the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 26 to 30.

Many people would feel a little bit worried about travelling in an autonomous, or self-driving
car. However, this kind of transport is already a reality. The idea behind self-driving cars is fairly
simple: build a car with cameras and radars that can (26) __________ the vehicle’s surroundings in
360 degrees, perfectly distinguishing road markings, traffic signs, vehicles, people, and all other
elements in the environment. The in-car computers then use this information to predict how other
objects will move, and determines its own route. There are plenty of advantages to self-driving
cars. Imagine getting into your car, typing or saying a(n) (27) __________ into your vehicle’s
interface, then letting it (28) __________ you to your destination while you read a book, surf the
web, or nap. Moreover, self-driving vehicles (29) __________ to be safer. “These cars won’t get
drunk or high, drive too fast, or take unnecessary risks – things people do all the time”, said Robin
Chase – the founder of Buzzcar. Unfortunately, at the moment, fully self-driving vehicles are not
readily available. Although some automakers and technology companies are getting closer and
closer to coming out with fully autonomous vehicles, they're still years away. Still, there are a few
vehicles that offer advanced driver (30) __________ features that make them close to being able to
drive themselves, such as audible alerts, visual displays or warning signals.

26. A. interact B. feel C. control D. scan

27. A. location B. journey C. site D. area

B. Read the following passage. For each of the questions from 31 to 35, write T if the statement
is TRUE, F if the statement is FALSE and NI if there is NO INFORMATION on it.

Social media is one of the most important inventions in the 21st century. According to
Huffpost, about 1.39 billion of people log in to Facebook each month to scroll their News Feed,
communicate with friends and post comments. If Facebook were a country, it would be one of the
most populous nations on earth. Social media has revolutionised the way we connect and
communicate with others. We can send and receive messages offline and in real time, audio and
video chatting, sharing pictures, videos and texts, go “live” to audience, and so on. Moreover, social
media connects people and businesses across continents. Today, businesses rely on social media to
create brand awareness as well as to promote and sell their products. It allows organisations to reach
customers, irrespective of geographical boundaries.
Sadly, there are several negative sides of this innovation. Social media lets you see the
carefully selected best parts of everyone else’s lives, which you then compare to the negatives in
your own life. As a result, this may create the feeling that everyone is better than you or everyone is
living a good life except you. It is a sure path to anxiety, depression and makes you devalue your
own ways of life. Cyberbullying is also an alarming problem. While bullying is not a new concept,
social media has brought bullying to a new level. People use the anonymity that social networks
provide to embarrass, humiliate or threaten someone. This can include sending mean texts or

emails, posting hurtful messages on social media sites, or spreading rumours online. And as it turns
out, cyberbullying doesn’t just affect kids. Adults can become victims of online abuse, too.

31. Facebook has got about 1.39 billion users. __________

32. Social media has changed the way people get in touch and interact with each other.
__________
33. Social media is the most essential way for businesses to reach customers and grow their brands.
__________
34. As people keep seeing good keep seeing the best parts of others’ lives on social media, it can
lead to anxiety and low self-esteem. __________

C. 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 40.

The stethoscope is considered as an iconic symbol of medicine. It was invented in 1816 by the
French physician René Théophile Hyacinthe Laënnec (1781-1826). At that time, in order to
diagnose the patient’s conditions, doctors had to use immediate auscultation, which means placing
their ears directly on the chests of patients to hear the heartbeat. This could be quite embarrassing
for female patients. One day, while walking in Paris, Dr. René saw two children sending signals to
each other using a long piece of solid wood and making scratching sounds with a pin. It was this
observation that inspired his invention of the stethoscope. First, he tested this idea by rolling up a
piece of paper and then used it to listen to his patient’s chest. He was surprised that he was able to
hear his patient’s heartbeat more clearly. Dr. René later experimented with different types of
materials until he finally decided upon a hollow tube of wood. He called this instrument “the
cylinder” due to its shape. Then, he changed its name into the “stethoscope” because from the
Greek ‘stethos’ means chest and ‘skopein’ means examining. In 1851, an Irish doctor named Arthur
Leared invented a binaural version of the stethoscope. A year later, George Cammann created a
flexible, rubber stethoscope and it was put into mass production. Throughout the 20th century, many
minor improvements were made to the stethoscope to reduce weight, improve acoustic quality, and
filter out external noise. Electronic versions of the stethoscope were also introduced to further
amplify the sounds inside the body. During the Covid-19 pandemic, digital stethoscopes are seen as
a major rise in popularity. A digital stethoscope is able to convert an acoustic sound to electronic
signals which can be transmitted to a personal computer, and doctors can remotely listen to it.
