Mount Rushmore is in the Black Hills of South Dakota, 23 miles of Rapid City. The
mountain obtained the name from a lawyer. It features the countenance of four American
presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore
Roosevelt. They were chosen because of the reputation they had established.
Mount Rushmore was the project of sculptor Gutzen Borglum who carved the faces of
the president. Borglum selected the mountain because of the height, the exposure to the sun,
and the granite softness. The federal government granted him to make a sculpture on Mount
Rushmore. The sixty-year old man, Borglum started the project with a lot of obstacles. He

Text 2 (Questions 101-110)

A pioneering work by Donald Appleyard made the astounding discovery that a sudden
increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects people in the way that a sudden
increase in crime does. Appleyard observed this by finding three blocks of houses in San
Francisco that looked much alike and had the same kind of middle-class and working-class
residents, with approximately the same ethnic mix. The difference was that only 2,000 cars a
day ran down Octavia Street (LIGHT street, in Appleyard’s terminology) while Gough Street
(MEDIUM street) was used by 8,000 cars daily, and Franklin Street (HEAVY street) had
around 16,000 cars a day. Franklin street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia Street
had in a day.
Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes, and soot, directly, and trash
secondarily. That is, the cars did not bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated,
residents seldom picked it up. The cars, Appleyard determined, reduced the amount of
territory residents felt responsible for. Noise was constant intrusion into their homes. Many
Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the
rear of their houses. Most families with children had already left.
Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash. They sat
on their front steps and chatted with neighbours. They had three times as many friends and
twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin. While on Gough Street, residents said
that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased. People were
becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives. A number of families had
recently moved, and more were considering it. Those who were staying expressed deep regret
at the destruction of their community.

Text 3 (Questions 111-120)

The phenomenon of educated unemployment has been on the rise globally, and
several factors contribute to this troubling trend. One significant reason is the mismatch
between the education system and the labor market. Many educational institutions continue to
offer traditional courses that do not align with the evolving needs of the job market. As a
result, graduates often find themselves with skills that are either outdated or irrelevant to
current industry demands. This disconnect leaves many educated individuals struggling to
find employment in their field of study.

Another contributing factor is the rapid advancement of technology, which has

significantly altered the employment landscape. Automation and artificial intelligence have
replaced numerous jobs that once required human intervention, particularly in sectors like
manufacturing, data entry, and even some areas of finance and customer service. They
caused the demand for certain job roles to diminish, while the need for highly specialized
skills has increased. Unfortunately, not all graduates have had the opportunity to acquire
these specialized skills, leading to a surplus of educated individuals who are unable to secure
suitable employment.

Lastly, economic factors and structural issues within the job market also play a crucial
role. Economic slowdowns and recessions can lead to hiring freezes and job cuts,
disproportionately affecting new graduates who are trying to enter the workforce.
Additionally, issues such as nepotism, lack of professional networks, and limited job creation
in certain regions exacerbate the problem. This situation is further complicated by the high
expectations of educated individuals, who may be unwilling to accept jobs they perceive as
below their qualification level. Together, these factors contribute to the increasing number of
educated unemployed, highlighting the need for reforms in both the education system and the
job market to better prepare graduates for the future.

111. What is the most suitable title for the passage?

A. The Evolution of the Global Job Market
B. The Impact of Technology on Employment
C. Factors Contributing to Educated Unemployment
D. The Role of Higher Education in Career Development

112. The passage above mainly discusses___.

 A. The reasons behind the growing numbers of educated people who have no job
B. The condition of global economy which causes massive job cuts
C. The inability of education system to keep up with the advancement of technology
D. The graduates who failed to adapt with the demand of industry

113. According to the passage, what is one reason for the mismatch between the education
system and the labor market?
A. The students lost their interest in traditional courses
B. Many educational institutions cannot keep up with the evolving needs of the job
market
C. Many students cannot afford the increasing cost of higher education
D. The growing number of online courses that increase educational cost.

114. According to the passage, which sectors have been particularly affected by automation
and artificial intelligence?
A. Healthcare and education
B. Manufacturing, data entry, and some areas of finance and customer service
C. Agriculture and tourism
D. Legal and entertainment industries

115. Based on the passage, what is one likely reason that graduates might struggle with
obtaining employment in their field of study?
A. They lack interest in their field.
B. They are unwilling to work in entry-level positions.

Text 4 (Questions 121-130)

Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for
reducing the effects of extreme heat. One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect
rather than absorb the Sun’s rays. Desert mammals also depart from the normal
mammalian practice of maintaining a constant body temperature. Instead of trying to keep
down the body temperature deep inside the body, which would involve the expenditure of
water and energy, desert mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what would
normally be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been
measured in Grant’s gazelles. The overheated body then cools down during the cold desert
night, and indeed the temperature may fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees
Celsius in the camel. This is an advantage since the heat of the first few hours of daylight
is absorbed in warming up the body, and an excessive buildup of heat does not begin until
well into the day.
Another strategy of large desert animals is to tolerate the loss of body water to a
point that would be fatal for non-adapted animals. The camel can lose up to 30 percent of
its body weight as water without harm to itself, whereas human beings die after losing
only 12 to 13 percent of their body weight. An equally important adaptation is the ability
to replenish this water loss at one drink. Desert animals can drink prodigious volumes in a
short time, and camels have been known to imbibe over 1000 liters in a few minutes. A
very dehydrated person, on the other hand, cannot drink enough water to rehydrate at one
session, because the human stomach is not sufficiently big and because a too rapid dilution
of the body fluids causes death from water intoxication. The tolerance of water loss is of
obvious advantage in the desert, as animals do not have to remain near a water hole but
can obtain food from gazing sparse and far-flung pastures. Desert-adapted mammals have
the further ability to feed normally when extremely dehydrated, it is a common experience
in people that appetite is lost even under conditions of moderate thirst.

121. What is the main topic of the passage?

A. A Weather variations in the desert
B. Adaptations of desert animals
C. Diseased of desert animals
D. Human use of desert animals

122. According to the passage, why is light colouring an advantage to large desert
animals?
A. It helps them hide from predators.
B. It does not absorb sunlight as much as dark colors.
C. it helps them see their young at night.
 D. It keeps them cool at night.

123. The author mentions that water intoxication is ____.

A. Drinking too much water very quickly.
B. Drinking polluted water.
C. Bacteria in water.
D. Lack of water.

124. What does the author imply about desert-adapted mammals?

A. They do not need to eat much food.
B. They can eat large quantities quickly.
C. They easily lose their appetites.
D. They can travel long distances looking for food.
125. It can be inferred from the passage that human beings ___.
A. cannot survive when losing a little amount of their body weight
B. are the same as the camel in adapting the body weight
C. can drink 1000 liters in a few minutes

Text 5 (Questions 131 – 140)

Swans are among the most beautiful of North American waterfowl and have always
enjoyed the admiration and even the protection of bird lovers. Of the six species in the swan
genus, only two are native to North America. The trumpeter swan, the largest of the groups,
breeds in the northern United States and Alaska and was nearly wiped out during the
nineteenth century craze for elaborately feathered hats. The whistling swan, which winters in
large flocks on the Chesapeake Bay, has recently renamed the tundra swan because it breeds
and summers on the northernmost tundra regions of the continent.
Recently, populations of mute swans–an exotic species introduced to North America
from Europe in the early 1900s–have begun increasing by an alarming 30 to 40 percent
annually in some states. Most wildlife biologists today believe the majestic white creatures,
with their tendency to destroy a pond’s plant life and drive away native waterfowl, might
create havoc on the scale of the gypsy moth, starling, or English sparrow.
Both native species of swans are wild and require large areas of uninhabited summer
ground for nesting and feeding. Mutes, however, semi–domesticated and accustomed to
people, can nest in pairs of as many as three or four on one small coastal pond, which can
burden delicate and environmentally essential brackish ponds.

A. came to Europe in 1900s
B. could not survive in Europe
