Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Hurricanes are violent storms that cause millions of dollars in property damage and take many lives. They can be extremely dangerous, and too often people underestimate their fury.
Hurricanes normally originate as a small area of thunderstorms over the Atlantic Ocean west of the Cape Verde Island during August or September. For several days, the area of the storm increases and the air pressure falls slowly. A center of low pressure forms, and winds begin to WHIRL around it. It is blown westward, increasing in size and strength.
Hurricanes hunters then fly out the storm in order to determine its size and intensity and to trace its direction. They drop radiosondes, or instrument for recording temperature, air pressure, and humidity, into the storm. They also look at the size of waves on the ocean, the clouds, and the eye of the storm. The eye is a region of relative calm and clear skies in the center of the hurricane. People often lose their lives by leaving shelter when the eye has arrived, only to be caught in tremendous winds again when the eye has passed.

Two of the most dangerous storms which affect America are hurricanes and tornadoes. They are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction.

Every year homes are destroyed by their fury anf often lives are lost. Most people who live near the coast are forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storms passes. Floods are caused along the coast by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal water level. The high winds, coastal flooding and heavy rains associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage. Hurricanes usually develop between July and October. Once they hit land they tremendous power with driving rain and wind.

Tornadoes are violent low-pressured storms. These storms occur most often during the summer months are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain. The sky turn black as dust is sucked up into the air. Tornadoes are capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground. They can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such as homes and trains.

Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and property every year. Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they can't be stopped or ignored.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer.

We use many different energy sources to do work for us. Energy sources are classified into two groups - renewable and nonrenewable. Non-renewable energy sources are those that take millions of years to form and will run out some day. It is energy that comes from fossil fuels such as coal, crude oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels are mainly made up of carbon and were formed millions of years ago. The chemical reaction which takes place when we burn fossil fuels releases carbon compounds such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide into the air. Carbon dioxide is one of the green house gases which is contributing to global warming and air pollution. On the other hand, renewable energy sources will never run out, are better for the environment and do not cause pollution. Renewable energy is often called green energy because it is a natural energy, always available and does not have to be formed like nonrenewable energy. The green energy is always there. For example, the Sun consistently shines, water is abundant, and the winds blow throughout the year. The five types include solar, energy from the Sun; geothermal, energy from heat within the Earth; hydroelectric, energy from moving water; biomass, energy from dead plants and microorganisms and finally, energy from the wind.

36. Which sentence is NOT TRUE about non-renewable energy sources?

A. They take millions of years to form. B. They will run out someday C. They come from fossil fuels D. they are always available

37. Which sentence is TRUE about renewable energy sources?

A. They are bad for the environment B. They are not always available C. They are called green energy D. They can be used up

38. When does the chemical reaction take place?

A. When we use energy from the wind. B. When we burn fossil fuels C. When we use green energy D. When global warming happens

39. What is NOT INCLUDED in the five types of green energy?

A. solar B. hydroelectric C. natural gas D. biomass

40. What does geothermal come from?

A. dead plants B. heat within the earth C. the wind D. moving water

VIII. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct option marked A, B, C or D to answer the questions.

They called New York “the Big Apple”. Maybe it is not exactly like an apple, it’s certainly very big. There are too many people, that’s the problem. The streets are always full of cars and trucks, you can never find a place to park.

If you have enough money, you can take a taxi. New York cabs are yellow. They look all the same. But the drivers are very different. Some were born and raised in New York, but many are newcomers to the United States. A few drive slowly, but most go very fast. Cab driving is a difficult job. It can be dangerous, too. Thieves often try to steal the drivers’ money. Drivers sometimes get hurt.

If you don’t want to take a taxi, you can go by bus or you can take the subway. The subway is quick and it’s cheap, but parts of it are old and dirty. Lights don’t always work and there is often fire on the track. On some subway lines, there are new, clean, silver trains. But you can’t see the color of the old trains easily. There is too much dirt and too many graffiti, inside and outside.

1. What is the problem in New York? ~ __________.

A. It has too many apples B. It is too big

C. It looked like an apple D. It is too crowded

2. What does a cab mean?

Read the passage carefully and then do the tasks:

With millions of jobs set to be replaced by changes in technology, we may not be able to stop the rise of robots and automation. The robots are coming. We can see the enormous strides that technology makes each year and the jobs taken over by automation. Yes, believe or not, there really are robots performing surgeries on humans. Robot – assisted surgery can give surgeons more precise control over their instruments and an improved view of what are they doing.

Computer systems are becoming incredibly good at performing multi – faceted tasks. Take autonomous cars which can be classified as robotic vehicles. Driving would fit all the criteria for a complicated task that only humans should be able to perform, yet we have autonomous cars increasingly racking up the miles collision free. In the game – playing arena, we are seeing machines beat the previously unbeatable professional players and generally encroaching on skills that once belonged to humans alone. All these technologies eventually can be integrated into robots. Are we close to the tipping point where humans become redundant in many sectors?

According to a recent survey, four million jobs in the British private sector could be replaced by robots in the next decade. That would impact on 15 percent of the current workforce and would have much the same impact in Ireland. Of course, new opportunities will come along, particularly ones which require strong cognitive and social skills, but this really means that people will have to become more human.

A. Decide whether the following sentences are True (T) or False (F)

1. We cannot put a stop on technology innovation.

2. Robotic systems can help surgeons increase precision.

3. Computer systems are only capable of carrying out multiple simple tasks.

4. Driving task is so complex that it can’t be performed by an autonomous vehicle.

5. Self – driving cars can travel miles without accident.

6. People in many sectors have lost their jobs because of automation.

7. In the next ten years, robots could take over four million jobs in the British private sector.

8. In the future, people will just do the jobs that require strong cognitive and social skills.

B. Answer the questions

1. Why is robot – assisted surgery used?

->

2. Can robots defeat human players in games?

->

3. What percentage of the Ireland workforce could be affected by the use of robots in 10 years’ time?

->

4. Will technology create new job opportunities for the human race?

5. What jobs can human do better than robots?

We use many different energy sources to do work for us. Energy sources are classified into two groups - renewable and nonrenewable.

Non-renewable energy sources are those that take millions of years to form and will run out some day. It is energy that comes from fossil fuels such as coal, crude oil, and natural gas. Fossil fuels are mainly made up of carbon and were formed millions of years ago. The chemical reaction which takes place when we burn fossil fuels releases carbon compounds such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide into the air. Carbon dioxide is one of the green house gases which is contributing to global warming and air pollution.

5. carbon is the main element in fossil fuels.

Wind is the primary source of hydroelectricity energy.

B. Answer the questions.

1. What are fossil fuels?..............................................................

2. When were fossil fuels formed?.............................................................

3. Do carbon dioxide emissions causes climate change on Earth?..................................

4. How many types of renewable energy sources are there? What are they?
