CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS GCE Advanced Subsidiary Level MARK SCHEME for the October/November 2013 series 8001 GENERAL PAPER 8001/22 Paper 2, maximum raw mark 50 This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and candidates, to indicate the requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2013 series for most IGCSE, GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level components and some Ordinary Level components.

Page 2 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper GCE AS LEVEL – October/November 2013 8001 22 © Cambridge International Examinations 2013 1 (a) Credit the material below or any other valid points. • Read rather than heard. • Set out as a play, with names of speakers, stage directions … • Unstructured, it begins casually and ends abruptly rather than being introduced and concluded formally. • With emphasis on the interplay of characters, what is said is often less important than how it is said. • There is the odd inconsequential action or reference to matters having no bearing on energy issues. • There are no statistics or technical detail • since no experts are involved. • There are some unconsidered suggestions, examples of biased opinion or arguments that would not hold water in public • coming from a pair who are not professional broadcasters. 5 × 2 [10] Any relevant content well above 100 words should be totally disregarded. Examiners should annotate script to indicate at that point. (b) Credit the material below or any other valid points. • Felix makes a positive response to Ernest’s worries about the future of energy. • He applies commonsense to Ernest’s concerns over earthquakes and tsunamis. • Arguably, he hasn’t thought through nuclear waste disposal before Ernest’s sarcastic suggestions. • Likewise, where the nuclear reactor should be located seems to come off the cuff. • He wins, though, the argument over accessibility. • Felix is dominant in the closing stages, as he comes down hard on Ernest’s wild proposals about hydroelectric power • so that Ernest has to temporise before beating a hasty retreat. Whilst deciding a mark, award 9 – 10 for a relevant, perceptive and balanced assessment that reaches a conclusion after having covered at least four exchanges; 7 – 8 when one of the criteria above has not been satisfied; 5 – 6 when two of the criteria above have not been satisfied; 3 – 4 when the answer is badly flawed but contains some worthwhile material; 1 – 2 when there is little merit in the answer; 0 when there is no merit in the answer. [10] Any relevant content well above 100 words should be totally disregarded. Examiners should annotate script to indicate at that point. Too short an answer means that content will be inadequate.

Page 3 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper GCE AS LEVEL – October/November 2013 8001 22 © Cambridge International Examinations 2013 (c) Candidates are at liberty to choose what title they please but must take cognisance of the entire passage. A valid interpretation might be as follows: ‘Out of their depth!’ Both Ernest and Felix are arguing over technical issues to which they have apparently not given much serious thought beforehand. Consequently, at every stage their assertions are open to challenge. Award marks as follows: 3 sound choice; sound justification; 2 suspect choice; reasonable justification; 1 sound choice; weak justification; 0 suspect choice; weak justification. [3] Any relevant explanation well above 30 words should be totally disregarded. Examiners should annotate script to indicate at that point. Do not, however, take the length of the title into account in the word-count. (d) (i) Felix does not take factors (such as diet or heredity) (1) other than exercise into account. (1) (ii) Ernest is incapable of appreciating (1) why such regulations have been imposed/ (1) how other countries may view through traffic. OR Ernest rightly pours scorn (1) on petty bureaucracy. (1) (iii) Ernest thinks that Felix cannot rid himself (1) of a bee in his bonnet. (1) OR Ernest mocks (1) Felix’s commitment to nuclear energy. (1) (iv) To stress how inaccessible (1) the site is. (1) (v) To distract Felix (1) from pressing his advantage. (1) (vi) To give Ernest time to think (1) of how better to deal with Felix’s last objection. (1) [12]
