Floods are common natural disasters that can affect millions of people around the world. They destroy
houses and buildings, and carry soil away from valuable farming land. Floods can also contaminate drinking
water and lead to diseases.
At least once a year the plains around large rivers are flooded. This is due to the amount of water that
rivers bring with them, because of heavy rainfall of melting snow in the mountainous regions. Thunderstorms
can cause flash floods, in which small rivers can swell quickly and carry up to ten times the normal amount of
water. Tropical storms, cyclones and hurricanes also lead to flooding. Hurricane Katrina caused a massive
flooding of the whole Mississippi Delta in 2004.
Floods are not always destructive natural events. Before the Aswan High Dam was built yearly floods in
Egypt brought along nutrients and made the land around the Nile very fertile. Every year floods during the
monsoon season in Bangladesh deposit fertile soil but also kill thousands of people and leave millions
homeless.

It might sound strange to you but these are some important rules. If you want to pass examinations, then
study grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English, try to learn English without studying too
much grammar because that will only slow you down and confuse you. You will think about the rules when
creating sentences instead of speaking naturally like a native speaker. Some native speakers do not know so
many grammar rules as non-native students do.
Everyone can speak at least one language whether they are intelligent, or lack some brain power. This
could be achieved by being surrounded by that language at all times. You may notice that there are also some
people who study abroad and learn very little. That is because they go to an English speaking school, but find
friends from their own country and don't practice English. Some others can speak English well because they
live in an English speaking environment.
Therefore, why don't you surround yourself with English? Make rules with some friends that you will only
speak English when meeting up for a coffee, for example. You can also carry around an iPod and listen to
English as much as possible.
23. You don't need to study too much grammar to be fluent in English. _________________
24. You need to be quite intelligent to study a language well. _________________
25. Living in an English speaking environment, people will learn the language better. _________________

A. Learning grammar helps you improve your speaking skill.
B. The rules of learning English well.
C. The reason why some people speak English well.

D. Benefits of learning English.
28. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. You should go for a coffee with your friends to study English.
B. You don't need to study grammar to be great in English.
C. You should practice English as much as possible.
D. Study abroad to surround yourself with English.

I often hear or read about “natural disasters”- the eruption of Mount St. Helen, a volcano in the state of
Washington; Hurricane Andrew in Florida; the floods in the American Midwest; terrible earthquakes all over
the world; huge fires; and so on. But I’ll never forget my first personal experience with the strangeness of
nature – “the London Killer Fog” of 1952. It began on Thursday, December 4th when a high-pressure system
(warm air) covered southern England. With the freezing-cold air below, heavy fog formed. Pollution from

factories, cars, and coal stoves mixed with the fog. The humidity was terribly high, there was no breeze at all.
Traffic (cars, trains, and boats) stopped. People couldn’t see, and some walked onto the railroad tracks or into
the river. It was hard to breathe, and many people got sick. Finally on Tuesday, December 9th, the wind came
and the fog went away. But after that, even more people got sick, many of them died.

Hurricanes are the most violent storms on Earth. People call these storms by other names, such as typhoons
or cyclones, (17)__________ on where they occur. The scientific term for all these storms is tropical cyclone.
Only tropical cyclones that form over the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean are (18)__________
"hurricanes". Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form
only over warm (19)__________ waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward
from near the surface. Because this air moves up and away from the surface, there is less air left near the
surface. Another way to say the same thing is that the warm air rises, causing an area of lower air
(20)__________ below. Air from surrounding areas with higher air pressure pushes into the low-pressure area.
Then that "new" air becomes warm and moist and rises, too. As the warm air continues to rise, the surrounding
air swirls in to (21)__________ its place. As the warmed, moist air rises and cools off, the water in the air
forms clouds. The (22)__________ system of clouds and wind spins and grows, fed by the ocean's heat and
water evaporating from the surface.

NASA's Mars Global Surveyor has orbited the planet since March 1999 on a mission to map and study the
planet's entire surface. The long-term mission has produced particular insights into the dynamic planet's
changing seasons and shifting weather, including its infamous dust storms. Perhaps the most famous of all
Martian missions is that of the Mars exploration rovers Spirit and Opportunity. These two rovers reached
opposite sides of Mars in January 2004 and have proceeded to explore the planet far more extensively than
previous missions. The rovers have covered several miles and returned more than 100,000 high-resolution
images. Probing soil and rocks, they have also used their fully equipped lab modules to conduct robotic field
geology tests on the Martian surface and even below it. Many future Mars missions are already in development
and will take place long before any human visits the planet. Scientists hope that robotic craft can delve far
beneath the Martian surface to return data, and possible samples, of the planet's geology. Such missions could
even find signs of the water, and possible life, that may lie hidden beneath the planet's forbidding exterior.

Every day on radio, on TV, and in the newspapers, we hear, see, or read about many problems in the world,
for example, pollution problems. Air pollution is the first kind. It mostly comes from fumes released from
motorbikes, cars, airplanes, trains, and poisonous gases emitted from factories. Also, waste is dumped
anywhere, even in the city where many people are living. The second pollution problem is sea pollution. Many
people earn their living from fishing in the sea, and the fish they catch feed many people. But the sea has
become so polluted from oil spills and factory wastes that the fish are dying. This pollution is not only killing
the fish, but is also affecting those people who eat fish. Seldom do you find a place nowadays that is not

Many parents are concerned that their children will spend time on social networking which they could be
using to do their homework, exercises, or interact with people in the real world.
They may feel that social networking sites are a waste of their children’s time. However, new research
claims that the communication opportunities provided by social networking encourage young people to explore
their interests, develop technical skills, and work on new forms of self- expression. The three-year study carried
out by a University of California research team that interviewed over 800 teens and conducted over 2000 hours
of online observations. It found that social networking helps teenagers learn the social and technical skills they
need to be knowledgeable citizens in the digital age.
The study concludes that social networking contributes to young people’s extended friendships and
interests. While the majority of teens use social networking sites to “hang out” with people they already know
in real life, some use them to find like- minded people. Those interested in chess or international politics, for
example, can expand their circle with others who share the same interests and can find information that goes
beyond that they have access to at school. They can also publicize and distribute their music, art work, or
writing to online audiences, and gain visibility and enhance their reputations. Teenagers create new modes of
self-expression and rules for social behavior online. New forms of online media allow them to acquire technical
skills through creating videos, writing blogs or customizing their online profiles. The researchers said teens
usually respect one another’s authority online, and they are often more motivated to learn one another than from
their parents or other adults.
Social networking has become a societal reality. Children and teens commonly use these sites to interact
like adults. With social networking such an important part of youth social culture, it can be extremely difficult
to completely keep teens away from social networks. Instead, it is better for parents to allow their kids to access
the appropriate websites while teaching them to use them safely and responsibly.

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant
language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having
incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1030. Until the
1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not attended even as far as Wales,
Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the
globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small
enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities
proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking, and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems Worldwide is in English. Two-
thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising,
media, international airports, and air traffic controllers.
Today there are more than 700 million English Users in the world, and over half of these are non-native
speakers, constituting the largest number of non-native users than any other language in the world.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water. Having
clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have made
many sources of water undrinkable.
Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of
the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that
do not exist anywhere else in the world. Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial
effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the governments do not have
the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1%
of the world's water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost sixteen
countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles offshore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago, people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was
limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce,
and we are at last beginning to respect it. What should we do to save this precious source?

Is there life on Mars? Many people have wondered about this question. Some writers of science-fiction
think of people from Mars (17)__________ little green creatures. Others imagine 'Martians' as monsters with
many eyes.
In studying this planet, astronomers have found that life may be possible on Mars. The first indication of
this is that Mars has seasons, just like Earth. In other words, Earth's seasons, such as spring or summer, occur
on Mars too. Because these seasons exist, it (18)__________ for vegetation and other higher life forms to be
found on Mars.
Astronomers also think that perhaps a small (19)__________ of water vapor could be found on Mars. In
1887, an Italian astronomer, Giovanni Schiaparelli, discovered markings on Mars' surface. These markings
looked like canals. This finding led astronomers to believe that since water exists on Mars, life forms could
exist as well.
However, there are (20)__________ who feel that life on mars is not possible. This is because there is little
or no (21)__________ of oxygen on the planet. In 1965, the Mariner IV capsule managed to take photographs
of the planet. It discovered that the only forms of life found are vegetation like fungi and mosses.

Environmental pollution is one of the impacts of human activities on the earth. It is also one of the biggest
problems of the world today. The environmental pollution is the cause of some diseases that most people do not
know about. There are four types of pollution, namely, air pollution, soil pollution, water pollution and noise
pollution.
Most of the air pollution results from the burning of fossil fuels, motor vehicles, factories, aircraft and
rockets. This can cause acid rain which damages water, soil, and vegetation. Air pollution also contributes to
the greenhouse effect which can lead to a series of environmental problems such as global warming, polar ice
melting, rise of sea levels and loss of land.

Soil pollution is a result of dumping plastic or other inorganic waste in the ground and the overuse of
chemical fertilizers in agriculture. The long-term effects of soil pollution are contaminated vegetation and the
decrease of soil fertility.
Water pollution is a result of dumping pollutants such as detergents, pesticides, oil, and other chemicals in
rivers, which makes the water unclean or contaminated. Rubbish blockages in rivers can also cause pollution.
The effects of water pollution. It includes the destruction of ecosystem of rivers, lakes and the pollution of
groundwater, surface water and seawater.
Noise pollution is caused by loud and annoying sounds of motor vehicles, railway, aircraft and jet engines,
factory machinery and musical instruments. It can cause stress and psychological and health problems for
humans such as increased heart rate and hearing damage.
Environmental pollution is becoming an increasingly serious problem or threat that needs to be taken care
of as soon as possible, not only for the sake of the environment, but also for the people that live in it.

VIII. Read the passage and then decide whether the statements that follow are True or False (1.5 pts)
The World Wide Web was developed by British physicist and computer scientist Timothy Berners-Lee
as a project within the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland.
Berners-Lee combined several existing ideas into a single system to make it easier for physicists to use data
on the Internet. Most important, he added multimedia - the ability to include graphics - to the hyperlink
concept found in a previous Internet service known as gopher. Berners-Lee had begun working with
hypertext in the early 1980s. An early prototype implementation of the Web became operational at CERN in
1989, and the idea quickly spread to universities in the rest of the world.
Groups at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-
Champaign researched and extended Web technology. They developed the first browser that was used at
many sites, named Mosaic, in 1993. To allow the Web to be accessed from a wide variety of computer
systems, researchers built multiple versions of Mosaic. Each version was designed to be used with a specific
operating system, the software that controls the computer. Within a year, computer programmer Marc
Andreessen had formed a commercial company, Netscape Communications Corporation, to build and sell
Web technologies.
31. The scientist who developed the World Wide Web was majoring in computer and physics.______________
32. Mosaic was one of the scientists who developed WWW. ___________________
33. It’s possibly easy for physicists when using internet data thanks to Berners’ ideas. ___________________

Covid vaccine: Side effects and why it can’t give you the virus.
If you haven’t already had a coronavirus vaccine. It’s likely you’ll be offered one at some point. For many
people this can’t come soon enough but others may feel wary about having a new vaccine. (19)__________ it
make them feel unwell. First, let’s look at how some of them work to see why they can’t give you Covid.
mRNA vaccines use a tiny piece of the virus’s genetic code called messenger RNA. This is how Pfizer/
BioNTech and Modern’s vaccine are made. Viral vector vaccines carry DNA that contains a piece of
coronavirus genome. This has been put into a less harmful virus that’s been weakened. So it can’t
(20)__________ you ill. It’s how the Oxford/ Astrazeneca vaccine is made. The DNA or mRNA, work by
instructing your cells to make lots of tiny’s pike proteins. These are usually found on the surface of coronavirus
but they are harmless on their own which is why you can’t catch Covid from these vaccines. But the spike
proteins are enough to make your body think it’s been (21)__________ which gives it the information it need to
protect against future attacks. Other vaccines contain parts of coronavirus and some, like Coronavac and
Covaxin, contain the whole virus. This is inactivated (22)__________ it cannot caused infection. It’s normal for
people to suffer mild symptoms after being vaccinated such as a headache or a raised temperature. This is not
the disease itself, but the body responding well to the vaccine. It shows you’re having an immune response.
Millions of people have already had a vaccine and very (23)__________ have reported severe side effects, like
an allergic reaction. But, as with most medicines there is always a risk. Because of this there are groups of
people who may be advised against vaccination in case it makes them unwell. Those who are allergic to a
specific ingredient for example should be offered an alternative vaccine. Advice varies between countries and
should be available on your government website or through your doctor. (24)__________ around the world
have been working hard to ensure the safety of coronavirus vaccines. And as more people are vaccinated
against Covid we should be able to gradually return to our normal daily lives.

VII. Read the passage and then decide whether the statements that follow are True or False (1.5 pts)
In the generation of hydroelectric power, water is collected or stored at a higher elevation and led
downward through large pipes or tunnels (penstocks) to a lower elevation; the difference in these two elevations

is known as the head. At the end of its passage down the pipes, the falling water causes turbines to rotate. The
turbines in turn drive generators, which convert the turbines’ mechanical energy into electricity. Transformers
are then used to convert the alternating voltage suitable for the generators to a higher voltage suitable for long-
distance transmission. The structure that houses the turbines and generators, and into which the pipes or
penstocks feed, is called the powerhouse.
Hydroelectric power plants are usually located in dams that impound rivers, thereby raising the level of the
water behind the dam and creating as high a head as is feasible. The potential power that can be derived from a
volume of water is directly proportional to the working head, so that a high-head installation requires a smaller
volume of water than a low-head installation to produce an equal amount of power. In some dams, the
powerhouse is constructed on one flank of the dam, part of the dam being used as a spillway over which excess
water is discharged in times of flood. Where the river flows in a narrow steep gorge, the powerhouse may be
located within the dam itself.

Dr. Helen Patricia Sharman is a British chemist who became the first British astronaut and the first woman
to visit the Mir Space Station in 1991.
Sharman was born on 30 May 1963 in Grenoside, Sheffield, where she attended Grenoside Junior and
Infant School, later moving to Greenhill. She received a BSc in chemistry at the University of Sheffield in 1984
and a PhD from Birkbeck, University of London.
After responding to a radio advertisement asking for applicants to be the first British astronaut, Helen
Sharman was selected for the mission live on ITV, on 25 November 1989, ahead of nearly 13,000 other
applicants. The program was known as Project Juno and was a cooperative Soviet Union–British mission co-
sponsored by a group of British companies.
Before flying, Sharman spent 18 months in intensive flight training in Star City. The Project Juno
consortium failed to raise the monies expected, and the program was almost cancelled. With a view to the
flight's impact on international relations, the project proceeded under Soviet expense although as a cost-saving
measure, less expensive experiments were substituted for those in the original plans.
