(Time: 60 minutes)
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 following questions.
According to the statistics from the World Bank, half of the global population is currently living in cities and the
number is predicted to increase by two-thirds in 2050. Urbanisation, undoubtedly, brings achievements in the economy,
culture, and social development. Well-governed cities enable economies of scale and network effects while reducing
the impact of climate change. This has made economic activities more environmentally friendly. Additionally, the
diversity of people drives innovation by exchanging and breeding new ideas together.
While city dwellers reap fruits from organised and efficient cities, there remains unplanned urbanisation which
has brought about consequences of poverty, social instability, environmental crisis, and the potential for the devastating
spread of disease. These risks would even get worse if the unprecedented transition from rural to urban areas continues.
Cities of the world's emerging economies are the wellspring of global wealth while the planet's resources are
running out. Thus, we must urgently find ways to achieve economic and social growth without more environmental
harm by applying some approaches which not only assure sustainable development in big cities but also contribute to
better planned and designed cities in the future.

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 following questions.
Eating disorders are so common in many developed countries. In any year, two out of every hundred teenagers
will be struggling with one of the two eating disorders, which are anorexia and bulimia. Besides these two types, there
is a newer disorder that is becoming more common - orthorexia. Orthorexia is an unhealthy obsession with healthy
eating. When healthy eating is taken to extremes, malnutrition, severe weight loss and even death can occur as a result.
The term 'orthorexia' was first introduced by Dr. Steven Bratman MD. He says orthorexics often limit themselves
to what they consider pure or natural. In his book - Healthy Food Junkies - he introduces a list of questions so that
readers can answer and then diagnose themselves. If you see yourself having a limited list of foods to eat or spending
most of your time thinking about food or planning what to eat, you might be considered having orthorexia.
Simon Wheeler described symptoms that he experienced as a mild orthorexia. He says, 'First I gave up caffeine
when I read that it is a natural insecticide that plants produce. Then I gave up dairy products. After that, I stopped eating
sugar. And so on.' And how has it affected his life? Simon said, ’None of my friends plan all their meals in advance
and keep a food diary with the calorie breakdown of each meal in it. None of them look at the ingredients of every
single packet in the supermarket, checking for additives, sugar and saturated fats. I’m obsessed with paper-wrapped
products made of organic ingredients, so I always search for them when I go to the local markets.' Being too strict with
a healthy diet in an unreasonable way is not wise. Finding a balance is key to healthy eating, which leads to a life of
well-being.
