Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the
best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
The Internet is a short term of interconnected network that has revolutionized the way
we communicate, work, and learn. It has connected people from all over the world and made it
possible to share information and ideas instantly. The first design of the Internet was created by
Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf in the 1970s with the aim of becoming a survival network after a nuclear
attack, but it eventually became a successful nationwide experimental packet network.
The Internet is a vast network of computers that are connected to each other. Its operation
is very simple, in which each computer is called a server and connected directly to the Internet,
and each server has an IP address that allows others to find. This network allows users to access
information and resources from all over the world.
The Internet has had a profound impact on society. It has made it possible for people to
communicate with each other in new ways and to access educational information and resources
that were previously unavailable. The Internet has also created new opportunities for businesses
and individuals. For example, in the past, people had to bring their goods to market and display
them to sell, but now, people can see products through shopping windows and purchase them
through online services. However, the Internet has also had some negative impacts. For example,
the Internet can be a source of misinformation. It can also be addictive and can lead to social
isolation.
Overall, the Internet has been a powerful force for change in the world. It has had both
positive and negative impacts, but it is clear that it has had a profound impact on our lives.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the
best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Global urbanisation has increased significantly in recent decades, and one of the main
drivers of this growth has been rural migration. [II] Half of the world's population already resides
in cities, and by 2050, expens predict that number to reach as high as two-thirds. [III] Many
factors contribute to this global phenomenon, which then gives rise to various issues. [IV]
There are many push factors which force people away from rural life. For example, rural
residents have fewer employment options because there are not many large companies nearby.
What's more, rural jobs are mainly related to agriculture, so crop failures due to natural disasters
can make it difficult to earn a good living. By contrast, there are pull factors that attract people to
urban life. Urban areas have more industries, so people can easily get good jobs and achieve a
higher standard of living. They also offer entertainment alternatives, such as theme parks,
sporting and musical events, al lowing urban citizens to access leisure activities easily.
In the process of urbanisation, rural migration causes various far-reaching impacts on the
environment and urban citizens. First, deforestation occurs when city governments have forests
cut down to build accommodation for new residents, which harms the environment and reduces
air quality. As growing populations bring about more deforestation and pollution, the air quality
worsens, which can lead to health issues for residents. Second, due to population expansion, cities
are struggling to offer adequate public facilities for urban people. As a result, some lowincome
people are unable to obtain the necessary affordable housing and end up living in slums, where
the quality of life is very poor.
Rural migration is a complicated process, of which the causes and the effects should
be fully comprehended. By carefully planning city development and suitable social policies, we
can provide urban citizens with good public services, exciting job opportunities and a high quality
of life without harming the environment.
