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.

Read the following passage about Huawei company 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.

Huawei is a multinational company that makes  telecommunications  parts for  mobile phones , network equipment  and other high-tech  devices . It is the second largest such company in the world. Huawei has its headquarters  in Shenzhen, which became China’s first special economic zone  in 1979.

The Chinese technology company, which was founded  about 20 years ago, has over 100,000 workers in all parts of the world, more than Microsoft.  Most of the company is owned by its  employees .  Huawei started out in the rural  areas in China. In those days most of the telecom contracts  went to  state-owned  Chinese or  foreign  firms. As the company grew, it took hold of urban markets in big Chinese cities and in 1997 it  expanded to other countries.

Today, Huawei is the second biggest manufacturer of telecom equipment, after Ericsson. In 2011,  annual  sales  is expected to be about $12 billion dollars and  likely to get three times as high within the next ten years. Working for Huawei is something many young Chinese engineers and IT workers dream of. The 1.5 square km site  has modern apartments that can be rented, its own hospital, restaurants and bars where employees  can go to in their free time. For Chinese standards workers are well-paid. Although   Huawei has been concentrating  on making telecom parts and whole networks, the company is also looking into other industries in an  attempt to diversify and grow. At Shenzhen  engineers  are experimenting on new forms of video conferencing, a branch  that is expanding rapidly . The Chinese hi-tech giant  is also starting to produce cloud-based  hardware and computers that work  out of the box . 

Even though Huawei is one of the world leaders in producing mobile phone parts it is also pushing into the consumer market with its own  brand  of computers, tablets and smartphones. So far Huawei has failed  to reach  the American market because of security  reasons. The American  government  thinks it has connections  with the Chinese  military and is afraid it will spy  on the American  public 

In which paragraph does the writer mention Huawei’s efforts to enter the consumer electronics market?

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.
