TEENAGERS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each
of the following questions from 39 to 43.
More and more young people are choosing to take a gap year between finishing school and
starting university. Alternatively, they may decide to take a gap year between graduating from
university and starting a career feeling the need for some time out before joining the rat race.
Most students see the time as an opportunity to travel. The idea of travelling to as many foreign
places as possible appeals greatly.
A large percentage of gap-year students have wealthy parents who can easily subsidze their
travel. Others have to save up before they go or look for some forms of employment while
travelling. For example, they may works on local farms or in local hotels. By doing so, they not
only earn some money, but they are likely to meet local people and acquire some
understanding of their culture.


 
There are some students who choose to work for the whole of their gap year. A number may
decide to get work experience, either at home or abroad in an area which they hope to make
their career, such as medicine or computers. A large proportion of students are now choosing to
work with a charity which arranges voluntary work in various parts of the world. The project
provides hands-on experience of a very varied nature, from teaching to helping build roads or
dams.
The gap year is not just an adventure. Young people can benefit greatly from encountering new
varied experiences and from communication with a wide range of people. Perhaps most
important, gap-year students have to learn to stand on their own two feet.

Question 39: What could be the best title of the passage?
A. Studying Overseas

B. Taking Time Out

C. Working for Life

D. Contributing to the Community

Question 40: The word “subsidize” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by.......
A. pay for

B. work for

C. apply for

D. ask for

Question 41: The word “their” in paragraph 2 refers t..........
A. gap-year students

B. local farms

C. local people

D. local hotels

Question 42: According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Students can take a gap year only before starting university.
B. The number of students take a gap year between high school and university is falling

C. Most students consider a gap year as a chance to travel
D. None of the students choose to work for the whole of their gap year to get experience
Question 43: According to the passage, which is perhaps the most benefit of the students’
taking a gap year?
A. They receive partical training for their future careers
B. They learn how to become independent
C. They earn money to support their further studies
D. They have an opportunity to meet local people
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 44 to
50.
“I have not paid a single electricity bill since the year 1970” says Richard Perez with noticable
glee. He can afford to be smug. He lives “ off-grid” – unconnected to the power grid and the
water, gas and sewerage supplies that most people in the world rely on. He ganerate his own
electricity, sources his own water and deals with his own waste disposal – and he prefers in that
way. “There are times when the grid blacks out” he says. “I really like the security of having my
own electricity company.”
Perez is not alone. Once the preserve of mavericks, hippies and survivalists, there are now
approximately 200,000 off-grid households in the United States of America, a figure that Perez
says has been increasing by a third every year for the past decade. For all of the people who
live off-grid, self-sufficency means guilt-free energy consumption and peace of mind. “It feels
brilliant to make use of clean, free energy that is not from fossil fuels” says Suzanne Galant, a
writer who lives off-grid in a rural area in Wales. “And if something goes wrong, we can fix it
ourself”. Now even urbanites are seeing the appeal of generating some if not all of their own


 
power needs. So is energy freedom an eco pipe-dream or the untimate good life?
Well, there is only one wy to find out: begin to explore the possibilities of solar, wind or hydropower. But unless you live on a sunny, south-facing hillsidewith access to a nearby river or
stream, that might prove prohibitively expensive!

There is no doubt that being off-grid has its problems, and it is not always the cheapest way to
get the energy you need. Even so, pioneers like Perez have proved that it can be done, and
without giving up a 21st century lifestyle: “I have got five personal computers, two laser
scanners, two fridge-freezer, a microwave, a covection oven, vacuum cleaners –you name it”
says Perez. There is an external beam antenna on the roof for the phone and a satellite dish for
an Internet connection. I have got 70 kWh in batteries that could last me five days. I have too
much electricity”. Too much electricity and no more bills. That has got to be worth aiming for.
Question 44: Which is the best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Unplugging from the Grid
B. No water, no life!
C. A Day in the Life of an “Off-Grid”
D. Living without Electricity
Question 45: The phrase “blacks out” in paragraph 1 mostly means............
A. fails to work

B. is able to run

C. has no functions

D. serves many purposes

Question 46: According to paragraph 1, Perez has managed to.......
A. save a lot of money with his own company
B. stay independent of certain public utilities
C. provide energy for people in his neighbourhood
D. pay off his electricity bills since 1970
Question 47: The word “pipe-dream” in paragraph 2 mostly means............
A. a promissing vision

B. a terrible situation

C. an impractical hope

D. a real nightmare

Question 48: The word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to.............
A. being a pioneer

B. getting the energy

C. being off-grid

D. giving up a 21st century lifestyle

Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. The number of “off-gridders” in the US is said to have risen by 33% over the past ten years
B. Some city dwellers have shown an interest in producing their own electricity
C. “Off-gridders” enjoy not doing harm to the environment
D. People opting for off-grid living used to be considered quite eccentric
Question 50: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Adopting an off-grid lifestyle is only suitable for low-income people
B. Leading a 21st century lifestyle means consuming a great deal of electricity
C. Many “off-gridders” have made a fortune selling thier own electricity


 
D. Most people living in temperate regions are against the idea of living off-grid
