Read the following passage about predictions about future cities and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to

A group of scientists recently completed a study that aimed to tell us what our lives will be like fifty
years from now. Here are a few ideas based on their predictions to help you imagine the future.
One aspect of the future that they focused on was what future cities will look like. Fifty years from
now, populations in all countries will have grown to such an extent that cities will themselves have to
undergo a radical change to cater for these growing population numbers. Cities, as they are today, (18)
. Although many have spoken about population explosions in cities and the need to get people
out of city centres, this may not be the best solution to the problem.
The people living in these high-rise buildings will not have to leave the building to go to work, the
gym or the supermarket. They will live, work, shop and entertain themselves in the same building without
having to travel from one place to another. (19) !
Making a decision to live on the outskirts of the city, (20) . They will work or study from
home. Technology that exists today has already made this possible, but, by that time, it will be done by a
large majority of individuals. Think of all the possible benefits of working or studying from home! For
one, you will not have to commute to work or to school every day. Furthermore, you will be able to choose
a work or study schedule that suits your own personal needs. Some have spoken about virtual reality
images of ourselves (21) .
One thing is for sure. The future holds many surprises for us. We can make as many predictions as
we like, but no one really knows what lies ahead. What we need to keep in mind is that (22) .

Read the following passage about camera traps and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Technology is being used more and more in video and photography. For example, wildlife
photographers sometimes use camera traps. When a photographer uses a camera trap, the camera is
hidden-for example, in a tree or on the ground - so the animals cannot see it. When an animal moves near
the camera, the camera is turned on and it takes a photo or a short video. Sometimes, the camera is
attached to an animal so it can take a video as the animal moves. The video then helps us to learn much
more about the animal's life.
Photo engineers at National Geographic design camera traps to help photographers hide cameras - for
example, in birds' nests or on the ocean floor. They've designed camera traps for National Geographic
photographers like Steve Winter, who takes photos of wild animals such as tigers, leopards, jaguars, and
bears. The animal looks straight into the camera. Steve thinks that if people see good photos of wild
animals, they'll understand more about the animals and want to safeguard them.
Photo engineers have to design cameras that will not break when they're being used in places like
jungles or the ocean. Sometimes, photographers use small remote-controlled cars to carry cameras.
Technology is always improving, and it's helping photographers to take amazing photos. Thanks
to the technology of camera traps, we can all see the world in new and interesting ways.

Read the following passage about an endangered language and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Monday 30 December 2013 was a tragic day for the people of the Chickasaw Nation. [I] It was the
day on which a 93-year-old member of the tribe called Emily Johnson Dickerson passed away. [II] She
was the last remaining monolingual speaker of the Chickasaw language. [III] Through her death, the tribe
lost not only a beloved member of their extended family but also a valuable source of knowledge about
their language and culture. [IV]
The Chickasaw Nation is made up of around 57,000 people, most of whom live in the thirteen areas
of Oklahoma, USA. Their land is largely rural, but much of their way of life is modern. Some of the
traditional Chickasaw customs have died out, such as native folk medicine. But others have continued,
like the role of women as the head of the family and the community. The Chickasaw people are determined
that their language should also continue.
The language of the Chickasaws, known as 'Chikashshanompa', has been in existence for well over
three thousand years, but it is now in danger of disappearing. Young Chickasaws sent to government
boarding schools in the past were discouraged from speaking their language and were obliged to learn
English to negotiate with people outside the tribe. This led to the number of native speakers falling. Which
is where the Chickasaw Language Revitalisation Programme comes in.
The aim of the programme is to keep the culture, language and oral traditions of the tribe alive,
and it is using cutting-edge technology to do this. First, there is Chickasaw TV, an online network with
a channel dedicated to learning the Chickasaw language through lessons, songs, games and stories. Then,
there’s a website for children where they can learn more about Chickasaw history, people, culture and
language through interactive games and activities.
According to Joseph Hinson, director of the Department of Chickasaw Language, the Chickasaw are
'a pretty hard-headed, persistent people.' And if history is anything to go by, he isn’t wrong. The fifty-
thousand-year-old indigenous Native American tribe has survived the Conquistadores, numerous wars
with Europeans, the American Civil War, and compulsory removal from their native lands... and they're
still here. One can only hope that the massive effort the tribe is putting into preserving their language
succeeds so that Chikashshanompa is not lost to the world forever.

customs, language programmes, and media platforms despite government policies forcing them to
abandon their language.
