V Read the passage and choose the best answer
The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due
to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is submerging small island nations and threatening to wreak havoc in low-lying, densely populated delta regions around the globe
The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences rising oceans It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), according to the authors
Trang 6Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice Both processes are caused by global warming The ice sheet that sits atop
Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven metres (23 feet), which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai
Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically
important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say But up to now, there has been a perplexing gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans
The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reconcile the models with observed data Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 metres (2,300 feet) from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimetre-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC
21 Ultimately, the new study should help scientists to
A lower water levels
B better predict climate change
C bury sea-level cities like Dhaka and Shanghai
22 The rise in water levels is especially dangerous for small island nations and
A low-lying urban areas
B all coastal cities
C people who live on the beach
23 What happens when the ocean's temperature rises?
A It causes sea levels to rise
B It causes sea levels to remain constant
C It causes sea levels to decrease
24 What was the main finding of the study?
A not enough is being done about global warming
B ocean waters have warmed faster than scientists had previously thought
C the warming of the world's oceans is not a threat
25 The new study
A shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.32 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels
B did not reveal anything that scientists didn't already know
C used new techniques to assess ocean temperatures

IV Read the passage and choose the best answer
It's called 42 - the name taken from the answer to the meaning of life, from the science fiction series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 42 was founded by French technology billionaire Xavier Niel, whose backing means there are no tuition fees and accommodation is free Mr Niel and his co-founders come from the world of technology and start-ups, and they are trying to do to education what Facebook did to
communication and Airbus to accommodation
Students at 42 are given a choice of projects that they might be set in a job as a software engineer -
perhaps to design a website or a computer game They complete a project using resources freely available
on the Internet and by seeking help from their fellow students, who work alongside them in a large open-plan
room full of computers Another student will then be randomly assigned to mark their work
The founders claim this method of learning makes up for shortcomings in the traditional education system, which they say encourages students to be passive recipients of knowledge “Peer-to-peer learning develops students with the confidence to search for solutions by themselves, often in quite creative and
ingenious ways."
Like in computer games, the students are asked to design and they go up a level by completing a project They graduate when they reach level 21, which usually takes three to five years And at the end, there
is a certificate but no formal degree Recent graduates are now working at companies including IBM,
Amazon, and Tesla, as well as starting their own firms
"The feedback we have had from employers is that our graduates are more apt to go off and find out information for themselves, rather than asking their supervisors what to do next," says Brittany Bir, chief operating officer of 42 in California and a graduate of its sister school in Paris Ms Bir says 42's graduates will
be better able to work with others and discuss and defend their ideas - an important skill in the "real world” of
work “This is particularly important in computer programming, where individuals are notorious for lacking
certain human skills," she says
But could 42's model of teacherless learning work in mainstream universities? Brittany Bir admits 42's methods do not suit all students "It suits individuals who are very disciplined and self-motivated, and who are not scared by having the freedom to work at their own pace," she says
26: According to the passage, 42 is
C an innovation in technology D a tool of virtual communication
