Son Doong Cave has become more famous after the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) aired a live programme featuring its magnificence on ‘Good Morning America’ in May 2015.

Located in Quang Binh Province, Son Doong Cave was discovered by a local man named Ho Khanh in 1991, and became known internationally in 2009 thanks to British cavers, led by Howard Limbert. The cave was formed about 2 to 5 million years ago by river water eroding away the limestone underneath the mountain.

The cave is more than 200 metres wide, 150 metres high, and nearly 9 kilometres long, with caverns big enough to fit an entire street inside them. Son Doong Cave is recognised as the largest cave in the world by BCRA (British Cave Research Association) and selected as one of the most beautiful on earth by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation).

In August 2013, the first tourist group explored the cave on a guided tour. Permits are now required to access the cave and are made available on a limited basis. Only 500 permits were issued for the 2015 season, which runs from February to August. After August, heavy rains cause river levels to rise and make the cave largely inaccessible.

VII. Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question.

Where will you go on your next vacation? Disneyland? Sea World? Outer space?

That’s right; tourists are now paying big bucks to travel into space with astronauts! The first space tourist was Dennis Tito, an American businessman. In 2001, he paid about $20 million to ride on a Russian rocket to the International Space Station. The Space Station circles 220 miles above Earth. Tito stayed on the station for a week, hanging out with astronauts and eating space food. The latest space tourist was Anousheh Ansari, an Iranian-born woman from the United States who went to the Space Station in mid-September 2006.

How safe is space travel? Apart from the risk of crashing, space tourists have some special things to worry about. Earth’s atmosphere protects us from dangerous radiation from the sun. Space travelers are exposed to more of the sun’s rays. But for tourists spending only a few days or weeks in space, the radiation probably isn’t harmful.

A bigger problem might be space sickness. Without Earth’s gravity to hold them down, visitors to the Space Station float around inside the craft. It may look like fun on TV, but it can make first-time space travelers dizzy and sick. Luckily, the sickness usually wears off quickly. Then space tourists can enjoy their trip and the amazing view of Earth.

1. Traveling to space _____.

 A. Will be available to everyone

 B. Is not expensive

 C. Will be limited to the very wealthy

 D. Will be limited to the very poor

2. While in outer space it is likely that people will _____.

 A. Experience space sickness

 B. Not need space suits

 C. Will get a sunburn

 D. Make side trips to Mars

3. It is probably so expensive to travel to space because_____.

 A. Astronauts want to make a lot of money

 B. Astronaut food is very expensive

 C. Space equipment and fuel is expensive

 D. There are high taxes on space travel

4. This passage is ____.

 A. A poem

 B. fiction

 C. a biography

 D. non-fiction

5. Why are space travelers exposed to more radiation?

 A. Their spacesuits are too thin to protect them.

 B. They lack protection provided by Earth’s atmosphere.

 C. They stay in the space for such a long time.

 D. They float around inside the craft and have space sickness.

X. Sample

People have spent a lot of money on space travel because it brings us many benefits. First of all, through space missions, we might find new minerals and precious materials in other planets that could make our lives much easier. Secondly, space exploration brings together a lot of smart people from many different fields to work on the same problem. This has resulted in not only fantastic scientific discoveries but also many useful inventions. Thirdly, as our Earth is becoming overpopulated, we might be able to colonise other planets such as Mars and make their atmosphere suitable for human life. In conclusion, people are continuing exploring space because of its advantages. (111 words)
