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 23 to 30.

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time. If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, children learn all the other things they learn to do without being taught - to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle - compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes.

But in school, we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes contingent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.

If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we, teachers, waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let's end all this nonsense of grades, exams, and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as schoolteachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one's life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, "But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?" Don't worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.

Question 23. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 1?

A. Children learn better when their work is critically judged by others

B. Children need more consistent guidance from teachers to judge their work.

C. Teachers should allow children to evaluate their own efforts and progress.

D. Teachers should consistently correct children's work more regularly.

Question 24. The word contingent in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by________.

        A. reliable        B. independent        C. confident        D. reliant

Question 25. The word nonsense in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to__________.

        A. basic knowledge        B. rational ideas        C. careful planning        D. pointless thoughts

Question 26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Children will inevitably fail to learn essential knowledge without guidance.

B. Children learn better when they are allowed to evaluate their own mistakes.

C. Grades and exams ultimately help children become independent learners.

D. Teachers should carefully correct all of a child's significant mistakes.

Question 27. The word them in paragraph 4 refers to_______.

        A. schoolteachers        B. parents and teachers        C. educated persons        D. schoolchildren

Question 28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the ways children learn independently?

A. by making gradual adjustments based on observation

B. by working with other children when needed

C. by receiving constant correction from teachers

D. by comparing their performance with others

Question 29. In which paragraph does the writer mention children's ability to self-learn?

A. Paragraph 2        B. Paragraph 3        C. Paragraph 4        D. Paragraph 1

Question 30. In which paragraph does the writer question the lifelong usefulness of school knowledge?

A. Paragraph 4        B. Paragraph 3        C. Paragraph 1        D. Paragraph 2

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 40.

Members of the royal family have led an outpouring of tributes from around the world at the death of Prince Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth. Buckingham Palace has spoken of the Queen's "deep sorrow" after her husband of 73 years, who had been by her side throughout her reign, died peacefully at Windsor Castle aged 99 on Friday night (Australian time). (I)

(II) Flags at Buckingham Palace and government buildings across the United Kingdom were lowered to half-mast, and within an hour of the announcement the public began to lay flowers outside Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. (III) However, mourners have been urged not to gather and leave tributes at royal residences, and the public has been asked to stay away from funeral events because of the coronavirus pandemic. (IV)

The prince died two months short of his 100 birthday. He had recently spent four weeks in hospital with an infection where he was treated for a heart condition before being discharged and returned to Windsor carly in March. The Duke of Edinburgh had been by his wife's side throughout her 69-year reign, the longest in British history, and during that time earned a reputation for a tough, no-nonsense attitude, and a propensity for occasional gaffes. A Greek prince, Philip married Elizabeth in 1947, and together they had four children, eight grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren. He played a key role helping the monarchy adapt to a changing world in the post-World War II period, and behind the walls of Buckingham Palace was the one key figure the Queen could trust and turn to, knowing he could tell her exactly what he thought.

C. Prince Philip passed away peacefully after a recent hospital stay and 73 years of marriage.

D. Prince Philip's health deteriorated after years of service to the royal family.
