Read the following passage about Inventions With Unintended Consequences 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.
Innovation drives human civilization forward, yet history is replete with inventions that have
unleashed unforeseen ramifications. This duality—where breakthroughs simultaneously advance society
while generating unexpected problems—characterizes the precarious nature of technological progress. Even
Trang 6
the most conscientious inventors cannot anticipate how their creations might evolve or be repurposed once
they permeate different contexts. This inherent unpredictability renders innovation a double-edged sword
that warrants vigilant scrutiny and ongoing assessment.
Consider antibiotics, one of medicine's most transformative discoveries. When Alexander Fleming
stumbled upon penicillin in 1928, he envisioned a miracle cure for bacterial infections that had previously
decimated populations. Initially celebrated for saving countless lives, antibiotics have inadvertently
accelerated evolutionary processes, spawning resistant superbugs that now imperil global health systems.
This biological arms race epitomizes how a solution to one problem can engender an even more formidable
challenge, as bacteria continually adapt to circumvent our pharmaceutical defenses, potentially ushering in a
post-antibiotic era where routine infections again become lethal.
The digital revolution presents another compelling case study. Smartphones and constant
connectivity promised unprecedented access to information and communication efficiency. However, these
devices have surreptitiously reconfigured human attention spans and cognitive functioning. Research
indicates that excessive screen time correlates with diminished concentration, disrupted sleep patterns, and
compromised memory formation. Furthermore, the algorithms that curate our digital experiences have
fractured our shared reality, creating epistemic bubbles where confirmation bias flourishes and nuanced
discourse atrophies, thereby undermining democratic processes and collective problem-solving capacity.
This pattern underscores the imperative for anticipatory governance of emerging technologies.
Responsible innovation necessitates integrating diverse perspectives—including those from marginalized
communities often bearing the brunt of technological externalities. Forecasting potential impacts across
varied timeframes and implementing regulatory frameworks that evolve alongside technologies could
mitigate unintended consequences. The challenge lies not in abandoning innovation but in cultivating
foresight that transcends short-term gains to encompass holistic well-being across generations and
ecosystems.

Read the following passage about the How Language Shapes Invention 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.
Language has always been the invisible foundation of human innovation. When inventors throw
their hat into the ring with new ideas, the words they choose to describe their creations significantly
influence how these inventions are perceived and developed. The relationship between terminology and
creativity extends beyond simple description—it actively shapes the conceptual frameworks within which
inventors operate. The vocabulary available in a language can either limit or expand the horizons of what
seems possible to create.
[I] Consider how the term "artificial intelligence" has guided development in that field, conjuring
images of human-like thinking rather than just complex algorithms. Similarly, the shift from calling certain
technologies "machines" to calling them "robots" fundamentally altered public perception and research
directions. [II] These linguistic choices frame our understanding of new technologies and subsequently
Trang 8
influence funding priorities, research questions, and implementation strategies in ways that often go
unexamined.
Linguistic diversity across cultures generates different approaches to similar problems. Japanese
inventors, for instance, benefit from a language that contains precise terms for spatial relationships that
don't exist in English, potentially enhancing certain types of engineering innovation. [III] Meanwhile,
languages with grammatical structures that emphasize process over outcome may foster more
experimentation-friendly innovation environments. These linguistic variations create diverse innovation
ecosystems worldwide, each with unique strengths derived from its language's particular characteristics.
Effective communication ultimately determines whether innovations spread or stagnate. Inventors
must translate complex technical concepts into accessible language for non-specialists, investors, and
potential users. This translation process isn't merely explanatory—it reshapes the innovation itself as
creators adapt their work to be more understandable and marketable. [IV] Throughout history, the
most successful innovations haven't necessarily been the most technically superior but rather those whose
creators could effectively communicate their value through language that resonated with their intended
audience.
Question 31: The phrase “throw their hat into the ring” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by
_________.
A. show off B. jump in C. come up with D. set forth
Question 32: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. How naming affects the evolution of innovations
B. The influence of grammatical structures on innovation approaches
C. The role of effective communication in spreading innovations
D. The impact of educational institutions on technological terminology
Question 33: Where in the paragraph does the following sentence best fit?
The act of naming an innovation represents a crucial moment in its evolution.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 34: Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
A. Japanese language contains superior terminology for engineering that gives their inventors significant
advantages over English-speaking counterparts in all technical fields.
B. The grammatical structures of certain languages determine which cultures will produce more innovative
technologies through emphasizing experimental processes.
C. Different languages provide unique linguistic features that contribute to diverse innovation approaches
and strengths across various cultures worldwide.
D. Innovation ecosystems vary globally because certain cultures prioritize spatial thinking while others
focus on process-oriented methods regardless of language.
Question 35: The word “spatial” in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _________.
Trang 9
A. physical B. temporal C. dimensional D. structural
Question 36: The word “its” in paragraph 3 refers to _________.
A. Linguistic variations
B. Unique strengths
C. Particular characteristics
D. Each innovation ecosystem
Question 37: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. The process of translation helps inventors explain their complex ideas to various audiences without
altering any aspects of the original innovation's fundamental design.
B. Inventors must carefully describe their creations using accessible language while ensuring technical
details remain unchanged for specialists and potential investors.
C. The explanation process requires inventors to communicate effectively about their work while
maintaining the original design features despite marketing considerations.
D. When inventors simplify technical concepts, they don't just explain their work differently but actually
modify the innovations themselves to enhance clarity and commercial appeal.
Question 38: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. All innovations require equally effective translation processes from technical to accessible language,
regardless of their inherent complexity or intended audience focus.
B. The technical superiority of an invention ultimately determines its success, while language merely serves
as a tool for describing existing concepts rather than shaping them.
C. The most successful innovations throughout history have often been those whose creators effectively
communicated their value to their intended audience.
D. Languages with precise spatial terminology, like Japanese produce objectively superior engineering
solutions compared to those developed by inventors working with English.
Question 39: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Inventors who speak multiple languages likely have innovative advantages due to access to diverse
conceptual frameworks and terminologies.
B. Technical superiority will become increasingly important as global communication technologies
standardize innovation language across cultures.
C. The decline in linguistic diversity worldwide will eventually lead to more uniform approaches to solving
technical and engineering challenges.
D. Innovations named with familiar rather than novel terminology typically gain wider acceptance but limit
long-term development possibilities.
Question 40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. Technical innovation is fundamentally constrained by language limitations, requiring inventors to first
expand linguistic frameworks before achieving breakthroughs in their respective fields.
Trang 10
B. The success of innovations depends primarily on effective naming strategies that leverage familiar
concepts, as demonstrated by terms like "artificial intelligence" and "robots."
C. Language significantly shapes innovation by influencing how creators conceptualize possibilities, with
terminology affecting development paths and communication determining market success.
D. Cultural and linguistic diversity creates competitive advantages in global innovation, with Japanese
spatial terminology exemplifying how language differences lead to specialized technical capabilities.
