Blockchain seems complicated, and it definitely can be, but its core concept is really quite simple. A blockchain is a type of database. To be able to understand blockchain, it helps to first understand what a database actually is. 
A database is a collection of information that is stored electronically on a computer system. Information, or data, in databases is typically structured in table format to allow for easier searching and filtering for specific information. What is the difference between someone using a spreadsheet to store information rather than a database? 
Spreadsheets are designed for one person, or a small group of people, to store and access limited amounts of information. In contrast, a database is designed to house significantly larger amounts of information that can be accessed, filtered, and manipulated quickly and easily by any number of users at once. 
Large databases achieve this by housing data on servers that are made of powerful computers. These servers can sometimes be built using hundreds or thousands of computers in order to have the computational power and storage capacity necessary for many users to access the database simultaneously. While a spreadsheet or database may be accessible to any number of people, it is often owned by a business and managed by an appointed individual that has complete control over how it works and the data within it. 
Question 31: What could be the best title for the passage? A. What is Large Databases? 
Collection of Information 
Database designed to house more information 
Computational Power and Storage Capacity 
Question 32: According to paragraph 2, information in databases is easier to search and filter because ______.

it is typically structured in table format 
it uses a spreadsheet to store information 
Question 33: The word “that” in paragraph 3 refers to ______. 
A. database 	B. information 	C. users 	D. people 
Question 34: The word “powerful” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. decent 	B. obvious 	C. severe 	D. mighty 
Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of large databases? 
Their servers are made of powerful computers. 
Their servers consist of hundreds or thousands of computers. 
Their data can be accessed simultaneously by many users.

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 Finnish government will be adding a digital ID option to supplement its passport requirements by 2023, reports VerietyInfo. The move will help assist around one million Finnish citizens who do not own a valid form of identification, many of them being minors. According to the report the nation has also seen a decrease in child passports and certificates. 
Authorities attribute the decline in passport and ID applications to the ongoing pandemic. Within one year, passport and ID ownership in Finland has fallen from 4.35 million to 4.18. 
“Traditionally, the Finns update these documents very quickly. The COVID period had a significant impact on this,” said the Police Department Inspector General Juhani Rouuta. 
Despite this temporary decline, Finland is expecting passport applications to spike again once travel picks up again post-COVID. The Finnish digital ID will not only supplement passports, which are still required for travel but also help individuals authenticate themselves with more ease for business and other digital transactions. 
According to Information Management Advisor Maria Nikkilọ, the new digital ID will be easy-to-use for individuals who have difficulties in acquiring and using mobile devices and other digital means. “The idea is also that in addition to the mobile application, an alternative device will be offered, such as a pen that can be connected to a computer,” says Nikkilọ. “So, owning a phone won’t be a mandatory requirement.” 
Whether or not Finland will adopt a digital ID for international travel remains to be seen. 
“International research is being conducted on the possibility of a digital travel document. It has long-term goals worldwide. In a few years, it will probably be possible in a certain area, such as 
Europe,” Rouuta added. This year, the country will be adding fingerprint biometrics to its identity cards, following new EU regulations. 
Question 36: Which best serves as the title for the passage? 
A. Finland to Introduce Digital ID by 2023 	B. Impacts of the COVID Period in Findland 
C. More Ease for Business in Findland 	D. Mobile Devices and Other Digital Means

Question 38: In paragraph 2, authorities assume the reason for the decline in passport and ID applications to be ______. 
A. the Finns’ traditionally slow action 	B. the close of Police Department 
C. the pandemic 	 	D. the useless ID card 
Question 39: The word “mandatory” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______. 
A. coherent 	B. fantastic 	C. compulsory 	D. gigantic
