Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or course
tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they work out
which one is the best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take action if
something goes wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth. This
means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend
the reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealise the idea of treating everyone
equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first names. This
concern with equality means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are
even ready to joke about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a consequence,
some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study. Australian
notions of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and relationships are only
discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such information, they may resent someone
actually asking them unless the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is considered very
impolite to ask someone what they earn.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
We are a planet of seven billion people, and this number is growing by about 370,000 people every day.
This is putting a huge strain on the planet's natural resources. For many governments and
environmental organizations, the race is on to drastically reduce our consumption of resources before
they run out.
Water is one of our most precious resources. Our quality of life, as well as life itself, depends on the
availability of clean, fresh water. It is the most widely used resource in industry, and plays a major role
in energy production. Although 70 percent of the world is covered in water, only 2.5 percent of that is
fresh water, and less than one percent of that freshwater is readily available to us. Yet we
often overestimate how much water we have, and reduce it further through pollution or inefficient use.
Some 92 percent of all fresh water used annually is dedicated to growing plants and raising animals for
food. This means that if water runs out, our food supply might follow. In India, it is estimated that
future water shortages could reduce grain harvests by 25%. In a country where the population exceeds
1.2 billion people and is growing rapidly every year, this is a huge concern. India, like many developing
countries, is already struggling to provide for its population. While most people in developed countries
can get water at the turn of a tap, nearly four billion people elsewhere lack access to safe water,
according to United Nations Development Report.
Rain forests are another endangered-resource. While rain forests are critically important to
humanity, they are rapidly being destroyed by human activities. The biggest cause of deforestation is
conversion of forest land for agriculture. Often called the "Lungs of the Planet”, rain forests once
covered 14 percent of the Earth's land surface, but this has shrunk to only six percent. Every second, an
area of rainforest, the size of a football field, is destroyed at this rate. Rain forests will possibly
disappear completely in less than 40 years.
