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 23 to 30.
Animals are primed to be wary through natural selection rather than scary television shows, but like
humans, they often make mistakes when watching out for threats.
Identifying stealthy predators is already a difficult task. From the perspective of a songbird, a
harmless crow flying overhead may look similar to a raptor. But predator identification is made more
challenging by the fact that prey animals often juggle multiple activities like foraging, keeping an eye on
competitors and courting mates, all at the same time.
This can be made easier by working as a group. Members of a school of fish, flock of birds or herd of
antelope can share the task of watching out for predators. When an animal detects a predator, they share this
information with other group members directly, by producing a warning, or inadvertently, by preparing to
flee. The group as whole can then respond by fleeing, hiding or adopting a defensive position.
But this information is not always reliable. When predators are harder to identify, perhaps because they
are well camouflaged, an animal may be more likely to mistake unrelated sounds or movements for a
predator. Research found that bumblebees were more likely to produce false alarms having previously been
exposed to highly camouflaged goldenrod crab spiders than bees that were unaccustomed to them.
Some species are instead simply more vulnerable to predators than others. This can be because they are
not fast enough to escape a close encounter or not equipped to fight a predator off. For these species, ignoring
a true alarm is more likely to result in death, so it may be beneficial to follow a "better-safe-than-sorry"
principle and pay the cost of being occasionally wrong. Willow tits produce alarm calls in response to most
large aerial objects including planes and crows. This is because they are typically hunted in ambush attacks
in which they are unlikely to escape. So the costs of alarm calling at a few planes becomes dwarfed by the
threat of being killed in an attack.

Read the following passage about green living and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
 [I] Green living, often referred to as sustainable living, encourages individuals to adopt environmentally
friendly practices in their daily lives. [II] This lifestyle includes reducing waste, conserving natural
resources, and promoting eco-friendly habits, which collectively help to minimize the negative impact on the
environment (Davies & Mulligan, 2017). [III] Although green living requires effort and adjustment, its
benefits for the planet and future generations are substantial. [IV]
One of the fundamental aspects of green living is waste reduction. This can be achieved through
practices like recycling, composting, and reducing single-use plastics. According to a report by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), recycling and composting can significantly decrease the amount of
waste sent to landfills, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollution (EPA, 2021).
Additionally, adopting reusable items such as water bottles and shopping bags minimizes reliance on plastic,
which is crucial for protecting ecosystems and wildlife.
Another key component of green living is energy conservation. Simple changes, like switching to LED
light bulbs and using public transportation, can reduce an individual's carbon footprint. A study by the
International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that energy efficiency improvements, if widely implemented,
could decrease global energy demand by up to 40% by 2050 (IEA, 2019). By conserving energy, individuals
not only lower their utility bills but also contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions, which is essential
for mitigating climate change.
Green living also involves making conscious choices about the products we consume. This includes
opting for sustainably sourced goods, supporting local businesses, and choosing organic produce. Sustainable
agriculture practices reduce the need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers, which can harm both the soil and
water sources (Smith & Taylor, 2020). By making informed purchases, consumers can support eco-
friendly industries and help create a demand for greener alternatives.
(Adapted from The Impact of Green Living by Davies, Mulligan)

A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 32. The phrase carbon footprint in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by _______ .
A. environmental awareness B. carbon emissions
C. personal waste D. air quality
Question 33. The word their in paragraph 3 refers to _______ .
A. individuals B. LED light bulbs C. utility bills D. carbon emissions
Question 34. According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT a way to reduce waste?

C. Adopting single-use items D. Using reusable shopping bags
Question 35. Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 3?
A. Energy conservation is crucial for green living, reducing carbon emissions, air pollution, and improving
energy efficiency.
B. Energy conservation is vital for green living, helping to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate
change.
C. Energy conservation is essential for green living, helping to reduce emissions and energy consumption.
D. Energy conservation helps reduce carbon emissions and mitigate climate change, but it also involves
recycling and using renewable resources.
Question 36. The word mitigating in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______ .
A. worsening B. reducing C. increasing D. ignoring
Question 37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Single-use plastics are preferred for green living practices.
B. Supporting local businesses can be a part of sustainable consumption.
C. Recycling increases the amount of waste in landfills.
D. Green living does not impact the carbon footprint.
Question 38. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. When consumers buy products thoughtfully, they can encourage industries to adopt environmentally
friendly practices and increase the need for more sustainable options.
B. Consumers can make eco-friendly choices by buying products that support industries focused on reducing
waste and pollution.
C. By supporting eco-friendly industries, consumers help to increase the production of greener alternatives.
D. When consumers choose sustainably sourced goods, they can help the environment by reducing the need
for chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
Question 39. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Green living practices are only effective if implemented on a global scale.
B. Recycling and composting are the most important aspects of green living.
C. Individuals can have a positive impact on the environment by making small lifestyle changes.
D. Green living is primarily focused on reducing the use of plastic products.
Question 40. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A. Green living promotes reducing waste, conserving energy, and supporting local businesses to create a
more sustainable environment.
B. Green living focuses on reducing energy consumption and using reusable items, with little regard for the
products we consume.
C. Sustainable living encourages individuals to minimize waste, conserve energy, and avoid all forms of
plastic.
D. Green living requires significant lifestyle changes, including the reduction of waste, the use of sustainable
products, and the support of eco-friendly industries.
