Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.

A two-year study by a European sustainability research group has examined how the rise of fast fashion is changing the way people buy and discard clothing. The researchers tracked the shopping habits of more than three thousand consumers across several countries and compared them with data collected a decade earlier.

The study found that the average shopper now buys nearly sixty percent more items of clothing each year than in the previous decade, yet keeps each garment for only half as long before throwing it away. Cheap production costs, rapid turnover of new styles and constant promotion on social media, the researchers argue, have encouraged many consumers to treat clothing as disposable rather than durable.

This shift has serious environmental consequences, since the textile industry already produces more greenhouse gas emissions each year than international flights and shipping combined, and most discarded garments end up in landfill because they are made from blended fabrics that are difficult to recycle. The researchers also found that only a small fraction of surveyed shoppers were aware of how their clothing was manufactured or transported.

Despite these findings, the report notes some encouraging signs. A growing number of young consumers say they now prefer buying second-hand clothing or repairing damaged items, and several major retailers have begun offering repair and recycling schemes in their stores. The researchers conclude that changing consumer habits, alongside stricter industry regulation, will be necessary if the environmental damage caused by fast fashion is to be reduced significantly.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.

For decades, travelling beyond Earth's atmosphere was a privilege reserved almost exclusively for professionally trained astronauts sponsored by national space agencies. That began to change at the turn of the twenty-first century, when a wealthy American engineer paid a Russian space agency millions of dollars to join a mission to the International Space Station, becoming the first paying passenger to travel to orbit.

Several developments over the following two decades turned that single flight into an emerging industry. [I] Private companies began competing to build reusable rockets, which dramatically lowered the cost of reaching space compared with the disposable rockets used in earlier decades. [II] Investors, encouraged by these falling costs, poured billions of dollars into start-ups promising to fly paying customers on short suborbital trips. [III] Regulators in several countries also began drafting new safety rules specifically for commercial spaceflight, since existing aviation law had never anticipated tourists travelling to space. [IV]

By the early 2020s, several companies had begun operating short suborbital flights lasting only a few minutes above the boundary of space, giving paying customers a few minutes of weightlessness and a view of Earth's curvature before returning to the ground. Tickets for these brief trips cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each, putting the experience far beyond the reach of most people, though prices were expected to fall as competition increased.

Orbital tourism, in which passengers spend days or weeks circling the planet, has remained far more expensive and technically demanding, largely because it requires far more fuel, life-support equipment and crew training than a brief suborbital hop. Even so, several private citizens have now spent extended periods aboard orbiting spacecraft, some conducting scientific experiments that professional astronauts had previously carried out.

Industry analysts predict that space tourism will remain a niche market for wealthy travellers for at least another decade, but they also note that every major transport industry, from commercial aviation to ocean cruising, began in a similarly exclusive way before costs eventually fell. Whether space tourism follows the same path, they argue, will depend largely on how quickly rocket technology continues to improve.

That began to change at the turn of the twenty-first century, when a wealthy American engineer paid a Russian space agency millions of dollars to join a mission to the International Space Station, becoming the first paying passenger to travel to orbit.

Several developments over the following two decades turned that single flight into an emerging industry. [I] Private companies began competing to build reusable rockets, which dramatically lowered the cost of reaching space compared with the disposable rockets used in earlier decades. [II] Investors, encouraged by these falling costs, poured billions of dollars into start-ups promising to fly paying customers on short suborbital trips. [III] Regulators in several countries also began drafting new safety rules specifically for commercial spaceflight, since existing aviation law had never anticipated tourists travelling to space. [IV]

By the early 2020s, several companies had begun operating short suborbital flights lasting only a few minutes above the boundary of space, giving paying customers a few minutes of weightlessness and a view of Earth's curvature before returning to the ground. Tickets for these brief trips cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each, putting the experience far beyond the reach of most people, though prices were expected to fall as competition increased.

Orbital tourism, in which passengers spend days or weeks circling the planet, has remained far more expensive and technically demanding, largely because it requires far more fuel, life-support equipment and crew training than a brief suborbital hop. Even so, several private citizens have now spent extended periods aboard orbiting spacecraft, some conducting scientific experiments that professional astronauts had previously carried out.

Industry analysts predict that space tourism will remain a niche market for wealthy travellers for at least another decade, but they also note that every major transport industry, from commercial aviation to ocean cruising, began in a similarly exclusive way before costs eventually fell. Whether space tourism follows the same path, they argue, will depend largely on how quickly rocket technology continues to improve.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.

For decades, travelling beyond Earth's atmosphere was a privilege reserved almost exclusively for professionally trained astronauts sponsored by national space agencies. That began to change at the turn of the twenty-first century, when a wealthy American engineer paid a Russian space agency millions of dollars to join a mission to the International Space Station, becoming the first paying passenger to travel to orbit.
