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.
The peregrine falcon, a predatory bird indigenous to North America, was once in danger of
extinction. In the 1960s, scientists discovered by products of the pesticide DDT in the birds’ eggs,
which caused them to be too soft to survive. The use of the pesticide had been banned in the United
States, but the falcons were eating migratory birds from other places where DDT was still used. In
order to increase the survival rate, scientists were raising the birds in laboratories and then releasing
them into mountainous areas. This practice achieved only moderate success, however, because many
of the birds raised in captivity could not survive in the wild.

There is now, however, a new alternative to releases in the wild. A falcon that has been given the
name Scarlett chose to make her home on a ledge of the 33rd floor of a Baltimore, Maryland, office
building rather than in the wild, and, to the surprise of the scientists, she has managed to live quite
well in the city. Following this example, programs have been initiated that release birds like Scarlett
into cities rather than into their natural wild habitat. These urban releases are becoming a common
way to strengthen the species. Urban homes have several benefits for the birds that wild spots do not.
First, there is an abundance of pigeons and small birds as food sources. The peregrine in the city is
also protected from its main predator, the great horned owl. Urban release programs have been very
successful in reestablishing the peregrine falcons along the East Coast. Though they are still an
endangered species, their numbers increased from about 60 nesting pairs in 1975 to about 700 pairs
in 1992. In another decade the species may flourish again, this time without human help.

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 questions from 43 to 50.
Cambridge University is considering axing compulsory written exams, allowing students to use
laptops or iPads instead, after tutors complained that students’ handwriting is becoming illegible.
Academics say the move, which would bring an end to over 800 years of tradition, has come about
because students rely too heavily on laptops in lectures, and are losing the ability to write by hand.
Dr. Sarah Pearsall, a senior lecturer at Cambridge University, said handwriting is becoming a “lost
art” among the current generation of students. She added, “It’s increasingly hard for our examiners to
read students’ scripts. Those with illegible writing are forced to come back to their college during the
summer holidays to read their answers aloud in the presence of two university administrators. It’s
extraordinarily commendable that the University is considering reforms to its examination
practices.”
Sir Anthony Seldon, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham, said it is inevitable that
universities will move to computers as handwriting deteriorates in the coming years. “We have to
accept the reality. Handwriting has now become an optional, not a necessary, part of education.
There simply isn’t the same time in the curriculum for learning elegant, beautiful handwriting. Life is
so quick now. Everybody writes as if they were a doctor writing a prescription,” he said.
“Handwriting is not necessary for great thought, great English, or great intelligence. Some of our
finest wordsmiths today write using laptops, and we have to fight to preserve what is really
important, such as the use of great English or great sentence structures.”
Others, however, were not very positive about the move. Tracey Trussell, a handwriting expert,
urged Cambridge to ensure that students continue to write by hand. She said, “It’s vital that people
continue to write by hand. Writing by hand improves memory and equates to a higher rate of

comprehension and information retention.” There is also concern that schools could follow
Cambridge’s example by moving away from handwriting. Dr. Jane Medwell, Associate Professor of
Education at the University of Nottingham, is concerned that scrapping handwritten exams in
universities could prompt “downward curriculum pressure” on primary and secondary schools to
follow suit.
