Read the following passage about online dating 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 23 to 30.
Psychologists have found many advantages and disadvantages to online dating. Among the
many criticisms aimed at online dating, the most severe concern is its effects on people's self-esteem
and mental health.
Swipe left or right is the main feature of popular dating apps, where users quickly look
at profiles. However, this system is criticized for being superficial. A study showed that users often feel
less satisfied with their appearance. Jessica Strübel found that after a while, users begin to feel less like
unique, special individuals and more like they're disposable. This feeling leads to users becoming
increasingly sensitive about their looks and bodies, heightening self-consciousness. Dating apps also
added to the idea that there's always something better around the corner, which further
pressures users into trying to appear more attractive.
Dating apps not only harm self-esteem but also alter perceptions of relationships.
By accelerating the dating process, these apps encourage poor social behavior. For instance, it's not
unusual for people to ignore "likes" and messages or to lose interest and cut off communication. This
behavior would have been considered extremely rude in the past. But with online dating, it is a
common reality.
Furthermore, thirty-five percent of users actually reported feeling pessimistic about dating. Only
twenty-eight percent of surveyed users reported feeling hopeful after using a dating site or app.
Question 23. According to paragraph 2, all of the following are problems with dating apps EXCEPT
_____.
A. they damage people’s self-esteem
B. they are inefficient
C. they are superficial
D. they make users feel disposable
Question 24. The word profiles in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to _____.
A. invitation B. outline C. survey D. description
Question 25. The word it in paragraph 3 refers to _____.
A. dating B. behavior C. the past D. communication
Question 26. The word accelerating in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by _____.
A. hindering B. quickening C. delaying D. slowing down
Question 27. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
A. Users often find more attractive partners on dating apps.
B. Users are not interested in one another's looks.
C. Users appear more attractive on dating apps than in real life.
D. Dating apps pressure users to look attractive.
Question 28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Dating apps not only negatively impact self-esteem but also change how people view relationships.
B. Thirty-five percent of users reported feeling hopeful about dating.
C. A study revealed that users frequently feel more content with their appearance.
D. Psychologists have identified only negative aspects of online dating.
Question 29. In which paragraph does the writer mention the greatest concern regarding online dating?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
Question 30. In which paragraph does the writer mention a behavior that was once considered rude but
is now typical in online dating?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
Read the following passage about smart energy 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 31 to 40. ⇱
SMART ENERGY
The upcoming decades will bring significant changes in energy supply and consumption. As
some major oil-producing countries have already reached 'peak oil' and concerns about global warming
rise, many nations are prioritizing the transition to a low-carbon economy, which will transform
electricity supply and usage. [I] Firstly, there will be an increase in overall demand, as consumers
switch from oil and gas to electricity to power their homes and vehicles. [II] Secondly, there will be an
increase in power generation, not only in terms of how much is generated, but also how it is generated,
as there is growing electricity generation from renewable sources. [III] To meet these challenges,
countries are investing in Smart Grid technology. [IV] This system aims to provide the electricity
industry with a better understanding of power generation and demand, and to use this information to
create a more efficient power network.
Smart meters can be integrated with the internet or telephone networks. This connectivity
enables customers to control their appliances from a distance. For instance, individuals can turn devices
on or off remotely, providing added convenience. Overall, the system offers significant benefits in
managing energy usage. By analyzing real-time data, it allows for better decision-making. This
technology not only improves efficiency but also supports cost savings. Ultimately, the integration of
smart technology will enhance user experience and system management.
The coming decades will bring significant shifts in energy supply and usage. A problem is the
fact that many renewable power generation sources are located in remote areas, such as windy uplands
and coastal regions, where there is currently a lack of electrical infrastructure. New infrastructures
therefore must be built. Thankfully, with improved smart technology, this can be done more efficiently
by reducing the reinforcement or construction costs.
Although Smart Technology is still in its infancy, pilot schemes to promote and test it are
already underway. Consumers are currently testing the new smart meters which can be used in their
homes to manage electricity use. There are also a number of demonstrations being planned to show
how the smart technology could practically work, and trials are in place to test the new electrical
infrastructure. It is here where Smart Technology is likely to be promoted first, utilising a range of
sustainable power sources, transport solutions and an infrastructure for charging electrically powered
vehicles. The infrastructure is already changing fast.
Question 31. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
There is also likely more electricity generation centres, as households and communities take up
the opportunity to install photovoltaic cells and small scale wind turbines.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 32. The word remote in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by _____.
A. attractive B. isolated C. crowded D. alone
Question 33. The word underway in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _____.
A. complete B. in progress C. beneficial D. permanent
Question 34. The word this in paragraph 2 refers to _____.
A. building new infrastructure B. renewable power generation
C. shifts in energy supply and usage D. reducing the reinforcement
Question 35. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of Smart Grid technology to consumers?
A. It can reduce their electricity bills.
B. It can reduce the amount of energy needed to power appliances.
C. It can allow them to turn appliances on and off when they are not at home.
D. It can tell them how much energy each appliance is using.
Question 36. Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 4?
A. Upcoming decades will see major shifts in energy supply and consumption.
B. Energy transitions require new infrastructure, aided by efficient smart technology.
C. Smart technology trials and demonstrations are currently underway for consumers.
D. New system reduces costs, improves energy management, and enhances convenience.
Question 37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Renewable power generation sources are found in urban areas.
B. Some major oil-producing countries have yet to reach 'peak oil' as concerns about global warming
increase.
C. Despite being in its early stages, pilot schemes for Smart Technology are already in progress.
D. The new computer system will not significantly reduce operational and maintenance costs.
Question 38. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
A. Individuals can remotely turn devices on or off, enhancing convenience.
B. By integrating with the internet or telephone networks, smart meters enable customers to control
appliances remotely.
C. Smart meters can connect to the internet or telephone networks.
D. Smart meters provide significant benefits for managing energy usage.
Question 39. Which of the following can be inferred about cities in the future?
A. Smart Grid technology will only be available in cities.
B. All buildings will generate their own electricity.
C. People in cities will be using cars and buses powered by electricity.
D. More people will be living in cities in the future than nowadays.
Question 40. What is the main idea of the final paragraph?
