Read the following passage and indicate the correct word or phrase.
One of the main causes of pressure on children today is the increased use of social media. Nowadays
children spend (34) _______ hours interacting with social media platforms. It is thought this has led to pressures
to maintain a particular image. If children share an image or video online, the number of likes or comments can
have a dramatic effect on how they feel about themselves. They also feel under pressure to maintain a particular
image to show how exciting their lifestyle is. (35) _______, there is a constant focus on their social lives, and
they feel judged about their vacations and the things they like and do.
In addition to pressures from social media, children are feeling increasing pressure from living in an
environment (36) _______ they are always in contact with people. Previously, if a child had a difficult time with
friends, they could leave this behind at school. The shift to smartphones has meant that this has become

Read the following passage and indicate the answer to each of the question.
In a world with increasing levels of carbon in the atmosphere, these new findings imply that warmer weather
and longer growing seasons will not allow temperate deciduous trees to take up more carbon dioxide. The
study’s predictive model suggests that by 2100, when tree growing seasons are expected to be between 22 and
34 days longer, leaves will fall from trees between three and six days earlier than they do now.
This has significant implications for climate change modelling. If we accept that the amount of carbon taken
up by deciduous trees in temperature countries like the UK will remain the same each year regardless of the
growing season, carbon dioxide levels will rise more quickly than was previously expected. The only way to
change this will be to increase the capacity of trees to absorb carbon.
Plants that aren’t limited by the amount of nitrogen available may be able to grow for longer in the warming
climate. These are the trees which can take nitrogen from the air, such as alder. But these species will still lose
their leaves at roughly the same time as always, thanks to less daylight and colder temperatures.
But on the upside, with the prospect of some trees losing their leaves earlier and others losing them at the
time they do now, there might be the prospect of prolonged autumnal colours – and more time for us to kick
through the leaves.
Question 39. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Autumn and Growing Seasons B. Growing Season in the UK
C. Earlier Autumn Colours D. Nitrogen From the Air
Question 40. According to the passage, carbon and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere _______.
A. has been decreasing in the world
B. cannot be taken up more by temperate deciduous trees
C. will rise more slowly than was previously expected
D. cannot be absorbed by increasing the capacity of trees
Question 41. The word they in paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A. leaves B. growing seasons C. trees D. six days
Question 42. The word prospect in paragraph 4 mostly means _______.
A. revolution B. responsibility C. relation D. possibility
Question 43. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Tree growing seasons may be 22 to 34 days longer.
B. Plants may grow for longer in the warming climate.
C. Alder will never lose their leaves. D. Some trees will lose leaves at the time they do now.
Read the following passage and indicate the answer to each of the question.
The new technology uses 12 dedicated tracking cameras mounted underneath the roof of the stadium to
track the ball and up to 29 data points of each individual player, 50 times per second, calculating their exact
position on the pitch. The 29 collected data points include all limbs and extremities that are relevant for making
offside calls.
Al Rihla, adidas’ official match ball for Qatar 2022™, will provide a further vital element for the detection of
tight offside incidents as an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor will be placed inside the ball. This sensor,
positioned in the centre of the ball, sends ball data to the video operation room 500 times per second, allowing a
very precise detection of the kick point.
By combining the limb- and ball-tracking data and applying artificial intelligence, the new technology
provides an automated offside alert to the video match officials inside the video operation room whenever the
ball is received by an attacker who was in an offside position at the moment the ball was played by a team-mate.
Before informing the on-field referee, the video match officials validate the proposed decision by manually
checking the automatically selected kick point and the automatically created offside line, which is based on the
calculated positions of the players’ limbs. This process happens within a few seconds and means that offside
decisions can be made faster and more accurately.
After the decision has been confirmed by the referee on the pitch, the exact same positional data points that
were used to make the decision are then generated into a 3D animation that perfectly details the position of the
players’ limbs at the moment the ball was played. This 3D animation, which will always show the best possible
perspectives for an offside situation, will then be shown on the giant screens in the stadium and will also be
made available to FIFA’s broadcast partners to inform all spectators in the clearest possible way.
Question 44. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. How Semi-automated Offside Technology Work? B. Official Match Ball for Qatar 2022™
C. An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Sensor D. What 3D animation shows spectators
Question 45. The word detection in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. funeral B. disclosure C. material D. reference
Question 46. According to paragraph 3, the kick point and offside line ______.
A. send offside alert to the video match officials B. are decided by an attacker
C. are selected and created automatically D. make the match faster and more accurately
Question 47. The word artificial in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. strong-willed B. dewy-eyed C. man-made D. open-minded
Question 48. The word which in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. video match officials B. decision C. kick point D. offside line
Question 49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The new technology uses 29 dedicated tracking cameras.
B. The sensor sends ball data to the video operation room 500 times per second.
C. The process of deciding offside takes just a few second.
D. A 3D animation can perfectly details the position of the players’ limbs.
Question 50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Collected data of the new technology doesn’t include limbs and extremities.
B. The new technology, which make the match equal and precise, is new and modern.
C. The new technology may remove manual work of video match officials.
D. FIFA’s broadcast partners’ spectators can decide an offside situation.
