PART D: READING 
I. 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 from 1 to 7. 
What was, just a few days ago, the object of eager speculation among British children has 
become a reality. Schools are shut. For an unspecified period, learning will take place at home, 
except for a minority of pupils who are deemed to be vulnerable, or whose parents are key workers. 
Closing schools was a necessary step that should have been taken sooner, as it was in other 
countries. Across the world, school is part of the rhythm of life - for parents and teachers as well as 
pupils. Because of coronavirus, an estimated 800 million children globally are now having their 
education interrupted. Some may welcome this, at least at first. Nobody wants to catch Covid-19, or 
be responsible for spreading it. With British schooling in preparation for primary school SATs, 
GCSEs and A-levels, lessons can be more like drills than investigations. Some parents have already 
begun sharing plans (and 
jokes) about homeschooling. However, most parents will feel less well equipped to teach older 
children. The social impact of being separated from peers also varies for different age groups. 
Almost all children, including some who find school difficult, benefit from the social experiences 
that it offers. But for teenagers, whose emotional development requires them to become more 
separate from their parents and carers, being forced back into the family nest carries particular 
stresses. But economic inequality will be the biggest variable between the experiences of British 
children over the next few months. In any society, school is a leveller. When they are there, pupils 
share the same spaces, lessons, menus and teachers. At home, children of well-off parents invariably 
live in bigger houses, are more likely to have their own bedrooms, two parents rather than one to 
support them, and better access to technology as well as books and other learning resources, and 
food. We must do our best over the corning months, and no one should begrudge those who are 
looking forward to lessons or weekday lunches with their children. But during this particular period, 
the government should do everything in its power to ensure that more vulnerable children and 
families do not 
lose out. When things get back to normal, anyone who have fallen behind must be helped to catch 
up. 
1) Which is the most suitable title for the passage? 
A. Life without School: Not a Level Playing Field B. Homeschooling: You've Missed the Boat 
C. Life at School: No Pain No Gain D. In Praise Of Homeschooling 
2) The word "deemed" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. considered B. persuaded 
C. affected D. chosen 
3) According to paragraph 2, why does the idea of school closure seem appealing at first? 
A. Because lessons at school have become unnecessary 
B. Because most students haven't been well-prepared for the coming exams 
C. Because parents hope to have more time with their children 
D. Because people are unwilling to put their well-being at risk 
4) The word "them" in paragraph 3 refers to ______. 
A. teenagers B. experiences 
C. carers D. stresses 
5) The word "invariably" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.

II. 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 from 1 to 5. 
Our lives are full of cardboard. The packaging of certain things we buy, from food 
products to electrical goods, is made of cardboard. In the UK, over 8 million tons of the 
stuff is produced every year just for packaging. It makes the things we buy more 
expensive, too. On average, 16% of the money we spend on a product is for the 
packaging. And where does the packaging usually end up? In the bin, of course, but 
hopefully that's the recycling bin not the rubbish bin! Recycling cardboard is much 
more efficient than producing it in the first place. It takes 24% less energy and 
produces 50% less sulphur dioxide to recycle it. Recycled cardboard has some 
remarkable uses, too. Obviously, it ends up as packaging again, but it is also used as a 
building material. It isn't as expensive as traditional materials and it is often more 
accessible. Some innovative and environmentally friendly designers are actually using 
it to make furniture and buildings. One such person is Japanese architect Shigeru 
Ban, who designed wonderful emergency shelters made of cardboard tubes. The first 
people to use these were the survivors of the appalling earthquake in Kobe, Japan, in 
1995. Since then, they have been used in other places around the world after terrible 
natural disasters. Perhaps Ban's most outstanding design is his cardboard cathedral 
in Christchurch, New Zealand. His modem, eco-friendly cathedral for up to 700 people 
is a temporary replacement for the ancient cathedral that was damaged in the 
earthquake in February 2011 . 
1) Which could be the best title of the passage? 
A. Cardboard - A Traditional Building Material B. The Future of Packaging in the UK 
C. Japanese Modem Architecture D. A Building Material for the Future 
2) The phrase "the stuff' in paragraph 1 refers to ______. 
A. food products B. cardboard C. packaging D. electrical goods

A. using new ways of doing something B. travelling around the world 
C. being friendly to the environment D. becoming interested in mending something 
4) According to the passage, recycled cardboard can be used for ______. 
A. packaging B. creating energy C. producing sulphur dioxide D . making rubbish bins 
5) Which of the following is TRUE about cardboard buildings as stated in the passage? 
A. They were constructed in Japan and New Zealand only. 
B. They can serve as permanent homes for people. 
C. They are shelters for people after natural disasters.

III. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate 
the correct answer to the following questions. 
Further to the west, the Grand Canyon is one of the world’s most spectacular natural phenomena. It 
is located in the northern part of the state of Arizona, in the United States of America. Covering one 
and quarter million acres, it stretches 277 miles east to west and extends 1 to 18 miles in width. The 
depth has been measured at one mile, which is deeper than any other canyon in the world. It is easy 
to see why the Grand Canyon is included as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Tourist travel 
to the canyon began as early as 1890 and increased rapidly after the hotel was built on the South 
Rim seven years later. In 1919, the Grand Canyon Park was established, with its headquarter on the 
South Rim of the canyon. Ninety percent of the visitors view the Grand Canyon form the South 
Rim, which, unlike the North Rim, is open year round. Visitors can drive around the canyon to the 
North Rim by using a road that is 214 miles long. They can also cross the canyon over a 21-mile 
trail on a two-day hike. Most visitors drive along the park roads, stopping at scenic viewing points 
and many take walks along the canyon rim or hike along one of the 36 trails. Campers can ride 
mules down into the canyon, and water enthusiasts rent boats or canoes to use on the Colorado 
River. The habitat for wildlife at the Grand Canyon is spectacular. The white-tailed Kerab squirrel 
and pink Grand Canyon snake are indigenous and exclusive to this area. Some other animals of 
interest that roam the canyon are elk, deer, mountain lions, and bighorn and pronghorn sheep, while 
the Colorado River is home to a beaver population. Bird lovers can scan the skies for approximately 
300 species of birds. The Grand Canyon is a diverse region of vast proportions with infinite scenes 
of wild beauty. 
1) The paragraph preceding the passage most probably discussed ______.
