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 questions from 29 to 33.
Almost everyone's exercise habits changed when the Covid-19 started. Data from more than
400,000 users of smartphone step-counting apps concluded that around the world, average daily steps
declined by about 27 percent by the end of the first month. The more dramatic drop in the time people
spent working out was observed among those who had been the most active before the pandemic.
After the lockdowns were lifted, most people began exercising again. However, in general, only those
older than 65 exceeded the previous minutes of taking part in physical activities. On average, they added
20 minutes more to the time they had usually spent on regular exercise. Older people probably had more
free time for exercise than younger adults who are trying to deal with childcare, work and many other
responsibilities. Moreover, with old age as a condition of Covid-19 cases and deaths, it stands to
psychological reason that older people might have worried more about their general health, motivating
them to get up and do activities that improve their fitness.
A study has also shown that since the lockdown measures were adopted, many people reached their
general practitioners to ask about the appropriate intensity of physical activities that they could do at home.
The doctors made a list of light activities that one could do at home and reduce time spent sitting or lying
down and break up long periods of not being able to do moderate and high intensity activities. The list
contains moving around their home, cleaning and dusting, making the bed and walking at a slow pace.
Question 29. Which of the following is NOT the conclusion of the research mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. People who had been more energetic before the pandemic became more inactive during the first month
of lockdown.
B. On average, the number of steps people took decreased by about 27% in the first month of lockdown.
C. More than 400,000 people downloaded smartphone step-counting apps so they could join the research.
D. People's exercise habits changed after the lockdown measures were implemented.
Question 30. The word exceeded in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. passed B. cut C. took D. shortened
Question 31. As age is a factor contributing to the Covid-19 deaths, old adults _______.
A. had more time to do exercise B. no longer wanted to work
C. didn't have so many responsibilities in life D. were driven into improving their health
Question 32. According to doctors, ___ are suitable to be done at home during lockdowns.
A. light activities B. moderate intensity activities
C. high intensity activities D. none of the listed activities
Question 33. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Why older people tended to do more physical activities after the pandemic lockdowns.
B. How the Covid pandemic changed people's exercise habits.
C. What was the most affected age group when the lockdown measures were used.
D. What are the appropriate activities to do at home during the pandemic lockdowns.

 Life expectancy refers to the average number of years a person can expect to live based on demographic
factors, primarily influenced by geography, genetics, lifestyle, and access to healthcare. Over the past
century, life expectancy has seen significant increases globally due to advancements in medical
technology, improvements in public health, and higher living standards. In the early 1900s, the average life
expectancy was around 50 years, but today, it has risen to over 70 years worldwide, with some countries
boasting averages of over 80 years.
Several factors contribute to variations in life expectancy among different populations. Healthcare
quality and accessibility are paramount; countries with advanced healthcare systems and universal
coverage tend to have higher life expectancies. For example, Japan and Switzerland are known for their
efficient healthcare systems and correspondingly high life expectancies. In contrast, countries with limited
healthcare resources often have lower life expectancies due to higher rates of infant mortality, infectious
diseases, and chronic health conditions.
Lifestyle choices also play a crucial role in determining life expectancy. Diet, exercise, smoking, and
alcohol consumption are significant factors. Populations that consume diets rich in fruits, vegetables, lean
proteins, and whole grains, such as the Mediterranean diet, often have higher life expectancies. Regular
physical activity and the avoidance of smoking and excessive alcohol consumption further contribute to
longer, healthier lives.
Social and economic factors are equally important. Education, income levels, and social support
networks influence life expectancy. Higher education levels are associated with better health literacy and
healthier lifestyle choices. Economic stability allows for better access to nutritious food, healthcare, and
safe living conditions. Additionally, strong social support networks, including family and community ties,
have been shown to reduce stress and contribute to overall well-being, thereby increasing life expectancy.
Genetics also play a role, albeit a less controllable one. Family history of certain diseases can
predispose individuals to shorter lifespans, though modern medicine has made significant strides in
managing hereditary conditions.
Environmental factors, such as clean air and water, also impact life expectancy. Regions with high
levels of pollution and limited access to clean water tend to have lower life expectancies due to the
increased risk of respiratory and waterborne diseases.
Question 34: What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Role of Genetics in Life Expectancy B. Factors Influencing Life Expectancy
C. Advancements in Medical Technology D. The Importance of Public Health
Question 35: The word “paramount” in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.
A. secondary B. insignificant C. crucial D. irrelevant
Question 36: What does the word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. life expectancy B. medical technology C. public health D. living standards
Question 37: The word “universal” in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to ______.
A. partial B. worldwide C. selective D. comprehensive
Question 38: According to the passage, why do countries with advanced healthcare systems tend to have
higher life expectancies?
A. They have access to more nutritious and balanced food options.
B. They experience lower rates of smoking among the population.
C. They engage in higher rates of regular physical activity and exercise
D. They have superior healthcare services and easier access to medical care.
Question 39: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Life expectancy has increased significantly over the past century.
B. Countries with advanced healthcare systems tend to have higher life expectancies.
C. Obesity has no impact on life expectancy.
D. Social and economic factors influence life expectancy.
Question 40: It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. Life expectancy is solely determined by genetics
B. Economic stability does not affect life expectancy
C. Public health advancements have increased life expectancy
D. Social support networks have no impact on life expectancy.
