Read the following 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 23 to 30.
Chronic inflammation contributes to many health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and
some cancers. An anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats
helps fight inflammation. These diets include foods with antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids,
while limiting processed foods, refined sugars, and saturated fats. Studies show that these eating
patterns may reduce inflammatory markers and lower disease risk.
The Mediterranean diet is a good example of anti-inflammatory eating that has been well-
studied. It includes olive oil, nuts, fish, and many plant foods with anti-inflammatory properties.
The DASH diet and traditional Asian diets have similar benefits. People following these diets
show lower levels of inflammatory markers compared to those eating typical Western diets.
Research indicates that the combination of various nutrients working together provides greater
benefits than individual supplements alone.
Adopting anti-inflammatory eating habits requires gradual changes, not strict diets. Experts
suggest starting with small steps, like adding more vegetables to meals or choosing nuts and fruits
as snacks. Drinking enough water and regular exercise enhance these benefits. People with health
conditions should talk to doctors before changing their diet. Meal planning and preparation can
make the transition easier and more sustainable for long-term success.
Anti-inflammatory diets offer protection against age-related diseases when followed
long-term. People in regions with these traditional diets have fewer chronic conditions and live
longer. Diet is just one part of health, though. Managing stress, getting enough sleep, and
avoiding tobacco are also important. As research advances, nutrition advice may become more
personalized based on genetics and individual needs. The growing field of nutrigenomics studies
how food interacts with our genes.

Read the following 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 31 to 40.
Chronic stress has emerged as a significant factor in accelerating cellular aging, particularly
through its effects on telomeres—protective caps at the end of chromosomes that shorten with
age. When individuals are under the weather due to prolonged stress, their bodies produce
excessive cortisol, which can damage cellular structures and accelerate the aging process.
Research has shown that people with high stress levels often exhibit shorter telomeres, which is
associated with various age-related diseases including cardiovascular problems, diabetes, and
cognitive decline.
[I] Mindfulness meditation represents one of the most thoroughly researched stress
reduction approaches with documented benefits for cellular health. [II] This practice involves
focusing one’s attention on the present moment without judgment, which helps break the cycle of
rumination that often characterizes chronic stress. [III] A study found that participants who
completed an eight-week mindfulness program showed significant increases in telomerase
activity—an enzyme that helps rebuild telomeres. Physical exercise constitutes another powerful
intervention, with both aerobic and resistance training shown to boost telomerase activity. [IV]
Sleep quality plays a crucial role in stress management and cellular repair processes.
During deep sleep phases, the body engages in essential maintenance activities, including DNA
repair mechanisms that help preserve telomere length. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia
has shown promise in improving sleep quality. Dietary interventions also merit consideration,
with Mediterranean and plant-based diets rich in antioxidants appearing to support telomere
preservation. These approaches work synergistically—combining multiple stress management
techniques typically yields more significant benefits than any single method alone.
The implications of this research extend beyond individual health to public policy and
healthcare systems. As evidence accumulates regarding the cellular impact of chronic stress,
medical professionals increasingly recognize stress management as a legitimate clinical
intervention rather than merely a lifestyle choice. Workplace wellness programs that incorporate
stress reduction techniques have shown promising results in improving employee health markers.
While more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between stress management
and cellular aging, the existing evidence suggests that how we respond to life's challenges may
significantly influence our biological aging trajectory.
31: The phrase “under the weather” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by ______.
A. stressed out B. burned out C. worn down D. broken down
32: The word “their” in paragraph 1 refers to ______.

33: Where in paragraph 2 does the following sentence best fit? Additionally, maintaining strong
social connections can buffer against stress-induced cellular damage.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
34: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of stress management techniques?
A. Reduced healthcare costs B. Increased telomerase activity
C. Improved sleep quality D. Preservation of telomere length
35: Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
A. Cognitive behavioral therapy effectively treats insomnia, while Mediterranean diets provide
antioxidants that repair DNA and preserve telomeres during deep sleep cycles.
B. Multiple stress management techniques should be implemented simultaneously rather than
individually to maximize cellular repair and telomere preservation benefits.
C. Quality sleep enables DNA repair during deep phases, while therapies and dietary changes
support telomere health, with combined approaches yielding optimal benefits.
D. Deep sleep activates maintenance processes that Mediterranean diets enhance, making
cognitive behavioral therapy unnecessary for those with proper sleep habits.
36: The word “maintenance” in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.
A. preservation B. restoration C. conservation D. deterioration
37: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. This research impacts not only personal wellbeing but also influences governmental
regulations and medical institutions.
B. Personal health findings have prompted new investigations into policy reform and healthcare
delivery improvements.
C. Individual health concerns are increasingly being addressed through policy changes and
healthcare system modifications.
D. The findings primarily affect personal health outcomes but may eventually influence policy
and healthcare decisions.
38: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Cognitive behavioral therapy has proven more effective than dietary interventions for
preserving telomere length in clinical trials.
B. Workplace wellness programs have consistently demonstrated significant reductions in
healthcare costs across all industries.
C. Participants who completed an eight-week mindfulness program showed significant increases
in telomerase activity that helps rebuild telomeres.
D. Research conclusively establishes that aerobic exercise contributes more to telomerase activity
than maintaining social connections.
39: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Mediterranean diets have been scientifically proven more effective than plant-based diets for
preventing telomere shortening.
B. Workplace wellness programs focusing on mindfulness meditation produce better health
outcomes than exercise-based interventions.
C. Genetic factors play a more significant role in determining telomere length than lifestyle
factors or stress management techniques.
D. Our emotional responses to stressful situations have measurable biological effects that can
accelerate or slow cellular aging processes.
40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. Chronic stress accelerates cellular aging through telomere shortening, while interventions like
mindfulness, exercise, sleep quality, and diet can mitigate this damage and influence biological
aging trajectories.
B. Telomeres protect chromosomes but shorten with age, causing diseases like cardiovascular
problems and diabetes, which can be prevented through mindfulness meditation and workplace
wellness programs.
C. Medical research shows mindfulness meditation increases telomerase activity more effectively
than exercise, sleep, or diet, leading to professional recognition of stress management as clinical
intervention.
D. Healthcare systems should incorporate stress reduction techniques into public policy as
legitimate clinical interventions rather than viewing them as lifestyle choices to improve
population health outcomes.

Read the following 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 23 to 30.
Regenerative medicine is a promising healthcare field today that continues to advance
rapidly. It focuses on repairing damaged tissues through cellular therapies and tissue engineering
developed by researchers worldwide. Scientists are making significant progress growing tissues
from stem cells, which can become different cell types when properly stimulated. These
remarkable advances offer genuine hope for millions of patients with age-related conditions
previously considered untreatable by conventional medical approaches.
The process begins with carefully collecting stem cells from embryonic tissues, adult
tissues, or through innovative cellular reprogramming techniques. These specialized cells grow in
sophisticated laboratories that precisely mimic natural body conditions. Skilled researchers use
specific growth factors and biocompatible scaffolds to guide cells into becoming functional
tissues with appropriate structures. The ultimate goal is creating viable tissues for successful
transplantation without immune rejection, which remains a significant challenge for medical
professionals in this evolving field.
Regenerative medicine faces several substantial obstacles despite its tremendous potential.
Ethical issues regarding stem cell sources have caused intense debates among scientists,
policymakers, and religious organizations globally. The prohibitively high research costs
significantly limit treatment accessibility for average patients. Regulatory frameworks differ
dramatically across countries, creating inconsistent approval processes that hinder progress.
However, dedicated researchers firmly believe these challenging barriers can be overcome
through continuous innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration among medical specialties.
The potential impact on aging populations could be truly revolutionary in coming
decades. As global demographics shift toward older populations, demand for effective treatments
for age-related conditions will inevitably rise. Debilitating diseases like heart disease, diabetes,
Parkinson's, and arthritis might eventually be treated by replacing damaged tissues with custom
lab-grown alternatives. This transformative approach could fundamentally change healthcare
from merely managing chronic conditions to potentially curing them, substantially extending both
lifespan and health span—the valuable period of life spent in good health without significant
disease.

Read the following 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 31 to 40.
Spending time in nature is good for our health. Many studies show that being in parks,
forests, or near water makes people feel better. When we walk in green spaces, our stress levels
go down. Our blood pressure also becomes lower. Getting outdoors regularly is truly worth its
weight in gold for our overall wellbeing. Even looking at pictures of nature can help us feel
calmer. Doctors now sometimes tell patients to spend time outside as part of their treatment.
Research indicates these benefits occur across all age groups worldwide.
Physical health improves when we have access to nature. [I] People who live near parks
often exercise more. [II] They walk, run, or ride bikes on paths and trails. Getting sunshine helps
our bodies make vitamin D, which keeps our bones strong. [III] Children who play outside
regularly are less likely to become overweight and may have better eyesight. [IV] Natural
surroundings also strengthen our immune systems against common illnesses.
Mental health benefits from nature are clear too. Time in natural settings can reduce
feelings of anxiety and depression. Students who study with a view of trees or plants can focus
better. Office workers with plants nearby report feeling happier at work. After difficult life
events, people often find comfort in quiet natural places. The sounds of birds singing or water
flowing create a peaceful feeling that helps the mind rest. These experiences stimulate production
of feel-good hormones in our brains.
Scientists continue to discover new ways that nature helps us. Hospital patients who can
see trees from their windows often recover faster than those who cannot. Elderly people who
garden regularly tend to live longer. Communities with more green spaces have lower crime rates
in many cases. As our world becomes more digital, the healing power of nature becomes even
more important. Making parks and natural areas available to everyone should be a priority for
healthy communities. Even short nature breaks can counteract negative effects of technology use.
31: The phrase “worth its weight in gold” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by ______.
A. breaks down B. pays off C. looks up D. falls through
32: The word “their” in paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. doctors B. pictures C. studies D. patients
33: Where in paragraph 2 does the following sentence best fit?
Fresh air is cleaner than indoor air in many places.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
34: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of nature in the passage?
A. Lower blood pressure B. Reduced anxiety and depression
C. Improved sleep quality D. Strengthened immune system
35: Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
A. Exposure to natural settings improves mental health by reducing negative emotions, enhancing
focus, providing comfort, and stimulating beneficial hormones.
B. Nature sounds like birds and water create peaceful environments that help students focus on
academic work and improve overall test scores.
C. Office productivity increases dramatically when plants are added to workspaces as they create
visual interest and filter toxins from indoor environments.
D. People experiencing trauma should seek treatment in outdoor settings rather than traditional
therapy since nature provides superior healing benefits.
36: The word “depression” in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.
A. isolation B. anxiety C. fatigue D. contentment
37: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
