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. 
A lot of wealthy individuals and companies around the world have personal and corporate jets. As you can imagine, these jets do not come with a small price tag. And when money becomes tight, there are times when the payments on these jets are not made, and they have to be repossessed. Enter the airplane repossession specialists. These men and women are responsible for recovering commercial aircraft from around the world, sometimes from less-than-ideal locations or owners, making it occasionally risky but equally thrilling work. 
You will be responsible for finding the aircraft's location and monitoring the site, somewhat like that of a private investigator. You will be determining the most opportune time to jump into the plane and take off with it. It is not as simple as the car repo man who shows up with a tow truck in the middle of the night. When an owner does not want to turn over their plane, planning to legally apprehend it can feel a bit like you're a secret agent in the latest Hollywood blockbuster. 
It is almost unheard of for airplane repo specialists to repossess planes on their own. You are typically sent as part of a team, which includes a mechanic who checks the plane to ensure that it is safe for take-off. Although airplane repo professionals come from all different kinds of backgrounds, you will have to become a commercial pilot since you need to fly the plane. And you could expect to receive good compensation for doing so. You will likely work on a commission basis. Forbes has reported that an airplane repo person can make anywhere from $10,000 to $90,000 per plane, depending on its resale value. 
Question 31: What could be the best title for the passage? 
Payments on The Jets 
Most Opportune Time to Jump into The Plane 
Mechanic Checks The Plane 
Airplane Repo Person

they make the trip occasionally risky

A. willing 	B. exciting 	C. opening 	D. leading 
Question 34: The word “which” in paragraph 3 refers to ______. 
team 	B. plane 	C. blockbuster 	D. compensation 
Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as an information about the job of the airplane repossession specialists? A. They are responsible for finding the aircraft's location. 
They check the plane to ensure that it is safe for take-off. 
They are typically sent as part of a team. 
They themselves need to fly the plane. 
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. 
The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we live and interact with each other. We often speak of the “new normal”. This concerns our social norms – meaning patterns of behaviour, aspirations, attitudes. Norms can be visible (overt) and hidden (covert); if we behave in a certain way long and frequently enough, it becomes normal for us. Our norms have changed during the pandemic since the disease caused by the virus is so infectious that we need to change our behaviour to prevent it from spreading further. These altered social norms include, among others, social distancing, the way we greet each other (e.g. by touching elbows), and the way we work (e.g. many of us are now working and learning remotely). 
Changing social norms also affect our social bonds. Because of the lockdown, some relationships have grown stronger (e.g. with family members, friends), and some – weaker (e.g. 
with more distant acquaintances, colleagues). We’ve worked out new ways to keep in touch with each other, and even to form new relationships – by, for example, organising online meetings or even parties. For many of us, this model of work and communication has already become the “new normal”, and it’s hard to imagine that we won’t keep at least some of today’s behaviours alive after the pandemic ends. 
There are many threats underlying these changes, though. It may happen, for instance, that people will become used to communicating only or almost only online, which will make their 
“offline” relationships weaker. The sense of alienation at work may increase – employees can become more alienated not only from their workplace but also from work itself. It’s still hard to tell what long-term social consequences the intensifying economic crisis will be for our lifestyle and how the way we work and our consumer behaviours will change. Much depends on how long the pandemic will last and how much our behaviour needs to change for us to be able to adapt to the new reality. 
It may appear that long after the threat is gone and all COVID-19-related restrictions, prohibitions, and “lockdowns” are abolished, even if we forget about the coronavirus, some of the social norms having emerged during the pandemic may be here to stay. 
Question 36: Which best serves as the title for the passage? A. How to Alter Social Norms? 
The Impact of COVID-19 on Social Norms

A. matter 	B. value 	C. type 	D. body 
Question 40: The word “which” in paragraph 3 refers to ______. 
A. online communication 	B. people 
C. changes 	 	D. relationships 
Question 41: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage? A. Altered social norms include the way we greet and work. 
We have no new ways to keep in touch with each other. 
People will become used to online communicating only. 
It’s still hard to tell how our consumer behaviours will change. 
Question 42: Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. The threat of COVID-19 will soon disappear.

Some of the social norms emerged during the pandemic will exist for ages.
