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.
Global sea level has been rising over the past century, and the rate has increased in
recent decades. In 2014, global sea level was 2.6 inches above the 1993 average - the highest
annual average in the satellite record (1993-present). Sea level continues to rise at a rate
of about one-eighth of an inch per year.
Higher sea levels mean that deadly and destructive storm surges push farther inland
than they once did, which also means more frequent nuisance flooding. Disruptive and
expensive, nuisance flooding is estimated to be from 300 percent to 900 percent more frequent
within U.S. coastal communities than it was just 50 years ago.

The two major causes of global sea level rise are thermal expansion caused by
warming of the ocean since water expands as it warms and increased melting of land-based
ice, such as glaciers and ice sheets. The oceans are absorbing more than 90 percent of the
increased atmospheric heat associated with emissions from human activity.
With continued ocean and atmospheric warming, sea levels will likely rise for many
centuries at rates higher than those of the current century. In the United States, almost 40
percent of the population lives in relatively high-population-density coastal areas, where sea
level plays a part in flooding, shoreline erosion, and hazards from storms. Globally, eight of
the world's 10 largest cities are near a coast, according to the U.N. Atlas of the Oceans.
Question 31: Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. Sea level within U.S. coastal communities
B. Sea level and emissions from human activity
C. An increasing rate of sea level rise
D. Sea level and its effects on the world’s 10 largest cities
Question 32: The word “deadly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______.
A. huge

B. toxic

C. fast

D. lethal

Question 33: The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to______.
A. water

B. sea level

C. ocean

D. ice

Question 34: Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the
last paragraph?
A. Sea levels will likely rise for many centuries at rates of the current
century.
B. Nearly 40 percent of the population of the U.S lives in densely
populated coastal areas.
C. Sea level has no relation to flooding, shoreline erosion, and hazards from
storms.
D. Sea level rise will only affect the world’s largest cities near the coast.

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 36 to 42.
Developing a vaccine to Sars-CoV-2 is seen as the fast way to a return to normal life.
That’s why the health secretary, Matt Hancock, said the UK was “throwing everything at it”.
However, while trials have been launched, ministers and their advisers have become
noticeably more cautious in recent days. Earlier this week, England’s deputy chief medical
officer said the words nobody wanted to hear: “We can’t be sure we will get a vaccine.”
More than 30 years after scientists isolated HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, we have
no vaccine. The dengue fever virus was identified in 1943, but the first vaccine
was approved only last year. The fastest vaccine ever developed was for mumps. It took four
years. Scientists have worked on coronavirus vaccines before, so they are not starting from
scratch. Two coronaviruses have caused deadly outbreaks before, namely SARS and MERS,
and vaccine research went ahead for both. However, none has been licensed, partly because
SARS fizzled out and MERS is regional to the Middle East. The lessons learned will help
scientists create a vaccine for Sars-CoV-2, but there is still an awful lot to learn about the
virus.
A chief concern is that coronaviruses do not tend to trigger long-lasting immunity.
About a quarter of common colds are caused by human coronaviruses, but the immune
response fades so rapidly that people can become reinfected the next year. Last week,
scientists at Rockefeller University in New York found that most people who recovered
from COVID-19 without going into hospital did not make many killer antibodies against the
virus. “That’s what is particularly challenging,” says Stanley Perlman, a veteran coronavirus
researcher at the University of Iowa. If a vaccine only protects for a year, the virus will be
with us for some time.

The genetic stability of the virus matters too. The rapid evolution of HIV is a major
reason we have no vaccine for the disease. So far, the Sars-CoV-2 coronavirus seems fairly

stable, but it is acquiring mutations, as all viruses do. Martin Hibberd, professor of
emerging infectious diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine,
called them “an early warning”.

D. Factors affecting Coronavirus Evolution

mumps in paragraph 2?
A. To explain that it takes a long time to develop a vaccine
B. To show that Coronavirus is more dangerous than other viruses
C. To prove that all types of diseases have had their own vaccines
D. To show that scientists have worked hard to develop vaccines for over 30 years
