Renewable energy communities, where households work together to generate clean power, are growing rapidly in many countries. Smart meters, solar sensors, wind-speed trackers, and energy-analysis software provide real-time data that helps members optimise their shared systems. Collected information on sunlight levels, battery storage, and electricity usage allows energy teams to accelerate decisions on when to store, release, or share power. By acting quickly, communities avoid wasting energy and reduce dependence on the national grid.
Mapping tools show which rooftops receive the strongest sunlight and which areas should host additional solar panels. They also indicate places where wind turbines can operate safely. Drones deliver early alerts when equipment overheats or blades become blocked, so technicians can repair only the affected parts. This prevents large-scale breakdowns and helps lower maintenance costs for the entire community.
Automated energy-flow systems adjust power distribution every hour. Special software tracks household energy needs and forecasts weather patterns for the coming days. When energy demand increases or storms approach, the system changes the power route instantly. This saves electricity and keeps renewable-energy projects viable, especially in regions where weather conditions are unpredictable.
Digital platforms link households, engineers, and energy suppliers so they can update battery levels, output measurements, and transfer times immediately. Blockchain tools secure every entry, encouraging members to trust the recorded information. Over time, analytic programs compare seasonal data to predict energy shortages, plan resource allocation, and reveal weak points in the power network.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as a type of collected real-time data?
The word “accelerate” in paragraph 1 can be best replaced by ____________.

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 20 to 29.
In an effort to create more sustainable campuses, many universities are experimenting with “low- carbon student lifestyles,” combining behavioural changes with digital innovation. Students are encouraged to walk or cycle instead of using motorbikes, reduce food waste in canteens, and participate in recycling programmes. These initiatives are supported by mobile apps that track carbon footprints and award points for eco-friendly choices. [I] The points can later be exchanged for discounts at bookstores or campus cafés, creating an incentive system that blends environmental responsibility with daily convenience.
Despite their popularity, such programmes face obstacles. [II] Some students question the accuracy of carbon-tracking apps, arguing that they oversimplify complex behaviours. For instance, a long walk under extreme heat might be given the same score as a short walk on a cool day, even though the environmental impact differs. Others fear that constant data monitoring could violate privacy, especially when apps record location, consumption habits, and travel patterns. Administrators admit that the technology is not perfect but emphasise that it is designed to educate rather than punish.
Another difficulty lies in ensuring long-term commitment. [III] While many students eagerly participate at first, enthusiasm often fades after a few weeks. Researchers suggest that universities need to integrate sustainability into academic subjects, extracurricular projects, and even dormitory management.
When students understand how lifestyle choices relate to broader environmental systems, they are more likely to form lasting habits.
Nevertheless, early evidence indicates that low-carbon lifestyle projects can positively influence entire communities. [IV] At one university in Singapore, students collaborated with local residents to design solar- powered study corners in public parks. The initiative not only reduced electricity use on campus but also strengthened relationships between the university and neighbouring communities. As climate challenges intensify, such partnerships may become essential in building environmentally conscious cities.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 30 to 34.
In our modern throwaway society, products are often discarded before their actual end of life, which creates massive waste problems globally. Had manufacturers designed items to last longer, we would see less waste in our landfills today. The growing repair movement, which started in small communities, (30) ____________. People are learning to fix their broken electronics; consequently, they save money and reduce environmental impact. (31) ____________.
Many companies resist this movement because planned obsolescence drives their profits; however, sustainable businesses are embracing circular economy principles. Creative upcycling, (32) ____________, transforms unwanted objects into beautiful, functional pieces. Children should be taught repair skills in schools to nurture a generation that values resources. Community workshops provide tools and expertise for those who want to extend their possessions' lifespan. Even governments are starting to recognize the importance of this shift, with some countries now implementing "right to repair" laws (33) ____________.
The true value of repairing lies not just in waste reduction but in challenging our relationship with consumption. By reimagining how we use products, we create a more sustainable future where items are treasured rather than trashed. In a world with limited resources, the repair revolution isn't just practical—it's necessary for our planet's survival. (34) ____________. Our choices today will determine whether future generations inherit a sustainable planet or a wasteland of discarded goods.
