01. Read the passage and answer the questions (i-vi) 5×6=30

The green movement is getting recognition which is a diverse scientific, social, conservation and political
movement for addressing the concerns of environmentalism. The drive is catching on in many pockets of
the world. Today's buzzwords, which include global warming and zero emissions, are causing everyday
people to look for ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Carbon footprint and environmental issues are
effects of human activity on the biophysical environment, most often of which are harmful effects that
cause environmental degradation.

Building an environment-friendly home is a good investment for those who are concerned about their
own health and the well-being of our planet. Based on this trend entire villages or localities, known as
eco-communities or eco-villages are being designed with green initiatives in mind. Several of these eco-
villages are small, self-sufficient communities that live from and for their natural surroundings. Most eco-
villages are built in rural areas where their inhabitants build societies based on cooperation, self-
sufficiency, renewable energies and ecological materials. The growing number of such eco communities
attempt to become the zero-emission neighborhood to save our mother nature.

Most of the eco-villages are traditional or intentional communities to become more socially, culturally,
and/or ecologically sustainable. Alongside residential facilities eco-communities have offices and retail
space with a variety of environmental features, some of which are unprecedented. The planners and
builders of these villages have the environment in mind with every choice they make. They ensure proper
ventilation and guarantee residents clean air indoors. Interior and exterior building materials, such as
paints and wood are natural and non- toxic. One of these is bamboo which is used because it's very durable
and can be grown without the use of dangerous pesticides.

Energy efficiency and energy saving are among the top priorities in eco-communities. Not only do energy-
efficiency appliances and light fixtures reduce the environmental impact of heating cooking and lighting,
they also save residents money. Minimizing energy consumption is the effect of sustainable design
technics among many others like designing buildings with solar access and natural ventilation, using
climate-responsive design materials, and effective insulation.

Eco-communities also take the future into account by recycling waste and reducing carbon emissions.
Wastewater is treated and reused on-site for flushing toilets, and a biomass gas plant converts waste
wood into a renewable form of gas for hot water systems, stoves, and gas heaters. The community also
reduces carbon emissions by using local suppliers for all their transport and maintenance needs, and
residents are encouraged to use mini transit system and join the community's vehicle share program.
These initiatives are exemplary to reduce carbon footprints and create a model for sustainable living in
the future. However, it is not always easy to create such a village or community. Perhaps the biggest
challenge faced by anyone attempting to create an eco- village is that it requires changes in so many
different areas of life. All too often attempt to, or feel forced to, work on all aspects of these changes
simultaneously.

Generally "Ethics' is conceptualized as a set of principles used to determine what is 'right' when it comes
to conduct or behavior of an individual, corporate or society as generally accepted norms. However
obviously, the notion of generally accepted' norms varies between organizations, countries and
contexts. The ethical behavior of employees in banks heavily depends upon corporate culture, and a
strong ethical culture is considered essential to make banks less prone to misconduct. In the context of
banks, the term 'ethics' is conceptualized by trust. efficiency, openness, transparency and accountability,
development and community involvement. For ethical banking, the task of the banking system should
extend beyond the mere enforcement of the fiduciary relationship between depositors and borrowers
to ensure that it is discharged efficiently and honestly and should attempt to ensure that the resources
entrusted to their care are used in a just manner.

Answer all the questions in the answer script. Answer must be written in English (except questions #4
and 5).

1. Read the passage and answer the questions (i-vi) 5×6-30

The weather can change day-to-day or even from hour-to-hour, whereas the climate in an area usually
takes a long time to change. Climate does not change day-to-day or even month-to-month, but usually
takes hundreds, thousands, or millions of years to change. In the world today, climate change is often
heard, and it usually refers to the process of the Earth heating up, which is often called global warming.
Most people can agree on the weather, but sometimes climate change or global warming leads to
disagreement. During its life, the climate of the Earth has changed quite often and has experienced an Ice
Age, warming, and everything in between. It is a proven fact that the Earth's average temperature huis
increased about 133°E over the past 100 years between the 1900s and 2000s. The Earth is covered like a
greenhouse, which is used by some farmers florists, and others to grow plants, it is a 'glass-covered
building that absorbs the heat from the Sun Greenhouses are very hot. The greenhouse gases include
mostly carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide An increase in the greenhouse gases causes the Earth
to become warmer. A warmer climate can affect the planet negatively. It could lead to heavier
precipitation, unusual season changes, heat waves, etc. Farming in developing countries face increased
rain, floods, and droughts; plus, certain kinds of food items may become scarce, unavailable, or more
expensive for people to purchase. Many scientists believe it is a result of human behavior, and changing
some of those behaviors will have a positive effect on climate change and global warming

War and conflicts in their various forms and manifestations remain pervasive around the world. As history
has repeatedly shown, war and conflicts impose immeasurable human suffering and large economic and
social costs. The loss of human life; destruction of infrastructure, human capital, and institutions, political
instability and greater uncertainty associated with conflicts can impede investment and economic growth
not only d the war but also afterward, making it difficult to escape In addition, conflicts tend to complicate
public finances, lowering revenue by destroying part of the tax base while raising military expenditures.
Fiscal deficits and public debt rise as a result, and resources shift away from social and developmental
spending. which further accentuates the consequences. At the regional level, war and conflicts pose an
additional challenge because of their potential spillover effects. War can spread to the neighboring
countries a direct spillover effect. They can also have indirect spillover effects by depressing economic
activity due to increased uncertainty in production or trade disruption) or by creating social strains due to
a large influx of refugees in nearby countries.
