Sweden can be one of the first countries to stop using cash. In most cities, buses do not take

economy, there is not as much crime in Sweden.

only a few people have a bank account, but lots of Kenyan have mobile phone. Now people can
pay for things in shops, pay their bills and their children’s school fees, and receive their salary with
their phones. Kenya has led a revolution in mobile banking. (Adapted from

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.
1. It is often held that technology in general does little to help family relationships as, in many
cases, family members are more interested in their smartphones and the TV than they are in each
other. Before smartphones the TV was blamed the most for breakdowns in communication
between parents and children. It was argued that “the box” stop them from talking to each other, and
clashes between family members over what programs to watch create barriers and cause resentment.
However, TV programs can be booth informative and entertaining. They often provide
topics for family members to discuss, bring them closer together rather than driving them further
away. What is more, twenty-first century families do not need to watch the same program at the
same time. The fact that people can watch what they want results in more time for families to be
together rather than less.
The smartphone has taken over from the TV as a major reason for the lack of
communication between family members. Parents often do not see why their children spend so
much time online and fail to see the importance of having an online identity while most teens feel
125
their online image is part of who they are. They often criticize the amount of time their children
spend online rather than attempting to understand why they do it. In fact, adults are often not very
good examples themselves. Who has not witnessed a table at a restaurant where all the family
members are silently focused on their mobile devices?
Broadly speaking, smartphones do have some negative effects on family relationships. This
technology is still relatively new, so many families have not yet learned how to deal with it.
Parents and children should discuss how they use technology to help them all to make the most of
technology instead of blaming it for their problems. (Adapted from High Note)
1. Which of the following can be the title for the passage?
A. How to Deal with Generation Gap in the Family
B. How Technology Affects Family Relationships
C. Negative Impacts of Technology on Schoolchildren
D. TV and Smartphones as Means of Communication
2. The word ‘clashes’ in paragraph 1 is the closest in meaning to ______.

A. makes family members become more interested in each other
B. is often believed to be greatly helpful in fostering family bonds
C. encouraged more communication among family members
D. was claimed to prevent parents from conversing with children
4. The word ‘them’ in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. family members B. barriers C. topics D. TV programs
5. The word ‘negative’ in paragraph 4 is the closest in meaning to ______.
A. positive B. minimal C. interesting D. harmful
6. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?

B. The majority of teenagers regard their online image as important to their identity.
C. The TV can serve as a source of both information and entertainment.

2. Do you find yourself yawning all day at school? You probably need more sleep. However, it is
not just how much sleep you get that is important. What you do before bedtime also has a huge
effect on how you feel the next day. If you spend time chatting to someone on social media, or
reading a book on your e-reader, you are not alone.
All devices’ screens give out a large amount of blue light, which affects the body’s production
of the sleep hormone, melatonin, which can change your sleep patterns. So it is not just getting to
sleep that becomes hard, but the quality of your sleep also suffers. The result is that you can wake
up several times during the night, and have difficulty getting up in the morning.
Sleep is food for the brain, so not sleeping well can be a severe problem for anyone, especially
for teenagers, because their brains are still developing. When you do not sleep well, it can be
difficult to concentrate at school, which makes it harder to learn and get good grades. It can also
affect your mood, making you feel sad or anxious.
So, it is clear you should not use your phone before you go to sleep. Why not leave it in another
126
room? Nothing on social media is so important that it cannot wait a few hours! You should
rediscover paper books and enjoy feeling tired and sleepy before bedtime rather than wondering
why your best friend has not liked your photo! How will you wake up? You do not have to use the
alarm on your phone. Go and buy yourself an old-fashioned alarm clock! The negative effects that

In 2007, at a heavily hyped press event in San Francisco, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs stood on
stage and unveiled a revolutionary product that not only broke the mould but also set an entirely
new paradigm for computer-based phones. The look, interface and core functionality of nearly
129
every smartphone to come along since is, in some form or another, derived from the original
iPhone’s innovative touchscreen-centric design.
Among some of the ground-breaking features was an expansive and responsive display from which
to check email, stream video, play audio, and browse the internet with a mobile browser that
loaded full websites, much like what is experienced on personal computers. Apple’s unique iOS
operating system allowed for a wide range of intuitive gesture-based commands and eventually, a
rapidly growing warehouse of downloadable third-party applications.
Most importantly, the iPhone reoriented people’s relationship with smartphones. Up to then, they
were generally geared toward businesspeople and enthusiasts who saw them as an invaluable tool
for staying organized, corresponding over email, and boosting their productivity. Apple’s version
took it to a whole other level as a full-blown multimedia powerhouse, enabling users to play
games, watch movies, chat, share content, and stay connected to all the possibilities that we are all
still constantly rediscovering. (Adapted from https://www.thoughtco.com/)

Today, Snyder is seeing the fruits of the collaboration. In a recent issue of the Journal of
Comparative Psychology (Vol. 117, No. 3), the research group published the first study of giant
panda cub-rearing and separation. The study is the first step in examining the impact of a common
breeding practice in China: separating captive cubs before they are six months old so that the
mothers will be able to reproduce again sooner. Cubs in the wild stay with their mothers for 1.5 to
2.5 years.
Snyder and her co-authors, including Maple and psychologist Mollie Bloomsmith, PhD, theorize
that separating cubs from their mothers too early may harm their social development, and could
underlie why so many captive pandas fail to breed. Captive males often show little sexual interest
in females or are too aggressive.
The research team has also conducted urinary and behavioral analyses of female giant pandas
during the breeding season, which is generally in the spring, and is examining the behavior of giant
panda mothers. Graduate student Megan Wilson, who also has worked in Chengdu, is investigating
sequences of play-fighting for her dissertation. And former graduate student and Chengdu
researcher Loraine Tarou, PhD, examined giant panda cognition.
Tarou, now an assistant professor at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, is the first to
examine how captive pandas forage for food and learn to adapt to changes in their environment.
She compared her findings with the cognition of the spectacled bear and found that while both use
spatial memory to find food, the spectacled bears used visual cues the pandas did not pick up on.
130
The finding indicates that giant pandas' reliance on spatial memory alone may cause them to have
difficulty when their food sources are abruptly changed or moved--a big problem for an animal that
consumes nearly 30 pounds of bamboo a day.
While such basic research may not have immediate application, says Tarou, it is contributing to
scientists' growing knowledge of the species. (Adapted from https://www.apa.org/)

Gender education is one of the most pressing issues in society today. Adolescent students are
vulnerable to issues such as rape, underage pregnancy, and other related concerns. Therefore,
gender education plays a crucial role in fostering a society that embraces equality and empowers
individuals irrespective of their gender identities. By providing comprehensive knowledge and
understanding of gender-related issues, this form of education aims to challenge stereotypes,
promote inclusivity, and empower individuals to make informed choices.
Hanoi police have launched an investigation into a case in which a man was accused of raping a
girl on various occasion, and getting her pregnant. The alleged rapist, whose identity has not been
revealed, is now under house arrest, police in Thanh Tri District announced on Sunday. He is a
neighbor of the girl, now 12.
In early January, the girl’s family detected abnormal signs in her physical health, including a
bigger belly, so they took her to a hospital for a checkup. Only then did they learn she was six-
months pregnant. The girl later said the neighbor had raped her on several occasions.
On April 17, she was taken to Hanoi Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital for a C-section. Those
found guilty of raping a minor can receive a jail sentence of 7 to 15 years. They can receive a death
sentence for gang rape, if the act causes serious physical or mental damage, or if the victim is less

Mass media, including television, the internet, and social media, plays a significant role in the
lives of teenagers today. While it offers several advantages, it also presents some disadvantages.
One of the key advantages of mass media for teenagers is that it provides access to a vast
amount of information. Through newspapers, TV news, and online platforms, teenagers can stay
updated on current events and expand their knowledge on various subjects. Moreover, mass media
facilitates communication and connection among teenagers around the globe, allowing them to
share ideas and experiences.
Additionally, mass media offers entertainment and relaxation. Television shows, movies, and
online videos provide a means of escapism from the stress of daily life for teenagers. They can also
discover new forms of art, music, and literature, fostering creativity and cultural appreciation.
However, there are also disadvantages to consider. One major concern is the potential for
exposure to inappropriate or harmful content. With unrestricted access to the internet, teenagers
may come across explicit material, violence, or misinformation. Moreover, excessive use of mass
media can lead to sedentary lifestyles, contributing to physical health problems such as obesity and
poor eyesight. Another drawback is the impact on mental health. Constant exposure to idealized
images and lifestyles portrayed in mass media can create unrealistic expectations and lower self-
esteem among teenagers. It may also contribute to cyberbullying and online harassment, affecting
their emotional well-being.
In conclusion, mass media offers numerous advantages for teenagers, including access to
information, entertainment, and global connectivity. However, it is crucial for parents and
guardians to guide and monitor their media consumption to mitigate the potential disadvantages.
By striking a balance, teenagers can harness the benefits of mass media while protecting their well-
being. (Adapted from Internet)

When it comes to education options for school-leavers, there are several paths to consider.
One common option is pursuing higher education at a university or college. This path typically
involves obtaining a bachelor’s degree in a chosen field of study, which can provide a solid
foundation for various career opportunities. Universities and colleges offer a wide range of
academic programs, allowing school-leavers to explore their interests and specialize in areas that
align with their career aspirations.
144
Another option for school-leavers is vocational education and training (VET) programs. VET
emphasizes providing practical skills and knowledge that directly apply to specific industries or
trades. These programs offer hands-on training, preparing individuals for careers in fields such as
healthcare, information technology, construction, hospitality, and automotive industries. VET
programs often include apprenticeships or internships, allowing students to gain valuable work
experience while studying.
For those who prefer a more experiential approach, apprenticeships can be a valuable
education option. Apprenticeships combine on-the-job training with classroom instruction,
allowing school-leavers to earn while they learn. They provide a unique opportunity to gain
practical skills and industry-specific knowledge directly from professionals in the field.
Apprenticeships are available in a variety of industries, such as construction, culinary arts,
electrical work, and healthcare.
Ultimately, the choice of education option for school-leavers depends on individual interests,
goals, and learning preferences. Whether it’s pursuing higher education at a university, enrolling in
a vocational program, or embarking on an apprenticeship, each path offers distinct advantages and
can lead to rewarding career paths. It's important for school-leavers to explore and evaluate these
options carefully to make an informed decision that aligns with their aspirations and sets them on a
path to success. (Adapted from Education Week)

Independence and personal choice are considered as a high value on Australians place.
Therefore, rather than telling students exactly what to do, teachers and course tutors give them a
few different options and suggest they pick the one that works best for them. They also expect
students to take charge if things don't go as planned and to find help and support on their own.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one
truth. This means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own
opinions and defend the reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with disparity in social status and therefore admire the
concept of treating everyone equally. An example of this is how the majority of Australian
adults address each other by their first names. This emphasis on equality results in Australians
feeling uneasy about taking things too seriously and being willing to make jokes about
themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a
consequence, some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but
study. Australian notions of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and
relationships are only discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such
information, they may resent someone actually asking them unless the friendship is firmly
established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to ask someone what they earn.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of
the question.
Bali, the fabled "Island of the Gods", has been enchanting visitors for centuries with its rich
cultural traditions and spectacular panoramas. From lofty, mist enshrouded volcanoes and cool
mountain lakes down through terraced rice fields to a golden strand lapped by azure waters, every
square inch of Bali offers a fresh and unforgettable image.
No less enchanting are its people, some 2.7 million souls whose artistry and piety are
recognized throughout the world Balinese Hinduism, a complex fusion of Indian cosmology.
Tantric Buddhism and homegrown mythology, is the primary faith of Bali's inhabitants, and so
deeply woven into the fabric of their daily lives that the line between the spiritual and the material
is blurry at best.
Those of you keen on delving into the island's fascinating culture will have plenty of
opportunities, as colorful ceremonies and traditional performances occur with regularity of sunrise.
Most hotels offer nightly dance shows of one form or another, tailored to tourist audiences but
none the less exquisite. The hill town of Ubud, the island's premier arts center, also has a full
schedule of performance, and the nearby stone-cutter's village of Batubulan is famed for its Barong
lion dances. The shoppers among you will find Bali a treasure house of handicrafts and fine works
of art. The Balinese are incredibly gifted artists and craftsmen, and their material creations are
imbued with the same sense of wonderment with which they regard their universe. Stone and wood
carvings, traditional and modern paintings and intricately designed jewelry in gold and silver are
readily in shops and galleries throughout the island.
As for recreation, there is no shortage of option. Nature walks, horseback riding, diving,
surfing, even bungy jumping, and white water rafting await the adventurous here.

the question.
Advocates of the laws and journalists who cover the issue often neglect to ask what will
replace plastic bags and what the environmental impact of that replacement will be. People still
need bags to bring home their groceries. And the most common substitute, paper bags, may be just
as bad or worse, depending on the environmental problem you are most concerned about.
150
That is leading to a split in the anti-bag movement. Some bills, like in Massachusetts, try to
reduce the use of paper bags as well as plastic, but still favour paper. Others, like in New York
City, treat all single-use bags equally. Even then, the question remains as to whether single-use
bags are necessarily always worse than reusable ones.
Studies of bags’ environmental impacts over their life cycle have reached widely varying
conclusions. Some are funded by plastic industry groups, like the ironically named American
Progressive Bag Alliance. Even studies conducted with the puret of intentions depend on any
number of assumptions. How many plastic bags are replaced by one cotton tote bag? If a plastic
bag is reused in the home as the garbage bag in a bathroom waste bin, does that reduce its footprint
by eliminating the need for another small plastic garbage bag?
If your chief concern is climate change, things get even muddier. One of the most
comprehensive research papers on the environmental impact of bags, published in 2007 by an
Australian state government agency, found that paper bags have a higher carbon footprint than
plastic. That is primarily because more energy is required to produce and transport paper bags.
“People look at paper and say it’s degradable, therefore it’s much better for the environment,
but it’s not in terms of climate change impact,” says David Tyler, a professor of chemistry at the
University of Oregon who has examined the research on the environmental impact of bag use. The
reasons for paper’s higher carbon footprint are complex but can mostly be understood as stemming
from the fact that paper bags are much thicker than plastic bags. “Very broadly, carbon footprints
are proportional to mass of an object,” says Tyler. For example, because paper bags take up so
much more space, more trucks are needed to ship paper bags to a store than to ship plastic bags.

The Chinese government has removed pangolin scales from its 2020 list of approved ingredients
used in traditional Chinese medicine, a move campaigners describe as a “critical step” towards
saving the world’s most trafficked mammal.
Pangolins are highly valued in Asia for scales, which many people believe can improve blood
circulation and reduce inflammation. Last year alone, authorities confiscated more than 130 tons
of illegal pangolin related products. There are eight species of pangolin found in Asia and Africa.
To date, three species are listed as critically endangered by the International Union for
Conservation of Nature, while the remaining five are listed as either vulnerable or endangered.
According to Chinese media, the latest edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia - an official government
list of drugs covering approved traditional Chinese and Western medicines - no longer includes
pangolin scales. The decision to remove the pangolin from the official list comes just days after
China’s State Forestry and Grassland Bureau announced that the Chinese pangolin would be
upgraded to a “first-level protected wild animal,” the highest possible protection status alongside
pandas and tigers.
While conservationists from China and other countries have praised the actions of Chinese
authorities, some still felt that they came a bit too late. “Many years have passed. How many
pangolins have already been hunted and killed?” said Sophia Zhang, director of the Pangolin
Working Group at the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation.

Despite the easing of lockdowns across the world, many businesses continue to operate largely
online. However, this new business model has exposed a problem: cyber attackers are
disproportionately targeting people of colour and ethnic minorities during this pandemic.
Rashad Robinson, the executive director of Color of Change, the United States’ largest online
racial justice organisation, which has lobbied social media companies to address civil rights
violations on their platforms through many public campaigns, says the Black, Asian and minority
156
ethnic (BAME) community faces “immediate danger” when working on the video call platform
Zoom, where hackers are still actively searching for loopholes to specifically target BAME
communities online.
Robinson explained that these are not random pranks by individuals, but a coordinated effort.
“Color of Change have been contacted by at least 15 groups who have had their gatherings
hijacked,” he added. For instance, a virtual casting call for black actors, a meeting between
minority students and lecturers to discuss racism in universities, and a series of online talks about
the aftermath of George Floyd’s death were targeted on Zoom. Another Zoom event with speakers
from White Coats for Black Lives, an organisation of BAME medical students tackling racism
within the US’s healthcare system, was hijacked.
Lydia Amoah, a diversity specialist, was a target of a racially-motivated cyber-attack during a
webinar with 100 of her colleagues, clients and industry experts in April. “I felt sick for five days
after the hackers attacked. I felt so unsafe online, where I have no choice but to work [...] Even
now I feel hot [and] defenseless, they could see me but I couldn’t see them.” Amoah is now
advising businesses and other companies on how to deal with racism in the virtual workspace. Her
new policy, the STOPIT Protocol, offers businesses a step-by-step guide on how to protect
workers online, and has already been implemented by some UK charities and organisations.
Color of Change has been in contact with Zoom and has asked the company to release a specific
plan to combat racial harassment on the platform and apologise to targets of Zoom bombings, but
Lydia believes responsibility also lies with employers who have not taken measures to protect
minorities in the virtual workspace. “The first step is sharing our stories, the next is for companies
to start implementing real and lasting policies that will protect all of their users.”

Every year, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) conducts a fascinating survey to
determine which cities around the world provide “the best or worst living conditions”. It uses
factors such as climate, transport, education, safety, and recreational facilities for around 140 world
cities. It gives scores for each, and then ranks the cities in order - from the ‘best’ to the worst’.
This year all of the top ten cities came from either Canada, Australia, or Western Europe.
Vancouver, Canada had the highest score, which means it is the most ‘liveable’city. Two other
Canadian cities, Toronto (4th place) and Calgary (5th), were also in the top five. In second place
was Vienna (Austria) followed by Melbourne (Australia). The final two cities in the top ten were
Adelaide (Australia) in 9th place and Auckland (New Zealand) in 10th. At the bottom of the list
were the cities with the most difficult or dangerous living conditions.
The city with the lowest score was Harare, Zimbabwe, in 140th place. Some other African cities,
such as Lagos, Nigeria, also did badly. This could be because of climate, or the political situation
in these countries. In the middle of the list came big cosmopolitan cities with their transport and
crime problems. These included Paris (17th), London (54th), and New York (56th). The Japanese
cities of Osaka and Tokyo did better, however. These cities (both in the top twenty) also had the
biggest scores in Asia along with Singapore and Hong Kong.

In recent times developing commercial revenues has become more challenging for airports due
to a combination of factors, such as increased competition from Internet shopping, restrictions on
certain sales, such as tobacco, and new security procedures that have had an impact on the dwell
time of passengers. Moreover, the global economic downturn has caused a reduction in passenger
numbers while those that are travelling generally have less money to spend. This has meant that the
share of revenue from non-aeronautical revenues actually peaked at 54% at the turn of the century
and has subsequently declined slightly. Meanwhile, the pressures to control the level of
aeronautical revenues are as strong as ever due to the poor financial health of many airlines and the
rapid rise of the low-cost carrier sector.
Some of the more obvious solutions to growing commercial revenues, such as extending the
merchandising space or expanding the variety of shopping opportunities, have already been tried to
their limit at many airports. A more radical solution is to find new sources of commercial revenue
within the terminal, and this has been explored by many airports over the last decade or so. As a
result, many terminals are now much more than just shopping malls and offer an array of
entertainment, leisure, and beauty and wellness facilities. At this stage of facilities provision, the
airport also has the possibility of taking on the role of the final destination rather than merely a
facilitator of access.
At the same time, airports have been developing and expanding the range of services that they
provide specifically for the business traveller in the terminal. This includes offering business
centres that supply support services, meeting or conference rooms and other space for special
events. Within this context, Jarach (2001) discusses how dedicated meetings facilities located
within the terminal and managed directly by the airport operator may be regarded as an expansion
of the concept of airline lounges or as a way to reconvert abandoned or underused areas of terminal
buildings. Previously it was primarily airport
hotels and other facilities offered in the surrounding area of the airport that had the potential to take
on this role and become active as a business space (McNeill, 2009).

There is nothing to suggest that Evelyn Glennie is profoundly deaf. She insists that her
deafness is irrelevant to her musicianship, but there is no doubt that her obvious handicap has
turned a remarkable career into a miraculous one.
Glennie was eight when her hearing began to fail; by twelve she had lost it completely and
feared she would have to give up the music she loved. But a doctor’s suggestion that she should
become an accountant rather than follow a hopeless musical career strengthened her will to
succeed.
As it turned out, music was one of the most advantageous careers she could have chosen and is
one reason why her speech remains so extraordinarily correct, despite her deafness. Occasionally
she listens to recordings by holding a cassette player between her knees, interpreting the vibrations
and the shaking movements. Her deafness is one of the reasons for her unique style, for she cannot
listen and be influenced by other performances and she has often declared that getting her hearing
back would be the worst thing that could happen to her.
As a result of her devotion to her music and her determination to succeed, she has doubled the
range of works available for percussion music in Europe and introduced instruments previously
unheard of in the west. She has also asked composers to write more than fifty new pieces of music
for these instruments, and has set up a library of three hundred works for other musicians to use.

The authors noted that while other forms of pollution are decreasing, noise pollution has been
increasing. This conclusion is reinforced by the fact that there has been an increase in the number
166
of people who have been complaining about excessive noise in the WHO region. Populations that
are exposed to high noise levels can be afflicted by other symptoms such as: stress reactions, sleep-
stage changes, and clinical symptoms like hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. All these
impacts can contribute to premature mortality. It is important to note that these adverse health
problems impact all age groups including children and adolescents. In fact, it has been reported that
children who live and or study in an area afflicted with noise pollution tend to suffer from stress,
impairments in memory and attention as well as difficulty reading.
“In Western Europe, the guidelines say, traffic noise results in an annual loss of at least one
million healthy years”. Traffic noise is currently ranked second among environmental threats to
public health.
The danger of noise pollution is more present to us when we are asleep. Because the human ear
is so sensitive, it never rests, it is always working, picking up and transmitting sounds for our
brains to interpret. This always on working process is where the danger lies, though you may be
sleeping, sounds are still being picked up and processed. The most common side effects of this
phenomenon are sleep disturbance and tiredness, impaired memory judgment, and psychomotor
skills. The other more serious outcomes of this can be the triggering of the body’s acute stress
response, which raises blood pressure and heart rate as the body and brain go into a state of
hyperarousal. According to the European Environment Agency, at least 10,000 cases of premature
deaths from noise exposure occur each year, although incomplete data mean this number is
significantly underestimated.
Question 36. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Noise in the WHO Region B. environmental threats
C. Increase in Noise, Increase in Risk D. Side Effects of Tiredness
Question 37. According to paragraph 2, in Western Europe, an annual loss of at least one million
healthy years is resulted from _______.
A. guidelines B. environment threats C. traffic noise D. public health
Question 38. The word premature in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. slow B. late C. quick D. early
Question 39. The word it in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. human ear B. sound C. the danger D. side effect
Question 40. The word afflicted in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. assumed B. illustrated C. affected D. described
Question 41. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the article as a symptom caused by
exposure to high noise levels?
A. staying highly alert B. stress reactions
C. cardiovascular diseases D. hypertension
Question 42. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The danger of noise pollution is less serious when we are asleep.
B. Adverse health problems impact children and adolescents only.
C. Many forms of pollution, except for noise pollution, are decreasing.
D. At least 100,000 cases of premature deaths from noise exposure occur each year.

The Singapore Science Centre is located on a six-hectare site in Jurong. At the centre, we can
discover the wonders of science and technology in fun way. Clap your hands and colourful bulbs
will light up. Start a wheel spinning and it will set off a fan-churning. It is a place to answer our
curiosity and capture our imagination.
The centre features over four hundred exhibits covering topics like solar radiation,
communication, electronics, mathematics, nuclear energy, and evolution. It aims to arouse interest
in science and technology among us and the general public. The centre is the first science one to be
established in Southeast Asia. It was opened in 1977 and it now receives an average of one
thousand two hundred visitors a day. The exhibits can be found in four exhibition galleries. They
are the Lobby, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences and Aviation. These exhibits are renovated
annually so as to encourage visitors to make return visits to the centre.
Instead of the usual "Hands off" notices found in exhibition halls, visitors are invited to touch
and feel the exhibits, push the buttons, turn the cranks or pedals. This is an interesting way to learn
science even if you hate the subject. A Discovery Centre was built for children between the ages of
three and twelve. This new exhibition gallery was completed in 1985. Lately this year a stone-age
exhibit was built. It shows us about the animals and people which were extinct.

We get great pleasure from reading. The more advanced a man is the greater delight he will
find in reading. The ordinary man may think that subjects like philosophy or science are very
difficult and that if philosophers and scientists read these subjects, it is not for pleasure. But this is
not true. The mathematician finds the same pleasure in his mathematics as the school boy in an
adventure story. For both, it is a play of the imagination, a mental recreation and exercise. The
pleasure derived from this activity is common to all kinds of reading. But different types of books
give us different types of pleasure. First in order of popularity is novel-reading. Novels contain
pictures of imaginary people in imaginary situations, and give us an opportunity of escaping into a
170
new world very much like our world and yet different from it. Here we seem to live a new life, and
the experience of this new life gives us a thrill of pleasure. Next in order of popularity are travel
books, biographies and memoirs. These tell us tales of places we have not seen and of great men in
whom we are interested. Some of these books are as wonderful as novels, and they have an added
value that they are true.
Such books give us knowledge, and we also find immense pleasure in knowing details of lands
we have not seen and of great men we have only heard of. Reading is one of the greatest
enjoyments of To book- lovers, nothing is more fascinating than a favourite book. And, the
ordinary educated man who is interested and absorbed in his daily occupation wants to
occasionally escape from his drudgery into the wonderland of books for recreation and
refreshment. (Adapted from http://www.importantindia.com)

Not too long ago, the dinner table was the centre of family life. Parents and children would
gather around the table, enjoy a good home-made meal and discuss the day's events. Nowadays,
(34) ______ , the family dinner table has become a thing of the past. The reason for this is the fact

both parents work and are simply too tired to organise meals and (35)______domestic matters.
Nevertheless, many experts insist that time spent at the family dining table is essential to the
well- being of the family unit. Gathering for meals gives children a (36) ______ of security and
helps them understand and appreciate family life. Experts also claim that children not only get a
nourishing meal but they also get emotional, intellectual and spiritual nourishment. So, whether it
is once a month or once a week, busy parents should (37) ______ aside a few hours of their time to
organise a family meal and spend quality time with their children. After all, the family (38)_____
eats together stays together. (Adapted from FCE Use of English by Virginia Evans)

Arriving in Freiburg by train, you might notice the solar panelled towers of the station
building. These solar panels are everywhere; on the football stadium, hotels, the conference centre,
and even a factory. With 1,800 hours of sunshine per year, solar power is the main source of
energy in Freiburg, making it one of the most ecologically friendly cities in the world. In fact,
some say that Freiburg generates nearly as much solar power as the whole of the UK.
In Freiburg it all began in the 1970s, when local people were strongly against plans for a
nuclear power station nearby. The historic centre has been car-free since 1973, with over 400 km of
cycle paths! However, it is the modern residential districts on the outskirts which most interest
environmentalists. In the area called Rieselfeld, residents live in small blocks of south-facing flats
called ‘passive houses’. The design of these houses keeps them warm or cool, without needing
central heating or air conditioning at all. The houses cost around 10% more to build, but over many
years they cut energy bills and energy loss by 90%. Vauban is another quiet area, with solar panels
everywhere and a large number of passive houses. It’s a safe, clean area. It’s busy, but with people
and bicycles instead of vehicles. Officially, only one person in four has a car and it costs around
18,000 euros a year to keep one outside town, in a 'solar- garage'.
In Freiburg, being green is part of the economy, and local people buy shares in different green
projects, for example the solar football stadium. Not surprisingly, this remarkable eco-city has won
many awards and other German cities are now competing to become more eco-friendly. So why
aren't more countries around the world doing the same?
(Adapted from Gateway by Annie Cornford and Frances Watkins)
Question 39. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Future of a Big City B. No Energy, No Life!
C. A Green City D. Initiatives to Go Green
Question 40. The word it in paragraph 1 refers to ______ .
176
A. sunshine B. Freiburg C. solar power D. energy
Question 41. According to paragraph 2, what is special about ‘passive houses’?
A. They’re built from recyclable materials.
B. They’re located in one of the wealthiest areas in Freiburg.
C. They don’t need heating or air conditioning.
D. They’re designed to keep people safe from diseases.
Question 42. The word interest in paragraph 2 mostly means ______ .
A. attract B. compete C. achieve D. consider
Question 43. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Freiburg has won many awards for its approach to go green.
B. Most people in Vauban use bicycles to travel instead of cars.
C. The production of solar in Freiburg is as much as that in the UK.
D. Great importance is attached to going green in Freiburg.
Every day we face challenges at school, work or in our personal lives, and we need to develop
the skills to deal with them. Computer skills, for example, are vital for most activities we carry out
in our daily lives as well as helping you with studying. When we are young, we are able to learn
basic social skills but there are other important skills that can be more challenging to acquire.
Surprisingly, video games can often help us to master these.
For example, there are many video games which can help us to develop problem-solving skills.
Some games help develop patience and perseverance skills by continuing to increase the level of
difficulty. They constantly place obstacles in your path until you reach the solution. As a result of
playing these games, players can develop confidence, as being able to overcome the obstacles gives
you a real sense of achievement. Patience, perseverance and overcoming difficulties are three
essential skills in everyday life. As humans we often learn through mistakes, however some
mistakes would be best avoided. Video games can expose you to making decisions in the virtual
world by allowing you to choose your characters' actions and then showing you the results of these
actions. This may help you make more informed choices in the real world.
However beneficial these games may be, there are things to remember. Too much screen time
can isolate you from the real world and if you play multi-player games online, then you need to be
sure who you are playing with. It's also vital to make sure that you are not running up a huge bill in
games that you pay for online.
Links between schools and video games developers have resulted in more games focused on
developing life skills. The not-for-profit organisation, Makerspace, has developed an education
programme based around games in conjunction with Minecraft. The programme claims that 30
minutes of video play in the classroom can improve planning skills, memory and motor skills. As
well as developing life skills, having excellent computer skills could also help you with a future
career. So, play on and learn two valuable lessons at the same time.
(Adapted from Optimise by Malcom Mann and Steve Taylore-Knowles)
Question 44. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. A New Era of Game Addiction B. Video Games and Life Skills
C. The Combination of Work and Leisure D. The Importance of Computer Literacy

A. play an important role in dealing with daily tasks
B. are easier to be mastered at a very young age
177

Question 46. The word perseverance in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______ .
A. recognition B. admittance C. consistency D. persistence
Question 47. The word They in paragraph 2 refers to ______ .
A. games B. skills C. obstacles D. players
Question 48. The word informed in paragraph 3 can be best replaced by ______ .
A. knowing B. wise C. valuable D. core

A. Making errors in a game may help players understand their consequences.
B. Overcoming obstacles in a game helps players recognise their weaknesses.
C. Spending excessive time on playing video games can lead to serious ailments.
D. Makerspace has encouraged schools to increase the hours of students playing games.

A. Playing video games in the classroom can be beneficial if there is a time limit.
