Question 1

Read the extract, then answer the question. When Helsinki's city planners first proposed turning a disused railway yard into a mixed-use neighbourhood, critics called the idea "optimistic fiction." Ten years later, the district hosts co-working spaces, a food market and more than two thousand residents—yet rents have climbed so steeply that many of the artists who first popularised the area can no longer afford to stay. What is the main tension the writer highlights?

Urban regeneration brought vitality but also displaced the community that helped create it. The railway yard was never suitable for residential use. Planners deliberately set out to exclude artists from the start. The food market alone caused rents to rise.

Correct Answer:

Urban regeneration brought vitality but also displaced the community that helped create it.

Question 2

Read the extract. "I used to think multitasking made me productive," writes a technology columnist. "Then I timed my work with a single-task timer and discovered I finished the same report in half the time—and remembered what I had written." What does the columnist mainly conclude?

Focusing on one task at a time improved speed and retention. Timers always make work take longer. Reports should never be timed. Multitasking is essential for modern journalism.

Correct Answer:

Focusing on one task at a time improved speed and retention.

Question 3

In a magazine feature about citizen science, the writer notes: "Volunteers logged more moth sightings in one summer than professional entomologists had managed in the previous five years. Quantity, however, is not the same as quality control." What does the final sentence imply?

Large volumes of volunteer data still need careful verification. Professional entomologists should stop collecting data. Moth sightings are no longer scientifically useful. Volunteers are more accurate than professionals.

Correct Answer:

Large volumes of volunteer data still need careful verification.

Question 4

A blog about Nordic winter swimming opens: "The shock is not the cold itself; it is realising that the cold is negotiable—if you stop fighting it." What attitude toward cold does the writer convey?

Acceptance of the cold can make the experience manageable. Winter swimming is unsafe for beginners. The cold should always be avoided. Only competitive athletes can tolerate ice water.

Correct Answer:

Acceptance of the cold can make the experience manageable.

Question 5

Read the notice. University library — Temporary arrangement From 3–14 March the main reading room will be closed for roof repairs. Course reserves will be available at the service desk on Floor 2. Group study rooms remain open; silence rules still apply. Which statement is true according to the notice?

Course reserves move to the Floor 2 service desk during the repair period. Group study rooms will also be closed for two weeks. Silence rules are suspended until 14 March. The entire library is closed from 3–14 March.

Correct Answer:

Course reserves move to the Floor 2 service desk during the repair period.
