Read the following passage about Subtle Sexism's Cumulative Effect 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.
Microaggressions are subtle, often unconscious behaviors or comments that communicate
discriminatory attitudes toward marginalized groups. In the context of gender, these seemingly minor
incidents may appear insignificant in isolation, but they significantly undermine women's experiences in
professional and social settings. Unlike overt sexism, microaggressions operate through casual remarks,
interruptions, or assumptions that gradually erode confidence and perpetuate gender stereotypes. Research
indicates that approximately 68% of women encounter gender-based microaggressions regularly, yet these
experiences frequently remain unaddressed because they're difficult to pinpoint or are dismissed as
oversensitivity.
Common manifestations of gender microaggressions permeate daily interactions. Women often
endure being interrupted more frequently than their male counterparts during meetings, a phenomenon
researchers call "manterrupting." Additionally, women's ideas may be overlooked until a man reiterates
them, after which they suddenly receive acclaim. Professional women regularly face assumptions about their
temperament, with assertive behavior labeled as "aggressive" while similar conduct from men is deemed
"confident." These disparities extend to domestic spheres too, where women encounter presumptions about
their primary responsibility for childcare and household management, regardless of their professional
commitments.
The cumulative impact of these subtle indignities can be devastating over time. Women subjected to
persistent microaggressions report diminished self-efficacy and increased psychological distress, including
symptoms of anxiety and depression. This continuous undermining impedes career advancement, as women
may hesitate to contribute ideas or pursue leadership roles. Studies demonstrate that environments rife with
microaggressions correlate with higher turnover rates among female employees, costing organizations
valuable talent. Moreover, this persistent devaluation exacts a toll on physical health, with research linking
chronic stress from discrimination to cardiovascular issues and compromised immune function.
Addressing microaggressions necessitates both individual awareness and institutional reform.
Organizations must implement comprehensive training programs that illuminate these subtle behaviors and
their detrimental effects. Individuals should practice self-reflection about their own biases and
Trang 6
communication patterns. When witnessing microaggressions, allies play a crucial role by amplifying
women's voices and validating their experiences rather than dismissing concerns. Educational
institutions can contribute by incorporating awareness of gender dynamics into curricula. Though
challenging to eradicate entirely, acknowledging microaggressions represents an essential step toward
creating genuinely equitable environments where women can thrive without constantly navigating subtle
sexism.
Question 23: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a form of gender microaggression?
A. Women being interrupted more frequently than men during meetings
B. Women's ideas being overlooked until a man reiterates them

Read the following passage about the How Solutions Create New Problems 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.
Throughout history, humans have continually developed innovations to solve existing problems, only
to discover these solutions often create new challenges. Many environmentalists have a bone to pick with
technology companies that promote each new device as progress while ignoring the electronic waste crisis
these products eventually create. This pattern of problem-solution-new problem represents what experts call
the invention cycle, a perpetual process where addressing one difficulty frequently introduces unforeseen
complications. [I] As civilizations advance, this cycle accelerates, requiring increasingly sophisticated
responses to maintain balance between technological benefits and their consequences.
The automobile exemplifies this cycle perfectly. Cars solved the limitations of horse-drawn
transportation, offering faster travel and eliminating manure-filled streets. [II] Similarly, social media
platforms designed to connect people across distances have inadvertently contributed to privacy concerns,
information bubbles, and mental health issues. Plastic, once hailed as a revolutionary material, now presents
enormous environmental challenges as microplastics infiltrate ecosystems worldwide. These examples
demonstrate how solutions inevitably spawn new problems requiring additional innovations.
Modern society experiences this cycle at unprecedented speeds. The rapid pace of technological
advancement means new problems emerge before we fully understand or address existing ones.
Artificial intelligence promises incredible efficiency gains while simultaneously raising concerns about job
displacement, algorithmic bias, and autonomous weapon systems. Renewable energy technologies reduce
carbon emissions but create challenges around land use, material sourcing, and intermittency. [III] Medical
advances extend lifespans but strain healthcare systems and retirement structures. This acceleration
necessitates more thoughtful approaches to innovation that anticipate potential consequences.
Rather than viewing this cycle pessimistically, we should recognize it as an inherent aspect of human
progress that requires vigilance and adaptation. By acknowledging that every solution creates new problems,
inventors and policymakers can incorporate systems thinking into development processes, considering
broader implications beyond immediate benefits. [IV] This perspective encourages more holistic approaches
to innovation, including stakeholder engagement, ethical frameworks, and ongoing assessment. Ultimately,
the invention cycle isn't something to avoid but to manage conscientiously, ensuring technological progress
enhances rather than diminishes human welfare and environmental sustainability.
