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.
Living things like plants, animals, and people need energy to survive and grow. People eat
food for energy, but most plants use energy that they get from sunlight. When you look at plants such
as a tree, flower, or grass, what do you see? You might notice their stems, trunks, branches, leaves,
roots, or flowers, but how do they grow? What are they made from? How did the plant make those
parts?
Different environments could be oceans, forests, deserts, or cities. Each environment also has
its own climate, which is partially based on how much sun and rain an area receives every year.
Since only certain plants grow in hot, cool, wet, or dry climates, each environment is made up
of different types of plant life. A desert may grow palm trees and cacti, while a forest may grow tall
pines or oak trees. In order for a plant to grow, it needs three very important puzzle pieces: water,
carbon dioxide, and light. Plants use their roots to take in water from the ground. They use their
leaves to take in sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air.
Plants use these three puzzle pieces to make their own food in a process called photosynthesis.
Using the energy from the sun, plants convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar. This sugar feeds
the plant’s growth from a seedling into an adult. In the process, the plant releases oxygen into the air.
Another important piece to the growth of many plants is soil. Using their roots, plants take in
nutrients from the soil that helps them grow. Giving a plant a spot in clean soil is important to make
sure it doesn’t absorb anything harmful from the dirt.
Plants make their food from carbon dioxide, water and light. They use this food to grow stems,
trunks, roots, branches, leaves, and flowers. Now when you look at a tree, flower, or even a blade of
grass, you can see all the pieces of the plant and how the entire puzzle fits together.

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 following questions from 36 to 42.
Cambridge University is considering axing compulsory written exams, allowing students to use
laptops or iPads instead, after tutors complained that students' handwriting is becoming illegible.
Academics say the move, which would bring an end to over 800 years of tradition, has come about because
students rely too heavily on laptops in lectures, and are losing the ability to write by hand.
Dr Sarah Pearsall, a senior lecturer at Cambridge University, said handwriting is becoming a ''lost
art'' among the current generation of students. She added, ''It's increasingly hard for our examiners to read
Page 3/5
students' scripts. Those with illegible writing are forced to come back to their college during the summer
holidays to read their answers aloud in the presence of two university administrators. It's extraordinarily
commendable that the University is considering reforms to its examination practices.''
Sir Anthony Seldon, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham, said it is inevitable that
universities will move to computers as handwriting deteriorates in the coming years. ''We have to accept
the reality. Handwriting has now become an optional, not a necessary, part of education. There simply isn't
the same time in the curriculum for learning elegant, beautiful handwriting. Life is so quick now.
Everybody writes as if they were a doctor writing a prescription,'' he said. ''Handwriting is not necessary
for great thought, great English, or great intelligence. Some of our finest wordsmiths today write using
laptops, and we have to fight to preserve what is really important, such as the use of great English or great
sentence structures.''
Others, however, were not very positive about the move. Tracey Trussell, a handwriting expert,
urged Cambridge to ensure that students continue to write by hand. She said, ''It's vital that people continue
to write by hand. Writing by hand improves memory and equates to a higher rate of comprehension and
information retention.'' There is also concern that schools could follow Cambridge's example by moving
away from handwriting. Dr Jane Medwell, Associate Professor of Education at the University of
Nottingham, is concerned that scrapping handwritten exams in universities could prompt ''downward
curriculum pressure'' on primary and secondary schools to follow suit.
