Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct option.
Music has always been an essential element of human culture, evolving dramatically alongside technology and societal change. Centuries ago, classical composers spent years mastering instruments and writing elaborate musical compositions that could only be heard through live orchestra performances. To enjoy these symphonies, listeners had to attend formal concert halls in person. Experiencing music in this traditional era was a rare, localized privilege reserved primarily for aristocratic audiences.

However, the rapid development of modern media completely revolutionized how people create and consume musical art. In the twentieth century, radio and television began to broadcast live performances directly to mass households. Not long after, recording studios made it possible for artists to produce physical records and release their debut albums to listeners worldwide. Music was no longer confined to local auditoriums; instead, it quickly transformed into a powerful cultural phenomenon that crossed national boundaries.

Today, digital platforms have further reshaped the landscape of the entertainment industry. Talented musicians no longer need a contract with an enormous corporate studio to reach global fame. By simply uploading cover videos or original tracks onto the internet, independent creators can capture a massive international audience within days. Catchy melodies with touching lyrics now travel across social channels, generating instant pop idols and allowing global music festivals to draw tens of thousands of fans into packed stadiums.

Despite these modern transformations, the fundamental nature of music remains the same. Whether an individual listens to a complex classical rhythm or a simple mainstream tune, music continues to connect different generations and cheer people up during stressful times. It is this enduring emotional power that ensures music will carry on shaping human lives for centuries to come.

Question 23. Which of the following best states the main idea of the reading?
A. Classical music is still the only art form that aristocratic audiences respect.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct option.
In recent decades, global warming and severe climate change have emerged as some of the most critical challenges confronting our planet. Extreme weather events, devastating droughts, and rising sea levels continue to threaten fragile natural ecosystems. While large-scale industrial activities are the primary contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, daily domestic routines also play an appreciable role in escalating environmental degradation. From generating colossal amounts of household rubbish to squandering electricity through inefficient appliances, modern human habits place an unsustainable burden on the earth’s natural resources.

One of the most pressing dilemmas involves the overwhelming reliance on single-use plastics. Items such as thin shopping bags, disposable food containers, and takeaway packaging are designed for temporary convenience, yet they take hundreds of years to break down completely in landfills. When communities fail to organize systematic waste collection, tons of litter are carelessly discarded into waterways and oceans, releasing hazardous chemicals and causing catastrophic harm to marine wildlife. Furthermore, chopping down ancient forests to supply raw materials for commercial packaging severely diminishes the earth’s capacity to absorb carbon dioxide, driving ecological degradation even further.

Recognizing these alarming consequences, a growing number of citizens and municipal governments are taking active steps to reverse the damage. Across modern communities, adopting green living has shifted from being a niche trend to a compulsory civic obligation. Local authorities are enforcing mandatory waste sorting programs, ensuring that recyclable materials such as glass, cardboard, and aluminum are systematically reclaimed rather than thrown away. At an individual level, households are actively reducing their carbon footprint by switching off unnecessary electrical devices, utilizing refillable water bottles, and choosing eco-friendly, organic alternatives in place of chemical-laden products.

Ultimately, achieving genuine environmental sustainability requires harmonizing ambitious governmental policies with responsible domestic behavior. When every household shares the responsibility of minimizing waste and conserving energy, these collective efforts act as a powerful barrier that curbs the destructive trajectory of climate change. Protecting the natural world is no longer merely an option; it is an enduring commitment to preserving a liveable planet for future generations.

Read the following passage and choose the correct heading for each paragraph from the list of headings below.
List of Headings

i. Music comes to be enjoyed in a large variety of situations

ii. More people gain access to live music

iii. A focus on survival limits the practice of classical music

iv. A clash of musical styles takes place

v. A range of scientific advances brings music to a wider audience

vi. Listening to music being limited to live performances

vii. How classical music has managed to survive for centuries

A. Great art, including classical music, rarely develops in societies where people have to worry only about basic survival needs like finding food and shelter. Art and music only grow well during times when people have free time and enough wealth. In medieval Europe, this meant that music and learning mainly existed inside protected places like churches, monasteries, and royal palaces.

B. Things changed significantly in the 18th century with the growth of a wealthy middle class. For the first time, going to concerts became an activity open to regular members of the public who could afford a ticket. Before this period, playing music in concert halls for paying listeners did not really happen. In fact, public venues, paying audiences, and the idea of classical masterpieces were largely created during the 18th century across major European cities.

C. Over the past century, technological developments have completely transformed how we listen to music. Thomas Edison invented sound recording in the late 19th century, and by the 1920s, recorded music was widely sold to the public. Later, vinyl records were replaced by CDs, which were quickly replaced by digital MP3 files. Today, a simple smartphone can hold more songs than an entire room filled with physical record collections in the past.

D. Before recording technology existed, people could only hear music when it was performed live by musicians in front of them. As soon as the musicians stopped playing, the sound was gone. Because of this, listeners almost never heard pieces from ancient times or far-away countries; they only heard songs played live by local artists at that specific time and location.

E. Today, mobile devices let anyone listen to music anytime, anywhere. Music is no longer tied to a formal hall or an organized gathering. Instead, listening has become a private activity that people can enjoy while doing everyday tasks—such as traveling to work, exercising, cooking, or relaxing at home.

F. Even though music is everywhere today, people often forget the main reason classical music has survived through time: musical notation (written notes). In the ninth century, monks started writing music down so singers would not have to memorize hundreds of religious songs. Over time, this written system allowed composers to develop and preserve complex melodies over hundreds of years, keeping the classical tradition alive today.
