Sweden can be one of the first countries to stop using cash. In most cities, buses do not take any cash.
Instead, you pay for your ticket by card or mobile phone before you get on. Some businesses only take cards
and there are banks which do not deal with any notes or coins.
In a cashless society, you do not need to worry about having enough change for the bus. You will feel much
more secure as well. Statistics show that since the decrease in the cash economy, there is not as much crime in
Sweden.
However, not all Swedes like the idea. Elderly people complain much about the problems of paying by card.
Small businesses are also unhappy because they have to pay a little money to the bank each time somebody
pays them using a card.
It is not just richer countries that are becoming cashless. Many countries in the developing world have found
that mobile phones are perfect for transferring money. For example, in Kenya, only a few people have a bank
account, but lots of Kenyans have a mobile phone. Now people can pay for things in shops, pay their bills and
their children's school fees, and receive their salary with their phones. Kenya has led a revolution in mobile
banking.

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 39 to 43.
Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know. Although the whale is very
huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water. Whales have tails that end like flippers. With
just a gentle flick, it can propel itself forward. The skin of a whale is so smooth that it does not create any
friction that can slow the whale down. A whale’s breathing hole is located on the top of its head, so it can
breathe without having to completely push its head out of the water. Whales are protected from the cold
seawater by body fat that is called blubber.
Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviors, they are more similar to humans than fish. They live
in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate from cooler to warmer waters. The
young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years. Whales are known not to desert the ill or injured
members; instead, they cradle them.
When whales are in danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them. One such case occurred
in 1988, when three young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to winter and the sea had begun to
freeze over. Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the frozen ice was a great danger to
them. All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice for them to breathe through. Volunteers from all over soon
turned up to help these creatures. They cut holes in the ice to provide more breathing holes for the whales.
These holes would also serve as guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters.

Ostriches
Ostriches are the largest and heaviest birds on earth. They can grow to be as tall as 9 feet and can weigh as
much as 250 pounds. Even though they have wings, they cannot fly. Instead, ostriches have long, powerful legs
that help them to run very fast when they feel threatened. Ostriches use their wings to move themselves
forward and to help them change direction.
Ostriches are native to Africa, where they still live in desert areas and dry, open grasslands called savannahs.
Ostriches can also be found in zoos all over the world. Humans have domesticated ostriches, so now ostriches
live on farms in over a dozen countries, including the United States, China, India, Japan, Brazil and Costa Rica.
They are raised for their meat, skin, and feathers.
Ostriches like to live in small groups called herds. The male ostrich is called a rooster; the female, a hen.
Baby ostriches are called chicks. The female ostrich lays the eggs, but both the male and the female take turns
sitting on the eggs to keep them warm.

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 39 to 43.
Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or course
tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they work out which
one is the best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take action if something goes
wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth. This
means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend the
reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealise the idea of treating everyone
equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first names. This concern
with equality means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are even ready to joke
about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a consequence, some
students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study. Australian notions of privacy
mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and relationships are only discussed with close friends.
While people may volunteer such information, they may resent someone actually asking them unless the
friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to ask someone what they earn.
Question 39: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. A story about Australia B. Australian culture shock
C. Things to do in Australia D. Australian culture
Question 40: The word "them" in paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A. circumstances B. Australians C. options D. students
Question 41: In paragraph 3, most adult Australians call each other by their first names because _______.
A. Australians are difficult to remember people's surnames
B. Australians restrict class discrimination
C. Australians get on well with each other
D. Calling each other by their first names makes them friendlier
Question 42: The word "critical” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. faultfinding B. grateful C. complimentary D. appreciative
Question 43: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Asking someone what they earn is considered fairly polite.
B. Australians are prepared to accept a range of opinions.
C. Students in Australia will be expected to form their own opinions.
D. A teacher or course tutor will not tell students what to do.

answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
Culture is the lens with which we evaluate everything around us; we evaluate what is proper or improper,
normal or abnormal, through our culture. If we are immersed in a culture that is unlike our own, we may
experience culture shock and become disoriented when we come into contact with a fundamentally different
culture. People naturally use their own culture as the standard to judge other cultures; however, having our
own judgment could lead us to discriminate other cultural values which are different from our own because
we do not understand them.
Cultural diversity is important because our country, workplaces, and school increasingly consist of various
cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. We can learn from one another, but first we must have a level of
understanding about each other in order to facilitate collaboration and cooperation. Learning about other
cultures helps us understand different perspectives within the world in which we live and helps dispel
negative stereotypes and personal biases about different groups.
In addition, cultural diversity helps us recognize and respect "ways of being" that are not necessarily our
own, so that we interact with others, we can build bridges to trust, respect, and understanding across cultures.
Furthermore, this diversity makes our country a more interesting place to live, as people from diverse
cultures contribute language skills, new ways of thinking, new knowledge, and different experiences.

RoboCup is a football competition that has taken place every year since 1997. But the players are not
human; they are robots. The competition's full name is ‘Robot Soccer World Cup’, and the aim is to create, by
the middle of the 21st century, a team of robot footballers that are able to play against and beat the winners of
the real World Cup.
In order for robots to play football, robotics companies have had to develop special technologies. A robot
can't just run onto the field and start kicking the ball. So each robot is fitted with a webcam which is connected
to a computer inside the robot. The robot is able to see where the other players are, where the goal is and, most
importantly, where the ball is. They are programmed to make their own decisions and during the match the
robots' creators are not allowed to tell them what to do. The robots are, however, able to communicate with
other members of their team, via a wireless network.
There is a long way to go before robots will be able to compete against humans. They need to become more
intelligent and become able to react more quickly and anticipate the game. But the technologies that are being
developed for scoring goals have other uses as well. It may be possible to develop robots that can be used in
search and rescue, for example, finding people trapped in buildings after earthquakes. They may not be as fun
to watch as real footballers, but at least they don't demand enormous salaries!
(Adapted from Solutions 3rd Edition by Tim Falla and Paul A Davies)

Is synchronized swimming really a sport? Despite the doubt of many people, synchronized swimming is one
of the most underrated but most difficult sports, and it certainly deserves to be in the Olympic Games.
Olympic synchronized swimmers train for as long as eight hours a day, for six days a week− much longer than
most other Olympic sports. The athletes are not just in the water the whole time, they spend hours stretching,
doing Pilates, strength conditioning, diligently training, lifting weights, performing ballet, and even dancing
and doing gymnastics. Because of this, synchronized swimmers are some of the strongest and skillful athletes
to compete in the modern Olympic Games.
Synchronized swimmers must perform many movements and positions called figures while managing their
breathing and coordination with the swimmers around them. To increase their lung capacity, often times
synchronized swimmers will do exercises called “unders” during practices. They will swim a 25-meter lap
underwater, repeating this exercise over and over until they’re beyond exhausted. This exercise is completely
necessary for synchronized swimmers to master, because more than half of a routine is performed underwater.
Although synchronized swimming is a very graceful and beautiful sport, there can be some dangers. The
synchronized swimmers can’t touch the bottom of the pool in a routine, or they’ll be disqualified. They must
continuously move their legs in circular movements, like an egg-beater. Because synchronized swimming is a
contact sport and the swimmer’s kicks are so powerful, swimmers may get hit by other competitors’ legs,
causing concussions or knocking off nose clips, which is an essential piece of equipment. Since it’s fairly
common for a nose clip to get knocked off, many times swimmers will swim with a couple extras.

Members of the royal family have led an outpouring of tributes from around the world at the death of Prince
Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth. Buckingham Palace has spoken of the Queen’s “deep sorrow” after
her husband of 73 years, who had been by her side throughout her reign, died peacefully at Windsor Castle
aged 99 on Friday night (Australian time).
Flags at Buckingham Palace and government buildings across the United Kingdom were lowered to half-
mast, and within an hour of the announcement the public began to lay flowers outside Windsor Castle and
Buckingham Palace. However, mourners have been urged not to gather and leave tributes at royal residences,
and the public has been asked to stay away from funeral events because of the coronavirus pandemic. An
online book of condolence has been launched on the Royal Family’s official website for people to leave
messages of sympathy.
The prince died two months short of his 100th birthday. He had recently spent four weeks in hospital with
an infection where he was treated for a heart condition before being discharged and returned to Windsor early
in March. The Duke of Edinburgh had been by his wife’s side throughout her 69-year reign, the longest in
British history, and during that time earned a reputation for a tough, no-nonsense attitude, and a propensity for
occasional gaffes. A Greek prince, Philip married Elizabeth in 1947, and together they had four children, eight
grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren. He played a key role helping the monarchy adapt to a changing
world in the post-World War II period, and behind the walls of Buckingham Palace was the one key figure the
Queen could trust and turn to, knowing he could tell her exactly what he thought.
The death of the Duke comes in the midst of the worst public health crisis for generations as Britain and
countries around the globe reel from the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Philip will not have
a state funeral nor lie in state for the public to pay their respects ahead of the funeral, the College of Arms
said, with arrangements revised to meet coronavirus restrictions.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
Pollutants are clogging up the atmosphere above our planet and trapping the sun's heat. That makes our
planet warmer, which causes glaciers to melt, crazy weather patterns to develop, and natural disasters spread
like wildfires.
But there are other consequences that people don't always associate with climate change. One surprising fact
about global warming is that it makes people more aggressive.
As the world gets hotter, tempers also get fierier. A new study found that violent crimes and even war
become more likely as temperatures rise. Heart rates tend to be elevated in warm weather, so people are
prepped for a physical response to a situation. That’s not to say we're headed for a violent end as Earth warms
up, though. Advances in everything from technology to health have sparked a decline in conflict. It's just that
global warming might be slowing that decline. Climate change increases the amount of smog in the air and
causes plants to produce more pollen, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. Those combine to
make breathing harder for people, which can be especially tricky for people with asthma and other respiratory
illnesses.
Question 34: What is trapping the sun’s heat?
A. The atmosphere B. Pollutant
C. Glaciers D. The atmosphere above our planet
Question 35: According to the paragraph 1, all of the following are results of our planet getting warmer

Syria crisis response. “It is crucial that (40)_____ access channels to northwest Syria remain open, and that aid
deliveries are scaled up through earmarked funding for the emergency response. Only this will ensure that
children’s mental health needs are covered, and their trauma addressed.”
Snow and bitter winter weather have placed children at great risk of hypothermia(41)_____ they struggle to
survive in sub-zero temperatures. Many survivors have had to sleep in cars, outside, or in makeshift shelters.
Doctors (42)_____ that children are also at risk of exposure to waterborne diseases such as cholera or Hepatitis
A due to the damage to shelters and water infrastructure.
These children are now even more vulnerable to family separation, exploitation, and abuse. As buildings are
deemed unsafe, they also are unable to return to school.
“In northern Syria, in particular, the threats to children from abuse were already extreme. The soaring
poverty, within a warzone, now devastated by earthquakes, has created an unimaginable number of challenges,

largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body
of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state
beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core. The thick
glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface.
The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the
area. Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate
size. It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the
tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains
level because it is floating on the water of the lake.
The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific
community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands
upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have
affected organisms in more exposed areas. The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of
conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining
uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are
looking for possible ways to accomplish this.
Question 44: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. level B. ice C. region D. radar
Question 45: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it .
A. was conducted by air B. made use of radio waves
C. could not determine the lake's exact size D. was controlled by a satellite
Question 46: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if .
A. there were no lake underneath B. the lake were not so big
C. Antarctica were not so cold D. radio waves were not used
Question 47: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. Pieces of dust B. Tiny bubbles C. Tiny organisms D. Rays of light
Question 48: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it
A. can be studied using radio waves B. may contain uncontaminated microbes
C. may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light D. has already been contaminated
Question 49: The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of
A. further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica B. problems with satellite-borne radar equipment
C. ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it D. the harsh climate of Antarctica
Question 50: The purpose of the passage is to .
A. explain how Lake Vostok was discovered B. provide satellite data concerning Antarctica
C. discuss future plans for Lake Vostok D. present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica's geography

answer to each of the questions.
For recent graduates, internships may become a stepping stone to full-time, paid employment. Before
accepting an offer to work as an intern you should get some information about the company's reputation of
procuring their interns and decide accordingly. If they usually hire one intern but have tens of employees
working day and night, it is better to look for other companies. The best place to have an internship position is
an organization that gives you an opportunity to gain real work experience and develop your skills instead of
using you as a cheap worker.
Another thing that should be considered is the size of the company. Sometimes bigger and more
established organizations are better as they have a clear hierarchy and therefore it gives you a clear idea of your
position and the job description and most importantly, it will be easier to get a mentor. Startups with only five
employees are usually more flexible in terms of job responsibilities and therefore it makes it harder to define
your position and get mentors.
After you choose a company, do a little research on the company including the people who work there.
You can do a Google search and comb social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter to dig deep about
the company's hiring managers and what they expect from a new employee.
Social media is also very useful to keep in touch with as many people as you can and build your network.
Do not hesitate to maintain any personal connection you have because those connections could be the first ones
who inform you about a new job opening or any vacant positions you can apply for.
If you aim for a dream job, do not overlook an entry-level position just because it offers a mediocre salary.
Entry-level employees are more likely to be given room to grow and learn from their mistakes. They will also
be able to figure out the job routines and get used to them when they actually get the position they have been
dreaming about.
Question 31: The word "procuring” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. dismissing B. training C. hiring D. interviewing
Question 32: What is the advantage of taking an entry-level position?
A. Getting mediocre salary B. Understanding job routines.
C. Understanding company's policy D. Getting promotion
Question 33: The word “them” in paragraph 4 refers to _____ .
A. employees B. job routines C. positions D. mistakes
Question 34: Why is a more established organization a better place to work as an intern?
A. It has flexible work hours B. It has clear job descriptions.
C. It offers higher salary. D. It offers full-time position
Question 35: Why is networking important for recent graduates?
A. To get information about job openings.
B. To maintain good relationship with fellow interns.
C. To keep in touch with an ex-employer.
D. To get information about job security.
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.
While watching sports on TV, the chances are children will see professional players cheating, having
tantrums, fighting, or abusing officials. In addition, it's highly likely that children will be aware of well-known
cases of sportspeople being caught using drugs to improve their performance. The danger of all this is that it
could give children the idea that winning is all that counts and you should win at all costs. Good behavior and
fair play aren't the message that comes across. Instead, it looks as if cheating and bad behavior are reasonable
ways of getting what you want. This message is further bolstered by the fact that some of these sportspeople
acquire enormous fame and wealth, making it seem they are being handsomely rewarded either despite or
because of their bad behavior.
What can parents do about this? They can regard sport on television as an opportunity to discuss attitudes
and behavior with their children. When watching sports together, if parents see a player swearing at the referee,
they can get the child's opinion on that behavior and discuss whether a player's skill is more important than their
behavior. Ask what the child thinks the player's contribution to the team is. Point out that no player can win a
team game on their own, so it's important for members to work well together.
Another thing to focus on is what the commentators say. Do they frown on bad behavior from players,
think it's amusing or even consider it's a good thing? What about the officials? If they let players get away with
a clear foul, parents can discuss with children whether this is right and what effect it has on the game. Look too
at the reactions of coaches and managers. Do they accept losing with good grace or scowl and show a bad
attitude? Parents can use this to talk about attitudes to winning and losing and to remind children that both are
part of sport.
However, what children learn from watching sports is by no means all negative and parents should make
sure they accentuate the positives too. They should emphasize to children the high reputation that well-
behaved players have, not just with their teammates but also with spectators and the media. They can focus on
the contribution made by such players during a game, discussing how valuable they are in the team. In the
interviews after a game, point out to a child that the well-behaved sportspeople don't gloat when they win or
sulk when they lose. And parents can stress how well these people conduct themselves in their personal lives
and the good work they do for others when not playing. In other words, parents should get their children to
focus on the positive role models, rather than the antics of the badly behaved but often more publicized players.
Question 36: The word "accentuate" in paragraph 4 can be best replaced by _____ .
A. consolidate B. embolden C. actualize D. highlight
Question 37: According to paragraph 2 what should parents teach their children through watching sports?
A. A player's performance is of greater value than his behavior.
B. Cheating is frowned upon by the majority of players.
C. A team with badly-behaved players will not win a game.
D. Collaboration is fundamental to any team's success
Question 38: Which of the following about sport is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Misconduct from sportspeople may go unpunished despite the presence of officials.
B. Reactions of coaches and managers when their teams lose a game may be of educational value.
C. Many sports people help others so as to project good images of themselves
D. A well-behaved player enjoys a good reputation among his teammates, spectators and the media.
Question 39: The word "bolstered” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. energized B. reinforced C. inspired D. represented
Question 40: The word "They" in paragraph 4 refers to _____.
A. parents B. teammates C. children D. spectators
Question 41: Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The influence of model sportspeople on children
B. Moral lessons for children from watching sports
C. Different attitudes toward bad behavior in sport

Question 42: According to paragraph 1. misconduct exhibited by players may lead children to think that _____.
A. it is necessary in almost any game
B. it is disadvantageous to all concerned

wonders of science and technology in a fun way. Clap your hands and colorful bulbs will light up. Start a wheel
spinning and it will set off a fan churning. It is a place to answer our curiosity and capture our imagination.
The centre features over four hundred exhibits covering topics like solar radiation, communication, electronics,

exhibits, push the buttons, turn the cranks or pedals. This is an interesting way to learn science even if you hate
the subject. A Discovery Centre was built for children between the ages of three and twelve. This new
exhibition gallery was completed in 1985. Lately this year a stone-age exhibit was built. It shows us about the
animals and people which were extinct.
