When Google Earth was set up in 2005, satellite technology changed forever the way we see the world
and we all became global tourists. Now anybody can 'visit' anywhere on Earth- places you never imagined
visiting, such as Antarctica and the Sahara Desert.
All you need for your virtual world trip is a computer and an Internet connection. But Google Earth is not
just a fun way to explore the world. It can also inform people about environmental issues such as
deforestation, endangered species and climate change. When Google Earth first appeared, nobody could have

imagined that an Amazonian tribe would use this tool to help them protect their environment and their
culture.
The Surui tribe live in the middle of the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. They had not had any contact with
the outside world until 1969. Then illegal loggers started to invade their land and destroy the forest. Without
the forest, the Surui community would not survive and they knew they had to take action. So they elected
Chief Almir as one of the leaders of the tribe.
Chief Almir first came across Google Earth on a visit to an Internet café. He immediately realised that he
could use the interactive maps to tell people about the illegal logging that was destroying his people's
environment.
The tribal chief wanted to show the effects of deforestation, not only on his local community, but on a
global scale too. He understood that deforestation was destroying plants and wildlife and causing global
warming. He contacted Google and then travelled from the Amazon rainforest to Google headquarters in
California and told them his story. They discussed ways of working together.
Google sent trainers to teach Surui teenagers how to use mobile phones to create YouTube videos and
then upload them to Google Earth to share their way of life with people around the world. For five years the
Surui tribe and Google worked as a team. They combined modern technology with the tribe's traditional
knowledge of the rainforest. Rebecca Moore, Google employee, said that the Surui people and Google had
worked together to bring the story of the forest to the global community.

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.
The generation gap, which refers to a broad difference between one generation and another, especially
between young people and their parents, usually leads to numerous conflicts. Such family conflicts can
seriously threaten the relationship between parents and children at times.
It goes without saying that, however old their children are, parents still regard them as small kids and keep in
mind that their offspring are too young to protect themselves cautiously or have wise choices. Therefore,
they tend to make a great attempt to help their children to discover the outside world. Nevertheless, they
forget that as children grow up, they want to be more independent and develop their own identity by creating
their own opinions, thoughts, styles and values about life.
One common issue that drives conflicts is the clothes of teenagers. While teens are keen on wearing
fashionable clothes which try to catch up with the youth trends, parents who value traditional clothes believe
that those kinds of attire violate the rules and the norms of the society. It becomes worse when the expensive
brand name clothes teens choose seem to be beyond the financial capacity of parents.
Another reason contributing to conflicts is the interest in choosing a career path or education between parents
and teenagers. Young people are told that they have the world at their feet and that dazzling future
opportunities are just waiting for them to seize. However, their parents try to impose their choices of
university or career on them regardless of their children's preference.
Indeed, conflicts between parents and children are the everlasting family phenomena. It seems that the best
way to solve the matter is open communication to create mutual trust and understanding.
22. Why do most parents still treat their teenage children like small kids?
A. Because children usually make mistakes
B. Because they think that children are too young to live independently.
C. Because they think that children can't protect themselves well.
D. Because they think that children often quarrel with them.
23. The word “offspring” in the second paragraph refers to________.
A. parents B. children C. mind D. grandparents
24. What do parents usually do to help their children as they are young?
A. They prepare everything for their children.
B. They take care of their children carefully.
C. They encourage their children to explore the outside world.
D. They want their children to be independent.
25. Which kinds of clothes do teenagers want to wear?
A. latest fashionable clothes B. casual clothes
C. traditional clothes D. expensive sports clothes
26. The word “seize” in paragraph 4 is CLOSEST in meaning to ______ .
A. catch B. find C. impose D. choose
