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 from 31 to 35.
A new report says the number of young people without a job is still very high in many countries. There
are currently 73 million people around the world aged 15-24 who want to work but cannot find a job. The
International Labour Organization (ILO) said that although youth unemployment is coming down in rich
countries, it is rising in most of Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Brazil. The youth unemployment
rate in China increased from 9.3 per cent in 2010 to 10.6 per cent last year. Economists say it will be 11.1
per cent in 2016. In Brazil, the figure for youth unemployment was 14 per cent at the beginning of this
year, but is now almost 16 per cent. The ILO warns that youth unemployment worldwide is set to rise.
The ILO said it is difficult for many young people who are looking for work. It said: "It's still not easy to
be young and starting out in today's labour market." It is particularly bad for many young women. The
highest rate of youth unemployment around the world is for women in the Middle East and North Africa.
This figure is around 45 per cent. There are many reasons for the gloomy figures for youth unemployment.
One major factor is the global financial collapse of 2008. Many countries have still not recovered from
that. The ILO says youth unemployment is not just important for a country's economy. It also affects
health, social unrest and levels of people's happiness.
(Adapted from https://breakingnewsenglish.com/)

A. The importance of employment B. Unemployment among young people
C. The global financial crisis D. A decline in unemployment rate

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 from 36 to 42.
If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top
of the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection
and creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform
better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal
information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?
British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of
the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will
be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain signals.
Then they will adapt the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots
will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world,
there aren’t enough teachers and 9–16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That
problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t get stressed, or
tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job.
Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all over the world are
leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not ‘Will robots
replace teachers?’ but ‘How can robots help teachers?’ Office workers can use software to do things like
organise and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing
non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time
teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the
parts of the job humans do best.

A. Building a Robotic Man B. Robots Replace Teachers!
C. Robot Teachers D. Meet a Robotic Teacher!
Question 37. The word ‘underestimating’ in paragraph 1 mostly means _______.
A. thinking something is less than it is B. finding a feasible solution
