How The Younger Generation Consumes The News
In recent years, (1) ________ researchers and older generations that younger people are disengaged from the news, leading to a limited understanding of the world. However, a study by the Media Insight Project (American Press Institute & Associated Press) challenges this perception. The research reveals that 85% of young people consider staying informed important, and 69% consume news daily.
The key difference lies not in a lack of interest but in how news is accessed. Younger generations, (2) ________ , rely on smartphones, tablets, and laptops rather than traditional newspapers. A study by Ofcom found that 60% of young people in the UK use the internet or apps for news, compared to only 21% of older adults.
(3) ________ . Most young people don't actively seek news on social platforms, but encounter it through headlines that pop up while browsing. (4) ________ , it is not typically trusted for accuracy. For more serious topics, like economics or local crime, young people still turn to original sources, with television remaining the most trusted medium for reliable news.
Alison Preston, Head of Media Literacy Research at Ofcom, notes that the motivations for consuming news differ between generations. For younger people, news is about convenience and social interaction, while older generations view it as a duty or habit. (5) ________ .

Read the following passage about the urban shift and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.
[I] As the world grapples with the finite nature of fossil fuel reserves and the detrimental impact of climate change, the future of energy undeniably lies in renewable sources. [II] Scientists and engineers are making substantial advancements in the development of technologies that more efficiently harness solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy. [III] Although the transition to these renewable sources presents significant challenges, it is also regarded as a pivotal step towards establishing a sustainable and resilient energy system. [IV]
One of the most promising advancements in renewable energy is the enhancement of solar panel efficiency. Progress in photovoltaic technology has led to the creation of panels that convert a higher proportion of sunlight into electricity. Likewise, wind turbines are becoming more and more efficient. They are capable of generating power even under low-wind conditions. The future of geothermal energy is closely tied to technological innovations. Several key advancements are expected to drive growth in the coming decade such as Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), Advanced Drilling Technologies and Closed-Loop Systems. These innovations are essential for making renewable energy more feasible and accessible to a broader population.
However, the transition to renewable energy is fraught with obstacles. The intermittent nature of sources like solar and wind necessitates reliable storage solutions to ensure a consistent power supply. Although battery technology has seen significant improvements, further advancements are imperative to meet growing demand. Moreover, the infrastructure for distributing renewable energy requires expansion and upgrading to accommodate these new power sources.
The economic impact of transitioning to renewable energy is another critical consideration. While the initial investment in renewable energy infrastructure can be substantial, the long-term benefits include reduced energy costs and job creation in the green energy sector. Governments and private enterprises are increasingly acknowledging the necessity of investing in renewable energy projects, which is crucial for fostering innovation and diminishing reliance on fossil fuels.
Ultimately, the future of energy hinges on our capacity to innovate and adapt. By continuing to invest in research and development, improving infrastructure, and addressing economic and technical challenges, we can transition towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy system.

[I] As the world grapples with the finite nature of fossil fuel reserves and the detrimental impact of climate change, the future of energy undeniably lies in renewable sources. [II] Scientists and engineers are making substantial advancements in the development of technologies that more efficiently harness solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal energy. [III] Although the transition to these renewable sources presents significant challenges, it is also regarded as a pivotal step towards establishing a sustainable and resilient energy system. [IV]
One of the most promising advancements in renewable energy is the enhancement of solar panel efficiency. Progress in photovoltaic technology has led to the creation of panels that convert a higher proportion of sunlight into electricity. Likewise, wind turbines are becoming more and more efficient. They are capable of generating power even under low-wind conditions. The future of geothermal energy is closely tied to technological innovations. Several key advancements are expected to drive growth in the coming decade such as Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), Advanced Drilling Technologies and Closed-Loop Systems. These innovations are essential for making renewable energy more feasible and accessible to a broader population.
However, the transition to renewable energy is fraught with obstacles. The intermittent nature of sources like solar and wind necessitates reliable storage solutions to ensure a consistent power supply. Although battery technology has seen significant improvements, further advancements are imperative to meet growing demand. Moreover, the infrastructure for distributing renewable energy requires expansion and upgrading to accommodate these new power sources.
The economic impact of transitioning to renewable energy is another critical consideration. While the initial investment in renewable energy infrastructure can be substantial, the long-term benefits include reduced energy costs and job creation in the green energy sector. Governments and private enterprises are increasingly acknowledging the necessity of investing in renewable energy projects, which is crucial for fostering innovation and diminishing reliance on fossil fuels.
Ultimately, the future of energy hinges on our capacity to innovate and adapt. By continuing to invest in research and development, improving infrastructure, and addressing economic and technical challenges, we can transition towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly energy system.
