Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The first reference to Bitcoin appeared in 2008, in a paper by a writer supposedly named Satoshi Nakamoto. However, the name turned out to be a pseudonym for a person or group who preferred to remain anonymous. A year later, Bitcoin was released as open-source software.
Bitcoin was not the first attempt at a cryptocurrency; others had existed in one form or another for nearly 50 years, but without much success. In a short space of time, though, Bitcoin became the first cryptocurrency to be widely traded internationally. The first Bitcoins were mined in January 2009; within 200 days, one million coins had been mined. By 2019, this had risen to over 17 million Bitcoins—worth a total of U.S. $65 billion—and more than 300,000 new transactions were taking place every day.
More sophisticated uses of this currency may occur in the future. In most cases, financial transactions involve exchange fees, taxes, and payment delays to guard against fraud. Virtual transactions, however, are speedy and cheap—and are settled immediately. And unlike a credit card exchange, where credit card numbers and security information are handed over completely for any transaction, a Bitcoin transfer is authorized only to pay a specific amount.
Virtual currencies also make it possible to make a digital payment without needing PayPal or a credit card. This is particularly useful in many parts of Africa, Latin America, and South Asia. Immigrants to developed countries may find it a convenient way to send funds back home to their families. Bitcoin supporter Jonathan Mohan says, “[I] The vast majority of people on the planet don’t even own a bank account [II]…. Just as in Africa, people went directly to cell phones. [III] In these developing nations, you’re not going to see them start getting bank accounts. [IV]”
The most obvious drawback is a lack of stability in the value of the currency. Bitcoin’s independence makes it more stable in principle than traditional currencies. In reality, though, its value has fluctuated wildly over the time it has been in existence. In 2012, the price of a Bitcoin was about U.S. $12; by December 2015, it had reached U.S. $400. Two years later, it reached a peak of almost U.S. $20,000, but then lost almost 80 percent of that value within a year. Those are some wild swings.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Recently, scientists discovered that though our brains are almost at their full size by the age of six, they are far from fully developed. Only during adolescence do our brains truly “grow up.” During this time, they go through great changes, like a computer system being upgraded. This “upgrade” was once thought to be finished by about age 12. Now, scientists have concluded that our brains continue to change until age 25. However, a still-developing brain does this clumsily. The result, scientists claim, is the unpredictable behavior seen in teenagers.
The studies confirm that teens are more likely to take risks and behave in extreme ways. Fortunately, the news isn’t all negative. As brain scientist B. J. Casey points out, the teen brain inspires such behavior in order to help teenagers prepare for adult life.
One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens measure risk and reward. Researchers found that when teens think about rewards, their brains release more of the chemicals that create pleasure than an adult brain would. Researchers believe this makes the rewards seem more important and rewarding than the risks, and makes teens feel the excitement of new experiences more keenly than adults do.
Unfortunately, this hunt for greater rewards can sometimes lead teens to make bad decisions. However, it also means that teens are more likely, and less afraid, to try new things or to be independent. The scientists’ findings suggest that in the long run, the impulses of the teen brain are what help teens leave their parents’ care and live their own lives successfully.
Question 23. The word “they” in paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. impulses
B. experiences
C. changes
D. brains
Question 24. The word “clumsily” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. violently
B. efficiently
C. awkwardly
D. cautiously
Question 25. The word “rewarding” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ______.
A. unforgiving
B. unfulfilling
C. unconvincing
D. unsurprising
Question 26. According to the passage, what can be inferred about adolescent and teenage behavior?
A. It is primarily driven by a desire for rebellion.
B. It originates mostly from a lack of social connections.
C. It serves a vital developmental purpose for future adulthood.
D. It decreases notably when teenagers meet entirely new people.
Question 27. Which sentence is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
A. Extreme behaviors naturally force teenagers into completely independent lives.
B. Biological developments encourage actions that ready adolescents for maturity.
C. Structural changes allow teenagers to avoid typical adult responsibilities.
D. Unpredictable actions prevent adolescents from successfully entering adulthood.
Question 28. According to the passage, all of the following statements concerning the development of the teenage brain are true EXCEPT:
A. It considers forming new social connections to be especially fulfilling.
B. It struggles to flawlessly balance sudden impulses with established rules.
C. It releases substantially fewer pleasure chemicals than adult brains do.
D. It is supposed to attain its almost complete physical size by age of six.
Question 29. In which paragraph is the idea that teenage brains are still developing until age 25 mentioned?
A. Paragraph 2
B. Paragraph 3
C. Paragraph 1
D. Paragraph 4
Question 30. In which paragraph is it mentioned the drawbacks of rewards?
