The Power of Green Technology

2021 will be the most significant year yet for combating climate change. Two recent
developments have made this possible.

First, while scientists warn the world that the worst impacts of climate change will soon
be felt if we do not reduce emissions dramatically, these impacts can already be seen.
From the historic and deadly wildfires in Australia and California, to severe flooding
around the world, there is no denying that climate change is already disrupting our
daily lives. At the same time, support for climate action has never been stronger as
society is ever more unified against the threat of climate change.

Second, we are seeing promising technologies which will bring carbon-free energy
within reach. Not long ago it was very hard to imagine a constant carbon-free electricity
supply as the wind does not always blow and there is no sun at night. However, better
energy storage and the reduction of costs associated with wind and solar power, have
made the world more optimistic. Compared to ten years ago, it costs 70% less to
produce wind power and this reduction is even higher, 89%, when it comes to the
production of solar power.

Another one of those promising technologies is artificial technology (AI). Mainly


technological companies use AI to optimise electricity consumption in their
workplaces. Their approach can also be used by other commercial buildings, including
airports and shopping malls. AI can also be used to make wind power more
predictable, which will increase the value, utilization and adoption of renewable
energy.

Technology is helping cities reduce their carbon emissions. This is a critical step
forward as cities contribute over 70% of the world’s greenhouse-gas emissions.
Technology is also helping communities adapt to the effects of climate change that
are already apparent. Scientists, for example, are in a position to use satellite data to

22

map wild-fires in real time and better predict how they might spread. In India, flood
forecasting models use AI to predict when floods will hit and how deep the waters will
get, helping save lives.

There is no doubt that global frameworks to ensure we are working towards the same
goals. This is possible as we have seen this kind of collaboration during the pandemic.
The private sector and governments have worked together to deliver personal
protective equipment, medical devices and contacting apps needed to fight the virus.
This strong partnership will be just as critical in fighting climate change.

90. Australia and California have already suffered from ______.


A very serious floods
B dramatic emissions
C wildfires that killed people
D a reduction in emissions

91. What is true about society?


A Society is unified against climate change.
B There is weak support in favour of climate change.
C There is no disruption in everyday life.
D Society does not want to take action against climate change.

92. Constant carbon-free energy ______.


A will never be possible
B is a reality because of promising technologies
C is based on wind blowing at night
D has made the world less optimistic

93. What has helped the development of carbon-free energy?


A The lack of storage methods.
B The increase in cost using the sun.
C How expensive it is to produce it.
D The reduction of costs producing it.

23

94. Artificial intelligence (AI) ______.


A cannot be used in commercial buildings
B helps companies improve electricity consumption
C is used at airports but not shopping malls
D is only used by technological companies

95. Predicting wind power with the use of AI will ______ of renewable energy.
A increase the value and utilization
B decrease the utilization and adoption
C decrease the value or adoption
D either increase the value or utilization

96. How do scientists use satellite data?


A They predict when the next wild-fire will happen.
B They map wild-fires as they happen.
C They predict how floods might spread in India.
D They map where the next wild-fire will hit.

97. During the pandemic ______.


A only the private sector has delivered medical devices to the world
B only governments have set up contacting apps to fight it
C governments and the private sector have collaborated
D the private sector is fighting climate change

Extended Reading 3 (8 Questions)

Shakespeare Four Hundred Years On

More than four hundred years after he died, in 1616, William Shakespeare is still one
of the most influential forces in the world of theatre and cinema today. Back in 1999,
people in Britain chose Shakespeare as the "Man of the Millennium" – the greatest
Briton in 1000 years.

The works of Shakespeare have been translated into all of the major languages in the
world – over 80 languages; 400 years after he died, Shakespeare is studied in schools
and universities worldwide, and throughout the world he is still considered by many as
the greatest writer of all time.

Shakespeare's plays have been made into over 420 films – far more than any other
author – and each year there are hundreds of Shakespeare festivals worldwide,
including many in non-English-speaking countries like Poland, Germany, France,
Spain, Japan or Argentina. For a writer who died 400 years ago, this volume of
attention and respect is incredible, almost unbelievable.

In short, Shakespeare is seen as the world's greatest writer because he was an


incredibly good one. Shakespeare distinguished himself from other writers of his time,
in that while many other writers mastered one side of dramatic art, Shakespeare
mastered them all. He could write amazing poetry, but he was also a master of
ordinary prose dialogue; he could write lines of the most tragic sincerity, but he was
also a master of comedy and he could even mix comedy and tragedy in the same play,
inventing the dramatic technique known as "comic relief".

One surprising thing about Shakespeare's plays is that few of the stories were original.
Most frequently, Shakespeare took well-known stories, or stories from history, and
even classic plots of situational comedy, and retold the stories in his own words.

25

On the other hand, one area in which Shakespeare was amazingly original was in his
use of the English language; literally hundreds of words and expressions that are still
in common use today were invented by Shakespeare. These include vanish into thin
air, foul play, a tower of strength, the wish is father to the thought
and a foregone conclusion. Many of these expressions have since been translated
into other languages, too.

Indeed, universality is Shakespeare's greatest strength, and the reason for


his enduring success. His tragedies are not just about the characters in them; they are
about humanity. Hamlet is not just a play about the troubles of a Danish prince, but a
tragedy about revenge and being true to oneself. Shakespeare's history plays are not
just stories; in them he explores the universal themes of loyalty and treachery, power
and the abuse of power, strategy and choices.

In 2016, a worldwide survey by the British Council, marking the 400th anniversary of
Shakespeare's death, found that Shakespeare is actually more popular today outside
Britain than in Britain itself. This is surely due to the fact that in many parts of the world,
Shakespeare's plays are read in modern translations which are understandable by all.
In Britain, Shakespeare is usually studied and presented in the original 16th/17th
century English in which it was written, which is not always easy to understand,
especially for teenagers in school.

26

98. When did Shakespeare die?


A in 400
B in 1000
C in 1616
D in 1999

99. What is true about the works of Shakespeare?


A They have been translated into over 80 languages.
B They were studied at universities 80 years ago.
C They were studied at schools 400 years ago.
D They have been translated in 400 languages.

100. Shakespeare festivals ______.


A cannot be found in Poland and Spain
B are only found in France and Argentina
C show that people do not pay attention to his work anymore
D can be found in countries whose English is not their first language

101. What does “one” refer to in the fourth paragraph?


A world
B writer
C short
D Shakespeare

102. What could Shakespeare do differently than other writers?


A He mastered all sides of dramatic art.
B He was an amazing poet but not good with prose.
C He was a master of tragedy but not of comedy.
D He could rarely apply the “comic relief” technique.

27

103. Shakespeare’s plays were ______.


A all based on original stories
B all based on historical plots
C usually retold, well-known stories
D only plots of situational comedy

104. What is true about Shakespeare and the English language?


A He was the father of English thought.
B They both vanished in thin air.
C He would translate expressions from other languages.
D He invented many of the words and expressions used today.

105. Shakespeare’s stories ______.


A are about the characters in them
B explore universal themes
C never endured success
D abuse the powers of a Danish prince
