Read the following passage about How Retrieval Practice Transforms Learning and mark the letter
A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks
from 18 to 22.
Many educators and students perceive examinations as merely stressful evaluation tools; however,
cognitive psychology research demonstrates that assessments can significantly enhance learning outcomes
when implemented strategically. (18)_________ and deepening conceptual understanding. This technique
involves actively recalling information from memory rather than passively reviewing notes or textbooks.
What makes retrieval practice particularly effective, (19)_________. Studies indicate that learners who
regularly test themselves retain approximately 80% of acquired vocabulary, whereas those relying solely on
rereading remember considerably fewer terms. The process of retrieving information creates stronger neural
connections; consequently, memories become more stable and accessible over extended periods.
Furthermore, assessments (20)_________. Unfortunately, many contemporary educational systems
prioritize high-stakes standardized examinations that emphasize superficial multiple-choice questions. These
evaluations frequently provide minimal constructive feedback, thereby limiting their pedagogical value and
failing to support genuine intellectual development. Low-stakes quizzes encourage deeper engagement with
material; (21)_________. When educators combine frequent informal assessments with opportunities for
reflection, testing transforms from a mere performance measurement into a powerful cognitive enhancement
tool. Students can subsequently make meaningful connections between diverse concepts and apply acquired
knowledge across various unfamiliar contexts.
In conclusion, the educational community should reconsider its perspective on examinations. Rather
than viewing tests exclusively as assessment instruments, (22)_________ that foster long-term retention and
comprehensive understanding.

Read the following passage about Recognizing When Professional Change Becomes Necessary and
mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following
questions from 23 to 30.
Experiencing professional stagnation represents a universal phenomenon affecting workers across
various career stages and industries. Numerous employees encounter challenging periods when their
vocational trajectory appears to plateau entirely, stemming from organizational restructuring, technological
disruptions, or fundamental misalignment between personal aspirations and occupational responsibilities.
Understanding these warning indicators enables individuals to make informed decisions regarding their
professional futures rather than remaining trapped in unfulfilling positions indefinitely.
Limited upward mobility constitutes the primary symptom of career stagnation that professionals
encounter. Workers frequently discover that advancement opportunities have evaporated due to hierarchical
constraints, economic downturns, or widespread industry consolidation. Simultaneously, chronic exhaustion
—commonly termed burnout—emerges when individuals consistently perform tasks misaligned with their
inherent capabilities or intrinsic motivations. This psychological depletion extends beyond mere overwork,
Page 7
encompassing situations where daily responsibilities feel purposeless or disconnected from meaningful
personal objectives.
Perceiving minimal organizational contribution represents another critical indicator warranting
serious attention from professionals. Employees who sense their efforts generate negligible impact upon
colleagues, institutions, or broader society inevitably experience profound disengagement and mounting
frustration over time. Furthermore, when occupational duties become monotonous, providing insufficient
intellectual stimulation or developmental prospects, ambitious professionals naturally crave enhanced
responsibilities that better leverage their competencies and fulfill their deeper aspirations.
Persistent negative emotional patterns—including demotivation, irritability, and complacency—
signal that someone has reached a vocational impasse requiring intervention. Before initiating dramatic
transitions, however, experts recommend soliciting candid feedback from trusted mentors, conducting
thorough self-reflection regarding fundamental values, and investigating alternative pathways such as
lateral transfers or competency enhancement programs. These preparatory measures ensure that
subsequent career decisions align authentically with long-term professional ambitions and personal
fulfillment requirements effectively.

Read the following passage about the When Wildlife Returns to the City and mark the letter A, B, C
or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
In recent decades, a remarkable ecological phenomenon has caused a stir across European
metropolitan areas: the unprecedented return of wildlife to urban environments. This complex process,
known as urban rewilding, occurs when rural regions are progressively abandoned, and natural vegetation
gradually reclaims formerly cultivated landscapes. Consequently, numerous species—including wild boars,
deer, and foxes—have migrated toward densely populated zones, actively seeking abundant food sources
and suitable shelter. [I] Researchers in Genoa, Italy, have meticulously documented this fascinating
transformation, revealing that encounters between humans and wildlife have become increasingly
commonplace throughout the entire municipality.
The geographical distribution of wildlife sightings demonstrates significant variation across different
residential neighborhoods. Suburban districts and valley territories, particularly Val Bisagno, experience
substantially higher frequencies of animal encounters compared to central urban cores. [II] Wild boars
represent the most prevalent large mammals observed by local inhabitants, appearing regularly near
riverbeds, verdant recreational spaces, major thoroughfares, and occasionally crowded public squares. These
comprehensive observations suggest that peripheral residential zones effectively serve as critical transitional
corridors connecting their surrounding wilderness areas and heavily urbanized territories.
Public attitudes toward cohabitation with wildlife reveal considerable complexity and profound
ambivalence among residents. While certain inhabitants express genuine apprehension regarding potential
safety hazards and significant property deterioration, others interpret animal presence as compelling
Page 9
evidence of environmental amelioration. Interestingly, extensive survey data indicates that citizens do not
categorically oppose wildlife inhabiting metropolitan spaces whatsoever. [III ]Instead, respondents
enthusiastically advocate for comprehensive urban planning strategies that facilitate harmonious coexistence
between humans and diverse fauna, consistently emphasizing the absolute necessity of balanced
management approaches.
Understanding public perception constitutes an indispensable component of developing sustainable
wildlife management policies for modern cities. Municipal authorities must carefully reconcile ecological
preservation objectives with legitimate public safety considerations while remaining genuinely
responsive to diverse citizen perspectives. The Genoa case study convincingly demonstrates that
contemporary cities are rapidly evolving into shared habitats requiring thoughtful governance frameworks.
[IV ]Ultimately, successful urban rewilding fundamentally depends upon collaborative approaches that
simultaneously respect both biodiversity conservation imperatives and essential community welfare
priorities throughout metropolitan regions.
