Read the following passage about single-use plastics 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.
Single-use plastics have become a major environmental issue in recent years. These plastics, designed to be used once and then discarded, include items like plastic bags, straws, cutlery, and water bottles. They are cheap, convenient, and durable, making them popular for various everyday applications. However, their widespread use and careless disposal have led to severe pollution. The oceans, in particular, are heavily affected by plastic waste, where millions of tons of plastic accumulate each year, harming marine life and ecosystems.
A significant concern with single-use plastics is that they are not biodegradable. Instead, they break down into tiny particles known as microplastics, which persist in the environment for hundreds of years. These microplastics can enter the food chain, affecting not only marine animals but also humans who consume seafood. Research has shown that microplastics are now present in a variety of foods and beverages, raising health concerns for consumers worldwide.
To address the issue, some governments and organizations have implemented policies to reduce single-use plastic consumption. For example, many countries now impose charges on plastic bags or have banned their use entirely. Some companies are also developing eco-friendly alternatives, such as biodegradable plastics or reusable items. These measures aim to encourage people to make more sustainable choices and reduce their environmental impact.
Technology and innovation also play a role in tackling plastic pollution. Scientists are working on new ways to break down plastics more effectively or create materials that decompose naturally. For instance, enzymes that digest plastics have been discovered, and researchers are exploring how to use these enzymes on a larger scale. With continuous efforts, there is hope that the detrimental effects of single-use plastics can be mitigated in the future.
Question 23: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a type of single-use plastic?
A. Water bottles
B. Cutlery
C. Food containers
D. Plastic bags

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 1 to 8.
Can Your Body Forget How to Digest Meat?
More and more people are choosing to eat less meat. Some do this for health reasons, while others want to help the environment. However, when people stop eating meat for a long time and then try to eat it again, they sometimes feel sick. They may have stomachaches and wonder if their bodies have “forgotten” how to digest meat. Although there is not much scientific research on this, some people believe it happens.
Experts say that even if science doesn’t fully explain this, stomach problems can still occur. However, these issues are not caused by an allergy to meat. True meat allergies are very rare. Sometimes, if vegetarians accidentally eat meat, they might feel sick because they believe it will make them unwell. But normally, the body has no problem digesting meat. It produces special proteins called enzymes, which help break down both meat and plant-based food.
The human body is very flexible. The enzymes used to digest meat also work for vegetables. If someone eats meat regularly, their stomach adapts to that diet. If they start eating meat again, their body will quickly adjust.
It is not true that the body “forgets” how to process meat. When people change their diet, the bacteria in their stomach change too, but their ability to digest protein stays the same. In fact, eating a lot of fiber suddenly can cause more stomach problems than eating meat after a long break.
So there is no need to worry. The body is very good at adjusting to different foods. If someone has stomach problems after eating meat again, the cause is likely something else, not the loss of their ability to digest it.

Read the following passage about AI in Healthcare 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 19 to 28.
[I] Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an integral part of healthcare, assisting in areas such as cancer screenings, medical translation, and virtual nursing. [II] Companies developing AI-driven tools claim they enhance efficiency and reduce the workload of medical professionals. [III] However, some experts raise concerns about whether these tools perform as effectively as claimed. [IV]
AI models, particularly large language models (LLMs), are trained using extensive datasets, but their evaluations are often inadequate. A review of AI assessments in healthcare found that only a small fraction involved real patient data. Most studies focused on testing medical knowledge rather than practical applications like prescription writing or patient communication. As a result, these benchmarks fail to accurately measure AI’s effectiveness in real clinical settings. Researchers argue that such limited evaluations create an unrealistic perception of AI’s capabilities, leading to premature deployment in healthcare environments.
Computer scientist Deborah Raji and her colleagues emphasize the need for more realistic and diverse evaluation methods. Current benchmarks are rigid and do not reflect the complexity of real-world medical tasks. Since they primarily assess physician-level knowledge, they overlook the perspectives of nurses and other healthcare workers. Raji suggests developing assessments based on actual clinical workflows and patient interactions, rather than relying on standardized exams that do not represent real-world applications.
To improve AI evaluation, researchers propose strategies such as gathering data from hospitals, analyzing real-world AI usage, and conducting adversarial testing to explore potential weaknesses. Transparency from hospitals and AI vendors regarding their evaluation processes and AI integration would also help create more accurate benchmarks. By focusing on real deployment scenarios, researchers can better assess AI’s strengths and limitations, ultimately ensuring safer and more effective applications in healthcare.

Read the following passage about the Tiger Mother approach, 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 34.
Is there a right way to bring up children? Some parents use guides to find an answer, many just follow their instinct. Whatever they do, a doubt always remains: could I have done a better job?
A recent contribution to the subject is Amy Chua’s controversial book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, which describes her approach to child-rearing of an ambitious, Chinese parent living in the West. According to Chua, western mothers are far too soft on their children. She says they are always praising their children for every effort they make, even if the result is coming last in a race or playing a piano piece badly. These are the kind of parents who will give in to their children’s demands to go out and play rather than to do their homework. If they protest loudly.
The tiger mother method is very different and the key is total control. Tiger mothers will accept nothing less than ‘A’ grades in every subject – failure to achieve these is just proof that they have not worked hard enough. They will encourage not with praise and reward, but by punishing and shaming. Chua told her own daughter that she would take her doll’s house to a charity shop if she failed to master a difficult piano piece. She even rejected a homemade birthday card from her daughter Sophia because she had drawn it in a hurry.
But Chua highlights another difference, says Chua, which is strictness and honesty. Tiger mother will not hesitate to tell their children that they are lazy, whereas western parents are always telling their children not to worry, that they will do better next time, even if they think they have been lazy. The constant nagging of the tiger mother, the banning of TV and computer games seems harsh, but perhaps it works. Chua’s children have not rebelled, and they don’t resent their strict upbringing. They regularly get top grades at school and are proficient at violin and piano-stereotypical symbols of success, critics would say. By contrast, children with more freedom and more laid-back parents will often lack self-discipline and will fail to push themselves to achieve more.

Read the following passage about Urbanization, and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 40.
Urbanization is the process of people moving from rural areas to cities, is a significant aspect of global development. This migration is often motivated by the pursuit of better employment opportunities, education, healthcare, and overall living conditions available in urban areas. However, the relationship between rural and urban areas, known as rural-urban linkages, is equally important.
[I] Rural-urban linkages are the connections and interactions between rural and urban areas. [II] For instance, rural areas supply cities with essential resources like food, water, and raw materials, while urban areas provide rural communities with markets, technology, and services. [III] Effective linkages can give a boost to economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve living standards in both rural and urban areas. [IV]
However, there are challenges to fostering effective rural-urban linkages. In many developing countries, inadequate infrastructure, limited access to technology, and poor policy coordination hinder these connections. Addressing these challenges requires comprehensive strategies that include investments in infrastructure, supportive policies, and inclusive planning. For example, enhancing transportation networks can facilitate better access to markets for rural producers, while improving digital connectivity can bridge information gaps.
In conclusion, understanding and enhancing rural-urban linkages is crucial for inclusive and sustainable development. By promoting stronger connections between rural and urban areas, we can create more resilient, prosperous, and balanced communities, ultimately contributing to overall national development and improved quality of life for all.
