The Schengen Agreement is a treaty between European nations which eventually led to the creation of a common travel area in which there are few internal border checks. The agreement gets its name from the town of Schengen in Luxembourg, where it was signed by representatives of five of the ten member states of the then European Economic Community (EEC). The agreement proposed measures intended to gradually abolish border checks at the signatories' common borders, including hugely reducing vehicle checks, freedom for citizens to cross borders, and the harmonization of visa policies. 
In 1990, the original agreement was supplemented by the Schengen Convention which proposed the complete abolition of systematic internal border controls and a common visa policy. This led to the creation of the Schengen Area in 1995. It operates very much like a single state for international travel purposes, with external border controls imposed on travellers entering and exiting the area, but with no internal border controls. 
Originally, the Schengen treaties and the rules adopted under them were officially independent from the EEC and its successor, the European Union (EU). In 1999, they were incorporated into European Union law by the Treaty of Amsterdam, which codified Schengen into EU law while providing opt-outs for Ireland and the U.K., with the latter since leaving the EU. EU member states that don’t have an opt-out which have not already joined the Schengen Area are legally obliged to do so when they meet technical requirements. Although it is linked to EU law, several non-EU countries are included in the area, having signed up to the agreement.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42. 
In addition to light, the sun radiates heat and a steady stream of charged particles known as the solar wind. The wind blows about 280 miles (450 kilometres) a second throughout the solar system, extending the sun's magnetic field out more than 10 billion miles. Beyond that distance, the solar wind gives way to the colder, dense material that drifts in between stars, forming a boundary called the heliopause. So far, just two spacecraft—Voyager 1 and Voyager 2—have crossed this cosmic threshold, which defines the start of interstellar space. 
Every so often, a patch of particles will burst from the sun in a solar flare, which can disrupt satellite communications and knock out power on Earth. Flares usually stem from the activity of sunspots, cool regions of the photosphere that form and dissipate as the sun's internal magnetic field shifts. Solar flares and sunspots obey a regular cycle, rising and falling in number every 11 years as the poles of the sun's magnetic field flip back and forth. 
Sometimes, the sun will also launch huge bubbles of magnetized particles from its corona, in events called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Some CMEs can grow as large as the sun itself and fling as much as a billion tons of material in a given direction. As they rush from the sun, CMEs can send huge shockwaves through the solar wind. If a CME collided with Earth, its particles could pack enough power to fry electronics in orbit and on Earth's surface. 
Like many energy sources, the sun will not last forever. It has already used up nearly half of the hydrogen in its core. The sun will continue to burn through the hydrogen for another five billion years or so, and then helium will become its primary fuel. At that point, the sun will expand to about a hundred times its current size, swallowing Mercury and Venus—and maybe Earth. It will burn as a red giant star for another billion years and then collapse into a white dwarf star. 
Question 36: Which best serves as the title for the passage? 
A. Solar Wind and Flares 	B. Material That Drifts in Between Stars 
C. Huge Shockwaves Through the Solar Wind D. Hydrogen in Sun’s Core 
Question 37: The word “dense” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. quiet 	B. mature 	C. hopeful 	D. thick 
Question 38: In paragraph 2, Solar flares and sunspots ______. 
A. burst from the sun in a solar flare B. change when sun's magnetic field changes C. share the same characteristics D. form and dissipate cool regions of the photosphere 
Question 39: The word “ejections” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. sessions 	B. versions 	C. emissions 	D. passions 
Question 40: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ______. 
billion tons 	B. CMEs 	C. shockwaves 	D. particles 
Question 41: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage? A. The speed of the solar wind can reach 450 kilometres a second. 
Flares are usually created by the activity of sunspots. 
CMEs can grow larger than the sun itself. 
Like many energy sources, the sun will die one day. 
Question 42: Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. The sun will exist as long as Mercury and Venus. 
The sun will expand to about a thousand times its current size. 
It’s impossible for the sun to collapse into a white dwarf star. 
The sun will die when it runs out of the hydrogen in its core.
