READING Read the passage about Air pollution and find the answers to given questions that follow AIR POLLUTION We are nowadays becoming more aware of pollution matters that affect dramatically our lives, especially there is growing concern about air pollution. There are some reasons that lead to this kind of pollution. Firstly, the development of industrial zones, factories and building construction areas is producing a large amount of dust and poisonous air. Especially in the developing countries, people nearly pay their attention to the air treatment process that makes the air pollution even worse. Secondly, because of the increasing urbanization, it can be easily seen that there is always a lot of traffic in rush hour and dust on the road these days. The smoke from vehicles and manufacturing exhaust increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the air which makes us feel really hard to breathe. The consequences are very bad. Smog and dust can do serious harm to our health and especially our lungs. We have thousands of asthma and adult respiratory distress cases each year which raise concern about the air quality. Moreover, acid rains are becoming more and more popular which damage crops and fields. Many people believe that air pollution is also causing global warming and it is difficult to improve the air without the efforts of all countries around the world. Questions 47

READING Read the text and answer the questions by choosing the best answers Hi! I am a robot from the year 2050. Today I will reveal some communication methods in the future. It can be easily seen that social networking sites and social media are being developed faster and faster nowadays. However, they will become out of date because scientists will create a new method calling telepathic devices. These devices will help people communicate brain to brain directly and non-verbally. People’s dream to be able to get in touch without words and send text or audio messages by thought will finally become true in 2050. Telepathy is based on brain’s electrical activity. Although the first use is for military, telepathy will be changing human’s life step by step. In addition, you will feel amazed when you see the fully 3D images of subjects which are created by holographic technology. In 2050, this technology really brings higher resolution and faster image presenting. The future’s technology will also solve one more problem of human. It is difference in languages between countries. People will be using instant translation device. It’s like a USB flash drive and it can work offline. This device will help people who speak different language understand each other directly and immediately. 65

The book’s title is “Future world”. It is all about how new technologies will change our world in 2050. According to the book, the anti-aging drugs will help human live healthy lives over 120 years old. Another advanced technology in health care is 3D printing of human organs and body oarts. This will be a good news to diabetes patients because new muscles, bones and even organs will be rebuilt and replace the damaged ones. About the technologies in environment protection, solar power will be the main energy source of the world in 2050. Solar panel will be more popular and help us reduce a large amount of carbon dioxide emission. In addition, a new method of sewage treatment will solve problems of water populltion. Industrial sewage will be treated to become clean water and minerals. There are also some new advanced technology in transportation. Cruise control will reduce the accidents. This device will be very helpful especially for drunk drivers. In the future, a transponder will also be installed in a bicycle and will reduce the crash. Read the book now and we can see that many advanced technologies will bring us a safer and more convenient life 1……….. “ future world” is the title of the book which is introduced at the bookshop 2……….. 3D printing of human organs will help diabetes patients to build new organs and body parts 3……….. it is written in the book that by 2050, we will primarily use the energy generated from the Sun 4……….

READING Read the passage and answer the following questions MERCURY Among eight planets in our Solar system, Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and it needs only 88 days to complete an orbit around the Sun. According to Greek mythology, Mercury is the messenger of Gods (Hermes). Mercury is a small planer which bears a strong resemblance to the Moon with the little larger size and rocky surface and many bowl-shaped cavities. Because of its position in the Solar system, the temperature on the sunny side of Mercury can reach over 800 degrees but -300 degrees is the other side’s temperature. Being cooler than ony Venus, the hosttest planet, the climate on Mercury is extremely severe which makes it hard to visit and explore. Two spacecrafts have sent to Mercury, the first was in 1974 and scientists had to wait three decades to visit Mercury the second time in 2004. Some people believe that there is no water in Mercury but some information collected from Radar showed that ice exists on the Northern pole of this planet. Small Mercury has no moons and no atmosphere because of its too little gravity (38% the gravity of Earth). There is no report showing about life existence in Mercury yet. 1.
