the correct answer to each of the questions from 06 to 12.
Since the invention of the printing press, news reporting has advanced in leaps and
bounds. First, the radio was launched in 1910, significantly changing the face of the news by
enabling it to be broadcast at any time of day. Then, almost two decades later, the television made
its debut, allowing viewers to see what was happening all around the world. It’s clear that
technology is a massive driving force behind culture and society. However, nothing has had such a
massive impact on news reporting as the rise of the Internet.
With all the features of print, radio and television combined, the Internet has truly
revolutionized the way in which the world receives news. Now, information is free, plentiful and
instantly accessible as media corporations post new articles 24 hours a day. Not only this, but
newspapers, radio and television stations are no longer the sole bearers of news. Indeed, one
survey revealed that the majority of people learn about a breaking news story through a social
networking site rather than through mainstream sources.
As well as enabling consumers to access news with ease, the Internet also allows news to
be delivered by individual members of society. Through the use of mobile Internet technology,
those present at the scene of an incident are able to report on it long before the press have time to
arrive. This means that the public become the largest contributors of news in the world. However,
since the Internet is largely unregulated, it flourishes with unreliable information. As a result,
unverified sources should always be treated with caution.
The rise of Internet news has seen newspaper sales plummet in recent years, causing
many companies to collapse. For those journalists lucky enough to remain in the business, it is
more cutthroat than ever before. With so many ‘citizen journalists’ around, mainstream media
must produce a much higher calibre of journalism in order to compete. So while the news industry
may be suffering, the Internet is certainly good news for billions of across the globe.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate

Diabetes mellitus is a disorder that is marked by elevated blood glucose (commonly
referred to as blood sugar) A large portion of the food that we eat is converted by the body into
glucose. The blood delivers glucose throughout the body, but the hormone insulin is needed in
order for it to be transported into most cells. Insulin comes from the pancreas. If the pancreas

does not make sufficient insulin or cells are resistant to its activity of promoting glucose uptake,
the blood glucose level becomes elevated.
Type I diabetes represents approximately 5-10% of diabetic patients, usually has a rapid
onset and most frequently manifest in children and adolescents. Because the body cannot use
dietary glucose, the level in the blood is elevated and excess glucose is lost in the urine, causing
weakness, thirst and hunger. The treatment for type I diabetes is insulin replacement
Type II diabetes is found in some 120 million adults, who are able to produce insulin but
the liver and body cells are resistant to its actions. Some types of diabetics can be effectively
treated with diet alone, but many require our medications. Historically, this has been thought of as
maturity onset diabetes because it tends to occur after age 50, but there has been a dramatic

to the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord referred to as peripheral neuropathy. The most
common type of neuropathy in diabetics involves impairment of sensory nerves. Impaired nerve
signals the brain about sensations such as the detection of heat or pain may lead to burns or
