Ⅳ.Reading Comprehension(5%+5%+5%)
(A)
Last summer, when I was in Thailand, I had a lot of free time. A friend suggested I volunteer to teach in a nearby refugee camp. The families there had been forced to leave their homes because of the war in Myanmar.
The “school” was just a small bamboo hut with a roof made of straw, much like the temporary homes the refugees lived in. It was the rainy season, so it poured a lot. Every morning, I would ride my scooter from my comfortable hotel to the camp, and I’d often arrive covered in mud, which made the kids laugh. Some of my friends asked, “Why are you volunteering in a refugee camp? Don’t you miss the fun of city life?” I told them I needed something different from the usual “good times”. The kids from Myanmar were eager to learn and really bright. I was impressed by how quickly they picked things up. Talking to them made me think a lot. When you grow up in a war zone, you have to mature quickly and face tough situations.
Leaving your home and living in a new country teaches you a lot about life. I’ve always found volunteering easy because I like to do new things. My job also gives me the freedom to choose when and where I work. Even though I don’t get paid for volunteering, I’ve learned that money isn’t the only reward. The experiences I have are priceless. You meet great people, and working with those who have less than you makes you appreciate what you have and stop complaining about things you can’t change. That lesson is worth more than money. I’m not a super nice person. I can be selfish, just like anyone else. But you don’t need to be perfect to help others. Honestly, I’d be suspicious if someone said they never have selfish reasons for volunteering. In the end, volunteering benefits you too. It helps you grow as a person, and that can lead to a richer and more meaningful life.

32. What does the word “mature” mean in the sentence, “When you grow up in a war zone, you have to mature quickly”?

B. They were always happy despite the challenges they faced.
C. They were eager to learn and learned quickly.
D. They had advanced technology in the refugee camp.
34. What can be inferred about the author’s view of volunteering?
A. He views volunteering as a duty that everyone should perform.
B. He sees it as a way to earn extra money and enjoy new experiences.

For many people, our closest encounter with wild animals is at a zoo. Zoos let us see amazing animals like lions, tigers, and even small lizards up close. It’s fun and educational, but is it really the best place for the animals?
In the past, people could only see wild animals as stuffed displays in museums. Later, explorers caught live animals and showed them in menageries, which were early zoos. Back then, people didn’t care much about the animals’ well-being. Today’s zoos are different. They now provide bigger spaces and try to make the animals’ homes look like their natural environments.
Some people think it’s cruel to keep animals in cages just for entertainment. However, zoos argue that they help educate people about wildlife conservation. In the UK, a law passed in 1981 requires zoos to teach visitors about conservation. Many zoos also help support and fund programs to protect wildlife.
Zoos often say they are important for saving endangered species that could become extinct because of climate change. Robert Young, a professor of conservation, said many species would not exist without zoos. For example, Chester Zoo in the UK helped save the golden skiffia fish from disappearing.
As the debate about zoos continues, new technologies like virtual reality may offer different ways to experience wildlife.
36. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The history of zoos and how they have changed over time.
B. The types of animals found in modern zoos.
C. The differences between stuffed animals and live animals.
D. The laws that govern zoos today.
37. Why does the author mention the law passed in the UK in 1981?
A. To show that all zoos are now educational.
B. To highlight the educational function of zoos.
C. To explain how zoos have become more entertaining.
D. To discuss the financial support for zoos.
38. What does the word “endangered” in the passage mean?
A. safe and protected B. likely to become extinct
C. common and widespread D. healthy and thriving
39. Which of the following statements is CORRECT based on the passage?
A. Zoos have always provided large spaces for animals.
B. The main purpose of zoos has shifted to solely entertainment.
C. Zoos in the past focused on animal welfare and education.
D. Modern zoos are required to educate visitors about wildlife conservation.
40. What is Robert Young’s attitude toward zoos?
A. He believes zoos are cruel and should be shut down.
B. He thinks zoos are vital for protecting endangered species.
C. He feels that zoos do not provide enough education for visitors.
D. He thinks zoos are only focused on entertainment.
(C)
Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honours, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and extremely in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.
Answer the following questions in COMPLETE sentences:

Ⅳ.Reading Comprehension(5%+5%+5%)
(A)
Last summer, when I was in Thailand, I had a lot of free time. A friend suggested I volunteer to teach in a nearby refugee camp. The families there had been forced to leave their homes because of the war in Myanmar.
The “school” was just a small bamboo hut with a roof made of straw, much like the temporary homes the refugees lived in. It was the rainy season, so it poured a lot. Every morning, I would ride my scooter from my comfortable hotel to the camp, and I’d often arrive covered in mud, which made the kids laugh. Some of my friends asked, “Why are you volunteering in a refugee camp? Don’t you miss the fun of city life?” I told them I needed something different from the usual “good times”. The kids from Myanmar were eager to learn and really bright. I was impressed by how quickly they picked things up. Talking to them made me think a lot. When you grow up in a war zone, you have to mature quickly and face tough situations.
Leaving your home and living in a new country teaches you a lot about life. I’ve always found volunteering easy because I like to do new things. My job also gives me the freedom to choose when and where I work. Even though I don’t get paid for volunteering, I’ve learned that money isn’t the only reward. The experiences I have are priceless. You meet great people, and working with those who have less than you makes you appreciate what you have and stop complaining about things you can’t change. That lesson is worth more than money. I’m not a super nice person. I can be selfish, just like anyone else. But you don’t need to be perfect to help others. Honestly, I’d be suspicious if someone said they never have selfish reasons for volunteering. In the end, volunteering benefits you too. It helps you grow as a person, and that can lead to a richer and more meaningful life.

For many people, our closest encounter with wild animals is at a zoo. Zoos let us see amazing animals like lions, tigers, and even small lizards up close. It’s fun and educational, but is it really the best place for the animals?
In the past, people could only see wild animals as stuffed displays in museums. Later, explorers caught live animals and showed them in menageries, which were early zoos. Back then, people didn’t care much about the animals’ well-being. Today’s zoos are different. They now provide bigger spaces and try to make the animals’ homes look like their natural environments.
Some people think it’s cruel to keep animals in cages just for entertainment. However, zoos argue that they help educate people about wildlife conservation. In the UK, a law passed in 1981 requires zoos to teach visitors about conservation. Many zoos also help support and fund programs to protect wildlife.
Zoos often say they are important for saving endangered species that could become extinct because of climate change. Robert Young, a professor of conservation, said many species would not exist without zoos. For example, Chester Zoo in the UK helped save the golden skiffia fish from disappearing.
As the debate about zoos continues, new technologies like virtual reality may offer different ways to experience wildlife.

Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honours, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and extremely in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.
