CLEANING THE AIR
Air pollution is a major issue that has serious effects on our health. It is much worse in cities. Although some measures have been taken, more need to be done. One city that is taking significant steps toward a cleaner, healthier environment is Birmingham. It wants to create a Clean Air Zone that will improve the air quality for everyone in the city.
The city plans to do this by enhancing the public transport system. There are long-term plans over the next twenty years to build three new metro lines and introduce fast bus routes across the city, as well as open new train stations and develop the railway lines to encourage more people to choose public transport over cars.
In the meantime, several measures are already in place. The city council is promoting cycling and carpooling to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. It is also launching a
programme to support individuals and businesses in switching to electric vehicles.
The council has also come up with ideas to help manage traffic. Their solutions aim to keep vehicles moving smoothly, preventing the build-up of fumes caused by gridlocked roads. The Clean Air Zone, set to take effect in June, will require drivers to pay to enter the city centre. This will significantly cut nitrogen dioxide levels and improve air quality for people who live and work there. The city is already on its way to making the air cleaner for its citizens and improving their health.

Read the following passage about media in the past 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.
The printed newspaper in the 17thcentury marked a turning point in the disseminationof news and the formation of public opinion. Then, the 19th century witnessed the creationof photography, which profoundly modified how we consume information. The two great inventions laid the foundation for today’s media landscape.
Photographs had a huge impact on newspapers. The articles accompanied by visual representations of events added a level of realism that words alone couldn’t achieve. Illustrated by photos, books featuring difficult topics helped people learn more effectively, and newspaper articles became more understandable to different kinds of readers. Important images captured social movements, wars and historical moments, influencing the public perception and, at times, even the course of history. Moreover, photos significantly increased the emotional impact of news coverage on readers and helped create powerful reactions from them.
[I]Newspapers and photojournalism have a lasting impact globally, even beyond traditional print. [II] Thanks to the fast development of the Internet, images and videos have become powerful tools to grab attention and tell stories around the world in digital and social media. [III] In other words, words together with photos have been utilised to help people not only understand different messages but also encourage them to take action on certain topics. [IV]
The seeds of today’s media were sown centuries ago when newspapers started as the first means of mass communication to the public, and photography added persuasive visual elements. By understanding the past creations, we can have valuable insights into how the modern media landscape functions.

Photos in newspapers increased realism and offered valuable insights, but they often overshadowed complex issues with visuals.
Visuals in newspapers enhanced entertainment, focusing more on appeal than on historical and social awareness.
Photographs in newspapers added realism, improved understanding of complex topics, and stirred strong emotional reactions.
Including photos in newspapers simplified topics and enhanced public engagement with news significantly.

taken for granted
made use of
paid attention to
kept an eye on

Looking at past creations reveals that the modern media landscape lacks significant insight and value.
Without a comprehensive understanding of the past creations, the modern media landscape would be less functional.
Examining past creations suggests that current media functions without relevance to historical media practices.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
In the digital age, images and videos have become essential tools for global storytelling and engaging audiences.
The invention of photography was a more significant event than the advent of the printed newspaper.
News articles illustrated by pictures became more intelligible to a variety of readers than those without pictures.

Current media practices have nothing to do with those early developments.
The invention of newspapers was of little value without photography.
Digital and social media pale in comparison with historical media.
The relationship between historical media and modern media is inextricable.
Which of the following best summarises the passage?
Newspapers and photography established principles for modern media, with today’s digital media continuing to use visuals combined with words to engage audiences and drive understanding worldwide.
Newspapers and photography influenced the creation of modern media, though today’s platforms primarily use images rather than text to engage and inspire audiences for action.
Historical media like newspapers and photography influenced modern media, though today’s focus is mainly on digital and social media platforms for quick information delivery.
Photography in newspapers helped shape modern media, so today’s digital media relies only on short, visual content rather than detailed storytelling, which keeps audiences more engaged.
