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 26 to 30.

Many of the major supermarket chains have come under fire with accusations of variousunethical acts over the past decade They've wasted tons of food, they've underpaid theirsuppliers and they've contributed to excessive plastic waste in their packaging, which has hadits impact on our environment

But supermarkets and grocers are starting to sit up and take notice In response to growing

consumer backlash against the huge amounts of plastic waste generated by plastic packaging,

some of the largest UK supermarkets have signed up to a pact promising to transformpackaging and cut plastic wastage In a pledge to reuse, recycle or compost all plastic wastage

by 2025, supermarkets are now beginning to take some responsibility for the part they play incontributing to the damage to our environment with one major supermarket announcing theirplan to eliminate all plastic packaging in their own-brand products by 2023

In response to criticisms over food waste, some supermarkets are donating some of their foodsurplus However, charities estimate that they are only accessing two per cent ofsupermarkets' total food surplus, so this hardly seems to be solving the problem Some saythat supermarkets are simply not doing enough Most supermarkets operate under a veil ofsecrecy when asked for exact figures of food wastage, and without more transparency it ishard to come up with a systematic approach to avoiding waste and to redistributing surplusfood

Some smaller companies are now taking matters into their own hands and offering consumers

a greener, more environmentally friendly option Shops like Berlin's Original Unverpakt and

Trang 4

London's Bulk Market are plastic- tree shops that have opened in recent years, encouragingcustomers to use their own containers or compostable bags Online grocer Farmdropeliminates the need for large warehouses and the risk of huge food surplus by delivering freshproduce from local farmers to its customers on a daily basis via electric cars, offering farmers

the lion's share of the retail price.

There is no doubt that we still have a long way to go in reducing food waste and plastic waste.But perhaps the major supermarkets might take inspiration from these smaller grocers andgradually move towards a more sustainable future for us all

SPOILT FOR CHOICE

Choice, we are given to believe, is a right In daily life, people have come to expect endless

situations about which they are required to make decisions one way or another In the (31)

_ , these are just irksome moments at work which demand some extra energy or

brainpower, or during lunch breaks like choosing which type of coffee to order or indeed (32) _ coffee shop to go to But sometimes selecting one option as (33) _ another

can have serious or lifelong repercussions More complex decision-making is then eitheravoided, postponed, or put into the hands of the army of professionals, lifestyle coaches,

lawyers, advisors, and the like, waiting to (34) _ the emotional burden for a fee (35)

_ for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury,not a right And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the wholesystem is merely an illusion, created by companies and advertisers wanting to sell their wares

Geothermal energy offers enormous potential for direct, low-temperature applications Unlikeindirect applications, this new technology relies on the Earth's natural thermal energy to heat

or cool a house or multifamily dwelling directly without the need to convert steam or otherhigh-temperature fluids into electricity, using expensive equipment

A geothermal system consists of a heat pump and exchanger plus a series of pipes, called a

loop, installed below the surface of the ground or submerged in a pond or lake Fluid

circulating in the loop is warmed and carries heat to the home The heat pump and exchangeruse an electrically powered vapor-compression cycle - the same principle employed in a

refrigerator - to concentrate the energy and to transfer it The concentrated geothermal energy

is released inside the home at a higher temperature, and fans then distribute the heat to variousrooms through a system of air ducts In summer, the process is reversed: excess heat is drawnfrom the home, expelled to the loop, and absorbed by the Earth

Geothermal systems are more effective than conventional heat pumps that use the outdoor air

as their heat source (on cold days) or heat sink (on warm days) because geothermal systemsdraw heat from a source whose temperature is more constant than that of air The temperature

of the ground or groundwater a few feet beneath the Earth's surface remains relatively stable –between 45°F and 70°F In winter, it is much easier to capture heat from the soil at a moderate50°F than from the atmosphere when the air temperature is below zero Conversely insummer, the relatively cool ground absorbs a home's waste heat more readily than the warmoutdoor air

The use of geothermal energy through heat-pump technology has almost no adverse

environmental consequences and offers several advantages over conventional energy sources.Direct geothermal applications are usually no more disruptive of the surrounding environmentthan a normal water well Additionally, while such systems require electricity to concentrateand distribute the energy collected, they actually reduce total energy consumption by one-fourth to two-thirds, depending on the technology used For each 1,000 hones withgeothermal heat pumps, an electric utility can avoid the installation of 2 to 5 megawatts ofgenerating capacity Unfortunately, only a modest part of the potential of this use forgeothermal energy has been developed because the service industry is small and the price ofcompeting energy sources is low

As all football fans know, the sports media has to work harder between matches to fill their

pages and sites The most popular method of doing this is by speculating about the players

that clubs might buy or sell, especially talented foreigners However, many readers oftensuspect that these stories are the products of lazy journalism and, if not completely false,contain very little truth and a lot of exaggeration One Irish football fan decided to find out byusing social media to invent Masal Bugduv, a sixteen-year old football superstar from thesmall Eastern European country of Moldova The fan set up a Wikipedia page for the playerthat explained that Bugduv had already played for his national team and that his nicknamewas 'Massi' He then wrote false press agency stories that claimed Bugduv would soon joinArsenal and sent them to sports blogs The blogs accepted the stories as true, but the bigsurprise came when The Times newspaper included an article entitled Football's Top 50Rising Stars At number thirty on the list was 'Moldova's finest', sixteen-year-old MasalBugduv, who had been linked with Arsenal and 'plenty of other top clubs as well.'

Can you imagine your life without advertisements? They are present in all sectors of our lives,

in our homes on TV, on public means of transport, in the streets, in newspapers, you name it

It is only natural that all this advertising with its intrusive nature would have an impact on ourlives, and many people would agree that this impact is on the whole a negative one

Adverts are very creative and attract our attention; they are also highly persuasive andinfluence the way we think Their aim is to make us believe we will feel a certain way if wepurchase the product which is being advertised For example, many adverts for products showgood-looking, successful people enjoying themselves and consuming or using a specific

Trang 13

product This plays on our psychology and our sense of self-worth, and it makes us want tobuy the product so that we can look and feel like the models in the adverts.

Images and lifestyles aren't the only thing that advertising imposes on us Artificial needs arealso imposed on us We are constantly exposed to visual and verbal adverts which try toconvince us that our lives will be improved if we buy a particular product Don't tell me theplasma TV or the air freshener advertised on TV is a necessity However, clever advertisingcreates in people a sense of need for material goods, which if they don't acquire, can often

lead to feelings of inferiority and unhappiness.

Advertising also gives a distorted picture of reality, which creates unrealistic expectations,particularly among young children and teenagers Many adverts are targeted specifically atthese age groups, creating an intense desire to own a particular product The resulting pressure

on parents is so great that they often give in to the demands of their children in order to avoid

confrontation and tantrums, thus creating patterns of consumption and gratification at theexpense of other values in life This vicious cycle can have a very detrimental effect onchildren and, consequently, the future of society

Advertising today, with its ubiquity and aggressive nature, poisons our minds with false idealsand instils in people a sense of dissatisfaction It turns people into materialistic consumers;

this is a far cry from the self-assured, informed individuals who know the real value of

money and are able to develop the sensible shopping habits that any healthy society needs

Question 36 Which best serves as the title for the passage?

A The vicious cycle in full swing B The power of advertising.

C Are we really a healthy society? D The psychology behind what we look at.

Question 37 According to paragraph 2, what is the purpose of advertising?

A It creates an intense desire to own a particular product.

B It tries to promote products endorsed by top celebrities.

C It creates a misleading impression on products.

D It encourages ordinary people to promote products like their idols.

Question 38 The word ‘inferiority’ in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.

A competenceB prestige C deficiency D disagreement

A adverts B parents C children D values

Question 40 The phrase ‘a far cry’ in paragraph 5 mostly means _.

A absent B free C protected D different

A Most savvy brands use attractive looking celebrities in commercials to endorse their

products

Trang 14

B What we see and what we hear on adverts can influence purchase behaviour.

C Only children fall victim to increased rates of advertising in modern society.

D Some adverts try to give an honest view of reality for a certain age group.

THE FUTURE OF WORK

According to a leading business consultancy, 3–14% of the global workforce will need toswitch to a different occupation within the next 10-15 years, and all workers will need toadapt as their occupations (26) _ alongside increasingly capable machines Dr StellaPachidi from Cambridge Judge Business School believes that some of the most fundamentalchanges 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 asreading 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 routinecognitive tasks are taken over by AI, how do professions develop their future experts?' sheasks 'One way of learning about a job is “legitimate peripheral participation” - a novicestands next to experts and learns by observation If this isn't happening, then you need to findnew ways to learn.'

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

Trang 19

evidence that the cultivation of olive trees began in countries around the Mediterranean Sea inapproximately 4000 B.C., and 2,000 years after that people in the eastern Mediterraneanregion began to produce oil from olives The Mediterranean still accounts for 99 percent of allworld olive oil production.

From ancient times until today, the basic process of producing the oil is the same First, wholeolives are crushed Then, the liquid is separated from the solids After that, the valuable oil isseparated from the water Many olive growers maintain their ancient traditions and stillharvest 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 onattackers It is still used in religious ceremonies It is great for protecting the freshness of fishand cheese There are even olive oil lamps and olive oil soaps Olive oil enhances the lives ofpeople everywhere Its benefits, recently confirmed by science, were already understood inancient times Mediterranean people are happy to share their secret with the world

I grew up with precious little choice about anything You ate what you were given, went toschool 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 nowhas mental illness diagnosed and it concluded that materialistic consumer pressure may bepartly 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 latestclothes 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, withoutallowing some of the cleverest adult minds in the sharpest advertising agencies in the world tomanipulate them as well

But why is it in a child's interests to be treated like a consumer? It has yet to be proven thatgiving even adults a wide range of choices improves their lives In many instances, from toomany 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 youngchildren, the more we help them Watch the exhausted face of a six-year-old confronted by allthis year's Christmas presents, without the time to play with any of them for more than a fewminutes, 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 aseasy as buying a new toy or switching on a dream And, as my mother would have beendelighted to hear, it will not cost a thing

B They are less likely to buy clothes and electronic games.

C They will become addicted to cartoons and fantasy stories.

D They will see a lot of television commercials.

Question 39 The word ‘gratification’ in paragraph 2 mostly means _.

A satisfaction B boredom C interest D assumption

Question 40 The word ‘them’ in paragraph 3 refers to _.

A adverts B parents C children D bouts

A The materialistic culture we live in is wholly responsible for the rise in mental illness

among children

B Children from impoverished backgrounds are less likely to feel the negative effects of

consumerism

C Television contributes more to creating consumer pressure than other media outlets.

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 19thcentury, have increased from about a million in the early 1990s to more than 1.5 milliontoday This is partly because of the lengthening summer season brought about by climatechange

The global economic downturn may have affected the annual 20.6 percent rate of increase invisitors 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 atfragile sites, with light aircraft, helicopters and all-terrain vehicles increasingly used forgreater 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 proposalsfor 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 oneguide for every 20 tourists

These days, rarely a week passes without a negative headline in the newspapers The sufferingpolar bear has become a symbol of a warming world, its plight a warning that the clock isticking 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 ofQuark Expeditions, which takes 7,000 people to the poles annually Leaving the trip untillater, it seems, may mean leaving it too late

With NASA's eminent climate scientist, Jim Hansen, concerned that collapsing polar icesheets 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 CanaryIsland of La Palma is slowly creeping seawards During a future eruption, this giganticlandslide 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 NorthAtlantic

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 withincreasing 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 bakingwilderness of sand and rock

However, these disasters seem pale in comparison to the mega-catastrophes waiting to happenlike supervolcanoes, for instance Every 50 millennia or so, a colossal volcanic blast expelssufficient 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 713asteroids with diameters of 1km or more, and the potential to clobber the Earth at some future

We're all faced with difficult problems on a regular basis In fact, sometimes you might feellike you'll be crushed by the weight of your problems But how many of us use specialcreative problem-solving techniques to tackle these problems? "I didn't know there werespecial techniques," you say Believe it or not, many experts have given a lot of thought to theproblem 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 itseems obvious Write the problem down on a piece of paper and start asking yourselfquestions about it: Why is this a problem for me? What is the source of the problem? Whatwill happen if I don't solve the problem? What do I really want to accomplish? Keep askingquestions 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 caninspire new ideas, and not focusing on the problem can actually open your mind to newpossibilities

Trang 34

If you still come up empty-handed at this point, you might try an unusual technique that someexperts recommend Open a dictionary, or any book or magazine, and pick out the first wordyou see Write down anything that word makes you think of Then look at your problemagain Something that you've written down may change your perspective and help you see theproblem in a different light.
