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.
In the early days of ecotourism, around the 1950s and 1960s, travellers began to recognize the
importance of nature and protecting it while enjoying it. Although the term "ecotourism" didn't gain
widespread recognition until the 1990s, the ideas and practices associated with it were already evolving.
During this period, people who loved nature started exploring natural areas like national parks and jungles,
aiming to understand and respect nature, not harm it. They wanted to see animals, birds, and beautiful
landscapes up close while also learning about the environment and the creatures living there. The concept
of ecotourism was closely tied to the idea of sustainable travel, which meant ensuring that the natural
places and wildlife remained safe and unharmed while tourists enjoyed them. Early ecotourists often
travelled in smaller groups and stayed in simple accommodations like tents or eco-friendly lodges.
Knowledgeable guides helped them learn about the plants and animals in these areas. Moreover, another
important principle was supporting local communities. Early ecotourism aimed to benefit the people living
near these natural areas by ensuring that the money spent by tourists could improve their lives without
harming the environment. This approach focused on teaching people how to travel without causing damage
to nature. It represented a new way of exploring the world, not just for enjoyment, but also for
understanding and protecting the beautiful planet we all share. Over the years, ecotourism has continued
to grow and evolve, gaining recognition in the 1990s as a more formal and widespread approach to travel,
all while preserving nature and local cultures and creating meaningful and responsible experiences for
travellers.

Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions from 34 to 40.
Urbanisation occurs in many parts of the world, both in developed and developing nations. It refers to the
process in which urban areas grow as people leave the countryside or more factories and towns are built
in rural areas. This can lead to the concentration of populations into towns and cities. When properly
planned, urbanisation can bring a number of benefits, especially for the economy and society. However, if
it is poorly managed, it can pose a significant challenge to maintaining the sustainability of these areas.
Big cities attract a lot of people as they usually offer more employment opportunities as well as a better
life. The economy of urban areas tends to grow rapidly as more businesses and factories are created, and
more workers are needed. Economic growth also leads to an increase in household income and spending.
This also encourages governments to spend money on better schools, hospitals, roads, public transport,
and more. As cities expand, many more facilities such as public parks and gardens, swimming pools,
libraries, cinemas, and sports centres are built. These are just some of the spaces that make city life exciting
and appealing to people of all ages.
However, when too many people move to a big city, without good planning and investment, its
infrastructure can become ineffective. For example, big urban areas can easily get overcrowded as railway
networks and roads can’t cope with the large number of passengers. The economic growth and expansion
of big cities come at a big price for local residents as house prices and rents go up, and they can’t afford
to either buy or rent.
Another problem is that big cities are experiencing more air pollution than rural areas. This can increase
the risk of infections, heart disease, and lung cancer, and severely affect people who are ill. Urbanisation
is a process that cannot be stopped and the best way to minimise the problems caused by it is to plan for
the growth and all the resources needed, and make sure the infrastructure can support the increasing
population.
Question 1: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Urbanisation history. B. Causes of urbanisation
C. The rapid speed of urbanization D. Positive and negative effects of urbanisation
Question 2: The word ‘concentration’ in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. emphasis B. gathering C. attention D. worry
Question 3: According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT a reason why people move to big
cities?
A. Higher earnings. B. Government spending.
C. More job opportunities. D. A wide range of modern services.
Question 4: The word ‘appealing’ in paragraph 2 is opposite in meaning to __________.
A. unattractive B. demanding C. exciting D. unimportant
Question 5: The phrase ‘come at a big price’ in paragraph 3 mostly means __________.
A. have an unpleasant consequence B. make big cities expensive
C. give local residents a lot of money D. have something positive as a result
Question 6: The word ‘they’ in paragraph 3 refers to __________.
A. big cities B. passengers C. house prices D. local residents
Question 7: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Economic growth can help minimize the problems of urbanization.
B. Governments need to modernize city facilities.
C. Good urban planning is needed to manage rapid urbanization.
D. Urbanisation only affects rural areas.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the
questions.
The increase in urbanization causes different problems. Air and water pollution are amongst the
major issue we have to tackle.
In the first place, cars, factories and burning waste emit dangerous gases that change the air
quality in our cities and pose threats to our health. Dangerous gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen
oxides cause respiratory diseases, for instant, bronchitis and asthma. Those are also proved to have long-
term effects on the environment.
Furthermore, with the increased population, it becomes difficult to manage the waste generated in
cities. Most of the waste is discharged or dumped into rivers or onto streets. The waste pollutes water and
makes it unfit for human consumption. Subsequently, it becomes more and more difficult for city
dwellers to get clean water. Some cities in Africa are unable to provide adequate water supply because
most of the water is lost in pipe leakages. In fact, most city dwellers in developing countries are forced to
boil their water or to1 buy bottled water, which is very expensive.
There are several actions that could be taken to eradicate the problems described above. Firstly, a
simple solution would be joining community efforts to address problems affecting your city. Ask your
parents, friends and relatives to join in as well. These efforts might include clean-up campaigns,
recycling projects and a signature campaign to ask the government to do something about the situation. A
second measure would be encouraging your teacher to talk about these problems and to discuss how
young people can help to solve them. Finally, writing to local organizations working on these issues for
ideas on how you can contribute to solve them.
Question 1. The word tackle in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_________.
A. deal with B. make up C. try on D. turn down
Question 2. The word those in paragraph 2 refers to_________.
A. bronchitis and asthma B. carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides
C. dangerous gases D. respiratory diseases
Question 3. According to the passage, in some cities in Africa_________.
A. people are allowed to dump waste into rivers and on streets
B. people aren't provided enough water due to leaking pipes
C. people have found some solutions to the problems
D. people would rather use boiling water and bottled water
Question 4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. City problems should be taught and be topic for students to discuss at school.
B. Children must ask for their parent's permission before joining community efforts.
C. Participators might take part in different kinds of projects and campaigns.
D. People can contribute in solving the problems by writing to local organizations working on
these issues.
Question 5. Which of the following would serve as the best title for the passage?
A. Environment degradation: Air and water pollution
B. Environmental pollution: Problems and actions
C. Increasing urbanization: Causes and effects
D. Increasing urbanization: Effects and solutions
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.
In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put
a greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources. Fortunately, there are a number of readily
available, renewable resources that are both cost- effective and earth – friendly. Two such resources are
solar power and geothermal power.
Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the needs
of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar energy is easily harnessed through the use
of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. In the US alone, more than 100, 000 homes are
equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts of the
world, including many developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily.
Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal
power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth. Hot water and steam that
are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which produces
electricity. Geothermal energy is 50,000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel
resources and as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple. A
prime example of effective geothermal use in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity where there are
over 80 percent of private homes, are heated by geothermal power.
Solar and geothermal energy are just two of promising renewable alternatives to conventional
energy sources. The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on
global scale.
Question 1: What is the main topic of this passage?
A. The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources.
B. Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized.
C. How energy resources are tapped from nature.
D. Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide.
