Conservation efforts focus on protecting endangered species, preserving biodiversity, and ensuring that future generations can enjoy the benefits of a healthy environment. Many organizations, such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), work to prevent species from going extinct and advocate for sustainable practices. One critical area of conservation is habitat preservation. Forests, wetlands, and coral reefs are home to countless species, each playing a unique role in the ecosystem. When these habitats are destroyed, the species that rely on them may also vanish. Deforestation, for instance, not only endangers animal species but also contributes to climate change by releasing stored carbon into the atmosphere. Another important conservation strategy is the establishment of protected areas. National parks and wildlife reserves are set aside specifically to safeguard endangered species and their habitats. These areas offer a refuge where animals and plants can thrive without the threat of human interference. In many cases, governments and conservationists work together to manage these regions and monitor the species within them. Conservation efforts also involve raising public awareness. By educating people about the importance of the environment and how they can help, organizations hope to inspire action at the individual level. Simple actions, such as recycling, reducing energy consumption, and avoiding single-use plastics, contribute to environmental protection. In the end, conservation is not just the responsibility of governments and organizations, but of every person on the planet. 6

Psychologists have found many advantages and disadvantages to online dating. Among the many criticisms aimed at online dating, the most severe concern is its effects on people's self-esteem and mental health. Swipe left or right is the main feature of popular dating apps, where users quickly look at profiles. However, this system is criticized for being superficial. A study showed that users often feel less satisfied with their appearance. Jessica Strubel found that after a while, users begin to feel less like unique, special individuals and more like they're disposable. This feeling leads to users becoming increasingly sensitive about their looks and bodies, heightening self-consciousness. Dating apps also added to the idea that there's always something better around the corner, which further pressures users into trying to appear more attractive. Dating apps not only harm self-esteem but also alter perceptions of relationships. By accelerating the dating process, these apps encourage poor social behavior. For instance, it's not unusual for people to ignore "likes" and messages or to lose interest and cut 7
8. off communication. This behavior would have been considered extremely rude in the past. But with online dating, it is a common reality. Furthermore, thirty-five percent of users actually reported feeling pessimistic about dating. Only twenty-eight percent of surveyed users reported feeling hopeful after using a dating site or app. Question 48. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2? A. Users appear more attractive on dating apps than in real life. B. Users are not interested in one another's looks. C. Users often find more attractive partners on dating apps. D. Dating apps pressure users to look attractive. Question 49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Psychologists have identified only negative aspects of online dating. B. Thirty-five percent of users reported feeling hopeful about dating. C. A study revealed that users frequently feel more content with their appearance. D. Dating apps not only negatively impact self-esteem but also change how people view relationships. Question 50. The word “profiles” in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to _____. A. survey B. outline C. description D. invitation Question 51. In which paragraph does the writer mention the greatest concern regarding online dating? A. Paragraph 4 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D.

Choose the best answer (A, B, C, or D) for each question. Technological advancements have transformed modern society, bringing both convenience and challenges. Innovations such as smartphones, artificial intelligence, and the internet have changed the way people communicate, work, and access information. While these technologies offer many benefits, they also raise questions about privacy, mental health, and social interactions. One significant impact of technology is on communication. Smartphones and social media have made it easier than ever to stay in touch with friends and family, regardless of location. However, some studies suggest that heavy use of social media may contribute to feelings of loneliness and depression, particularly among young people. This is because 8
9. online interactions can sometimes replace face-to-face communication, which is essential for building meaningful relationships. Another area influenced by technology is the workplace. Automation and artificial intelligence are now used to perform tasks that were once done by humans, such as data analysis and customer service. While this increases efficiency, it also raises concerns about job security, as some fear that machines may eventually replace human workers. Many experts believe that while some jobs may be lost, new ones will be created as technology continues to evolve. Lastly, privacy has become a growing concern in the digital age. With so much personal information stored online, individuals face the risk of data breaches and identity theft. Companies and governments are working to strengthen cybersecurity, but protecting personal data remains a challenge. As technology advances, it is essential for individuals to be aware of these risks and take steps to protect their privacy. Question 56. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an impact of technology? A. Privacy concerns B. Job security issues C. Improvements in physical health D. Communication changes Question 57. The word "efficiency" in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to: A. Productivity B. Wastefulness C. Speed D. Effectiveness Question 58. The word "this" in paragraph 3 refers to: A. Communication changes B. Automation and artificial intelligence C. New job creation D. Workplace challenges. Question 59. The word "transformed" in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by: A. expanded B. changed C. limited D. created Question 60. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4? A. Storing information online can sometimes lead to security issues. B. The amount of personal information online has made cybersecurity essential. C. Individuals may encounter risks to their privacy due to online data storage. D. Identity theft and data breaches happen frequently online. ______THE END______ 9
