Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions from 21 to 24. (1 point)
Music has been integral to our lives. Not all types of music have favorable effects, for example, if it is too
loud or noisy or it distracts us from our work. However, in general, surprising benefits for health of music
exposure have been discovered.
Overall, music has beneficial effects in pain relief. Listening to music can reduce sensation caused by
chronic pain by up to 21% and depression by 25%. Music therapy, therefore, has been applied together with
medication to reduce pain during childbirth and surgeries.
Research also shows that music also modifies heartbeat and blood pressure within a positive range. The
heart beats faster as we listen to lively music and when the music slows, so do our heart and breath rate. In
another study, old people suffering from high blood pressure reported significantly lower blood pressure as a
result of listening to calm music after 30 minutes.
Apart from all those benefits, other effects are related to better sleep, strengthened memory and better
general health. Most researchers conclude that our preference of music doesn't play the main role, but the tempo
and the theme of the music we are exposed to are the most important factors that affect the remedy results.
Question 21. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Emotional and physical benefits of music B. How music affects our brain
C. Helpful health effects gained from music D. Music can reduce pain
Question 22. What is TRUE according to the passage?
A. All types of music can produce positive results on health.
B. Music hasn't replaced medicines during childbirth.
C. 25% of sensation caused by pain can be reduced by music.
D. Lively music is not good for heartbeat.
Question 23. What is the effect of music on people with high blood pressure?
A. Their blood pressure is slightly lowered.
B. Their blood pressure is greatly lowered.
C. Their blood pressure is lowered after listening to exciting music.
D. They can take less medicine.
D. Researchers have determined the most important factors in music therapy.
Question 24. What are the most important elements in music therapy?
A. The speed and theme of the music B. The rhythm and sound of the music
C. The type and sound of the music D. The rhythm and theme of the music

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on the answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 21 to 24 (1.0 point).
Donating to orphanages can make a big difference in the lives of children who do not have parents to care
for them. Orphanages provide shelter, food, education, and love to children who might otherwise be alone. Many
people choose to donate money, clothes, toys, or even their time to help support these children. Donations help
pay for things like school supplies, food, and medical care, which are all very important for a child’s growth and
well-being.
One example of how donations can help is when people give money to build new classrooms or buy computers
for the children. This allows them to learn new skills and gain an education, which can change their future.
Volunteers who donate their time by teaching or playing with the children help them feel cared for and loved. This
is very important because it makes the children feel delighted and supported.
However, it is not just about giving money. Sometimes, those generous people organize events to collect
donations or raise awareness about the needs of orphanages. These events bring communities together and
encourage more people to help. When people donate, they become part of a big team that supports children in
need and makes sure they have a brighter future. In the end, even small donations can have a big impact, and
every little bit counts.

From retail goods to food, 3D printing technology promises to change the way we think about everyday
things. It’s difficult to predict what impact it will have on manufacturing but, whatever the exact effects, they are
likely to be deep and long- lasting.
Also known as “additive manufacturing”, 3D printing refers to processes where an object is put together
by layering materials under programmed commands. Objects an be of almost any shape and are produced from
digital model data or other electronic data sources, such as an Additive Manufacturing File.
The invention of 3D printing opens the way for manufacturers to significantly reduce the production cost of
their goods by eliminating many steps in the manufacturing process and the complete production process, with
8
3D printing, what would have initially been a series of stages of production could be cut down to a designer at one
end, and the printer or “manufacturer” at the other.
Such reductions in the manufacturing process could affect both regional and international production
networks, possibly resulting in reduced capital requirements, warehousing and other logistics and transportation
needs. This change in production systems could potentially alter the very idea of nations’ economic security. It
could; for instance, destroy countries’ carefully laid development plans for creating employment and investment in
logistics and warehousing, regardless of economic development level. What might happen to global production
networks under such an influential technology?
(Adapted from https://theconversation.com/how-3d-printing-could-disrupt-asias-manufacturing-economies)
Question 21: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Future of 3D Printing Technology B. The Impact of 3D Printing Technology
C. The Introduction of 3D Printing Technology D. The Advantages of 3D Printing Technology
Question 22: The word “their” in paragraph 3 refers to _________.
A. objects’ B. processes’ C. manufacturers’ D. stages’
Question 23: The word “alter” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. remain B. change C. keep D. develop
Question 24: According to paragraph 4, what is TRUE about the impact of 3D printing on global production
networks?
A. It could result in reduced international trade.
B. It could lead to a decline in the use of digital model data.
C. It might encourage countries to invest more in logistics and warehousing.
D. It might have negative effects on the existing production networks.
