Write your answers (A, B, C, or D) in the boxes provided. Within the space of a few decades, video game technology has changed beyond recognition. From basic single-player computer games involving simple stick controls, we can now manipulate the movements of computer game characters with our bodies. We can even invite other people from anywhere in the world to join us in online games. So how might gaming evolve in the next few decades? HSGVH-THCS 2024-2025 Page 5/9
The average age of gamers has risen to about 30 in recent years. Experts agree that this trend is likely to continue. Not only are people continuing to play games later in life, but now even older people with no computer skills can also confidently take part in the games console revolution. More and more games are designed to need very little pressing of buttons. Games of the future may even be completely voice-activated. Because of this user-friendliness, game designers are trying to appeal to a whole new market, the middle-aged. We may soon see the release of games with themes such as gardening or cookery. The younger generation, however, can push themselves harder with more serious gaming, and they expect games to become a lot more physical in the future. There are already some games that sense the movement of any part of the body. Soon, game consoles will even be adapted to the way we feel through our facial expressions. Some games will feel more real than ever through the use of 3D imagery. Today's most advanced video games are played at home, but it is already common for people to continue playing them wherever they go via their phones or similarly-sized gadgets. Businesses could even try to take advantage of this, couldn't they? They could start advertising within games that are being played by people in their target groups, those who live in certain areas or by people with particular tastes. 1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Changes in The Gaming World B. The Impacts of Computer Games on Players C. The Importance of Mastering Computer Games D. The Comparison Between Computer Games in The Past And Today 2. The word “manipulate” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______. A. maintain B. control C. prevent D. increase 3. According to paragraph 2, what is one factor making game consoles more accessible to older people? A. Games requiring less button pressing. B. Introduction of virtual reality technology. C. Decrease in the price of game consoles. D. Improved graphics and sound effects. 4. The word “adapted” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______. A. supported B. carried C. removed D. adjusted 5. The word “them” in paragraph 4 refers to _______. A. phones B. gadgets C. video games D. people 6. Which of the following is NOT true about future games according to the passage? A. Computer games might be more popular with middle-aged people. B. Video games for younger players will be physically demanding. C. Some games are more lifelike with 3D images. D. Gaming will only be limited to playing at home. 7. Which of the following can be inferred from the final paragraph? A. People prefer playing games on their smart devices which contain advertisements. B. Businesses should make their own computer games to advertise their products. C. Players can choose not to see advertisements during their games on smartphones. D. It is a good idea for companies to put ads in games played by a certain group of people. HSGVH-THCS 2024-2025 Page 6/9
Your answers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Part 4. You are going to read four paragraphs about ways calling for help. For each question below, choose one paragraph A- D. The paragraph may be chosen more than once. Write your answers (A, B, C, or D) in the corresponding numbered boxes. Lost in the wilderness. S.O.S A- SMOKE SIGNALS During the hours of darkness, fires are the most effective method of signalling. Three fires in a triangle are an international distress signal which pilots and rescue workers everywhere will understand. If you are in a jungle or forest, try to find a clearing, otherwise the fires will not be visible from the air. A burning tree is another way of attracting attention. Always select an isolated tree so that you do not start a forest fire! During the day, fires are also a good way of signalling, provided that they are producing a lot of smoke. The international distress signal is three columns of smoke. Think about what colour the smoke should be in order to stand out against the background. Adding green vegetation to the fire produces white smoke; adding rubber (for example, an old tyre) or clothing soaked in oil produces black smoke. B- MIRROR SIGNALS On a bright, sunny day, the most effective method of signalling is a mirror. In fact, pilots have reported seeing mirror flashes up to 160 kilometres away. If you do not have a mirror, any shiny metal surface may work. Aim the mirror by holding up one finger of your other hand in line with the aircraft. If you can hear an aircraft but can’t see it because of cloud, shine the mirror in the direction of the noise. Two words of caution, however. Firstly, do not shine the mirror at the aircraft’s cockpit for more than a few seconds, as it might temporarily blind the pilot, which is not what you want if you are hoping to be spotted. And secondly, if you are in a war zone, do not flash the mirror rapidly towards the aircraft or the pilot may mistake the signal for gunfire and avoid the area - or worse, return fire! C- LONG RANGE GROUND-TO-AIR SIGNALS Once you have been seen by an aircraft, it may be necessary to exchange vital information without the use of a radio. For this reason, internationally understood signals exist for ground-to- air and air-to-ground communication. The person on the ground can create the symbols by any means possible - leaves, branches, gaps in the snow, patterns on the sand - provided they are large enough to be seen from the air. This usually means at least three metres long and a metre wide. A single line means ‘serious injury, doctor required’, while two capital Ls mean ‘all is well’. If you have a piece of cloth big enough, such as a sail or life-raft cover, you can fold it into various patterns to give information. Folding one corner means ‘we need fuel, but our plane is flyable’. Folding two corners means ‘we need warm clothing’. D- BODY SIGNALS AND PILOT’S REPLIES When the aircraft is sufficiently low for the pilot to see you clearly, use body movements to convey a message. Raising both hands above your head means ‘pick us up’ if you keep them still, or ‘do not attempt to land here’ if you move your hands to the side in an arc. If the pilot has seen and understood your signal, he or she will make the aircraft rock from side to side so the wings go HSGVH-THCS 2024-2025 Page 7/9
up and down. If, however, the message has been seen but not understood, the aircraft will fly in a clockwise circle overhead. For obvious reasons, there is no signal which means ‘message not seen'! Which section mentions a signal which 1. should be made only briefly? 2. is the best one to use at night? 3. can only be used when an aircraft is very close? 4. could cause widespread damage if you chose the wrong place? 5. could be made with a large piece of material? 6. can be used to request specific items? 7. may work even if the sky is not clear? Your answers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 SECTION IV – WRITING (3.0points) Part 1. Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first one, using the word given. Do not change the word given.

Linda’s plan for the picnic has been spoiled by the weather. FALLEN  Linda’s plan for the picnic ________________________of the weather. 5.

RATHER  I _____________________ work next week. 7. It is not worth asking George to help. POINT  There’s ___________________George to help. 8. Matthew didn’t listen to what his doctor told him. OF  Matthew took ___________________advice. 9. Mai found it hard to concentrate on her book because of the noise. DIFFICULTY  Mai __________________________ her book because of the noise. 10.
