Read the following passage about Solving Climate Challenges with Creativity 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.
Climate change represents one of the greatest challenges of our time, threatening ecosystems and
communities worldwide. Fortunately, a new generation of creative problem-solvers, known as
green innovators, is developing remarkable solutions to address these urgent environmental
issues. These individuals combine scientific knowledge with creative thinking to design
technologies that reduce carbon emissions, conserve natural resources, and promote sustainable
living. Unlike traditional approaches that often prioritize short-term economic gains, these
innovators focus on long-term environmental sustainability.
Many impressive examples of green innovation have emerged in recent years. Solar-powered
devices now capture energy even on cloudy days, while advanced recycling systems transform
plastic waste into valuable construction materials. In agriculture, vertical farming techniques allow
crops to grow in urban environments using 95% less water than conventional methods.
Additionally, innovative transportation solutions include electric vehicles powered by renewable
energy and bicycles made from sustainable bamboo. These creative approaches demonstrate how
human ingenuity can tackle seemingly insurmountable environmental problems.
Despite their promising work, green innovators face significant obstacles. Limited funding remains
a persistent challenge, as investors sometimes hesitate to support projects with longer development
timelines. Government regulations, which vary greatly between countries, can either help or hinder
innovation depending on their implementation. Furthermore, public skepticism about new
technologies occasionally slows adoption rates, even when these solutions prove effective.
The coming decades will likely witness an acceleration of green innovation as climate
concerns intensify. Educational institutions increasingly incorporate sustainability into their
curricula, preparing students to develop the next generation of environmental solutions.
Meanwhile, consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious, creating growing markets
for sustainable products and services. By supporting these creative problem-solvers through
investment, policy changes, and personal choices, we can all contribute to a greener, more
sustainable world.

Read the following passage about the Preserving Heritage in a Changing World 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.
In today's rapidly evolving world, preserving cultural heritage has become increasingly important.
Traditional customs, languages, and practices that have been passed down through generations
face the risk of being forgotten in our modern society. Communities worldwide are recognizing
the vital role of cultural keepers - individuals and organizations dedicated to protecting and
transmitting cultural knowledge to future generations. This delicate balance between preservation
and adaptation represents one of the most significant challenges of our time.
[I] Cultural keepers are walking a tightrope between maintaining authenticity and embracing
change. [II] The digital age presents both opportunities and threats to cultural preservation. While
technology offers new ways to document and share cultural practices, it also contributes to younger
generations becoming disconnected from their roots. [III] Additionally, urbanization and
globalization have led to the gradual disappearance of traditional practices, as people migrate to
cities and adopt modern lifestyles. [IV]
Fortunately, innovative solutions are emerging to address these challenges. Digital archives and
virtual museums are making cultural heritage more accessible than ever before. Many communities
are implementing cultural education programs in schools, ensuring young people maintain
connections with their heritage. Social media platforms have become unexpected allies, allowing
cultural keepers to share traditional knowledge with wider audiences. This integration of modern
tools with traditional practices demonstrates how technology can support rather than hinder
cultural preservation.
The future of cultural preservation lies in finding the right balance between tradition and
innovation. Success stories from around the world show that cultural heritage can thrive when
communities actively participate in its preservation. By combining traditional wisdom with
modern approaches, cultural keepers are ensuring that valuable customs and practices continue to
enrich our global society. The key is to adapt while maintaining the essence of cultural identity,
creating a bridge between past and future generations.
