Read the passage and choose the best answer.
In the digital age, the role of newspapers has evolved significantly. Traditionally, newspapers were the primary
source of information, providing news, opinion pieces, and advertisements to a wide audience. However, with
the rise of the internet and social media, the newspaper industry has had to adapt to new technologies and
changing consumer habits. Many people now turn to online platforms for instant access to news, which has led
to a decline in print subscriptions.
Despite the challenges posed by digital media, newspapers continue to play a crucial role in society. They
provide in-depth analysis, investigative journalism, and local coverage that is often not available through digital-
only platforms. Print newspapers still hold significant credibility among many readers, especially older
generations who value the physical format. They are also important in reaching audiences in areas with limited
internet access, ensuring that all communities stay informed.
Moreover, newspapers have adapted by embracing digital platforms to reach a broader audience. Many major
newspapers now have online versions, offering news articles, multimedia content, and interactive features. This
shift has allowed newspapers to maintain their relevance and remain competitive in the digital landscape.
The move to digital has also led to the rise of subscription-based models, where readers pay for premium content,
creating new revenue streams for traditional media outlets.
However, the digital transformation has not been without its challenges. Newspapers face increasing
competition from social media platforms, blogs, and online news outlets, which often provide quicker updates
and attract younger audiences. Additionally, the rise of fake news and misinformation on digital platforms has
made it more difficult for traditional newspapers to maintain their position as trusted sources of information.
Despite these challenges, newspapers continue to play a vital role in providing accurate and reliable news in
an ever-changing media landscape.
33. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a traditional role of newspapers?
A. Providing news B. Providing opinion pieces
C. Providing advertisements D. Providing real-time news updates

Town and country life
Today people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities.
They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy
world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas is growing every
day.
In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large
factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow.
There is usually a residential area nearby where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need
schools, hospitals and shops, so more people come to live in the area to provide these services.
In almost every city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their offices. In the
United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. People often travel a long way to work each day.
