
D. I wanted him to post the letter for me.
Question 35: He was disabled but he enjoyed life very much.
A. Although he enjoyed life very much, he was disabled.

B. Being disabled prevented him from enjoying life very much.
C. He enjoyed life very much due to the fact that he was disabled.
D. In spite of his disability, he enjoyed life very much.
Question 36: If you get a better education, there will be more opportunities for you to get a good job.
A. The better education you get, there will be more opportunities for you to get a good job.
B. The better education you get, the more opportunities there will be for you to get a good job.
C. The best education you get, the best opportunities you get a good job.
D. Better education means better jobs you will have.

Question 37: She lost the race. She didn’t realize the importance of careful preparation.
A. She lost the race although she didn’t realize the importance of careful preparation.
B. Losing the race, she realized the importance of careful preparation.
C. She lost the race because she didn’t realize the importance of careful preparation.
D. If she realized the importance of careful preparation, she wouldn’t lose the race.
Question 38: Mike was interested in improving his management skills. He becomes so successful now.
A. If Mike hadn’t been interested in improving his management skills, he wouldn’t become so
successful now.
B. Unless Mike had been interested in improving his management skills, he wouldn’t have become
so successful now.
C. Mike was so interested in improving his management skills that he became so successful now.
D. If Mike weren’t interested in improving his management skills, he wouldn’t become so
successful now.
Read the passage and choose the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
When you're interviewing for a job, the little things can make a big difference. Even a small (39)
______ can cost you a job offer. Take the time to prepare so you can make the best possible impression at
every job interview you go on.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Life improves when you decide to do things differently. In this case, the goal is to gain control over
time, rather than letting it control you. The main objective of time management is for you to have a clear
picture of your upcoming days, weeks, and months. It is a way for you to discover what time you have
available to devote to study, recreation, or other activities. Make the decision to be the master of your life,
rather than its suffering slave!
The objective of time management is to allocate time wisely, so you can achieve your goals. If you
wanted to be an Olympic swimmer or ice skater, you would have to practice several hours a day for years. In
the same way, to be a top student you must have a good idea of the study requirements. Even though each
subject places different demands on you – by prioritizing, you will increase your chances of success. For
each subject, decide how to complete all required tasks, over a weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. This
advance planning will increase your awareness, making it less likely for you to squander time away
meaninglessly.
After establishing your priorities, set up a schedule which respects your priorities. A wide variety
of student organizers, diaries, planners, electronic tools and time management systems are available on the
market. Choose or create whatever seems best for you. Many students select weekly planners that enable
them to see the big picture more easily. Make sure your system is something you are very comfortable with

as you will be referring to it often. Then, set up your schedule in this order.
In addition to your weekly planner, invest in a large monthly wall calendar. Jot down all the
important due dates, deadlines, exams, etc. so they are in front of you as a visual reminder. This will make
you more aware of important dates and allow you to adjust or rearrange plans if you are behind schedule.
Question 44: What is the passage mainly about?
A. Ways for learners to manage time effectively
B. Ways for students to improve their life
C. How to set up a schedule
D. How to be successful students
Question 45: According to paragraph 1, it’s important that you ______.
A. save a lot of time
B. improve your life
C. organize your time
D. do different things
Question 46: Which of the following best replaces the word “squander” in paragraph 2?
A. save
B. keep
C. take
D. waste
Question 47: According to paragraph 2, what is the key for students to succeed in study?
A. Complete a few tasks
B. Having good ideas
C. Being demanding
D. Setting priorities
Question 48: The word ‘them’ in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. planners
B. systems
C. students
D. priorities
Question 49: What is NOT mentioned in paragraph 3 as a tool to help with making a timetable?

A. stop watches
B. student organizers
C. diaries and planners
D. time management systems
Question 50: As in paragraph 4, what is a wall calendar regarded as?

Read the passage and choose the best answer
War is frightening, and cruel, especially for soldiers. One woman set out to help as many
soldiers as she could during the Civil War, even on the front lines of the battlefield! Her name was
Clara Barton.
Clara Barton was born in Oxford, Massachusetts in 1821. Her interest in helping soldiers on the
battlefield began when she was told army stories from her father. Another event that influenced her
decision to help soldiers was an accident her brother had. His injuries were cared for by Barton for
2 years. At the time, she was only 11 years old. Barton began teaching school at the age of 15. She
taught for 18 years before she moved to Washington, D.C in 1854.
The Civil War broke out 6 years later. Immediately, Barton started war service by helping the
soldiers with their needs. At the battle of Bull Run, Clara Barton received permission from the
government to take care of the sick and hurt. She cared for soldiers not just in hospitals, but on the
actual battlefields, putting herself in danger. One time she was caring for a soldier when a bullet
went right through her sleeve! She was very lucky not to get hurt. The soldiers were glad to see her,
though, and she became known as the "Angel of the Battlefield." When the war ended in 1865, she
used 4 years of her life to assist the government in searching for soldiers who were missing during
the war.

The search for missing soldiers and years of hard work made her feeble physically. In 1869, her
doctors recommended a trip to Europe for a rest. While in Europe, Clara learned about the
International Red Cross organization. Its mission to help war victims around the world ignited
interest and excitement in Clara. She wanted to bring the Red Cross to America, so that she could
continue to help as many people as possible. She returned to the United States of America, and in
1881, the American Red Cross began, with Clara as the president of the organization. She managed

its activities until 1904, but continued to help people by teaching first aid strategies and ways to be
prepared for emergencies, so more people could help others.
Clara Barton died in 1912. She was a hero to many people because she was brave on the
battlefield, helped people of all kinds, and began an organization that still helps people today.
