Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer
to each of the following questions from 1 to 8.
In 2025, the world’s oceans absorbed colossal amounts of heat, breaking yet another global record and
intensifying climate-related disasters. Scientists confirm that oceans take in more than 90% of excess heat
produced by human carbon emissions, making ocean heat a critical indicator of the climate crisis. Since the
start of the new millennium, nearly every year has set a fresh record, reflecting what Professor John Abraham
calls a “broken record” of relentless global warming.
This accumulated heat is driving increasingly severe consequences. Warmer seas amplify hurricanes
and typhoons, trigger heavier rainfall, and exacerbate flooding in vulnerable coastal regions. Prolonged marine
heatwaves are undermining ocean biodiversity, while thermal expansion is accelerating sea level rise.
Furthermore, regions like the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean are becoming saltier and more acidic,
placing immense pressure on fragile marine ecosystems. Researchers estimate that current ocean temperature
is likely the highest in at least 1,000 years, and they warn that such warming signals a profound transformation
in the Earth’s climate system.
Unlike the oceans, the atmosphere holds far less heat and is more susceptible to natural variations such
as the El Nino-La Nina cycle. While surface air temperature fluctuates- with 2025 expected to tie as the
second-hottest year on record- ocean heat content continues to climb steadily. Experts stress that “global
warming is ocean warming,” and that understanding future trends requires monitoring changes
beneath the surface.
Published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, the findings are based on global ocean temperature
data measuring heat in the upper 2,000 metres, where most warming occurs. The absorbed energy equals
hundreds of times annual global electricity use. Warming is uneven, with sharp increases in the Atlantic,
Pacific, and Southern Ocean, threatening polar ice. Scientists stress that future impacts depend on urgent
human action to cut emissions.
Question 1. The word colossal in paragraph 1 mostly means _________.
A. insignificant
B. traditional

underground.
B. Scientists believe that surface air temperature alone can reliably indicate future global warming trends.
C. Future climate trends can be easily understood by focusing on how global warming affects the Earth’s
atmosphere.
D. Specialists emphasize that the essence of global warming lies in the oceans, making deep-sea data vital for
future predictions.
Question 5. The word “amplify” in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _________.
A. strengthen
B. weaken
C. maintain
D. increase
Question 6. Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 4?

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer
to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
In recent years, there has been an outpouring of published research and reports regarding the impact
of buildings on the natural environment. While this information promotes green construction and its efficacy,
these documents seldom offer practical advice to practitioners, such as mechanical and electrical engineers,
on how to apply this knowledge. Furthermore, while “green” and “sustainable” are often used interchangeably,
they differ significantly. Sustainability focuses on minimizing long-term, irreversible environmental impacts,
whereas some green measures, such as ensuring indoor air quality, may improve occupant wellbeing without
necessarily affecting the broader ecological balance.
Although many architects advocate for sustainable design, the driving force behind its implementation
is the project owner. If the owner prioritizes upfront costs over environmental impact, green features are
unlikely to be factored into the design. Therefore, the commissioning process is vital to ensure the owner
receives a building that meets their expectations regarding design, cost, and risk. At the pre-design stage, by
documenting objectives, the team establishes a solid foundation and a specific benchmark against which costs
and environmental performance can be judged.
Owners who bypass commissioning or ignore green issues often face significant setbacks once the
building is operational. [I] Although materials may initially appear adequate, higher maintenance costs and
dissatisfied occupants frequently follow, leading to increased ownership costs. Firms should not assume that
a client already has a preconceived idea of a building’s “greenness.” Indeed, this initial interaction between
the owner and the firm is the ideal time for a designer to outline and promote how green design can meet the
client’s objectives. [II]
Typically, when considering a green approach, owners inquire about additional costs and return on
investment. [III] Many of these expenses arise from the increased cooperation required between stakeholders,
including owners, designers, and contractors. Since green design demands seamless interaction from the
outset, this coordination requires additional expenditure. [IV] While a client may initially balk at these fees,
the project team must assess the desired level of involvement and provide a commensurate service to prove
the long-term value.
Ultimately, choosing a greener design offers clear financial advantages. Case studies demonstrate that
sustainable buildings incur lower long-term operational and ownership costs. Additionally, regional tax credits
and rebates are often available to offset initial investments, making environmentally friendly design a fiscally
sound decision.
Question 31. According to paragraph 1, what is a primary limitation of current research on green construction?
A. It focuses too heavily on mechanical and electrical engineering principles.
B. It incorrectly suggests that green and sustainable are synonymous terms.
C. It often neglects to provide actionable guidance for industry professionals.
D. It fails to adequately prove the efficacy of sustainable building materials.
Question 32. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?
A. The crucial role of project owners and the commissioning process in achieving sustainable design.
B. The conflict between architects and owners regarding the environmental impact of buildings.
C. The necessity of reducing upfront costs to make green features more appealing to investors.
D. The importance of documentation in minimizing the risks associated with modern architecture.
Question 33. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of bypassing the commissioning
process?
A. Rising expenditures for building upkeep.
B. Facing dissatisfaction among building occupants.
C. An overall increase in ownership costs.
D. A notable reduction in the number of occupants.
Question 34. The word “balk at” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. hesitate over
B. reconcile with
C. inquire about
D. approve of
Question 35. The word “its” in paragraph 2 refers to _________.
A. driving force
B. project owner
C. sustainable design
D. implementation
Question 36. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Cooperation between owners and designers is the primary factor in reducing construction expenditures.
B. A significant portion of costs stems from the intensified collaboration needed among all parties involved.
C. Stakeholders often disagree on how to distribute the expenses of green building initiatives.
D. Total project costs are mostly driven by the high fees charged by designers and contractors.
Question 37. According to the passage, the additional costs associated with green buildings are mainly due to
_________.
A. increased coordination between construction teams
B. higher long-term operational costs
C. higher taxes incurred on sustainable buildings
D. the higher cost of green construction materials
Question 38. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Financial incentives provided by regional authorities are primary prerequisites for initiating sustainable
projects.
B. Adopting “green” measures does not automatically ensure the long-term preservation of ecological balance.
C. Project owners who prioritize upfront costs are typically more aware of the long-term risks of building
ownership.
D. The lack of practical advice in published research stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of
engineering principles.
Question 39. Where in the passage does the following sentence best fit?
“As a result, a project originally not destined for green design can become a potential candidate.”
A. [I]
B. [IV]
C. [III]
D. [II]
Question 40. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A. While sustainable construction involves higher upfront costs and complex stakeholder coordination, long-
term financial viability and owner-led commissioning ultimately justify its adoption.
B. The passage emphasizes government incentives, tax rebates, and financial subsidies as the primary reasons
owners increasingly choose environmentally friendly building designs.
C. The passage argues that sustainable construction remains impractical because high initial costs and complex
coordination discourage most owners and project teams.
D. The passage mainly examines technical strategies engineers use to implement green construction, focusing
less on owners, commissioning processes, or financial decision-making.
