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 17 to 26.    

The Impact of Internet Slang on Modern English

        The formal acceptance of internet slang shows a fundamental change in how the English language grows today. Some people may think that terms like "skibidi," "delulu," or "tradwife" are just short-term digital trends. However, their recent inclusion in the Cambridge Dictionary serves as a strong answer to those critics. This decision confirms the lasting influence of the TikTok generation, showing that these expressions are no longer just on the edges of our daily talk but have become central to modern communication.

        [I] This phenomenon is not just about a collection of harmless slang words. Instead, it reflects a deeper "post-truth" world where personal beliefs often become more important than facts. [II] For example, the term "delulu," once a small insult, now shows a social shift where people choose their own reality. [III] At the same time, the "tradwife" movement uses beautiful, glossy social media photos to make traditional housework look like a perfect dream. [IV]

        Supporting this change is the "broligarchy"- a powerful group of tech leaders whose platforms control how these terms spread.  From using "mouse jigglers" to pretend to be working to the use of "skibidi" as a word that often has no real meaning, these terms reflect the complex social lives of our tech-focused era.

        Why does this "internet talk" matter so much? It works like a "soothing lullaby" where chaotic media makes the public feel comfortable but also disconnected from real life. Experts argue that the younger generation is very good at using ironic humor but struggles to find real meaning in things. If these simple phrases continue to replace serious thought, we might lose our ability to use language as a tool for clarity. It is essential to see the hollow nature of these attractive digital trends to protect our intellectual depth in an age where computer algorithms have so much influence over what we think and say.

Question 17. According to paragraph 1, what does the inclusion of internet slang in the Cambridge Dictionary prove?

A. It suggests that the TikTok generation does not care about language.

Question 25. What can be inferred from the passage?

B. Young people use "skibidi" to make sure older people cannot understand them.

C. Dictionaries only accept new words after they are used by famous leaders.

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 27 to 34

        For decades, the "body clock" was seen as a minor part of medical science, often dismissed as just the cause of jet lag. However, recent studies in chronobiology have revealed a more important reality: nearly every cell in our bodies follows a strict 24-hour cycle. This circadian system, managed by a "master clock" in the brain, not only regulates sleep; it also controls metabolism, hormone levels, and immune responses. In our modern world, this natural rhythm faces threats from artificial lighting and irregular lifestyle habits.

        The consequences of circadian misalignment—the gap between our internal biological time and external social schedules—are serious. The chronic disruption of circadian cycles, common among shift workers and those using screens late at night, has been linked to a multitude of health issues, including Type 2 diabetes and obesity. Eating or exercising out of sync with metabolic peaks reduces nutrient efficiency. This shows that timing—not just diet—shapes long-term health.

        Furthermore, there is a bidirectional relationship between circadian health and mental well-being. Disruptions in sleep cycles are often signs of coming depressive episodes, while stabilizing these rhythms can make psychiatric treatments more effective. Even the brain’s cleaning system, which flushes out waste, works mainly during deep sleep to remove toxic proteins linked to brain diseases. Ignoring our internal timing not only causes fatigue but also gradually harms neurological health.

        Solving this crisis requires a change in how we design our cities and daily lives. Experts suggest using "circadian-friendly" lighting in offices and schools to mimic natural sunlight, supporting alertness during the day while reducing sleep interference at night. Individually, learning how to align habits with biological peaks is becoming a vital life skill. A healthy society should learn to honor the ancient rhythms hardwired into our DNA.

Question 27. The word "revealed" in paragraph 1 mostly means ____________.

A. ignored
B. discovered
C. confirmed
D. questioned

Question 28. The word “disruption” in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ____________.

A. disorder
B. interruption
C. continuity
D. instability

Question 29. Which of the following best paraphrases the sentence in paragraph 2?

"Eating or exercising out of sync with metabolic peaks reduces nutrient efficiency."

A. Nutrient use is less efficient when meals or exercise reach metabolic peaks.

B. Low nutrient efficiency results from eating or exercising aligned with your natural clock.

C. Eating or exercising at off-peak metabolic times promotes nutrient effectiveness.

D. Eating or exercising at the wrong metabolic times lowers nutrient absorption.

Question 30. What does the phrase “these rhythms” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. sleep cycles
B. depressive episodes
C. psychiatric treatments
D. disruptions

Question 31. What can be inferred about the "brain’s cleaning system" mentioned in paragraph 3?

A. It operates at maximum efficiency during periods of intense physical activity.

B. Its malfunction may contribute to the development of neurological disorders.

C. It is primarily responsible for triggering depressive episodes in shift workers.

D. It requires a consistent social schedule to maintain long-term neurological health.
