Read the following passage 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.
In sports, we expect that athletes and teams will play to win. In some unusual cases, however, trying to lose
may be better. In the 2018 FIFA World Cup, England played Belgium. The winners would play great teams like
Brazil or France in future games. The losing team would still advance but would play less famous teams like
Denmark or Sweden and therefore, would have easier games and more chances to win the whole competition.
In the end, Belgium won the game. But for England, losing did not feel like a failure. The team easily reached
the semi-final, the country’s best result in almost 30 years.
In some North American sports leagues, losing can also mean winning. However, a team must lose many
games in some years in order to win in future years. The reason is something called a draft. Each year, every
team gets a chance to add the best young players from around the country. Teams with very bad records get
the first chances to pick players. So, losing a lot gives a team a good chance to draft a great young player.
With drafting, a team can add several top players to improve very quickly, or even to become good enough
to win a championship. In baseball, for example, the Chicago Cubs lost game after game for years. However,
the drafted players afterward were so good that the Cubs won the baseball World Series in 2016.
When a team tries to lose too often in order to draft great players, it is called “tanking.” This is sometimes
unpopular with fans, but it is not against the rules. To do this, trading players is a common way. A tanking team
can trade its best players to other teams. In return, it can get extra draft picks.

Read the following passage 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] A decade ago, most employers would have balked at the idea of employees regularly working from
home. [II] One major concern most employers had for working remotely was a loss of productivity. [III]
Prodoscore, for example, reported that remote workers' productivity increased 47 percent during the lockdown
in March and April 2020, finding out that communication activities such as emailing, telephoning and chat
messaging all climbed. [IV]
Other recent studies indicate that remote work options increase job satisfaction. Buffer’s 2023 State of
Remote Work report found that 91 percent of survey respondents enjoyed working remotely, with flexibility
listed as the biggest benefit. Additionally, in 2022, McKinsey surveyed 25,000 workers across a range of
industries about their remote work experience. According to the study, seeking out flexible work environments
is the third reason why people search for new jobs (better pay/hours and career opportunities are the others).
Remote work is such a large priority for workers that 87 percent of the respondents said that when offered the
chance to work remotely, they would take it.
There was a time when remote work as we know it wasn’t even a possibility, because the technology didn’t
exist. If your colleagues and business partners wanted to get in touch with you when you were out of the office,
they couldn’t email, text or direct message to you. You would’ve needed to provide an alternative phone
number or email to have a work-related conversation. “Ten years ago, remote employment basically meant a
telemarketing or customer service position at below minimum wage,” said Samantha Lambert, director of
human resources at Centific. “It was rarely connected with a full-time career. Now, technology affords us the
ability to get the same job done, no matter where in the world we are.”
“The modern workforce is increasingly mobile, collaborative and dynamic, and comprises multi-
generations, all with different communication preferences,” said Stacey Epstein, chief marketing officer at
Freshworks. “These workers span multiple industries … all of whom represent unique challenges when it comes
to staying connected while on the job.”
However, many companies continue to resist this work trend for various reasons. Some business owners
may fear a lack of productivity in their employees, while others haven’t invested in teleconferencing and
telework tech to support remote workers. Still, some businesses are making the necessary investments to
support remote work.

necessary investments.
B. Some business owners worry that their employees may not be productive, while others haven’t allocated
funds for teleconferencing and telework tech to assist remote workers.
C. While a majority of business owners doubt their employees’ efficiency, others avoid investing in
teleconferencing and telework tech for remote workers.
D. Teleconferencing and telework tech are costly, so some business owners refuse to provide them for remote
workers.
Question 39: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

based work.
B. Remote work is only beneficial for employees, while businesses do not gain any advantages from this model.

D. Stacey Epstein finds it more difficult to get in touch with younger employees than older ones.
Question 40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?

thanks to technological advancements, significantly boosting productivity and job satisfaction, yet some
companies
remain hesitant to invest in remote work technologies.
B. Recent studies demonstrate remote workers experience increased productivity and job satisfaction due to
modern technology facilitating remote communication; nevertheless, the majority of companies now fully
embrace remote work without significant resistance or concerns about productivity.
C. While remote work became viable only recently due to technological advancements, resulting in increased
job satisfaction and flexibility, many employers remain hesitant because modern technology still cannot fully
replace
face-to-face communication effectively in all industries.
