Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions
People commonly complain that they never have enough time to accomplish tasks. The hours and minutes seem to
slip away before many planned chores get done. According to time management experts, the main reason for this is
that most people fail to set priorities about what to do first. They get tied down by trivial, time-consuming matters
and never complete the important ones.
One simple solution often used by those at the top is to keep lists of tasks to be accomplished daily. These lists order
jobs from most essential to least essential and are checked regularly through the day to access progress. Not only is
this an effective Way to manage time, but also it serves to give individuals a much- deserved sense of satisfaction
over their achievements. People who do not keep lists often face the end of the work day with uncertainty over the
significance of their accomplishments, which over time can contribute to serious problems in mental and physical
health

Read the following passage and Choose the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
A radio telescope is a radio receiver that "sees" radio waves. Unlike a normal telescope, which sees light, a radio
telescope is used primarily in the area of astronomy because it can detect radio waves that are emitted by celestial
objects. Such objects in space, also called radio objects, can be things such as hot gas, electrons, and wavelengths
given off by different atoms and molecules.


The first radio telescope was invented by Grote Reber in 1937. He was an American who graduated with a degree in
engineering. He went on to work as an amateur radio operator and later decided to try to build his own radio

telescope in his backyard. Reber's first two radio receivers failed to pick up any signals from outer space, but in
1938, his third radio telescope successfully picked up radio waves from space.
A radio telescope consists of a large parabolic-shaped dish antenna or a combination of two or more. The
significance of the parabolic shape allows for the incoming radio waves to be concentrated on one focal point,
allowing the signals to be picked up as strongly as possible. A larger dish means that more signals can be received
and focalized.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the largest radio telescope of the time was invented with a seventy-six-meter
telescope although larger telescopes have been made since then. The largest current radio telescope in the world is
the RATAN-600 in Russia, whose diameter is 576 meters. It has provided valuable feedback of the sun's radio
wavelengths and atmosphere. The largest radio telescope in Europe is a 100-meter diameter telescope in Germany,
and the largest radio telescope in the United States is the Big Ear in the state of Ohio. The largest array of telescopes
is the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope in India.
Radio telescopes have provided scientists with valuable information about our universe. One of the most important
functions of radio telescopes is their ability to allow scientists to track different space probes, the unmanned space
missions in outer space. Radio telescopes allow for the travel of space probes into places like the surface of Mars
that are too dangerous for men to explore. Without radio wave technology, scientists would not know much of what
inhabits the universe nor would they be able to see it. Radio waves are our eyes and ears in outer space.
Question 36: According to the passage, a radio telescope enables the detection of ______.
A. creatures that inhabit celestial objects
B. shapes and sizes of celestial objects
C. normal light of celestial objects
D. radio waves sent out by celestial objects

A. he picked up signals from outer space
B. he graduated from an engineering school

C. he experimented on the third one
D. he first built one in his backyard

A. send

C. The pattern of radio waves received by radio telescopes is significant.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions

A leading question among anthropologists is: what exactly led to the development of human cities?
Basically, modern humans have existed on earth for over 100,000 years. Yet it is only in the last 8,000 years that
they have begun to gather in significant numbers and form cities. Prior to that period, humans existed in small
family or tribal groups, generally consisting of fewer than 100 individuals. What, then, led humans to make the
dramatic shift from living in small groups to living in large, organized cities? It seems that the development of cities
required a particular set of circumstances.
First, it required a minimum population density. For much of their early history, humans existed only
in small numbers. This is due to the fact that early humans relied on hunting and gathering wild foods for their
survival. Even the most fertile land would only support a relatively small number of predators, so it was not until
humans began to practice agriculture that they were able to gather in large enough numbers to form cities.
Furthermore, the development of a city could only be possible if a large number of people shared a
common language, culture and religion. Without such unifying factors, a cooperative, peaceful existence among
large numbers of people would have been impossible.
Finally, it seems that early humans needed to be faced with a large problem, which one small group of
individuals could not solve on its own. Only when large-scale cooperation was needed to overcome a


problem would humans come together to form cities.
Question 31: What is the passage mainly about?
A. Factors bringing about the development of human cities
B. How population density affects the development of human cities
C. Why a shared language makes a peaceful human city
D. Problems solved by cooperation of a large group
Question 32: The word "circumstances" in paragraph 1 mostly means ______.
A. conditions
B. preparations
C. examples
D. events
Question 33: The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. predators

B. humans
C. cities
D. foods
Question 34: Which of the following enabled people to live together in peace?
A. A large area of fertile land
B. A shared belief and value
C. A large and complicated problem
D. A group with a minimal number of members
Question 35: Which of the following is NOT needed for the development of a city?
A. a shared culture
B. people’s gathering
C. peaceful existence
D. large-scale collaboration
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
In America, when dining, people consider it rude for a guest or dining partner to belch or burp, eat with an open
mouth, smack, or lick your fingers. Napkins, generally provided are available at every meal and should be placed in
one's lap and then used throughout the meal to clean one's fingers and mouth.
It is acceptable to refuse additional servings of food by saying "No, thank you" and the host or hostess will not be
insulted if you do so. Similarly, if you leave a small amount of uneaten food on your plate at a restaurant or in a
home, it is not considered an insult. If you eat everything on the plate, a host or hostess may possibly feel that they
have not prepared enough food and might be embarrassed. People in the United States serve and eat food with either
hand, but never take food from a communal serving dish with their hands. Generally, a serving utensil is used.
Americans typically use forks, spoons and knives to eat, but there are some types of foods that are acceptable to eat
with one's fingers, like sandwiches or pizza. When in doubt, look to see what others are doing. In formal dining
situations, if you wonder whether or not it is acceptable to begin eating, you should wait until the oldest woman (or
oldest man if no women are present) begins to eat. When eating, do not pick up the bowl or plate from the table to
hold underneath your mouth. Even noodles, soup, and rice are eaten with the plate or bowl remaining on the table.
When consuming soup and hot liquids, it is considered impolite to slurp - do not do this. When consuming noodles,
twirl them around your fork and then put it in your mouth.
If you are a man taking out a woman for dinner, you are almost always expected to pay. This is for the woman to

gauge your intentions and interest with her. For example, taking a woman for coffee, versus tacos, versus a fancy
dinner, versus for drinks at 11:30 pm, all signal many different things to them. So, the date is a "test" of many.
Paying is just as important as where you take her, and how late. So, don't assume she is just trying to get a "free
meal". Most girls aren't. Also, if you are going out with a friend to eat, almost always, the bill is expected to be split
in half, or each person pays for themselves.
If you are eating in a restaurant, you will be expected to add a 15 to 20 % tip for the server to your bill. In America,
wait staff might occasionally stop by your table to ask how your meal is, which is considered good service. They
will also bring you your check when it seems reasonable that you are finished with your meal, however, this is not
necessarily an indication that you must leave right away (Do not be too embarrassed to ask for the check either:
waiters and waitresses cannot read minds.) Take your time to finish your meal, and unless there is a line of people
waiting at the door, it is not considered rude to linger at your table for as long as you like.

numbered blanks
Every industrial revolution brought with it benefits and challenges to the socioeconomic status of the countries that
have engaged in such transformation. For instance, Great Britain led the first industrial revolution with the invention
of the commercial steam engine, which revolutionized communication and transportation and led to many
___(26)___ industrial developments. In the second industrial revolution, the United States was primarily in the lead,
with the telephone revolutionizing communication this time. In the third industrial revolution, the Internet was the
key factor and succeeded because it was conceived as a public infrastructure technology rather a proprietary
technology.
The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) is not an exception to the ___(27)___ eras of industries, but it is
expected to bring immense benefits and many challenges.___(28)___ , the main challenge that most stakeholders
are concerned with is the cybersecurity risk given that the IoT is the backbone of Industry 4.0, ___(29)___ has the
potential to enlarge the level risk exponentially from where we are today. Moreover, the rate of the technological
development in Industry 4.0 is exponential and, therefore, anticipating the challenges and even the benefits is much
more difficult than what the world experienced in the previous industrial revolutions. This increased difficulty is due
to the high convergence of technologies that could complement or compete with different possible diffusion

___(30)__ that may result in more frequent breakthroughs that are difficult to forecast. Hence, the policy and
regulation due to the speed of progress may lack a remedy for any unexpected consequences or developments if the
policy resolutions remain non-global and reactive.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Since the early eighties, we have been only too aware of the devastating effects of large-scale enviromental
pollution. Such pollution is generally the result of poor government planning in many developing nations or the
short-sighted, selfish policies of the already industrialized countries which, encourage a minority of the world's
population to squander the majority of its natural resources.
While events such as the deforestation of the Amazon jungle or the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl continue to receive
high media exposure, as do acts of environmental sabotage, it must be remembered that not all pollution is on this
grand scale. A large proportion of the world's pollution has its source much closer to home. The recent spillage of
crude oil from an oil tanker accidentally discharging its cargo straight into Sydney Harbour not only caused serious

damage to the harbour foreshores but also created severely toxic fumes which hung over the suburbs for days and
left the angry residents wondering how such a disaster could have been allowed to happen.
Avoiding pollution can be a full-time job. Try not to inhale traffic fumes; keep away from Chemical plants and
building-sites; wear a mask when cycling. It is enough to make you want to stay at home. But that, according to a
growing body of scientific evidence, would also be a bad idea. Research shows that levels of pollutants such as
hazardous gases, particulate matter and other chemical 'nasties' are usually higher indoors than out, even in the
most polluted cities. Since the average American spends 18 hours indoors for every hour outside, it looks as though
many environmentalists may be attacking the wrong target.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions
In December 2019, a number of pneumonia cases were reported in Wuhan, eastern China. The pneumonia is
associated with a new type of coronavirus. This virus has now spread to other cities in China. There have also been
cases in other countries around the world.
Coronaviruses get their names because they look like crowns under the microscope. This group of viruses cause
disease in humans and other animals, including pigs and chickens.
It is thought that the new coronavirus outbreak started in a market in Wuhan, which sold meat and live animals.
Scientists say that the virus is not closely related to any human virus currently known.
The World Health Organization has told countries around the world to track respiratory infections in their
populations. There is currently no vaccination against the corona virus.
The Wuhan coronavirus outbreak is similar to the 2002-03 epidemic of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome)
coronavirus. This outbreak, which started in south China, lasted for over nine months. It spread to 37 countries,
causing 8,098 people to become ill and 774 to die. Nearly 10% of people who were infected with SARS died. The
deadly nature of the disease, the frequent human-to-human spread, and infection of hospital staff contributed to the
seriousness of the outbreak.
SARS was traced to several types of wild animals, which were sold as food in markets. The infected animals had no
symptoms. The outbreak was stopped by closing markets and killing animals, and by treating and isolating patients.
SARS has not been seen since 2003 and it is thought that the virus has now disappeared. The new Wuhan
coronavirus is similar to viruses related to SARS which are found in bats.
There are seven coronaviruses known to infect people, including the new Wuhan coronavirus and SARS. Other
human coronaviruses are those that cause the common cold, as well as the deadly MERS virus. MERS is a common
cold virus that often jumps from camels to humans in the Middle East. It can cause severe pneumonia in people and
spread from person to person. MERS was identified in 2012 and continues to be a significant problem in the Middle
East. Nearly 2,500 cases of MERS have been identified, causing 858 deaths.
Coronaviruses appear to jump easily between species, and the Wuhan virus could be the third time this has
happened with humans in the last 20 years. In 2016, another coronavirus was responsible for 24,000 pig deaths in

southern China. This particular virus jumped from bats to pigs but did not spread to humans.


How the new Wuhan coronavirus came to be in humans, and how closely it will resemble the SARS outbreak, will
be a focus of ongoing research. Outbreaks of new viruses, such as the Wuhan coronavirus, are a reminder of the
need to invest in research in virus biology and evolution, how viruses infect and interact with human cells, and most
importantly, to identify safe and effective drugs to treat –or vaccines to prevent –serious disease.

Despite these drawbacks, (26) ______the retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key
solutions to the ageing population problem in Vietnam, But these are only temporary solutions. Complementary
long-term solutions such as increasing labor productivity must also be examined.

As Vietnam has specialized in manufacturing with its competitive advantage of a cheap labor force in the global
supply chain, (27)______higher education should be reoriented to focus more on vocational training rather than
university degrees. The Vietnamese government has already taken action by simplifying the entrance exam to
university. Previously, Vietnam's national entrance exam was very difficult and only a limited number of the most
talented citizens managed to enter universities.
However, as living standards in Vietnam improve and more families can afford to send their children to university,
universities have become more commercialized and entering university is no longer a rare achievement. The low
quality of Vietnamese universities also means the majority of graduating students are unable to find an appropriate
job. By simplifying entrance exams to deemphasize university degrees, the government has encouraged students to
opt for vocational training. (28)_______, 2016 saw a remarkable decrease in the number of students applying (29)
______university.
Another supplementary policy is to have productivity-based rather than seniority-based salaries, (29) __(30)_____
are common in Asian countries. This would address public concern about aged seniors doing less work for more pay
than younger employees. Companies and government agencies would employ and appreciate the young while
benefiting from the experience of the old. But this issue feeds the Communist regime's dilemma between adhering
to Communist principles and integrating into the capitalist culture of productivity for profits.

A report from the United Nations given at the conference unveils how worrying the pollution caused by plastic
utensils, especially plastic bags, is becoming. In a single minute, the world consumes one million plastic bottles; in a
year, the world consumes five billion single-use plastic bags, according to Vietnamplus. The scary fact is that such
plastic bottles and bags are not properly treated, as each year, the world discharges 300 million tons of plastic waste,
accounting for some 10% of all solid waste, putting the environment and human health under tenterhooks,
according to the news site.
The conference also drew attention to another fact: “For a plastic bag that can be used for five minutes, it takes five
seconds to produce, one second to discard, but 500 to 1,000 years to become totally decomposed,” says
Vietnamplus.
In another message given by the UN General Secretary and delivered at the conference, it is reported that since
more than eight million tons of plastic bags end up in the oceans each year, “microplastics in the seas now


outnumber stars in our galaxy.” “If present trends continue, by 2050 our oceans will have more plastic than fish,”
Dan Tri reports, quoting Caitlin Wiesen, country director of the UN Development Programme in Vietnam.
These above-mentioned fearful facts, however, are not merely global issues, but domestic problems as well,
according to local media. Many local news outlets, when relating data from the conference, point out that white

pollution – a term used to indicate the overwhelming discharge of plastic bags into the environment – is even getting
worse in Vietnam than elsewhere.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
More often than not, you can't just "order up a job" by responding to an online posting and have it delivered in one

or two days as if you were buying whatever your heart desires on Amazon. Even as employers are hiring at a higher
rate than they have in the last several years, it can often take months to work your way through the job search
process. If you are a new graduate yet to receive a job offer, if you recently moved to a new locale with your spouse
or partner or if you are unemployed for any other reason, you may find success in your job search by spending time
volunteering at a nonprofit organization.
Both the nonprofit and for-profit worlds need people with many of the same talents. The best volunteer jobs for you
to consider are ones where the experience you acquire will be applicable in the "for-pay" position you want to
attain. It's often the case that once you display your passion for the organization and its mission, and have
demonstrated your abilities, you'll earn strong consideration when a paying position opens up that can benefit from
your talents. Even if you don't have a path to employment at the place you volunteer, by highlighting your volunteer
experience on your resume, you can demonstrate that you haven't been wasting your time away staying at home
watching the grass grow.
There are a few strategies you might adopt when considering at which organization you'll want to volunteer. You'll
probably want to make a priority of volunteering to do what you've already done, or want to do, in the for-profit
sector. Alternatively, however, it might make sense to volunteer to do something where you can turn an area of
professional weakness into a new strength. Remember, as well, that nonprofit organizations maintain strong
relationships with their corporate sponsors, and you might look for a volunteer position that would enable you to be
that nexus point between the two. And, especially if you are recently out of school, you should look for positions
that let you learn about an occupation, a field of interest or an industry.


As you try to determine what you want to volunteer to do, and where you want to do it, make three lists: your
marketable skills, the roles you seek and the kinds of charitable organizations you would want to support. For
example, perhaps your skills cluster around accounting, marketing or event planning. Think about how these might
come in handy for organizations that need financial help figuring out how to brand the organization to attract other
volunteers or donors or run anything from charitable golf tournaments to gala dinners.

Read the following passage and choose the answer to each of the question.
Many people sec large urban cities as a wonder of human imagination and creativity. They represent how far the
human population has come in terms of community development. Many positive things come from urbanization, but
there are also negatives. This article will discuss and present data on the implications of urbanization on the physical
health of humans living in these large urban areas.
As it would be expected, developing countries tend to see more negative physical health effects than modern
countries in regard to urbanization. One example of a developing country' experiencing these problems is China.
China is a country that in the past 30 40 years went from being an agrarian based society to a significant
industrialized country. This industrialization has in effect caused the need for more centralized cities, centralized
meaning having lots of jobs and living spaces within a close proximity. This is what is known as urbanization. In
most recent decades, since China's change to being more of an industrial based economy, the country has
experienced record high numbers of people migrating within its borders. In effect, the number of cities with over
500,000 people has more than doubled. These migrations arc typically of people from rural areas of China moving
to the new urban areas. Due to this large influx in the urban population, there arc many possibilities for health
challenges among these people.
One very common and fairly obvious negative aspect of highly congested urban areas is air pollution. Air pollution
is defined as any harmful substance being suspended in the air. This could include particulate matter, most
commonly attributed to industrial plants and refineries waste, or chemicals like CO2 or Methane (which arc also
products of plants and refineries as well as cars and other modes of transportation). Due to a vast number of people
in these urbanized cities, the air pollution is known to be very extreme. These conditions can lead to many different
health problems such as: Asthma, cardiovascular problems or disease, and different types of cancer (most
commonly lung cancer). When exposed to these conditions for a prolonged period of time, one can experience even
more detrimental health effects like: the acceleration of aging, loss of lung capacity and health, being more
susceptible to respiratory diseases, and a shortened life span.
Another way that urbanization affects the populations’ health is people’s change in diet. For instance, urban cities
tend to have lots of accessible, quick, and easy to get food. This food is also more than likely not as high quality as
well as contains a large amount of sodium and sugar. Because this food is so accessible, people tend to eat it more.

This increase in consumption of low quality food can then lead to diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, obesity, or
many other health conditions.
36. Which of the following could be served as the best title for the passage?
A. Urbanization - Pros and cons
B. Urbanization - How people's health is impacted?
C. Urban cities - The new opportunity for community development
D. Developing countries - The fastest urbanization

B. positive

40. The following are the air pollution sources mentioned in paragraph 3, EXCEPT____
A. industrial factories B. refineries waste
C. chemicals
D. sewage
41. Why are urban populations easy to get diseases from food, according to the last paragraph?
A. Because of the low quality and the high proportion of sodium and sugar in this food.
B. Because the way people get this food is rather accessible, quick and easy.
C. Because this food is so delicious that people have a tendency to cat more than normal.
D. Because of the change in people’s diet.

These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the children all
day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and cleaning
up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is going to do the housework now? Who
is going to take care of the children?
Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife agree
to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband always cooks
dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner
on other nights.
Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from
grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents are often too far away to help
in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. Ihe help may be a babysitter or a day-care
center. The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.
Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for. Many companies now let people
with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children. Some husbands may even
stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word: they are called
“househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands every year.


These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their children better,
and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage.
They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.
