Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43
Being repeatedly late may just be accidental - or could it show a deeply rooted psychological desire to
express your own superiority? when I worked in an office, meetings would often start late, usually because
of a certain individual. Then they would overrun and the whole day lost its shape. But the individual was
high-ranking and self-important: nobody challenged. So, what are the ethics of lateness?
There’s a psychotherapist called Irvin Yalom who argues that all behaviour reflects psychology. Just
as people who like to be on time are motivated by certain deep-seated beliefs, so those who make others
wait are acting out an inner agenda, often based on an acute sense of power. There’s famous footage in
which Silvio Berlusconi kept Angela Merkel waiting while he made a call on his mobile. It speaks
volumes.
But that is when all lateness is in one’s control, what about when your train is cancelled or your flight
is delayed or you had to wait longer for the plumber to arrive? In such cases, there’s not a lot of
psychology involved. Or is there? Some people will genuinely worry about the impact it will have on those
left waiting, while others might secretly enjoy the power of their absence.
The essential fact is that lateness means breaking a convention - you can only be late in respect of a
time agreed with other people. Regardless of psychology, it has a social value. And when we treat other
people’s time as less valuable than our own, we treat them as inferior.
(Adapted from https://www.olympic.org/
Question 39. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Lateness indicates superiority of important individuals.
B. Social values of individuals are fostered through lateness.
C. Being late can reveal a lot about people’s psychology.
D. People with high sense of power have a tendency to be late.
Question 40. What is the “speaks volumes” in paragraph 2 closest in meaning to?
A. tells a lot B. makes sounds C. holds power D. talks loudly

P a g e 4 | 12
Question 41. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. The way our minds work is responsible for the way we behave.
B. Some people control a situation for their benefit through lateness.
C. Lateness can have an impact on other people who are made to wait.
D. Most people react the same when lateness is out of their control.
Question 42. It can be inferred from the reading passage that___________.
A. Berlusconi made Merkel wait as he wanted to show his importance.
B. it is fashionable to be late to meetings because nobody challenges.
C. the writer’s daily schedule was unaffected by his colleague’s lateness.
D. nothing can be said about one’s psychology if lateness is out of control.
Question 43. What does the word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. fact B. lateness C. convention D. psychology
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions front 43 to 50.
Homeopathy, the alternative therapy created in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann, and now widely used all
over the world, is based on the belief that the body can be stimulated to heal itself. A central principle of
the “treatment” is that “like cures like”, meaning a substance that causes certain symptoms can also help to
remove those symptoms. Medicines used in homeopathy are created by heavily diluting in water the
substance in question and subsequently shaking the liquid vigorously. They can then be made into tablets
and pills. Practitioners believe that the more a substance is diluted in this way, the greater its power to treat
symptoms.
However, in a new study, a working committee of medical experts at Australia’s National Health and
Medical Research Council (NHMRC) has claimed that homeopathic medicines are only as effective as
placebos at treating illness. Their research, involving the analysis of numerous reports from homeopathy
interest groups and the public, concluded that there is no reliable evidence that homeopathy works.
Moreover, researchers uncovered no fewer than 68 ailments that homeopathic remedies had failed to treat,
including asthma, sleep disturbances, cold and flu, and arthritis.
As a result of the findings, the NHMRC is urging health workers to inform their patients to be wary of
anecdotal evidence that appears to support the effectiveness of homeopathic medicine. “It isn’t possible to
tell whether a health treatment is effective or not simply by considering the experience of one individual or
the beliefs of a health practitioner” says the report. Experts believe that most illnesses said to have been
cured by homeopathy would be cured by the body on its own without taking the medicine. Apparently,
many illnesses are short-lived by their very nature which often leads to people believing that it is the
homeopathy that cures them.
A more serious matter is highlighted by Professor John Dwyer of the University of New South Wales.
As an immunologist, he is concerned about homeopathic vaccinations on offer for diseases such as HIV,
tuberculosis, and malaria, none of which he considers effective. According to Professor John Dwyer, the

P a g e 5 | 12
concept that homeopathic vaccinations are just as good as traditional vaccinations is delusion, and those
who believe it are failing to protect themselves and their children.

Question 44. Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. “Homeopathy kills” say scientists B. “Avoid homeopathy” say scientists
C. Homeopathy worth trying once D. Unknown effects of homeopathy
Question 45. According to the reading passage, homeopathic medicines are___________ .
A. prepared similarly for different diseases B. made up of a variety of ingredients
C. suitable for a wide range of symptoms D. available only in the liquid form
Question 46. What does the word “their” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. committee B. NHMRC C. medicines D. placebos
Question 47. The Australian study reveals that homeopathy is___________.
A. increasingly popular with the public B. helpful in the case of respiratory infections
C. ineffective in treating many diseases D. of great interest to a certain group of people
Question 48. What is the word “wary” in paragraph 3 closest in meaning to?
A. apprehensive B. reluctant C. cautious D. observant
Question 49. People tend to believe in homeopathy because of___________.
A. advertisements displayed in health center
B. positive feedback from a small number of people
C. reliable proof from recent medical reports
D. results of research into some alternatives therapies
Question 50. What is the word “delusion” in paragraph 4 closest in meaning to?
A. legend B. falsehood C. imagination D. hallucination

Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
following questions
In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a
greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources. Fortunately, there are a number of readily
available, renewable resources that are both cost- effective and earth - friendly. Two such resources are
solar power and geothermal power.
Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the needs
of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar energy is easily harnessed through the
use of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. In the us alone, more than 100, 000 homes
are equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts
of the world, including many developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily.
Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal
power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth. Hot water and steam
that are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which
produces electricity. Geothermal energy is 50,000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of
fossil fuel resources and as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly
simple. A prime example of effective geothermal use in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity
where there are over 80 percent of private homes, are heated by geothermal power.
Solar and geothermal energy are just two of promising renewable alternatives to conventional
energy sources. The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on
global scale. 
Question 39. what is the main topic of this passage?
A. The benefits of solar and wind power over conventional energy sources.
B. Two types of alternative energy sources that should be further utilized.
C. How energy resources are tapped from nature.
D. Examples of the use of energy sources worldwide.
Question 40. which of the following words could best replace the word “abundant”?
A. a lot B. scarce C. little D. enough
Question 41. The word “it” in the second paragraph refers to_____________
A. solar energy B. the earth C. sunlight D. energy
consumption
Question 42. According to the passage, how is solar energy production similar to geothermal energy
production?

P a g e 10 | 12
A. They both require the use of a generator. B. They both use heat from the earth’s
surface.
C. They both require fairly simple technology. D. They are both conventional and costly.
Question 43. what best describes the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To warn people about the hazards of fossil fuel use.
B. To convince people of the benefits of developing alternative energy sources.
C. To describe the advantages and disadvantages of alternative energy use.
D. To outline the problems and solutions connected with global warming.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions from 44 to 51.
From smartphones and tablets to apps and social media, society is ambushed from all sides with
technology. Naturally, all generations embrace it differently, with younger “digital natives” generally
being more connected, more switched-on and more tech literate than older age groups.
According to Pew Research, 92% of Millennials (born 1981–1996) own smartphones, compared with
85% of Gen Xers (born 1965–1980) and 67% of Baby Boomers (born 1946–1964). In terms of tech
behavior, older generations tend to use their phones mostly for making calls, whereas for younger
generations, a phone is their digital window to the world. Phones are used for social media, going online,
texting, emailing, playing games, listening to music, and recording and watching videos.
The daily media consumption of different generations also vastly differs. Gen Z and Millennials favor
streaming and online services, with 46% of teens saying they use Netflix compared to 31% of those aged
over 16. Furthermore, 16-24s spend 30% of their downtime watching TV or video, compared to 40% of
time spent on these activities by the average UK adult. Boomers spend a whopping 344 minutes a day
watching regular TV, significantly more than any other age group.
Size also matters more depending on your decade of birth. Younger generations prefer smaller screens
sizes, opting for a smartphone as their go-to tech, while Generation X and technology newbies - the
Boomers, are going bigger, owning more desktops and tablets. Always in the front of the queue for the
hottest tech, younger generations see technology as an integral part of their existence, and since few
Millennials and Gen Z can remember a time without social media, they’re more fearless and carefree when
it comes to technology. So much so, that a LivePerson report revealed 65% of Millennials and Gen Z
interact more with each other online than they do in the real world.
Fundamentally, these behaviors and preferred technologies combine to create a technological generation
gap, where employees, shaped by their personal experiences, demonstrate different levels of ability and
willingness to adopt new tech. Constantly chasing the next update or device, switched on Millennials and
Gen Z are quick to lap up the latest apps, games, and platforms, while Gen X and Boomers are generally
slower to embrace technology - both at home and in the workplace.
