Passage 1: The Illusion of Productivity
In contemporary workplaces, the concept of productivity has undergone a subtle yet profound transformation, one that is often difficult to detect precisely because it is so deeply embedded in everyday routines.

Passage 2: The Ethics of Technological Dependence
As artificial intelligence systems become increasingly integrated into daily life, questions surrounding their ethical implications have grown more urgent. One of the central issues lies in the opacity of these systems, which are often designed in ways that make their decision-making processes difficult to interpret. As a result, individuals may (21) ______ the authority of algorithms, assuming that computational outputs are inherently objective. However, such assumptions can be misleading, as algorithms are ultimately shaped by human inputs, including biases that may not be immediately apparent.
Furthermore, as reliance on automation increases, there is a risk that critical thinking skills may gradually (22) ______. When individuals defer too readily to technological systems, they may become less inclined to question outcomes or consider alternative perspectives.
At the institutional level, organizations must also grapple with the challenge of assigning responsibility when algorithmic systems fail. If accountability is not clearly defined, it may become (23) ______ to determine who should be held liable for errors or unintended harm. This ambiguity can, in turn, (24) ______ public trust, especially if affected individuals perceive that there is no mechanism for redress.
Ultimately, while technological advancement is inevitable, it is essential to adopt a more critical and reflective approach, one that seeks not only to (25) ______ innovation but also to ensure that it aligns with broader ethical principles.

Passage 1
In recent years, the integration of technology into language classrooms has transformed the way English is taught and learned. Digital tools such as online platforms, mobile applications, and virtual classrooms provide learners with opportunities to access authentic materials and interact with speakers from around the world. These developments have made language learning more flexible and accessible than ever before.
However, the effectiveness of technology in language education depends largely on how it is used. Simply introducing digital tools into the classroom does not guarantee improved learning outcomes. Teachers must carefully design activities that align with learning objectives and encourage meaningful interaction. For example, using discussion forums or video conferencing tools can promote communication, but only if tasks are structured in a way that requires students to actively participate.
Another important consideration is the digital divide. Not all students have equal access to technology, which may create disparities in learning opportunities. Teachers must be aware of these challenges and provide alternative solutions to ensure that all students can benefit from technological advancements.
Ultimately, technology should be viewed as a tool rather than a solution. Its value lies in its ability to support effective teaching practices and enhance student engagement.

26. What can be inferred about the use of technology in language classrooms?
(A) It guarantees better learning outcomes.
(B) It requires careful planning to be effective.
(C) It replaces traditional teaching methods entirely.
(D) It is unnecessary in modern education.
27. The word "accessible" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to:
(A) circumscribed
(B) fathomable
(C) abstruse
(D) convoluted
28. Why does the author mention discussion forums and video conferencing tools?
(A) To criticize their overuse in classrooms
(B) To illustrate examples of technology that can support interaction
(C) To compare them with traditional teaching methods
(D) To show their disadvantages
29. What can be inferred about the "digital divide"?
(A) It limits equal access and may require pedagogical adjustments.
(B) It is mainly caused by students' lack of motivation.
(C) It only affects developing countries.
(D) It can be completely solved by technology.
30. What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage?
(A) To argue that technology should replace teachers
(B) To explain how technology can be effectively integrated into teaching
(C) To discourage the use of digital tools
(D) To describe the history of language education
Passage 2
Assessment plays a crucial role in language education, as it provides information about students' learning progress and helps teachers adjust their instruction. Traditionally, assessment has focused on summative tests, such as midterms and final exams. However, there has been a growing emphasis on formative assessment, which involves ongoing evaluation during the learning process.
Formative assessment allows teachers to identify students' strengths and weaknesses in real time. Techniques such as peer feedback, self-assessment, and classroom observation can provide valuable insights into student learning. Moreover, formative assessment encourages students to reflect on their own performance and take an active role in their learning.
Despite its benefits, formative assessment requires careful planning and implementation. Teachers must provide clear criteria and constructive feedback to ensure that students understand how to improve. In addition, balancing formative and summative assessment can be challenging, especially in exam-oriented educational systems.
In conclusion, effective assessment should combine both formative and summative approaches. By doing so, teachers can support student learning while also meeting institutional requirements.

31. What can be inferred about formative assessment?
(A) It is less useful than summative assessment.
(B) It focuses only on final results.
(C) It supports ongoing learning and improvement.
(D) It replaces all traditional testing methods.
32. The word "crucial" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to:
(A) peripheral
(B) pivotal
(C) redundant
(D) extraneous
33. Why does the author mention peer feedback and self-assessment?
(A) To criticize students' performance
(B) To provide examples of formative assessment methods
(C) To compare different grading systems
(D) To explain test formats
34. What can be inferred about challenges in formative assessment?
(A) It requires no preparation.
(B) It is easy to apply in all contexts.
(C) It may be difficult to implement in exam-oriented systems.
(D) It reduces student participation.
35. What is the rhetorical purpose of the final paragraph?
(A) To summarize and advocate a balanced approach to assessment
(B) To introduce a contrasting viewpoint
(C) To question the validity of formative assessment
(D) To provide empirical evidence
