Read the following passage about The Longitude Prize and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions

     On a stormy night in 1707, four ships struck rocks off the south coast of England and sank. [I] One thousand, four hundred sailors were drowned. [II] The ships had crashed because they had no way of knowing how far they had travelled in a particular direction; they could not calculate their longitude, which required accurate time measurement. [III] In such difficult circumstances, they believed that the best response to the disaster was a competition: the Longitude Prize. [IV]

     The Longitude Prize was no ordinary competition. To win it, someone had to find a way of calculating how far a ship had travelled east or west from its point of departure. Geniuses such as Sir Isaac Newton had failed to find a solution, so to ensure the interest of Britain’s greatest scientific minds, the government offered a prize of £20,000 — the equivalent of £2.6 million in today’s money. But to everyone’s surprise, it wasn’t a famous academic who solved the problem, but an unknown carpenter.

     When John Harrison wasn’t working with wood, he was making clocks. An accurate clock would allow sailors to calculate their position, but at the time it was thought impossible to create a mechanical clock that could work on a ship. The movement of the sea and the changes in temperature destroyed the delicate parts. However, after three frustrated attempts, Harrison’s fourth sea clock, H4, finally triumphed. Its mechanics were so good that the H4 worked better than most clocks on land.

   The Longitude Prize and Harrison’s success generated a lot of interest in the 18th century, but it was soon forgotten. However, in 2013, the British government created a new Longitude Prize, offering £10 million to the person who could solve a great challenge to humanity. An enthralled public then took part in a TV programme where viewers chose one challenge from a list of six for scientists to focus on. The question now is, will someone be able to solve it just as well as Harrison solved the challenge presented to him?

Read the following passage about Building Understanding Across Nations 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 23 to 30.

In our interconnected world, cultural ambassadors play a vital role in bridging the gaps between different nations and peoples. These dedicated individuals and groups serve as links between cultures, fostering mutual understanding and respect through various activities and programs. Their mission is to showcase their own cultural heritage while learning about and appreciating others, creating pathways for meaningful dialogue and lasting connections across borders.

Cultural ambassadors employ numerous methods to achieve their goals. They organize traditional festivals and art exhibitions that display unique customs, allowing visitors to experience different cultures firsthand. Language exchange programs enable people to communicate more effectively, while cultural workshops teach traditional crafts, music, and dance. These ambassadors also utilize digital platforms to reach wider audiences, sharing stories and traditions through social media and online events that connect people from different corners of the world.

Despite their important work, cultural ambassadors face several challenges in their mission. Stereotypes and prejudices can create barriers to understanding, while language differences sometimes lead to misunderstandings. Limited resources and funding may restrict their activities, and political tensions between nations can complicate their efforts. However, these dedicated individuals persist in their work, believing that personal connections and shared experiences can overcome these obstacles and promote harmony among different communities.

Looking ahead, the role of cultural ambassadors becomes increasingly significant in our global society. Their efforts to build bridges between nations contribute to reducing conflicts and fostering peace. Through their continued dedication to promoting cross-cultural understanding, these ambassadors help create a more inclusive and connected world where differences are celebrated rather than feared. This ongoing process of cultural exchange remains essential for building a future based on mutual respect and cooperation.
