    1. Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy stored in rocks in the Earth's crust, usually due to rock masses straining against each other and fracturing. This causes seismic waves. 2. Most earthquakes occur along fault lines in the Earth's crust. Around 50,000 earthquakes are detected annually, with around 100 being large enough to cause significant damage. 3. The development of seismology in the 20th century helped increase understanding of earthquakes and why and how they occur.

    Read the text and answer the question!

    Earthquake is any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth’s rocks. Seismic waves are
    produced when some form of energy stored in Earth’s crust is suddenly released, usually when masses of rock straining against
    one another suddenly fracture and “slip.” Earthquakes occur most often along geologic faults, narrow zones where rock masses
    move in relation to one another. The major fault lines of the world are located at the fringes of the huge tectonic plates that make
    up Earth’s crust.

    Little was understood about earthquakes until the emergence of seismology at the beginning of the 20th century. Seismology,
    which involves the scientific study of all aspects of earthquakes, has yielded answers to such long-standing questions as why and
    how earthquakes occur. About 50,000 earthquakes large enough to be noticed without the aid of instruments occur annually over
    the entire Earth. Of these, approximately 100 are of sufficient size to produce substantial damage if their centers are near areas of
    habitation. Very great earthquakes occur on average about once per year. Over the centuries they have been responsible for
    millions of deaths and an incalculable amount of damage to property.

    A. suggestions to emerge the seismology to detect the earthquake


    B. examples of the substantial damage that caused by the earthquake
    C. the development of seismology to identify the earthquake earlier
    D. factors that cause the earthquake and seismic wave
    E. the reason why we need the seismology

    2. What is the author’s attitude towards the topic of the passage?

    A. Concerned
    B. Critical
    C. Informative
    D. Satisfied
    E. Optimistic

    3. What will happen when seismic waves pass through Earth’s rocks?

    A. It will answer why and how earthquakes occur.


    B. It may cause an earthquake.
    C. It will store some form of energy in Earth’s crust.
    D. The masses of rock will slip.
    E. It may produce seismic waves.

    The question is based on the following passage.

    TikTok is often applauded for its recommendation system; once it’s finely tuned, the app becomes one of the best scrolling
    experiences. My personal theory is that’s why TikTok is so addicting—everything is so perfectly curated to your specific interests,
    it’s hard to put the phone down once you’re sucked in. However, TikTok’s recommendation algorithm still has its own flaws that
    the company brings up in its new blog post.

    “One of the inherent challenges with recommendation engines is that they can inadvertently limit user experience–what is
    sometimes referred to as a ‘filter bubble’,” the post reads. It states that by optimizing for personalization and relevance, there is a
    risk of presenting an increasingly homogenous stream of videos.

    Another issue that TikTok takes seriously is not surfacing dangerous content. This is an issue that YouTube in particular has faced
    criticism over for many years. According to TikTok, content that has graphic material like medical procedures or “legal
    consumption of regulated goods,” like alcohol, may not be eligible for recommendation because it could come across as “shocking
    if surfaced as a recommended video to a general audience”. That’s why many creators on TikTok will upload a video more than
    once or talk openly about feeling shadow banned over particular content.
    4. The writer of the passage intends to ...

    A. illustrate TikTok users' concerns about the app's recommendation system


    B. oppose the idea that TikTok has a sophisticated recommendation system
    C. warn the readers about TikTok’s poor recommendation system
    D. inform about the downsides of TikTok's recommendation system
    E. explain how TikTok resolves the recommendation system issue

    5. On the basis of the passage, it can be predicted that ...

    A. Video creators on TikTok will avoid creating dangerous content.


    B. TikTok will be considered a safer social media platform compared to YouTube.
    C. Videos with sensitive content can only be recommended for a specific scope of viewers.
    D. Other social media platforms will look up to TikTok for its good recommendation system.
    E. Users will be exposed to topics outside their preferences in their recommendation feeds.

    Loneliness and social isolation in older adults are serious public health risks affecting a significant number of people in the United
    States and putting them at risk for dementia and other serious medical conditions. A report from the National Academies of
    Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) points out that more than one-third of adults aged 45 and older feel lonely, and
    nearly one-fourth of adults aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated. Older adults are at increased risk for
    loneliness and social isolation because they are more likely to face factors such as living alone, the loss of family or friends,
    chronic illness, and hearing loss.

    Although it’s hard to measure social isolation and loneliness precisely, there is strong evidence that many adults aged 50 and older
    are socially isolated or lonely in ways that put their health at risk. Recent studies found that social isolation significantly increased
    a person’s risk of premature death from all causes, a risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity. Poor
    social relationships (characterized by social isolation or loneliness) was also associated with a 29% increased risk of heart disease.
    Loneliness among heart failure patients was associated with a nearly 4 times increased risk of death, 68% increased risk of
    hospitalization, and 57% increased risk of emergency department visits.

    6. The writer's intention in writing the passage is to ....

    A. disseminate the information about the impacts loneliness and social isolation in the elderly
    B. encourage people to be more concerned about the elderly who are lonely and socially isolated
    C. prove that the elderly experiencing loneliness and social isolation actually exist in the United States
    D. convey the pain and sadness experienced by lonely and socially isolated elderly based on research
    E. tell about the loneliness and unhappiness felt by the elderly who are socially isolated, as well as research findings

    7. To whom is the text likely addressed?

    A. Families staying with elderly


    B. People living around elderly
    C. Pensioners who have just left their jobs
    D. Senior citizens living alone in the suburbs
    E. Employers having old workers in their companies

    8. From the last paragraph, we can infer that …

    A. Those who experience loneliness may develop heart disease.


    B. Feeling lonely aggravates the heart condition of the elderly.
    C. Heart disease is the worst ailment that a lonely older person will suffer from.
