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 31 to 35. 
As the world makes the transition to a clean energy future, sustainability is clearly a primary ingredient and priority in driving future economic growth. In fact, the adoption of sustainable measures across industries to reduce carbon emissions can save the global economy an estimated $26 trillion by 2030. The global finance industry needs to contribute. 
Examining long-term sustainability of money is one way we can contribute. Most currencies today aren’t environmentally friendly, with the production and movement of money contributing to pollution, deforestation and a large carbon footprint. By offering an alternative to cash that is more efficient, accessible and sustainable, blockchain and digital assets are helping drive impact today—and their crucial role in creating a more sustainable future for finance will grow over time. 
When it comes to sustainability, however, digital assets aren’t all made equally. Bitcoin is arguably the most widely known cryptocurrency, but by no means, is it the most sustainable. Current cryptocurrency mining methods consume relatively large amounts of energy. In 2019 alone, Bitcoin transactions consumed almost as much energy as the country of Portugal does on average, each year. In contrast, the digital asset XRP is a staggering 61,000x more energy efficient than Bitcoin. 
With the adoption of innovative financial technologies like cryptocurrency and blockchain, we must prioritize sustainability in parallel with this push toward digitization. 
Question 31: What could be the best title for the passage? 
The Global Finance Industry 
Sustainability Informs Future Economic Growth 
Production and Movement of Money 
Amounts of Energy in 2019 
Question 32: The word “that” in paragraph 2 refers to ______. 
A. alternative to cash B. digital assets 	C. impact 	D. carbon footprint 
Question 33: The word “accessible” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. remarkable 	B. comfortable 	C. acceptable 	D. attainable 
Question 34: According to paragraph 3, cryptocurrency like Bitcoin is by no means sustainable because ______. 
The production and movement of cryptocurrency cause pollution 
It emits a large carbon footprint 
Bitcoin transactions consumed much energy 
It contribute nothing to global finance industry 
Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a drawback of most currencies today? 
A. deforestation 	B. slow transition 	C. carbon footprint 	D. pollution 
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. 
Given the American manufacturing tradition, it was also inevitable that cars would be produced in larger volume at lower prices than in Europe. The absence of tariff barriers between the states encouraged sales over a wide geographic area. Cheap raw materials and a chronic shortage of skilled labour early encouraged the mechanization of industrial processes in the United States. 
This in turn required the standardization of products and resulted in the volume production of such commodities as firearms, sewing machines, bicycles, and many other items. In 1913, the United States produced some 485,000 of the world total of 606,124 motor vehicles. 
The Ford Motor Company greatly outpaced its competitors in reconciling state-of-the-art design with moderate price. Cycle and Automobile Trade Journal called the four-cylinder, fifteenhorsepower, $600 Ford Model N (1906-1907) “the very first instance of a low-cost motorcar driven by a gas engine having cylinders enough to give the shaft a turning impulse in each shaft turn 
which is well built and offered in large numbers.” Deluged with orders, Ford installed improved production equipment and after 1906 was able to make deliveries of a hundred cars a day. 
Encouraged by the success of the Model N, Henry Ford was determined to build an even better “car for the great multitude.” The four-cylinder, twenty-horsepower Model T, first offered in October 1908, sold for $825. Its two-speed planetary transmission made it easy to drive, and features such as its detachable cylinder head made it easy to repair. Its high chassis was designed to clear the bumps in rural roads. Vanadium steel made the Model T a lighter and tougher car, and new methods of casting parts (especially block casting of the engine) helped keep the price down. 
Committed to large-volume production of the Model T, Ford innovated modern mass production techniques at his new Highland Park, Michigan plant, which opened in 1910 although he did not introduce the moving assembly line until 1913-1914. The Model T runabout sold for $575 in 1912, less than the average annual wage in the United States. 
By the time the Model T was withdrawn from production in 1927, its price had been reduced to $290 for the coupe, 15 million units had been sold, and mass personal “automobility” had become a reality. 
Question 36: Which best serves as the title for the passage? 
A. Tariff Barriers 	B. Ford Model N 	C. Model T 	D. Highland Park, Michigan Question 37: The word “moderate” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. American manufacturing tradition 	B. larger volume of production 
C. the shortage of skilled labour 	D. a wide geographic area 
Question 39: The word “detachable” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. inactive 	B. removable 	C. excellent 	D. imaginative 
Question 40: The word “its” in paragraph 6 refers to ______. 
A. reality 	B. coupe 	C. production 	D. Model T 
Question 41: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage? 
Mechanization of industrial processes didn’t require the standardization of products. 
The Ford Motor Company greatly outpaced its competitors. 
Twenty-horsepower Model T was first offered 1908, sold for $825. 
Ford innovated modern mass production techniques in 1910. 
Question 42: Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 5? 
Large-volume production of the Model T couldn’t be operated. 
New production techniques made the price of the Model T runabout reasonable. 
Innovated modern mass production techniques failed to open in 1910. 
The new Highland Park, Michigan plant was introduced in 1913-1914.
