Nowadays, more and more people prefer buying something via the internet to shopping at traditional markets or supermarkets. Nevertheless, in my opinion, shopping online has both negative and positive aspects.

The first advantage of online shopping is that buyers save more time than other ways of shopping. For example, to buy a motorbike, if you go to shops, you can spend all day on asking about price and information of the product. Meanwhile, if you surf the internet, you can get full information about the product in several clicks; especially, it can be sent fully by the selling staff as soon as you visit their websites. In addition, the price of product bought online is usually lower than that of one bought in shops. There are now a great number of website supplying price comparing functions; as a consequence, customers can choose the same products with the best price, so they can save a large amount of not only time but also money. Lastly, people rarely buy low- quality products if they read carefully feedbacks from previous customers. Today, various websites public truly buyers’ comments about their goods, so customers often choose products having the largest number of good comments.

On the other hand, people may buy low- quality products. Many online stores usually hide bad characters of products, but they only show good sides aiming to attract customers’ attention. For instance, once my friend visited a fashion website in which a skirt that she was satisfied with was sold with a reasonable price. She decided to buy it immediately; as a consequence, its length was so short that she could not wear it when she went out. In addition, many people may waste their money on buying unnecessary items because many shops usually recommend customers to buy one more products through attractive advertisements. Especially, buyers’ private information such as ID numbers or bank accounts can be stolen when websites are attacked by hackers. Consequently, their money in bank account can be stolen or their private lives can be annoyed.

Indeed, buying in the online shops has many benefits such as saving time, getting lower prices and receiving high-quality product from reputable stores. Nevertheless, this buying style have some disadvantages, and to avoid these negative points, customers should find out carefully products, stores and payment methods.

Shopping in a supermarket has some great advantages. Firstly, it is good for people who like to see and touch things before buying. Before buying new clothes, you can try them on to make sure they fit well. Second, everyone can know the product's expiration date. If the product is expired, they can return the product to the supermarket. Don't worry about bargain, they are fixed price items so you can never do that. Finally, going to the supermarket is still a great choice.

Online learning has become increasingly popular due to its convenience and comfort. Students have more freedom to learn at their own pace and in their own environment. This independence can be beneficial for those who struggle with traditional classroom settings. However, online learning can also be difficult to concentrate on, with many distractions on the internet. There is also no real interaction with teachers or classmates, which can lead to a lack of motivation and engagement. Additionally, online learning can be harmful to the eyes due to prolonged screen time. It also requires expensive equipment and a reliable internet connection, which can be a financial burden for some students.

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.

Thousands of years before Columbus came to the New World, the American Indians entered North America by crossing a narrow strip of land that once connected Alaska and Siberia. The migrants entered a new world in which there were no people at all. But there were many animals to hunt, and there were forests where nuts, roots, and berries could be gathered.

When the Europeans came to the New World, the Indians, at first, taught the settlers how to plant corn, bake fish, make canoes, and smoke tobacco. In return, the white introduced horses, guns, gunpowder, and alcohol. But at last, there were struggles for land, and the struggles could have only one result – war. When the wars were over, all Indians were moved to large tracts of land called reservations. Now, some of them, embittered by mistreatment, are determined to preserve their tribal life; some wish to modernize the reservations. These alternatives, with many variations, are what most Indians have chosen – a future in modern technology and education, or the revival of ancient tradition and treaties.

                       The Indians moved to a new world which was ___________ .

 A:inhabited by primitive men.            B:inhabited in by American migrants.          C:completely uninhabited by other people.                                                                                               D:once settled by Europeans.

It provides us with much information from every corner of the world. It helps us to know about what is happening on the earth and updates us with the most recent news. Also, the internet helps us to widen our social network with many friend in every country in the world.

Sometimes we can spend times listening to music or watching films on some websites. However, the internet also causes us many problems. The first one is to our health. Some people spend too much time searching and playing on the internet, which is not good for their brains and eyes. Next, it also prevents us from some activities such as reading books or going our with our friends. In addition, some programmes on the internet contain some bad content such as violence or sex which are not good for young people's mental lifem.

It displays the sun's energy that reaches us and how much of that energy absorbed and reflected is by the earth and___(36)___atmosphere. Solar energy reaches earth as electromagnetic radiation. Once the energy reaches earth, some of it is absorbed by the atmosphere, ___(37)___ clouds.

Some of it makes it to the earth's surface, and is ___(38)___ by land and oceans. The ___(39)___ of energy absorbed affects temperature. The energy ___(40)___ is not absorbed by the earth or its atmosphere is reflected. back out to space in the same wavelengths in which it came to earth. On ___(41)___, the amount of energy coming in is equal to the amount of energy going out. Therefore, we say the earth's energy budget is balanced. ___(42)___ more energy was coming in than was going out, the earth's temperature would increase. On the other hand, if too much energy is reflected, and not absorbed, we'll see a ___(43)___ in the earth's temperatures. Of all of the sun's energy that hits the Earth, about 70% is absorbed by ___(44)___ land, ocean, atmosphere and clouds and about 30% is reflected back into space.

X. 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 (10 pts)

In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources. Fortunately, there are a number of readily available, renewable resources that are both cost- effective and earth – friendly. Two such resources are solar power and geothermal power.

Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the needs of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar energy is easily harnessed through the use of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. In theUSalone, more than 100, 000 homes are equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts of the world, including many developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily.

Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth. Hot water and steam that are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which is produces electricity. Geothermal energy is 50, 000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel resources. And as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple. A prime example of effective geothermal use inIceland, a region of high geothermal activity where over 80 percent of private homes are heated by geothermal power.

Solar and geothermal energy are just two of promising renewable alternatives to conventional energy sources. The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on global scale.
