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 35. 
The Earth used to spin on its axis faster than it does today. After the hypothetical giant impact that led to the formation of the moon, the Earth's day was as short as 6 hours. How did it get to a leisurely 24? 
That's right, it was the moon! The moon makes some pretty nice tides, but the Earth is also spinning on its axis. That spinning physically drags the tidal bulges around the planet. So instead of the tides appearing directly beneath the moon, they're slightly ahead of it, orbitally speaking. 
So you've got a big lump of extra ocean water in a place where it's not supposed to be. Since gravity is a two-way street, that lump pulls on the moon. Like tugging a reluctant dog on a leash, that tidal bulge yanks on the moon bit by bit, accelerating it into ever-higher orbits. 
By the way, the moon is slowly getting farther away from Earth. And that energy to accelerate the moon has to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is the Earth itself: Day by day, millennium by millennium, the Earth slows down, converting its rotational energy into the moon's orbital energy. 
If you took away the moon, itꞌs not like this process would reverse, but it wouldn't keep going. That might or might not be a good thing, depending on how much you like the length of your workday. 
Question 31: What could be the best title for the passage? 
A. Do You Like 24 Hours in A Day? 	B. The Moon Makes Tides 
C. Extra Ocean Water in A Place 	D. The Earth’s rotational energy 
Question 32: According to paragraph 2, the tides appear slightly ahead of the moon because ______. 
the moon is also spinning on its axis 
the moon moves orbitally 
the Earth’s spinning physically drags them 
the Earth is much bigger than the moon 
Question 33: The word “where” in paragraph 3 refers to ______. 
A. big lump 	B. ocean water 	C. place 	D. gravity 
Question 34: The word “reluctant” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. unique 	B. unwilling 	C. conscious 	D. relevant 
Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a fact related to the moon? 
The distance between the moon and the Earth is slowly farther. 
The moon's orbital energy originates from the Earth’s rotational energy. 
The disappearance of the moon wouldn’t reverse the process. 
The length of your workday depends much on the moon. 
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 36 to 42. 
Going beyond body language that involves skin contact, there are other business-related practices involving contact with surfaces that will also likely be phased out. Again, this would probably have happened anyway, but COVID-19 has hastened the process. The use of AirPlay and other mirroring technology will become the mainstay, and using a public desktop computer in a meeting room, with people bringing their files on USB flash drives, will become a thing of the past. Is your boss still printing hard copies of the meeting agenda and passing it out prior to the meeting? This is the time to finally start sharing all those forms digitally and have them live on a cloud. 
Touchless technology in general will become more standard across the board. For example, if your workplace cafeteria currently doesn’t have a touchless payment system, it likely soon will. Accessible doors will finally gain traction. Automatic doors for bathrooms and meeting rooms have been sold for years in the name of accessibility. Now that they can serve a dual purpose (i.e. 
accessibility and the prevention of viral transmissions), more companies will implement them. 
Business travel, a source of much surface contact (as well as skin contact from all that handshaking), will also be transformed. Most likely we’ll see an overall decrease of it, just like we did after 9/11 and the Great Recession. Teleconferencing is here to stay and it will become much more immersive, eliminating the need for a significant amount of business travel. In-person, physical travel will be reserved for the more essential trips. 
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, once said “For all of the beauty of technology and all the things we’ve helped facilitate over the years, nothing yet replaces human interaction.” And it’s true. When it comes to effective business communication, nothing will replace human interaction. Rather, human interaction, both in-person and digital, is simply evolving. And this evolution, particularly when it is in response to shifting societal needs, is mostly a good thing. Question 36: Which best serves as the title for the passage? 
The Use of AirPlay 
Touchless Technology in General 
Business Setups, Practices, and Travel Will Change 
The Great Recession 
Question 37: The word “process” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. inspection 	B. position 	C. reaction 	D. evolution 
Question 38: In paragraph 1, practices involving contact with surfaces will ______. 
A. happen more regularly 	B. be eliminated faster due to COVID-19 
C. become the mainstay 	D. be passed out prior to the meeting 
Question 39: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to ______. 
A. cafeteria 	B. system 	C. traction 	D. accessibility 
Question 40: The word “overall” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. A. practical 	B. general 	C. rational 	D. colossal 
Question 41: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage? 
Public desktop computer in a meeting room will become a thing of the past. 
Touchless technology will become more and more popular. 
Teleconferencing will never eliminate business travel. 
According to Tim Cook, nothing can replace human interaction. 
Question 42: Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Human interaction is irreplaceable, but it may change. 
The beauty of technology will make things more interesting. 
Effective business communication must be made with a digital device. 
Shifting societal needs is mostly a good thing.
