MID-COURSE ASSESSMENT In 2005 more people found work as ecologists than any
other job in the environmental industry, with
(UNITS 1–6) Environmental Consultant being the destination for only
three percent. This could be due to the fact that only
experienced postgraduates may have been in a position
SECTION A: LISTENING to apply. The most popular destination job for graduates
1 in 2014 was Nature Conservation Officer with nearly a
third of all graduates, whereas in 2010 only just over a
1D 2A 3C 4B 5A 6C 7D 8B 9D
tenth ended up in this job. It is likely that there were
2 more Nature Conservation Officer jobs available in 2014
1a 2c 3b 4a 5b 6c than in 2005. 2010 saw the highest level of non-linked
jobs being taken up by graduates and probably reflected
the general economic situation as unemployment was at

graduates, whereas the latest figures show that only six
percent did this.

9 Sample answer
Along with the Earth’s oceans, space is one of the last
remaining areas which hasn’t been much explored by
man. Despite the trillions and trillions of dollars that
have been spent, we still haven’t discovered another
planet upon which we could survive. As a result, many
criticise the amounts spent, believing that that money
could be better used sorting out the problems on Earth.
Those in favour of space exploration believe it is
necessary in order to make new discoveries and gather
knowledge which would benefit mankind. They are
convinced that much of the technology and many of the
products we use every day, such as computers and solar
energy, would not have been developed without space
exploration. For example, a solar-powered fridge was
developed and this has major significance for developing
countries where there is no electricity, providing safe
storage for food which could otherwise cause illness if
left out in the heat of the day. Furthermore, they might
find new materials and medicines, ways of cleaning
water and growing food to save planet Earth.
