answer to each of the questions from 29 to 33.
International Women's Day, celebrated on March 8th, is a time to honor women's progress and
advocate for real change towards gender equality. This day, rooted in a 1908 demonstration where 15,000
women in New York City stood united for equal rights, better pay, shorter hours, and voting rights, has
grown into a worldwide movement. Clara Zetkin, at a meeting in 1910, suggested a special day each year to
focus on women's rights, leading to the first International Women's Day in 1911.
Despite some beliefs that women have equal chances as men, the reality often tells a different story.
Girls worldwide face more household duties than boys and are more likely to miss out on school. In many
countries, equal education for both genders is not guaranteed, and many girls are married off young, which

3
can force them to end school early, lead to early pregnancy together with other health issues, and increase
the chance of domestic violence.
On International Women's Day, people participate in activities that raise awareness and call for
gender equality. Wearing purple, a color of women's rights history, is common. It is also a day when women
are celebrated with gifts and social recognition in some places.
The journey towards full gender equality continues to face challenges. Yet, women's groups across
the globe remain strong and active, with younger women and teenagers adding their voices and energy to the
cause. They are organizing, speaking out, and urging a shift in how we view and act towards each other
regarding gender roles.

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 34 to 40.
Since the birth of the car in 1886, transport in big cities has changed a lot. It is no wonder many
experts think that there will be extraordinary changes in the next few decades.
As technology develops, highways, skylines, subways will be all transformed. Smarter roadways
and highways in cities outfitted with IoT sensors will process all kinds of data in real time and inform users
of the best transport options. Weather, crashes, traffic conditions will be communicated to users and smart
stops will be found everywhere providing renewable energy, green hydrogen or even greener energy,
ensuring efficiency and safety on every highway. Tunnels will also be a smart choice because of the
reduction of traffic congestion. Underground roads will be built in 3D with a lift system which will take
vehicles deep underground and will allow traffic to attain the greatest speed without intersections.
There will also be innovations in the sky. Air taxis are not a new idea, but in the future they will be
completely environment-friendly. Aviation gasoline will be no longer used. Green energy will be in place
and cost-effective air taxis will enable people to travel from one busy urban city to another in record time.

4
 New technologies such as AI and the rollout of 5G will pave the way for fully autonomous
innovation. Cars will not be the only thing to go autonomous. Freight trucks, cargo vehicles, air taxis will all
benefit from this technology and that is why the term 'driver' will become extinct.
Transport will go green. Electric or hydrogen power will be mainstream. There will still be issues to
solve such as safety, speed and cost, and of course governments will need to make new traffic laws.
(Adapted from Friends Global)

A. remained unchanged B. increased dramatically
C. appeared dissimilar D. varied slightly
Question 36: The word attain in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

Question 37: Which of the following is NOT stated in paragraph 2?
A. IoT sensors will inform users of the most suitable transport options.
B. Road users can communicate with one another about traffic conditions.
C. Smart stops will be available to ensure safety on the highway.
D. To reduce traffic congestion, underground roads can be a good choice.
Question 38: The word they in paragraph 3 refers to ______.

B. green energy, though quite expensive, will be really effective for air taxis
C. not only cars but also other vehicles will benefit greatly from the underground system
