Question 14. a. As a result, workers are being encouraged to develop skills that machines cannot easily copy, such as creativity and emotional intelligence.
b. Artificial intelligence is changing the way many industries operate, from manufacturing to customer service.
c. However, this shift also raises concerns about job losses in roles that involve repetitive tasks.
d. Companies now use AI to automate tasks that used to take employees hours to complete.

Question 16. a. For instance, someone might start as a graphic designer and later move into user-experience design as technology evolves.
b. A career path today rarely follows a single straight line from one job to retirement.
c. This flexibility can feel unsettling at first, but it also opens up opportunities that did not exist a decade ago.
d. Instead, many people now switch fields several times, building new skills along the way.

Question 17. a. One reason is that automation keeps changing which skills employers value most.
b. Workers today are expected to keep learning long after they finish formal education.
c. For example, someone trained in accounting a decade ago may now need to learn how to use AI-powered software.
d. Employers, in turn, are starting to offer more training programmes to help staff keep up.
e. In short, learning has become a lifelong task rather than something that ends with a diploma.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.

A three-year study by agricultural scientists has examined how wild bee populations affect the productivity of fruit farms across northern Vietnam. Researchers compared orchards that relied only on managed honeybee hives with orchards that also attracted wild bees through hedgerows and wildflower strips planted along the field edges.

The results were striking. Orchards with both wild bees and managed honeybees produced, on average, twenty-two percent more fruit per tree than orchards with honeybees alone. The scientists explained that different bee species visit flowers at different times of day and in different weather conditions, so having a variety of pollinators means more flowers get visited overall. Managed honeybees, for example, tend to avoid flying on cloudy or windy days, while certain wild bee species continue working in exactly those conditions.

The study also found that farms bordering forests or unmanaged grassland had noticeably higher numbers of wild bees than farms surrounded only by other farmland, since wild bees need untouched land to build their nests and find food outside the flowering season. This finding suggests that protecting small patches of natural habitat near farms could be just as important as introducing more honeybee hives. Several farmers who took part in the study have since left strips of wildflowers unmown along their fences, and early reports suggest that bee numbers there have already begun to rise.

Despite these encouraging results, the researchers warn that wild bee populations remain vulnerable to pesticide use and habitat loss. They recommend that farmers reduce spraying during flowering periods and avoid clearing hedgerows whenever possible, arguing that these simple changes could protect both bee populations and long-term fruit yields.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.

For most of the twentieth century, a typical career path followed a predictable shape: a person trained for one profession, joined a company or organisation, and remained in a closely related role until retirement. Loyalty to a single employer was often seen as a virtue, and switching careers midway through working life was considered unusual, even risky.

Several forces have reshaped this pattern over the past few decades. [I] Automation and artificial intelligence now perform many tasks that used to require years of specialised training, from data entry to basic legal research. [II] At the same time, globalisation has made it possible for companies to hire talent from anywhere in the world, increasing competition for many traditional roles. [III] Economic downturns have also pushed workers to develop backup skills outside their main field, just in case their industry contracts unexpectedly. [IV] Together, these pressures have made career changes far more common than they were a generation ago.

For students choosing a career today, this shift means that the specific job title they pick at eighteen matters less than the transferable skills they build along the way, since many of today's most in-demand roles did not exist ten years ago. Career counsellors increasingly encourage students to think in terms of skill clusters, such as problem-solving, communication, and digital literacy, rather than committing permanently to a single narrow specialism straight after school. This does not mean that deep expertise is no longer valuable; rather, it means that expertise now needs to be paired with the flexibility to apply it in new contexts.

Employers surveyed across several industries consistently rank adaptability and the ability to learn independently above specific technical knowledge, arguing that technical skills can be taught relatively quickly once a new employee demonstrates a strong learning habit. Soft skills such as teamwork and clear communication remain equally important, since even highly automated workplaces still depend on people coordinating with one another and explaining decisions to clients or colleagues.

None of this means that career planning has become pointless. It simply means that a career path is now better understood as a series of connected chapters rather than a single fixed destination, and young people who prepare for that reality, rather than resisting it, are likely to adapt most successfully as industries continue to change.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.

For most of the twentieth century, a typical career path followed a predictable shape: a person trained for one profession, joined a company or organisation, and remained in a closely related role until retirement. Loyalty to a single employer was often seen as a virtue, and switching careers midway through working life was considered unusual, even risky.

Several forces have reshaped this pattern over the past few decades. [I] Automation and artificial intelligence now perform many tasks that used to require years of specialised training, from data entry to basic legal research. [II] At the same time, globalisation has made it possible for companies to hire talent from anywhere in the world, increasing competition for many traditional roles. [III] Economic downturns have also pushed workers to develop backup skills outside their main field, just in case their industry contracts unexpectedly. [IV] Together, these pressures have made career changes far more common than they were a generation ago.

For students choosing a career today, this shift means that the specific job title they pick at eighteen matters less than the transferable skills they build along the way, since many of today's most in-demand roles did not exist ten years ago. Career counsellors increasingly encourage students to think in terms of skill clusters, such as problem-solving, communication, and digital literacy, rather than committing permanently to a single narrow specialism straight after school. This does not mean that deep expertise is no longer valuable; rather, it means that expertise now needs to be paired with the flexibility to apply it in new contexts.

Employers surveyed across several industries consistently rank adaptability and the ability to learn independently above specific technical knowledge, arguing that technical skills can be taught relatively quickly once a new employee demonstrates a strong learning habit. Soft skills such as teamwork and clear communication remain equally important, since even highly automated workplaces still depend on people coordinating with one another and explaining decisions to clients or colleagues.

None of this means that career planning has become pointless. It simply means that a career path is now better understood as a series of connected chapters rather than a single fixed destination, and young people who prepare for that reality, rather than resisting it, are likely to adapt most successfully as industries continue to change.
