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.

Cloud computing services are operated from giant datacentres around the world. AWS
divides this up by 'regions' and 'availability zones'. Each AWS region is a separate geographic
area, like EU (London) or US West (Oregon), which AWS then further subdivides into what it
calls availability zones (AZs). An AZ is composed of one or more datacentres that are far enough
apart that in theory a single disaster won't take both offline, but close enough together for business
continuity applications that require rapid failover. Each AZ has multiple internet connections and
power connections to multiple grids: AWS has over 50 AZs.
Google uses a similar model, dividing its cloud computing resources into regions which are
then subdivided into zones, which include one or more datacentres from which customers can run
their services. It currently has 15 regions made up of 44 zones: Google recommends customers
deploy applications across multiple zones and regions to help protect against unexpected failures.
Microsoft Azure divides its resources slightly differently. It offers regions which it describes
as is a "set of datacentres deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a
dedicated regional low-latency network". It also offers 'geographies' typically containing two or
more regions, that can be used by customers with specific data-residency and compliance needs
"to keep their data and apps close". It also offers availability zones made up of one or more data
centres equipped with independent power, cooling and networking.
Question 31: What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Separate AWS Region According to Geographic Areas
B. Cloud computing region and computing availability zone
C. Cloud computing resources of Google
D. How Microsoft Azure divides its resources
Question 32: According to paragraph 1, datacentres in an AZ are neither too far nor too near from
one another because ______.
A. they have to be able to avoid disaster and ensure rapid failover
B. they have multiple internet connections and power connections
C. they have multiple grids of AWS
D. they are divided into 'regions' and 'availability zones'
Question 33: The word “similar” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. available
B. capable
C. comparable
Question 34: The word “which” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. Microsoft Azure
B. resources
C. datacentres

D. remarkable
D. regions

Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature of
Microsoft Azure?
A. It offers availability zones made up of only one data centre.
B. It offers regions which it describes as is a set of datacentres.
C. Its datacentres are deployed within a latency-defined perimeter.
D. It offers geographies typically containing two or more regions.
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.
As Hubble orbits Earth, the Fine Guidance Sensors lock onto stars. The Fine Guidance
Sensors are part of the Pointing Control System and aim Hubble in the right direction. The
telescope can lock onto a target that is one mile away without moving more than the width of a
human hair.
Once the target is acquired, Hubble's primary mirror collects light. The mirror can collect
about 40,000 times more light than the human eye. The light bounces off the primary mirror to the
secondary mirror. The secondary mirror focuses the light back through a hole in the primary
mirror. From there, the light shines to Hubble's scientific instruments. Each instrument has a
different way of interpreting the light.
Hubble has five scientific instruments which include cameras and spectrographs. A

spectrograph is an instrument that splits light into its individual wavelengths.
The Wide Field Camera 3 is Hubble’s main camera. It studies everything from the formation
of distant galaxies to the planets in the solar system. The camera can see three different kinds of
light: near-ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared. But Hubble can only see each kind of light one at
a time. Human eyes can see visible light. Near-ultraviolet and near-infrared are just beyond what
our eyes can see.
The Advanced Camera for Surveys captures images of large areas of space. These images
have helped scientists study some of the earliest activity in the universe.
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph reads ultraviolet light. This spectrograph studies how
galaxies, stars and planets formed and changed.
The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph helps scientists determine the temperature,
chemical composition, density and motion of objects in space. It also has been used to detect black
holes.
The Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer, or NICMOS, sees objects in deep
space by sensing the heat they emit. It captures images and it is also a spectrograph. NICMOS
helps scientists study how stars, galaxies and planetary systems form.
Question 36: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. the Fine Guidance Sensors
B. Hubble's primary mirror
C. The Advanced Camera for Surveys
D. What Instruments Are on Hubble?
Question 37: The word “instruments” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

Question 38: In paragraph 2, the light shone to Hubble's scientific instruments will be ______.
A. interpreted by the instruments

B. targeted by Hubble's primary mirror
C. made visible to human eye
D. observed through a hole
Question 39: The word “distant” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. remote
B. sturdy
C. shadowy
D. awesome
Question 40: The word “It” in paragraph 7 refers to ______.
A. temperature
B. chemical composition
C. Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph
D. space
Question 41: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. A target can be locked onto one mile away by the telescope.
B. Light cannot be split into its individual wavelengths by a spectrograph.
C. Hubble can see each kind of light one at a time.
D. Images captured by the Advanced Camera for Surveys will be used to study activities in the universe.
Question 42: Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 7?
A. NICMOS can see objects in deep space by sensing the heat only.
B. NICMOS captures images like an ordinary camera.
C. The way stars, galaxies and planetary systems form can be studied with NICMOS.
D. NICMOS helps scientists reach stars and other galaxies earlier.

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.
Originally intended as a temporary exhibit, the Eiffel Tower was almost torn down and
scrapped in 1909. City officials opted to save it after recognizing its value as a radiotelegraph
station. Several years later, during World War I, the Eiffel Tower intercepted enemy radio
communications, relayed zeppelin alerts and was used to dispatch emergency troop
reinforcements. It escaped destruction a second time during World War II: Hitler initially ordered
the demolition of the city’s most cherished symbol, but the command was never carried out. Also
during the German occupation of Paris, French resistance fighters famously cut the Eiffel Tower’s
elevator cables so that the Nazis had to climb the stairs.
Over the years, the Eiffel Tower has been the site of numerous high-profile stunts,
ceremonial events and even scientific experiments. In 1911, for instance, the German physicist
Theodor Wulf used an electrometer to detect higher levels of radiation at its top than at its base,
observing the effects of what are now called cosmic rays. The Eiffel Tower has also inspired more
than 30 replicas and similar structures in various cities around the world.
Now one of the most recognizable structures on the planet, the Eiffel Tower, which is
repainted every seven years, underwent a major facelift in 1986. It welcomes more visitors than
any other paid monument in the world—an estimated 7 million people per year. Some 500
employees are responsible for its daily operations, working in its restaurants, manning its elevators,
ensuring its security and directing the eager crowds flocking the tower’s platforms to enjoy
panoramic views of the City of Lights.
Question 31: What could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Eiffel Tower Becomes a Permanent Feature of the Paris Skyline
B. The Eiffel Tower during World War I
C. The German Physicist Theodor Wulf and The Eiffel Tower
D. The Eiffel Tower and The Major Facelift in 1986
Question 32: According to paragraph 1, the Eiffel Tower was saved because ______.
A. it was a famous temporary exhibit
B. it was too dangerous to tear it down in 1909
C. it could absorb enemy radio communications

D. it could be used as a radiotelegraph station


Question 33: The word “which” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. planet
B. Eiffel Tower
C. seven years
D. major facelift
Question 34: The word “eager” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

happened to the Eiffel Tower?
A. During World War II, the Eiffel Tower was completely demolished by Hitler.
B. The Eiffel Tower’s elevator cables used to be cut.
C. An electrometer was installed on the tower to observe the effects of cosmic rays.
D. The tower underwent a major facelift in 1986.
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.
The goal of blockchain is to allow digital information to be recorded and distributed, but not
edited. Blockchain technology was first outlined in 1991 by Stuart Haber and W. Scott Stornetta,
two researchers who wanted to implement a system where document timestamps could not be
tampered with. But it wasn’t until almost two decades later, with the launch of Bitcoin in January
2009, that blockchain had its first real-world application.
The Bitcoin protocol is built on a blockchain. In a research paper introducing the digital
currency, Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, referred to it as “a new electronic
cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party.”
The key thing to understand here is that Bitcoin merely uses blockchain as a means to

transparently record a ledger of payments, but blockchain can, in theory, be used to immutably
record any number of data points. As discussed above, this could be in the form of transactions,
votes in an election, product inventories, state identifications, deeds to homes, and much more.
Currently, there is a vast variety of blockchain-based projects looking to implement
blockchain in ways to help society other than just recording transactions. One good example is
that of blockchain being used as a way to vote in democratic elections. The nature of blockchain’s
immutability means that fraudulent voting would become far more difficult to occur.
For example, a voting system could work such that each citizen of a country would be issued
a single cryptocurrency or token. Each candidate would then be given a specific wallet address,
and the voters would send their token or crypto to whichever candidate's address they wish to vote
for. The transparent and traceable nature of blockchain would eliminate the need for human vote
counting as well as the ability of bad actors to tamper with physical ballots.
Question 36: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Blockchain Technology
B. Bitcoin vs. Blockchain
C. Digital Currency
D. A Single Cryptocurrency
Question 37: The word “key” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. creative
B. artificial
C. dynamic
D. essential
Question 38: In paragraph 1, Blockchain technology was created in order to ______.
A. allow digital information to be recorded and distributed
B. edit the system of document recorded and distributed earlier
C. outline the launch of Bitcoin in January 2009


D. implement document timestamps that could not be tampered with
Question 39: The word “nature” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. presence
B. reference
C. essence
D. evidence
Question 40: The word “they” in paragraph 5 refers to ______.
A. voters
B. actors
C. ballots
D. citizens
Question 41: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Satoshi Nakamoto called Bitcoin a new electronic cash system.
B. Bitcoin uses blockchain as a means to transparently record payments.
C. Blockchain can be used as a way to vote in democratic elections.
D. Each citizen of a country would be issued a lot of cryptocurrencies.
Question 42: Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 5?
A. Blockchain would eliminate the need for human vote counting.
B. Candidate would be given a specific wallet to contain money.
C. Voters wouldn’t know for whom they should vote without blockchain.
D. Physical ballots would be more popular after the application of blockchain.

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.
When new copies of the viral genome are ready to leave the host cell, some viruses fuse the
infected cell with a neighbouring cell to allow faster spread. Other viruses condense their genome
inside a protective protein shell with the right receptors to get the new virus to the next cell. To
condense their genome, some herpesviruses and bacteriophages use a powerful molecular motor
that can build up a pressure of 50 atmospheres!
Ultimately, a virus may need to spread between organisms. It can then rely on the natural
behaviour of the host or a vector, such as a tick, or manipulate its host’s behaviour. The rabies
virus, for instance, uses a snake-venom-like compound that makes animals aggressive and froth at
the mouth with virus-laden saliva in order to increase the chance that a bite will spread the virus.
Similarly, some baculoviruses can turn caterpillars into ‘zombies’ that climb up to high leaves and
burst, spreading infectious virus particles to healthy caterpillars below.
Although viruses use their host, they are also incredibly useful. Molecular biology uses viral
enzymes to manipulate RNA and DNA. Moreover, we can now alter viral receptors to re-target
viruses to specific cells, such as cancerous cells. In addition, we can create attenuated viruses that
can only proliferate in cancer cells, which often lack antiviral sensors; we can lyse tumours and
keep healthy tissues, which are still able to control the infection, unharmed.

Viruses are masters at infecting cells, utilising life’s diverse abundance of molecules,
systems and behaviours for their propagation. By studying them, we are learning from their
expertise about ourselves and other organisms. This knowledge, combined with advances in other
scientific fields, is enabling us to re-engineer viruses for our own purposes. Viruses may not only
be the most abundant and diverse biological entities, but also some of the most useful.
Question 36: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Atomic Modelling and Structure

C. Vectors and Spread
D. Replication and Adaptation
Question 37: The word “It” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.

______.
A. increase the chance of spreading the virus B. rely on its host’s behaviour
C. spread between organisms
D. turn caterpillars into ‘zombies’

The Schengen Agreement is a treaty between European nations which eventually led to the
creation of a common travel area in which there are few internal border checks. The agreement
gets its name from the town of Schengen in Luxembourg, where it was signed by representatives
of five of the ten member states of the then European Economic Community (EEC). The agreement

proposed measures intended to gradually abolish border checks at the signatories' common
borders, including hugely reducing vehicle checks, freedom for citizens to cross borders, and the
harmonization of visa policies.
In 1990, the original agreement was supplemented by the Schengen Convention which
proposed the complete abolition of systematic internal border controls and a common visa policy.
This led to the creation of the Schengen Area in 1995. It operates very much like a single state for
international travel purposes, with external border controls imposed on travellers entering and
exiting the area, but with no internal border controls.
Originally, the Schengen treaties and the rules adopted under them were officially
independent from the EEC and its successor, the European Union (EU). In 1999, they were
incorporated into European Union law by the Treaty of Amsterdam, which codified Schengen into
EU law while providing opt-outs for Ireland and the U.K., with the latter since leaving the EU. EU
member states that don’t have an opt-out which have not already joined the Schengen Area are
legally obliged to do so when they meet technical requirements. Although it is linked to EU law,
several non-EU countries are included in the area, having signed up to the agreement.
Question 31: What could be the best title for the passage?
A. The Town of Schengen in Luxembourg
B. Abolition of Systematic Internal Border Controls
C. The EEC and Its Successor
D. What is the Schengen Agreement?


Question 32: According to paragraph 1, The Schengen Agreement was signed by the
representatives because ______.
A. the harmonization of visa policies couldn’t be achieved
B. they want to gradually abolish border checks
C. they want to reducing the number of vehicles
D. the number of citizens crossing borders must be controlled

system, extending the sun's magnetic field out more than 10 billion miles. Beyond that distance,
the solar wind gives way to the colder, dense material that drifts in between stars, forming a
boundary called the heliopause. So far, just two spacecraft—Voyager 1 and Voyager 2—have
crossed this cosmic threshold, which defines the start of interstellar space.
Every so often, a patch of particles will burst from the sun in a solar flare, which can disrupt
satellite communications and knock out power on Earth. Flares usually stem from the activity of
sunspots, cool regions of the photosphere that form and dissipate as the sun's internal magnetic
field shifts. Solar flares and sunspots obey a regular cycle, rising and falling in number every 11
years as the poles of the sun's magnetic field flip back and forth.
Sometimes, the sun will also launch huge bubbles of magnetized particles from its corona,
in events called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Some CMEs can grow as large as the sun itself
and fling as much as a billion tons of material in a given direction. As they rush from the sun,

CMEs can send huge shockwaves through the solar wind. If a CME collided with Earth, its
particles could pack enough power to fry electronics in orbit and on Earth's surface.
Like many energy sources, the sun will not last forever. It has already used up nearly half of
the hydrogen in its core. The sun will continue to burn through the hydrogen for another five billion
years or so, and then helium will become its primary fuel. At that point, the sun will expand to
about a hundred times its current size, swallowing Mercury and Venus—and maybe Earth. It will
burn as a red giant star for another billion years and then collapse into a white dwarf star.
