Read the following passage about Traveling 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.

          Traveling and exploring new places is an exciting way to experience different cultures and expand one’s horizons. Whether it’s a short trip to a neighbouring town or a long journey to a foreign country, stepping out into the world offers numerous benefits. It allows individuals to gain new perspectives, meet diverse people, and create lasting memories. Additionally, traveling can enhance personal growth and provide a sense of adventure and fulfillment.

          One of the key advantages of traveling is the opportunity to learn about different cultures. By immersing oneself in a new environment, travellers can gain a deeper understanding of local customs, traditions, and lifestyles. This cultural exchange fosters mutual respect and appreciation among people from different backgrounds. Moreover, experiencing different cultures can challenge preconceptions and broaden one’s worldview.

          Traveling also promotes personal development. Facing unfamiliar situations and overcoming challenges can boost confidence and adaptability. Travelers often find themselves  navigating new cities, trying unfamiliar foods, and communicating in foreign languages. These experiences can enhance problem-solving skills and resilience. Furthermore, the sense of accomplishment from successfully managing a trip can lead to increased self-esteem and a greater sense of independence.

          Another benefit of traveling is the chance to disconnect from the routine of everyday life. Exploring new places provides a break from the usual responsibilities and stresses. This can be refreshing and rejuvenating, allowing individuals to return home with a renewed sense of energy and perspective. Travel can also foster creativity by exposing individuals to new sights, sounds, and ideas.

          Despite its benefits, traveling can also present challenges. Planning a trip requires time and effort, and unexpected situations can arise. However, these challenges can be viewed as opportunities for growth and learning. With careful planning and a positive mindset, the rewards of traveling far outweigh the difficulties.

Read the following passage about urbanization 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.

It's a widely held belief that cities harm the environment. For this reason, many developing countries have imposed restrictions on the movement of people from rural to urban areas and on the size of large cities. But there are problems with this viewpoint. Urbanization that is properly controlled can benefit the environment in a number of ways.

First, urbanization is a highly productive force due to the combination of economies of scale and positive externalities. Over 5.5 times as much is produced in Asia's cities as in its rural areas. Urban agglomeration makes it possible to use fewer resources to produce the same amount of work as non-urban areas. Urbanization therefore reduces the environmental impact. Urbanization is necessary because the service sector depends on a concentration of clients. The growth of service industries, which typically generate less waste than manufacturing, is another environmentally beneficial aspect of urbanization.

Second, for any given population, high urban density has no effect on the environment. According to urban economics studies, density is one of the most significant factors influencing energy consumption. In places with a high population density, public transportation may be more convenient and quicker. City dwellers are more likely to walk or ride a bike instead of drive. Third, the construction, upkeep, and operation of environmentally friendly public services and infrastructure, such as waste management, sanitation, and piped water, are considerably simpler and less expensive in urban areas. More people can now afford to use eco-friendly facilities and services thanks to urbanization.

Fourth, urbanization is driving the development of new technologies, including eco-friendly ones. Eco-friendly vehicles, utilities, and equipment are essential to the green economy's long-term survival. Asia's enormous market will support green innovations in cities because the region's enormous population will provide entrepreneurs with many incentives and opportunities to invest in the development of energy-efficient products. Last but not least, the improved standard of living brought about by urbanization has improved access to housing, food, healthcare, and education. Cities with more residents can invest more in infrastructure, which reduces traffic and improves public health. Urbanization fosters pro-environmental attitudes, especially among middle-class property owners, which greatly aid in the introduction and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations.

Any expanding city will inevitably incur expenses. People are moving in large numbers to Asian cities, and many companies have opened offices there to capitalize on this trend. Examples of industrial operations that contribute to urban sprawl and harm the environment include the generation of electricity, transportation, construction, trash, and waste disposal. Both the advantages and disadvantages of urbanization should be taken into account when assessing its effects on the environment.

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 best summarises the passage?

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.

Biting into a ripe, juicy fruit brings a smile to many people’s faces. But eating that same fruit a week before it is ripe probably wouldn’t be as enjoyable! Unripe fruits are often hard and bitter, but that serves a purpose. The hard exterior of an unripe fruit protects the developing seed inside. After a seed fully develops inside the fruit, the fruit changes color, softens, and gets sweeter to become more attractive to animals and humans. These organisms eat the fruit and spread its seeds, ensuring the plant’s survival and regrowth.

But how does a fruit ripen? The ripening process involves many complex chemical reactions. When a fruit ripens, it goes through a chemical change. A chemical change happens when bonds within molecules break, and the atoms that once formed them regroup into new molecules. Chemical changes are irreversible. Once a fruit ripens, it cannot become unripe again.

One molecule responsible for this chemical change is ethylene. Ethylene (C2H4) is a colorless gas made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms. (I). It is a naturally occurring molecule in the atmosphere. (II). It is also an important plant hormone. (III). Plants release ethylene through the growing tips of roots, flowers, and ripening fruit. (IV). Although ethylene serves other purposes in plants, one of its main purposes is to trigger the chemical reactions that cause fruits to ripen. As the fruit matures, oxygen in the air helps stimulate the production of ethylene. This ethylene production is a signal that begins fruit ripening. For that reason, unripe fruits have low levels of ethylene, while ripe fruits have higher levels of ethylene. Most fruits produce ethylene and respond to ethylene in the atmosphere.

Although fruits require ethylene to ripen, different types of fruits respond to this molecule in two distinct ways: non-climacteric fruits and climacteric fruits. Non-climacteric fruits do not ripen after harvesting. They produce very little ethylene of their own. Climacteric fruits, on the other hand, continue to ripen after they are picked. These fruits produce a large amount of ethylene. Climacteric fruits can also speed up the ripening process of other fruits nearby since they release high levels of ethylene into the air.  

Where in the passage does the following sentence best fit in paragraph 3?

“Plant hormones are chemicals produced by plants that control their growth, reproduction, maturation, and decay.”
