Read the passage carefully and answer Questions 11–15.
Passage: 城市中的老树
① 在我家附近的一条老街上，有一棵巨大的榕树。据老一辈的居民说，这棵榕树已经有超过一百年的历史了。它的树干粗壮，需要三个成年人才能合抱。茂密的枝叶像一把巨大的绿伞，为整条街道遮挡烈日。
② 小时候，我常常和邻居的孩子们在榕树下玩耍。我们在树根之间捉迷藏，在树枝上荡秋千。夏天的傍晚，老人们会搬出藤椅，坐在树下乘凉、下棋、聊天。那棵榕树，是我们整个社区的记忆和情感寄托。
③ 然而，随着城市的发展，老街面临着改造的计划。开发商打算拆除旧建筑，修建一座现代化的购物中心。这意味着那棵老榕树可能会被砍掉。消息传出后，社区居民纷纷表达了反对意见。
④ 一位年过八旬的陈奶奶说："这棵树比我年纪还大，它见证了我们几代人的成长。砍掉它，就等于砍掉了我们的根。"年轻的上班族李先生也表示："城市需要发展，但发展不应该以牺牲历史和自然为代价。我们需要的是平衡，而不是非此即彼的选择。"
⑤ 经过社区居民的多次请愿和媒体的报道，市政府最终决定修改规划方案。新方案保留了老榕树，并将其作为新购物中心的中心景观。开发商还在树周围设计了一个小公园，供市民休息。
⑥ 如今，新购物中心已经开业，老榕树依然挺立在那里。每天，仍有老人在树下乘凉，仍有孩子在树边嬉戏。这棵老树，成为了城市发展与历史保护和谐共存的一个象征。

Section C: Comprehension — Passage 2 阅读理解（二）(25 marks)
Read the passage carefully and answer Questions 18–20.
Passage: 网络时代的阅读习惯
① 随着智能手机和平板电脑的普及，人们的阅读习惯发生了巨大的变化。过去，人们习惯于捧着一本厚厚的纸质书，在安静的午后慢慢品读。如今，越来越多的人选择在手机上浏览短文、社交媒体帖子和新闻摘要。
② 根据一项调查，新加坡青少年平均每天花在屏幕上的时间超过六小时，而花在纸质阅读上的时间不到二十分钟。专家指出，这种趋势令人担忧。长时间盯着屏幕不仅会影响视力，还会降低人们的专注力和深度思考能力。
③ 然而，也有人认为，数字阅读并非一无是处。电子书便于携带，读者可以在任何时间、任何地点阅读。此外，许多数字阅读平台提供了互动功能，如即时查词典、做笔记和分享书评，这些功能丰富了阅读体验。
④ 教育学者王教授认为，关键在于如何平衡两种阅读方式。"纸质阅读有助于培养深度思考和专注力，而数字阅读则提供了便利和广度。两者并非对立关系，而是可以互补的。"她建议，家长和学校应该鼓励青少年每天保留一定的纸质阅读时间，同时合理利用数字阅读工具。
⑤ 事实上，一些学校已经开始采取行动。某中学推出了"无屏幕阅读日"，每周三要求学生带一本纸质书到学校，在课间和午休时间阅读。结果显示，参与该计划的学生不仅阅读能力有所提高，课堂专注力也明显改善。
⑥ 阅读是人类获取知识、培养思维的重要方式。无论媒介如何变化，阅读本身的价值不会改变。在这个信息爆炸的时代，我们更需要学会选择优质的阅读内容，培养良好的阅读习惯，让阅读成为终身受益的习惯。
Question 18 (6 marks)
(a) According to paragraph ②, what are the two concerns that experts have about excessive screen time?
(1) _______________________________________________________________ (2) _______________________________________________________________
(b) According to paragraph ③, what are two advantages of digital reading?
(1) _______________________________________________________________ (2) _______________________________________________________________
Question 19 (6 marks)
(a) What suggestion does Professor Wang (王教授) make in paragraph ④?
(b) What action did one secondary school take (paragraph ⑤), and what were the results?
Action: _______________________________________________________________ Results: _______________________________________________________________
Question 20 (8 marks)
Based on the passage, discuss whether you think digital reading will eventually replace paper reading. Support your answer with at least two points from the passage and one point from your own experience or opinion.

Question 20 (8 marks)
Marking scheme (holistic):
| Marks | Descriptor |
|---|---|
| 7–8 | Clear, well-structured argument with at least two points from the passage and one personal point. Points are well-explained and logically connected. Language is fluent and accurate. |
| 5–6 | Adequate argument with at least two points from the passage and one personal point. Some explanation provided. Language is generally clear. |

Sample high-quality answer:
我认为数字阅读不会完全取代纸质阅读。首先，根据文章，纸质阅读有助于培养深度思考和专注力，这是数字阅读难以替代的（段落④）。其次，王教授指出两种阅读方式可以互补，而非对立（段落④）。此外，学校的"无屏幕阅读日"实验证明纸质阅读对学生的专注力有积极影响（段落⑤）。从个人经验来看，我在阅读纸质书时更容易集中注意力，而在手机上阅读时容易被通知和广告打断。因此，我认为两种阅读方式将长期共存，各自发挥不同的作用。
Marking note: Award marks based on the quality of reasoning, use of evidence from the passage, and personal input. Language quality is considered but is not the primary criterion.
Total: 70 marks
