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.
(Adapted from Select Readings by Linda Lee and Jean Bernard)
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.
(Adapted from On Screen by Jenny Dooley and Virgina Evans)

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.
(Adapted from Reading Explorer 2 by Paul Maclntyre)

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 36 to 42.
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.

8
 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.
(Adapted from Traveller by H.Q. Mitchell)

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.
To some extent we know that the people we work, live or spend time with are not always being honest
with us. They can't always be having a good day, be excited about your success or be completely happy for a
colleague who's been promoted instead of them. But what about when deception isn't just about mood, but is
actually an important part when interacting with other people?
Generally speaking, deception is, understandably, viewed negatively - if someone has to resort to lying,
they're probably not very good at their job or not a very nice person. In the workplace, deceit can toxic in an
environment that values trust and teamwork and can damage productivity as a result. However, deception is
absolutely necessary in many cases.
In some profession, people are expected to lie (take private investigators, for example). Deception can
also be strategic in companies, such as when a call centre instructs employees to pretend that they've located
in a different country due to customer biases. And keep in mind that even police officers have to make use of
deception to arrest criminals in many cases. Additionally, customer service roles, and especially the kinds of
emotional labour frequently carried out by women, also typically call for workers to conceal their true
feelings. Do you really want flight attendants to tell you that you should be unnerved and should not remain

11
calm when the plane is shaking, or psychiatrists to tell you that they do not have any sympathy for you at all
when listening to your mental problems?
Sometimes, lying is even seen as the more ethical option. A prime example of this is when doctors lie to
their patients about their health conditions, obviously not to raise false hopes but simply to cheer them up
during treatment. A harmless lie can also spare people from unnecessary hurt, and people who tell it should
be praised for their kindness and the good outcome that usually comes from not making a potentially hurtful
comment. The most fundamental thing in pro-social lying, or the kind of dishonesty intended to help another
person is that it is not about gaining an unfair advantage or otherwise being self-serving, but about
delivering little and harmless lies out of care or compassion.
Therefore, it's important to asks ourselves when it is and isn't appropriate to deliver the hard, honest
truth, when it's best to step back and offer a more delicate response. More often than not, it’s about striking a
balance between the two.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
As wildfire season raged in California this fall, a startup a few states away used artificial intelligence to
pinpoint the location of blazes there within minutes — in some cases far faster than these fires might
otherwise be noticed by firefighters or civilians.
The company, which uses AI to analyze satellite imagery, launched its US wildfire detector in July. The
company's AI software pores over images coming in roughly every few minutes from two different US
government weather satellites, in search of any changes — the presence of smoke, a shift in thermal infrared
data showing hot spots — that could indicate a fire has ignited.
Descartes is testing its detector by sending alerts to select forestry officials in its home state of New
Mexico and told CNN Business its wildfire detector has spotted about 6,200 total thus far. The company
says it can often detect these fires when they're just about 10 acres in size. It's a big change from how fires
are often spotted in the US. Current methods include looking for fires via planes or lookout towers, or
simply having civilians report them.
Beyond that, the alerts can help first responders arrive more quickly, too. While a motorist or airplane
pilot may call in a smoke report for a general area, Descartes' text-based tool narrows down where the fire is.
“That's very beneficial,” Griego said, “especially at night when it's hard to determine what mountain range
this fire's actually on when you're on top of a peak 20 miles away.”
Caitlin Kontgis, an applied science team lead at Descartes, said the company is now starting to look at
how additional data might help it track fires, such as digital elevation models showing the locations of steep
slopes that would make it harder to fight a blaze.
