Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 20 to 27.

Traditional Media

Before the invention of newspapers, the main source of news was word of mouth. Any writings and drawings were done by hand. Although printing presses had existed in eastern Asia, it was Gutenberg’s invention in Europe in 1453 that made printing faster and books more accessible. It reduced the cost and size of printed books and made them the first form of mass media affordable to less wealthy people. Gutenberg’s invention also quickened the spread of discoveries and information, and promoted literacy in Europe.

The printing press led to the rise of printed newspapers that appeared regularly. The first newspapers developed from around 1612 and in a short period of time, they became very popular in Europe and the European colonies. In the 19th century, they also appeared in Asia.

Newspapers and magazines are still very popular today. Although most of them have online versions, many people continue to read print media, which is considered more credible than digital media.

In the 1920s, when radio, television, and video were introduced, the phrase “the media” began to be used. Black and white television quickly became popular in the 1950s, and in the 1960s colour broadcasts started in many countries. Thanks to its audiovisual presentation, television became one of the most important forms of mass media in the 20th century. As a source of news, entertainment, and education, it still attracts a large number of viewers today.

Read the following passage about the impact of tweeting on everybody and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 22

EVERYBODY’S TWEETING

Twitter (18) ________________ for a podcasting website, but then people realized that it offered them the power to connect with millions of people instantly. Suddenly, everyone had a voice, as long as it wasn’t longer than 140 characters. But what are we using it for, and just how is Twitter changing the way we do things?

Perhaps the greatest impact Twitter has had is on breaking news. Before Twitter, (19) _____________ before finally broadcasting it on the radio or TV. These days, anyone who happens to be in the right place at the right time with a Twitter account can post news the second it happens. For example, Janis Krums posted a photo and a tweet when he witnessed a US flight making an emergency landing in the Hudson River. He must never have imagined that he would break the story to the world.

Following Pop Idols

Young people have always loved to follow their pop idols, and Twitter has made it a whole lot easier. Before the Internet, teenagers used to join the fan clubs of their favorite bands and write letters to their heroes,

(20) _________________ to get a reply written by the club secretary. Today’s teenagers don’t need to wait. By following their idols on Twitter, they get all the news the minute it happens: their meals, activities, or even thoughts. And all the news comes directly from the bands themselves.

Identifying the source of a piece of news

It’s good to get an idea of the background of a person who says or writes something. Are they an impartial expert or someone who wants to change your opinion to suit their own agenda? For example, this statement about a flu epidemic, “Patients can already spread the virus a day before they’ve even fallen sick themselves”, is more likely to come from a doctor than a politician. On the other hand, “We have to stop people who are carrying the virus from getting into the country” is more likely to come from a politician. (22) _____________, you’re better able to decide how much importance to give it and whether you can really trust what they say.

Read the following passage about Renewable energy sources and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

          [I] Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, have gained global popularity as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. [II] Unlike coal and oil, renewable energy generates electricity without releasing harmful emissions, making it a cleaner option for the environment (Jacobson et al., 2017). [III] However, despite the advantages of renewable energy, there are still notable challenges that need to be addressed for it to fully replace traditional energy sources (Ell Abban et al., 2014). [IV]

          One major advantage of renewable energy is its sustainability. Renewable resources, unlike fossil fuels, are naturally replenished and do not deplete over time. For instance, solar power harnesses energy from sunlight, which is virtually endless. In addition, renewable energy contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which helps combat climate change. Many countries are increasingly investing in renewable technologies to decrease their carbon footprint and meet international climate goals.

          However, renewable energy has certain limitations. One significant issue is its intermittent nature; for example, solar and wind power depend on weather conditions, making it difficult to generate a consistent power supply. This variability can disrupt the energy grid, which relies on a steady supply of electricity to meet demand. Another challenge is the high initial cost of setting up renewable energy facilities. Although prices have decreased in recent years, installing solar panels or wind turbines still requires substantial upfront investment (IRENA, 2019).

          Despite these challenges, advancements in technology are gradually making renewable energy more efficient and accessible. Improved energy storage systems, such as batteries, allow excess power generated during favourable conditions to be stored and used later, ensuring a more reliable energy supply. As technology and infrastructure improve, renewable energy may eventually.

According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT an advantage of renewable energy?
