Emma
I usually teach English at a language school in the summer. I often can’t enjoy the summer
because I am so busy. So this summer, I’m not planning to work. Instead, I’m going to have a
proper summer holiday. I’m going to buy a campervan and drive around Ireland. I’m going to visit
lots of beautiful beaches and learn to surf! I’m mostly going to travel alone, but I will visit friends.
One friend, Cathy, is a school teacher, so she has a long summer holiday, so hopefully, we will
spend a week or two together. Another Irish friend, Joe, has a new house there, so I’ll stay with
him for a few days and help him paint the rooms.
Jayden
Last year, I did a surfing instructor course, and I spent the summer teaching people to surf. It
was great! I was in the sea and sun all day, and every evening, my friends and I had a barbecue on
the beach. The surf school asked me to return this summer, but I’m not going to do that. Last
autumn, I learned to scuba dive, and I’m going to do a diving instructor course soon. Then, I plan
to teach diving all summer to earn some money. I don’t want to stay in the UK. It’s too cold here!
I want to fly to Greece or Egypt. I’ll go there alone. I’m sure I will meet lots of cool people there!
Pamela
Well, last month, my friend Alfie and I had a crazy idea. We decided to cycle from the south of
England to the north of Scotland, from Land’s End to John o’Groats. It’s an 874-mile trip! It takes
ten to fourteen days. But I’m not a fast cyclist, and I want to enjoy visiting different places, so we
5
plan to ride for four weeks. We will visit historic cities like Bath and Edinburgh, cycle through the
pretty countryside and visit museums and castles on the way. Alfie wanted to camp, but I’d like a
comfortable bed at the end of each day, so we are going to stay in guest houses. I hope it doesn’t
rain a lot, but I hope it’s not too hot either!

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 34 to 40.
No one travels alone to the hottest place on earth. You need, for starters, a driver and a Jeep
stocked with water and four days of non-perishable food. There are no places to lodge or dine in
this desert, so you'll need space for beds and someone who knows how to cook. And finally,
because a journey like this costs many thousands of dollars, you'll need some fellow travellers to
split the bill and the sort of people who like to fry themselves on vacation.
My father is the easiest recruit. Dad, who naps the best roasting in the afternoon sun, is a lover
of extreme heat. He's also an extreme traveller, drawn to the fringes of places, all the countries
where no one vacations. From my father, I've inherited both tendencies: I'm known for getting
bright pink sunburns, and also for stalking the edges of maps. The Danakil desert lies on the
fringes of several countries, which claim a sliver of this sweltering, low-lying desert, names the
cruellest place on earth. I don't have to mention this is to my father - not the endless salt flats,
lakes the bright colour of mouthwash, or camels by the thousands. When Dad starts calling this
desert 'the frying pan', I know he's in.
We enlist three more people and in Mekele, the starting place for our voyage, we merge with
four others. We fill five Jeeps and have nothing in common but a love of travel, and a willingness
to sweat for it. The Jeeps plunge down mountains for hours. The heat, of course, is brutal. I
remind myself this is just a warm-up. The real heat won't strike until we reach the sizzling edge of
the frying pan, an uninhabited region, roughly 130 meters below sea level, called Dailol, which

6
holds the record for the highest average annual temperature of 34 C.
As we continue, sand gives way to salt, and soon we're in a landscape of white crystals glinting in the
fresh morning light. The ground is miraculously flat. Our driver, who has been battling fine sand, cannot
resist the urge to go for it. We surge ahead of the other cars in what looks like a Jeep race across some
frozen lake. Suddenly, in the pure white expanse, a huge brown mound appears. We're ordered by our
guides to find a full litre of bottled water and to bring it with us up the lumpy brown mountain.
At the summit, I find my travel mates standing in a kind of silent daydream. Astonished, they crouch
down beside pale green toadstools - mineral formations whose glossy tabletops are smooth as marble.
The hottest place on earth is an assault of colour: yellow and deep rust, pea green and purple. Some of the
formations look like coral reefs, others like eggshells., air-blown from the hot breath of the earth below.
Everyone wanders off alone, crunching over the earth, heads down, staring at the ground and shaking
their heads.
I know the ground is hot - you can even hear the water boiling underground. Everywhere we step,
things break and splinter. Just when I work up the nerve to step with force, the purple ground collapses
beneath my foot. The sneaker I pull back out is covered in the bright yellow stuff. You start to think: we
really shouldn't be here. This desert wasn't built to handle a human intrusion, and the human body
certainly wasn't built to handle this desert.
Back in the Jeeps, blazing towards the white horizon, I look down at my sneakers. The fluorescent
yellow stuff has faded into neutral dirt, like that was all just some fever dream up there, a place we made
right up.

B. The writer compare the landscape to ice.
C. The writer and her fellow travellers are unable to take their eyes off the scene in front of them.
D. Their Jeeps are expensive.

farmers started adding a special ingredient to their animals' feed to reduce cows' methane
production. In New Zealand, scientists are working on a vaccine which can cut methane
emissions. Rather than stopping methane emissions, a UK company has designed face masks to
catch the gas (20) .
The masks will allow cows to continue (21) but will turn methane into CO2 and
water. They can fit comfortably on the cow's head and can be adjusted to different head sizes.
Sensors on the masks can notice when methane comes out of the cow's mouth and provide the
percentage of the gas (22) . This information can also be useful for farmers who can
use it to identify the early signs of disease. For example, (23) , but produces more
methane than usual, it may have a health problem.

Cultural heritage preservation means keeping traditions and customs of a community against
factors that try to change them negatively. Some common examples are (24) historical
buildings, passing on an ancient craft or recording traditional tales. Cultural heritage is crucial
for communities. It helps them look back on their history in a way (25) informs their

Cultural heritage preservation encourages as well as utilizes tourism. Heritage Tourism is
one of the major ways to preserve cultural heritage and reduce poverty in a community. It often

the local economy and can become one of its major industries. Many tourists visit
cultural sites and partake in cultural activities while traveling to these places. As tourism
increases, more jobs for local residents such as museum guides or local restaurant and shop
owners are created. Employers can then afford to pay their employees. (27) , cultural heritage
preservation also reduces poverty and maintains cultural values by passing down artisan crafts to
new generations. (28) advantage of preserving cultural heritage is that this can help
the new generations take pride themselves on their ancestors and country.

Due to natural disasters or man-made damages during the war, a great deal of historical sites
and artifacts have been damaged. It is difficult to repair these sites, as it may take a lot of time,
cost, and there is a lack of the information on how the original work actually looked. Rebuilding
cultural heritage sites and artifacts is similar to solving a big jigsaw puzzle without knowing
what it should look like - everything starts from the beginning and guesses.
One project has been run by a group of scientists to help with the time-consuming
restoration of the heritage sites. The technologies in the project are robotics, 3-D scanning,
modern machines and artificial intelligence.
These artifact pieces are scanned by high-tech computers to predict their original
architecture. Throughout the process, the computer system is guided by humans to ensure that
the pieces are accurately rebuilt. The computer software collects all pieces and connects them
together to draw a picture of what the original heritage site looked like.
The second component brings robots into the workplace. The robot should be able to scan
those pieces of a heritage site on its own, and connects them together as a complete one. The
robot looks like an average person to save a large amount of time and human resources when
gathering the information about the heritage sites.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions 34- 40
Right now, the biggest source of energy in the world is fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are oil, gas,
and coal. More than 80 percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuel. There are many
problems with fossil fuel. One problem is that when fossil fuel is burned, it pollutes the air.
Also, when we take fossil fuel from the Earth, we often cause a lot of damage. Another problem
is that we are running out of it. That is why we need new sources of energy. A big source of
energy for many countries is nuclear power. Thirty-one countries use nuclear power. Many ships
also use it.
Nuclear power has some advantages. First of all, we can't run out of nuclear power. Nuclear
power does not make the air dirty. Also, if a country has nuclear power, it doesn't need to buy as
much as oil from other countries.
However, there are also a lot of problems that come with nuclear power. For example, nuclear
accidents are very serious. In 1986, there was a nuclear accident in Ukraine. In the next 20 years,
about 4,000 people got sick and died. In 2011, there was another very serious nuclear accident in
Japan. Japan is still trying to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident.
Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries. They say that it is not safe. A lot of
people want their countries to use safer and cleaner ways to get electricity. There have been
protests against nuclear energy in the United States, Russia, France, Taiwan, Japan, India, and
many other countries.
Although many people hate nuclear energy, more and more countries are using it. One reason
for this is that the world is using more and more energy. We just don't have enough fossil fuel.
However, if we use nuclear power, then we may have more serious problems in the future.
Question 34. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Different sources of energy: Advantages and Disadvantages.
B. We don't use much of different sources of energy.
C. Different sources of energy are limited.

Question 36. All of the following are true about nuclear accidents EXCEPT that .
A. they have been very serious
B. it doesn't take us much time to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident
C. there were serious nuclear accidents in Ukraine in 1986 and in Japan in 2011
D. their effects can last many years
Question 37. The phrase "clean up" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .
A. block B. activate C. disappear D. remove
Question 38. What does the word "They" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. countries B. protesters C. officials D. supporters
Question 39. According to the passage, thanks to nuclear power,
A. Some governments can exploit the natural resources in large quantities.
B. Some countries are in no need to buy as much as oil from other countries.
C. No ships can use it to operate for a long time.
D. Many people can use nuclear power in their homes.
Question 40. It can be inferred from the passage
A. Some governments are wrong when they are using nuclear energy.

(25) there isn't sufficient fresh water. Not only that, but 25% live
in developing countries that suffer from frequent water (26) . They lack
the systems necessary to carry the water from the rivers to where it would be used.

If there is not enough clean water to drink, people will drink water of poor quality.
This can increase the risk of (27) diseases such as cholera and
dysentery. Water is a precious resource, but in countries with with anticipated

Have you ever felt that there aren't enough hours in the day? These days we
have to do our jobs, look after our homes, save energy to help the environment,
and do exercise to stay healthy! Like many of us, Alex Gadsden never had enough
time. He ran a business and a home and needed to lose weight. So he decided to
do something about it. He invented the cycle washer. The 29-year-old now starts
each day with a 45-minute cycle ride. He not only feels healthier but he saves on
his energy bills and does the washing too.
He said, "It gives the user a good workout. I've only used it for two weeks
but I've already noticed a difference." "I tend to get up at around six-thirty now and
get straight on the cycle washer. I keep it in the garden, so it's nice to get out in the
fresh air. Afterwards, I feel full of energy. Then I generally have breakfast and a
shower and I really feel ready to start the day." The green washing machine uses
25 litres of water a wash, and takes enough clothes to fill a carrier bag. He
normally cycles for 25 minutes to wash the clothes, and then for another 20
minutes to dry them. And it doesn't use any electricity, of course. Mr Gadsden, the
boss of a cleaning company, believes his machine could become very popular.
With an invention which cleans your clothes, keeps you fit and reduces your
electricity bill, he may well be right.
Question 29: What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of daily exercise B. Ways to do the washing properly
C. Cycling makes you healthier D. A fascinating invention
Question 30: The word “ran” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
A. moved B. allowed C. managed D. changed
Question 31: According to paragraph 1, what does Alex Gadsden achieve
with the invention of the cycle washer?
A. His electricity bills are reduced. B. He puts on weight.
C. He helps his wife with the washing-up. D. He becomes more involved in
recycling.
Question 32: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. difference B. the cycle washer C. the fresh air D. workout
Question 33: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
17
A. Alex Gadsden is positive about the success of the cycle washer.
B. The cycle washer can help you to remain strong and healthy.
C. It doesn't require any electricity to run the cycle washer.
D. Alex's machine isn't effective in terms of cleaning the clothes.

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 34 to 40.
Los Angeles dancer, Brian Perez, was eating out with his friends one evening
when suddenly everyone went quiet. To his horror, he saw that the reason for this
was that people were checking their phones. Realising he had to do something to
stop this, Brian made a rather daring suggestion. What if they all put their gadgets
in a pile in the middle of the table until they had finished the meal? If anyone
picked up their phone, that person would have to pay the whole bill. And so, it is
said, the game of 'phone stacking' was born.
The necessity for action like this highlights a major problem in today's society:
our inability to disconnect from technology. But while Brian's idea deals with the
obsession in a social context, measures also need to be taken at home. Some people
drop their smartphones into a box the moment they arrive home, which gives them
the chance to interact with the people they live with. The fact that the phone cannot
be heard - it is on silent - nor seen - the flashing lights are hidden by the box -
means that they are no longer tempted to use it.
A less drastic solution is to ban electronic devices at certain times of day when
the whole family is likely to be together, for example at meal times. This can be
hard for everyone, from teenagers desperate to text friends to parents unable to
switch off from work. On a normal day, however, dinner takes less than an hour,
and the benefits of exchanging opinions and anecdotes with the rest of the family
certainly makes up for the time spent offline.
Taking a break from technology is one thing, but knowing when to turn off a
device is another. Time seems to stand still in the virtual world, and before you
know it, you find that it is three o'clock in the morning. This is where a digital
curfew comes in handy, a set time when all devices must be put away. Evenings
without technology are usually nice and peaceful and make a more agreeable end
to the day. And then it's time for bed. One of the best ways of ensuring you can
sleep at night is to ban electronic devices altogether from the bedroom. Lying next
to a machine bursting with information is far from relaxing, and the sounds it emits
during the night can easily wake you up. With technology out of the room, a line
has been drawn between daytime and sleep time, which enables us to switch off
ourselves and drift off to sleep.
Question 34: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Dependence on Technology: Time for Change!
B. Getting Rid of Your Mobiles: For Better or Worse?

A. people were willing to remove all their gadgets

Question 36: The word “highlights” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
A. tackles B. expects C. proposes D.
emphasizes
Question 37: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. fact B. phone C. light D. box
Question 38: The word “ban” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to
A. allow B. forbid C. prohibit D. prevent
Question 39: Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?
A. People choose not to use their phones at home so that they can talk to other members.
B. Meal times are the most suitable for the whole family to use phones together.
C. Teenagers can find it easier to turn off their phones compared to their parents.
D. Brian's idea is not new in terms of making people less dependent on technology.

B. Using electronic gadgets at bedtime is likely to deprive yourself of having a good sleep.
C. People are more pleasant to talk with when they use technology in the evenings.
D. The line between daytime and sleep time has become increasingly blurred.
