space exploration, [II]the technologies that have enabled our journeys beyond Earth, and the
future of this exciting field. [IV]
 The journey began in ancient times when astronomers observed celestial bodies using simple
telescopes. However, the modern era of space exploration really took off in the mid-20th
century. In 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, marking the
beginning of the space age. This achievement set the stage for a fierce competition known as the
Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union.
One of the most significant milestones occurred in 1969 when NASA’s Apollo 11 mission
successfully landed humans on the Moon. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took
historic steps on the lunar surface, proving that human ingenuity could overcome the challenges
of space travel. This achievement not only expanded our understanding of the Moon but also

Read the following passage about the A Complex Dialogue Between Eras 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]The "generation gap" refers to the growing divergence between the values, attitudes, and
behaviors of younger and older generations. [II]This divide is often marked by differences in
perspectives on technology, work ethics, social issues, and cultural norms. While this gap can
sometimes lead to friction and misunderstanding, [III]. The rapid advancements in technology,
particularly in the digital realm, have become one of the most significant forces stoking the
flames of this divide. [IV]
Younger generations, often labeled as "digital natives," are immersed in a world dominated
by social media, constant connectivity, and digital tools. These elements shape their worldview,
emphasizing individualism, instant communication, and a fast-paced lifestyle. In contrast, older
generations, who grew up in more analog environments, may view such rapid changes with
skepticism. The use of technology in daily life can sometimes appear overwhelming or
intrusive to them, which can cause generational misunderstandings.
However, despite these challenges, the generation gap is not inherently destructive. It can
encourage cross-generational collaboration, where each generation offers valuable insights. For
instance, younger people can bring fresh perspectives and technological expertise, while older
generations can impart wisdom, experience, and traditional knowledge. Embracing both
perspectives can lead to the creation of a more balanced, innovative, and sustainable society.
Ultimately, the generation gap should not be seen as a divide, but rather as a dynamic
exchange that can enrich both generations, enabling them to learn from each other and adapt to
the changing world together.

Read the following passage about The Devastating Effects of Global Warming 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.
Global warming refers to the long-term rise in Earth’s average temperature, largely driven
by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. The accumulation of
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere traps heat, causing the planet to warm at an accelerated rate.
This change in climate has numerous harmful effects on both the environment and human
societies.
 One of the most significant consequences of global warming is the rising sea levels. As
glaciers and polar ice caps melt, the additional water flows into the oceans, causing sea levels to
rise. Coastal cities and islands are at high risk of flooding, which could displace millions of
people. In addition to rising sea levels, global warming has intensified extreme weather events,
such as more powerful hurricanes, prolonged droughts, and destructive wildfires, all of which
result in widespread damage to infrastructure and loss of life.
Another major impact is the loss of biodiversity. Many plant and animal species are unable
to adapt to the rapidly changing climate, leading to habitat destruction and extinction. Coral
reefs, which are vital to marine ecosystems, are dying due to warmer oceans. This loss threatens
food security as many species are essential to agriculture and fisheries.
While the situation is dire, action can still be taken. Reducing carbon emissions, switching
to renewable energy, and preserving forests are key steps in mitigating global warming.
Immediate action is critical to prevent further damage and ensure a sustainable future for the
planet.
Question 23: Which of the following actions is specifically mentioned in the passage as a way to
mitigate global warming?
A. Reducing carbon emissions
B. Promoting space exploration
C. Increasing agricultural production
D. Expanding urban areas

Read the following passage about the Rising Temperatures, Rising Tensions: The Battle for
Our Future 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.
Climate change is one of the most urgent challenges facing the world today. [I]As global
temperatures rise, extreme weather events like heatwaves, storms, and flooding become more
frequent. [II], leading to food insecurity, water shortages, and rising sea levels. [III]Developing
countries, which are least prepared to handle these effects, are left high and dry, facing the
greatest risks. [IV]
The political implications of climate change are also significant. Countries are divided over
how to address the crisis. Some argue for immediate action to reduce carbon emissions, while
others prioritize economic growth. Disagreements often arise between developed and developing
nations. Wealthier countries urge poorer nations to limit their emissions, while the latter argue
that industrialized nations have contributed more to the crisis historically. This division makes
finding a global solution challenging.
Despite these obstacles, there is still hope. International agreements like the Paris
Agreement show that progress is possible, but they must be followed by real action. Nations
need to invest in renewable energy, protect ecosystems, and adopt policies that reduce carbon
footprints. Additionally, individuals can contribute by making environmentally conscious
choices in their daily lives.
