Reading Comprehension

📑 Κείμενο · διάβασε πριν απαντήσεις

When the first commercial e-readers appeared in the late 2000s, many commentators confidently predicted the death of the printed book. Almost twenty years later, that prediction has aged badly. After an initial dip, printed books have made a quiet but steady recovery, while sales of dedicated e-readers have plateaued in most Western markets.

The reasons are partly practical. Studies show that, for complex material, readers retain more from a printed page than from a screen. Eye strain, notifications and the sheer ease of switching to social media all make sustained reading on a device surprisingly demanding. Independent bookshops, long thought to be doomed by online retailers, have been opening rather than closing in many European cities, often combining books with coffee, events and community space.

The reasons are also cultural. A printed book is an object as well as a text. It can be lent, signed, displayed on a shelf or passed down through a family. Sociologists describe the home library as a kind of slow social media — a curated public statement about who we are and what we value. A list of titles on a screen, by contrast, vanishes the moment the device is closed.

"Digital reading is convenient, but printed reading is memorable," argues one researcher in publishing studies. "For deep, linear texts, paper still wins."

None of this means that e-readers are finished. They remain popular for travel, for reference works, and for readers with visual impairments, since fonts can be adjusted in size. Audiobooks, too, continue to grow at a remarkable rate, especially among younger commuters. What has shifted is the tone of the debate: instead of one format replacing another, the future of reading looks increasingly plural, with readers moving between paper, screen and audio according to mood, task and place.

44 Reading Comprehension
"Sociologists describe the home library as a kind of slow social media — a curated public statement." What does the author imply?
45 Reading Comprehension

47 Reading Comprehension
"Most regular sunscreens contain chemicals that are toxic to coral." The pronoun "that" refers to:
48 Reading Comprehension
Passage: "Bees pollinate roughly one third of the food we eat. Yet bee populations have fallen sharply in the last decade. Pesticides, the loss of wild flowers and a parasite called Varroa are widely blamed. Scientists warn that without urgent action, fruit and vegetable prices could rise dramatically." What is the writer's main concern?
49 Reading Comprehension
Passage: "Many teenagers now spend more than seven hours a day looking at a screen. Sleep researchers warn that blue light suppresses melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep. Schools in Finland and France have begun banning phones during the school day, with notable improvements in concentration." What can we INFER?
50 Reading Comprehension
Passage: "The Mediterranean diet, rich in olive oil, fish, vegetables and whole grains, has long been linked to lower rates of heart disease. Recent research, however, suggests its benefits go beyond the heart: people who follow it closely also show slower cognitive decline as they age." The word "cognitive" most nearly means:
51 Reading Comprehension
Passage: "For decades, Pluto was considered the ninth planet of our solar system. In 2006, however, the International Astronomical Union reclassified it as a 'dwarf planet'. The decision was controversial: many in the public refused to accept it, and several US states even passed symbolic resolutions defending Pluto's planetary status." Which statement is TRUE according to the text?
52 Reading Comprehension
Passage: "Some children develop a particular bond with a single book, returning to it night after night. Psychologists call this 'comfort reading'. Far from being a sign of limited curiosity, it appears to help children build emotional stability through familiarity and predictable narratives." What does the writer suggest about comfort reading?
53 Reading Comprehension
Passage: "The new museum, housed in a former power station, has become a surprise hit. Critics had predicted that the industrial setting would feel cold and unwelcoming. Visitors disagree: many describe the rough brick walls and exposed pipes as 'atmospheric' and even 'romantic'." The writer's tone towards the museum is:
54 Reading Comprehension
Passage: "Five years ago, a small fishing village on the south coast of Cyprus was hardly mentioned in any guidebook. Today, on summer weekends, its narrow streets struggle to absorb the crowds. The reason is not a new road or a celebrity hotel — it is a single Instagram post. A travel influencer photographed the village's blue-shuttered houses at sunset, tagged the location, and within months tour buses were arriving daily. Locals describe the experience as a mixed blessing. New cafés have opened, young people who once moved to Limassol for work have returned, and the price of a small house has more than doubled. At the same time, residents complain about traffic, rubbish, and visitors who treat private courtyards as photo studios. The village council has begun to limit parking and ban large groups from the harbour, but it is reluctant to discourage tourism altogether. Researchers call this pattern "viral tourism": destinations that explode in popularity because of a single piece of online content, often with little warning and even less planning. The challenge, they argue, is not to stop the phenomenon but to manage it before the very charm that attracted visitors disappears." What is the main idea of the passage?
55 Reading Comprehension
"Locals describe the experience as a mixed blessing." The phrase "a mixed blessing" means:
56 Reading Comprehension
"...young people who once moved to Limassol for work have returned..." What can we infer from this sentence?
57 Reading Comprehension
"The village council has begun to limit parking and ban large groups from the harbour, but it is reluctant to discourage tourism altogether." The word "reluctant" here means:
58 Reading Comprehension

59 Reading Comprehension
The writer's overall attitude towards "viral tourism" can best be described as:

61 Reading Comprehension
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. "Microplastics — particles smaller than 5 millimetres — have now been detected in virtually every environment on Earth, from the Mariana Trench to Arctic snow. Scientists were initially alarmed by their presence in the ocean, but recent studies reveal that the concentration of microplastics in the air we breathe may pose an even greater risk. A 2023 study estimated that urban residents inhale the equivalent of a credit card's worth of plastic each week. Unlike larger debris, microplastics are too small to be filtered by the nose or throat; they reach the lungs directly. Long-term effects on human tissue are still being studied, but early data suggest links to inflammation and cellular damage. Legislators have been slow to respond, partly because the science is still emerging and partly because the sources — synthetic textiles, tyres, packaging — are deeply embedded in modern economies." According to the passage, why have legislators been slow to act on microplastics?
62 Reading Comprehension
(Same passage as q21) The phrase "deeply embedded in modern economies" (final sentence) suggests that:
63 Reading Comprehension

65 Reading Comprehension
Read the new passage: "The concept of 'slow journalism' emerged as a reaction to the 24-hour news cycle. Proponents argue that in-depth, long-form reporting — produced over weeks or months — delivers more reliable, nuanced analysis than breaking news updates. Critics, however, contend that slow journalism is a luxury reserved for the affluent: lengthy magazine features require subscriptions most readers cannot afford. Supporters counter that investigative pieces like the Panama Papers or the Windrush exposé, which took years to compile, forced governments to act and changed laws. The debate ultimately hinges on whether journalism's primary duty is speed or accountability." The word "hinges" (final sentence) is closest in meaning to:
66 Reading Comprehension

71 Reading Comprehension
Read: "The museum's new wing, opened after a decade of fundraising, has been praised for its sustainable design — solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and timber sourced entirely from certified forests. Yet critics note that the construction process itself generated significant carbon emissions, raising questions about whether 'sustainable architecture' is more branding than substance." The critics' argument could best be summarised as:
72 Reading Comprehension
(Same passage as q31) The expression "more branding than substance" implies that:
73 Reading Comprehension
Inference from tone: A journalist writes — "The government's latest environmental pledge is, to put it charitably, ambitious." The journalist's real opinion is most likely:

Extended passage (continued): "Rewilding — the large-scale restoration of ecosystems — has gained momentum across Europe. In Scotland, reintroduced beavers have re-engineered entire river systems within a decade. In Portugal, abandoned farmland is being reclaimed by wolves. Proponents see rewilding as a cost-effective way to address biodiversity loss and climate change simultaneously. But farmers in affected areas are not so enthusiastic. 'You can't run a sheep farm when wolves are your neighbours,' one farmer told this correspondent bitterly." The farmer's quote is included primarily to:
