Physical injuries are an inherent risk when participating in sports activities. Whether
engaging in high-impact contact sports or individual athletic endeavours, the human body
is susceptible to various types of injuries. From minor bruises to severe fractures, sports-
related injuries can have both short-term and long-term effects on an individual's physical well-being.
One common type of injury in sports is sprains and strains. These occur when
ligaments or muscles/tendons are stretched or torn due to sudden movements or excessive
force. Sprained ankles, strained muscles, and ligament tears are frequent occurrences in
sports like basketball, soccer, and tennis.
Another prevalent injury is fractures, which are breaks or cracks in bones. These can
result from direct trauma, falls, or overuse. Fractures can range from hairline fractures to
complete breaks, requiring immediate medical attention and often necessitating a period of
immobilisation and rehabilitation.
Concussions, particularly in contact sports such as football or rugby, are also a
concern. A concussion is a traumatic brain injury caused by a sudden blow to the head,
resulting in symptoms like dizziness, confusion, and memory loss. Proper diagnosis and
adequate recovery time are crucial to prevent further complications.
Additionally, overuse injuries are prevalent in sports that involve repetitive motions.
Examples include tennis elbow, runner's knee, and stress fractures. These injuries occur
gradually over time due to excessive strain on specific body parts, often requiring rest,
physical therapy, and modifications in training routines.
Question 34. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Risks and Injuries Associated with Sports Activities
B. The Impact of Sports on Physical Well-being
C. Preventing Sports-related Injuries
D. The Importance of Proper Diagnosis in Sports Injuries
Question 35. According to paragraph 3, immobilisation is _______.
A. a common type of sports injury B. the result of direct trauma to the bones

A. sprained ankles, strained muscles, and ligament tears B. fractures
C. sports-related injuries
D. basketball, soccer, and tennis
Question 37. The word “crucial” in paragraph 4 mostly means _____.
A. insignificant B. essential C. harmful D. optional

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 45.
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. This natural process is what makes the
surface of the Earth warmer, making it possible for living things to survive. Greenhouse
gases can be classified into four major groups.
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) comes from the burning of fossil fuels and biological materials.
When it is absorbed by plants, it is removed from the atmosphere.
• Methane (CH4) is the by-product of the production and transportation of coal, natural
gas and oil, agricultural practices and the decay of organic waste.
• Nitrous oxide (N2O) is emitted during agricultural and industrial activities. It also
originates from wastewater treatment. It is absorbed by certain types of bacteria or
destroyed by ultraviolet radiation or chemical reactions. Methane is removed from
the atmosphere through natural processes in soil and chemical reactions in the
atmosphere. Methane’s lifetime in the atmosphere is much shorter than carbon
dioxide, but it is much more efficient at trapping radiation.
• Fluorinated gases (CFCs) have their origins in a variety of household, commercial and
industrial applications and processes. Fluorinated gases are in smaller quantities
than other greenhouse gases, but they are the most potent and longest lasting ones.
Fluorinated gases are removed from the atmosphere only when they are destroyed
by sunlight in the upper atmosphere.
Each of these gases remain in the atmosphere for a different amount of time, ranging from
a few years to thousands of years. They remain long enough to become well mixed,
meaning that the amount measured in the atmosphere is roughly the same all over the
world, regardless of the source of emission.
Question 39. The passage mainly discusses _______ of different greenhouse effects.
A. the source and the eradication B. the dangers and the benefits
C. the chemical processes D. the estimated amounts
Question 40. Wastewater treatment is the origin of _______.
A. CO2 B. CH4 C. N2O D. CFCs
Question 41. The word “emitted” is closest in meaning to _______.
A. stored B. used C. cleaned D. produced
Question 42. The word “it” refers to _______.
A. carbon dioxide B. lifetime C. atmosphere D. methane
Question 43. Which greenhouse gases are removed high up in the sky?
A. CO2 B. CH4 C. N2O D. CFCs
Question 44. The word “potent” is closest in meaning to _______.
A. efficient B. beneficial C. influential D. common
Question 45. Different greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere _______.
A. for the same amount of time B. for different lengths of time
C. for roughly twenty years D. for an unknown amount of time
