The more carbon monoxide in the atmosphere, the less the atmosphere is able to clean itself. The result is a warming of the atmosphere, the so-called global warming, and possibly ozone damage. Earlier, it was found that carbon monoxide was concentrated in the Southern Hemisphere, and could be attributed to deforestation. Huge areas of forest and grasslands in South America and Africa have been burned, putting carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. Recently, however, the Southern Hemisphere has been found to be clean, while the Northern Hemisphere is more polluted than expected. The latest research was done during the northern winter. The high levels in the Northern Hemisphere could be because of this. In winter carbon monoxide is destroyed more slowly. There are also more fires burned in winter, and possibly industrial processes work harder. It could also reflect the ever-increasing number of cars on the roads. Optimists hope that the reason why the North has overtaken the South as the major area of carbon monoxide is that at last the burning has stopped, or at least slowed down. 23. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A Global warming. B. Carbon monoxide in the atmosphere. C. The warming of the atmosphere. D. Ozone damage. 24. Which of the following is NOT a reason for carbon dioxide? A. Ozone damage. B. Burning of forest. C. Traffic. D. Industry. 25. According to the author which of the following is a reason why in winter there is more carbon-monoxide in the atmosphere? A. Fewer factories are working. B. There is a decrease in the amount of traffic on the roads. C. Central heating means there are fewer fires nowadays. D. Carbon monoxide is not absorbed so fast. 26. Why are the optimists happy? A. People are buying more cars. B. There is more carbon dioxide in the North. C. They are possibly burning fewer forests in the Southern Hemisphere. D. Industry must be doing better. 27. What is the attitude of the author towards the new findings? A. He is biased in favor of the South. B. He is neutral. C. He agrees with the optimists. D. He is worried about the North.

The idea of going overseas to study can be daunting, with visions of baffling languages or nights spent in isolation while you are gradually forgotten by your friends and family. (27) ______, the benefits of studying abroad - such as broadening your mind, improving your career prospects and making friends from all over the world - can make digging out your passport really rewarding. "Studying abroad is an eye-opening experience,” says Anna Boyd, event manager at The Student World. "Being (29) _______ in another culture, understanding differences and spotting similarities, living on a beach or in the mountains, (30) __________ will have an impact on every student." Overseas study comes in many shapes and sizes. It might be a single semester abroad via an Erasmus programme, for example. Or you might elect to follow a full three-or four-year degree programme. Whatever your ambition, the key is starting early. Some countries require specific combinations of A-levels from UK students, Germany looks for four A-levels including maths or science and one modern foreign language, for instance, while others, such as the US, value extracurricular activities. Starting our research well ahead (31)_______ time can help you make the right choices. "Getting involved in sports, arts and music is also worth considering, as well as gaining experience through volunteering and work placements," says Boyd.

A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of the world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath
this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core. The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface. The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area. Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size. It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake. The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas. The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this. 23. The word "hidden" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____. A. undrinkable B. untouched C. unexploitable D. undiscovered 24. What is true of Lake Vostok? A. It is completely frozen. B. It is saltwater lake. C. It is beneath a thick slab of ice. D. It is heated by the sun. 25.

All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it ____. A. was conducted by air B. made use of radio waves C. could not determine the lake's exact size D. was controlled by a satellite 27. It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if ____. A. there were no lake underneath B. the lake were not so big C. Antarctica were not so cold D. radio waves were not used Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 28 to 32. In the early twentieth century, an American woman named Emily Post wrote a book on etiquette. This book explained the proper behavior Americans should follow in many different social (28)________, from birthday parties to funerals.

In Chinese culture, both the giver and receiver understand that the receiver will typically refuse to take the gift several times before he or she finally accepts it. In addition, to (32)________ respect for the receiver, it is common in several Asian cultures to use both hands when offering a gift to another person. 28.

According to research from the United Nations, 54 percent of the world's population lives in urban cities 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 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 lot to improve environmental protection and reduce road traffic by developing smart bikes equipped with sensors that generate date on air contamination and traffic congestion. The possibilities afforded by the IoT are endless; however, designing smart cities quires 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. 23. Some cities which follow this trend of the new technology ____. A. introduce smart bikes to escape air contamination and traffic congestion B. provide charging stations in various locations for cars and bikes C. make transportation more eco-friendly and more convenient
D. only allow the use of hybrid and electric cars to reduce pollution 24. All of the following are the advantages of the IoT EXCEPT that ____ A. the Internet of Things will be applied in several cities around the world B. the number of smart cities decreases but the quality is much better C. cities around the world become more intelligent and connected D. we may improve quality of life and better support the environment 25.

For thousands of years, the largest structures on Earth were pyramids: First the Red Pyramid in the Dashur Necropolis and then the Great Pyramid of Giza, the only remaining Wonder of the World. The largest pyramid ever built, by volume, was the Great Pyramid of Cholula, in the Mexican state of Puebla. This pyramid is considered the largest monument ever constructed anywhere in the world, and is still being excavated.
