Text 1. The following text is for question 1 to 5
There are a lot of discussions whether students should be given homework or not.
Some people claim that student do enough work is school already. They also argue that students have hobbies that they want to do after school, such as sports or music. A further point they make is that a lot of homework is pointless and doesn’t help the child learn at all.
However, there are also strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and teachers argue that it is important to find out whether children can work on their own without the support from the teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for children to sit down and think about what they have learned in school.
Furthermore, they claim that the school day is too short to get anything done that needs doing and it makes sense to send home tasks like independent reading or further writing tasks that don’t need teacher’s support.
On balance, I think that some homework is a good idea but it should only be given at the weekend when children have more time.

Text 2. the following text is for question 11 to 15
When fossil fuels, or other fuels, such as wood or peat, which contain carbon are burned, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. Vehicles also give out, and so add, carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
The earth’s atmosphere allows most of the sun’s rays to pass through it to heat the earth’s surface. The earth reflects much of the heat energy back into the atmosphere, but much of this reflected radiation cannot escape because gases such as carbon dioxide absorb it. They grow warm and send heat radiation back to earth. This is the greenhouse effect. Many scientists think that the greenhouse effect may change the climate, over the next 100 years or so. One consequence of so called “global warming” resulting from the greenhouse effect could be melting of the polar ice caps. This in turn, could lead to a rise in sea level which could flood large areas of highly populated coastal land
If carbon dioxide proves to be as harmful as thought, we need to reduce the amounts of carbon-rich fuels burned.

11. The text mainly tells about …
a. fossil fuels

e. global warming

12. “The earth reflects much of the heat energy back into the atmosphere” (paragraph 2). The underlined word means ….

a. it makes the atmosphere become warmer
b. it makes the atmosphere become cooler
b. it makes the atmosphere darker to long-wave radiation
c. it makes the atmosphere allow most of the sun’s rays to pass through
d. it makes the atmosphere allow most of the sun’s rays to pass through it to heat the earth’s surface

14. “…because gases such as carbon dioxide absorb it.” (paragraph 2)
a. atmosphere
