(1 point) The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday. Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is submerging small island nations and threatening to wreak havoc in low-lying, densely populated delta regions around the globe. The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences rising oceans. It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), according to the authors. Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice. Both processes are caused by global warming. The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven metres (23 feet), which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai. Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say. But up to now, there has been a perplexing gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans. 21. Ultimately, the new study should help scientists to ___. A. lower water levels. B. better predict climate change. C. bury sea-level cities like Dhaka and Shanghai. D. higher water waves 22. The rise in water levels is especially dangerous for small island nations and ___. A. middle-lying urban areas. B. all coastal cities. C. people who live on the beach. D. low-lying urban areas. 23. What happens when the ocean's temperature rises? A. It causes floods B. It causes sea levels to rise. C. It causes sea levels to remain constant. D. It causes sea levels to decrease. 24. The word It in the paragraph 2 refers to ___. A. study B. ocean C. chorus D. report Choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the underlined part that needs correction. ( 0.5 point ) Question 25.

Although they are safe to use in a short term, coal, gas and oil present a long –term threat to the environment. All three types of fossil fuels produce carbon dioxide in far greater quantities than plants can use. The carbon dioxide then accumulates in the atmosphere and may even increase the earth’s “ heat load” and lead to global rises in temperature. Furthermore, all three fossil fuels are non-renewable forms of energy. Geothermal power is unlikely ever to be an energy source of major importance. It is limited and is exploitable in only a few places. Hydro-power offers a much more useful source of energy. It is also renewable but its availability is limited. Dams cannot be built in certain areas. Wind power is a pollution-free source of renewable energy but it cannot be used in many parts of the world where there is insufficient wind. Wave power is non- polluting and doesn’t add to the earth’s heat but it is ineffective where the sea is usually calm. Solar energy is renewable, it doesn’t cause pollution and it doesn’t add to the earth’s heat load. Unfortunately, solar power is not distributed equally and it also requires expensive equipment. Finally, nuclear power provides a very efficient and renewable power source. However, not only is there a great danger of leaks or accidents but there is also the problem of the disposal of radioactive waste. Question 21. The threat caused by fossil fuels in the long term is ___ A. the greater quantities of carbon dioxide in plants. B. the safety of using them. C. the increase in global temperature. D. the non- renewable forms of energy. Question 22. The following renewable energies are not polluted EXCEPT ___ A. wind power. B. wave power. C. solar power. D. nuclear power. 8

D. it’s dangerous sometimes. Question 24. What is NOT true about the passage? A. Like any other renewable energy, solar power has some disadvantages. B. The use of solar power and wind power depends on the weather. C. Fossil fuels are unlimited and safe to use in the distant future. D. Where dams cannot be built, hydro-power is impossible.

(1.0 point) One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction make it one of the truly great wonders of the world. The thirteen-acre structure near the Nile River is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are a number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber for the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east, and west – an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshipers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations. Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events – past, present, and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers, and this 11

That’s a tricky question to answer.(21) Are there other planets that support life? That’s exactly what the Kepler mission hopes to discover. NASA launched (22)the Kepler space telescope, designed to find habitable planets, in 2009. So far it has discovered five new Earth-sized planets beyond our solar system. These planets are hotter than the Earth -much too hot for life as we know it. The Kepler team predict that they will need at least three years (and possibly longer) to find an Earth-like planet. (23)The simplest requirement for a planet to have life is for there to be liquid water (not frozen or gas) so the distance from the planet’s sun and therefore temperature are important. There also needs to be the correct amount of air. If a planet is as small as Mars (half the size of Earth) its weak gravity means that it can’t hold on to air molecules. If a planet is Neptune sized (four times bigger than Earth) it has very strong gravity and too much air. So size matters too. The cost for the mission is approximately six hundred million dollars. It is scheduled to observe until 2013 but this could be extended. Will we be sad if we discover we are alone in our galaxy or happy if we find that we share it with other life forms?
