Whatever happened to the familiar scene from the past of children playing “tag” in the streets

is fading fast today, as the descendants of the same children are deserting the cul-de-sac in favor

of a screen. Several organizations are attempting to reverse this trend, with varying degrees of
success.
One of the organizations is Play England, which aims to improve opportunities for children to
play outside. A leading figure in the campaign is 50-year-old Adrian Voce, who has happy
childhood memories of days spent in the “Big Woods” near his house with his older brothers. “We
were given a packed lunch and told not to talk to strangers. I can remember vividly wandering in
and out of each other’s houses.” he says.
However, it is not the children that members of Play England have to convince. In many cases,
the parents themselves block their efforts, if unwittingly, by their lack of cooperation. A survey
in 2004 found that 85% of adults agreed that it was important for children to be able to play safely
in the road or street where they live. However, a high proportion of them were not prepared to park
their cars an extra 50 meters away to make the street safer.
Society today has changed to such an extent that children do not feel safe on the streets and their
parents no longer feel comfortable about letting them play there. It is not only the appeal of
computers and video games that has driven children inside but also the presence of traffic, crime,
and violent gangs of young people. However, thanks to efforts of people like Adrian Voce, it may
not be too late to turn back the clock.

Question 19: what is the main idea of the passage?

A. British children are playing safely in the streets thanks to organizations like Play England.
B. Children are unable to play games outside without parents’ support in Great Britain.
C. British children are no longer playing outdoors because of their interest in computers.
D. Efforts have been made to encourage British children to play in the streets like their parents.

Question 20: What is the word “figure” in paragraph 2 closest in meaning to?
B. person C. case D. picture
A. number
Question 21: What does the word “their” in paragraph 3 refer to?
B. cases C. members D. parents
A. children

Question 22: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as reasons why children don’t play in
the streets?
B. young people’s violence
A. lack of traffic management crews

Question 23: The writer of the passage believes that _____.
A. more should be done by the police to reduce increasing street crime.
B. there’s some hope that children will be able to play outside again.
C. new technology is fully responsible for stealing children’s attention.
D. parents in Britain today seem to be over-protective of their children.

Leading figures in the business world dumping icy water over themselves, eye-catching photos
(24) _____ on the internet of people lying horizontally for no good reason. Looking at some of the
things online today, it seems these crazes are becoming more and more popular. And they’re all
members.
First used by biologist Richard Dawkins in the 1970s, the word “meme” described the transmission
of ideas from person to person. (25) _____ the meaning has evolved in the social media: a
dictionary recently defined meme as “an image or video that is spread rapidly by internet users.”
Transmission is so fast that a joke shared between friends can become a global phenomenon in a
matter of hours.
Typical memes are easy to understand and quick to pass on. Those (26) _____ share a meme feel
a sense of belonging: they are “in” on an inside joke. Having seen the potential of the meme,
marketing executives were keen to use this powerful tool. The meme has also proved to be an
amazing way to generate donations for charities and NGOs – in one case producing a tenfold
increase in the charity’s previous annual income. Opinions on this are sharply divided. Supporters
say it not only raises money for a (27) _____ cause but also encourages people to donate more in
general.
Opponents, however, criticize the way celebrities exploit these phenomena for their own interests:
they say many people taking part are engaged more by the meme than by the real issue; they also
feel the income one charity receives may be out of proportion with the relative (28) ____ of a given
disease, or reduce donation to other causes not in the public eye.

B. taken C. printed D. posted

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.

Who isn't tempted by adverts for cheap flights by low-cost airlines? It seems like the ideal solution
to broaden your horizons and go out to see something of the world. But now governments are
becoming increasingly concerned about the impact of air travel on the environment, and politicians
are under pressure from environmental groups to stop the growth in low-cost flights.
Air travel is the fastest-growing source of greenhouse gases, and flights are on course to double
by 2020 and triple by 2030. Emissions from aircraft, principally carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides,
and water vapor, contribute in part to the effect of global warming. If aviation continues expanding
at the same rate as it has done in previous years, it will become the main source of CO2 emissions
by the middle of the century.
Plans to halt the increase in air travel include introducing a tax on jet fuel, selling permits to
airlines to cover their output of carbon dioxide, and ceasing the expansion of existing airports.
Airline companies will be forced to raise their prices to cover these costs, making air travel much
more expensive for passengers. It looks like the days of a cheap weekend break in Venice could
be over.
In response to these proposals, airlines insist that the impact of aviation on the environment is
not sufficiently understood to justify introducing such drastic measures. A representative from the
environmental affairs department of British Airways admitted that air travel could account for
nearly half of the total CO2 emissions by 2050, but alleged that the proposals would limit society’s
choice on how the gases should be reduced. He said society might prefer to continue to allow
flights to grow and reduce emissions elsewhere, such as in power generators or road transport.
The European Parliament is at present debating the environmental impact of air travel, and
politicians are drawing up plans for a scheme to cover all flights arriving at or departing from all
airports in the European Union. However, the scheme is likely to be limited in the early years to
flights within Europe in order to avoid legal actions from the United States and other countries.
As the years go by, it is becoming clear that it is not only governments who will be paying the
price of reducing global warming. In the future, individuals will be encouraged to either stay at
home or contribute to the bill.
