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.
Exactly 50 years ago, humanity stepped foot on the surface of the Moon for the first time. It was
a miracle, and one made so powerful because it was so very unlikely. It was hailed as an
incredible success. But the chance of failure was such that authorities had to prepare for the
possibility of losing the astronauts. Those preparations offer a humbling insight into how risky
that mission was, and how high the stakes were. Probably the most potent document from those
preparations is the speech that would have been used to hail the bravery of the astronauts as they
were left to their death on the Moon.
It was written to announce to the world that the astronauts had been lost, and that the Moon
mission was a failure. After it was read, the two astronauts would be given a ceremony
something like the burial at sea, but one entirely without precedent. The document was hidden
for many years – unused, it was "quietly tucked away into the record" after the astronauts
returned home, as the National Archive that now holds it notes. But over time it became public,
after being revealed by the man who wrote it, and is now available for the public to read.
It was prepared in the case that the astronauts and their moon lander failed to get back to the
main craft that was floating around in the Moon's orbit ready to bring them home, and contained
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's colleague Michael Collins. In that case, it was most likely that
those pioneering explorers would not lose their lives in a single spectacular moment. Instead,
they would most likely be stranded, stuck 250,000 miles from Earth with no way of getting back
home. "If they couldn't get back safely, they'd have to be abandoned on the moon, left to die
there," speechwriter William Safire said in 1999. "The men would either have to starve to death
or commit suicide."
In the end, and despite some very anxious moments, the crew would explore the lunar surface
and come back down safely. That meant that, instead of announcing their loss, Nixon could
instead share in the astronaut's success. In one of the most famous moments of the mission, he
spoke to them in a phone call that was beamed around the world. He recognised the triumph of
their achievement, and wished them safety for their return.

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.
More than 200 reindeer have died of starvation on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, with
scientists blaming their deaths on climate change. The wild deer carcasses were found on the
Arctic islands this summer by researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute (NPI), which said
it had never logged so many deaths at once in 40 years of monitoring the animals’ population
level. “It’s scary to find so many dead animals,” project leader Ashild Onvik Pedersen told state
broadcaster NRK. “This is an example of how climate change affects nature. It is just sad.”
Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on earth, is thought to be warming
quicker than any other settlement on the planet, climate scientists warned earlier this year. The
milder temperatures in the region led to unusually heavy rainfall in December, leaving a thick
layer of ice when the precipitation froze. This meant the reindeer could not dig through the
hardened tundra to reach the vegetation they graze on in their usual pastures, the NPI said.
Svalbard’s reindeer have been observed eating seaweed and kelp when food is scarce, but these
are less nutritious and cause them stomach problems.
A relatively high number of calves born last year increased the death toll, as the youngest and
weakest are often the first to die in harsh conditions. “Some of the mortality is natural because
there were so many calves last year. But the large number we see now is due to heavy rain,
which is due to global warming,” said Ms Onvik Pedersen.
A team of three scientists spent 10 weeks investigating population of the Svalbard reindeer
earlier this year. Researchers warned the decline of reindeer would cause unwanted plant species,
currently kept in check by the animals’ grazing, to spread across Arctic ecosystems in Europe,
Asia and North America.
Arctic reindeer and caribou populations have declined 56 per cent in the last two decades, a
report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said last year. The report said
food security was partly to blame for falling herd numbers, while warmer summers could also
put the animals at greater risk of diseases spread by flies and parasites. The average temperature
in Longyearbyen has risen by 3.7C since 1900, more than three times the global average increase
of about 1C. In 2016, the entrance to the town’s “Doomsday” seed vault – which stores
specimens of almost all the world’s seeds – was flooded following heavy rainfall.

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 best explainer videos are realized by great background score. When was the last time you
watched a silent movie? Never? Not for a while? A long while? Even if you remember watching
one, it would still have had a background score, or you’ve accidentally pressed the mute button!
The importance of background music and sound effects for your explainer video, therefore,
cannot be overstated. You may not need a full blown orchestra or classy jazz tones to create the
mood, but whether going for a subtle effect, a professional demonstration or simply trying to
attract customers, music is a must. Explainer videos have the emotional quotient working for
them and music is just going to add more to make the viewers relate to the pain points you are
highlighting in your video. Imagine if your favorite video game has no background music or
sound effects to back the amazing graphics? Would you play it with the same feel and
excitement? Nah! Same is the case with your explainer videos. They need to and should have apt
sound effects to make them worth your viewer’s time.
While the focus of explainer videos production is more on passing the desired information and
explaining technical and complex procedures easily, it doesn’t mean you’ll be distracting your
viewers with the background music. The sound effects and music is not going to take the
message away from your explainer, it’s just going to enhance it and turn it more watchable and
share-able. Even if your video doesn’t require a background score, it must include some sound
effects or else it would be not so good an experience for those who choose to watch it.

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.
In our connected globalized world, the languages which dominate communications and business,
Mandarin, Hindi, English, Spanish and Russian amongst others, are placing small languages
spoken in remote places under increasing pressure. Fewer and fewer people speak languages
such as Liki, Taushiro and Dumi as their children shift away from the language of their ancestors
towards languages which promise education, success and the chance of a better life. While to
many parents, this may appear a reasonable choice, giving their offspring the opportunity to
achieve the sort of prosperity they see on television, the children themselves often lose touch
with their roots. However, in many places the more reasonable option of bilingualism, where
children learn to speak both a local and a national language, is being promoted. This gives hope
that many endangered languages will survive, allowing people to combine their links to local
tradition with access to wider world culture.
While individuals are free to choose if they wish to speak a minority language, national
governments should be under no obligation to provide education in an economically
unproductive language, especially in times of budget constraints. It is generally accepted that
national languages unite and help to create wealth while minority regional languages divide.
Furthermore, governments have a duty to ensure that young people can fulfil their full potential,
meaning that state education must provide them with the ability to speak and work in their
national language and so equip them to participate responsibly in national affairs. People whose
language competence does not extend beyond the use of a regional tongue have limited
prospects. This means that while many people may feel a sentimental attachment to their local
language, their government’s position should be one of benign neglect, allowing people to speak
the language, but not acting to prevent its eventual disappearance.
Many PhD students studying minority languages lack the resources to develop their language
skills, with the result that they have to rely on interpreters and translators to communicate with
speakers of the language they are studying. This has a detrimental effect on the quality of their
research. At the same time, they have to struggle against the frequently expressed opinion that
minority languages serve no useful purpose and should be allowed to die a natural death. Such a
view fails to take into account the fact that a unique body of knowledge and culture, built up over
thousands of years, is contained in a language and that language extinction and species extinction
are different facets of the same process. They are part of an impending global catastrophe which
is beginning to look unavoidable.

Amparo Lasén, the Spanish sociologist who conducted the study found that Londoners use their
cell phones the least in public. If they are with others, they prefer to let calls be answered by
voice mail (a recorded message) and then they check for messages later. If the English do answer
a call on the street, they seem to dislike talking with others around. They tend to move away
from a crowded sidewalk and seek out a place (23) ________ they cannot be heard, such as the
far side of a subway entrance or even the edge of a street. They seem to feel that the danger of
the traffic is (24) ___________ to the risk of having their conversation be overheard. This has
led to a behavior that Laser has called "clustering." At a busy time of day on the streets of
London, you may find small crowds of cell phone users grouped together, each one talking into a
cell phone. Even when it is raining—as it is often in London—people still prefer not to hold their
conversations where others could hear. They talk (25) _____________ their umbrellas or in a
doorway.

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.
No matter how much you’ve trained, performance anxiety before or during a competition may
occur, hindering the results of your match.
While you can tell yourself to stay calm prior to a competition, managing performance anxiety
may not be as simple as. Research has shown that strategies such as meditation and guided
imagery are great places to start; both require your brain to rehearse what you will do during
your competition. Your imagination holds much more power than you may expect, helping you
focus on how to beat your opponent, instead of other factors that contribute to your anxiety.
Adequate preparation also plays a large role.
To master the mental game, it takes time. Starting one month before your competition, consider
sitting in solitude in a comfortable position for 15 minutes each day. Focus first on breathing in
and out deeply. Then, begin to imagine competition situations and visualize yourself in a fight
with your competitor. Be mindful of your anxiety and return your focus to breathing if you feel
yourself tense up. Sometimes, you may find yourself thinking self-deprecating or negative
thoughts, at which point you should consciously replace any negative self-talk with positive self-
talk. During these visualizations, also be sure to think about your posture and form and create
cues — mental and verbal — that will help you review and correct your technique.
Pre-competition jitters are completely normal and it’s important to acknowledge that. Accepting
that this excitement and/or nervousness is normal will help your body also understand that what
you are experiencing is not fear, but perhaps part of your adrenaline response to competition.
With more experience, mindful visualization and mental/physical preparation can help you
manage and overcome performance anxiety.

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.
Coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems in the world, housing tens of thousands of
marine species. With their hardened surfaces, corals are sometimes mistaken as being rocks.
And, because they are attached, “taking root” to the seafloor, they are often mistaken for plants.
However, unlike rocks, corals are alive. And unlike plants, corals do not make their own food.
Corals are in fact animals. Appearing as solitary forms in the fossil record more than 400 million
years ago, corals are extremely ancient animals that evolved into modern reef-building forms
over the last 25 million years.
Coral reefs are the largest structures on earth of biological origin. Coral reefs are unique and
complex systems. Rivaling old growth forests in longevity of their ecological communities, well-
developed reefs reflect thousands of years of history.
Corals are ancient animals related to jellyfish and anemones. The branch or mound that we often
call “a coral” is actually made up of thousands of tiny animals called polyps. A coral polyp is an
invertebrate that can be no bigger than a pinhead to up to 30 centimeters (1 foot) in diameter.
The polyps extend their tentacles at night to sting and ingest tiny organisms called plankton and
other small creatures. Each polyp has a saclike body and a mouth that is encircled by stinging
tentacles. The polyp uses calcium carbonate (limestone) from seawater to build a hard, cup-
shaped skeleton. This skeleton protects the soft, delicate body of the polyp.
Reefs only occur in shallow areas that are reachable by sunlight because of the relationship
between coral and algae. Various types of microscopic algae, known as Symbiodinium, live
inside of the coral, providing them with food and helping them to grow faster.
There are over 2,500 kinds (species) of corals. About 1,000 are the hard corals that build coral
reefs. Other corals are soft corals. Soft corals have skeletons that are flexible and can bend with
the water. The three main types of coral reefs are fringing reefs, barrier reefs, and coral atolls.
The most common type of reef is the fringing reef. This type of reef grows seaward directly from
the shore. They form borders along the shoreline and surrounding islands. When a fringing reef
continues to grow upward from a volcanic island that has sunk entirely below sea level, an atoll
is formed. Atolls are usually circular or oval in shape, with an open lagoon in the center. Any
reef that is called a barrier reef gets its name because its presence protects the shallow waters
along the shore from the open sea. That protection promotes the survival of many types of sea
plant and animal life.

New research shows that long-term changes in diseases in ocean species coincides with
decades of widespread environmental change. The paper, "Increases and decreases in marine
disease reports in an era of global change," was published Oct. 9 in Proceedings of the Royal
Society B.
Understanding oceanic trends is important for evaluating today's threats to marine systems,
and disease is an important sentinel of change, according to senior author Drew Harvell,
professor of marine biology at Cornell University. "Disease increases and decreases can both be
bad news," said lead author Allison Tracy, who studied with Harvell. "The long-term changes in
disease that we see here may result from anthropogenic pressure on plants and animals in the
ocean." The researchers examined marine infectious disease reports from 1970 to 2013, which
transcend short-term fluctuations and regional variation. They examined records of corals,
urchins, mammals, decapods, fish, mollusks, sharks, rays, seagrass and turtles.
For corals and urchins, reports of infectious disease increased over the 44-year period. In the
Caribbean, increasing coral disease reports correlated with warming events. It is widely known
that coral bleaching increases with warming, but Harvell said they have established a long-term
connection between warming and coral disease. "We've finally linked a coral killer like
infectious disease to repeated warming bouts over four decades of change," she said. "Our study
shows that infectious disease reports are associated with warm temperature anomalies in corals
on a multi-decadal scale." These results improve understanding of how changing environments
alter species interactions, and they provide a solid baseline for health of marine life in the period
studied.

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 quote CREST founder Dr. Martha Honey, we earnestly believe that ecotourism is “simply
a better way to travel.” Here’s a look at how this transformational approach to travel benefits
conservation, increases cross-cultural understanding, and ultimately turns travelers into
environmental advocates:
To see how ecotourism benefits nature and wildlife, let’s look at endangered species such as
African Elephants. Ivory from Elephant tusks is worth $1500 a pound on the black market,
which has led to a dramatic increase in poaching. But Elephants are worth 76 times more alive
than dead. When you consider the revenue from wildlife photography tours, luxury safari camps,
and other ecotourism offerings, a single Elephant is worth $1.3 million over the course of its
lifetime! Ecotourism offers a long-term alternative to exploitation, generating sustainable
revenue and ensuring better overall health of the ecosystem.
Nature reserves and national parks help prevent deforestation and pollution, while also
protecting the habitat of endemic species. The revenue that ecotourism provides can help replace
profits from exploitative practices such as mining or slash ‘n’ burn agriculture. It can also help
ensure the long-term financial viability of the area. Naturalist guides also help travelers
understand the value of a pristine ecosystem, and teach them about the importance of
conservation. This ultimately help to create a more mindful and conscious legion of travelers.
When managed properly, ecotourism can offer locals alternative revenue streams. In wildlife-
rich countries such as Rwanda, former poachers are often employed as guides or trackers,
capitalizing on their knowledge of the animals and their habitat. In Costa Rica, unemployment
has fallen to less than 10% since the country started building its ecotourism infrastructure in the
1970s. Involving local communities in tourism management empowers them by ensuring that
more revenue is reinvested locally. Ecotourism also offers indigenous peoples an opportunity to
remain on ancestral land, conserve it, and preserve traditional culture.
Sure, being a responsible traveler takes a greater level of commitment to being conscious and
mindful of the impact we have on the destinations we visit. But ecotourism also offers us
incredible, transformative experiences, allowing us to develop closer personal relationships to
the nature, wildlife, and local people we encounter during our adventures. Learning about
ecotourism can permanently change your understanding of mankind’s role in our planetary
ecosystem. And once you’ve had that sort of travel experience, you’ll never want to travel the
traditional way again.
