Questions 1-3 refer to the following passage

1.Marriage is one of the oldest human institutions and this is as true in Indian culture as
anywhere else. In India marriage, called “Kanyadana" or “donating a virgin”, is thought of as the
greatest sacrifice that a father can make and for the groom as an obligation to perpetuate his
bloodline. Many people believe that this is still binding after death. In early times, girls were
thought to be ready for marriage after puberty and later even children could be married. Divorce
and remarriage were not always possible. By Medieval times, marriage was compulsory for girls,
who very often married between the ages of eight and nine. Among those who able to afford it,
polygamy was common and rulers would often have one wife from their own region and other
minor wives from other areas. Now, divorce and remarriage is possible and non-Muslim Indian
men can only have one wife.

Although there are many regional variations, some features of the Indian wedding ceremony are
similar throughout the country. In general, weddings are very complicated events and involve
long negotiations about dowry payments prior to the event. After this has been decided, a day is
chosen by asking an astrologer to find a lucky day. Preparations begin early because a marriage
is not only one of the highlights of a person’s life, but a large and complex social gathering to
organize. The night before, the bride, her friends, and female relatives gather together for a party
called a “mehendi”, where they paint each other’s hands and feet with Henna and dance and
listen to music. Her guests often give the bride advice about married life and tease her about her
future husband. Weddings are traditionally held at the bride’s home or in a temple, but parks,
hotels and marriage halls are becoming increasingly popular. On the day a wedding, altar or
“mandapa” is built and covered in flowers. All of the wedding ceremonies will be held on the altar.

Questions 4-6 refer to the following passage

4. A stereotype is a fixed idea that people have about what specific social groups or individuals
are like, especially an idea that is wrong. Other terms that are associated with the term
stereotype are prejudice and cliché. The term has a Greek origin: stereos means solid or firm
and typos mean blow, impression, engraved or mark. The term __10__ in the printing business.
The first modern English use of the term was in 1850, meaning "image perpetuated without
change."

Because stereotypes are standardized and simplified ideas of groups, based on some
prejudices, they __11__ from objective facts, but rather subjective and often unverifiable ideas.
As Sociologist Charles E. Hurst states* "One reason for stereotypes is the lack of personal,
concrete familiarity that individuals have with persons in other racial or ethnic groups. Lack of
familiarity encourages the lumping together of unknown individuals".

The existence of stereotypes may be explained by the need of groups of people to view
themselves as more normal or more superior than other groups. Consequently, stereotypes may
be used to justify ill-founded prejudices or ignorance and prevent people of stereotyped groups
from entering or succeeding in various activities or fields. The stereotyping group are, generally,
reluctant to reconsider their attitudes and behavior __12__ stereotyped groups.

Stereotypes may affect people negatively. This includes forming __13__ images and opinions of
people. Stereotypes may also be used for scapegoating or for making general erroneous
judgments about people. Some stereotyping people may feel comfortable when they prevent
themselves from emotional identification with the stereotyped group, which leads to xenophobic
or racist behavior.

Questions 7-9 refer to the following passage

7. Myth, Stories, & Reality

(1) In the modern period, with the growing influence of rational scientific views of the world, the term
"myth" has more and more come to denote stories that are false, and this is the most common use of
the word today. Yet this definition of the term assumes that contemporary methods of scientific
analysis have the final word on what is and is not real. Mythic storytellers both past and present, on
the other hand, have typically assumed that reality is too complex to grasp by means of any one
method of analysis, and so have relied heavily on stories to provide a glimpse of that complexity. For
them, stories about mythic worlds were in an important sense more real than accounts of observable
facts. Such storytellers admitted that the beings inhabiting mythic worlds, and the events taking place
in them, were directly visible only to a few, uniquely endowed visionaries. Yet they also pointed out
hidden connections between invisible mythic realities and the ordinary people, places, things and
events that they and their audiences daily experienced.

(2) Mythic storytellers of ancient Greece, for example, told about ancient events like the Trojan war,
and about supernatural beings like Zeus and other deities believed to dwell on remote Mount
Olympus. Such storytellers and their Greek audiences certainly realized that they could not see Trojan
heroes and Olympian deities. Yet they seem to have felt that stories like those of Troy and the
Olympians were secretly connected to the familiar realities of warfare, and to the unseen influence of
supernatural powers on their daily lives. The ancient peoples of the Middle East, likewise, told stories
now recorded in the Hebrew Bible, New Testament, and Qur'an. Most surely admitted to themselves
that they could not directly see God, angels or the demons depicted in those stories; yet they felt
strongly the mysterious presence of divine and demonic beings during both inward prayer and
outward acts of service. This course includes many examples of similar stories from other cultures.
(3) Even in modern secular culture, furthermore, storytellers continue to establish connections
between what most of us experience daily and the deeper mystery of the reality that encompasses
everything. Realist types of science fiction connect the world we see today to the as yet invisible yet
possible world of the future. Mythic storytelling also continues to evolve in efforts to explore the
spiritual realities often hidden by ordinary perception, drawing on the science of quantum physics and
neurology, as illustrated vividly in the film "What the Bleep Do We Know?" Finally, storytelling is also a
powerful force used to draw attention to the web of interconnections that make up our global
community, and to the momentous challenges that our species will face in coming generations (see
for example the film "Baraka: a World Beyond Words"). Stories told about contemporary issues such
as climate change and peak oil do fit the deeper meaning of the word "myth," since they connect
visible daily experience to invisible social, geological and economic forces that influence our lives.

Questions 10-13 refer to the following passage

10. (1) How humans perceive color, and how all those shades are related, is a question scientists
and philosophers have been attempting to answer for millennia. The ancient Greeks, who
famously had no word for the color blue, argued over whether colors were composed of red,
black, white, and light, or whether color was celestial light sent down from the heavens by the
gods and that each color was a mixture of white and black or lightness and darkness. Isaac
Newton’s experiments with prisms identified the components of the rainbow and led him to
theorize that the three primary colors, from which all other colors are made, are red, yellow, and
blue.

(2) Today, our scientific understanding of color perception is rooted in biology. Each color
represents a specific part of the electromagnetic spectrum, though humans can only see the slice
of this spectrum known as “visible light.” Of the wavelengths visible to humans, red ones are
longer, while blues and violets are shorter. Photons of light stimulate photoreceptors in the eye,
which transform that information into electrical signals that are sent to the retina, which
processes those signals and sends them along to the brain’s visual cortex. But the mechanics of
how the eye and nervous system interact with those light waves, and how a person subjectively
perceives color, are two very different things.

(3) Some aspects of color can already be measured precisely. Scientists can calculate the
wavelength of the light and the luminance, or brightness, of a color. But once you bring human
perception into the mix, things get a little more complicated. People perceive color by factoring in
a number of other variables, like the quality of the light or the other tones bordering the color.
Sometimes that means the brain will perceive the same object as two completely different colors;
that happened with the famous dress, which in some lights looked white and gold and in others
looked blue and black.

(4) And sometimes those brain calculations mean that two completely different inputs can elicit
the same perception. Yellow light, for example, has its own specific wavelength that the brain
understands as yellow. But mix a green and a red light—each of which have their own unique
wavelengths—and the brain will also understand that combination to be yellow, too, even though
that light’s physical properties are different from the other wavelengths we perceive to be yellow.
Figuring out why our brains interpret those two different inputs as similar has been hard to puzzle
out.

Questions 14-16 refer to the following passage

14. Poor nutrition in school years may have created 20 cm height gap across nations

(1) A new global analysis led by Imperial College London, and published in journal The Lancet,
has assessed the height and weight of school-aged children and adolescents across the world.

(2) The study, which used data from 65 million children aged five to 19 years old in 193
countries, revealed that school-aged children's height and weight, which are indicators of their
health and quality of their diet, vary enormously around the world.

(3) There was a 20 cm difference between 19-year-olds in the tallest and shortest nations -- this
represented an eight-year growth gap for girls, and a six-year growth gap for boys. For instance,
the study revealed that the average 19-year-old girl in Bangladesh and Guatemala (the nations
with the world's shortest girls) is the same height as an average 11-year-old girl in the
Netherlands, the nation with the tallest boys and girls.

(4) The international team behind the study warn that highly variable childhood nutrition,
especially a lack of quality food, may lead to stunted growth and a rise in childhood obesity --
affecting a child's health and wellbeing for their entire life.

(5) The largest improvements in average height of children over the 35-year period were seen in
emerging economies such as China, South Korea and some parts of southeast Asia. For
example, 19-year old boys in China in 2019 were 8 cm taller than in 1985, with their global rank
changing from 150th tallest in 1985 to 65th in 2019. In contrast the height of children, especially
boys, in many Sub-Saharan African nations has stagnated or reduced over these decades.

(6) Dr Andrea Rodriguez Martinez, the lead author of the study from Imperial's School of Public
Health, added: "Our findings should motivate policies that increase the availability and reduce the
cost of nutritious foods, as this will help children grow taller without gaining excessive weight for
their height. These initiatives include food vouchers towards nutritious foods for low-income
families, and free healthy school meal programmes which are particularly under threat during the
pandemic. These actions would enable children to grow taller without gaining excessive weight,
with lifelong benefits for their health and wellbeing."

Questions 17-18 refer to the following passage

17. Antimicrobial Resistance

(1) The threat to health care posed by the misuse of antimicrobial drugs has not crept up on us.
As long ago as 1945, bacteriologist Alexander Fleming said, after winning a Nobel prize for his
part in the discovery of penicillin, that overuse of the drug might lead to forms of bacteria that
were resistant to its effects.

(2) If left unchecked, drug-resistant diseases could kill more people than cancer. Despite the
warnings, and a global consensus among scientists and policymakers that something must be
done to address resistance to antimicrobial drugs, society has struggled to respond.

(3) Researchers are investigating ways to slow the rise of antimicrobial resistance. Insights into
how and when genes that confer resistance persist in bacteria, for instance, could lead to new
treatment strategies. Some scientists are seeking to reinvigorate the existing antimicrobial
armoury to overcome bacterial defences. And others are advocating fresh approaches to
antibiotic development that could finally bring more drugs to market.

(4) But the lack of new antibiotics is not just a biochemical problem — it is also a considerable
economic challenge. Antibiotics are not an attractive investment: development is costly, prices
are low and new drugs are likely to be used sparingly. To combat this and provide incentives for
antibiotic research, pharmaceutical companies and governments are exploring different
approaches, including a subscription-based model.

Questions 32-35 refer to the following passage

32. What Will It Take to Clean Up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch?

(1) The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a soupy mix of plastics and microplastics, now twice the
size of Texas, in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean. Every minute of every day, the equivalent
of a truckload of plastic enters our oceans, finding its way to the middle of the garbage patch. Put
another way, there are as many as 51 trillion microplastic particles in the sea, 500 times more
than the number of stars in our galaxy. It’s difficult for the mind to comprehend that magnitude of
plastic, so how do we deal with this problem?

(2) While cleanup efforts are commendable, in order to truly tackle this crisis, corporations have
to stop producing so much plastic and pushing an unsustainable throwaway culture. Think of it
this way: if your bathtub was overflowing, you wouldn’t immediately reach for a mop. You’d first
cut off the water at the tap — the source — which is what we have to do with plastic production.

(3) Communities worldwide are already fighting back against the single-use plastics that are
forced upon us by corporations like PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Nestle, Procter & Gamble, and
Unilever. Folks are auditing their communities and naming the corporations who are most
responsible for the plastic pollution they find. Cities and states are passing laws to transition
away from single-use plastic and some companies are already taking steps to reduce their
plastic footprint.

36. Questions 36-38 refer to the following passage

(1) Annually, more than 115 million animals are used worldwide in experimentation or to supply
the biomedical industry. Nonhuman animal experimentation falls under two categories: basic
(i.e., investigation of basic biology and human disease) and applied (i.e., drug research and
development and toxicity and safety testing). Regardless of its categorization, animal
experimentation is intended to inform human biology and health sciences and to promote the
safety and efficacy of potential treatments. Despite its use of immense resources, the animal
suffering involved, and its impact on human health, the question of animal experimentation’s
efficacy has been subjected to little systematic scrutiny.
(2) Although it is widely accepted that medicine should be evidence based, animal
experimentation as a means of informing human health has generally not been held, in practice,
to this standard. This fact makes it surprising that animal experimentation is typically viewed as
the default and gold standard of preclinical testing and is generally supported without critical
examination of its validity.

(3) A survey published in 2008 of anecdotal cases and statements given in support of animal
experimentation demonstrates how it has not and could not be validated as a necessary step in
biomedical research, and the survey casts doubt on its predictive value. It shows that animal
experimentation is poorly predictive of human outcomes, that it is unreliable across a wide
category of disease areas, and that existing literature demonstrates the unreliability of animal
experimentation, thereby undermining scientific arguments in its favor. It further shows that the
collective harms that result from an unreliable practice tip the ethical scale of harms and benefits
against continuation in much, if not all, of experimentation involving animals.
