There have never been so (29)___________ people living in cities in quake zones because the worse the
damage can be from a big quake, bringing fires, tsunamis, and the loss of life, property, and maybe an entire city.
We understand how earthquakes happen but not exactly where or when they will occur. Until recently, quakes
seemed to occur at random. In Japan, government research is now showing that quakes can be predicted. At the
Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo, Koshun Yamaoka says earthquakes do follow a
(30)__________ —pressure builds in a zone and must be released. But a colleague, Naoyuki Kato, adds that
laboratory experiments indicate that a fault slips a little before it breaks. If this is true, predictions can be made
based on the detection of slips.
Research in the U.S. may support Kato’s theory. In Parkfield, California earthquakes occur about every 22
years on the San Andreas Fault. In the 1980s, scientists drilled into the fault and set up equipment to record
activity to look for warning signs. (31)________ an earthquake hit again, it was years of schedule. At first the
event seemed random but scientists drilled deeper. By 2005 they reached the bottom of the fault, two miles down,
and found something. Data from two quakes reported in 2008 show there were two “slips’—places (32)_______
the plates widened—before the fault line broke and the quakes occurred.
We are learning more about these destructive events every day. In the future we may be able to track
earthquakes and design an early-warning system. So if the next great earthquake does (33)_______ in Tokai,
about 100 miles southwest of Tokyo, as some scientists think, the citizens of Tokai may have advance warning.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
Questions from 34 to 38.
Most Americans say they know at least some of their neighbors, but only about three-in-ten say they know
all or most of them. Rural residents are more likely than those in urban or suburban areas to say they know all or
most of their neighbors, but they don’t necessarily interact with their neighbors more than their counterparts in
other community types.
Overall, Americans tend to be trusting of their neighbors, but this is particularly the case in suburban and
rural areas. About six-in-ten in these types of community say they have a neighbor they would trust with a key to
their home, compared with about half in urban areas.
The longer people have lived in their community, the more likely they are to have a neighbor they would
trust with a key to their home. But even among those who report that they have lived in their community for less
than one year, 34% say they would be comfortable with a neighbor having their keys. Meanwhile, 64% of those
who have lived in their community for six or more years and 47% of those who have done so for one to five years
say the same. Those who own their home are more likely than renters to say they would be comfortable with a
neighbor having a set of keys to their home (67% vs. 45%).
When asked to describe their neighbors, people in rural areas are far more likely than those in cities and
suburbs to say all or most of their neighbors share their race or ethnicity. Suburbanites are somewhat more likely
than their urban and rural counterparts to say their neighbors are the same social class as they are, while relatively
few across community types say all or most of their neighbors share their political views.

Question 35: According to paragraph 2, how many Americans in suburban and rural areas wouldn’t have enough
belief in their neighbors to have a key to their home?
A. about 60% B. about 50% C. about 40% D. about 30%
Question 36: The phrase “the same” in paragraph 3 refers to __________.
A. they would be comfortable with a neighbor having their keys
B. they have lived in their community for six or more years
C. they have done so for one to five years
D. they have lived in their community for less than one year
Question 37: The word “share” in paragraph 4 most probably means _____________.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
Questions from 39 to 45.
While the debate regarding how much screen time is appropriate for children rages on among educators,
psychologists, and parents, it’s another emerging technology in the form of artificial intelligence and machine
learning that is beginning to alter education tools and institutions and changing what the future might look like in
education. It is expected that artificial intelligence in U.S. education will grow by 47.5% from 2017-2021
according to the Artificial Intelligence Market in the US Education Sector report. Even though most experts
believe the critical presence of teachers is irreplaceable, there will be many changes to a teacher’s job and to
educational best practices.
AI has already been applied to education primarily in some tools that help develop skills and testing systems. As
AI educational solutions continue to mature, the hope is that AI can help fill needs gaps in learning and teaching
and allow schools and teachers to do more than ever before. AI can drive efficiency, personalization and
streamline admin tasks to allow teachers the time and freedom to provide understanding and adaptability—
uniquely human capabilities where machines would struggle. By leveraging the best attributes of machines and
teachers, the vision for AI in education is one where they work together for the best outcome for students. Since
the students of today will need to work in a future where AI is the reality, it’s important that our educational
institutions expose students to and use the technology.
Artificial intelligence tools can help make global classrooms available to all including those who speak
different languages or who might have visual or hearing impairments. Presentation Translator is a free plug-in for
PowerPoint that creates subtitles in real time for what the teacher is saying. This also opens up possibilities for
students who might not be able to attend school due to illness or who require learning at a different level or on a
particular subject that isn’t available in their own school. AI can help break down silos between schools and
between traditional grade levels.
Question 39: Which of the following best describes the main topic of the passage?
A. The roles of teachers in the time of technology
B. Is AI appropriate for students using in classrooms?
C. How AI is used in education D. What AI tools are used in the classrooms

Question 42: According to paragraph 2, what can AI do to help teachers in the classrooms?
A. It can work to give the best outcome for students.
B. It can urge the students to get familiar to the technology before working in the future.
C. It can help teachers to control the class more effectively.
D. It can drive efficiency, personalization and streamline admin tasks.
Question 43: The following are the benefits of Presentation Translator mentioned in paragraph 3, EXCEPT
___________.
A. creating subtitles in real time for what is being said in the lessons
B. giving chance for the students to follow the lessons without attending school because of sickness
C. allowing students to learn the particular subject unavailable at their own school
D. providing opportunities for students to learn different languages
