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 from 31 to 35.
We're all faced with difficult problems on a regular basis. In fact, sometimes you might feel like you'll be
crushed by the weight of your problems. But how many of us use special creative problem-solving techniques to
tackle these problems? "I didn't know there were special techniques," you say. Believe it or not, many experts have
given a lot of thought to the problem of problem solving.
The obvious first step to solving a problem is to churn out possible solutions, right? Well, some experts say
that the first thing you should do is define the problem in detail, even if it seems obvious. Write the problem down
on a piece of paper and start asking yourself questions about it: Why is this a problem for me? What is the source
of the problem? What will happen if I don't solve the problem? What do I really want to accomplish? Keep asking
questions until the well has run dry.
Once you've asked these questions and answered them, potential solutions may start popping up like popcorn.
Or they may not. If you're still stuck, some experts recommend going for a walk. That's right- you should literally
walk away from the problem. A change of scenery can inspire new ideas, and not focusing on the problem can
actually open your mind to new possibilities.
If you still come up empty-handed at this point, you might try an unusual technique that some experts
recommend. Open a dictionary, or any book or magazine, and pick out the first word you see. Write down
anything that word makes you think of. Then look at your problem again. Something that you've written down
may change your perspective and help you see the problem in a different light.
Question 31. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. The problem of problem solving. B. For every solution there’s a problem.
C. View problems in a different light. D. Walk and talk to fix it.
Question 32. The phrase “churn out” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______ .
A. remind B. recover C. produce D. address
Question 33. According to paragraph 2, what is said about the nature of problem-solving?
A. It’s a good idea to understand a few details of your problem.
B. Clarifying the problem is an obvious step and therefore unessential.
C. Asking other questions about the particular problem can be a helpful mechanism.
D. You should always write down your problem on a piece of paper.
Question 34. The word “they” in paragraph 4 refers to _______ .
A. problems B. solutions C. experts D. possibilities
Question 35. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage?
A. Taking a stroll can help you come up with new ways to deal with a problem.
B. Almost everyone thinks of problem-solving techniques when faced with a problem.
C. People sometimes can’t come up with solutions to a problem though they try to analyse it.
D. As suggested, people sometimes have to try novel ways to tackle a problem.
answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42
A row of mangrove trees sticking out of the sand, exposed by low tide off Kutubdia island in the Bay of
Bengal, is all that remains of a coastal village that for generations was home to 250 families. The villagers were
forced to flee as their land, which had been slowly eroding for decades, was finally engulfed by the ever-rising tide
five years ago. For the embattled people, the distant trees serve as a bittersweet reminder of what they have lost.
They also act as a warning of what is to come.
UN scientists predict some of the worst impacts of climate change will occur in south-east Asia, and that more
than 25 million people in Bangladesh will be at risk from sea level rise by 2050. It is well known that many of the
countries most vulnerable to climate change are among those who contribute to it the least, and here that’s
certainly true. The carbon footprint of Kutubdia’s 100,000 islanders is small - most do not even have access to a
regular electricity supply. But they fear that for them, time is already running out.
So far, members of the fishing community of Ali Akbar Dail, perched precariously on a strip of coast next to
the embankment, have learnt to adapt to the many natural disasters thrown at them. When the cyclones hit, they
hoist their children on to their shoulders and head for the network of cyclone shelters. These shelters, along with
the country’s early warning system, have dramatically reduced fatalities. However, after a year that they say has
brought more - and more powerful -storms than before, the fishermen are engaged in a battle for survival against
their only asset: the ocean.
Scientists say the sinking of islands in the Bay in Bengal is due to natural and possibly man-made climate
change. Erosion linked to storm surges, for instance, predate global warming. But sea surface temperatures, linked
to sea level rise, have risen in the Bay of Bengal. In a report published last month, scientists said they believed the
higher surface temperatures in the Indian Ocean were causing cyclones to increase their frequency and intensity.
There are too many challenges. People are losing their ancestral land, and they are having to migrate to other
places. There, they have to adapt to a new environment. But in their new home, they are still anxious and uncertain
about the future.
Question 36. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Climate change challenges faced in Asia.
B. The disappearing fishing villages of Bangladesh.
C. How to adapt to natural disasters?

C. The nations who are least responsible for climate change can suffer the most.
D. The worst effects of climate change will only occur in south-east Asia.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN SPORT
The first sports game was televised in the USA more than fifty years ago. Over the following decades
television provided sports coaches with a wealth of information to analyse. By viewing recordings, they could
study the number of passes received, tackles avoided, distances covered, speeds achieved and a host of (26)
_______ factors relating to the performance of their teams or athletes. Most of this data, (27) _______, consisted
of bare statistics without any meaningful context. However, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is now enabling
an alternative (28) _______ to coaching. AI means the development of computer systems that can perform tasks
usually associated with human intelligence, such as decision making.

capable of making complex (29) _______ very quickly. Research has shown that, particularly over a whole day's
worth of events, computers are just as reliable as human judges when it comes to giving gymnasts a score.

In the 1970s, many people became concerned about energy. People had to face up to the fact that they used
too much energy, and energy sources were not going to last forever. One architect, Michael Reynolds, decided to
do something. He set out to design homes that were cheaper to build and more energy efficient. In addition, he
wanted to do something about all the garbage. Finally, he came up with the idea of “earthships.”
Although it sounds like a boat, an earthship is a house. However, unlike regular houses, earthships are
constructed from garbage and are built using only ten percent of the energy needed to build a typical house.
Moreover, after they are built, earthships use only ten percent of the energy required to heat, light, and cool a
regular home. Although earthships sound unique, they can actually be built to look just like any other house.
One of the big benefits of earthships is that they are made from recycled materials. The main construction
material of an earthship is used tires that are filled with dirt. The dirt-filled tires are then laid flat and stacked like
bricks. Because the tires are round, there is lots of extra space between the columns of tires. These spaces are filled
with used cardboard. The tires and cardboard form the outside walls of an earthship. Another benefit of an
earthship is that it saves energy and natural resources. For example, an earthship uses less water. Rain water,
which is collected on the roof, is used for drinking and bathing.
All of these features make earthships very environmentally friendly. That’s one of the reasons they have
become popular throughout the world. Earthships have been built in Bolivia, Australia, Mexico, Japan, Canada,
England, Scotland, and all over the US. Maybe in the near future, an earthship will be landing near you!
A. Earthships were meant to fly. B. Naturally better homes.
C. There’s no place like home. D. Coming soon to a city near you!
Question 32. According to the passage, which is special about “earthships”?
A. They bear a resemblance to a large boat.
B. They are built from discarded materials.
C. They are all made using cardboard.
D. They consume an equal amount of energy compared to a conventional house.
Question 33. The word ‘they’ in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. houses B. people C. earthships D. resources
Question 34. The word ‘stacked” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. arranged B. dispersed C. reshaped D. removed
A. People will finally find a renewable source of energy.
B. Michael Reynolds used all of the garbage in his home to construct ‘earthships’.
C. Rain water from the roof of an earthship can be only suitable for domestic activities.
D. Many countries have started to embrace earthships given their advantages.
Until relatively recently, newspapers were our primary source of daily news. They must now compete,
however, with online news, social media and television in a progressively digital age. The internet is changing the
way people get their news, leaving a dwindling audience willing to pay for their daily paper. But given that the
form first emerged in early-17th century Europe, it’s probably about time the medium got overhauled.
Newspapers have witnessed an extraordinary era of change: from the evolution of democratic institutions and
political parties to the reshaping of whole countries and continents.
By the end of the 19th century, newspapers were using a visual template not unlike those of today, and had
become the source of not only large profits but also unaccountable political and social influence for their owners
– a trend that has continued to the present day. Newspapers prospered in this form for more than 150 years, and in
many countries, daily life would have been inconceivable without access to one. But in many places, the
continuing existence of newspapers is under threat.
Circulation figures for all types of newspapers, local, regional and national, bear out the fact that, in many
Western nations at least, sales of printed newspapers had been falling for many years prior to the emergence of the
internet. What is also beyond question, though, is that the arrival and exponential growth of the World Wide Web,
leading to near-universal coverage, has accelerated this process greatly. Observing the rapidity and extent of this
process around the world provides a fascinating insight into social change.
We now live in an age where speed and convenience have gained precedence over reliability and quality in
most aspects of our existence. Regarding the former, newspapers only allow readers to get updated about events
some considerable time after they have actually happened, while online users can access them more or less at the
moment at which they occur. Printed newspapers, therefore, provide a less efficient source of news and,
furthermore, do so in a less environmentally-friendly way than the internet, and at a direct cost to the consumer.
Moreover, with news also available on tap through social media, consumers are continually bombarded from all
sides, and therefore may not wish to have each story explained in great detail, as is the case in much of the printed
media. Social media sites have also proven to be one of the most effective means of getting information out
rapidly, and on a huge scale: news can now be tweeted before the mainstream media have even started their
coverage.
A. Paper talks – The history of the newspaper.
B. The rise and fall of the newspaper.
C. Why the world went social.
D. Why people opt for online news?

A. rebuilt B. overwhelmed C. neglected D. overtaken
Question 38. According to paragraph 2, what is stated surrounding newspapers?
A. The design of newspapers in the 19th century was remarkably contrasting from that of today.
B. The owners of the newspaper have little interest in politics and social affairs.
C. It would have been difficult to imagine life without a newspaper in many countries.
D. Newspapers look poised to continue the prosperous trend in the next 150 years.
Question 39. The word ‘unaccountable’ in paragraph 2 mostly means _______.
A. fascinating to record B. difficult to explain
C. fairly understandable D. exclusively negative
A. newspapers B. events C. readers D. online users
A. Newspaper circulation figures were decreasing in Asia before the Internet was launched.
B. The impact the World Wide Web has had on the declination of newspapers remains minimal.

D. People have decided to cancel their subscription to daily newspapers.

THE RETURN OF EXTREME POVERTY
Two decades of progress in the reduction of extreme poverty, the elimination of (26) _______ is one of the
sustainable development goals, have been pushed into a sharp (27) ______ by a combination of the impact of the
Covid-19 pandemic, the growing climate emergency and increasing debt. With the World Bank warning of a
“truly unprecedented increase” in levels of poverty this year, and renewing calls for debt forgiveness, experts are
warning of a growing crisis in multiple areas from education to employment, likely to be felt for years to come.
While the World Bank was already pessimistic, in January it updated its forecast for the expected number of
newly (28) _______ people this year from between 88 and 115 million to the new range of between 119 and 124
million. Global poverty has seen a spectacular decline since the 1960s – when about 80% of the world’s
population lived in extreme poverty. Today that number has been reduced to nearer 10%, with hundreds of
millions of people removed from the extremes of hardship. (29) _______ the numbers are forecast to rise in the
coming year. Experts have noted a worrying rise in (30) _______ of people living on less than $3.20 between June
last year and January 2021.

Travel at the North and South Poles has become an expensive leisure activity, suitable for tourists of all ages.
The poles may be inhospitable places, but they are seeing increasing numbers of visitors. Annual figures for the
Arctic, where tourism has existed since the 19th century, have increased from about a million in the early 1990s to
more than 1.5 million today. This is partly because of the lengthening summer season brought about by climate
change.
The global economic downturn may have affected the annual 20.6 percent rate of increase in visitors to the
Antarctic - last season saw a drop of 17 percent to 38,200 - but there has been a 760 percent rise in land-based
tourism there since 1997. More people than ever are landing at fragile sites, with light aircraft, helicopters and all-
terrain vehicles increasingly used for greater access.
Although polar tourism is widely accepted, there have been few regulations up until recently. At the meeting
of the Antarctic Treaty in Baltimore, the 28 member nations adopted proposals for limits to tourist numbers. These
included safety codes for tourist vessels in Antarctic waters, and improved environmental protection for the
continent. They agreed to prevent ships with more than 500 passengers from landing in Antarctica, as well as limit
the number of passengers going ashore to a maximum of 100 at any one time, with a minimum of one guide for
every 20 tourists.
These days, rarely a week passes without a negative headline in the newspapers. The suffering polar bear has
become a symbol of a warming world, its plight a warning that the clock is ticking. It would seem that this ticking
clock is a small but growing factor for some tourists. ‘There’s an element of “do it now”,’ acknowledges Prisca
Campbell, Marketing director of Quark Expeditions, which takes 7,000 people to the poles annually. Leaving the
trip until later, it seems, may mean leaving it too late.
A. Poles apart – How the world is different today.
B. Tourism is changing as we know it.
C. Here today, gone tomorrow.
D. Do it now - before it’s too late.

D. The polar bears which are still alive today face an enormous amount of suffering at the hands of tourists.
Forget global terrorism - for most of the world's population, ticking time bombs like earthquakes,
supervolcanoes and hurricanes pose a far greater threat. Natural disaster expert Bill McGuire reveals a few of the
top catastrophes waiting to happen.
With NASA's eminent climate scientist, Jim Hansen, concerned that collapsing polar ice sheets could result in
sea levels rising 1-2m this century and several more in the next, prospects for the Earth's coastal zones are bleak. A
1m rise would threaten one third of the world's agricultural land, while a 4m rise would maroon Miami 60km
offshore. Rising sea levels is not the only threat to coastal regions. The Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Canary
Island of La Palma is slowly creeping seawards. During a future eruption, this gigantic landslide will plunge into
the ocean, pushing up a bulge of water close to a kilometre high, spawning a mega-tsunami capable of devastating
all the coastal areas surrounding the North Atlantic.
Coastal regions also face the menace of desertification. By 2030, over half a billion people living around the
shores of the Mediterranean will be viewing the encroaching desert with increasing panic. An area bigger than the
UK, and home to 16 million people, is threatened - by the end of the century- with transformation from a green
and pleasant land to a baking wilderness of sand and rock.
However, these disasters seem pale in comparison to the mega-catastrophes waiting to happen like
supervolcanoes, for instance. Every 50 millennia or so, a colossal volcanic blast expels sufficient ash and gas to
cover a continent and block the Sun's rays for years on end, heralding a bitter volcanic winter. At Yellowstone in
Wyoming, US, two such super-eruptions have shattered the crust in the last 2.1 million years and the volcano
there remains restless. An asteroid attack is another threat which would have devastating consequences. A total of
713 asteroids with diameters of 1km or more, and the potential to clobber the Earth at some future date, have been
identified. A 2km asteroid would load the atmosphere with dust and trigger a sustained global freeze. Harvests
would fail and billions would die. Fortunately, such collisions only happen every couple of million years.
A. Disasters in waiting. B. A one in a million chance.
C. The end is nigh. D. Suffering from supervolcanoes.
Question 37. According to Jim Hansen, what is an outcome of polar ice caps melting?
A. The majority of the world’s farming resources will be severely affected.
B. Many major coastal cities in the US will be wiped out.

THE FUTURE OF WORK
According to a leading business consultancy, 3–14% of the global workforce will need to switch to a different
occupation within the next 10-15 years, and all workers will need to adapt as their occupations (26) _______
alongside increasingly capable machines. Dr Stella Pachidi from Cambridge Judge Business School believes that
some of the most fundamental changes are happening as a result of the 'algorithmication' of jobs (27) _______ are
dependent on data rather than on production - the so-called knowledge economy. Algorithms are capable of
learning from data to (28) _______ tasks that previously needed human judgement, such as reading legal contracts,
analysing medical scans and gathering market intelligence. 'In (29) _______ cases, they can outperform humans,'
says Pachidi.
'(30) _______ these enhancements are not without consequences,' says Pachidi. 'If routine cognitive tasks are
taken over by AI, how do professions develop their future experts?' she asks. 'One way of learning about a job is

Maria Alcalá of Madrid speaks for many Mediterranean people when she says that “a meal without olive oil
would be a bore.” No one knows when the Mediterranean civilizations initially fell in love with olives. That
occurred before recorded history. However, there is evidence that the cultivation of olive trees began in countries
around the Mediterranean Sea in approximately 4000 B.C., and 2,000 years after that people in the eastern
Mediterranean region began to produce oil from olives. The Mediterranean still accounts for 99 percent of all
world olive oil production.
From ancient times until today, the basic process of producing the oil is the same. First, whole olives are
crushed. Then, the liquid is separated from the solids. After that, the valuable oil is separated from the water.
Many olive growers maintain their ancient traditions and still harvest the olives by hand. “We harvest in the
traditional way,” says Don Celso, an olive farmer from Tuscany, Italy. "It would be less expensive to do it with
machines, but it's more a social thing. Twenty people come to help with the harvest, and we pay them in oil."
Olive oil has had a variety of uses through its long history. In ancient times, olive oil was used as money and
as medicine. It was even used during war-heated up and dropped down on attackers. It is still used in religious
ceremonies. It is great for protecting the freshness of fish and cheese. There are even olive oil lamps and olive oil
soaps. Olive oil enhances the lives of people everywhere. Its benefits, recently confirmed by science, were already
understood in ancient times. Mediterranean people are happy to share their secret with the world.
A. An oil for all.
B. Olive oil: A cure for every disease.
C. How to produce oil from indigenous trees?
D. The best kept secret.
Question 32. The word ‘civilisations’ in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. empires B. societies C. subcultures D. species
Question 33. According to the passage, which of the following has olive oil NOT been used for?
A. currency B. cosmetics C. weapons D. pharmaceuticals
Question 34. The word ‘it’ in paragraph 2 refers to _______.

A. There is strong evidence suggesting that the first olive trees were planted exactly 4,000 years BC.
B. The Mediterranean accounts for all of the worlds’ olive oil consumption even to this day.
C. The exact time that olives became popular among Mediterranean cultures remains unclear.
D. The way the oil is produced today is quite different from that in the past.
I grew up with precious little choice about anything. You ate what you were given, went to school where you
were told, wore your sister's hand-me-downs. And twice a year - birthday, Christmas - you got a present. We
weren't poor at all but that was entirely normal and I don't remember feeling remotely deprived. Today, as we can
see all around us, children seem to have everything - designer clothes, computer games, fussy eating habits and the
attention span of itchy gnats. A report yesterday from the Children's Society found that one in ten kids now has
mental illness diagnosed and it concluded that materialistic consumer pressure may be partly to blame, with
children from poor backgrounds the main victims.
Where is it coming from, this consumer pressure? First, from television, and the false dreams on offer there.
Children from poor backgrounds, as well as having less money to buy the latest clothes or electronic games, are
more likely to have parents without time to spend with them, and homes without access to outside space, so are far
more likely to end up spending hours in front of the telly soaking up adverts alongside the easy gratification
offered by cartoon; fantasy or drama. You cannot just blame the parents for this; many will be working hard, with
no choice, just to put food on the table; after all, how many can afford a house with a garden in a city or suburb
these days?
Of course parents can correct bouts of consumerism in their children by teaching them what is and is not
affordable, but why subject them to the clever traps of marketing people in the first place? Pressure is bad enough
as it is, from schoolfriends and celebrity excess, without allowing some of the cleverest adult minds in the sharpest
advertising agencies in the world to manipulate them as well.
But why is it in a child's interests to be treated like a consumer? It has yet to be proven that giving even adults
a wide range of choices improves their lives. In many instances, from too many yoghurts in the supermarket all the
way up to a supposed choice of doctor or school, it is just confusing and stressful. I think the fewer, carefully
selected, choices we can give young children, the more we help them. Watch the exhausted face of a six-year-old
confronted by all this year's Christmas presents, without the time to play with any of them for more than a few
minutes, and see what I mean.
We are spoilt, and we are spoiling our children. They need to be taught to look down as well as up; to choose
to feel fortunate, and not envious -and to recognise that gratification isn't as easy as buying a new toy or switching
on a dream. And, as my mother would have been delighted to hear, it will not cost a thing.
