SECTION C: READING (60 points)
PART 1. For questions 1 - 10, read the following passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D.
(I) Over the past few years, biking has enjoyed a rise in popularity around the world. (II) A possible justification is that urbanites want to avoid public transport and turn to a relative safety of two-wheeled commute. (III) Now many cycling supporters are working with local governments in the hope of turning this COVID-related trend into lasting changes. (IV)
Tabitha Combs, a lecturer at the University of North Carolina, has been gathering data on local actions affecting cycling during the pandemic. At present, she has identified at least 365 global cities that have designated new street space for this activity since she began on 24 March. “This was clearly a phenomenon that was taking place in cities all around the world at roughly the same time,” she explains. “It was like a simultaneous global brainwave.” While some cities created pop-up bike lanes, others implemented “slow streets” by erecting makeshift barriers and reducing speed limits so bikes and other vehicles could move safely on the same road. In Europe, Paris fast-tracked a plan to create 650km of temporary and permanent bikeways, while Rome introduced 150km of its own cycling lane.
However, there is still the issue of how cities can keep people cycling after COVID-19, especially as enthusiasm is waning in places such as the UK, where a new report shows car ownership is considered more important than ever. Harry Prapavessis, director of Exercise and Health Psychology Lab at Canada’s Western University, thinks this boils down to three key factors: efficiency, safety and cost. To begin with, local authorities should constantly improve the quality of their bike networks. Furthermore, they had better ensure that infrastructure is well-maintained for cyclists even in poor weather. Also, they need to put more effort into showcasing the cost-effectivesness of a two-wheeled commute, which can be six times cheaper than driving a car, to the general public.
Plus, he says, there are simple policies that can promote cycling, including tax breaks, reductions in heathcare premiums or workers-compensation packages that include benefits for bike commuters. Prapavessis adds: “These strategies lead to real behavioral changes because there is this reminder that as you ride regularly, the society is showing you that it values and rewards your decision.” As a behavioral scientist, he hopes the soar in biking will not be attributed to just COVID-19 fear. “That would be really sad. It would mean that we didn’t take advantage of what we could have done to encourage and persuade those people to stick with it.”

6. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
7. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
8. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
9. In which paragraph does the writer illlustrate how some European countries supported cycling during the pandemic?
10. What is the main idea of the passage?
PART 2. For questions 11 - 23, read the following passage and complete the tasks given.
TRADITIONAL VIETNAMESE MEDICAL THEORY
A. The beliefs of Vietnamese folk medicine associate illness with the absence of any of the three souls which maintain life, intelligence, and the senses, or of the nine spirits which collectively sustain the living body. A number of rituals performed at childbirth, which are aimed at protecting the mother and the infant from medical and magical dangers, derive from these beliefs, but they play a relatively limited role in medical behavior generally. Conversely, Chinese medicine plays a major role in the maintenance and restoration of health and is observed by ethnic Vietnamese and by Vietnamese-Chinese. Principles from Chinese medicine provide the scripting for the management of birth for both groups, and more generally, establish guidelines whereby good health may be maintained.
B. According to Sino-Vietnamese Medical Theory, the body has two vital and opposite life forces which capture the essence of yin (breath) and yang (blood) in accordance with the “five evolutive phases” (metal, wood, water, fire and earth). The proper circulation and the balance of the yin and yang ensure the healthy circulation of blood and thus good health while disequilibrium and disharmony cause ill health. Illness, physical and mental, can be identified by the imbalance or excess of yin over yang or yang over yin. Foods and medicine, also classified according to their reputed intrinsic nature as yin (cold) and yang (hot), may be taken therapeutically to correct the imbalance resulting from ill health, or to correct the imbalance due to the overindulgence in a food excessively “hot” or “cold”, or due to age or changed physiological status (for example, pregnancy).
C. Foodstuffs may also be identified as tonic or antitonic, toxic or poison, or as having wind. A further small group of foods are ascribed magical properties. Other foods may be classified as neutral or remain outside any classification system, and hence have no overt therapeutic use.
D. While the classification of foods as hot, cold, tonic, poison, wind, magic and neutral is based on the intrinsic nature of the foods, in practice they are identified predominantly according to their physical effects on the body. Ultimately, the system is both individual and arbitrary, and there appears no firm correlation to the raw and cooked states of the food, the method of cooking, the spices, or the calorific value of the food.
E. In genereal, leafy vegetables, and most fruit are classified as cold and are said to cool the body; meat, condiments, alcohol, and fatty foods are classified as hot and are said to heat the body. Tonic foods, believed to increase the volume of blood and to promote health and energy, include “protein-rich” foods, high fat, sugar and carbohydrate foods (fried food, sweet fruit, honey and rice), and medicines (alcohol and vitamins). Sour foods, and sometimes raw and cold foods, tend to be considered antitonic and are believed to deplete the volume of blood. Wind foods include raw foods, leafy vegetables and fruit, and often are classified as cold. They reputedly cause wind illness such as rheumatism and arthritis. Beef, mutton, fowl, fish, glutinous rice, and long bananas are considered potentially toxic and may cause convulsions, skin irratation and infection.

PART 3. For questions 24 - 33, read the following passage and fill in each blank with ONE WORD. Write your answers in the numbered spaces provided.
What on Earth would we do without satellites?
Since the first satellites were by rocket over 50 years ago, the quantity of communications satellites in space has increased enormously.
As part of positioning systems (GPS), they tell us where we are on the planet, and can help save lives , for instance, directing the emergency services to the of an accident.
Satellites are essential for accurate forecasting, and also for space exploration. Because they are above the Earth’s atmosphere, right on the edge of outer space, telescopes on satellites can distant objects up to ten times more than they could from the surface of the Earth.
What’s , we rely on satellites to make long-distance phone calls, and in some remote regions, make it possible for us to access the Internet. And of course many people watch TV programmes broadcast from the other side of the world to satellites, which enable us to watch hundreds of channels in a whole variety of languages.
PART 4. For questions 34 - 40, read the following passage about field trips. Seven sentences have been removed. Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits each gap. There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. Write your answers in the numbered spaces provided.
For many years, school children in America have gone on ‘field trips’ to cultural institutions.
Although these trips involve expense and disruption to class timetables, educators arrange them, believing that schools exist both to teach economically useful skills and to produce youngsters who appreciate the arts and culture. . Therefore, field trips give everyone equal access to cultural heritage.
. Take the Field Museum in Chicago, for example. Its number of student visitors has recently dropped by 100,000. A similar pattern is emerging in other areas of the country, and is set to continue. .
So what drives this change? . Because there are increasing demands on their funds (computers and sports facilities aren’t cheap), schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have. . Plenty of school heads also consider field trips a waste of time, arguing that students’ precious time should be spent on exam preparation instead.
Although school trips still happen, their nature is also changing. . They are taken to amusement parks instead of to museums. . Older teachers might believe the primary purpose of a field trip was to provide a learning experience while younger teachers see the main point of a trip as fun.
Missing sentences:
A. The most obvious factor is finance
B. While some children are taken to cultural places by their parents, many others never have this opportunity unless schools offer it
C. Schools increasingly use them as a treat for diligent students, rather than as an opportunity for cultural learning
D. However, the attitude towards field trips is seemingly changing, with the number of tours organised for school groups falling significantly in museums all around the country
E. An online tour of the museum, during which they viewed and discussed five paintings, made little impact on students
F. Faced with this dilemma, field trips are an obvious thing to cut since they are seen by many as a luxury
G. This shift to “reward” field trips could result from generational differences between teachers’ reasons for organising field trips
H. A survey exploring the trend by some school administrators revealed that half of the schools asked had decided to cancel trips planned for the next year
