READING COMPREHENSION Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. Passage 1 UN scientific advisors have recommended the Great Barrier Reef not be placed on a list of world heritage sites “in danger” but emphasised that the planet’s biggest coral reef system remains under “serious threat” from global heating and water pollution. Unesco said in a report that the Australian government had taken positive steps to protect the reef since a UN monitoring mission visited Queensland in March last year. The UN mission report listed several steps the federal and state governments should make to protect it, including improving water quality, introducing sustainable fishing strategies and removing gillnets from the park. That report also said the government should have “clear commitments” to cut greenhouse gas emissions “consistent with the efforts required to limit the global average temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.” Since the UN mission in March, the report said the Albanese government had set an improved target to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 43% by 2030 and to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Experts have said Australia’s latest 2030 target is not consistent with a global goal of keeping global heating to 1.5°C. The federal environment minister, Tanya Plibersek, said: “Unesco’s draft decision acknowledges that, under Labor, Australia is once again serious about protecting the Reef and acting on climate change. “Our Great Barrier Reef is one of the planet’s most outstanding natural wonders. I encourage people from around the world to come and see our beautiful reef for themselves - you’re very welcome.” (Adapted from https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/0l/climate-crisis-great-barrier-reef- unesco-australia) 1.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. UN scientific advisors recommend placing the Great Barrier Reef on a list of world heritage sites “in danger.” B. According to Unesco, the Australian government has not taken any positive methods to protect the reef. C. The Australian government’s target is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 43% by 2050. 4
D. The federal environment minister believes that Australia is taking climate change seriously. Passage 2 While no one can predict all the jobs young people will be able to choose from in the second half of the 21st century, there are many deciding factors in making decisions about the skills and jobs in demand for the workforce in the future. Healthcare is one of the fastest growing sectors, with a predicted future growth of 14.2%. The Covid-19 pandemic shone a light on the importance of worker in these fields, with doctors, nurses, and other health professionals in high demand. Along with this, life expectancy is growing. The older generation is expected to more than double by 2057. This will increase the demand for skilled physical therapists, which is already growing due to our sedentary lifestyles. Also, as a result of the pandemic in which the massive rise in online learning and teaching was witnessed, demands for teachers across all age ranges are high. Teaching can be done from just about anywhere and assisted by many advancements in digital technology. Teachers in the future need new technological skills such as the capacity to manage online learning platforms, create open educational resources and use digital media. A skill that is fast becoming one of the most demanded is coding. There is no doubt that it is going to pave the way for new jobs in the future. Many people said that coding careers will be the most important tech jobs in the future. That makes software developers and computer programmers the most highly-ranked jobs overall in any survey about future careers. Recently, the increasing importance of programming has caused some European countries to add coding to the primary school curriculum. 1. Which of the following is the possible result of a longer lifespan? A. A more unhealthy lifestyle B. Physical therapists' poor skills C. 14.2% more old people D.

How will future teachers need to change to fit into the future workforce? A. They have to teach online for most of the time. B. They will have to teach students of all ages. C. They need to learn new digital skills. D. They will help technology to teach their students 4. The word it in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A. the way B. a coding job C. coding D. the future 5. Which of the following is not TRUE about coding? A. It will be one of the most demanded skills. B. It will be is less competitive than software developer. C. It has been taught in many European schools. D. There will be many coding jobs in high demand. Passage 3 It is common for all of us to take more tasks than our desired potential. This can often result in stress and tiredness. Learn the art of sharing work with your partners based on their skills and abilities. Before the start of the day, make a list of tasks that need your immediate attention as unimportant tasks can consume much of your precious time. Some tasks need to be completed on that day only while other unimportant tasks could be carried forward to next day. In short, prioritize your tasks to focus on those that are more important. Carry a planner or notebook with you and list all the tasks that come to your mind. Make a simple “To Do” list before the start of the day, prioritize the tasks, and make sure that they are attainable. To better manage your time-management skills, you may think of making 3 lists: work, home, and personal. Stress often occurs when we accept more work than our ability. The result is that our body starts feeling tired which can affect our productivity. Instead, share tasks with your partners and make sure to leave some time for relaxation. Most of the successful men and women have one thing in common. They start their day early as it gives them time to sit, think, and plan their day. When you get up early, you are more calm, creative, and clear- headed. As the day progresses, your energy levels start going down, which affects your productivity and your performance as well. 1. What is the best title of the passage? A. Improve Your Time-managing Skills B. Advantages of Time-managing Skills C. Disadvantages of Time-managing Skills D. Beware of Your Time 2. Making a list of important tasks can help us _______. A. take more tasks than our potential B. share work with our partners 5
C. prioritize important tasks D. complete all the tasks on that day 3. In order to improve your time-management skills, you should _______. A. carry a planer with you all the time B. have separate lists for different categories C. make the “To Do” list simple to do D. prioritize the tasks of time management 4. All of the following are true about the effects of stress EXCEPT that _______. A. our body starts feeling tired B. it can affect our productivity C. we don’t have enough time for relaxation D. we accept more work than our ability 5. The word “attainable” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “_______”. A. being able to attend B. possible to achieve C. impossible to achieve D. succeeding in managing something 6. The word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ______. A. men B. women C. men and women D. tasks Passage 4 MANAGING TIME Time management: two words that have me breaking out in a cold sweat. Why should I suddenly have to learn how to manage my time? Surely time had got on perfectly well for several millennia without requiring management, let alone by me. But my university tutor was adamant: time needed some managing and apparently it was up to me to do it. First of all, let's be clear. I do have plenty of time to manage. As an arts student, I generally have 23 hours in the day that aren't given over to going to lectures. But I generally need somebody to tell me what I should be writing, so I go to lectures. Perhaps I had "taken on too much"? I'd been elected to four committees, produced a play, applied for a part time job, hung around the college bar with my friends, and written the odd essay. But I thought I was coping well. Sure, there was the day when I did the research for an essay on the morning of deadline day and wrote it that afternoon, but that was a one off. On second thoughts, maybe my tutor is right. It's difficult to give up what you're involved in but perhaps it's a good idea to sit back and have a breather once in a while. Even an art student has to get down to some real work! 1. What was the writer's initial reaction to his tutor's ultimatum? A. He had to admit that it was sound advice. B. He failed to see how it could help him. C. He had no understanding of what it meant. D. He had tried it before so he knew it would fail. 2. What is the writer's job? A. He's a time manager. B. He's a lecturer. C. He's an arts student. D. He's a university tutor. 3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as something he had done? A. Producing a play. B. Getting a part time job. C. Writing an essay. D. Head of four committees. 4. The writer slowly begins to realize that he should ____. A. spend more time with his friends. B. end his obsession with leisure pursuit. C. integrate more into university life. D. apply himself to the real task in hand. 5. The word "breather" in the passage mostly means ____. A. an assignment B. a machine C. a rest D. a passion Passage 5. In recent years, Generation Z has been revolutionizing traditional cultural practices in unprecedented ways. These young innovators are not simply preserving heritage; they are putting a new spin on it through digital platforms and modern interpretations. From reimagining traditional crafts through 3D printing to creating viral social media content featuring ancient customs, Gen Z is ensuring cultural traditions don't fall by the wayside. The digital transformation of cultural heritage by Gen Z extends far beyond mere documentation. Young entrepreneurs are launching successful businesses that blend traditional elements with contemporary designs, making cultural products more appealing to modern consumers, while others are developing apps that teach ancient languages through gamification. What makes this movement particularly significant is its global reach and collaborative nature. Through social media platforms, young cultural innovators can instantly share their reinterpretations with audiences worldwide, creating cross-cultural dialogues and inspiring others to explore their own heritage in creative ways. This digital preservation of culture ensures that traditions remain relevant and accessible to future generations. Perhaps most importantly, Gen Z's approach to cultural preservation reflects a deeper understanding of sustainability and inclusivity. They recognize that for traditions to survive, they must adapt to changing social 6
values and environmental concerns. Many young innovators are finding ways to make traditional crafts more sustainable by using eco-friendly materials or reducing waste through digital tools while making cultural practices more inclusive through technology. 1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way Gen Z preserves tradition? A. Organizing traditional food festivals and cooking competitions. B. Creating viral social media content featuring ancient customs. C. Using 3D printing to reimagine traditional crafts. D. Incorporating traditional patterns into streetwear fashion. 2. The phrase “fall by the wayside” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by_________. A. take off B. come across C. break down D. die out 3. The word “reinterpretations” in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to_________. B. modifications B. reproductions C. duplications D. originals 4. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3? A. The movement creates worldwide connections through social media platforms, fostering cultural exchange and heritage exploration. B.The movement enables digital archiving of cultural practices while promoting global awareness through technological documentation. C. The movement transforms traditional practices into profitable ventures through strategic implementation of digital marketing tools. D. The movement maintains cultural authenticity by limiting modern interpretations while ensuring widespread digital distribution. 5. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A. Modern technology enables young artisans to transform ancient crafting methods into sustainable processes while expanding their reach to diverse communities globally. B. Gen Z creators combine environmental consciousness with digital innovation to preserve cultural heritage while ensuring broader accessibility to traditional practices. C. Digital platforms allow contemporary artists to modify traditional techniques using eco-conscious materials while adapting cultural customs for wider participation. D. Young innovators integrate sustainable materials and technological solutions to modernize cultural traditions while promoting inclusive community engagement. Passage 6 Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview before reading. Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often needs jumping forward or backward to process information). They also relate important points to one another. Also, they activate and use their prior knowledge. When they realize that their understanding is not good, they do not wait to change strategies. Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in comprehension. Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills. They tend to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to monitor their studying, for example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content; they may not be aware of the purpose of studying; and they show little evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up” strategies to fix understanding problems. Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware that they must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it. Children with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may be disorganized. Students with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well. They often have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments, following directions, and completing work on time. Unlike good studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-achieving students use a restricted range of study skills. They cannot explain why good study strategies are important for learning; and they tend to use the same, often ineffective study approach for all learning tasks, ignoring task content, structure or difficulty. (Adapted from Study Skills: Managing Your Learning — NUI Galway) 1. What is the topic of the passage? A. Successful and low-academic achieving students B. Successful learners and their learning strategies C. Study skills for high school students D. Effective and ineffective ways of learning 7
2. The word “prior” in the first paragraph is OPPOSITE meaning to ______? A. important B. earlier C. forward D. good 3. Which of the followings is NOT an evidence of monitoring studying? A. Being aware of the purpose of studying B. Monitoring their understanding of content C. Fixing up mistakes in understanding D. Looking at their backs 4. In comparison with low-achieving students, successful students use _______. A. aimless study techniques B. various study skills C. restricted strategies D. inflexible study ways 5. The underlined pronoun “They” in the second paragraph refers to _______. A. study strategies B. study skills C. low-achieving students D. good studiers Passage 7 Peer Pressure Among Youth Peer pressure can be particularly prevalent among teenagers, who are at a vulnerable stage of development and seeking their identity. It is a powerful force that can significantly impact the thoughts, actions, and behaviors of teenagers. During adolescence, individuals strive for acceptance and belonging, making them particularly susceptible to the influence of their peers. Understanding the nature of peer pressure and its effects is essential for supporting teenagers in navigating this challenging aspect of their social lives. One aspect of peer pressure is the pressure to conform to the norms and expectations of a social group. Teenagers may feel compelled to adopt certain behaviors, preferences, or attitudes to fit in and avoid social rejection. This conformity can range from relatively harmless choices, such as fashion trends, to more concerning behaviors, such as substance abuse or risky activities. Peer pressure can manifest in both explicit and implicit ways. Direct peer pressure involves explicit requests, invitations, or demands from peers to engage in specific actions or behaviors. Indirect or implicit peer pressure, on the other hand, is more subtle and involves observing others' behaviors and feeling pressured to conform without any explicit requests. This type of pressure can be equally influential and difficult for teenagers to navigate. It is important to note that peer pressure can have positive or negative implications. Positive peer pressure can motivate teenagers to engage in healthy behaviors, such as participating in sports, pursuing academic goals, or engaging in community service. However, it can lead to risky or harmful behaviors, such as substance abuse, delinquency, or academic underachievement. Parents, educators, and mentors play a crucial role in helping teenagers navigate peer pressure. By fostering open and supportive relationships, adults can provide a safe space for teenagers to discuss their experiences and concerns. Promoting critical thinking, assertiveness skills, and self-confidence can empower teenagers to resist negative peer pressure and make independent, healthy choices. [Adapted from "Peer Pressure: Its Influence on Teens and Decision Making”] 1. The word "conform" in paragraph 2 is opposite in meaning to_____ A. resist B. adapt C. follow D. imitate 2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a potential outcome of peer pressure? A. Participating in sports B. Using harmful substances C. Poor academic performance D.

Friends can influence each other by their actions and behaviors without direct communication. C. Indirect peer pressure is easier to recognize and avoid than direct requests from peers. D. Observing the behaviors of those around us to conform in order to avoid being different. 4. The word "it" in paragraph 4 refers to_____ A. academic performance B. negative behavior C. peer pressure D. social group 5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Peer pressure has only negative effects on teenagers. B. Positive peer pressure can lead to healthy behaviors. C. All peer pressure is easy to identify. D. Teenagers do not seek social acceptance. 8
