IX,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.
As Hurricane Florence zeroes in on the southeastern US, scientists are warning that climate
change is exacerbating the effect of tropical storms. The powerful Category 4 Atlantic weatherfront is slow moving, an increasingly common phenomenon that poses a different manner of
threat to states in its path. In the event that Florence stalls or comes to a halt altogether over land,
it has the potential to deposit catastrophic quantities of rainwater, posing a risk of severe flash
flooding.
While the high winds and waves generated by faster storms moving inland from the ocean pose a
significant danger to human life and property, the effect of heavy rain can be just as devastating,
if not more so. When Hurricane Harvey hit in August 2017, it dropped 60 inches of rain over
Houston, Texas, flooding the streets, leaving 93 dead and hundreds more having to be rescued by
boat, causing millions of dollars-worth of damage.
James Kossin of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration published a study in the
journal Nature in June suggesting that slow-moving tropical cyclones, which would include
those like Florence and Harvey, have become more common over the last 70 years, dropping in
speed by 10 per cent in that time. According to Mr Kossin, global warming as a result of manmade air pollution is causing the poles to become warmer, which in turn reduces the difference
in temperature between the Arctic and Antarctic and the equator, altering atmospheric pressure
and slowing down the whipping currents of wind that pass between them and drive hurricanes.
Question 36: The best title for this passage could be …………………..
A. danger of hurricane in US
B. climate change and the threat from tropical storms
C. climate change and people activities
D. storms cause millions of dollars-worth of damage
Question 37: Which statement about Hurricane Harvey is probably TRUE according to the
passage?
A. It caused the floods in all the streets in US.
B. It caused a significant danger to people and property.
C. It made citizens in Texas suffer from floods and damage.
D. It made residents lose millions of dollars.
Question 38: The word “which” in paragraph 3 refers to ………………….?
A. tropical cyclones
B. a study
C. Florence
D. Harvey
Question 39: In the 3rd paragraph, James Kossin suggests that …………………….
A. over the last 70 years, human activities have made global warming worse.
B. over the last 70 years, people causes the poles to become hotter.
C. over the last 70 years, Florance and Harvey are common in Texas.
D. over the last 70 years, slow-moving tropical cyclones have become more common.
Question 40: The word “altering” in paragraph 3 means …………………….
A. fastening
B. changing
C. remaining
D. keeping
X,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.
FOR A QUICK PICKUP
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going
for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon became
the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting out so-called
“energy drinks.” These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement drink
for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer’s body and mind. In order to do
this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain chemicals to their
beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally produces for energy. The
vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem like a sure bet to give a person
energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show that
all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person’s energy level. Another problem is that
there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients in energy
drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all
the claims energy drinks make. He says, “It is plausible if you put these twelve things together, you will
get a good result.” However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact on
the body. “We just don’t know at this point,” he says.
Question 41: The beverages mentioned in the first paragraph aim to give consumers ______.
A. caffeine
B. sugar
C. more energy
D. more choices

Question 43: According to the passage, what makes it difficult for researchers to know if an

Question 44: The word “plausible” in the passage is closest in meaning to________.
