Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 8 to 12.
The idea of life in outer space has been talked about for a long time. Some scientists say that life
development on Earth was far too unlikely for it to have happened anywhere else. Things had to be perfect
for us to make it on this planet. Other scientists say that space is too big. Stars and other planets are far too
numerous for there to be no other life in the universe.
For many years, there have been reports of visitors from other planets. People all around the world have
claimed to see alien spaceships or even aliens themselves. There have been glimpses of these so-called UFOs
(unidentified flying objects) flying through the air and they have even been captured on video. Some
Americans believe that the U.S. Army found an alien spaceship crashed in the desert and then lied to the
press about it. Although these sightings may be true, scientists have not found significant evidence that aliens

exist.
If you go out into the countryside on a clear night and look up, you can see thousands of stars. Those stars
make up a tiny part of our universe. There are more stars, planets, and galaxies than we can count. Even the
smartest scientists can't even come close to defining how big space is. The number of possible stars and
planets out there is bigger than our ability to count. If we are really on the only planet that can sustain life,
then we are very special in a universe full of amazing things.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 17 to 23.
The Covid-19 pandemic has reshaped our personal relationships in unprecedented ways, forcing us to live
closer together with some people and further apart from others. Both in China, which was the first country in
the world to go into full lockdown when the virus emerged there, and in Hong Kong - the virus has been


brought under control and life has returned to some semblance of normality. But the pandemic has left some
cracks in family relationships.
Most notably the high-pressure environment of confinement, combined with the financial stress brought
about by a Covid-19 burdened economy, has led to a rise in marital conflict. This is most evident in a spike in
divorce rates. In the city of Xi'an in northwest China's Shanxi province, marriage registration offices saw an
unprecedented number of divorce requests when they re-opened in March. And it would seem that more
extreme cases, these conflicts arising during lockdown have led to a surge in cases of domestic violence. In
Hubei province, the heart of the initial outbreak, reported cases of domestic violence increased threefold
since the pandemic started.
In Beijing, the women's rights NGO Equality reported a surge in calls to its helpline on issues of domestic
violence, after lockdown measures were implemented throughout the country in early February. In Hong
Kong, Harmony House, a domestic violence prevention centre and shelter, the number of admissions to the
centre rose from 10 in January to 40 in April. Although Hong Kong hasn't gone into full lockdown, pandemic
stress, the pressures of working from home, school closures, social isolation have caused a rise in abusive
behaviours in families.
Another challenge that families are facing is the increased burden of care as a result of quarantine measures
and home-schooling situations. Often, women end up shouldering a greater burden, given typically unequal
divisions in household labour, according to Choi. Women spend 2.5 times more time on unpaid care work
than men in China, and this will have long-term implications on women's ability to participate in the
workforce. "Women workers might be disproportionately affected by Covid-19 related layoffs," said Choi,
both because women have to stay at home and take care of their families, but also because both in China and
Hong Kong, women are more likely to be employed in the retail sector, including restaurants, hotels and

airlines, which have been hit heaviest by the pandemic.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 17 to 23.
The Covid-19 pandemic has reshaped our personal relationships in unprecedented ways, forcing us to live

closer together with some people and further apart from others. Both in China, which was the first country in
the world to go into full lockdown when the virus emerged there, and in Hong Kong - the virus has been
brought under control and life has returned to some semblance of normality. But the pandemic has left some
cracks in family relationships.
Most notably the high-pressure environment of confinement, combined with the financial stress brought
about by a Covid-19 burdened economy, has led to a rise in marital conflict. This is most evident in a spike in
divorce rates. In the city of Xi'an in northwest China's Shanxi province, marriage registration offices saw an
unprecedented number of divorce requests when they re-opened in March. And it would seem that more
extreme cases, these conflicts arising during lockdown have led to a surge in cases of domestic violence. In
Hubei province, the heart of the initial outbreak, reported cases of domestic violence increased threefold
since the pandemic started.
In Beijing, the women's rights NGO Equality reported a surge in calls to its helpline on issues of domestic
violence, after lockdown measures were implemented throughout the country in early February. In Hong
Kong, Harmony House, a domestic violence prevention centre and shelter, the number of admissions to the
centre rose from 10 in January to 40 in April. Although Hong Kong hasn't gone into full lockdown, pandemic
stress, the pressures of working from home, school closures, social isolation have caused a rise in abusive
behaviours in families.
Another challenge that families are facing is the increased burden of care as a result of quarantine measures
and home-schooling situations. Often, women end up shouldering a greater burden, given typically unequal
divisions in household labour, according to Choi. Women spend 2.5 times more time on unpaid care work
than men in China, and this will have long-term implications on women's ability to participate in the
workforce. "Women workers might be disproportionately affected by Covid-19 related layoffs," said Choi,
both because women have to stay at home and take care of their families, but also because both in China and
Hong Kong, women are more likely to be employed in the retail sector, including restaurants, hotels and
airlines, which have been hit heaviest by the pandemic.
