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 following questions from 23 to 30.

CAREER CHOICES

        In the past, the path from high school to a career was often linear and predictable. A student would graduate, perhaps attend university, join a company, and steadily climb the corporate ladder until retirement. However, for today’s high school students, the landscape of work is shifting beneath their feet. The "job for life" concept is rapidly becoming a relic of the past, replaced by the "gig economy," remote work, and a dynamic market where adaptability is the new currency.

        One of the most significant sources of anxiety for teenagers is the pressure to choose a "perfect" career at the age of 18. This anxiety is fueled by the misconception that a choice made now is irreversible. Career counselors today emphasize that students should not focus solely on job titles, which may become obsolete in a decade due to automation. Instead, the focus should shift toward acquiring transferable skills—such as critical thinking, digital literacy, and emotional intelligence. These are the tools that will allow young people to pivot across different industries as the market evolves.

        Furthermore, the debate between following one's passion and seeking financial stability remains contentious. While the adage "do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life" sounds appealing, it can be misleading. Not every hobby translates into a viable career. Experts suggest a "career prototype" approach: trying out small versions of a job through internships, volunteering, or shadowing professionals. This allows students to test their assumptions about a career before committing years of education to it.

        Another crucial factor is the rise of interdisciplinary fields. The most exciting opportunities often lie at the intersection of different domains, such as bioinformatics (biology and computer science) or green architecture (environmental science and design). Students are encouraged to maintain a broad curiosity rather than narrowing their focus too early.

        Ultimately, the most successful individuals in the future will be "lifelong learners." The diploma received at university graduation is no longer the finish line but merely a checkpoint. The willingness to unlearn old habits and relearn new technologies will be the defining characteristic of the modern workforce.

Question 23. The word "This" in paragraph 3 refers to ____________.

        A. The misleading adage about doing what you love.

        B. The debate between passion and stability.

        C. The approach of trying out small versions of a job.

B. Paragraph 3
C. Paragraph 2
D. Paragraph 1

Question 25. According to the passage, why do many teenagers feel anxious about choosing a career?

        A. They are forced to choose careers that their parents prefer.

        B. They believe that their current choice cannot be changed later.

        C. They are afraid of the "gig economy" and remote work.

        D. They lack the necessary digital literacy skills for modern jobs.

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 following questions from 31 to 40.

AI IN LANGUAGE LEARNING

        The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into language learning has revolutionized the way individuals acquire new tongues, moving the process from dusty textbooks to dynamic, interactive screens. [I] No longer confined to the rigid schedules of traditional classrooms, learners now have access to personalized tutors in their pockets, available twenty-four seven. [II] This transformation arises from advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning, which analyze large datasets and adapt lessons to each learner’s progress. [III] However, as with any disruptive technology, the ubiquity of AI in education brings both transformative benefits and significant challenges that merit close scrutiny. [IV]

        One of the most touted advantages of AI is its ability to provide instant, non-judgmental feedback. In a traditional setting, a student might hesitate to speak for fear of making mistakes in front of peers. AI-powered apps, conversely, offer a safe space where learners can practice pronunciation and grammar repeatedly without embarrassment. Furthermore, these systems employ adaptive learning techniques; if a user struggles with the subjunctive mood in Spanish, the program notices and adds more exercises on that topic later. This level of personalization could not be achieved in a classroom with thirty students before.

        Even so, people worry about losing the “human element” in language learning. Language is more than rules; it carries culture, emotion, and nuance. Too much dependence on AI could lead to shallow fluency: knowing the rules but not being able to use language well in real life.

        Moreover, the role of the teacher is being reconfigured rather than replaced. The fear that AI will make educators obsolete is largely unfounded. Instead, the teacher's role is shifting from a deliverer of knowledge to a facilitator and mentor. Teachers can leverage AI tools to handle repetitive tasks like grading and vocabulary drilling, freeing up valuable class time for complex interactive activities, debates, and cultural immersion that machines cannot replicate.

        Data privacy is another important issue. These apps collect lots of data to improve their programs. This raises questions about how this data is stored, who owns it, and whether it could be sold in ways that harm privacy.

        In conclusion, while AI serves as a powerful supplementary tool that makes language learning more accessible and efficient, it should not replace human interaction. The future of learning will likely mix technology with human guidance. Machines handle the mechanics, while people help with connection and culture.

Question 31. Which of the following best serves as the title for the passage?

        A. The End of Traditional Language Classrooms.

        B. How AI Algorithms Work in Education.

        C. Why Human Teachers are Better than Machines.

        D. AI in Language Learning: A Double-Edged Sword.

Question 32. Which of the following best summarizes the reading passage?

A. AI has transformed language learning by providing 24/7 personalized, data-driven tutoring, and raises little concerns about human connection.

B. AI focuses solely on grammar and ignores cultural context but it is likely to replace teachers in language learning.

C. AI makes language learning more personalized and accessible, but human guidance remains essential for culture, nuance, and privacy.

D. AI's only benefit is faster feedback, with no significant drawbacks or considerations for culture and privacy.

Question 33. According to paragraph 2, why is AI considered a "safe space" for learners?

        A. It connects them with other learners who are at the same level.

        B. It protects their personal data securely.

        C. It prevents them from making any grammatical errors.

        D. It allows them to practice without fear of judgment from others.

Question 34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

        A. AI tools can help save time for teachers by handling repetitive tasks.

        B. The author believes AI will eventually replace human interaction entirely.

        C. Teachers should stop teaching grammar and focus only on culture.

Question 37. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

A. Teachers should take care of more engaging activities while repetitive tasks are for AI tools.

B. AI tools can do both the repetitive tasks and complex interactive activities without the help of teachers.

C. Teachers should upgrade AI tools so that they can devote to harder, more engaging activities.

D. Teachers can use AI tools to do repetitive, mechanical tasks so that they can devote to harder, more engaging activities.

A. [IV]
B. [III]
