Read the following passages and answer ALL the questions.
Passage I
I ln the 1940s and 50s, many artists had visions of a future where technology and
the evolution of civilisation created a kind of utopian society, There were flying cars and
underwater cities, and human civilisation had expanded outwards into space. There
were, of course, predictions
of a completely opposite kind of world, but this bright and
optimistic retro-futurism was everywhere, not least in mainstream advertising.
ll Nowadays, pop culture predictions
of the future are of a more subdued and
dystopian nature. Civilisation is being destroyed by all knds of viruses and zombie
apocalypses, the planet is ruined by ecological disaster, usually man-made, and people
are scuffling to flnd food, water and shelter. Art and life reflect each other. lt is no
wonder really that modern pop culture tends towards pessimism and disillusionment:
the world's clmate is changing, we seem to be slowly and surely destroying our
environment and as technology advances, it seems more and more possible that we,
humans, are capable of destroying ourselves.
lll Scientific studies of climate patterns and nature have shown that the Earth's
climate is actually changing, and n the past few years the changes have been
observable. Last year was among the 10 warmest years ever recorded. Earlier this
year, Europe suffered through one of its longest and coldest winters and springs ever.
The UK's Met Office reported that the country's spring was the coldest one n 50 years
and in fact, the region was still experiencing snowfall in the first few days of June, when
summer is supposed to have officially started.
FALOO24
lV One of the scientific theories is that the greenhouse effect is a principal cause of
global warming, which was and still is a chief contributor to the accelerated melting of
glaciers and polar ice and other changes to the environment and climate. Human-
dominated ecosystems are nothing new
-
as with any of Earth's species, humans
change the environment in which they live. For centuries, humans have been planting
crops and building structures. However, human influence on Earth's ecosystems has
never been as pervasive as it is now. Environmental scientists and ecologists state that
human enterprises
-
activities such as agriculture, industry, fishing and international
commerce
-
alter major biogeochemical cycles, among other things, which causes
further effect on the functioning of the Earth system.
V The Second Assessment Report of the lntergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) stated in 1996 that the greenhouse gas concentration that were
continuing to warm the planet and produced other changes in the Earth's climate could
be targely attributed to human activity, especially fossil fuel use, land-use change and
agriculture. Only two weeks ago IPCC produced its Fifth Assessment Report which
stated that human influence on the climate system is clear and is evidenced in most
regions of the world.

Passage ll
I Green technology has seen many new innovations lately. Since the inception of
green technology, we have always on the lookout for energy that is efficient and clean.
We have tried taming energy from elements such as the sun, water, and the wind, and
even explored alternative forms of energy such as harvesting human body heat. These
past few years have seen major improvements and innovatons in the field, but have still
left many questions unanswered. A promising new technology in this area is tidal
energy, but we are
just
scratching the tip of the iceberg.
ll To understand tides, we need to know that the moon goes across the sky once
every 24 hours, while a full orbit around Earth takes 27 days. The position of the moon
in relation to Earth affects our tides at any given time through the forces of gravity. The
sun also plays a part in this, but only has a third of the effect compared to the moon. lt
also affects solid material such as land and stone, but only by millimetres. As the moon
has its set time orbiting around the Earth, this makes high and low tides very
predictable. Of course, this is an oversimplification of how it all really works, but it helps
us see how tidal energy can be a reliable source of energy in the future.
lll Tidal energy has always been a concept and it has been around for a long time.
There have been traces of its usage from the Middle Ages. Mostly, it has been used to
mill grain with the use of tide mills. The reason why this technology has been put on the
5
FAL OO24
backburner is because it is expensive to produce. Talk about tidal power has been
revived, mainly because it is a more predictable form of renewable energy, and it can
power up to 20 percent of UK's demand of electricity. lt also has much
potential in the
amount of power available to hamess 250MW
-
450MW, especially in the Asian,
Ganadian and Russian region. lt has overtaken the efficiency of wind power and it even
out-powers solar energy, making it a liable solution to our energy problems.
lV As feasible as it sounds, putting turbines on the seabed is not as easy as it
seems. lnstallation in itself is a problem. Getting access to the bottom of the oceans or
rivers and fixing a fan into the ground is one of the challenges. There is also the harsh
environment of the sea
-
salt water and unforgiving Mother Nature always puts us in our
place whenever we try to tame her. SeaGen, the wodd's first tidal generator in lreland
faced such wrath. During the first trials of the system, the tide was so strong that it
damaged the turbine fans. The fan blades are also a
potential
threat to sea life, but
scientists are already looking for ways to slow the fans down while mantainl$ergy
production. Gompared to how far we have corne in terms of technology, hamessing tidal
industry is still in its beginning stages. There are only two commercial-sized running
plants and one experimental plant in the world.
V While initial implementation mht be costly, the maintenance after installation is
miniscule compared to other forms of energy. This is the biggest reason why tidal power
is seeing so much hype rently. Tidal energy also takes the cake of being a clean
source of power. There are no emissions or waste, and no pollution known to damage
the place it draws its energy from. Couple to the fact that the tides are much more
reliable and predictable than the wind or sun, you are looking at a real contender for
renewable energy. Tfie disadvantages of tidal energy on the other hand are more
severe. The act of restraining water flow from coast lines will affect how long mudflats
are exposed to water. This is extrernely important because mudflats usually harbour
many forms of life from birds to mammals to fish. Not only the water flow changed, but
silt will also form near banages, causing indirect pollution to the coastal areas. Thus,
the scale of operations needs to be huge and suitable.
FAL OO24
Vl As promising as it may seem, experts seem to think that tidal energy is
just
a
dark horse in the industry, yet to realize its full potential. Competition is one factor to be
considered. As fossil fuels have already been through endless trial and error, they are
able to generate more power for only the fraction of the cost. Tidal energy does not
have this luxury. There is also the matter of logistics and the unpredictability of its effect
on the ecosystem if industrialised on a large scale without prior research. Tidal energy
is worth keeping an eye on, and its time will come, but all it is for now is
just
a view on
the horizon of a distant future.

Passage lll
I lce was a hard-to-get commod for centuries. Only the rich and famous could
manage the cost of harvesting and storing it in insulated chambers with adequate
drainage. The genesis of ice cream can thus be trad back to icy beverages enyed
by royalty. The Persians concocted grape.juice concentrate poured over snow, in a
bowl, as a treat in hot summers. The fad evolved into one where ice was mixed with
saffron, fruits, and various other flavours
-
precursors to our modem day sorbets, frozen
desserts made from fruit
juice
or puree, mixed with syrup, served at elaborate French
meals as a palate cleanser between courses.
ll But ice cream as we know today, usually made from dairy products, was first
whipped up by the inventive Arabs. They used milk as a major ingredient in the
production of ice cream, sweetened with sugar (rather than fruit
juices).
lt was only in
the second half of the 20h century, after cheap refrigeration became common that ice
cream was enjoyed by us comrnoners. Thereafter, important refinements followed. Soft
ice cream, served from a spigot onto a cone came about after researcher discovered
the rnethod of dotrbling the air amount in i ceam. Further innovations introduced food
additives into ice cream, most notably the stabilising agent gluten. lt allowed the
concoction of thicker, creamier ice cream in the vein of Hagen Daaz etc that spur a full-
on caloric camage.
FAL OO24
lll Depending on which part of the globe it is made, ice cream takes on different
characteristics. ltaly's version of ice cream, gelato, has significantly less butterfat than
other variets. That translates to it melting faster in your mouth and because it has less
fat, it doesn't coat the tongue so you get to taste the flavours of gelato more intensely.
Another reason gelato rates hher in the frozen-treat stakes with connoisseurs is
because it is more flavourful as it has a much higher density. Why? lce cream is
produd by whipping together cream, milk and sugar that adds air to the product. The
air nearly doubles the quantity of the product but cuts the quality in half. No air or
snificantly less air is added to gelato. Gelato is also served 10 to 15 degrees warrner
than ice cream. As it is less solidly frozen, gelato's taste is further enhanced as it melts
in the rnouth in a heartbeat.
lV ln North lndia, ice cream is known as kulfi, made primarily with buffalo's milk
-
said to be thicker and creamier than cou/s milk
-
but contains less fat, giving it a unique
taste. And kulfi is a premium i cream because it contains no air
-
it is solid, dense
frozen milk that's sweetened and flavoured with exotic ingredients like cardamom, malai
(cream) and saffron and put into moulds and frozen. This rich, buttery product is
gamished with pistachios and/or almonds when served. lce cream is served in a unique
way in Japan. lts mochi ice cream is wrapped in delicate, sticky rice. The Japanese
have started to even exporting them to western countries. There's also fried ice cream,
associated with Ghinese and Japanese rnenus, and even Mexican cuisine. lt's a treat
that involves what seems implausible
-
placing a frozen treat into boiling oil and keeping
it intact. A scoop of frozen ice cream is coated in tempura batter in the Asian recipe or
com flakes, nuts, cookie crumbs or tortillas in the Mexican version.
V And if the incamations of i cream boggle the mind, the choice of flavours can
leave one seeing stars. The days of ordering plain vanilla ice cream might be numbered
as gastronomic innovations with sugar, cream and ice push the envelope. You can now
choose from beetroot and wasabi to smoked oil and black pepper ice creams, even
car-smoke caramel flavor for those nicotine addicts needing a sugar fix. The latest
innovation is a liquid nitrogen injec'tion system which is the world's first glow in the dark
