Read the text below and decide which answer best fits each gap. 

If you can roll a ball, you can play bowls. Everyone can play: young and old, men and women, the fit and the not so fit. It is the individual outdoor game that really is a sport for all. What other sports can grandparents play on equal terms with their grandchildren? What other game is so simple that you could it today and be competing in the national championship tomorrow?

Simple? Perhaps that is not the right word. There are thousands of bowls players will tell you that, although bowls is a game that anyone can pick up in five minutes, it takes a lifetime to master it. They are the people who have developed a passionate interest in the game. , for outsiders, bowls is another word and a strange and puzzling one. They see a bowl game in action and wonder what is going on.

What the players are trying to do is explaining . Their is to roll their bowls, called wood, as near as possible to the little white ball, called the jack. If one of your bowls finishes nearer to the jack than your opponent's, you score one point and he or she scores nothing. If you have the two nearest, you score two, and so on. The skill involved in rolling a bowl that weighs around 2 kilos across about 40 meters so that it stops only a very short distance from the target is just as impressive as the skills required other sports.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Traveling to space was once reserved for highly trained astronauts. In recent years, however, private companies have begun offering short trips beyond the atmosphere to any customer who can afford a ticket - a shift achieved within little more than a decade, sparking global debate about the future of space exploration.

Supporters argue that opening space to ordinary citizens will inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers, much as televised moon landings once did. Notably, several pilots now flying these private missions once trained at national space agencies that have since scaled back their own crewed programmes. The substantial fees paid by wealthy tourists, advocates add, are reinvested into research that eventually benefits the wider industry, and rising competition should keep lowering ticket prices until space travel becomes affordable for more than today's handful of millionaires. Supporters also point to a personal dimension: those who have viewed Earth from orbit often describe a profound shift in perspective, which they hope will make more people care about protecting the planet.

Critics disagree. Rocket launches release significant pollution into the upper atmosphere, potentially worsening the very climate problems the industry claims to help address. Others question whether billions of dollars might be better spent on urgent needs like poverty or public health. Adding to these concerns, several governments are still drafting safety and environmental regulations specifically for tourist flights.

Vacationing among the stars remains exciting but costly. As the industry grows, governments, companies, and passengers must weigh technological ambition against environmental responsibility.

The word "profound" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.

  • significant
  • superficial
  • temporary

Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?

  • Rocket launches contribute to pollution that could worsen climate change.
  • National space agencies have expanded their own crewed missions to compete with private companies.
  • Some critics argue that space tourism funding could instead address problems on Earth.

What can be inferred about the relationship between national space agencies and private space tourism companies?

  • Private companies have grown partly as national agencies have reduced their own crewed programmes.
  • National agencies created private companies specifically to cut government spending.
  • Private companies now provide all the funding for national space agencies.

What is the author's main purpose in the passage?

  • To promote private space companies as a solution to shrinking government budgets

  • To persuade readers that space tourism should be limited until regulations improve

  • To present the range of arguments for and against commercial space travel

What is the main idea of the passage?

  • Space tourism inspires new scientists while quietly depending on shrinking government space budgets.

  • Government agencies plan to shut down their own space programmes entirely within the decade.

  • Commercial space travel offers real benefits but raises economic, environmental and regulatory concerns.
