THE WORLD'S FIRST GPS
On a stormy night in 1707, four ships struck rocks off the south coast of England and sank. One
thousand, four hundred sailors were drowned. The ships had crashed because they had no way of knowing how
far they had travelled in a particular direction; they could not calculate their longitude, which required
accurate time
measurement. (18) . In such difficult circumstances, they believed that the best response to the
disaster was a competition: the Longitude Prize.
The Longitude Prize was no ordinary competition. (19) . Geniuses such as Sir Isaac Newton
had failed to find a solution, so to ensure the interest of Britain's greatest scientific minds, the government
offered a prize of £20,000 - the equivalent of £2.6 million in today's money. But to everyone's surprise, it wasn't
a famous academic who solved the problem, but an unknown carpenter. When John Harrison wasn't working
with wood,
(20) . An accurate clock would allow sailors to calculate their position, but at the time it was thought
impossible to create a mechanical clock (21) . The movement of the sea and the changes in
temperature destroyed the delicate parts. However, after three frustrated attempts, Harrison's fourth sea clock,
H4, finally triumphed. Its mechanics were so good that the H14 worked better than most clocks on land.
The Longitude Prize and Harrison's success (22) . However, in 2013, the British government
created a new Longitude Prize, offering £10 million to the person who could solve a great challenge to
humanity. (Adapted from Friends Global)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that
best fits each of the numbered blanks.

Urbanization refers to the process through which cities grow and expand as more people move from
rural to urban areas. This phenomenon is driven by various factors, including economic opportunities,
educational facilities, and healthcare services, which often attract individuals seeking better living standards. As
cities become more populated, they undergo significant transformations in infrastructure, including housing,
transportation, and public services.

The rise in urban populations can lead to both positive and negative outcomes. On the positive side,
urbanization can stimulate economic development, innovation, and cultural exchange. It often brings
improvements in living standards and provides better access to services and amenities. However, rapid urban
growth can also strain existing infrastructure, leading to issues such as overcrowding, pollution, and inadequate
public services. These challenges can impact the quality of life in urban areas and require careful planning and
management.

Effective urban planning is crucial to mitigating the negative effects of urbanization. This includes
creating sustainable infrastructure, managing resources efficiently, and ensuring equitable access to services for
all residents. By addressing these challenges, cities can harness the benefits of urbanization while improving the
overall quality of urban life.

GENDER EQUALITY TODAY

Gender equality is a fundamental human right and a critical foundation for a peaceful, prosperous, and
sustainable world. I Despite significant progress in recent years, gender inequality remains a pressing issue
across the globe. II Women continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions and face
numerous barriers in various sectors, including education, healthcare, and the workforce. III According to the
World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2021, it will take an estimated 135.6 years to close the
gender gap globally if current trends continue. IV

In many countries, women are still subjected to discrimination and violence. Gender-based violence,
including domestic violence and sexual harassment, affects millions of women worldwide and
hinders their ability to participate fully in society. Additionally, cultural and societal norms often perpetuate
stereotypes that limit women's roles and opportunities.

However, there are positive signs of change. Movements advocating for gender equality have
gained momentum, and more individuals are recognizing the importance of women's rights. Governments and
organizations are implementing policies to promote equal opportunities and protect against discrimination.
Education plays a vital role in this transformation, as empowering girls through education can lead to improved
economic outcomes and healthier communities.

Achieving gender equality is not only a matter of fairness; it is essential for the advancement
of society as a whole. By ensuring equal rights and opportunities for all genders, we can create a more just
and equitable world.
