Read the text below and decide which answer best fits each gap.
In Bangladesh, some 56 percent of the under-fives are malnourished because
their families don’t have the land, the resources or the money to get them the
(13)_____ they need. However, there is a simple invention, costing only £5, that is
helping children and their families to (14)_____ . The “hapa” is a fish cage which
allows villagers to “grow” fish in their local ponds by feeding them (15)_____
nothing more than scraps and waste. The “hapas” provide vitamin and protein-
rich food all year round, as well as a little extra money to pay for healthcare and
school fees. A few young fish are put in each “hapa”, which acts as their home,
floating just below the surface of the pond. With a little food - oil cakes, kitchen
waste and snails - fish grow to (16)_____ size and in just a few months begin to
produce young. The cages are made using a few cheap materials. Bamboo poles
form the outer frame and these are secured with string. This is then covered in
netting and floats made of corks are added at the corners. With a (17)_____ of one

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the
following questions.
Petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosene, home heating oil, residual fuel
oil, and lubricating oils, come from one source - crude oil found below the earth's
surface, as well as under large bodies of water, from a few hundred feet below
the surface to as deep as 25,000 feet into the earth's interior. Sometimes crude
oil is secured by drilling a hole through the earth, but more dry holes are drilled
than those producing oil. Either pressure at the source or pumping forces crude
oil to the surface.
Crude oil wells flow at varying rates, from ten to thousands of barrels per hour.
Petroleum products are always measured in forty-two-gallon barrels.
Petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearance: thin, thick, transparent
or opaque, but regardless, their chemical composition is made up of two
elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form compounds called hydrocarbons.
Other chemical elements found in union with the hydrocarbons are few and are
classified as impurities. Trace elements are also found, but these are of such
minute quantities that they are disregarded. The combination of carbon and
hydrogen forms many thousands of compounds which are possible because of
the various positions and joinings of these two atoms in the hydrocarbon
molecule.
The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating and
condensing the vapors. These products are the so-called light oils, such as
gasoline, kerosene, and distillate oil. The residue remaining after the light oils are
distilled is known as heavy or residual fuel oil and is used mostly for burning
under boilers. Additional complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical
structure of the hydrocarbons to produce other products, some of which are used
to upgrade and increase the octane rating of various types of gasoline.
18. The word “minute” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____ .
A. huge B. large C. tiny D. average
19. Many thousands of hydrocarbon compounds are possible because ___.
A. the petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearance
B. complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical structure
C. the two atoms in the molecule assume many positions
D. the pressure needed to force it to the surface causes molecular transformation
20. Which of the following is NOT listed as a light oil?
A. Distillate oil. B. Gasoline. C. Lubricating oil. D. Kerosene.
21. What are the principal components of all petroleum products?
A. Hydrogen and carbon B. Residual fuel oils C Crude oils D. Refined
substances
22. The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to _____ .
A. impurities B. hydrocarbon C. minute quantities D. trace
elements

Read the following passage and do the task that follows.

An earthquake generates shock waves traveling out in all directions, both in the
Earth's interior and along the Earth's surface. These shock waves are called
seismic waves and can be felt by people living many miles away from the
earthquake.
P waves and S waves are the two kinds of interior seismic waves. P waves are
primary waves that travel outward from where the Earthquake originates
beneath the Earth's surface. The fastest of all seismic waves, P waves, can move
through any medium of the Earth's interior: solid, liquid, or gas. They alternately
compress and expand the medium so that P waves vibrate in the same direction
in which they travel.
On the other hand, S waves, or secondary waves, can only travel through solid
mediums. They create vibrations at a right angle to the direction in which the
waves are traveling. This results in the shaking characteristic of an earthquake,
where rocks move up and down or from side to side.
Because the speed of S waves is always slower than that of P waves, scientists
can compare the arrival times of the two types of interior waves. This allows
them to pinpoint the location of an earthquake, even if it is thousands of miles
away.
Complete the summary below. Choose NO MORE THAN ONE WORD from the
text for each answer.
According to the passage, an earthquake (23)____________ shock waves known as
seismic waves. Two kinds of seismic waves travel through the Earth's interior.
Primary waves, or P waves, travel outward from where an earthquake
(24)__________ .
They can move through solids, liquids, or gasses under the surface of the Earth,
(25)____________ compressing and expanding them. S waves are secondary waves
that can only move through solids. They vibrate at right angles to their direction.
S waves travel more slowly than P waves and can only travel through solid
(26)____________ . Scientists can compare S waves and P waves to (27)____________
the location of earthquakes, even thousands of miles away.

Singaporean friend. Write your reply email in about 60 words.
Hi Thu,
I hope this mail finds you well in Hanoi.
It has been over 2 years since foreign visitors were not permitted to visit Vietnam
due to the Covid pandemic. Now that the borders are open, I am now planning to
visit Vietnam in the coming summer for one week. Can you give me some advice on
where I should visit and what I can do there? Your advice is much appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Best wishes,
