Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct 
answer to each of the questions.
 The world is fast growing, with Artificial intelligence (AI) at the forefront in changing the world and 
the way we live. An important question: What is AI? For many people, it remains unclear what this technology 
is all about, so this is a good place to start the conversation. AI is a branch of computer science that deals with 
the intelligent behavior of machines. It is an ingeniously stimulated ability of a machine to imitate human 
behavior and our conventional response patterns. This means that with AI, many of our everyday activities can 
now be carried out effectively by programmed machine technology.
 The use of AI in organizations, governments, security frameworks, energy and natural resource 
management, etc., is drastically on the rise. This leads us to acknowledging the center of focus for AI 
developers. Most AI developers are now ultimately directed towards achieving a basic goal. They are charged 
with the responsibility of building AI models that would aptly substitute direct human efforts. This need comes 
in recognition of the inadequacies of human labor efforts, which are characterized by inaccuracy, inefficiency, 
and other failures. For example, artificial intelligence has been pointed to possess the potential for more 
accurate medical practices. Thus, you can be sure of a more accurate surgical procedure using this framework 
than is currently available by most humans. Hence, we can say that the opposites of the inadequacies of human 
efforts are precisely the benefits of artificial intelligence to our world.
 Using AI, more people would be able to step down from having to carry out so many tasks by 
themselves. With the personal assistance of AI, we will be able to remove the more mundane tasks from our 
lives. For instance, there may be no need to go to the grocery store, meet with an appointment, or make that 
deadline yourself as your AI assistant knows just what to do, and when to do it. However, the AI would only 
function according to its developed programming. Hence, one AI may be programmed to work on multiple 
assignments, while another may be far narrower in scope of application.

 The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City. For a long time, it has been a 
newspaper of record in the United States and one of the world’s great newspapers. Its strength is in its editorial 
excellence; it has never been the largest newspaper in terms of circulation.
 The Times was established in 1851 as a penny paper whose editors wanted to report the news in a 
restrained and objective fashion. It enjoyed early success as its editors set a pattern for the future by appealing 
to a cultured, intellectual readership instead of a mass audience. However, in the late nineteenth century, it 
came into competition with more popular, colorful, if not lurid, newspapers in New York City. Their publishers 
ran sensational stories, not because they were true, but because they sold newspapers. Despite price increases, 
the time was losing £1,000 a week when Adolph Simon Ochs bought it in 1896.
 Ochs built the Times into an internationally respected daily. He hired Carr Van Anda as editor. Van 
Anda placed greater stress than ever on full reporting of the news of the day, and his reporters maintained and 
emphasized existing good coverage of international news. The management of the paper decided to eliminate 
fiction from the paper, added a Sunday magazine section, and reduced the paper’s price back to a penny. In 
April 1912, the paper took many risks to report every aspect of the sinking of the Titanic. This greatly enhanced 
its prestige, and in its coverage of two world wars, the Times continued to enhance its reputation for excellence 
in world news.
 In 1971, the Times was given a copy of the so-called “Pentagon Papers,” a secret government study of
U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. When it published the report, it became involved in several lawsuits. 
The U.S. Supreme Court found that the publication was protected by the freedom-of-the-press clause in the 
First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Later in the 1970s, the paper, under Adolph Ochs’s grandson, 
Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, introduced sweeping changes in the organization of the newspaper and its staff and 
brought out a national edition transmitted by satellite to regional printing plants.
Question 63: What is the main idea of the passage?

 A. put in prison B. in handcuffs C. without education D. with self-control

 Recently, there has been a lot of controversy surrounding Ngoc Trinh's video where she rode a 
motorcycle with both legs up on the seat, sitting at the back, letting go of one hand or even both hands, and 
standing upright while the motorbike sped forward. This has sparked a strong backlash from the online 
community. The majority of people criticized Ngoc Trinh for intentionally engaging in dangerous actions 
that risked her own life in order to gain more views. Moreover, as a public figure with nearly 7 million 
channel followers, this behavior of Ngoc Trinh is likely to have a negative impact on the younger 
generation.

Today we're gonna look at the life and some of the works of one of America's finest modern female poets, Sylvia 
Plath.
 At the time of her death in 1963 Sylvia Plath was on the verge of the critical success and recognition 
that she had sought for most of her life. (1) Her first novel “The Bell Jar” had just been published and the 
publication of her collection of poems “Ariel” had just been agreed.
 These poems, which were mostly written during the last year of her life, chronicle the traumatic 
developments taking place in her personal life and were to make for her a reputation as a first-rate poet. (2) But 
it wasn't until 1982, almost twenty years after her death, that her posthumously published “Collected Poems” 
won the Pulitzer Prize for literature. Since this time the fascination and intrigue with her work has continued to 
grow. Very few modern poets have captured the popular imagination as much as Plath, even to the extent that in 
2003 a movie was made about her life and (3) her intense relationship with her husband and fellow poet Ted 
Huges.
 To understand (4) the continued growth in interest in her work, we have to look at the issues which her 
life and work address. As Susan Bassnett writes in her book on women writers.
 “Dying as she did in 1963, Sylvia Plath never knew that so soon afterward the problems of what and 
how women write was to become such a crucial matter and was to be debated by so many other women.”
So, Sylvia Plath was a woman writing about women's issues before they were recognized as being of 
any importance.
 Sylvia Plath was born at Robinson Memorial Hospital in Boston on 27th October 1932. She was the 
first- born child of Otto and Aurelia Plath, both highly educated academic people. Her father Otto was a 
professor of biology at Boston University, but her mother had been subjugated into a domestic role as a 
housewife despite her level of education. (5) Her father was not too pleased with the birth of his daughter and 
demanded that his wife have a son within the next two years. Amazingly enough, his wife obliged by giving 
birth to a son almost exactly two years later.
 This domineering father figure became a common theme that recurred throughout Plath's writing. With 
the birth of her brother, Sylvia had to work much harder to win her father's attention and approval. When in 
1936 Plath's father became ill, access to him became even more restricted, and Plath's main means of getting 
attention from her father was by achieving academic success. This meant that from an early age, she began to 
equate love with success.
