One of the factors contributing to the intense nature of twenty-first-century stress is our continual exposure to media – particularly to an overabundance of news If you feel stressed out by the news, you are far from alone Yet somehow many of us seem unable to prevent ourselves from tuning in to an extreme degree

The further back we go in human history, the longer news took to travel from place to place, and the less news we had of distant people and lands altogether The printing press obviously changed all that, as did every subsequent development in transportation and telecommunication

When television came along, it proliferated like a population of rabbits In 1950, there were 100,000 television sets in North American homes; one year later there were more than a million Today, it’s not unusual for a home to have three or more television sets, each with cable access to perhaps over a hundred channels News is the subject of many of those channels, and on several of them it runs 24 hours a day

What’s more, after the traumatic events of September 11, 2001, live newscasts were paired with perennial text crawls across the bottom of the screen – so that viewers could stay abreast of every story all the time

Needless to say, the news that is reported to us is not good news, but rather disturbing images and sound bytes alluding to disaster (natural and man-made), upheaval, crime, scandal, war, and the like Compounding the problem is that when actual breaking news is scarce, most broadcasts fill in with scare stories about things that possibly might threaten our health, safety, finances, relationships, waistline, hairline, or very existence in the future This variety of story tends to treat with equal alarm a potentially lethal flu outbreak and the bogus claims of a wrinkle cream that overpromises smooth skin

Are humans meant to be able to process so much trauma – not to mention so much overblown anticipation of potential trauma – at once? The human brain, remember, is programmed to slip into alarm mode when danger looms Danger looms for someone, somewhere at every moment Exposing ourselves to such input without respite and without perspective cannot be anything other than a source of chronic stress

(Extracted from The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Beating Stress by Arlene Matthews Uhl - Penguin Group 2006) Question 36: According to the passage, which of the following has contributed to the intense nature of twenty-first-century stress?

A The degree to which stress affects our life B Our inability to control ourselves C An overabundance of special news D Our continual exposure to the media Question 37: In the past, we had less news of distant people and lands because

A printing, transportation, and telecommunications were not developed B means of communication and transportation were not yet invented C most people lived in distant towns and villages

D the printing press changed the situation too slowly

Question 38: The pronoun “them” in paragraph refers to

A TV channels B TV news C television sets D cable access Question 39: The word “traumatic” in paragraph is closest in meaning to

(4)

Question 40: According to the passage, when there is not enough actual breaking news, broadcasts

A are full of dangerous diseases such as flu

B send out live newscasts paired with text across the screen C are forced to publicise an alarming increase in crime D send out frightening stories about potential dangers

Question 41: As stated in the passage, a flu outbreak and the bogus claims of a wrinkle cream tend to

A be scarce breaking news B involve natural and man-made disasters C be treated with equal alarm D be warmly welcomed by the public Question 42: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?

A The only source of stress in our modern life is the media B Many TV channels supply the public with breaking news C Many people are under stress caused by the media D The news that is reported to us is not good news

Question 43: The word “slip” in paragraph is closest in meaning to

A fail B bring C release D fall

Question 44: According to the passage, our continual exposure to bad news without perspective is obviously

A the result of an overabundance of good news B the result of human brain’s switch to alarm mode C a source of defects in human brain

D a source of chronic stress

Question 45: What is probably the best title for this passage?

A Developments in Telecommunications B The Media – A Major Cause of Stress C More Modern Life – More Stress D Effective Ways to Beat Stress

Read the following passage on climate change, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80

Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods

These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid

The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years The implications for the planet are very serious Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture

It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped This leads to the warming up of the planet

Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world's industrialized countries Of these summits, the most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997 There it was agreed that the most industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions

It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb greenhouse gases At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic deforestation

Sadly, the targets are not being met Even more sadly, global warnings about climate changes are often still being regarded as scaremongering

them it runs 24 hours a day

What’s more, after the traumatic events of September 11, 2001, live newscasts were paired with perennial text crawls across the bottom of the screen – so that viewers could stay abreast of every story all the time
