answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
Do you remember what you had for dinner two years ago today? Most of us won’t have a clue, but a small
number of people, including a California woman named Jill Price, can remember such events in great detail.
That’s because they all have a condition called highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM).
The type of memory associated with HSAM may be called autobiographical memory or eidetic memory.
People with this type of memory recall events, images, dates, even conversations, in extremely clear detail.
And they’re able to access these memories easily. When researchers studied Jill Price, for instance, they asked
her about events on specific days, and she almost always answered correctly. After several years of research,
they asked if she remembered dates of her appointments with them. Without pausing, she listed all those dates
correctly.
When you experience something, your brain stores it as a short-term memory. You probably remember
what you wore yesterday, but that memory will fade quickly. If the experience was meaningful, it may be
stored indefinitely as a long-term memory: many people, for example, will clearly remember where and when
they married even if this happened years ago. In people with HSAM, short-term memories are processed in

3
the normal way, but researchers have found that the accuracy and details of these actually improve over time
instead of going away.
To date, only around 100 people worldwide have been diagnosed with HSAM, and research on it is
growing as scientists hope to explore the ways our brain processes memory. This has the potential of helping
people with damaged memory, such as people who have amnesia or have had a brain injury.

A. Current scientific research on memory B. A rare condition related to human memory
C. Jill Price and her extraordinary memory D. Possible treatment for damaged memory
Question 40: According to paragraphs 1 and 2, what do we learn about Jill Price?
A. She is the only woman in the world who has HSAM.
B. She can accurately remember every event in her life.
C. For many years, researchers studied her condition.
D. It was found that she is best at remembering dates.

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 44 to 50.
The global market for plant-based meat, a type of meat made from plants, is projected to explode to 85
billion US dollars in 2030. Grocery stores are offering consumers an increasingly diverse array of burgers,
sausages, and seafood options that have no trace of animal products. But if you think a diet of plant-based
food is better for your health, you may want to look at the facts and seriously contemplate your choice before
reaching a decision.
According to one recent study, the nutritional benefit of plant-based foods is minimal. Researchers from
the Singapore Institute for Food and Biotechnology Innovation investigated the outcome of replacing bacon,
chicken, beef burgers and ice cream with animal-free versions. What they found was that diets which
substituted animal products with the plant-based alternatives were below the daily recommendations for
essential nutrients vitamin B12, calcium, potassium, zinc and magnesium, and higher in sodium, sugar and
saturated fat, all of which can be harmful to your body in excessive amounts.
Plant-based meat manufacturers argue their products contain similar amounts of protein that are
comparable in quality to animal protein. However, “foods contain hundreds to thousands of compounds that
are capable of impacting human health.”, says Stephan van Vliet at the Duke Molecular Physiology Institute.
In their own studies, Van Vliet and colleagues compared samples of different plant-based meat alternatives
with ground beef and found that 90 percent of them were different from each other. Plant-based meat
alternatives lacked certain essential amino acids and other substances like creatine, taurine and anserine,
which can all have an impact on our health and potentially brain function as well as muscle function.
Interestingly, Van Vliet also discovered that other beneficial substances like polyphenols and antioxidants
were found in greater quantities or only in plant-based meats, which denotes a complementary relationship
between plant and animal-based foods in our diet, where some nutrients are better obtained from animal
sources and others from plants.

A. studies B. colleagues C. samples D. alternatives
Question 48: The word “denotes” in paragraph 4 can be best replaced by ___________.

A. Plant-based meat has become the most popular item in a large number of stores.
B. Manufacturers will soon be able to create healthier versions of plant-based products.
C. Only comparing animal and plant-based meats in terms of protein quality is not enough.

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.
The hours we spend scrolling through our smartphones appear to be changing the shape of our skulls. This
may be the reason why some people — especially the younger crowd — are developing a weird, bony spike
just above their necks. This spike, known as an external occipital protuberance, appears at the lower end of the
skull, and is sometimes so large, you can feel it by pressing your fingers on the base of your skull.
A study published in the Journal of Anatomy found that the spike was becoming more frequent —
especially among 18 to 30-year-olds. David Shahar, the Australian health scientists who conducted the
research, believes the development was triggered by prolonged use of smartphones or tablets. As people tilt
their head forward to look at the screen, they put pressure on where the neck muscles meet the skull, so the
body then develops more bone layers to be able to withstand it, said Shahar.
In the study, Shahar and a colleague looked at the radiographs of 218 young patients, aged 18 to 30, to
determine how many had these spikes. In all, 41% of the group had an enlarged spike and 10% had an
especially large spike measuring at least 0.7 inches (20 mm), the doctors found. In general, enlarged spikes
were more common in males than in females. The largest spike belonged to a man, sticking out at 1.4 inches
(35.7 mm).
Shahar believes that the spikes will continue to grow in size as people keep hunching over their handheld
devices, but adds that they should not be very harmful and rarely cause serious medical issues. “But if you are
experiencing discomfort, maybe you should try improving your posture,” he said.

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.
Like many emergency responders, Nicholas Groom is used to stress at work. “I’ve always considered us a
bit of a weird group because we voluntarily go into situations that other people run away from,” says 29-year-
old Groom. On one hand, the stress can be helpful. “I find that when attending a serious incident, it helps me
to maintain focus on the situation.” On the other hand, the work can be highly pressurised. “Too much stress
can impair your ability to make decisions,” Groom adds. And Groom is not alone in his complicated
relationship with stress.
Many people believe that that there should be a balanced amount of stress. In other words, not too much
stress so you’re not overwhelmed but not too little stress so you don’t feel unmotivated. After all, some
anxiety is motivating; think of the adrenaline before a deadline or the excitement before a competition. Sports
fans sometimes even talk about a “gene” in some athletes who seem to play best in the decisive final moments
of a match. Furthermore, many psychologists claim that performance in many situations increases with stress
up to a point. Of course, any stress can cause harm when it’s prolonged. To take just one example, a long-term
high heart rate is linked to cardiovascular diseases. And additional stressors, such as financial pressures or
psychiatric issues, clearly affect how beneficially someone can respond to stress.
So is there a way to harness stress to your advantage while being mindful of its detrimental long-term
effects? One key factor is to avoid, whenever possible, the point when stress leads to mental and physical
collapse. Crystal Wernicke, 30, has always used stress as a motivator. But juggling between parenting, a full-
time job, a voluntary role and financial troubles at the same time became too much and eventually led to a
two-month period of illness. Another factor is the presence of control. For those who feel powerless over their
situation, stress is unlikely to be beneficial. Studies show that uncontrolled stress limits the functions managed
by the prefrontal cortex - the part of the brain that is responsible for working memory, which affects reasoning
and decision-making. But with some autonomy over stressful tasks, we are better able to convert that pressure
into higher performance.
When it comes to stress and how it affects your performance, it’s helpful to recognise the variations in
personality, type of stress and task that affect the level of pressure you are under, as well as understanding
tools you can use to control and harness that stress. Ultimately, it’s not helpful to take a one-sided view, either
demonising or glorifying stress. As James C Quick, a management professor at the University of Texas, sums
up: “Stress can be the kiss of death as well as the spice of life.”

answer to each of the questions from 30 to 36.
Our planet has over eight billion people, and this number keeps increasing by approximately 370,000
individuals each day. This rapid growth is putting a huge strain on Earth's natural resources. Governments
and environmental groups are now in a race to significantly cut down our resource usage before they become
depleted.
Water is one of our most precious resources. Our quality of life, as well as life itself, depends on the
availability of clean, fresh water. It is the most widely used resource in industry, and plays a major role in
energy production. Although 70 percent of the world is covered in water, only 2.5 percent of that is fresh
water, and less than one percent of that freshwater is readily available to us. Yet we often overestimate how
much water we have, and reduce it further through pollution or inefficient use.
Some 92 percent of all fresh water used annually is dedicated to growing plants and raising animals for
food. This means that if water runs out, our food supply might follow. In India, it is estimated that future
water shortages could reduce grain harvests by 25%. In a country where the population exceeds 1.2 billion
people and is growing rapidly every year, this is a huge concern. India, like many developing countries, is
already struggling to provide for its population. While most people in developed countries can get water at the
turn of a tap, nearly four billion people elsewhere lack access to safe water, according to United Nations
Development Report.
Rain forests are another endangered resource. While rain forests are critically important to humanity, they
are rapidly being destroyed by human activities. The biggest cause of deforestation is conversion of forest
land for agriculture. Often called the "Lungs of the Planet”, rain forests once covered 14 percent of the Earth's
land surface, but this has shrunk to only six percent. Every second, an area of rain forest, the size of a football
field, is destroyed at this rate. Rain forests will possibly disappear completely in less than 40 years.

In the future, cities will need to grow in a good way and not damage the environment. People who
manage cities in the future will have to consider a large number of things, including transportation, energy use
and green spaces. All of these will need to be improved to make future cities pleasant places to live.
Smart systems will run successful future cities, including self-driving vehicles powered by eco-friendly
fuels, such as electricity produced by solar panels or wind power. Transportation by car within the city will
actually be faster than now, because there will be less congestion. A lot more people will commute to and
from work on subway systems and in buses with their own lanes. Most trucks will disappear from city streets
because delivery of goods will be by drone.
Successful future cities will have a lot more green spaces than today, which will improve air quality and
reduce, to some extent, the worst effects of climate change. Research has shown that green spaces improve
mental health as well as physical health, so the people who live in these cities will generally be happier than
today. Although it will be expensive, new parks must be built. In addition, green spaces will also be put on top
of buildings, private and public, and trees will be planted alongside all streets.

When it comes to education options for school-leavers, there are several paths to consider. One common
option is pursuing higher education at a university or college. This path typically involves obtaining a
bachelor’s degree in a chosen field of study, which can provide a solid foundation for various career
opportunities. Universities and colleges offer a wide range of academic programs, allowing school-leavers to
explore their interests and specialize in areas that align with their career aspirations.
Another option for school-leavers is vocational education and training (VET) programs. VET
emphasizes providing practical skills and knowledge that directly apply to specific industries or trades. These
programs offer hands-on training, preparing individuals for careers in fields such as healthcare, information
16
technology, construction, hospitality, and automotive industries. VET programs often include apprenticeships
or internships, allowing students to gain valuable work experience while studying.
For those who prefer a more experiential approach, apprenticeships can be a valuable education option.
Apprenticeships combine on-the-job training with classroom instruction, allowing school-leavers to earn
while they learn. They provide a unique opportunity to gain practical skills and industry-specific knowledge
directly from professionals in the field. Apprenticeships are available in a variety of industries, such as
construction, culinary arts, electrical work, and healthcare.
Ultimately, the choice of education option for school-leavers depends on individual interests, goals, and
learning preferences. Whether it’s pursuing higher education at a university, enrolling in a vocational
program, or embarking on an apprenticeship, each path offers distinct advantages and can lead to rewarding
career paths. It's important for school-leavers to explore and evaluate these options carefully to make an
informed decision that aligns with their aspirations and sets them on a path to success.

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 37 to 41.
Independence and personal choice are considered as a high value on Australians place. Therefore,
rather than telling students exactly what to do, teachers and course tutors give them a few different options
and suggest they pick the one that works best for them. They also expect students to take charge if things
don't go as planned and to find help and support on their own.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth. This
means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend the
reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.
17
 Australians are uncomfortable with disparity in social status and therefore admire the concept of
treating everyone equally. An example of this is how the majority of Australian adults address each other
by their first names. This emphasis on equality results in Australians feeling uneasy about taking things too
seriously and being willing to make jokes about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a consequence,
some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study. Australian notions of
privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and relationships are only discussed with
close friends. While people may volunteer such information, they may resent someone actually asking
them unless the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to ask someone
what they earn.

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.
Altruism is a type of behavior in which an animal sacrifices its own interest for that of another animal or
group of animals. Altruism is the opposite of selfishness; individuals performing altruistic acts gain nothing
for themselves.
Examples of altruism abound, both among humans and among other mammals. Unselfish acts among
humans range from the sharing of food with strangers to the donation of body organs to family members, and
even to strangers. Such acts are altruistic in that they benefit another, yet provide little reward to the one
performing the act.
In fact, many species of animals appear willing to sacrifice food, or even their life, to assist other members
of their group. The meerkat, which is a mammal that dwells in burrows in grassland areas of Africa, is often
cited as an example. In groups of meerkats, an individual acts as a sentinel, standing guard and looking out
for predators while the others hunt for food or eat food they have obtained. If the sentinel meerkat sees a
predator such as a hawk approaching the group, it gives an alarm cry alerting the other meerkats to run and
seek shelter. By standing guard, the sentinel meerkat gains nothing—it goes without food while the others
eat, and it places itself in grave danger. After it issues an alarm, it has to flee alone, which might make it
more at risk to a predator, since animals in groups are often able to work together to fend off a predator. So
the altruistic sentinel behavior helps ensure the survival of other members of the meerkat’s group.

Question 37: What is the passage mainly about?

A. A type of behavior among humans and animals
B. A means of communication among humans being
C. A special manner that is exclusive to human beings

A. sharing of food with strangers

C. the donation of body organs to strangers
D. working hard to earn a decent living
Question 40: The word “sentinel” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to __________.

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.
About the time that schools and others quite reasonably became interested in seeing to it that all children,
whatever their background, were fairly treated, intelligence testing became unpopular.
Some thought it was unfair to minority children. Through the past few decades such testing has gone out
of fashion and many communities have indeed forbidden it.
However, paradoxically, just recently a group of black parents filed a lawsuit in California claiming that
the state’s ban on IQ testing discriminates against their children by denying them the opportunity to take the
test . They believed correctly, that IQ tests are a valid method of evaluating children for special education
classes. The judge, therefore, reversed, at least partially, his original decision.

22
 And so the argument goes on and on. Does it benefit or harm children from minority groups to have their
intelligence tested? We have always been on the side of permitting, even facilitating, such testing. If a child
of any color or group is doing poorly in school it seems to us very important to know whether it is because he
or she is of low intelligence, or whether some other factor is the cause.
What school and family can do to improve poor performance is influenced by its cause. It is not
discriminative to evaluate either a child’s physical condition or his intellectual level.
Unfortunately, intellectual level seems to be a sensitive subject, and what the law allows us to do varies
from time to time. The same fluctuation back and forth occurs in areas other than intelligence. Thirty years or
so ago, for instance, white families were encouraged to adopt black children. It was considered discriminative
not to do so.
Then the style changed and this cross-racial adopting became generally unpopular, and social agencies felt
that black children should go to black families only. It is hard to say what the best procedures are. But surely
good will on the part of all of us is needed.
As to intelligence, in our opinion, the more we know about any child’s intellectual level, the better for the
child in question.

Question 42. Why did the intelligence test become unpopular in the past few decades?
A. Its validity was challenged by many communities.
B. It was considered discriminative against minority children.
C. It met with strong opposition from the majority of black parents.
D. It deprived the black children of their rights to a good education.
Question 43. The recent legal action taken by some black parents in California aimed to__________
A. draw public attention to IQ testing B. put an end to special education
C. remove the state’s ban on intelligence tests D. have their children enter white schools
Question 44. The word “valid” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. virtually denied B. officially accepted
C. partially reasonable D. mostly impossible
Question 45. It is believed that intelligence testing_____________.
A. may ease racial confrontation in the United States
B. can encourage black children to keep up with white children
C. may seriously aggravate racial discrimination in the United States
D. can help black parents make decisions about their children’s education
Question 46. The word “it” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _________
A. poor performance B. physical condition C. school D. family
Question 47. The word “varies” in the paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to .
A. remains B. changes C. worsens D. improves
Question 48. Child adoption is mentioned in the passage to show that_________________.
A. good will may sometimes complicate racial problems

C. intelligence testing also applies to non-academic areas
D. American opinion can shift when it comes to sensitive issues

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word for each of the questions from 44 to 50.
The preservation of natural resources is a critical challenge that requires innovative solutions and
technological advancements. As the global population grows and the demand for resources accelerates, the
need for smarter, more efficient methods of conservation becomes paramount. Innovation in this field is not
just about creating new technologies but also about rethinking our approach to resource management.
Technological advancements have the potential to revolutionize the way we use and conserve natural
resources. For instance, advancements in renewable energy technologies, such as solar and wind power, are
reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and helping to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Similarly, precision
agriculture uses data and technology to optimize crop yields and reduce waste, thereby conserving water and
soil quality.
Innovation also plays a role in monitoring and protecting ecosystems. Cutting-edge tools like satellite imagery
and drones provide valuable data on deforestation, wildlife populations, and environmental changes. This
information is crucial for making informed decisions about conservation efforts and for tracking the
effectiveness of those efforts over time.
Water resources, essential for all life, are under increasing stress due to pollution and overuse. Innovative
water purification and desalination technologies are expanding access to clean water, while smart irrigation
systems ensure that crops receive the right amount of water at the right time, minimizing waste.
The role of technology in resource conservation is not limited to large-scale projects. On a smaller scale, apps
and devices that monitor energy and water usage can empower individuals to make more sustainable choices
in their daily lives. These user-friendly tools make it easier for people to understand their impact on the
environment and that they should take steps to reduce it.
