Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the other three in the position of primary stress in each of the following sentences.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how we live and learn. [I] It offers many benefits for students, especially in personalizing education. [II] AI adjusts the learning speed to fit each student's progress, ensuring no one is left behind or rushed. [III] It also adapts to different learning styles, using visual, auditory, and interactive methods. [IV] This support improves both academic knowledge and essential life skills, making learning more meaningful.

2. AI is reshaping education with personalized experiences, flexible programs, and easy access to opportunities. According to the International Data Corporation, the global AI in education market is expected to exceed 150 billion dollars by 2027. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies create immersive learning experiences by bringing abstract ideas to life. AR overlays digital content onto the real world, while VR offers a fully immersive, simulated environment. These technologies help make difficult concepts easier to understand through hands-on learning, such as virtually exploring space or dissecting a frog. AI enhances these experiences, making them more engaging and effective.

3. UNESCO emphasizes AI's role in addressing challenges like limited access to quality education, teacher shortages, and lack of resources. Countries like Singapore and the U.S. are leading in AI adoption. Singapore's "Smart Nation" strategy uses AI to automate grading and provide personalized feedback, even for students with special needs. In the U.S., government programs focus on adaptive learning and personalized assessments to improve education.

4. While AI has the potential to improve education, it also presents several challenges and ethical concerns. AI systems depend on large amounts of data, including sensitive student information such as academic records and learning preferences. It is essential to handle this data responsibly, ensuring students' privacy is protected. Additionally, AI tools may not always be designed with all students in mind, particularly those with disabilities. Therefore, accessibility must be prioritized during development to ensure that AI provides equal opportunities for all learners.

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.

The advent of street photography as a distinct genre is a relatively recent development, emerging just over half a century ago. In the early 20th century, pioneering photographers like Alfred Stieglitz explored urban scenes, but the limitations of technology led most photographers to primarily test the camera's capabilities and manipulate images in darkrooms for desired effects. The impulse to capture real-life moments gained momentum with Impressionist painters in the 1880s, setting the stage for street photography.

A pivotal moment arrived with the introduction of the Leica handheld camera in 1924. This 35-mm film camera allowed photographers to be mobile, capturing the essence of movement. Its wide aperture required shorter exposure times, revolutionizing outdoor photography. The Leica's rapid advancement enabled the capture of numerous sequential shots, eliminating the need for long exposure times and blurred movements. Photographers like André Kertész, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Ilse Bing, who primarily worked in Europe in the 1930s, favoured the Leica, though they didn't necessarily label themselves as street photographers. Instead, they identified as photojournalists, fashion photographers, or experimentalists. Following World War II, the Leica remained a favourite, particularly among New York City photographers, including Helen Levitt, Lisette Model, William Klein, and Roy DeCarava. Street photography gained ground globally, with notable practitioners like Manuel Álvarez Bravo and Graciela Iturbide in Mexico, Robert Doisneau in Paris, Josef Koudelka in Czechoslovakia, and Bill Brandt in London.

The 1960s brought a new wave of street photographers, with Lee Friedlander, Garry Winogrand, and Diane Arbus leading the way. This generation, epitomized by the 1967 "New Documents" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, demonstrated a documentary approach blended with personal perspectives. This recognition of photography as artistry rather than mere record-keeping paved the path for subsequent generations of street photographers worldwide, both with traditional cameras and, in the 21st century, with cell phones. Street photography continues to thrive as an art form deeply embedded in contemporary culture.

Trade Schools: A Practical Path to Career Success

1. If you prefer hands-on learning and seeing the results of your hard work, a trade school could be an excellent option. Trade schools focus on practical education, providing students with the skills they need to succeed in specific industries. They are an affordable and efficient way to prepare for in-demand jobs and enter the workforce quickly.

2. Trades are skilled jobs that require specialized training. While traditional trades include fields like construction and manufacturing, the range of trades has expanded to include technology, healthcare, culinary arts, and more. Trade programs are available at trade schools, vocational schools, and some community colleges. Unlike four-year colleges, trade schools focus entirely on the chosen field, skipping general elective courses. Programs usually take a few months to two years and award certificates instead of degrees.

3. One of the biggest advantages of trade schools is their affordability compared to four-year colleges. Students at accredited trade schools can apply for financial aid through FAFSA, which provides access to scholarships, grants, and loans. Scholarships and grants are particularly helpful because they don't need to be repaid. Costs vary by program, so researching options is important.

4. Trade schools offer many benefits. Classes are often small, so students receive personalized support from instructors. Graduates enter stable, high-paying fields that often provide union benefits and protections. Programs are often designed around local industry needs, offering strong employment opportunities in fields like energy, maritime work, or wind farming.

5. Many trade schools partner with employers to provide internships or apprenticeships. These paid opportunities allow students to gain valuable on-the-job experience, making trade schools a smart choice for career-focused individuals.

Australia has a well-organized and well-structured education system. The education starts at the age of five or six, but it may differ by a narrow margin between states. It starts with the preschool education which is not compulsory and can be offered within a school or separately. The primary and secondary school encompasses the compulsory education for Australians. There are a large number of primary and high school across the country with most of them being public schools. It is estimated that public schools amount to 60% of scholars as opposed to 40% in private settings. All these education providers must be licensed by the government and must fulfill certain requirements including infrastructure and teaching. Universities, on the other hand, are mainly public institutions.

The Australian education system has established a standard curriculum so all scholars will be given the same quality of education. Despite there may be some states at which this curriculum is modified a bit, but the change is not that significant. The actual curriculum set out in Australia education system is based on important abilities one must have in his life: Literacy, Numeracy, Information and communication technology, Critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability, ethical understanding, intercultural understanding.

Vocational and Technical schools prepare students that want to skip the university and want to move directly to the job market. Actually, here it stands the difference between universities and colleges: the Vocational and Technical Schools are more oriented in teaching practical skills while university courses are mainly theory-based to lead students to different academic careers. There are hundreds of other schools out there that provide technical and further education (TAFE) and vocational education and training (VET). These schools offer short courses, certificates I through IV, diplomas, and advanced diplomas. They focus on training their students in a particular vocation or just to help their students get out into the workplace. These schools offer a wide variety of courses and qualifications attained by these courses can lead to different career pathways to follow afterward.

Australian higher education modernity and reputation relies on a huge number of educational providers including universities and different training organizations. Currently, there are 43 universities across the country. The vast majority of universities are public except two private universities. The world-class teaching offered is surely undisputed. Seven Australian universities are traditionally found at the top 100 best universities in the world which is a sufficient indicator to highlight their quality.

Besides universities, more than 5,000 training organizations are registered and accredited. Actual figures show that the number of enrolled students is around 3.8 million with international students sharing more than half a million. There are also 3 self-accrediting higher education institutions. Furthermore, dozens of smaller schools do not grant any degrees or have an accreditation – these are private schools that focus on theology, business, information technology, natural therapies, hospitality, health, law, and accounting.

Which of the following could be the main topic of the passage?

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

1. Moving directly from school to work or higher education can be difficult and stressful. The transition from one demanding environment to another often leaves little time to pause and reflect. [I] A gap year provides an excellent opportunity to take a break, think about your goals, and plan for the future. [II] It allows you to step out of your comfort zone and experience personal growth through real-world learning. [III] For example, you could travel to new places, volunteer for meaningful causes, or immerse yourself in different cultures. [IV]

2. Academic life often feels like a constant race, with little time to pause due to classes, homework, and extracurricular activities. This intense schedule often leads to academic burnout, leaving students feeling unmotivated. A gap year provides the opportunity to recharge and rebuild enthusiasm for academic pursuits. By taking this break, students can return to their studies feeling refreshed and ready to achieve their goals.

3. For many students, a gap year is a chance to discover their interests and purposes. While some know their career path early, most are unsure about their future. During a gap year, you can explore what you enjoy and develop a clearer vision for your life. This time of self-discovery ensures you return to school ready to succeed in a major you are passionate about.

4. Additionally, a gap year helps build essential interpersonal skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving, which are highly valued by employers and universities. Whether volunteering abroad, leading community projects, or networking in your field of interest, these experiences can set you apart from others. A gap year not only prepares you for future challenges but also helps you grow into a confident, capable individual.

5. In conclusion, a gap year is a powerful tool for gaining experience, reducing stress, and finding direction.
