II. READING
1.Read the following passage and circleA. B. C. or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
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.
1. Which of the following is NOT true about fossil fuel?
A. It can pollute the air. B. We don't use much of it.
C. Its sources are limited. D. Mining fossil fuel can bring harm to the environment.
2. All of the following are true about nuclear accidents EXCEPT that ______.
A. they have been very serious B. their effects can last many years
C. it doesn't take us much time to clean up the nuclear waste from the accident
D. there were serious nuclear accidents in Ukraine in 1986 and in Japan in 2011
3. The phrase "clean up" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. block B. evacuate C. disappear D. remove
4. What does the word "They" in paragraph 4 refer to?

5. Which of the following statements would the author of the passage support most?
A. Some governments are wrong when they are using nuclear energy.
B. We should consider seriously nuclear power because it has both advantages and disadvantages.
C. We can continue using nuclear energy until there is an accident.
D.Many people don't want nuclear power in their countries and governments should follow their people.

Where smart cities were once regarded purely as a vision of the future, they are now becoming a
reality in numerous urban centres across the globe. From Dubai, Singapore, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and
Madrid to Southampton in the UK, we’re already beginning to see smart cities provide inhabitants with
improved living conditions, easier mobility and cleaner, safer environments, by using cloud computing to
power services. But as with all public sector initiatives, smart city services need to be delivered as cost
effectively as possible to minimise the taxpayer burden. Often, key decision makers are met with obstacles
when it comes to deploying smart services, preventing smart cities initiatives from reaching their full
potential – or worse, blocking them altogether.
Central to the functioning of most ‘normal’ city ecosystems is the underlying data they run on.
Regardless as to whether that data is stored on local servers or using cloud storage, when that data is
fragmented or incomplete, identifying emerging trends for strategic planning and cost reduction becomes
extremely difficult – and because of this, authorities have to adopt an entirely reactive approach.
Conversely, in a smart city environment, connected sensors forming an Internet of Things (IoT) provide
valuable data for analysis and, in turn, insight into the specific city’s behavioural trends. With this level of
information, services can be optimised to reduce costs and risk, increase urban flows and manage assets.
Importantly, they can also provide real-time connections and interactions between the city’s businesses,
local governments, service providers and citizens.
In this way, operations and services are elevated through the integration and connection of physical
devices via IoT networks, ultimately transforming how a city runs.

The costs and benefits of global warming will vary greatly from area to area. For moderate climate change, the
balance can be difficult to assess. But the larger the change in climate, the more negative the consequences will
become. Global warming will probably make life harder, not easier, for most people This is mainly because we have
already built enormous infrastructure based on the climate we now have.
People in some temperate zones may benefit from milder winters, more abundant rainfall, and expanding crop
production zones. But people in other areas will suffer from increased heat waves, coastal erosion, rising sea le vel
more erratic rainfall, and droughts.
The crops, natural vegetation, and domesticated and wild animals (including seafood) that sustain people in a given
area may be unable to adapt to local or regional changes in climate. The ranges of diseases and insect pests that are
limited by temperature may expand, if other environmental conditions are also favourable.
In its summary report on the impacts of climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated,
"Taken as a whole, the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to
be significant and to increase over time.”
