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 22 to 26
A. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
The ruined temples of Angkor are perhaps one of the mast impressive Seven Wonders of the World. Located in modern day Cambodia near Lake TonIe Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Asia, Angkor was the seat of power for the Khmer Empire from the ninth to the fifteenth century. The ruins of Angkor are documented as same .of the mast impressive ones in the world, rivaling the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Why this mighty civilization died out is a question that archeologists are now only beginning to ponder. The answer, it turns out, may be linked with the availability of fresh water.
One possible explanation far the downfall of the Khmer Empire has to do with the inhabitants' irrigation system. The temple and palaces of Angkor were constructed around a series of artificial reservoirs and canals which were annually flooded to capacity by the Mekong River. Once filled, they were used to irrigate the surrounding rice patties and farmland during the course of the year. Farmers were completely dependent upon the water for their crucial rice crop. Without consistent irrigation, the farmers would have been unable to maintain functional crop production.
Scientists speculate that toward the end of the Khmer Empire the hydraulic systems of the reservoirs and canals broke down. The construction of hundreds of sandstone temples and palaces required an enormous amount of physical labor. In addition, as the capital of the Khmer Empire, Angkor contained upwards of one hundred thousand people who resided in and around Angkor. In order to feed so many people, the local farmers were driven to grow food quicker and more efficiently. After centuries of continual use, the irrigation system was pushed beyond its capacity. Soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and the loss of water led to decrease in the food supply. With less food available, the people of Angkor slowly began to migrate to other parts of Cambodia thus leaving the marvelous city of Angkor to be swallowed by the jungle. Therefore, it is speculated that the Khmer Empire may have fallen victim to its own decrepit infrastructure.

Traveling is one of the most popular forms of recreation in the USA. Most American employees receive an annual vacation with pay, and it is a good time off for traveling. Traveling within the country is popular because foreign travel generally takes more time and money. However, Americans who wish to vacation outside the USA are free to go almost anywhere. Obtaining a passport is a routine matter. Every year about 13 million Americans travel abroad. The most popular vacation periods are during the summer and during the two-week school break on the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. These periods are also the most crowded and generally the most expensive time to travel, so people who can adjust their schedules sometimes choose vacation in the autumn. American vacationers often travel by car. Most families have a car, and those who do not have a car can rent one. Cars are usually the economical way to travel, especially for the families. It is also fairly fast and convenient. Excellent highways connect the major cities. They enable vacationers to travel at an almost steady speed of 55 to 65 miles an hour.

Read a text about how to protect the environment. Circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the best answer to each of the questions.
Going Green
Human beings and animals have been facing many environmental issues, such as climate change, air pollution, emission of greenhouse gases, deforestation and many other serious problems. As a consequence, people's health problems involving the respiratory system and kidneys are getting worse and worse, animals' habitats are destroyed, and many species are becoming extinct and endangered at an alarming rate. Hence, we need to take action by doing the following activities.
Recycling
It is advised that rubbish should be categorised into different types with three different colours: the blue, the green and the black bin. The first bin is for paper, plastic, and glass. The second bin or the compost bin is for organic waste, such as banana skins, coffee grounds or apple cores. The last one is for miscellaneous items which cannot be taken to a recycling centre.
Saving forests
First and foremost, people's awareness of conserving animals' habitats should be raised by frequent campaigns on local and global scales. Besides planting more trees, people can use fewer wood products, such as paper napkins, paper towels or books. Instead, these items can be replaced by cloth napkins, cloth towels, e-books and recycled-paper books. For those who go camping in the forests, they must extinguish their campfires before leaving these places.
Saving energy
One of the ways to save energy is to use renewable energy like solar and wind energy which is not used up as fossil fuels like coal, natural gases and oil. For a household, a solar panel can generate enough electricity for heating water, lights and other necessary appliances. Along with this, using energy-efficient lights is a good solution for saving not only the environment but also your wallet
