 	The best explainer videos are realized by great background score. When was the last time you watched a silent movie? Never? Not for a while? A long while? Even if you remember watching one, it would still have had a background score, or you’ve accidentally pressed the mute button!
The importance of background music and sound effects for your explainer video, therefore, cannot be overstated. You may not need a full blown orchestra or classy jazz tones to create the mood, but whether going for a subtle effect, a professional demonstration or simply trying to attract customers, music is a must. Explainer videos have the emotional quotient working for them and music is just going to add more to make the viewers relate to the pain points you are highlighting in your video. Imagine if your favorite video game has no background music or sound effects to back the amazing graphics? Would you play it with the same feel and excitement? Nah! Same is the case with your explainer videos. They need to and should have apt sound effects to make them worth your viewer’s time.
 	While the focus of explainer videos production is more on passing the desired information and explaining technical and complex procedures easily, it doesn’t mean you’ll be distracting your viewers with the background music. The sound effects and music are not going to take the message away from your explainer, it’s just going to enhance it and turn it more watchable and share-able. Even if your video doesn’t require a background score, it must include some sound effects or else it would be not so good an experience for those who choose to watch it.
Question 39: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
	A. The influence of silence and background music on memory
	B. The importance of background music and sound effects
	C. Inside the booming business of background music
	D. How to choose the background music for your explainer videos
Question 40: The word “score” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by ______.
	A. mark	B. grove	C. instrument	D. music
Question 41: According to paragraph 2, what is the main purpose for using background music?
	A. A musical atmosphere should help viewers reduce pains.
	B. Sound helps viewers play the video with graphics.
	C. Background music can influence both everyone’s mood and choices.
	D. Background music indicates the viewers’s attitude.
Question 42: The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
	A. background	B. sound	C. video	D. score
Question 43: According to paragraph 3, which statement is TRUE?
	A. Background music is designed as a means to take the message away from the video.
	B. Background music distracts the viewers with the technical and complex procedures.
	C. Presenting wanted information and complicated procedures is the explainer videos’ main purpose.
	D. The music helps the customers with their daily life problems with scientific information.
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 44 to 50.
 	More than 200 reindeer have died of starvation on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, with scientists blaming their deaths on climate change. The wild deer carcasses were found on the Arctic islands this summer by researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI), which said it had never logged so many deaths at once in 40 years of monitoring the animals’ population level. “It’s scary to find so many dead animals,” project leader Ashild Onvik Pedersen told state broadcaster NRK. “This is an example of how climate change affects nature. It is just sad.”
 	Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on earth, is thought to be warming quicker than any other settlement on the planet, climate scientists warned earlier this year. The milder temperatures in the region led to unusually heavy rainfall in December, leaving a thick layer of ice when the precipitation froze. This meant the reindeer could not dig through the hardened tundra to reach the vegetation they graze on in their usual pastures, the NPI said. Svalbard’s reindeer have been observed eating seaweed and kelp when food is scarce, but these are less nutritious and cause them stomach problems.
 	A relatively high number of calves born last year increased the death toll, as the youngest and weakest are often the first to die in harsh conditions. “Some of the mortality is natural because there were so many calves last year. But the large number we see now is due to heavy rain, which is due to global warming,” said Ms Onvik Pedersen. A team of three scientists spent 10 weeks investigating population of the Svalbard reindeer earlier this year. Researchers warned the decline of reindeer would cause unwanted plant species, currently kept in check by the animals’ grazing, to spread across Arctic ecosystems in Europe, Asia and North America.
 	Arctic reindeer and caribou populations have declined 56 per cent in the last two decades, a report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said last year. The report said food security was partly to blame for falling herd numbers, while warmer summers could also put the animals at greater risk of diseases spread by flies and parasites. The average temperature in Longyearbyen has risen by 3.7oC since 1900, more than three times the global average increase of about 1oC. In 2016, the entrance to the town’s “Doomsday” seed vault – which stores specimens of almost all the world’s seeds – was flooded following heavy rainfall.
Question 44: Which could best serve as the title of the passage?
	A. Global warming – What are the effects on nature?
	B. Reindeer – The most vulnerable animals on the Arctic islands
	C. Climate change – What are the reasons?

	B. It is believed to be the most quickly warming settlement on earth
	C. People in Longyearbyen suffered unusually heavy rain at the end of the year
	D. It is the northernmost town on our planet
Question 47: The word “scarce” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by __________.
	A. inappropriate	B. abundant	C. insufficient	D. unlimited
Question 48: What does the word “these” in paragraph 2 refer to__________?
	A. Svalbard’s reindeer	B. seaweed and kelp
	C. milder temperatures	D. their usual pastures
Question 49: According to Ms. Onvik Pedersen, why is the death rate of reindeer so high this year?
	A. Because of natural selection	B. Because of heavy rain
	C. Because of the high number of calves born	D. Because of the shortage of vegetation
Question 50: It can be inferred from the passage that ______________.
	A. the Arctic ecosystems are altering worse because of the global warming
	B. Arctic reindeer play the most important role in the Arctic ecosystems
	C. the harsh weather in Arctic islands only damages the new-born calves
	D. the clearest effect of climate change is the limit of food chain in the nature
