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 following questions.
 Improving girls’ educational levels has been demonstrated to have clear impacts on the health and 
economic future of young women, which in turn improves the prospects of their entire community. The infant 
mortality rate of babies whose mothers have received primary education is half that of children whose mothers 
are illiterate. In the poorest countries of the world, 50% of girls do not attend secondary school. Yet, research 
shows that every extra year of school for girls increases their lifetime income by 15%. Improving female 
education, and thus the earning potential of women, improves the standard of living for their own children, as 
women invest more of their income in their families than men do. Yet, many barriers to education for girls

change affects nature. It is just sad.”
 Svalbard’s capital Longyearbyen, the northernmost town on earth, is thought to be warming quicker than 
any other settlement on the planet, climate scientists warned earlier this year. The milder temperatures in the 
region led to unusually heavy rainfall in December, leaving a thick layer of ice when the precipitation froze. 
This meant the reindeer could not dig through the hardened tundra to reach the vegetation they graze on in their 
usual pastures, the NPI said. Svalbard’s reindeer have been observed eating seaweed and kelp when food is 
“scarce”, but “these” are less nutritious and cause them stomach problems.
 A relatively high number of calves born last year increased the death toll, as the youngest and weakest 
are often the first to die in harsh conditions. “Some of the mortality is natural because there were so many calves 
last year. But the large number we see now is due to heavy rain, which is due to global warming,” said Ms 
Onvik Pedersen.
 A team of three scientists spent 10 weeks investigating population of the Svalbard reindeer earlier this 
year. Researchers warned the decline of reindeer would cause unwanted plant species, currently kept in check 
by the animals’ grazing, to spread across Arctic ecosystems in Europe, Asia and North America.
 Arctic reindeer and caribou populations have declined 56 per cent in the last two decades, a report by the 
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said last year. The report said food security was partly to 
blame for falling herd numbers, while warmer summers could also put the animals at greater risk of diseases 
spread by flies and parasites. The average temperature in Longyearbyen has risen by 3.70C since 1900, more 
than three times the global average increase of about 10C. In 2016, the entrance to the town’s “Doomsday” seed 
vault – which stores specimens of almost all the world’s seeds – was flooded following heavy rainfall.
