Graduation is a significant milestone that marks the end of an educational journey and the beginning of a

decisions and increase their chances of success in their chosen career.
While the process of choosing a career can be challenging, it is important for graduates to remain flexible

Read the following passage about urbanization and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Urbanization refers to the increasing population shift from rural to urban areas, resulting in the growth of
cities and metropolitan regions (Hall, 2014). [II] This phenomenon is driven by various factors, including
economic opportunities, improved living standards, and social amenities available in urban centers. [III] As a
result, urbanization significantly impacts both individuals and communities, leading to a range of benefits and
challenges (Davis, 2016). [IV]
One of the primary advantages of urbanization is the economic growth it fosters. Cities often provide a
plethora of job opportunities, attracting individuals seeking better employment and higher incomes. In urban
areas, businesses flourish due to increased demand for goods and services, leading to enhanced economic
productivity. Moreover, urbanization encourages innovation and technological advancements, as a dense
concentration of people often fosters creativity and collaboration (Florida, 2017).
However, urbanization also presents significant challenges. Rapid population growth in cities can lead to
overcrowding, straining public services such as transportation, healthcare, and education. Many urban areas
struggle to provide adequate housing, resulting in the proliferation of informal settlements and slums.
According to the United Nations (2018), nearly one billion people live in slums, lacking access to basic
services. They also face adverse living conditions. This situation exacerbates social inequality and can lead to
increased crime rates and health issues.
To address the challenges of urbanization, sustainable urban planning is essential. Governments and urban
planners must prioritize creating inclusive, well-connected cities that provide access to essential services
for all residents. Strategies such as developing affordable housing, enhancing public transport systems, and

7
promoting green spaces can help improve the quality of life in urban areas while mitigating the negative
impacts of urbanization (World Bank, 2019).

Read the following passage about lifelong learning and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Lifelong learning is the ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge for personal or
professional development (Knowles, 2020). [II] This concept emphasizes that learning does not stop after
formal education, but rather continues throughout an individual's life, adapting to changing circumstances and
needs. [III] In today’s fast-paced world, where technology and job markets evolve rapidly, lifelong learning
has become increasingly essential. [IV]
One of the primary benefits of lifelong learning is its ability to enhance employability. Individuals who
engage in continuous education are more likely to keep their skills relevant and competitive in the job market.
According to a report by the World Economic Forum (2021), over 50% of employees will need reskilling due
to technological advancements in the coming years. Lifelong learners are better equipped to adapt to these
changes, making them more attractive candidates for employers.
Moreover, lifelong learning contributes to personal fulfillment and mental well-being. Engaging in new
learning experiences can stimulate the brain, foster creativity, and improve cognitive function. Research
indicates that individuals who pursue learning opportunities throughout their lives tend to report higher levels
of happiness and life satisfaction (Smith & Johnson, 2019). Whether it is taking a course, learning a new
language, or picking up a new hobby, the process of acquiring knowledge can be enriching and enjoyable.
In addition, lifelong learning promotes social engagement and community involvement. Participating in
educational programs or community workshops can foster connections with others who share similar interests.
This social aspect of learning can enhance one's sense of belonging and support networks, which are crucial
for mental health (Jones, 2022).
Overall, lifelong learning is not just an individual responsibility; it requires support from educational
institutions, employers, and communities to create an environment conducive to continuous education. By
fostering a culture of learning, society can better prepare individuals for the challenges of the future and
ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Read the following passage about wildlife conservation and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Wildlife conservation is a crucial endeavour that aims to protect animal species and their habitats. This effort
is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ensuring the health of our ecosystems. Human activities such as
deforestation, pollution, and climate change are some of the primary threats to wildlife. Conservation initiatives
strive to mitigate these impacts through various strategies.
One significant aspect of wildlife conservation is the establishment of protected areas. National parks,
wildlife reserves, and marine protected areas are created to provide safe havens for endangered species. These
areas not only protect wildlife but also offer opportunities for scientific research and eco-tourism, which can
benefit local economies.
Another important approach is the reintroduction of species into their natural habitats. This method has been
successful in bringing several species back from the brink of extinction. Conservationists carefully monitor and
support these reintroduced populations to ensure their survival.

14
 Education and awareness campaigns play a pivotal role in wildlife conservation as well. By educating the
public about the importance of biodiversity and the threats facing wildlife, these campaigns foster a sense of
responsibility and encourage community involvement in conservation efforts.
Technological advancements are also aiding conservation efforts. Innovations such as satellite tracking,
DNA analysis, and drone surveillance help researchers gather critical data and monitor wildlife populations
more effectively. These tools enable more informed decision-making and efficient conservation strategies.

A. Deforestation B. Pollution C. Climate change D. Urbanization
Question 24. The word "establishment" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to:

Read the following passage about climate change and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, affecting ecosystems, biodiversity, and
human communities across the globe. [II] Scientists warn that unless greenhouse gas emissions are significantly
reduced, the Earth's climate may experience irreversible damage. [III] The consequences of climate change are
widespread, impacting weather patterns, agricultural productivity, and health conditions worldwide. [IV]
One of the primary causes of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas, which
releases large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere. This gas traps heat, leading to a rise in
global temperatures, a phenomenon known as global warming. Another major contributor is deforestation, as
trees play a critical role in absorbing CO₂. When forests are destroyed, that CO₂ is released, adding to the
atmosphere's greenhouse effect.
The impacts of climate change are already evident in various forms. Rising sea levels are causing coastal
erosion and increasing the frequency of flooding, which endangers millions living in low-lying areas.
Additionally, extreme weather events like hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves are becoming more common
and severe. These events not only damage infrastructure but also pose serious risks to human health and food
security.
Addressing climate change requires a collaborative, global response. Many governments have joined
international agreements, like the Paris Agreement, aiming to limit global temperature rise and reduce
emissions. However, it is crucial for individuals and businesses to also play a part by reducing their carbon
footprint through actions such as conserving energy, reducing waste, and supporting renewable energy sources.
