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 today's competitive world, what responsible parent would not want to give their children the
best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten
months old, to become familiar with computers. They seem to think that if their children grow up
with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future.
No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent. The truth
may even be the opposite. Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers,
especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development. Children gain
valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects. Ten-month-old
babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than
they will from staring at eye-catching cartoons. A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye
coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by
moving a cursor around a computer screen. So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of
government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might be better to devote
resources to music and art programs.
It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from
an early age. Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse". Now is the time when they should be
out there learning to ride a bike. There will be time later on for them to start banging away at
keyboards.
Question 31: What would be an appropriate title for this passage?
A. Let kids be kids B. Computers in schools
C. Never too early to start D. More computers mean brighter future
Question 32: Children who spend a lot of time on their computers _____.
A. will suffer from brain damage
B. tend to have more accidents than those who do not
C. do not necessarily make more progress than those do not
D. tend to like music and art more than those who do not
Question 33: The pronoun "they" in paragraph 2 refer to _______.
A. heads B. objects C. mouths D. babies
Question 34: Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Parents should not put off buying a computer for their children.
B. It is better for children to take computer lessons than art lessons.
C. There is no evidence that children who use computers are cleverer than those who do not.
D. Computers seriously harm children's eyesight.
Question 35: The word "ludicrous" paragraph 3 mostly means _____ .
A. ironic B. sensible C. humorous D. ridiculous
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 following questions.
The World Health Organization on Wednesday declared the rapidly spreading coronavirus
outbreak a pandemic. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that “We expect to
see the number of cases, the number of deaths, and the number of affected countries climbs even
higher.”
WHO officials had said earlier they were hesitant to call the outbreak a pandemic in case it
led governments and individuals to give up the fight. On Wednesday, they stressed that
fundamental public health interventions can still limit the spread of the virus and drive down
cases even where it was transmitting widely, as the work of authorities and communities in
China, Singapore, and South Korea has shown.
The virus, which probably originated in bats but passed to people via an as yet
unrecognized intermediary animal species, is believed to have started infecting people in
Wuhan, China, in late November or early December. Since then the virus has raced around the
globe. South Korea, which has reported nearly 8,000 cases, also appears poised to bring its
outbreak under control with aggressive measures and widespread testing. But other countries
have struggled to follow the leads of China and South Korea — a reality that has frustrated
WHO officials who have exhorted the world to do everything possible to end transmission of
the virus. Tedros used the fact that 90% of the cumulative cases have been reported in just four
countries as evidence that the rest of the world still had time to prevent an explosion of cases
with action.
WHO officials also stressed that countries should be implementing a strategic combination
two types of measures. One involves trying to detect and stop known chain of transmission by
isolating cases and following and potetially their contacts. The other involves community-level
steps like social distancing and comes into play when the virus is spreading more broadly and
transmission chains can’t be tracked. Mike Ryan, the head of the WHO’s emergency program,
said that the public health interventions might not have straightforward effect but to slow the
spread of the virus. People with severe cases can require long periods of critical care and strain
the resources of hospitals. He said he was worried about “the case load, the demand on the health
workers, the dangers that come with fatigue, and potentially shortages of personal protective
equipment.”
