Read the following passage about endangered languages 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 1 to 8.
Access to quality education is often seen as a fundamental right, but for millions of children in impoverished
areas, this remains a distant dream. In many developing nations, poor children face numerous obstacles in obtaining an
education, from financial constraints to a lack of proper infrastructure and resources. The challenges are stark—many
children are forced to skip school to work, while others are kept out of classrooms because of the high costs of tuition
and basic supplies.
This growing inequality in education perpetuates the cycle of poverty. Without education, these children are
left with few opportunities to improve their circumstances, trapping them and their families in a state of hardship.
However, there is hope. Education holds the key to breaking this cycle. By equipping children with the skills and
knowledge needed for the modern workforce, it opens doors to better job opportunities and higher wages, ultimately
leading to improved living standards.
Additionally, education has a far-reaching impact that goes beyond economic benefits. Educated children are
more likely to understand the importance of good health, nutrition, and overall well-being. They are empowered to
make informed decisions, contribute to their communities, and advocate for their rights. However, for many, the
path to education is blocked by financial limitations, inadequate schools, and social barriers.
The solution lies in both governmental and community efforts to make education more accessible.
Governments must prioritize education in their budgets, offering subsidies, free schooling, and scholarships to remove
the financial burden from families. In addition, international organizations must continue to support programs that
build infrastructure and train teachers in underserved regions.
Providing poor children with access to education remains a challenge, but it represents an undeniable
investment in both their future and the creation of a fairer, more prosperous society.

Read the following passage about endangered languages 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 15 to 24.
The systematic collection, storage, and interpretation of large-scale data has been a fundamental part of human
development for centuries. As early as 1790, the U.S. Census Bureau began recording demographic data using punch
cards. A significant leap occurred approximately a century later with the invention of the Tabulating Machine, which
enabled the rapid processing of punch card data, far surpassing human capabilities in speed and efficiency.
[I] By the 1940s, the rapid growth in data volume—often referred to as the information explosion—
highlighted the urgent necessity for more scalable and sophisticated data management systems. [II] In response, IBM
Research Labs published a seminal paper in 1970 on relational database theory. [III] This innovation introduced a
structured way to organize, retrieve, and manipulate data, comparable to how spreadsheet software like Microsoft
Excel functions today. [IV]
The commercialization of the internet in the mid-1990s marked another transformative era. Initially, web
content was static and served primarily for one-way information dissemination. However, with the advent of Web 2.0
in 2004, the internet evolved into a dynamic, user-centered platform. Individuals were no longer passive recipients
of information but active content creators, shaping digital communities and generating vast quantities of user
data.
The proliferation of social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter in the early 2000s further
accelerated data production. Simultaneously, the emergence of video-streaming services like YouTube and Netflix
revolutionized media consumption, while also gathering real-time insights into user preferences, behaviors, and trends
—laying the groundwork for data-driven personalization and recommendation systems.
The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) in 2014 marked another major shift, as billions of connected
devices prompted organizations to invest more heavily in big data technologies to optimize operations and create more
tailored products and services. Today, big data is central to innovation and decision-making across sectors—from
optimizing smart city systems to powering AI and machine learning models. Its evolution from basic record-keeping
to real-time analytics reflects its growing role in shaping modern life.
Question 15. Where in paragraph 2 does the following sentence best fit?
This overwhelming surge in information made traditional methods of data handling increasingly inadequate.
A. [II] B. [IV] C. [III] D. [I]
Question 16. The word This innovation in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. IBM’s theory B. Data visualization tools C. Spreadsheet software D. The internet
Question 17. The word static in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.
A. temporary B. accurate C. changing D. limited
Question 18. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
A. People began spending more time online browsing static web pages, as the internet continued to serve as a one-
way source of information with limited interaction.
B. As internet platforms became more advanced, they restricted user participation, limiting the ability to share
ideas and reducing the amount of data being created.
C. Internet users were able to participate actively by creating and sharing content, which contributed to the
formation of online communities and the growth of data.
D. With the growth of online platforms, individuals found it increasingly difficult to manage the overload of
information, leading them to avoid contributing content themselves.
Question 19. The phrase proliferation in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. concentration B. elimination C. regulation D. expansion
Question 20. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Early web content was static and used mainly for one-way communication.
B. The commercialization of the internet led to the decline of spreadsheet software.
C. Web 2.0 allowed users to interact with and contribute to content online.
D. IBM contributed to the development of relational database theory by publishing a key paper in 1970.
Question 21. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Data collection has only recently become important to society.

 B. Web 1.0 provided rich interaction for users.
C. The increase in data has driven innovation across industries.
D. The internet was invented in the 1970s alongside relational databases.
Question 22. Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 4?
A. Platforms like Facebook reduced user interaction and slowed down online communication.
B. social media and streaming changed media use and enabled data-driven personalization.
C. Companies now ignore user content and focus on fully controlled digital media formats.
D. Streaming services ended TV and led to less data shared by a number of users online.
Question 23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Web 2.0 limited user interaction to predefined content formats and passive browsing.
B. The primary function of the Tabulating Machine was to store demographic data more securely.
C. Today, big data supports innovation and real-time decision-making across various sectors.
D. Relational database theory replaced all earlier data storage methods immediately after 1970.
Question 24. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A. The increasing popularity of internet-based platforms like social media and video services has changed how
people consume content, but data collection remains limited to commercial use.
B. As technological demands grew over time, various sectors adopted big data tools to improve communication,
though the transition from manual to digital systems remained slow.
C. The historical evolution of data management—from early manual systems to modern big data and AI—
demonstrates its central role in innovation and its wide-ranging impact on society.

potential in entertainment and social networking.
