X. Exercise 2: (1.0 point)

Read the text and questions below. For each question, mark the correct letter
A, B, C or D in the numbered space.
The latest addiction to trap thousands of people is the Internet, which has been
blamed for broken relationships, job losses, financial ruin and even one suicide.
Psychologists now recognize Internet Addiction Syndrome (IAS) as a new illness that
could cause serious problems and ruin many lives, special help groups have been set

3
up to offer suffers help and support. Psychologists have described many worrying
examples, including one man who took his own life after borrowing more than 14.000
dollars to feed his addiction, and a teenager also had to receive psychiatric treatment
for his 12-hour-a-day habit. “This illness is not a fake, and it must be taken seriously,)
said an expert in behavioral addiction at Nottingham Trent University. “These are not
bad people with serious personality defects; they are people who were fine before they
found the Internet.”
IAS is similar to other problems like gambling, smoking and drinking: addicts
have dreamed about the Internet; they need to use it first thing in the morning; they
lied to their partners about how much time they spend online; they wish they could cut
down, but are unable to do so. A recent study found that many users spend up to 40
hours a week on the Internet. Although they felt guilty, they became depressed if they
were made to stop using it.
Almost anyone can be at risk. Some of the addicts are teenagers who are
already hooked on computer games and who find it very difficult to resist the games
on the Internet. Surprisingly, however, psychologists said that most victims are
middle-aged housewives who have never used a computer before.

1. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. The last addiction
B. Hooked on the net
C. A new illness
D. Why is the victim?
2. According to the author, the Internet addicts ………………
A. are users who spend up to 40 hours a week on the Internet
B. are users who are already hooked on computer games
C. are middle-aged housewives who have never used a computer
D. could be anyone
3. The phrase “took his own life” in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by which of the
following?
A. to kill himself unintentionally
B. to commit manslaughter
C. to commit suicide
D. to kill someone else
4. The word “they” in the paragraph 3 refers to ………………
A. Internet addicts
B. problems such as gambling, smoking and drinking
C. ISA
D. dreams
5. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. ISA is not a fake
B. It was found that many computer users became depressed if they were made
to stop using computers.
C. All of the Internet addicts are middle-aged housewives who have never used
a computer before.
D. The latest addiction to trap thousands people is the Internet

On the night of March 8th, Malaysia Airlines flight 370 (1)_____________ off

remains a mystery.
A frantic search for the Boeing 777 began in the Gulf (2) _____________

with deep technical knowledge of the aircraft. No suspects or suspected motives have
emerged.

narrowed the search area to a vast stretch of sea far off the coast of western Australia,
(7)_____________ they suspect the plane crashed after (8)_____________ out of fuel.
Repeated scans of the water’s surface and seabed have yielded nothing. It is a

X. Read the passage and choose the best answer. (10 points)
Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout
history the sea has served the need of man. The sea has provided man with food
and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two
thirds of the world’s population live within 80 km of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help
mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea,
however, still can be hoped to supply many of man’s needs. The list of riches of
the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive. Oil and gas
explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. A lot of valuable
minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food.
The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly
by Oriental people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe
