34) Read the passage below and answer the question that follows.

Caffeine, the stimulant in coffee, has been called “the most widely used psychoactive substance on Earth.” Synder, Daly and Bruns have recently proposed that
caffeine affects behaviour by countering the activity in the human brain of a naturally occurring chemical called adenosine. Adenosine normally depresses neuron
firing in many areas of the brain. It apparently does this by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters, chemicals that carry nerve impulses from one neuron to the
next. Like many other agents that affect neuron firing, adenosine must first bind to specific receptors on neuronal membranes. There are at least two classes of
these receptors, which have been designated A1 and A2. Snyder et al propose that caffeine, which is structurally similar to adenosine, is able to bind to both types
of receptors, which prevents adenosine from attaching there and allows the neurons to fire more readily than they otherwise would.

For many years, caffeine’s effects have been attributed to its inhibition of the production of phosphodiesterase, an enzyme that breaks down the chemical called
cyclic AMP. A number of neurotransmitters exert their effects by first increasing cyclic AMP concentrations in target neurons. Therefore, prolonged periods at the
elevated concentrations, as might be brought about by a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, could lead to a greater amount of neuron firing and, consequently, to
behavioural stimulation. But Snyder et al point out that the caffeine concentrations needed to inhibit the production of phosphodiesterase in the brain are much
higher than those that produce stimulation. Moreover, other compounds that block phosphodiesterase’s activity are not stimulants.

To buttress their case that caffeine acts instead by preventing adenosine binding, Snyder et al compared the stimulatory effects of a series of caffeine derivatives
with their ability to dislodge adenosine from its receptors in the brains of mice. “In general,” they reported, “the ability of the compounds to compete at the
receptors correlates with their ability to stimulate locomotion in the mouse; i.e., the higher their capacity to bind at the receptors, the higher their ability to
stimulate locomotion.”

Theophylline, a close structural relative of caffeine and the major stimulant in tea, was one of the most effective compounds in both regards.There were some
apparent exceptions to the general correlation observed between adenosine‐receptor binding and stimulation. One of these was a compound called 3‐isobuty1‐1‐
methylxanthine(IBMX), which bound very well but actually depressed mouse locomotion. Snyder et al suggest that this is not a major stumbling block to their
hypothesis. The problem is that the compound has mixed effects in the brain, a not unusual occurrence with psychoactive drugs. Even caffeine, which is generally
known only for its stimulatory effects, displays this property, depressing mouse locomotion at very low concentrations and stimulating it at higher ones.

The primary purpose of the passage is to

[Question ID = 4505]
1. describe an alternative hypothesis and provide evidence and arguments that support it

[Option ID = 18017]

elevated concentrations, as might be brought about by a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, could lead to a greater amount of neuron firing and, consequently, to
behavioural stimulation. But Snyder et al point out that the caffeine concentrations needed to inhibit the production of phosphodiesterase in the brain are much
higher than those that produce stimulation. Moreover, other compounds that block phosphodiesterase’s activity are not stimulants.

To buttress their case that caffeine acts instead by preventing adenosine binding, Snyder et al compared the stimulatory effects of a series of caffeine derivatives
with their ability to dislodge adenosine from its receptors in the brains of mice. “In general,” they reported, “the ability of the compounds to compete at the
receptors correlates with their ability to stimulate locomotion in the mouse; i.e., the higher their capacity to bind at the receptors, the higher their ability to
stimulate locomotion.”

Theophylline, a close structural relative of caffeine and the major stimulant in tea, was one of the most effective compounds in both regards.There were some
apparent exceptions to the general correlation observed between adenosine‐receptor binding and stimulation. One of these was a compound called 3‐isobuty1‐1‐
methylxanthine(IBMX), which bound very well but actually depressed mouse locomotion. Snyder et al suggest that this is not a major stumbling block to their
hypothesis. The problem is that the compound has mixed effects in the brain, a not unusual occurrence with psychoactive drugs. Even caffeine, which is generally
known only for its stimulatory effects, displays this property, depressing mouse locomotion at very low concentrations and stimulating it at higher ones.

According to Snyder et al, caffeine differs from adenosine in that caffeine

36) Read the passage below and answer the question that follows.

Caffeine, the stimulant in coffee, has been called “the most widely used psychoactive substance on Earth.” Synder, Daly and Bruns have recently proposed that
caffeine affects behaviour by countering the activity in the human brain of a naturally occurring chemical called adenosine. Adenosine normally depresses neuron
firing in many areas of the brain. It apparently does this by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters, chemicals that carry nerve impulses from one neuron to the
next. Like many other agents that affect neuron firing, adenosine must first bind to specific receptors on neuronal membranes. There are at least two classes of
these receptors, which have been designated A1 and A2. Snyder et al propose that caffeine, which is structurally similar to adenosine, is able to bind to both types
of receptors, which prevents adenosine from attaching there and allows the neurons to fire more readily than they otherwise would.

49) Read the passage below and answer the question that follows.

Ever since Naomi Osaka won her first title in 2018 at Indian Wells – dubbed the fifth Grand Slam in tennis – and backed up that victory by defeating the legendary
Serena Williams in the very next tournament in Miami, she has lived a life under the spotlight.

Anointed the next big thing in women’s tennis, she duly won her first Major at the 2018 US Open by beating Serena in the final. Since then, she has won three
more hard‐court Majors, established herself as one of the world’s best, and according to Forbes, is the best‐paid female athlete ever, earning $55 million from
endorsements alone in the past 12 months. All through this success, her calm and poise have stood out and the head that wore the crown didn’t seem to hang
heavy. This was especially true during that US Open final, which will be equally remembered for Serena’s running in with the chair umpire and the partisan crowd
booing Osaka for denying Serena a record‐equalling 24th singles Grand Slam.

Off court, Osaka’s was a leading voice in the Black Lives Matter movement against police brutality. Born to a Japanese mother and a Haitian‐American father, she
has lived nearly all her life in the US. At the 2020 US Open that she won, she wore seven masks for seven matches, each highlighting the name of a victim of
racial injustice.

Seen in this context, Osaka’s decision ahead of the ongoing French Open to shun the obligatory press conference because she didn’t want to “subject herself to
people who doubt her” and her refusal to engage on the same with the authorities seemed surprising. For someone who had taken to the big stage like a duck to
water and lit up the occasions she graced with refreshing candour, it seemed out of step.

Also, for the first time, Osaka detailed her struggles with depression and anxiety, setting the stage for reflection. The terms of the debate however, had been set
by then.

Osaka is probably the first of global tennis superstars to have lived a life entirely under the influence of social media. The absolute control of the message it offers
has often led to players shunning conventional media. But as Osaka found out, while one‐way communication offers freedom, there is very little space for dialogue
and certainly no immunity from the backlash a loosely worded or wrongly timed message can potentially generate.
