READING Read the passage and choose the best answer: FOOD AROUND THE WORLD It isn't amazing how much time we spend talking about food? "Have you ever eaten ?", "What do you have for lunch?" and so on. And yet, when you travel from one county to another, you find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal, and what other people eat is strange and silly. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times a day. Australians drink large amounts of beer and the French drink wine every day.
  2. The sorts of meat people like to eat also differ from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but never eat goat meat. The Japanese don’t like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish. So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is a little common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habit. Question 28. What is the main idea of the text? A.

Li-Fi Technology Li-Fi technology is a new technology that transmits signals as light instead of radio waves. In urban areas where Wi-Fi networks become congested and there is a lot of noise in the signals, this technology is something that can be of immense use to an individual. The basic requirement of this technology is the available of light! Light is also an electromagnetic wave like radio waves. The only difference is that the former has the ability to transmit data almost ten thousand times faster than latter! The basic process is quite simple to understand. An LED light bulb, any one at all, can be flicked on and off in order to be able to generate signals. A light sensor on a device picks up the digital information sent by the LED, which enables it to be processed by a computer. The question is whether anyone wants to go through the annoying experience of sitting under a flickering light bulb. This is the interesting part. The technology is focusing on make sure that the light bulb is flickered up to billions of times a second! At that rate, the human eye simply cannot notice the light bulb being flicked on and off. However, everything comes with a disadvantage. The major disadvantage here is the fact that these signals cannot penetrate walls. So if you want to move from one room to another, you will need to have a wired bulb present in that room as well. An Estonian startup company called Velmenni took the technology out of the laboratories and brought it into the real-world offices, and industrial environments in Tallinn for the first time. Overall, this sounds like quite a development in the field of communication technology. Read the passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F)

High school students from Southeast Asia protect the environment with inventions that challenge the present situation. They presented their research at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. (ISEF) The team of Thailand presented its research on using Fish scales to create plastic were items such as bowls and plates, with no trace of fish odour in 2011. The team also found out that the material completely breaks down in about 28 days when buried in soil, and does not harm creatures that live in the dirt. In comparison, conventional plastic products release toxins during the manufacturing process and during disposal. The Vietnamese team proposed using solar energy and vacuum techniques to power the desalination process in 2012. Conventional desalination methods are expensive affairs as they tend to consume vast amounts of electricity and fuel. In contrast, solar energy is an inexhaustible and renewable energy source. The Indonesian team built a “ Green Refrigerant Box” in 2014 that, instead of running on electricity, used a hand-operated vacuum pump made from plastic soft drink bottle. The idea was formed because the students’ hometown in rural South Sumatra frequently experiences power cuts, constantly shutting down electrical appliance. Bio-waste materials such as mangosteen skin can be used as a substance to dye cotton fabric, together with onion skin extract. The project of Malaysian students in 2014 not only replaced the usage of hazardous chemical dye with bio-waste material, but also helped recycle bio-waste itself.

The traditional American family The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among different American groups, but today diversity is even more obvious. The most recent government census statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fits the traditional mold of two parents and their children, and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still living at home. An analysis of the remaining one third of the population reveals that about 20 percent of the total number of American households are single people, the most common descriptor being women over sixty-five years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together; the rest, about 7 percent, are single parents, with at least one child. There are several easily identifiable reasons for the growing number of single-parent households. First, the sociological phenomenon of single-parent households reflects changes in cultural attitudes toward divorce and also toward unmarried mothers. A substantial number of adults become single parents as a result of divorce. In addition, the number of children born to unmarried women who choose to keep their children and rear them by themselves has increased dramatically. Finally, there is a small percentage of single-parent families that have resulted from untimely death. Today, these varied family types are typical and, therefore, normal. In addition, because many families live far from relatives, close friends have become a more important part of family life than ever before. The vast majority of Americans claim that they have people in their lives whom they regard as family although they are not related. A view of family that only accepts the traditional nuclear arrangement not only ignores the reality of modern American family life, but also undervalues the familial bonds created in alternatives family arrangements. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the traditional one. Question 33. Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? A. The traditional American family B. The nuclear family C. The current American family D. The ideal family Question 34. The word “current” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by which of the following? A. typical B. Perfect C. present D. traditional Question 35. The word none in paragraph 2 refers to

One fifth of the total surveyed D. Less than one tenth of the total surveyed Question 37. Who generally constitutes a one-person household? A. A single man in his twenties B. An elderly man C. A single woman in her late sixties D. A divorced woman Question 38. The word undervalues in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to A. does not appreciate C. does not include B. does not know about D. does not understand Question 39.
