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
The volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand. This causes many problems,
including serious air pollution, lengthy delays, and the greater risk of accidents. Clearly, something must be done,
but it is often difficult to persuade people to change their habits and leave their cars at home.
One possible approach is to make it more expensive for people to use their cars by increasing charges for
parking and bringing in tougher fines for anyone who breaks the law. In addition, drivers could be required to pay
for using particular routes at different times of the day. This system, known as ‘road pricing’, is already being
introduced in a number of cities, using a special electronic card fixed to the windscreen of the car.
Another way of dealing with the problem is to provide cheap parking on the outskirts of the city, and strictly
control the number of vehicles allowed into the centre. Drivers and their passengers then use special bus services for
the final stage of their journey.
Of course, the most important thing is to provide good public transport. However, to get people to give up
the comfort of their cars, public transport must be felt to be reliable, convenient and comfortable, with fares kept at
an acceptable level.

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 25 to 31.
Nepal has made important progress over the past few years to promote equality, but the country still has one of the
highest rates of child marriage in the world. 41% of Nepalese girls are married before the age of 18.
Poverty is both a cause and consequence of child marriage in Nepal. Girls from the wealthiest families marry 2 years
later than those from the poorest, who are seen as an economic burden, and who drop out of school and earn little
money.
Food insecurity plays an important role too. Nepalese families that do not have enough food to eat are more likely to
marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial burden. One study shows that 91% of people who had
secure access to food married over the age of 19.
Dowry is also common practice in many communities. Parents marry their daughters as soon as possible because the
money they have to pay to the groom’s family is higher if their daughter is older. Since 2010, the legal age of marriage
is 20 for both men and women, or 18 with parental consent, according to the Nepalese Country Code.
The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to three years and a fine of up to 10,000
rupees (£102). But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied. There has been quite a lot of progress in Nepal over
the past 3 years with a clear government commitment to ending child marriage and civil society cooperation. The
Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare is currently developing Nepal’s first national strategy on child
marriage in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal and Girls Not Brides Nepal. However, the post-earthquake and post-
fuel crisis environment has meant progress is slow and the national strategy has been delayed.
