D.         Lisa: Our new tablets are amazing because we can touch and feel things on the screen!

Question 15:

Dear David,

A.         I'm trying to help because I know every search on Google creates carbon pollution. If we delete old files, the data centers use less power.

B.         I learned something important yesterday when our teacher talked about computers and nature. She showed us how technology affects our planet.

C.         Before you buy new apps or games, think about the environment because everything online needs energy. Please write back when you have time!

D.         My family has new rules since we learned about digital pollution last month. We turn off Wi-Fi at night while we sleep to save electricity.

e.        When we send emails or post photos online, computers use electricity to save our data. Although the internet looks invisible, it needs real energy.

Best wishes,

Question 16:

A.         When we buy products at the store, we don't pay for the environmental damage they cause. Companies use water and air for free, but nature needs time to clean itself.

B.         If factories pollute rivers, fish die, and people get sick, it costs more money later. Although clean water is expensive, preventing pollution is cheaper than fixing problems.

C.         Some countries now charge companies when they cut trees or produce plastic waste. These businesses must pay "nature taxes" because they use resources that belong to everyone.

D.         When products show their true environmental cost, people can make better choices while shopping. If chocolate costs more because it destroys forests, customers might buy less.

e.        We need this system because our planet has limits, and money helps people understand value. Although change is difficult, we must protect nature before it's too late.

Question 17:

A.         When children only study European history, they miss important stories from Africa, Asia, and America. Although textbooks seem neutral, they often ignore local wisdom.

B.         We need diverse education because one system cannot fit all cultures and learning styles. When schools respect local knowledge, students feel proud and learn better.

C.         Most schools teach Western ideas and methods, but many cultures have their own knowledge systems. Indigenous people learned from nature before universities existed anywhere.

D.         Native peoples understood medicine and astronomy while they lived close to nature for thousands of years. Their knowledge is valuable, yet schools rarely teach it.

e.        Some communities teach through storytelling and songs because these methods help students remember better. If we mix different teaching styles, education becomes more interesting.

Read the following passage about Mexico's Strict New Laws Against Vaping Products and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 22.

Mexico's new laws about electronic cigarettes (18)_________ or controlling them is better. If the government had considered other options, critics would not have said they were being too strict with vaping products. The Senate has approved these strict new rules that show a clear change toward making vaping illegal, with possible jail time of eight years and large fines. President Claudia Sheinbaum, who strongly supports these measures, thinks vaping can be similar to or worse than regular cigarettes for people's health.

The new law, (19)_________, is a big change from the old rules. Opposition politicians say this ban-only approach might accidentally help illegal trade; (20)_________. Senator Luis Colosio's criticism shows basic worries about whether the law can work in practice, especially since vaping products are still easy to find in Mexico City stores even with current restrictions.

Government officials say they will work with local governments to stop illegal sales from growing; (21)_________. The law creates a strange situation where using vapes is legal, but buying them through legal shops becomes almost impossible. (22)_________. Reuters points out that it's unclear how the law will be enforced, which raises questions about how to apply it, especially considering Mexico's past problems with banning things. While health worries are important, not having safer options might push users to dangerous, illegal products, going against what the law wants to protect.

Read the following passage about the Period Poverty: A Hidden Crisis Affecting Millions and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

Recent findings from Dignity Grows paint a clear picture of an overlooked issue impacting American women. Their comprehensive study surveyed 2,000 females across the nation, revealing that menstrual product insecurity affects nearly 42% of respondents. This widespread problem goes beyond mere inconvenience—it represents a genuine public health emergency that demands immediate attention. [I] The data shows that one in five participants has foregone essential hygiene items due to financial limitations, while transportation barriers and domestic violence further compound accessibility challenges.

Certain demographics face disproportionate hardship regarding menstrual supply availability. Young adults under twenty-five encounter these difficulties at alarming rates, with two-thirds experiencing some form of deprivation. [II] Hispanic communities show particularly concerning statistics at 59%, while households earning below $30,000 annually struggle significantly. Their educational background also plays a crucial role, as those without university qualifications face higher vulnerability. These disparities highlight how socioeconomic factors intersect to create multiple layers of disadvantage for already marginalized groups.

The consequences extend far beyond physical discomfort, creating ripple effects throughout various life domains. Among currently afflicted individuals, psychological well-being deteriorates substantially, with 57% reporting emotional distress. Professional performance suffers considerably—42% acknowledge workplace difficulties, while educational outcomes decline through reduced attendance and participation. Nearly half of those experiencing ongoing scarcity develop medical complications, many requiring serious intervention. [III] Daily routines become increasingly difficult to maintain, affecting everything from social interactions to personal relationships.

Addressing this multifaceted challenge requires comprehensive policy reform and innovative distribution methods. Researchers emphasize the necessity for dignified access points that preserve privacy and autonomy, particularly within residential settings. [IV] Community-based solutions must consider cultural sensitivities while ensuring consistent availability. Investment in research remains vital for understanding long-term implications and developing effective interventions. Only through coordinated efforts between government agencies, healthcare providers, and advocacy organizations can society begin dismantling the structural barriers perpetuating this crisis.
