Read the passage and decide if the statements are TRUE or FALSE

With the development of science and technology, more and more energy is used every day. Nowadays, many rural areas in Vietnam have been electrified, and more electricity is needed. If people waste energy, it will quickly run out. Students at school should learn how to save energy, for example, they should turn off electric lights when they leave their classrooms.

Nowadays, with the development of information technology, learning is not very difficult any more. Online learning is very convenient and cheap because we just stay at home and use a computer. Many universities in the world have been offering classes online for many years. Students like them because they do not go to school at a set timetable to listen to their professors. Instead, they go online and interact with other students and the teachers through text or voice chat. Of course, they have to do assignments, write papers, and take tests, but everything is done online. If students can do everything well enough, they will get a degree. In short, it is easy for us to learn online now. I hope more and more educational organizations have such programs online.

2.      Learning online means students don’t have to go to school every day.                               ________

3.      Students like learning online because it helps them get a degree easily.                              ________

4.      Students don’t need their teachers any more when learning online.                                    ________

5.      What is the main idea of the passage above?

-          The importance of education

-          Showing how to get a degree

-          The advantages of learning online

-          Showing how to learn online

6.      Which of the following sentence is NOT TRUE?

-          Learning online is popular nowadays.

-          Students do nothing but chat with their friends when learning online.

-          Getting a degree is possible when students learn online.

-          The role of professors is still important although students learn online.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the question.

Urban populations interact with their environment. Urban people change their environment through their consumption of Food, energy, water, and land. And in turn, the polluted urban environment affects the health and quality of life of the urban population. People who live in urban areas have very different consumption patterns than residents in rural areas. For example, urban populations consume much more food, energy, and durable goods than rural populations. In China during the 1970s, the urban populations consumed twice as much pork as the rural populations who were raising the pigs. With economic development, the difference in consumption declined as the rural populations ate better diets. But even a decade later, urban populations had 60 percent more pork in their diets than rural populations. The increasing consumption of meat is a sign of growing affluence in Beijing; in India where many urban residents are vegetarians, greater prosperity is seen in higher consumption of milk.

Urban populations not only consume more food, but they also consume more durable goods, In the early 1990s, Chinese households in urban areas were two times more likely to have a TV, eight times more likely to have a washing machine, and 25 times more likely to have a refrigerator than rural households. This increased consumption is a function of urban labor markets, wages, and household structure.

Urban consumption of energy helps create heat islands that can change local weather patterns and weather downwind from the heat islands. The heat island phenomenon is created because cities radiate heat back into the atmosphere at rate 15 percent to 30 percent less than rural areas. The combination of the increased energy consumption and difference in albedo (radiation) means that cities are warmer than rural areas (0.6 to 1.3 C), And these heat islands become traps for atmospheric pollutants. Cloudiness and fog occur with greater frequency. Precipitation is 5 percent to 10 percent higher in cities; thunderstorms and hailstorms are much more frequent, but snow days in cities are less common.

Urbanization also affects the broader regional environments. Regions downwind from large industrial complexes also see increases in the amount of precipitation, air pollution, and the number of days with thunderstorms. Urban areas affect not only the weather patterns, but also the runoff patterns for water. Urban areas generally generate more rain, but they reduce the infiltration of water and lower the water tables. This means that runoff occurs more rapidly with greater peak flows. Flood volumes increase, as do floods and water pollution downstream.

Many of the effects of urban areas on the environment are not necessarily linear. Bigger urban areas do not always create more environmental problems. And small urban areas can cause large problems. Much of what determines the extent of the environmental impacts is how the urban populations behave - their consumption and living patterns - not just how large they are.

In which paragraph does the writer mention the temperature in urban areas is higher than that of rural ones?

A. Paragraph 3

B. Paragraph 4

C. Paragraph 5

D. Paragraph 6

Read the passage below carefully, and then decide whether the statements are true (T), false (F) or not given (N)

The meanings of the terms science and technology have changed significantly from one generation to another. More similarities than differences, however, can be found between the terms.

Both science and technology imply a thinking process, both are concerned with causal relationships in the material world, and both employ an experimental methodology that results in empirical demonstrations that can be verified by repetition. Science, at least in theory, is less concerned with the practicality of its results and more concerned with the development of general laws, but in practice science and technology are inextricably involved with each other. The varying interplay of the two can be observed in the historical development of such practitioners as chemists, engineers, physicists, astronomers, carpenters, potters, and many other specialists. Differing educational requirements, social status, vocabulary, methodology, and types of rewards, as well as institutional objectives and professional goals, contribute to such distinctions as can be made between the activities of scientists and technologists; but throughout history the practitioners of “pure” science have made many practical as well as theoretical contributions.

Question: Science, at least in theory, is more concerned with the development of general laws and less concerned with the practicality of its results.

A. True

B. False

C. Not given
