Russia is on track to introduce its first cancer vaccine by early 2025, marking a significant milestone in
medical innovation. This vaccine is developed by a Russian team in collaboration with major research
institutions, including the Moscow State University and the Cancer Research Institute. It uses cutting-edge
mRNA technology, which has already proven effective in COVID-19 vaccines, to target specific tumor cells
and stimulate the body’s immune response to fight cancer more effectively.
The vaccine is currently undergoing the final stages of clinical trials. These trials are designed to evaluate
its safety and efficacy in treating certain types of cancers, particularly those related to lung and liver, which are
among the most common globally. Preliminary results suggest that this vaccine could significantly improve
survival rates and reduce recurrence risks for cancer patients, bringing hope to millions worldwide.
However, accessibility and affordability remain critical concerns. Experts highlight the potential
challenge of high production costs, which may limit access to this life-saving innovation in lower-income
regions. To address this, Russia is exploring partnerships with global health organizations and pharmaceutical
companies to scale production and distribution. This effort aims to make the vaccine available to a broader
population and integrate it into public health systems.
The introduction of this vaccine aligns with the growing global momentum in cancer prevention
and treatment. Similar initiatives, such as trials conducted by BioNTech in the UK, underline the global effort
to combat cancer with advanced technologies. If successful, Russia’s vaccine could complement these efforts,
marking a new era in the fight against one of the world’s leading causes of death.

Read the following passage about powering 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.
Urbanization, the process of people moving from rural areas to cities, is a significant aspect of global
development. This migration is often motivated by the pursuit of better employment opportunities, education,
healthcare, and overall living conditions available in urban areas. However, the relationship between rural and
urban areas, known as rural-urban linkages, is equally important.
Rural-urban linkages are the connections and interactions between rural and urban areas. These linkages
involve the flow of people, goods, services, information, and capital between these regions. For instance, rural
areas supply cities with essential resources like food, water, and raw materials, while urban areas provide rural
communities with markets, technology, and services. Effective linkages can stimulate economic growth, reduce
poverty, and improve living standards in both rural and urban areas.
The benefits of strong rural-urban linkages are manifold [I]. They can help diversify economies, create
jobs, and enhance access to services such as education and healthcare[II]. Furthermore, they can promote
sustainable development by balancing growth and reducing inequalities between rural and urban regions. [III]
Improved infrastructure, such as transportation and communication networks, plays a critical role in
strengthening these linkages, enabling easier and more efficient exchanges. [IV]
However, there are challenges to fostering effective rural-urban linkages. In many developing countries,
inadequate infrastructure, limited access to technology, and poor policy coordination hinder these connections.
Addressing these challenges requires comprehensive strategies that include investments in infrastructure,
supportive policies, and inclusive planning. For example, enhancing transportation networks can facilitate
better access to markets for rural producers, while improving digital connectivity can bridge information
gaps.
In conclusion, understanding and enhancing rural-urban linkages is crucial for inclusive and sustainable
development. By promoting stronger connections between rural and urban areas, we can create more resilient,
prosperous, and balanced communities, ultimately contributing to overall national development and improved
quality of life for all.
