OFFICER: Good morning. What can I do for you?
LOUISE: I want to report a theft. I had some things stolen out of my bag yesterday.
OFFICER: I'm sorry to hear that. Right, so I'll need to take a few details. Can I start with your name?
LOUISE: Louise Taylor.
OFFICER: OK, thank you. And are you resident in the UK?
LOUISE: No, I'm actually Canadian. Though my mother was British.
OFFICER: And your date of birth?
LOUISE: December 14th, 1977.
OFFICER: So you're just visiting this country?
LOUISE: That's right. I come over most summers on business. I'm an interior designer and I come over to buy old furniture, antiques you know.
OFFICER: OK. So you've been here quite a while?
LOUISE: Yes, I'm here for two months. I go back next week.
OFFICER: So may I ask where you're staying now?
LOUISE: Well at present I've got a place at Park Apartments, that's on King Street. I was staying at the Riverside Apartments on the same street, but the apartment there was only available for six weeks so I had to find another one.
OFFICER: OK. And the apartment number?
LOUISE: Fifteen.
OFFICER: Now, I need to take some details of the theft. So you said you had some things stolen out of your bag?
LOUISE: That's right.
OFFICER: And were you actually carrying the bag when the theft took place?
LOUISE: Yes, I really can't understand it. I had my backpack on.
OFFICER: And what did your wallet have in it?
LOUISE: Well, fortunately I don't keep my credit cards in that wallet – I keep them with my passport in an inside compartment in my backpack. But there was quite a bit of cash there … about £250 sterling, I should think.
LOUISE: At first I thought, oh I must have left the wallet back in the apartment, but then I realised my phone had gone as well.
OFFICER: Yes. So you say the theft occurred yesterday?
LOUISE: Yes.
OFFICER: So that was September the tenth. And do you have any idea at all of where or when the things might possibly have been stolen?
LOUISE: Well at first I couldn't believe it because the bag had been on my back ever since I left the apartment after lunch. Anyway, I met up with a friend, and we spent a couple of hours in the museum. But I do remember that as we were leaving there, at about 4 o'clock, a group of young boys ran up to us, and they were really crowding round us, and they were asking us what time it was, then all of a sudden they ran off.
OFFICER: The one who did most of the talking was wearing a T-shirt with a picture of a tiger.
OFFICER: Colour of hair?
LOUISE: I do remember that – he was blond. All the others were dark-haired.
OFFICER: Right. So what I'm going to do now is give you a crime reference number so you can contact your insurance company. So this is ten digits: 87954 82361.

Monica: Hi Jonathan. So, the holidays are over, back to school again…
Jonathan: I know, but I had a great one this year.
Monica: Where did you go?
Jonathan: Well, my mother loves Canada and Dad really wanted to visit Brazil, but we finally booked flights to the USA.
Monica: Lucky you! How long did you stay there?

III. READING — Work paradigm MCQ (51–60)

Choose A, B, C or D.

In the twenty-first century, the paradigm of work is undergoing a profound metamorphosis, precipitated by technological innovation and shifting socio-economic dynamics. Remote work, once a niche arrangement, has become mainstream for many industries. While it offers flexibility and reduces commuting, it also presents obstacles to cultivating organizational identity, maintaining collaboration, and fostering interpersonal synergy among colleagues. Companies often struggle to build cohesive teams or sustain a consistent workplace culture when employees rarely meet in person.

Parallel to this trend, the ascendence of the gig economy—marked by project-based, independent contractual labor—has expanded occupational fluidity and empowered workers to choose assignments aligned with their preferences. This shift reflects a broader move away from traditional full-time employment. Yet many contingent workers lack access to employment protections, healthcare, paid leave, and retirement planning, facing limited access to various employment benefits.

As technical skills become increasingly specialized and roles evolve rapidly, the onus is on individuals to pursue lifelong learning and remain adaptable in an ever-changing market. At the same time, employers are placing greater emphasis on interpersonal fluency, critical reasoning, and cognitive agility—attributes that are uniquely human. Throughout the text, the author shows an analytical outlook on these changes, predicting what employees should do to survive in this evolving landscape.

[Note: Original exam passage was truncated in source scan; this version is reconstructed from Springboard key quotes to support all 10 reading MCQs.]

What is the primary focus of the passage?

The word "metamorphosis" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

According to the passage, what challenge does remote work present?

What is a notable feature of the gig economy?

The phrase "this shift" in paragraph 3 refers to ______.

What issue do many gig workers face?

What does the author suggest about technical skills?

What kinds of human-centered skills are employers now valuing more?

What is implied about lifelong learning?

What is the author's overall tone regarding the changes in the workforce?

III. READING — Open cloze climate (61–70)

ONE suitable word for each blank.

Human-driven causes of climate change

Scientists agree that human activity is the primary driver of what we're seeing now worldwide. This type of climate change is sometimes referred to as anthropogenic, (61) __________ is just a way of saying "caused by human beings." The unchecked (62) __________ of fossil fuels over the past 150 years has drastically increased the presence of atmospheric greenhouse gases, most notably carbon dioxide. At the same time, logging and development have led to the widespread (63) __________ of forests, wetlands, and other carbon sinks—natural resources that store carbon dioxide and (64) __________ it from being released into the atmosphere.

Right now, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (65) __________ carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are the highest they've been in the last 800,000 years. Some greenhouse gases, like hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HFCs), do not even (66) __________ in nature. By continuously pumping these gases into the air, we helped raise the earth's average temperature (67) __________ about 1.9 degrees Fahrenheit during the 20th century—which has brought us to our current era of deadly, and increasingly routine, weather extremes. And it's important to note that while climate change (68) __________ everyone in some way, it doesn't do so equally: All over the world, people of color and those living in economically disadvantaged or politically marginalized communities bear a (69) __________ larger burden, despite the fact that these communities (70) __________ a much smaller role in warming the planet.

III. READING — Sailing headings (71–75)

Choose heading A–H for paragraphs 1–5. EX: Para 0 = D.

EX: Paragraph 0: D

A. The consequences of poor performance
B. An unexpectedly demanding way of life
C. A solution that seems to work
D. The terrible consequences of making a mistake
E. Benefiting from the power of nature
F. Cooperating to overcome the power of nature
G. It's not what people think
H. No way out if you don't like it

Paragraph 0: Imagine for a moment, spending the night on board of a large yacht, being roughly woken in the pitch dark and ordered on deck. Every so often you will be totally drenched, very suddenly, in salt water. You will be sharing the same cramped space with 14 other people for a whole year. Your stomach, when not affected by seasickness, will be hit by the competitive tension and nervousness that afflicts all sportspeople. You will be obliged to concentrate without cease. The slightest loss of focus could cost someone their life.

Paragraph 1: For the eight crews taking part in the Round-the-world yachting race, this has been daily life since they left Britain eleven months ago. Now, after racing 50,000 across kilometers of ocean, they are soon due home. While most of us have worked, slept, taken a holiday, these crews have sailed and sailed, day after day, night after night, in weather conditions that would test any human. This is the reality of ocean yacht racing, which bears little resemblance to the popular image of sailing – the quick sprint around a lake before returning ashore for a meal and a warm bath.

Paragraph 2: Racing 20-metre yachts around the world is a story of unrelenting hard work, pushing yourself to the limits of endurance. But it is also a story of the vastness and beauty of the sea, of seeing the sun rise and set on hundreds of desolate horizons, and of the supreme satisfaction of arriving somewhere knowing that wind alone has taken you there.

Paragraph 3: Unlike the captains, who are professional sailors, the crews all consist of amateur volunteers who have actually paid for the privilege of taking a year off from their work and enduring these difficult conditions. On board London Light the ages range from 21 to 65. For the youngest member, Susan Porter, the trip is about the excitement of both the racing and the elements. "Being able to pitch yourselves as a team against a storm gives you a huge sense of achievement," she says.

Paragraph 4: Jerry Wallace, a marketing director, found sailing a refreshing change from the selfish individualism of business. Although he was prepared for the discomfort, the mental stress of long distance racing was not what he had anticipated. A Grand Prix driver has a few hours of focus, a footballer 90 minutes, but we have been racing for 11 months. This is something I didn't really appreciate before I started.

Paragraph 5: Inevitably, there are tensions. The kind of people who choose to take part in races like this tend to be motivated and strong-willed. On a trivial level, there are the usual arguments about things like cleaning, tidying, personal hygiene, even the way people snore. Row on a boat must be addressed immediately. Left to develop, they get much worse. On London Light they have done this by having a meeting where problems can be discussed and resolved by majority vote. Cooperation is the key, and everyone can have their say. The London is one of the few boats that has never lost any crew early because of a personality clash.
