Question 14:
1. Maria: Oh, all the time! Can you imagine how amazing it would be to witness major historical events firsthand?
I’d love to see ancient Egypt being built or meet someone like Leonardo da Vinci.
2. Maria: That’s the "butterfly effect," right? The idea that even a tiny change could completely alter the future.
Imagine going back to the 1960s and telling people about the internet. It could change everything!
3. Liam: Yeah, that would be incredible. But I always wonder, if we did travel back in time, wouldn't it risk
changing the course of history? Like, if we accidentally influenced something, it could have huge
consequences!
4. Liam: Hey, Maria! Have you ever wondered what would happen if we could actually travel through time? Like,
if we could visit the past or the future?
5. Liam: Exactly! Or what if we prevented major wars from happening? The future would be completely different.
But there's also a huge ethical dilemma, don't you think? If we could change history, should we? Would it be
right?

Question 15:
Dear Jack,
1. I’d love to be part of the first crew to land on Mars, though I wonder if I could handle the isolation and distance
from Earth.
2. I hope you’re doing well! I’ve been reading a lot about space exploration lately, and I can’t stop thinking about
the idea of humans living on Mars.
3. But still, it’s so exciting! If we could make Mars livable, it would open up a whole new chapter in human
history.
4. Could you imagine what it would be like to actually colonize another planet? The challenges are huge—how
would we handle the lack of atmosphere, gravity, and food?
5. What do you think? Would you ever consider going to Mars?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Best,
LK

Read the following passage about The Devastating Effects of Global Warming and mark the letter A, B, C or
D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Global warming refers to the long-term rise in Earth’s average temperature, largely driven by human activities
such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. The accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere traps
heat, causing the planet to warm at an accelerated rate. This change in climate has numerous harmful effects on
both the environment and human societies.
One of the most significant consequences of global warming is the rising sea levels. As glaciers and polar ice
caps melt, the additional water flows into the oceans, causing sea levels to rise. Coastal cities and islands are at high
risk of flooding, which could displace millions of people. In addition to rising sea levels, global warming has
intensified extreme weather events, such as more powerful hurricanes, prolonged droughts, and destructive
wildfires, all of which result in widespread damage to infrastructure and loss of life.
 Another major impact is the loss of biodiversity. Many plant and animal species are unable to adapt to the
rapidly changing climate, leading to habitat destruction and extinction. Coral reefs, which are vital to marine
ecosystems, are dying due to warmer oceans. This loss threatens food security as many species are essential to
agriculture and fisheries.
While the situation is dire, action can still be taken. Reducing carbon emissions, switching to renewable
energy, and preserving forests are key steps in mitigating global warming. Immediate action is critical to
prevent further damage and ensure a sustainable future for the planet.
Question 23: Which of the following actions is specifically mentioned in the passage as a way to mitigate global
warming?
1. Reducing carbon emissions
2. Promoting space exploration
3. Increasing agricultural production
4. Expanding urban areas
Question 24: The word “accelerated” in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _________.
1. Increased B. Hastened C. Intensified
D. Slowed
Question 25: The word “prolonged” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by _________.
1. Shortened B. Extended C. Frequent
D. Severe
Question 26: The word “This” in paragraph 3 refers to _________.
1. The warming of oceans
2. Habitat destruction and extinction
3. The loss of biodiversity
4. The dying of coral reefs
Question 27: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
1. Carbon emissions should be increased, renewable energy should be avoided, and forests should be
cut down to address global warming.
2. Decreasing carbon emissions, using renewable energy sources, and protecting forests are essential
actions to reduce global warming.
3. Global warming can be prevented by expanding fossil fuel use, stopping renewable energy
projects, and destroying forests.
4. The key to fighting global warming is to ignore renewable energy, increase deforestation, and
continue burning fossil fuels.

Read the following passage about the How Future Cities Will Address Climate Change and Sustainability
and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following
questions from 31 to 40.
[I]As global urbanization continues, cities are becoming both significant contributors to climate change and
potential leaders in turning the tide on environmental challenges. [II], cities are responsible for a large portion of
global greenhouse gas emissions. However, they also present a golden opportunity to implement innovative,
sustainable solutions[III]. The idea of urban utopias refers to future cities that are designed with environmental
sustainability, energy efficiency, and social inclusion at their core.[IV]
A key feature of future cities will be the widespread use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and
geothermal power. By shifting away from fossil fuels, cities can significantly reduce their carbon footprint. Urban
transportation will also transform, with electric buses, bicycles, and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure replacing
traditional cars. These changes will reduce air pollution, decrease traffic congestion, and promote a more active,
sustainable lifestyle for residents. Green spaces, such as vertical gardens, rooftop farms, and urban parks, will be
incorporated into city designs to improve air quality, enhance biodiversity, and provide recreational spaces.
In addition to technological advancements, urban utopias will require a cultural shift towards more sustainable
lifestyles. Citizens will need to adopt eco-friendly habits, such as reducing waste, conserving water, and using public
transportation. Urban farming initiatives and efficient waste management systems will help reduce the
environmental impact of cities by promoting local food production and minimizing landfill waste.
While the vision of urban utopias may seem distant, many cities are already taking steps to implement these
ideas. Through technological innovation, public policy, and collective action, future cities have the potential to be at
the forefront of the global fight against climate change.

Question 33: The word “their” in paragraph 2 refers to _________.
1. Fossil fuels B. Renewable energy sources C. Urban
residents D. Cities
Question 34: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature of future cities?
1. Widespread use of renewable energy sources
2. Transformation of urban transportation with electric buses and bicycles
3. The construction of more fossil fuel-powered industries

 1. Urban utopias will solely rely on technological advancements to achieve sustainability.
2. Cities have already achieved full sustainability and no longer contribute to climate change.
3. The shift towards renewable energy and sustainable practices will be gradual and requires
widespread cultural change.
4. The environmental impact of cities will remain unchanged unless new technologies are
introduced.
Question 40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?
