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.
The garden city was largely the invention of the British social visionary Ebenezer Howard (1850-
1928). After emigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a
farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871.
In those pre-skyscraper days, it was nicknamed "the Garden City", almost certainly the source of Howard's
name for his proposed towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his concept in the 1880s and
1890s, drawing on ideas that were circulating at the time, but creating a unique combination of proposals.
The nineteenth-century slum city was in many ways a horrific-place; but it offered economic and social
opportunities, lights and crowds. At the same time, the British countryside - now too often seen in a
sentimental glow - was in fact equally unprepossessing: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered
from agricultural depression and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor adequate social life.
Howard's idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city.
Howard's idea was that a group of people should establish a company, borrowing money to establish a
garden city in the countryside, far enough from existing cities to ensure that the land was bought at the
bottom price. They should get agreement from leading industrialists to move their factories there from the
congested cities; their workers would move too, and would build their own houses.
Garden cities would follow the same basic blueprint, with a high proportion of green spaces, together
with a central public open space, radial avenues, and peripheral industries. They would be surrounded by
a much larger area of permanent green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely farms,
but institutions like reformatories and convalescent homes, that could benefit from a rural location. As
more and more people moved out, the garden city would reach its planned limit – Howard suggested
32,000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus, over time, there would develop
a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a
wide range of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation
system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.

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.
Sylvia Earle is an underwater explorer and marine biologist who was born in the USA in 1935. She
became interested in the world's oceans from an early age. As a child, she liked to stand on the beach for
hours and look at the sea, wondering what it must be like under the surface. When she was 16, she finally
got a chance to make her first dive. It was this dive that inspired her to become an underwater explorer.
Since then, she has spent more than 6,500 hours under water, and has led more than seventy expeditions
worldwide. She has also made the deepest dive ever, reaching a record-breaking depth of 381 meters.
In 1970, she became famous around the world when she became the captain of the first all-female team
to live under water. The team spent two weeks in an underwater "house". The research they carried out
showed the damage that pollution was causing to marine life, and especially to coral reefs. Since then she
has written several books and magazine articles in which she suggests ways of reducing the damage that
is being done to the world's oceans. One way, she believes, is to rely on fish farms for seafood, and reduce
the amount of fishing that is done out at sea.
(Adapted from Workbook Complete IELTS by Rawdon Wyatt)
