📖 Section A: Reading Comprehension (15 Questions)

Passage 1 (8 Questions)

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

The digital revolution has transformed the way we communicate, learn, and work in the 21st century. While some argue that technology has made us more isolated, others believe it has brought people closer together in unprecedented ways. The truth, as is often the case, lies somewhere in between.

Social media platforms have created virtual communities where people can connect across geographical boundaries. These platforms have democratized communication, allowing anyone with an internet connection to share their thoughts and experiences with a global audience. However, the curated nature of social media often presents an idealized version of reality, potentially leading to social comparison and anxiety.

In the workplace, technology has enabled remote work, providing flexibility and work-life balance for many employees. Companies can now hire talent from anywhere in the world, creating diverse and inclusive work environments. Yet, the lack of face-to-face interaction can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation and reduced team cohesion.

Education has also been revolutionized by technology. Online learning platforms have made education accessible to millions who previously had limited opportunities. Students can learn at their own pace, accessing courses from prestigious institutions worldwide. However, the effectiveness of online education depends largely on the individual’s self-discipline and learning style.

Passage 2 (7 Questions)

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

Climate change represents one of the most significant challenges facing humanity in the 21st century. The scientific evidence is overwhelming: human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, are the primary drivers of global warming. The consequences are already being felt worldwide through rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and sea-level rise.

Individual actions play a crucial role in combating climate change. Simple lifestyle changes, such as reducing energy consumption, using public transportation, and supporting sustainable products, can collectively make a significant difference. However, individual efforts must be complemented by systemic changes at governmental and corporate levels.

Renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, offer promising alternatives to fossil fuels. These technologies have advanced significantly in recent years, becoming more efficient and cost-effective. Yet, transitioning to renewable energy requires substantial investment and infrastructure changes.

Education and awareness are fundamental to addressing climate change. When people understand the science behind climate change and its impacts, they are more likely to take action. Schools, media, and community organizations all have important roles to play in climate education.

The time for action is now. Every day of inaction makes future solutions more difficult and expensive. The choices we make today will determine the world our children and grandchildren inherit.
