Read the following passage about the rise of Airbnb and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 25.
In 2007, design graduates, Joe Gebbie and Brian Chesky, were struggling to pay the rent for their San Francisco
apartment. Hearing that there was a conference coming to town and there were no hotel rooms available, they created the
website airbedandbreakfast.com where they advertised three airbeds in their home at $80 each a night, breakfast included.
Only six days later, they had three guests sleeping on their floor. They knew immediately that this was the start of
something big.
Being budding entrepreneurs, the pair decided to take their idea further. They enlisted Gebbie’s former flatmate,
Nathan Blecharczyk, a computer science graduate, to develop their website. Their idea was to target conferences and
festivals across the USA, getting local people to list their rooms and travelers to book them. The new website was
completed just in time for the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, at which Barack Obama was due to
speak in front of 80,000 people. Within a week, they had 800 listings, an achievement which dealt in part with the
shortage of hotel rooms, but did not solve their financial problems, as the site was not making any money.
 The team decided that they would have to handle payment for the bookings. They began to charge three per cent to
the host and between six and twelve per cent to the traveler, depending on the price of the booking. Meanwhile, investors
had started showing interest in the company. By April 2009, when larger investments began to arrive, they moved the
company out of their flat into a new state-of-the-art office and hired more staff.
Since then Airbnb has gone from strength to strength. The company now has over 1:5 million listings in 34,000
cities in 190 countries, and is rumoured to be worth around $20 billion.

Read the following passage about powering the future and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 40.
As we continue to face the impacts of climate change, having a green environment has become increasingly
important to the future of our society. To achieve this, the world is shifting towards green energy, and two particular types
of energy at the centre of this movement are solar power and wind power.
[I] This highly efficient form of energy produces zero emissions, so it can significantly reduce our carbon
footprint. [II]Moreover, solar panels are perfect for installation on a small scale, such as in private homes, since they
require very little maintenance and have a long lifespan. [III] However, the ability to generate solar power depends on the
time of day and weather conditions. This means that solar panels are often less useful if they are installed in places where
sunny weather is not typical. [IV]
Wind power, on the other hand, involves converting the energy of the wind into electricity using large turbines. Wind
power doesn’t produce any greenhouse gases, but it is not ideal for private use since turbines require consistent care.
However, wind farms can be installed on a large scale and are able to produce electricity continuously regardless of the
time of day. This means that if there were more investments in wind power, it could be a viable way to provide energy for
major cities and even for whole regions.
Wind and solar power contribute significantly to a green environment by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, helping
us cut down on pollution and slow climate change. Additionally, using renewable energy sources helps promote spending
on sustainable development by creating new career opportunities in the green energy sector.
For now, the biggest challenge of adopting green energy is the costs associated with installation and infrastructure, but
the benefits unquestionably outweigh the downsides. If we want to stop the climate crisis and create a better and
more sustainable future, green energy sources will undoubtedly be the key.
Question 31: Where in paragraph 2 does the following sentence best fit?
Solar power is all about harnessing the energy of the sun by using solar panels to convert sunlight into usable
electricity.
A. [II] B. [I] C. [IV] D. [III]

C. They aren’t well suited to personal use. D. They create fewer emissions.
Question 34: The word viable in paragraph 3 OPPOSITE in meaning to ____.
A. possible B. practicable C. unworkable D. feasible
Question 35: According to paragraph 4, what is NOT mentioned regarding wind and solar power?
A. They encourage investment in green energy. B. They make us reliant on green energy.
C. They help combat climate change. D. They create new jobs for people.

A. Wind and solar power make a considerable contribution to a green environment, and switching to green energy
sources promotes investment in sustainable development.
B. Using renewable energy sources can boost sustainable development and create ecosystem resiliency.
C. Switching to renewable energy sources like wind and solar power can enhance energy independence and

climate crisis and creating a better and more sustainable future.
C. Green energy is another important step in stopping the climate crisis and creating a better and sustainable
future.
D. The key to tackling the climate crisis is to end our reliance on energy generated from fossil fuels and take
advantage of renewable energy.
Question 39: What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the text?
A. There exists little infrastructure for renewable energy at present.
B. Green energy costs are rising.
C. The downsides of green energy could soon outweigh the benefits.
D. Green energy will enhance green living.

cornerstone of the energy transition, and no type of energy is better than solar and wind power.
B. In the context of climate change, the energy transition with two particular types of energy at the centre of this
movement, namely solar power and wind power, will definitely address the need for a better and more sustainable future.
C. In response to climate change, the green transition is adopted to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change,
