Read the following passage about a new kind of city, 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 22. 

Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, has a population of around 1.8 million. Its  growing economy and population have led to traffic problems, (18) ________. 

To solve this, a new city called Masdar is being built on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi. Covering 6  km², (19) ________. It gets all its electricity from solar power. A wall blocks desert wind, and narrow  streets create shade and airflow, making the city about 10°C cooler than Abu Dhabi. 

(20) ________. Instead, people rely on public transport, including underground rail and light-rail  systems that connect Masdar to Abu Dhabi and the airport. A special transport system called Personal  Rapid Transit (PRT) was also planned, featuring 3,000 driverless, solar-powered podcars. (21) ________.  However, only 13 PRTs are now in use, as newer electric vehicle technology is more practical. Today,  residents use clean-energy electric buses and cars alongside the PRT system. 

Masdar was originally expected to cost $24 billion, but the 2008-2009 financial crisis reduced the  budget. (22) ________. Still, construction continues, and Masdar is expected to be complete before 2030.  When it is finished, there could be up to 50,000 residents and 40,000 daily commuters. With companies  like Siemens opening offices there, planners are confident Masdar's eco-friendly design will prove worth  the cost.

Read the following passage about the mental impact of the weather 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. 

Have you ever noticed that your mood changes with the weather? There's a scientific reason for this. The amount of sunlight you get can affect your brain. Sunlight helps the brain produce a chemical called serotonin, which makes you feel happy and calm. On dark or rainy days, your body makes less serotonin,  so you might feel tired, sad, or less energetic. 

The weather also affects our circadian rhythms, the internal body clock that controls sleep patterns.  Less daylight can disrupt these rhythms, leading to poor sleep and mental health. In addition, sunlight  helps the body produce vitamin D, which is essential for brain health. When there is little sunlight, like  in winter, people may not get enough of this vitamin, and this can worsen symptoms of depression.  On dark days, your body produces more melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep. Higher melatonin  levels can make you feel drowsy and less motivated, reducing your desire to be active or social. 

Some people are especially affected by seasonal changes. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a  type of depression that occurs during particular times of the year, usually in winter. Symptoms include  low mood, exhaustion, sleep problems, and loss of appetite. On the other hand, very hot weather can also  have a negative effect, increasing stress and triggering manic episodes in people with certain mental health  conditions. 

To manage these effects, experts recommend regular physical activity, even during bad weather.  Outdoor time and movement can help boost energy and improve your mood. Being aware of how weather  affects mental health can help you take positive steps to feel better throughout the year.

Read the following passage about protecting endangered species 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. 

Scientists think there are almost nine million animal species in the world, but most have not been  discovered yet. Because of this, it's hard to know how many are dying out. However, experts believe  that between 900 and 9,000 species could disappear each year. While this sounds alarming, not all species  are doomed—some have been brought back from near extinction with human help. 

Animals are in danger for many reasons, such as hunting and habitat destruction. One example is  the gray whale, which was almost hunted to extinction. In the 1940s, there were fewer than 2,000 left. [I] Thanks to protection laws, the population has grown to over 23,000. Other animals, such as lemurs and  orangutans, still face serious danger due to deforestation and expanding human populations. 

When a population falls to such low numbers, its long-term survival is at risk. This is because  animals thrive by being diverse, and when they breed from such a tiny group, their young may be too  weak to survive. The Arabian gazelle was once in trouble, but its numbers increased again thanks to  protection efforts that also helped improve its gene pool. [II] 

It is important that protection efforts also focus on protecting entire ecosystems and food chains.  The Amur tiger, native to Russia, northern China, and Mongolia and once hunted to just 40 animals in the  1940s, was the first tiger in the world to be given full protection. [III] What helped the Amur tiger  population recover so rapidly was the restriction of hunting other animals. These included bears and deer  that were its natural prey. 

Sometimes, helping animals helps us in other ways. In the 1960s, whales were protected. Scientists  later discovered that whale waste helps feed phytoplankton—tiny ocean plants that absorb carbon  dioxide. Fewer whales led to fewer phytoplankton and may have worsened climate change. Protecting  whales, therefore, can support both biodiversity and the climate. [IV] Another potential benefit comes  from ecotourism, which brings money to local communities while protecting the environment. In Costa  Rica, it was so successful that it created many jobs, such as tour guides, and led to the building of national  parks. Local businesses—from craftspeople to restaurateurs—can also benefit.
