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.
Arriving in Freiburg by train, you might notice the solar panelled towers of the station building. These solar
panels are everywhere; on the football stadium, hotels, the conference centre, and even a factory. With 1,800
hours of sunshine per year, solar power is the main source of energy in Freiburg, making it one of the most
ecologically friendly cities in the world. In fact, some say that Freiburg generates nearly as much solar power as
the whole of the UK.
In Freiburg it all began in the 1970s, when local people were strongly against plans for a nuclear power station
nearby. The historic centre has been car-free since 1973, with over 400 km of cycle paths! However, it is the
modern residential districts on the outskirts which most interest environmentalists. In the area called Rieselfeld,
residents live in small blocks of south-facing flats called ‘passive houses’. The design of these houses keeps them
warm or cool, without needing central heating or air conditioning at all. The houses cost around 10% more to
build, but over many years they cut energy bills and energy loss by 90%. Vauban is another quiet area, with solar
panels everywhere and a large number of passive houses. It’s a safe, clean area. It’s busy, but with people and
bicycles inste ad of vehicles. Officially, only one person in four has a car and it costs around 18,000 euros a year
to keep one outside town, in a 'solargarage'.
In Freiburg, being green is part of the economy, and local people buy shares in different green projects, for
example the solar football stadium. Not surprisingly, this remarkable eco-city has won many awards and other
German cities are now competing to become more eco-friendly. So why aren't more countries around the world
doing the same?
(Adapted from Gateway by Annie Cornford and Frances Watkins)

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.
Every day we face challenges at school, work or in our personal lives, and we need to develop the skills to
deal with them. Computer skills, for example, are vital for most activities we carry out in our daily lives as well
as helping you with studying. When we are young, we are able to learn basic social skills but there are other
important skills that can be more challenging to acquire. Surprisingly, video games can often help us to master
these.
For example, there are many video games which can help us to develop problem-solving skills. Some games
help develop patience and perseverance skills by continuing to increase the level of difficulty. They constantly
place obstacles in your path until you reach the solution. As a result of playing these games, players can develop
confidence, as being able to overcome the obstacles gives you a real sense of achievement. Patience, perseverance
and overcoming difficulties are three essential skills in everyday life.
As humans we often learn through mistakes, however some mistakes would be best avoided. Video games can
expose you to making decisions in the virtual world by allowing you to choose your characters' actions and then
showing you the results of these actions. This may help you make more informed choices in the real world.
^However beneficial these games may be, there are things to remember. Too much screen time can isolate you
from the real world and if you play multi-player games online, then you need to be sure who you are playing with.
It's also vital to make sure that you are not running up a huge bill in games that you pay for online.
Links between schools and video games developers have resulted in more games focused on developing life
skills. The not-for-profit organisation, Makerspace, has developed an education programme based around games
in conjunction with Minecraft. The programme claims that 30 minutes of video play in the classroom can improve
planning skills, memory and motor skills. As well as developing life skills, having excellent computer skills could
also help you with a future career. So, play on and learn two valuable lessons at the same time.
