Question Number Two: Reading Comprehension
Choose A, B, C or D to answer the following questions.
Text One.
In many ways, human life on this planet is better than it’s ever been. In many countries across the world, crime has been dropping steadily. This may be due to better education, or perhaps to a reduction in extreme poverty. In 2018, the proportion of the world’s population living in extreme poverty fell to around 10%. With luck, no one will be living in this way within a few decades.
Technology is also making our lives easier and safer, and this trend is bound to continue. For example, driving is sure to become safer. Human error is the key reason for most car accidents, and well-programmed driverless cars may save huge numbers of lives. Such cars are already a reality and are going to become more common in the next few years.
And finally, life expectancy is already higher than it’s ever been and as a result of better medicine, people are likely to live until the age of 100.
1- What is one reason cited for the drop-in crime rates around the world?
- Better sports facilities
- Improved education
- More video games
- Increased travel
2- What technological advancement is expected to make driving safer?
- Electric cars
- Driverless cars
- Solar-powered cars
- Flying cars
3- What is the key reason for most car accidents, according to the text?
- Road conditions
- Weather
- Human error
- Car design
4- What does the text describe as making our lives easier and safer?
- Technology
- Books
- Art
- Music
5- What is expected to become more common in the next few years according to the text?
- Telephones
- Trains
- Bicycles
- Driverless cars
Text B.
We may have seen some improvement in poverty and crime in recent decades, but why assume that this pattern will continue? I’d argue that for most people life is actually unlikely to get better.
Advances in robotics and artificial intelligence will not only reduce the number of unskilled jobs available but will also eliminate semi-skilled jobs which can be done by a computer. By 2050, young people will have been trying, and failing, to get a job for most of their ‘working’ lives! In 30 years’ time, a few lucky people will be rich and the rest of us will be poor.
Within 20 years, we will have stopped fighting over oil — we’ll be fighting over water instead, as global warming is certain to lead to more water shortages.
6- What does the text predict about the availability of unskilled jobs by 2050?
- Decrease in number
- Increase in number
- Not mentioned
- Stay the same
7- What will happen to semi-skilled jobs, according to the text?
- will be terminated
- They will increase
- They will become high paying
- They will be done by computers
8- What economic disparity does the text predict for the future?
- Everyone will be wealthy
- A few will be rich, and most will be poor
- Everyone will be poor
- No economic changes
9- What is a major environmental concern mentioned in the text that will lead to conflicts?
- Deforestation
- Air pollution
- Wildlife extinction
- Global warming
10- According to the text, what is the fate of young people trying to find jobs by 2050?
- They will struggle to find any jobs
- They will easily find high-paying jobs
- They will not need jobs due to universal income
- They will all become entrepreneurs
