Read the following passage about the future of aerospace engineering and choose the best answer to each
of the following questions from 23 to 30.
The future of aerospace engineering is nothing short of dynamic. With rapid advancements in
technology and a growing global focus on sustainability, the field is poised for remarkable transformations.
From hypersonic travel to space tourism, the coming decades promise to redefine the very limits of air and
space exploration.
One of the most significant areas of innovation lies in the development of more sustainable aviation
practices. As concerns about climate change escalate, researchers and engineers are diligently working
towards reducing the environmental impact of air travel. This includes exploring alternative fuels, such as
biofuels and hydrogen, as well as designing more fuel-efficient aircraft with lighter materials and innovative
aerodynamic designs.
Space exploration is also undergoing a renaissance, with both government agencies and private
companies investing heavily in ambitious missions. The Artemis program, for instance, aims to establish a
sustainable presence on the Moon by the end of this decade, paving the way for future human missions to
Mars and beyond. These endeavors are driving the development of cutting-edge technologies, including
advanced robotics, autonomous spacecraft, and innovative propulsion systems.
Furthermore, the rise of commercial spaceflight and the increasing accessibility of space tourism are
opening up new frontiers for aerospace engineers. Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are developing
reusable launch vehicles that dramatically reduce the cost of space travel, making it more feasible to launch
satellites, conduct scientific research, and even send tourists into orbit. These advancements are not only
pushing the boundaries of technology but also inspiring a new generation of engineers and scientists to reach
for the stars.

Read the following passage about the ethical considerations surrounding animal rights and choose the
best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
The ethics of animal rights is a complex and evolving field, raising fundamental questions about our
relationship with other species. [I] Humans have long relied on animals for food, clothing, labor, and
companionship, but increasing awareness of animal sentience and suffering has fueled the debate about the
moral permissibility of these practices. [II] Philosophers, activists, and scientists grapple with questions like:
What obligations do we have to animals? [III] How do we balance human needs with animal welfare?
Answering these questions requires careful consideration of different ethical perspectives. [IV]
One prominent ethical framework relevant to animal rights is utilitarianism. This philosophy
emphasizes maximizing overall happiness and minimizing suffering. Applying this to animals suggests that
our actions should consider their capacity for both. If an action causes more animal suffering than human
benefit, it would be considered ethically wrong. For instance, factory farming practices that confine animals
in cramped, unsanitary conditions cause immense suffering, and utilitarians might argue that these practices
are unethical even if they provide a cheap source of protein for humans.
Another influential perspective is rights-based ethics. This framework argues that certain beings, by
virtue of their inherent qualities, possess fundamental rights that should be respected regardless of the
consequences. Animal rights advocates, like philosopher Tom Regan, argue that sentient animals, possessing
self-awareness and the capacity to experience pain and pleasure, deserve basic rights, including the right to
life, liberty, and freedom from torture. This perspective challenges the traditional view of animals as mere
property or resources for human use.
The debate over animal rights is far from settled. Different ethical perspectives offer conflicting
answers, and the practical implications of granting animals extensive rights are complex. However, the
increasing focus on animal welfare has led to tangible changes, such as improved conditions for farm
animals, stricter regulations on animal testing, and growing support for plant-based diets. The ongoing
dialogue encourages us to critically examine our interactions with animals and strive for a more ethical and
compassionate relationship with the non-human world.
Question 31. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
“Do they deserve the same rights as humans?”
A. I B. II C. III D. IV
Question 32. The phrase "relied on" in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by ______.
A. leaned upon B. counted upon C. depended upon D. drawn upon
Question 33. The word "these" in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. a cheap source of protein B. unsanitary conditions
C. factory farming practices D. cramped conditions
Question 34. According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT a utilitarian concern?
A. animal suffering B. overall happiness
C. human benefit D. inherent animal rights
Question 35. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
A. Animal rights advocates believe that animals deserve better treatment and should not be subjected to
unnecessary suffering or exploitation.
B. Philosophers like Tom Regan champion animal rights and oppose the view of animals as resources,
advocating for ethical treatment.
C. Rights-based ethics argues that sentient animals, like humans, have inherent rights, including the right to
life and freedom from suffering, challenging their treatment as property.
D. Sentient animals' capacity for pain and pleasure grants them fundamental rights that must be
acknowledged and protected.
Question 36. The word "self-awareness" in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.
A. unawareness B. innocence C. ignorance D. obliviousness
Question 37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Rights-based ethics is universally accepted in the field of animal ethics.
B. The passage primarily focuses on the economic impact of animal agriculture.
C. Utilitarianism prioritizes animal rights over potential human benefits.
D. The discussion around animal rights has resulted in positive changes in animal welfare.
Question 38. Which of the following best paraphrases the first sentence in paragraph 4?
A. The question of animal rights has many facets, creating significant challenges for practical application.
B. The complex animal rights debate is far from over, with differing ethical stances and challenging practical
consequences.
C. The animal rights debate is unresolved, with varied ethical viewpoints and complex practical
ramifications.
D. The issue of animal rights remains contentious, prompting diverse ethical arguments and implementation
difficulties.
Question 39. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Factory farming remains the most ethically sound method of food production despite animal welfare
concerns.
B. The concept of animal sentience is universally understood and accepted in scientific communities.
C. Completely adopting animal rights philosophies would necessitate significant changes in human behavior
and practices.
D. Utilitarian ethics provides a clear and straightforward solution to the complexities of animal rights issues.
Question 40. Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. Examining the ethics of animal rights involves weighing human needs against animal suffering, with
utilitarianism and rights-based ethics offering contrasting perspectives on animal treatment and the morality
of current practices.
B. Growing awareness of animal sentience has intensified the debate around our treatment of animals, with
utilitarianism and rights-based ethics providing frameworks for evaluating human actions, resulting in
evolving practices and continuous ethical discussions.
C. The complex debate surrounding animal rights explores ethical frameworks like utilitarianism and
rights-based ethics, raising questions about our obligations to animals and the balance between human needs
and animal welfare, prompting changes in practices and ongoing dialogue.
D. Philosophical discussions about animal rights consider various viewpoints, including utilitarianism and
rights-based ethics, questioning our responsibilities towards animals and the implications of prioritizing
human interests over animal welfare.
