Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30. 

In recent years, the usage of mobile phones among children has surged, reflecting a broader trend in society. According to a 2023 report by the Pew Research Center, nearly 60% of children aged 11 in the United States own a smartphone, and this number rises significantly to over 85% by the age of 14. For many children, mobile phones have become essential tools for entertainment, accessing educational resources, and staying connected with friends and family. During the COVID-19 pandemic, mobile devices became crucial for remote learning, allowing students to attend online classes and continue their studies. In this context, smartphones are increasingly seen as valuable for both social interaction and education.

Studies show that while screen time among children aged 8-12 has increased to an average of 4 hours daily—and over 8 hours for teenagers—time spent on physical exercise and outdoor activities has decreased. Health professionals warn that excessive screen time can lead to problems such as eye strain, disrupted sleep patterns, and even heightened levels of anxiety. Additionally, children spending too much time on screens may miss out on outdoor activities which are essential for their growth.

In response to these challenges, some countries have introduced measures to regulate screen time for children. In France, mobile phones are banned during school hours for students under 15, a policy aimed at encouraging face-to-face social interactions. In South Korea, the government has implemented "smart hours", which limit screen time for children at night to support healthier sleep habits.

When managed responsibly, mobile phones offer benefits. Many parents now use parental control apps to monitor screen time, helping children enjoy technology while fostering a balanced lifestyle. These apps allow parents to set limits on usage and restrict access to inappropriate content, ensuring a safer digital experience for children. By encouraging healthy habits, parents can help children develop a positive relationship with technology, using it as a tool for learning and growth rather than a distraction.

A. for entertainment purposes

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40. 

[I] In recent years, plastic pollution in the ocean has emerged as a severe environmental issue. [II] Each year, over eight million tons of plastic waste end up in our oceans, impacting marine life and ecosystems worldwide. [III] Single-use plastic items, such as bottles, bags, and packaging, are among the main culprits, as they break down into tiny particles known as microplastics. [IV]

One major consequence of ocean plastic pollution is its impact on marine animals. Sea creatures, including fish, turtles, and seabirds, often mistake plastic for food, leading to severe health problems or even death. Ingested plastic can block digestive tracts, reduce feeding, and ultimately cause starvation. Additionally, animals can become entangled in larger plastic debris like fishing nets and plastic rings, which restrict their movement and may lead to injuries or drowning. This not only affects individual animals but can also disrupt entire marine food chains and ecosystems.

Plastic pollution also has indirect effects on human health and economies. As fish and other marine animals ingest microplastics, these tiny particles move up the food chain and eventually reach humans. Consuming seafood contaminated with microplastics poses potential health risks, as harmful chemicals can accumulate in our bodies. Furthermore, polluted beaches and coastlines can deter tourism, impacting local economies that rely on these industries for jobs and income. Cleanup efforts are costly and challenging, often requiring substantial resources and funding.

To address ocean plastic pollution, governments, organizations, and individuals must work together. Policies such as banning single-use plastics, promoting recycling, and encouraging sustainable alternatives can help reduce the amount of plastic waste entering the ocean. Many individuals and organizations are already participating in beach cleanups and spreading awareness about the issue. By making conscious choices and taking responsibility, we can mitigate the impacts of plastic pollution and protect our oceans for future generations.

Question 31. Where in paragraph I does the following sentence best fit? 

These microplastics are now found in all ocean depths, from surface waters to the seafloor, posing a serious threat to marine biodiversity.

A. [I]

B. [IV]

C. Polluted coastlines harm tourism and local economies.

D. Plastic pollution leads to increased cleanup costs for coastal areas.

B. Plastic pollution leads to economic costs and harms human health through seafood.

C. Contaminated seafood poses health risks and impacts tourism in coastal regions.

D. Plastic pollution harms human health, affects tourism, and requires costly cleanup efforts.

Question 40. Which of the following best summarises the passage?

A. Ocean plastic pollution endangers marine species and impacts human health through contaminated seafood, with cleanup efforts essential to managing the effects.

B. Plastic waste in oceans poses risks to marine animals, damages tourism, and leads to costly cleanup efforts, which can be addressed by increased awareness and individual action.

C. Plastic pollution in oceans harms marine life and has indirect impacts on human health and local economies, requiring joint efforts to reduce single-use plastics and promote sustainable practices.

D. Ocean plastic pollution affects both marine life and coastal communities; individual actions, like reducing single-use plastics, can help address the problem.
