Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate

Mobile technology can help bring many benefits to students, making their learning flexible,
motivating and speedy. It is not difficult to understand why more and more schools are
encouraging mobile learning in the classroom. Smartphones, tablet computers, e-readers, netbooks
and laptops, etc. are gradually becoming great learning tools for students.
Mobile devices make learning flexible. School computer labs with desktops are wonderful but
students cannot use them in the schoolyard during the break time or in the school canteen while
they wait for lunch. Mobile learning devices are different. They are convenient as students can
carry these devices with them wherever they want and whenever they like.
Mobile learning is motivating. Students are more excited to study when they work with different
types of apps. These apps not only help them understand the materials better but also encourage
them to study harder both in and out of the classroom. This helps them achieve good results in
their study.
Mobile learning makes education speedy. Without having to leave the school building, students
can quickly get information or materials necessary for their study thanks to mobile devices with
WiFi. It takes students just a few seconds to access this wonderful world of knowledge and
information via the Internet.
Mobile technology is already here. It is up to each school to choose the time when they allow
the use of mobile devices. Hopefully, they can make the right decision quickly to help broaden
students' learning opportunities both inside and outside of class.

If you find yourself learning better by taking notes during the lecture, or when the teacher uses
a new word, you want to see it written immediately, then you are very likely to be a more visual
learner. You prefer to see the written words. You learn by reading and writing. Visual learners
often think in pictures. If you find a special task or text difficult, look for sources that will suit
your learning style, e.g. sources with pictures, charts, tables, or videos.
If you prefer recording the lecture and listening again to taking notes, or you remember
something by repeating it aloud instead of writing it out several times, you are probably a more
auditory learner. You prefer to learn by listening and speaking. Auditory learners often learn best
from lectures, discussions, by reading aloud, and by listening to audio material.
However, it is probably that you, like most people, learn through a mixture of styles. Sometimes
you may prefer to learn by reading, at other times by listening. Ask yourself which is the best style
for the special task you are doing.

the correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50.
For many years, scientists have been arguing about global warming. While they do not all agree
about what this might mean for Planet Earth, many think it is going on - and that we can do
something about it. We need a few more years to gather facts before anyone can say for sure. But
people need to start now to do things to stop it.
There are many types of gases in our atmosphere. Some of them absorb the heat from the sun
and control our climate. "Greenhouse gases” are those that hold the heat around the planet's
surface. When we increase the level of these gases, we upset the balance. These extra gases trap
even more heat.
Some scientists say global warming has already started to change the environment. The Earth's
temperature has risen one degree Fahrenheit this century. Many scientists believe it could rise from
two to eight degrees Fahrenheit in the next hundred years. This would be the fastest rise in 10,000
years.
Sea levels could rise. Ice sheets could melt and add to the water level. Many places near the
coast would be in danger of flooding. If climate change is too large and too fast, some plants and
animals could really suffer. They could even die out. Weather could become more violent and
extreme. In some places there would be more forest fires. But in other areas, there would be more
rain and snow, storms and floods.

ENVIRONMENTAL CRIME
We are probably all guilty at some point in our lives of not caring for the environment as much

(42)________ ignore the law. For many years now, politicians have attempted to protect the
environment by making businesses responsible for (43)________ sure that the chemical they use
don't add to the destruction of the environment. The problem for businesses is that the protection
of the environment costs money, and businesses will always try to lower their costs if they can.
Some of them do this by simply putting chemical into rivers when they have finished with them,
leading to the creation of major problems. (44)________ government inspectors may try to catch
them doing it, it can be very difficult to get proof that a particular business is responsible for an
environmental problem. It really depends on not only the government but also businesses and
individuals as well. All people need to (45)________ to protecting the environment.

II. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions.
The increase in urbanization causes different problems. Air and water pollution are amongst
the major issue we have to tackle.
In the first place, cars, factories and burning waste emit dangerous gases that change the air
quality in our cities and pose threats to our health. Dangerous gases such as carbon dioxide and
nitrogen oxides cause respiratory diseases, for instant, bronchitis and asthma. Those are also
proved to have long-term effects on the environment.
Furthermore, with the increased population, it becomes difficult to manage the waste
generated in cities. Most of the waste is discharged or dumped into rivers or onto streets. The waste
pollutes water and makes it unfit for human consumption. Subsequently, it becomes more and
more difficult for city dwellers to get clean water. Some cities in Africa are unable to provide
adequate water supply because most of the water is lost in pipe leakages. In fact, most city dwellers
in developing countries are forced to boil their water or to buy bottled water, which is very
expensive.
There are several actions that could be taken to eradicate the problems described above.
Firstly, a simple solution would be joining community efforts to address problems affecting your
city. Ask your parents, friends and relatives to join in as well. These efforts might include clean-
up campaigns, recycling projects and a signature campaign to ask the government to do something
about the situation. A second measure would be encouraging your teacher to talk about these
problems and to discuss how young people can help to solve them. Finally, writing to local
organizations working on these issues for ideas on how you can contribute to solve them.
