Read the following passage about optimism and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct option
that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 22.
Research has shown that, on the whole, we are optimistic by nature and have a positive view of
ourselves. In fact, we are much more optimistic than realistic and frequently imagine things will turn out better
than they actually do. Most people don't expect their marriages to end in divorce. Many people who fail exams,
for example, (18) __________. Or people (19) __________ often say that it was really positive because it made
them appreciate life more. We really are very good at 'looking on the bright side'.
This certainty that our future is bound to be better than our past and present is known as the 'Optimism
Bias'. Of course, the Optimism Bias can lead us to make some very bad decisions. Often, people don't take out
travel insurance because they're sure everything will be all right, or they smoke cigarettes in spite of the health
warnings on the packet because they believe 'it won't happen to me'. Or on a global scale, we carry on polluting
the planet, because (20) __________.
But researchers believe that the Optimism Bias is actually good for us. People who expect the best are
generally likely to be ambitious and adventurous, whereas people who expect the worst are likely to be more
cautious. Optimists are also healthier because they feel less stress – (21) __________. Not only that, but the
Optimism Bias may also have played an important part in our evolution as human beings. Hoping for the best,
(22) __________ such as hunting down dangerous animals and travelling across the sea to find new places to
live and this is why we became so successful as a species. Even if our optimism is unrealistic and leads us to
take risks, without it we might all still be living in caves, too afraid to go outside and explore the world in case
we get eaten by wild animals.

B. believing that their bad luck stemmed from the questions

C. suffered from a major disease D. whose experience of a critical health issue
Question 20.
A. a method to clean it up will be found eventually, leading us to believe in the future
B. we're sure that we'll find a way to clean it up some day in the future
C. our dedication to clean it up will be paid off at some point in the future
D. cleaning it up requires a strong belief to manage it by ourselves in the future
Question 21.
A. believing that everything is going to turn out well, a sense of calmness engulfs them
B. they could stay calm without trusting that everything will be alright
C. they are convinced there is nothing to worry about as if they could relax

photos all over the world for many years, and she loves travelling. In fact, she was named a 2013 National
Geographic Traveller of the Year.
Travelling is exciting, but sometimes it can be tough. Several years ago, Alison was in a horrible bus
accident in Laos. A truck hit the bus and it caught fire. She was rescued by two tourists who pulled her out of
the bus and took her to a nearby village. The people in the village took care of her as much as they could, but
there weren't any doctors and there was no medicine, and she needed to get to a hospital. She was badly hurt.
She had broken a lot of bones, so she couldn't walk.
Fortunately, a stranger offered to help her. Alison hadn't met him before, but he drove her for eight hours
to a hospital in Thailand where she was able to receive the treatment she needed. Slowly, she started to
recover.
Alison had a frightening experience and she almost didn't survive. She had a goal, and this goal helped
her to get better. Her goal was to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and just a few years after her accident,
she did it! Alison has never forgotten the kindness of the strangers who helped her. She says she's alive today
because of the kindness of strangers.

Read the following passage about fake news and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Every day, hundreds of millions of photos, videos, social media posts, and articles are uploaded to the
internet. Many of these will contain false information, sometimes called fake news. These might be incorrect or
invented facts, wrongly labelled photos, and increasingly, ‘deepfakes’ - computer-generated videos that appear
to show people saying or doing something that they didn't do.
Why do people upload or share incorrect information? Often, they do it without realising that it’s false;
they really believe it, or they write something that's incorrect by mistake, which is then shared. But others
spread fake information on purpose in order to influence people’s opinions. This can be a problem for
journalists and news reporters, as it makes it more difficult to report a story quickly and accurately.
[I] The BBC recently sent a reporter to visit a class of teenage students in Wales. [II] First, the reporter
asked the students where they got their news and whether they knew how to spot fake information. Then he
asked them to play a game to test their skills. In the game, they were a journalist working on the BBC website.
[III] Their job was to post updates on a major breaking news story: a virus that was crashing social media
websites. [IV] They had to analyse information such as photos, videos, social media posts, opinions from
‘experts,’ and updates on other websites, and decide if the source and the information were reliable. Their
‘colleagues’ told them to post news updates as quickly as possible. However, the reporter told the students not
to believe everything and asked them not to post something if they weren’t sure that the information was
accurate.
The students performed well in the game. They identified a lot of fake information, although at times
they were too vigilant and didn’t believe information that was actually true. This isn’t surprising. Their teacher
explained that young people were better than older generations at spotting fake information and that they often
educated their parents about the importance of checking sources.
Question 31. According to paragraph 1, which of the following is NOT a type of misinformation on the
Internet?
A. Fake videos of people saying or doing things B. Made-up or incorrect information
C. False news that is no longer relevant D. Misleading captions on photos
Question 32. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?
A. While a few people unknowingly share false information, most of them spread it to influence opinions.
B. Fake news spreads because some believe it’s true, while others create it to mislead people, especially
journalists and news reporters.
C. Many people don’t realise they share false information, which is not illegal, but others try to spread fake
news despite ethical standards.
D. People share false information accidentally or deliberately, making it harder for journalists and news
reporters to report fast and accurately.
Question 33. The phrase on purpose in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by __________.
A. intentionally B. mistakenly C. continuously D. doubtfully
Question 34. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
This can be a problem for journalists and news reporters, as it makes it more difficult to report a story
quickly and accurately.
A. Were journalists and news reporters aware of this, they would never face difficulties in reporting news
quickly and accurately.
B. Because of this, journalists and news reporters struggle to report news in a fast and reliable way.
C. Only when journalists and news reporters are not misled by this will news stories be delivered in a quick and
accurate way.
D. Since journalists and news reporters aim to report news quickly and reliably, they are often confused about
this.
Question 35. Where in paragraph 3 does the following sentence best fit?
How good are young people at spotting fake news?
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 36. The word them in paragraph 3 refers to __________.
A. news updates B. their colleagues C. the students D. experts
Question 37. The word vigilant in paragraph 4 is opposite in meaning to __________.
A. inexperienced B. cautious C. negligent D. puzzled
Question 38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The reporter was surprised at how good the students were when asked to spot fake news.
B. A large majority of Internet users spread misinformation in order to mislead journalists.
C. The students in the game were asked to verify whether the information was credible.
D. The participants in the game were under great pressure to post inaccurate news updates.
Question 39. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The participants in the game were kept in the dark about how to fact-check sources.
B. Younger individuals, known as digital natives, are better at manipulating public opinions.
C. The students demonstrated strong critical thinking during the game without support.
D. The young are taking an active role in teaching older generations about digital literacy.
Question 40. Which of the following best summarises the passage?

A. Some people unknowingly share false information, while others

spread it deliberately, making journalism harder, and a BBC study
found students were good at spotting fake news but sometimes
doubted true information.
B. Fake news spreads because some people believe it and others try to manipulate opinions, and a BBC test
showed that young people performed better than older generations in terms of identifying fake information.
C. Some people share false news unconsciously while others do it to influence public opinions, and a BBC
experiment found that students were able to recognise fake news perfectly without external support.
D. Many find it hard to tell fake from real news, which affects journalists and news reporters, and a BBC study
showed that students could spot misinformation by using their critical thinking skills, which might be lacking
in older generations.
