VI Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks
Trang 8Despite the wealth of information campaigns telling people about global warming and its causes, most people have yet to realize how severe the problem is Coming
climate changes could alter as (1) as one third of plant and animal habitats (2) the end of the 22nd century These changes could in (3) cause widespread extinctions among plant and animal (4) around the globe
Coastal and island habitats are perhaps in the greatest danger (5) they face the combined threats of warming oceans and rising sea (6) As habitats change, many animals will come (7) intense pressure to find more suitable homes for themselves Mass (8) of at least some animals are certainly to be expected, but the fact remains that many animals will simply not be able to move fast enough
Such dire predictions may sound alarmist, but they are based on the rather moderate estimate that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will double by 2100 Many scientists believe, however, that this figure is actually very conservative, and they claim that a tripling is (9) more realistic If they are (10) , the effects on nature will be even more dramatic

VII Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Trang 9The greenhouse effect is always reported as being a negative consequence of current human lifestyle practices However there certainly have been numerous suggestions of positive consequences of the greenhouse effect
A slight temperature increase in some of the colder parts of the world may improve conditions for agriculture and changing rainfall patterns may favor some species over others However, they do not balance with overall negative impacts The social, economic and ecological disorders brought about by such climatic changes worldwide are projected
to greatly outweigh regional benefits
The impacts of global warming and climate change could become a source of
increased tension between nations and regions While the developed, industrialized world
is responsible for 75% of all CO2 emissions, these impacts will most likely hit hardest upon the poorer, underdeveloped parts of the world For example, as sea levels rise
countries like Bangladesh will suffer much more from the loss of valuable and populated lands than European or North American countries, even though they have emitted only a
tiny fraction of the greenhouse gases
The effect of drowning coastlines could lead to hundreds of millions of climate
refugees Where will these refugees go? How will they be cared for? Undoubtedly, such a disaster will seriously worsen the already critical refugee problem in the world A severe disorder of the world's food supplies through floods, droughts, crop failures and diseases brought about by climate change would lead to famines, wars and civil disorder in many countries
1 Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A Greenhouse effect brings us more benefits than negative impacts
B Greenhouse effect brings us more negative impacts than benefits
C Current reports on the greenhouse effect are not accurate
D Reports should focus on suggestions of positions consequences of the greenhouse
effect
2 Which of the following will suffer most from the impacts of climate change?

A The developed countries are a source of disasters upon the underdeveloped
countries
B The developed countries head lots of climate refugees to the underdeveloped
countries
C The developed countries will suffer more than the underdeveloped countries
D The European or North American countries will lose more valuable and populated
lands

5 According to the passage, climate change will result in all of the following EXCEPT
A coastline disorder B refugee problem
VIII Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
El Nino and La Nina
Typically, Pacific trade winds blow from east to west, transporting warm surface waters westward, east of Indonesia and northeast of Australia Thus, the water maintains
a cold temperature for much of the year This is achieved by an upwelling of cold deep
ocean-water, which benefits fisheries in the Pacific Ocean lying near the equator
However, these trade winds sometimes lose or gain strength in the Northern Hemisphere This leads to an effect known as the Southern Oscillation which refers to the two
recurring weather patterns of El Nino and La Nina
El Nino, meaning the "boy," is the phenomenon that results in the temperature of the sea surface off the coast of Peru increasing This condition typically lasts for at least six months Thus, there is a reduction in dissolved oxygen in the ocean so marine life
Trang 11declines devastating fisheries It also fuels major differences in air pressure near the
Pacific Ocean, which in turn leads to more severe weather events including droughts, increased precipitation, flooding, and even cyclonic storms like hurricanes Usually, the eastern Pacific region has an upswing in heavy rains to cause flooding, and in contrast, Australia and Indonesia have droughts, often with accompanying forest fires These two opposing weather events hurt agriculture For instance, the 1982 — 1983 El Nino,
recognized as the worst weather event of the century, hit hard in the U.S by dropping huge amounts of rainfall on the southern California coast, which resulted in millions of dollars of damage while necessitating the evacuation of 10,000 people
El Nino counterpart, La Nina, meaning "the girl," contrastingly forms when Pacific trade winds grow more powerful than usual It is the result of the cooler-than-average temperatures of South American equatorial surface waters which cause global cooling La Nina's duration usually lasts for 9 to 12 months and although forming in the Pacific
region, it can wreak havoc across large swaths of the world During the winter months,
the western Pacific areas including Australia, Malaysia, and the Philippines have much greater rainfall Conversely, unusually dry conditions settle in over North America's Gulf Coast and large sections of South and Central America as well Additionally, in the
Canadian and American West, there is a cooling effect
By studying the patterns of the El Nino and La Nina cycles, meteorologists have
come to better understand their impacts on global weather phenomena They are thus
better able to make predictions especially in terms of not only the strength of each stage, but also when either will fizzle out or begin again, allowing governments to better
prepare for floods and droughts which come with each cycle and to prevent billions of dollars in losses and damage Thereby, the areas under their influence need accurate forecasts to reduce the wide-reaching effects these phenomena have across many facets
of both the environment and the economy

4 The word "fuels" in the passage is closest in meaning to
A decreases B increases C supplies D distinguishes
5 It is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2 that
A one El Nino event can be expected to last at least half a year
B Pacific trade winds that cause El Nino are weaker than ones that cause La Nina
C El Nino is caused by a rise in water temperatures off Peru's shores
D marine life is affected by lowered oceanic oxygen levels

A bring benefits B blow winds C release heat D cause damage
7 The word "They" in the passage refers to
A the El Nino and La Nina cycles B meteorologists
C global weather phenomena D governments
8 The main purpose in paragraph 4 is to
A show the detrimental effects the El Nino and La Nina cycles have on the art of
weather prediction
B refute the idea that predictions are far too costly given their limited applications
Trang 13C demonstrate the importance of predicting the patterns of the Southern Oscillation
D emphasize the excellence of the current scientific technology used in prediction
9 According to the passage, all of the following are mentioned EXCEPT
A the equatorial region in the Pacific Ocean in which the circulation of cold water
mostly occurs
B meteorologists' capability to forecast the strength of cyclonic storms
C Malaysia's higher levels of precipitation in winter when there is a La Nina
D experts' prediction power to state when each cycle of El Nino and La Nina will start
and stop
10 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A More government money will be spent on technology to better predict the
phenomena and save money in the long run
B Global warming will change the patterns of El Nino and La Nina in a few years
C Countries whose economy is largely dependent upon fishing would place a higher
value on prediction than countries which rely primarily upon agriculture
D The government of Peru pays more attention to monitoring ocean temperatures than
other countries do

Harvard University, today recognized as part of the top echelon of the world’s
universities, came from very inauspicious and humble beginnings
This oldest of American universities was founded in 1636, just 16 years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Included in the Puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony during this period were more than 100 graduates of England’s prestigious Oxford and Cambridge Universities, and these university graduates in the New World were
determined that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that they
themselves had had Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher learning, the General Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early the following year decided on a parcel of land for the school; this land was in an area called Newetowne, which was later renamed Cambridge after its
English cousin and is the site of the present-day university
When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town
of Charlestowne, died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700
pounds to the fledgling college In spite of the fact that only half of the bequest was
actually paid, the General Court named the college after the minister in appreciation for what he had done The amount of the bequest may not have been large, particularly by today’s standards, but it was more than the General Court had found it necessary to appropriate in order to open the college
Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it should be noted that in addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty, with an entering freshman class of four students Although the staff did expand somewhat, for the

In 1959, the government of Egypt was working on a plan to build a dam on the River Nile It was called the Aswan Dam, and it was intended to generate electricity and allow the river water to be used for agriculture There was one big problem with the plan, though The dam would flood a nearby valley that contained ancient Egyptian treasures, including two enormous stone temples
It can be difficult for governments to choose culture and history over economics However, if countries always made decisions like this, the majority of the world's ancient sites would end up being destroyed Luckily, UNESCO stepped in They formed a
committee that tried to convince Egypt to protect its ancient treasures With support from many countries, they were finally successful The huge temples were carefully removed from their original site and moved to a safe location so that the dam could be built

VIII Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Welcome to Trang An, Vietnam’s newest UNESCO World Heritage Site, a place where the water is crystal clear and pink flowers bloom along the shallows Temples rest
on a precipice of rock and water Here, for 30,000 years, people have lived amongst these limestone giants To the unfamiliar, this area is a maze of confusing waterways and
impassable hills, a place where one could easily disappear from the world However, to the emperors of the 10th and 11th centuries, this was the ideal setting for a capital city
where the inhabitants could be controlled and enemies rebuffed
This combination of stunning natural beauty and ancient history has led Trang An to
be recognised as Vietnam’s eighth World Heritage Site Unlike the previous seven, Trang
An is notable for being the only UNESCO site in Vietnam to be classified for both its cultural beauty and natural integrity
At the ticket office, we are met by the sight of thousands of wooden boats bobbing
along the shoreline Stepping gingerly into the closest dinghy, we are greeted by a young
woman whose ability to paddle three adults - all in the midst of Christmas feasting - for three straight hours left me in awe of her strength What followed was a string of
beautiful caves of varying heights and lengths, interspersed with scenes of a peaceful
beauty that can be hard to come by in Vietnam
Dubbed ‘Ha Long Bay on land’, Trang An’s landscape is reminiscent of its coastal World Heritage neighbour Dominated by similar karst geography, Ha Long Bay and Trang An both provide a stunning backdrop to a tranquil boat cruise Unlike Ha Long, however, the boats at Trang An are small, seating no more than five adults, and weekday crowds are minimal We emerged from a particularly low cave opening and into a small cove ringed by flowering reeds and waterlilies The steep limestone cliffs block all
outside sounds Underwater reeds stand tall in the clear water beneath our boat, their green spongy limbs waving gently in the current as we paddle past Brown-and-gold fish dart between grass, their scales glinting in the sunlight, before plunging into the shadows
of the towering hills above Water movement is imperceptible, with the steep hillsides, plunging valleys and clear sky mirrored in its glassy surface It is as though a parallel world of deep crevices and underwater mountains exists just below our feet
A parallel world does, in fact, describe how it seemed as we floated through the caves
of Trang An The journey through the first hollow felt like stepping through the back of
Trang 38the wardrobe and entering Narnia We were suddenly transported into a beautiful,
magical world So at odds with the industrial limestone factories that dominate the Ninh
Binh landscape, this small pocket of serenity is surprising
With more and more visitors flocking to Vietnam’s World Heritage Sites, I worry that Trang An will suffer the consequences of unchecked mass tourism We can only hope that tourism officials will learn from the experiences of other popular tourist destinations and ensure that this place remains as close to paradise as it was on our visit
