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 17 to 24.
 Amidst a global fossil fuel crisis, Australia faces a significant inflection point regarding its energy 
future. For years, the fossil fuel sector has employed deceptive tactics, such as "astroturfing" and false 
advertising, to manipulate public opinion and create division. These distortions have often hidden the 
country's unique opportunity to control its abundant sun and wind resources. However, recent 
international supply shocks have clearly illustrated the economic vulnerability and fragility caused by a 
reliance on traditional energy sources.
 The transition to clean energy is increasingly viewed not just as a moral concern, but as an 
essential security policy. Unlike fossil fuels, renewable energy sources cannot be blockaded or 
weaponised by foreign powers; as noted by the UN, they are not subject to price spikes for sunlight or 
embargos on the wind. In countries like Germany, this desire for economic stability and independence is 
driving a massive boost in onshore wind projects. Similarly, the UK is implementing policies to require 
rooftop solar and heat pumps for all new homes by 2028.
 In Australia, the potential for a systematic shift is immense, especially since cities like Brisbane 
receive more than double the sunlight of London. Strategic investments in renewables are expected to 
inject $68 billion into the economy over the next five years. Every home battery and electric vehicle 
installed contributes to a more resilient electricity grid and reduces financial exposure to volatile 
global markets.
 To secure this future, advocates must speak collectively and urgently to reclaim the narrative. By 
framing the clean energy transition in terms of financial benefits and economic stability, rather than just 
environmental concern, it becomes much more appealing to the general public. Ultimately, accelerating 
the shift to renewables is the only way to ensure a sustainable and secure economy that remains protected 
from future global volatility.
 (Adapted from https://www.theguardian.com)
Question 17. The word distortions in paragraph 1 mostly means ______.
A. deviations B. explanations C. improvements D. modifications
Question 18. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2 as a reason clean energy is 
viewed as a "security policy"?
A. It requires expensive international supply lines. B. It is not subject to price spikes for sunlight.
C. It cannot be weaponized like fossil fuels. D. It cannot be blockaded by foreign powers. Question 19. The word they in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. fossil fuels B. foreign powers
C. renewable energy sources D. price spikes
Question 20. The word immense in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.
A. monumental B. insignificant C. systematic D. enormous
Question 21. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
A. Utilizing domestic energy storage and electric cars helps stabilize the power network and lessens the 
impact of global price fluctuations.
B. International markets become less volatile only when households install batteries and buy electric 
vehicles.
C. The resilience of the electricity grid is threatened by the high cost of home batteries and electric 
vehicles in global markets.
D. Global market exposure is increased whenever households choose to install new energy-saving 
technologies.
Question 22. Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 3?
A. Australian cities such as Brisbane receive significantly less annual sunlight than cities like London.
B. Australian economy is expected to invest $68 million in renewable energy projects.

Question 24. Which paragraph mentions the deceptive tactics used by the fossil fuel sector to influence 
the public?
A. Paragraph 4 B. Paragraph 1 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 2
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 25 to 34.
 The United Kingdom is currently dealing with a serious green skills gap, a structural bottleneck 
that threatens the transition toward a circular economy and the attainment of net-zero targets. Despite the 
existence of a substantial pool of hundreds of thousands of unemployed graduates, a stark misalignment 
persists between academic output and industry requirements. This discrepancy is exacerbated by an 
ageing workforce and an increasing demand for advanced digital and data capabilities; yet, the sector 
remains hamstrung by its inability to effectively bridge this green skills gap between available talent and 
evolving technical requirements [I].
 This deficit is rooted in multifaceted barriers to entry, chief among them being a pervasive 
reputational stigma. The waste management sector is frequently misconstrued as a domain of manual 
labour rather than a hub for professional consultancy, compliance, and technological innovation. 
Consequently, many high-calibre candidates overlook these career pathways, deterred by a lack of 
visibility and the daunting "experience trap"- whereby entry-level roles paradoxically demand beforehand work experience. [II] Furthermore, the long and uncertain nature of graduate recruitment processes often 
drives prospective recruits away from environmental sectors before they can secure a foothold [III].
 Addressing this disconnect necessitates a holistic, whole-career approach rather than 
piecemeal interventions. [IV] While intern programmes and practical placements offer vital channels for 
entry, long-term success hinges on robust collaboration between academia, industry, and regulators. 
Strategic initiatives, such as those identifying future-facing skills in artificial intelligence and resource 
efficiency, aim to recalibrate educational provisions with actual industry demand. Ultimately, unless the 
sector can successfully demystify its roles and narrow the green skills gap, the structural reform required 
for a sustainable future will remain frustratingly out of reach.
 (Adapted from https://www.circularonline.co.uk)

paradox because ______.
A. it persists despite the availability of a significant graduate talent pool
B. academic output has successfully met industry requirements for a circular economy
C. it has speeded up the attainment of net-zero targets despite structural bottlenecks
D. the growing demand for digital data has outpaced the aging workforce's capabilities
Question 26. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 1?
A. Structural bottlenecks are primarily caused by the existing talent pool failing to satisfy industry 
imperatives.
B. Attaining net-zero targets is impossible without first addressing the aging workforce in the UK.
C. Digital and data capabilities are the only factors currently impeding the green sector.
D. A fundamental disconnect exists between educational output and the technical needs of the industry.
Question 27. The word stigma in paragraph 2 mostly means ______.
A. difficulty B. priority C. belief D. dishonor
Question 28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2 as a factor preventing candidates 
from entering the sector?
A. Misconceptions regarding the professional and innovative nature of the work.
B. A lack of clarity regarding the professional opportunities available to graduates.
C. The lack of competitive salaries compared to consultancy roles.
D. Recruitment cycles that are perceived as being overly long or unpredictable.
Question 29. The word they in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. environmental sectors B. recruitment processes C. prospective recruits D. entry-level roles
Question 30. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
A. Resolving the misalignment requires comprehensive, lifelong strategies instead of fragmented, small-
scale efforts.
B. Not until piecemeal interventions are abandoned can the sector adopt a holistic approach to career 
development.
C. A holistic approach is necessary to ensure that piecemeal interventions do not threaten long-term 
success. D. Only by focusing on separate, individual interventions can the whole-career disconnect be properly 
addressed.
Question 31. According to the passage, the view that the waste management sector is a domain of manual 
labour is mentioned as ______.
A. a strategic branding choice to attract high-calibre candidates
B. a structural requirement for the transition to a sustainable future
C. a pervasive industry perception reflecting the sector's traditional operational focus
D. a widespread assumption that belies the sector's professional complexities
Question 32. Which of the following can be inferred from the discussion of the "experience trap"?
A. Young graduates are unwilling to accept entry-level roles due to a lack of professional exposure.
B. The industry prioritizes practical manual labour over professional consultancy experience.
C. Entry-level positions are often inaccessible to the very demographic they are intended for.
D. Prior professional exposure is only valuable if gained within the circular economy.
Question 33. Where in the passage does the following sentence best fit?
 This negative perception creates a psychological barrier that prevents top-tier students from even 
 considering environmental engineering.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 34. Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. Overcoming the green skills gap requires aligning education with industry and reforming recruitment 
perceptions.
B. The UK's green transition is failing primarily because graduates lack the digital skills required for AI.
C. Securing structural reform for a sustainable future requires successfully demystifying all professional 
industry roles.
D. The sector must abandon its focus on professional consultancy to attract the unemployed graduate 
pool.
