Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions from 23 to 30.
It wasn't my usual holiday experience: standing on the beach, getting ready to release a baby sea
turtle no bigger than my hand. But that was how I spent my final night in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
During my week there, I had seen other tourists releasing the turtles in the early evening, and as my stay
came to an end, I decided to join in.
Oscar, the organiser, runs Sociedad Ecológica de Occidente - a conservation project that brings
tourists and residents together to save the sea turtles of Puerta Vallarta. These turtles are under threat
from poachers who want their meat and eggs. But Oscar and his volunteers collect the eggs and take
them to protected areas where they are allowed to hatch in safety.
We listened to Oscar's instructions. He told us that the turtles were released as the sun goes down so
the bright lights of the hotels and nightclubs don't stop them finding their way back to the sea. We stood
a few metres from the sea's edge holding our one-day-old turtles carefully in both hands. At a signal
from Oscar, we gently placed them on the sand, stepped back and watched as they crawled slowly into
the sea. Back home, I still think of the tiny baby turtle and wonder where it is now. Did it make it to
the open sea? Is it safe? Oscar Aranda has dedicated his life to saving the sea turtles; I only gave a
few
minutes of my time, but those minutes will stay with me for a lifetime.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions from 31 to 40.
According to the latest figures, the average number of friends people have on social media is
somewhere between 200 and 300. Research suggests that this figure is actually higher for teenagers. But
is this a realistic amount? Is it feasible to maintain meaningful relationships with so many people, in
particular those you may never actually meet in person?
Nowadays, we are just one click away from making new friends on social media. This has led some
people to question just how sincere the friendship is. We're living in a time where we expect things to
happen instantly, so is it really all that surprising that the way we form friendships has adapted to this
trend? Perhaps it shows how social media has made friendships less sincere, reducing them to a series
of meaningless 'adds' and 'likes'.
[I] My most important relationships haven't grown out of a few trivial online exchanges. [II] It's
taken years of shared experiences to develop strong and lasting bonds. [III] And these for me - and I
believe for most other people too - are much more valuable and meaningful. [IV] It's something that
cannot be replicated on social media, no matter how many times you have 'liked' a person's posts.
It has been suggested that technology is ruining our relationships with other people. However, it
seems undeniable that it has now altered people's priorities, and transformed the way that we manage
our friendships in the most fundamental ways. Ultimately, though, it's up to us to decide how real
and meaningful those friendships truly are.
(Adapted from Open World)

some doubt about .
A. the influence of online friends B. the honesty of real friends
C. the quality of friendships D. the authenticity of social media
Question 33. The word them in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. people B. friendships C. things D. friends
Question 34. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?
A. Social media may simplify friendships, turning them into superficial bonds built through ‘adds’ and
‘likes.’
B. Social media might make friendships more genuine, creating connections based primarily on ‘adds’
and ‘likes.’
C. Social media may reduce friendships to insincere connections, with friendships formed through ‘adds’
and ‘likes.
D. Social media has reduced friendships to shallow interactions, often built only through ‘adds’ and
‘likes.’
Question 35. Where in paragraph 3 does the following sentence best fit?
Real friendships, on the other hand, take time to build.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 36. The word ruining in paragraph 4 is OPPOSITE in meaning to .
A. safeguarding B. recognising C. retaining D. damaging
Question 37. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
Ultimately, though, it's up to us to decide how real and meaningful those friendships truly are.
A. In the end, it’s our choice to determine how genuine and valuable those friendships are.
B. Ultimately, we can only hope that those friendships are as genuine and meaningful as possible.
C. At last, friendships would become meaningful and real if we put effort into making them so.
D. In the end, it’s up to our friends to prove how meaningful our connections truly are.

C. Building a close, real-life friendship generally takes a significant amount of time and effort.

lives.

time.

D. The way we establish friendships today accurately reflects the significant influence of social media.
Question 40. Which of the following best summarises the passage?

maintain close relationships despite distance.
