Read the following passage about the Designing Spaces That Connect Us to Nature 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.

Biophilic design has been turning heads and winning hearts by incorporating natural elements into our living and working spaces. This approach recognizes our innate connection to nature and how it affects our well-being. Studies show that exposure to natural light, plants, and natural materials can reduce stress and improve productivity. Many modern architects now integrate gardens, water features, and large windows into their designs. These elements help create environments where people can thrive both mentally and physically. As one designer put it, "We're bringing the outside in to help people feel at home in their skin."

The benefits of biophilic design extend beyond aesthetics. [I] Hospitals with views of nature report faster patient recovery times. Office buildings with natural elements see decreased absenteeism and increased worker satisfaction. [II] Schools incorporating biophilic principles observe improved student concentration and academic performance. [III] Even retail spaces benefit, with customers spending more time and money in naturally-designed environments. These practical advantages explain why biophilic design is gaining momentum across various sectors. [IV]

Implementing biophilic design doesn't require elaborate renovations. Simple changes like adding houseplants, using natural materials, or rearranging furniture to maximize natural light can make significant differences. Even artificial representations of nature, such as nature photography or recordings of birdsong, provide some benefits. The key is creating spaces that stimulate our senses in ways that remind us of natural environments. This approach works in urban apartments, suburban homes, and rural settings alike. As cities grow denser, these natural connections become increasingly valuable for maintaining our psychological health.

Looking ahead, biophilic design will likely become standard practice rather than a luxury option. Climate change concerns are pushing architects to create buildings that not only connect with nature but also protect it. Living walls that purify air, rooftop gardens that reduce energy consumption, and materials that sequester carbon are becoming more common. These innovations represent a shift from merely appreciating nature to actively participating in its preservation. By designing spaces that honor our biological need for natural connection, we create environments that support both human and planetary health for generations to come.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of biophilic design?

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 31 to 40.

Who are you?

On 6 June 2011, the media reported the kidnapping of a female Syrian-American blogger called Amina Arraf. Regarded as a daring political rebel, the 35-year-old had gained popularity for her blogs protesting the lack of freedom in Syria. Yet, only two days later, it was discovered that Amina had never existed. She was a fictional character created by Tom MacMaster, a forty-year-old American PhD student at the University of Edinburgh.

MacMaster's invention is an example of sock puppetry: the use of false identities to deceive others. (I). The false identity is known as a sock puppet, and its creator, a puppet master. (II). MacMaster created Amina to express his views on Middle Eastern affairs without offending other Americans. (III). Writing as Amina gave him the authority to say what he wanted. (IV).  

At the turn of the millennium, Debbie Swenson created Kaycee Nicole, a fictional teenage girl suffering from terminal cancer. Her blog, Living Colours, described Kaycee’s struggle, attracting millions of readers. When Kaycee 'died' on 14 May 2001, her fans were devastated. Their distress turned to anger when they discovered that Kaycee was not real. Swenson had developed the character to gain attention and sympathy.

While Amina and Kaycee were used to meet their creators' needs, other identities have been invented for profit. American gun advocate John Lott made up a fake student, Mary Rosh, to defend his writing online and give him positive reviews. Mystery writer RJ Ellory fabricated a team of sock puppets to praise his own books and tear into those of his rivals. British historian Orlando Figes lost credibility when he had to publicly apologise for doing the same.

Yet none of these stories compare to large-scale sock puppetry today. The New York City Police Department has false identities on social media to catch criminals. The US military is believed to use sock puppets to track potential terrorists. It is clear that the internet is a minefield today and we all have to step very carefully in order not to get hurt.
