The amount and brilliance of the colors that develop in any particular autumn season are related to
weather conditions that occur before and during the time the chlorophyll in the leaves is dwindling.
Temperature and moisture are the main influences.
A succession of warm, sunny days and cool, crisp but not freezing nights seems to bring about the most
spectacular color displays. During these days, lots of sugars are produced in the leaf but the cool nights and
the gradual closing of veins going into the leaf prevent these sugars from moving out. These conditions –
lots of sugar and light – spur production of the brilliant anthocyanin pigments, which tint reds, purples, and
crimson. Because carotenoids are always present in leaves, the yellow and gold colors remain fairly constant
from year to year.
The amount of moisture in the soil also affects autumn colors. Like the weather, soil moisture varies
greatly from year to year. The countless combinations of these two highly variable factors assure that no two
autumns can be exactly alike. A late spring, or a severe summer drought, can delay the onset of fall color by
a few weeks. A warm period during fall will also lower the intensity of autumn colors. A warm wet spring,
favorable summer weather, and warm sunny fall days with cool nights should produce the most brilliant
autumn colors.
Question 39: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Influences of Temperature and Moisture B. Why Sugars Stop Moving Out?
C. What Causes a Severe Summer Drought? D. How Does Weather Affect Autumn Color?
Question 40: According to the passage, leaves in autumn ______.
A. does not lose chlorophyll B. cannot produce sugars
C. also contain carotenoids D. are not affected by moisture

A. conditions B. brilliant anthocyanin pigments
C. carotenoids D. leaves
Question 42: The word intensity in paragraph 3 mostly means ______.
A. strength B. energy C. depth D. height
Question 43: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Temperature and moisture mainly affect the brilliance of the colors.
B. Lots of sugar and light can produce the brilliant anthocyanin pigments.
C. Combinations of variable factors may make two autumns alike.
D. The most brilliant autumn colors could appear in a warm wet spring.
In the European Union we are embracing the clean energy transition. An effective way of doing so is
through the development of advanced and competitive green technology–we want Europe to be the world
leader in this field. To work towards this goal we have set ourselves short and mid-term targets of a 20%
share of renewables in our energy system by 2020, and 27% by 2030. Achieving these targets won’t be easy,
but we have set up the instruments and tools necessary to facilitate the shift. We have legislation establishing
the overall policy for the promotion of energy from renewable sources, including specific national targets to
facilitate implementation.
Our efforts are bearing fruit: recent data from the European Environment Agency for 2014 demonstrate
that, thanks to renewables, fossil fuel use has been reduced by an estimated 114 Mtoe (megaton oil-
equivalent), comparable to the fossil fuel consumption of France. In absolute terms, Germany, Italy and
Spain achieved the largest reduction in domestic fossil fuel use and avoided greenhouse gases emissions, as
a result of national renewable energy deployment since 2005. All in all, around 380Mt of carbon dioxide
emissions have been avoided, which is equivalent to the yearly emissions of Poland.
These results come together with opportunities for investment and growth. Investments historically
allocated to fossil fuels are gradually shifting towards renewables and other sources of clean energy. By
2030, according to the International Energy Agency, we expect investment in renewables to be almost three
times the investment in fossil fuel power plants. This is a tremendous opportunity to position European
energy companies at the head of the new global market of low carbon technologies and one which they are
beginning to seize. According to the 2015 State of Renewable Energies in Europe report, the renewable
energy sector generated a turnover of €143.6 billion and over one million jobs in Europe in 2014. Wind
energy has been the main driver of growth and jobs, accounting for 324,000 jobs and a turnover of €48.3
billion in the same year.

In a world with increasing levels of carbon in the atmosphere, these new findings imply that warmer
weather and longer growing seasons will not allow temperate deciduous trees to take up more carbon
dioxide. The study’s predictive model suggests that by 2100, when tree growing seasons are expected to be
between 22 and 34 days longer, leaves will fall from trees between three and six days earlier than they do
now.
This has significant implications for climate change modelling. If we accept that the amount of carbon
taken up by deciduous trees in temperature countries like the UK will remain the same each year regardless
of the growing season, carbon dioxide levels will rise more quickly than was previously expected. The only
way to change this will be to increase the capacity of trees to absorb carbon.
Plants that aren’t limited by the amount of nitrogen available may be able to grow for longer in the
warming climate. These are the trees which can take nitrogen from the air, such as alder. But these species
will still lose their leaves at roughly the same time as always, thanks to less daylight and colder
temperatures.
But on the upside, with the prospect of some trees losing their leaves earlier and others losing them at
the time they do now, there might be the prospect of prolonged autumnal colours – and more time for us to
kick through the leaves.
A. Autumn and Growing Seasons B. Growing Season in the UK
C. Earlier Autumn Colours D. Nitrogen From the Air
Question 40: According to the passage, carbon and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere ______.
A. has been decreasing in the world
B. cannot be taken up more by temperate deciduous trees
C. will rise more slowly than was previously expected
D. cannot be absorbed by increasing the capacity of trees
Question 41: The word they in paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. leaves B. tree growing seasons
C. trees D. six days
Question 42: The word prospect in paragraph 4 mostly means ______.
A. revolution B. responsibility C. relation D. possibility
A. Tree growing seasons may be 22 to 34 days longer.
B. Plants may grow for longer in the warming climate.
C. Alder will never lose their leaves.
D. Some trees will lose leaves at the time they do now.
Food security means having, at all times, both physical and economic access to sufficient food to meet
dietary needs for a productive and healthy life. A family is food secure when its members do not live in
hunger or fear of hunger. Food insecurity is often rooted in poverty and has long-term impacts on the ability
of families, communities and countries to develop and prosper. Prolonged undernourishment stunts growth,
slows cognitive development and increases susceptibility to illness.
Today, more than 800 million people across the globe go to bed hungry every night, most of them
smallholder farmers who depend on agriculture to make a living and feed their families. Despite an
explosion in the growth of urban slums over the last decade, nearly 75 percent of poor people in developing
countries live in rural areas. Growth in the agriculture sector -- from farm to fork -- has been shown to be at
least twice as effective in reducing poverty as growth in other sectors.
Investing in these smallholder farmers—many of whom are women—and the food systems that nourish
them is more important than ever. In order to feed a population expected to grow to 9 billion people by
2050, the world will have to double its current food production. Given scarcity of natural resources and
other challenges, the world will need to be more efficient in how it meets this demand. To ensure that people
have sufficient food, aligning short-term assistance with a long-term development strategy can help
countries feed their own people.
By addressing acute need as well as the root causes of hunger, poverty and malnutrition, USAID is
strengthening prosperity and security while demonstrating American generosity around the world. USAID’s
programs draw on America’s strength in agriculture and bring benefits back to America as well. For
example, USAID’s research investments have helped farmers abroad and in the United States protect their
harvests from pests and disease.
The enactment of the Global Food Security Act of 2016 and the Global Food Security Reauthorization
Act of 2018 solidified the U.S. Government’s continued, bipartisan commitment to reducing hunger,
malnutrition and poverty around the world.
A. Living in Hunger or Fear of Hunger B. Growth in the agriculture sector

A. is to meet dietary needs for a productive and healthy life
B. means living in hunger or fear of hunger
C. is often rooted in poverty and has long-term impacts
D. increases susceptibility to illness
Question 47: The word them in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. smallholder farmers B. many C. women D. food systems
Question 48: The word acute in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. intense B. arctic C. severe D. scarce
A. Prolonged undernourishment slows cognitive development.
B. Depending on agriculture to make a living is not secure.
C. It need to be more efficient in meeting demand of food.
D. USAID has helped farmers abroad harvest their product.
Question 50: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Food security is crucial, and many solutions have to be applied to secure it.
B. We must be more effective in reducing poverty as growth.
C. A long-term development strategy can help reduce harvest time.
