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.
In the 1970s, many people became concerned about energy. People had to face up to the fact that they
used too much energy, and energy sources were not going to last forever. One architect, Michael
Reynolds, decided to do something. He set out to design homes that were cheaper to build and more
energy efficient. In addition, he wanted to do something about all the garbage. Finally, he came up with
the idea of “earthships.”
Although it sounds like a boat, an earthship is a house. However, unlike regular houses, earthships are
constructed from garbage and are built using only ten percent of the energy needed to build a typical
house. Moreover, after they are built, earthships use only ten percent of the energy required to heat, light,
and cool a regular home. Although earthships sound unique, they can actually be built to look just like
any other house.

One of the big benefits of earthships is that they are made from recycled materials. The main
construction material of an earthship is used tires that are filled with dirt. The dirt-filled tires are then laid
flat and stacked like bricks. Because the tires are round, there is lots of extra space between the columns
of tires. These spaces are filled with used cardboard. The tires and cardboard form the outside walls of an
earthship. Another benefit of an earthship is that it saves energy and natural resources. For example, an
earthship uses less water. Rain water, which is collected on the roof, is used for drinking and bathing.
All of these features make earthships very environmentally friendly. That’s one of the reasons they have
become popular throughout the world. Earthships have been built in Bolivia, Australia, Mexico, Japan,
Canada, England, Scotland, and all over the US. Maybe in the near future, an earthship will be landing
near you!
(Adapted from Reading Challenge 3 by Casey Malarcher and Andrea Janzen)

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.
Until relatively recently, newspapers were our primary source of daily news. They must now compete,
however, with online news, social media and television in a progressively digital age. The internet is
changing the way people get their news, leaving a dwindling audience willing to pay for their daily paper.

But given that the form first emerged in early-17th century Europe, it’s probably about time the medium
got overhauled. Newspapers have witnessed an extraordinary era of change: from the evolution of
democratic institutions and political parties to the reshaping of whole countries and continents.
By the end of the 19th century, newspapers were using a visual template not unlike those of today,
and had become the source of not only large profits but also unaccountable political and social influence
for their owners – a trend that has continued to the present day. Newspapers prospered in this form for
more than 150 years, and in many countries, daily life would have been inconceivable without access to
one. But in many places, the continuing existence of newspapers is under threat.

Circulation figures for all types of newspapers, local, regional and national, bear out the fact that, in
many Western nations at least, sales of printed newspapers had been falling for many years prior to the
emergence of the internet. What is also beyond question, though, is that the arrival and exponential growth
of the World Wide Web, leading to near-universal coverage, has accelerated this process greatly.
Observing the rapidity and extent of this process around the world provides a fascinating insight into
social change.
We now live in an age where speed and convenience have gained precedence over reliability and
quality in most aspects of our existence. Regarding the former, newspapers only allow readers to get
updated about events some considerable time after they have actually happened, while online users can
access them more or less at the moment at which they occur. Printed newspapers, therefore, provide a less
efficient source of news and, furthermore, do so in a less environmentally-friendly way than the internet,
and at a direct cost to the consumer. Moreover, with news also available on tap through social media,
consumers are continually bombarded from all sides, and therefore may not wish to have each story
explained in great detail, as is the case in much of the printed media. Social media sites have also proven
to be one of the most effective means of getting information out rapidly, and on a huge scale: news can

now be tweeted before the mainstream media have even started their coverage.
(Adapted from Exam Booster Advanced by Carole Allsop, Mark Little and Anne Robinson)

A. Paper talks – The history of the newspaper.
