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.
Young writer
Charlotte Grainger explains that it was her primary school teacher who first
speculated that she might write a novel. ‘I thought the height of achievement would
be to write a book because it seemed such a challenge and anyway I didn't know what
other teenagers were doing, like being in the Olympics, for example. When I turned 13
I thought: "I may as well attempt this now".’ The novel Charlotte started then is,
remarkably, about to be published. ‘Recently I told my ex-teacher about it and she
was astonished. She told me she'd meant I'd probably do it when I was 30 or 40. That
had never occurred to me - I couldn't understand why I'd be expected to put
something on hold that I had a chance of being good at.’

It's a winter afternoon, in the offices of Charlotte's publishers. Even though I knew that
I was going to interview a 15-year-old girl about her book, I was still momentarily
thrown by seeing a teenager sitting there. The book is a huge achievement: the
narrative is assured and action packed. Nothing about it, except the age of its heroine,
suggests that it was written by a teenager. The public relations representative for the
book is keeping us company in case Charlotte might need defending. But she needs
neither parental nor professional support. She's her own person: spirited, with an alert
face and a lively intelligence, but also a steadiness that prevents any overconfidence
she could be forgiven for feeling.

I ask her about the sophisticated moral issues she raises. I was trying to ask big
questions, not answer them. There aren't many life lessons I can pass on to my
3
readers,' she responds, laughing. 'I don't think my understanding of the world is
limited by my age, but neither do I believe I'm particularly wise. I was just interested
in exploring the theme of taking responsibility.'

She has a theory about teenagers and the way they are 'betrayed' by the fiction that
is specifically aimed at them. There are, she maintains, three types of teenager
depicted in novels. 'There's the outsider who becomes acceptable to society, the naive
teenager who knows nothing about the big wide world, and the awkward teenage
character who isn't socially skilled.' Repeatedly reading about these character types
irritated her. 'What if you're basically fine? There aren't many stories out there about
characters who aren't inadequate in some way. The overall impression teenagers can
get from some writers - and I don't think it's intentional - is teenagers can't possibly
know who they are because they're not experienced enough to know the truth. And
when that is being pushed on them by writers, it can undermine their self-belief'.

Charlotte has always been a keen reader of famous fantasy writers, some of whom
you might suppose she'd be indebted to, but in fact they almost put her off writing
entirely. 'Books by my favourite fantasy writers explore deep things about psychology
and about life. I was asking myself: is this seriously what I have to be doing to write a
good book and am I really up to it?' She does, however, praise the influence of a book
called How Not to Write a Novel. 'It tells you that if the reader starts to guess what's
going to happen, the suspense has probably gone.'

It would be easy to argue that Charlotte's parents both being journalists was the
decisive factor in getting her novel published. Indeed, her father's acquaintance with
someone in publishing was what got her book read initially. She acknowledges her
good fortune, because getting anyone to read a first novel is hard, whatever the age
of the author. 'Every aspiring writer needs support and a lucky break, but after that
you're on your own. Ultimately writers sink or swim according to their talents so I don't
take things for granted,' Charlotte concludes.

Read the following passage about Consumer Electronics Show and mark the
letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of
the following questions.
The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is always a spectacle of innovation.
Imagine walking into the convention halls and being greeted by the next generation of
artificial intelligence not just as digital assistants, but as deeply integrated
companions that anticipate our needs in ways we've only dreamed of. AI could be
woven into every fabric of our daily lives, from personalized health monitoring to
enhancing our creative endeavors.
Virtual and augmented reality have been making leaps and bounds, and by 2025,
we might finally see the lines between the digital and physical worlds blur in
profoundly immersive ways. Envision slipping on a pair of sleek AR glasses and
instantly transforming your surroundings into a customized workspace or an
interactive learning environment. This could make remote interactions feel as natural
as face-to-face conversations.
[I] Sustainability is another trend that's been gaining momentum. [II] Tech
companies are increasingly conscious of their environmental footprint, and at CES
2025, I wouldn't be surprised to see a plethora of eco-friendly gadgets. [III] Imagine

5
homes equipped with smart systems that optimize energy use, reducing waste and
promoting a greener lifestyle without sacrificing comfort or convenience. [IV]
The Internet of Things (loT) is likely to become even more interconnected and
intuitive. Smart homes could evolve into empathetic environments that adjust lighting,
temperature, and ambiance based on our moods or health metrics. Perhaps we'll see
refrigerators that not only keep track of groceries but also suggest recipes to reduce
food waste, or closets that recommend outfits based on the weather forecast and your
calendar.
Transportation technology is on the cusp of a revolution. Electric vehicles are just
the beginning. By 2025, CES might showcase advancements in autonomous driving
systems becoming mainstream, or even personal air transportation like flying cars or
drones. It's thrilling to think about commuting not just on roads but through the skies,
potentially reshaping urban planning and our daily lives.
Biotechnology could also take center stage. Wearables may transition from fitness
trackers to health guardians, capable of monitoring municipal signs with medical-
grade accuracy, predicting health issues before they arise, and seamlessly
communicating with healthcare providers. This integration of tech and wellness
could empower us to lead healthier, more informed lives.
While these are educated speculations based on current trends, the magic of CES
lies in its ability to introduce the unexpected innovations that challenge our
perceptions and expand the boundaries of what's possible. The 2025 show is bound to
unveil something that will make us all stop and marvel.
Question 24: According to the passage, which technological advancement might
make remote interactions feel as natural as face-to-face conversations?
A. Empathetic smart homes
B. Artificial intelligence companions
C. Advanced virtual and augmented reality
D. Autonomous transportation systems
Question 25: The phrase woven into every fabric of our daily lives in paragraph
I could best be replaced by _______.
A. totally separated from all of our regular activities
B. integrated thoroughly throughout our everyday routines
C. hidden away in selected aspects of everyday life
D. entirely neglected in most parts of our day-to-day existence
Question 26: The word conscious in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to
_______ .
A. aware B. mindful C. distressing D. oblivious
Question 27: Where in paragraph 3 does the following sentence best fit?
Think biodegradable wearables or devices powered entirely by renewable
energy sources.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [IV] D. [III]
Question 28: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in
paragraph 6?
A. The fusion of technology with health may enable us to live better and more
knowledgeable lives.
B. Using technology in wellness is unnecessary for remarkably improving ordinary
people's lifestyles.
C. Combining technology and health might completely mystify us about our well-
being.

6

expensive.
