READING :: 20 :: 1 ===SECTION=== Cloze Test Dropdown ===DROPDOWN=== **Passage 1:** Last summer, our history class took a field trip to an incredibly (1) {*ancient | future | basic | ordinary} area in central Vietnam. The destination was My Son Sanctuary, a famous (2) {*World Heritage Site | seat belt | nightmare | ketchup} recognized by UNESCO. As we arrived, the guide explained that this place was once a magnificent (3) {*temple complex | windmill | pancake | vinegar} used by the Champa Kingdom for spiritual ceremonies. While we (4) {was walking | walked | *were walking | have walked} around the ancient ruins, I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of respect. The guide told us that many centuries ago, people used to (5) {damage | *worship | occupy | appear} their gods right here. Unfortunately, during the war, foreign troops decided to (6) {rebuild | benefit | *occupy | celebrate} the valley, and terrible fighting caused immense (7) {friendship | *damage | contribution | home life} to these religious monuments. Many red brick towers were destroyed. Looking at the broken pillars, I heard my friend whisper, “I wish people (68) {wasn’t | *hadn’t been | aren’t | hasn’t been} so destructive in the past.” It was a heartbreaking thought. However, thanks to the dedicated contributions of international scholars and local authorities, significant efforts are being made to rebuild and (9) {*safeguard | discover | decide | take pride in} what is left. As a visitor, I realized that these antique structures are a (10) {magnificent | deep-rooted | *valuable | five-coloured} resource. ===DROPDOWN=== **Passage 2:** Growing up in a rural village, my home life was deeply associated with vibrant local customs. Every autumn, our community would (1) {*celebrate | damage | observe | discover} the Harvest Festival with great enthusiasm. This deep-rooted tradition was a time for everyone to express their gratitude to their (2) {visitors | *ancestors | seat belts | workshops} for a bountiful crop. I still remember clearly what happened during the festival last year. While the elders (3) {are playing | was playing | *were playing | played} traditional games in the courtyard of the communal house, the younger generation was busy in the craft workshop. We were learning how to make beautiful lanterns and cook our (4) {basic | *national | magnificent | ancient} dish: five-coloured sticky rice. It was a beautiful scene. Children would often walk (5) {face to face | barely | *barefoot | deeply} on the cool grass, laughing and chasing each other. Suddenly, the weather changed. Heavy rain and strong winds appeared out of nowhere. It felt like a natural (6) {*disaster | resource | festival | monument} was about to strike. The wind was so fierce that it broke the old (7) {ketchup | vinegar | pancake | *windmill} near the river. We had to rush inside the pagoda to stay safe. Sitting in the dark, I thought to myself, “I wish the storm (8) {stops | *stopped | will stop | is stopping} right now.” Fortunately, the storm passed quickly. The next morning, the village gathered to assess the situation. Although some antique items were ruined, the spirit of (9) {nightmare | *friendship | damage | relics} and solidarity remained strong. We decided to take pride in our resilience. Everyone made a (10) {*contribution | heritage | pagoda | culture} to clean up the village and repair the damage. Thanks to the dedicated youth, the weaving workshop was operational again within two days.
