Angkor was an early civilization that flourished in north-western Cambodia from the early 800’s to the 1400’s. The most famous capital of this civilization was also called Angkor. Cambodian kings built several cities between 820 and the 1100’s. The city of Angkor was the most magnificent. It may have had a million people, more than any European city at that time. The city included Angkor Thom, which was actually a city within the city of Angkor. The city of Angkor also contained many temples and palaces. The city and its temples rank as one of the artistic and architectural wonders of the world. Carved scenes of Cambodian life and Buddhist or Hindu mythology decorate the walls of the temples. One of the temples, Angkor Wat, is probably the finest architectural monument in Cambodia. It has a pyramidal form which imitates the mythological home of the Hindu gods. Angkor Wat was constructed in the 1100’s to honour the Hindu god, Vishnu. It was also used as an astronomical observatory. Angkor Wat later became the tomb of the Cambodian king who had ordered its construction. Another temple, the Bayon, stands at the centre of Angkor Thom. It was dedicated to Buddha and the reigning king. The civilization of Angkor reached its peak during the 1100’s and then began to decline. Invasions from neighbouring Thailand, epidemics of malaria and disputes within the Royal Cambodian family may have caused this decline. Thai forces captured the city of Angkor in 1431 but soon abandoned it and forest growth gradually covered most of the city. From the 1860’s to the mid-1900’s, French and Cambodian archaeologists restored many of its temples. 1. Angkor was _________. A. another name of Angkor Thom B. built by artists and architects from Hindu world C. the name of both an early civilization and its capital D. decorated with pictures of Cambodian kings 2.

A. the civilization of Angkor began to decline in the late 1100’s B. most of Angkor was covered by the forest during the Thai invasion C. invasions from Thailand was one of the causes of the Angkor decline D. many temples in Angkor were rebuilt by French and Cambodian archeologists IX.

Global warming and cooling have occurred naturally throughout history. But in the last 200 years, humans’ uses of fossil fuels and clear cutting of forests have increased the amount of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere. These gases trap some of the radiation from the sun which then increases the Earth’s temperature. Given the current state of environmental pollution caused by human activities, scientists believe the average temperature of the earth may increase 1-2 degrees Celsius which put simply, means some places will get much hotter and some much colder. At the same time, this overall warming effect means more frequent and more intense weather systems, especially in terms of flooding and drought. Viet Nam is one of the most vulnerable environments due to its location on the planet. It is already subject to some of the Earth’s most powerful weather systems and the increased frequency and intensity of storms will affect it often and directly, especially in coastal areas where most people live. Various estimates have been made as to the possible impacts. The most directly affected sector will be agriculture, which is very sensitive to flooding and the effects of extreme weather. Viet Nam has the advantage of coming relatively late into the industrialization, urbanization, and modernization process. This means it can avoid many of the mistakes made by wealthier industrial countries. For example, wireless communication networks can be built from the start rather than installing lines that can easily be destroyed in extreme weather. Cities can be designed and located in less vulnerable locations. Climate-friendly building codes and standards can be created that are both more efficient and less prone to heat stress, wind damage, and flooding. Climate friendly transport systems, especially public transport, can be adopted. 1. The causes of global warming come from __________. A. the rise in the radiation from the sun B. human activities that result in pollution C. the difference in temperatures among regions D. the increase in the average temperature of the earth 2. All of the following may result in global warming EXCEPT __________. A. more intense weather systems B. humans’ uses of fossil fuels C. clear cutting of forests D. the increasing greenhouse gas emissions 3. Coastal areas in Viet Nam are often and directly affected by __________.
A. its vulnerable location on the planet B. subject to the earth’s most powerful weather systems C. storms with increased frequency and power D. the overpopulation in coastal areas 5. In preparing for climate change, Viet Nam should take all of the following measures EXCEPT __________. A. developing wireless communication networks B. setting climate-friendly building codes and standards C. adopting public transport systems D. coming late into the modernization process 5. The word “vulnerable” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to __________. A. too weak to attack B. safe from danger C. able to be easily hurt D. easy to take away XI. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question. Today’s urban cities are practically bursting at the seams. According to research from the United Nations, 54 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas, a percentage that is expected to increase to over 66 percent by 2050. In fact, India alone is projected to add 404 million urban dwellers to its population by 2050. This rapid growth of the urban population has caused daunting problems for city planners, such as overcrowded roads, excessive energy consumption and unemployment. Therefore, to build more sustainable cities and accommodate the growing number of residents, many city leaders are turning to the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT has forever changed the way urban cities operate. Cities that were once detached and inaccessible are now intelligent and highly connected. From Amsterdam to Seoul, cities are launching smart city projects to help improve quality of life for residents and better support the environment. According to research from IHS Technology, there will be at least 88 smart cities globally by 2025, up from 21 in 2013. San Francisco, for example, provides more than 100 charging stations in various locations to promote the use of hybrid and electric cars to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Copenhagen is also taking advantage of the IoT to improve environmental protection and reduce road traffic by developing smart bikes equipped with sensors that generate data on air contamination and traffic congestion. The possibilities afforded by the IoT are endless; however, designing smart cities requires comprehensive technology infrastructure that is capable of capturing and processing large amounts of data quickly and securely - which is where 4G LTE comes into play. The future looks bright for urban cities. Soon they will be able to do things that only sci-fi enthusiasts could dream of before, like monitoring bridge conditions using intelligent sensors and conserving energy by automatically dimming street lights when no one is around. 1. Today’s urban cities __________ . A. account for 66 percent of the world’s population B. have more 404 million dwellers by 2050 C. are in fact extremely crowded D. are bursting around the world 2. The Internet of Things allows the city planners and leaders __________ .
