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 31 to 35.
Many people enjoy spending their holidays hiking or climbing in the mountains. Their reasons vary.
Some like being outdoors because it is relaxing; others enjoy the positive effects of exercise and fresh air
on their mental and physical well-being. Some people even choose the challenge of climbing a mountain
summit for the feeling of achievement at the end. Whatever your motivation, it is important to plan and
prepare carefully and spend some time before the trip doing physical training, particularly when you are
planning to go on long hikes at high altitudes.
Mountain trips can bring health challenges such as altitude sickness. This can be mild, where you
might simply develop a headache, but in some cases people need medical attention. It is also important to
take into account sudden changes in weather conditions, which can be very unpredictable. If the
temperature drops below 0°C, you will easily get frostbite. It is advisable to use cream on your hands and
face before your trip, and make sure you wear warm gloves and socks.
Hikers and climbers may also feel unwell because of dehydration, so drinking plenty of water before
and during your trip is one of the most important things to remember. Spending a day hiking or climbing
may be more demanding on your body than you think. You ought to rest well after each trip to help your
muscles recover for the following day.
(Adapted from Solutions 3rd Edition by Tim Falla and Paul A Davies)
Question 31. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. Relaxing Outdoors: Why it’s so Great!
B. Holidays in the Mountains
C. Hikers and Climbers: What Do They Have in Common?
D. Dehydration: How to Prevent it?
Question 32. The word ‘it’ in paragraph 1 refers to _________.
A. hiking B. climbing C. fresh air D. being outdoors

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 36 to 42.
Now I'm as environmentally concerned as the next man, probably more so, in fact, but a spate of new
books urging us to ‘live better, greener lifestyles' and to 'live within nature's limits' leaves me rather cold.
Evidently, it's easy. Buy products that don't exploit other humans, animals or the environment. Don't shop
at the multinational supermarkets, support small shops which sell environmentally friendly products, buy
local produce when you need to, and, while you're about it, just make your own bread, butter, cheese, jam,
keep a milking cow, a few pigs, goats, chickens, beehives, gardens and orchards. Well, what are you
waiting for?
The book A Slice of Organic Life by Sheherazade Goldsmith contains plenty of useful advice, and she
comes across as modest, sincere and well informed. But of lobbying for political change, there is not a
word. According to Goldsmith you can save the planet from your own kitchen - if you have endless time
and plenty of land. When I was reading it on the train, another passenger asked me if he could take a look.
He flicked through it for a moment, and then summed up the problem in seven words: “This is for people
who don't work!”
The media's obsession with beauty, wealth and fame blights every issue it touches, but none more so
than green issues. There is an inherent conflict between the aspirational lifestyle journalism that makes
readers feel better about themselves and sells country-style kitchens to those who can afford them, and
the central demand of environmentalism - that we should consume less. 'None of these changes represents
a sacrifice, Goldsmith tells us. 'Being more conscientious isn't about giving up things.' But it is it, like her,
you own more than one home when others have none. Uncomfortable as this is for both the media and its
advertisers, giving things up is an essential component of going green. A section on ethical shopping in
Goldsmith's book advises us to buy organic, buy seasonal, buy local, buy sustainable, buy recycled. But
it says nothing about buying less. Green consumerism is becoming a pox on the planet. If it merely
swapped the damaging goods we buy for less damaging ones, I would champion it. But two parallel
markets are developing – one for unethical products and one for ethical products, and the expansion of
the second does little to hinder the growth of the first.
But there is another danger with ethical shopping. I have met houseowners who have bought solar
panels and wind turbines before they have done the simple thing and insulated their lofts, partly because
they love gadgets but partly, I suspect, because everyone can then see how conscientious and how rich
they are. We are often told that buying such products encourages us to think more widely about
