C. một đường thẳng trên cỏ
Thông tin: At the end of January, even further north, in the Shetland Islands, there’s another fire festival, the Up Helly Aa. This seems like an ancient festival, but has actually only been going for about 130 years – well, it is fairly old, I suppose. People carry fire-lit torches and a Viking boat through the streets, then set fire to the boat.
Tạm dịch: Vào cuối tháng 1, thậm chí xa hơn về phía bắc, tại Quần đảo Shetland, có một lễ hội lửa khác, Up Helly Aa. Đây có vẻ như là một lễ hội cổ xưa, nhưng thực sự chỉ mới diễn ra được khoảng 130 năm – thật ra, nó khá cũ, tôi cho là vậy. Mọi người mang theo những ngọn đuốc rực lửa và một chiếc thuyền Viking qua các đường phố, sau đó đốt lửa cho thuyền.

Question 43: The Clavie is __________________.
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.
A Japanese construction company plans to create a huge independent city-state, akin to the legendary Atlantis, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The city, dubbed “Marinnation”, would have about one million inhabitants, two airports, and possibly even a space port. Marinnation, if built, would be a separate country but could serve as a home for international organisations such as the United Nations and the World Bank.
Aside from the many political and social problems that would have to be solved, the engineering task envisaged is monumental. The initial stage requires the building of a circular dam eighteen miles in diameter attached to the sea bed in a relatively shallow place in international waters. Then, several hundred powerful pumps, operating for more than a year, would suck out the sea water from within the dam. When empty and dry, the area would have a city constructed on it. The actual land would be about 300 feet below the sea level. According to designers, the hardest task from an engineering point of view would be to ensure that the dam is leak proof and earthquake proof.
If all goes well, it is hoped that Marinnation could be ready for habitation at the end of the second decade of the twenty-first century. Whether anyone would want to live in such an isolated and artificial community, however, will remain an open question until that time.
Question 33: According to the text, Marrination, when built, will be a(an)_______ city.
