The Rise of Homelessness in Urban Areas
Homelessness has become a growing social issue in many urban areas across the world, with increasing
numbers of people unable to afford basic housing. The causes of homelessness are complex and
multifaceted, often linked to factors such as poverty, unemployment, mental health issues, and the high
cost of living in major cities. For many individuals, losing a job or facing a personal crisis can lead to a
sudden downward spiral, leaving them without stable housing. (10) _______, experts argue that the
lack of affordable housing is one of the primary drivers of this crisis. With rents and property prices
rising steadily, more and more people are finding it difficult to secure a place to live.
Homelessness is not just about the absence of shelter; it also comes with profound social and
psychological consequences. People who are homeless often face stigma, discrimination, and isolation,
making it harder for them to reintegrate into society. (11) _______ , studies show that homelessness can
lead to poor mental health, including depression and anxiety. Without a stable environment, individuals
struggle to access necessary healthcare, employment, and educational opportunities.
Efforts to address homelessness have increased in recent years, with various organizations and
government programs aimed at providing temporary housing, food, and support services. (12) _______,
critics point out that while these initiatives help in the short term, they do not address the root causes of
homelessness, such as the shortage of affordable housing and the lack of long-term solutions. Many
experts agree that a more comprehensive approach, including increased investment in affordable
housing, mental health services, and job training, is necessary to tackle the problem effectively.
In conclusion, homelessness remains a significant challenge in urban areas, and while progress has
been made, there is still much work to be done. (13) _______ , it is crucial for governments,
organizations, and communities to work together to find sustainable solutions. Addressing
homelessness requires not only providing immediate relief but also implementing long-term strategies

* Read the following passage about powering 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 24 to 30.
In the modern era, social media has become deeply ingrained in the daily routines of millions of
teenagers worldwide. Platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Snapchat provide young people
with the ability to stay connected with their friends, share their daily experiences, and express
themselves in ways that were not possible just a few decades ago. Social media also offers
opportunities for teenagers to showcase their creativity through content creation, whether it be posting
photos, videos, or written content. However, it is important to recognize that it also comes with certain
drawbacks, particularly concerning mental health.
On the positive side, social media has made it easier for teenagers to maintain relationships,
regardless of geographical distance. It allows them to participate in online communities, discuss topics
they are passionate about, and find individuals with similar interests. Furthermore, social media has
emerged as an educational tool, with many teens using it to follow educational influencers or access
online tutorials to enhance their learning.
However, this constant connectivity comes at a cost. The pressure to present a flawless image on
social media has caused many young people to feel inadequate, comparing themselves to the highly
curated, often unrealistic portrayals of others' lives. This comparison culture can lead to anxiety,
depression, and a distorted sense of self-worth. Additionally, excessive use of social media has been
linked to addictive behaviors, negatively affecting mental health and academic performance.
Teenagers may spend hours scrolling through their feeds, neglecting their responsibilities or
losing sleep due to late-night browsing. Over time, this can negatively impact their academic
performance and overall well-being. Despite these challenges, social media remains an integral part of
teenage life, and it is crucial for parents, educators, and teenagers themselves to understand both the
benefits and risks.

B. Social media is essential for all teenagers' education.
C. The pressure to maintain online friendships reduces mental stress.

Question 26. The word "express" in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by______.
A. suppress B. hide C. deny D. communicate
Question 27. The word "this" in paragraph 4 refers to______.
A. Staying up late browsing B. Ignoring responsibilities

purposes?

Additionally, excessive use of social media has been linked to addictive behaviors, negatively
affecting mental health and academic performance
A. Excessive use of social media can result in addiction, but it does not affect academic
performance.
B. Spending too much time on social media can lead to addiction, harming both mental health and
school performance.
C. Social media addiction has been shown to improve academic performance despite its negative
impact on mental health.
D. Using social media too much only affects mental health, with no link to academic performance.

*Read the following passage about Global Efforts in Ecosystem Protection and Conservation and
mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the
following questions.
Governments around the world are taking steps to protect ecosystems from the harmful effects of
climate change. Many countries have implemented policies to reduce carbon emissions and protect
biodiversity. For example, the government of Costa Rica has made significant efforts to protect its
rainforests, which are home to a rich diversity of plant and animal species. Costa Rica has also
invested in renewable energy, aiming to reduce its carbon footprint.
In addition to these efforts, some governments have introduced new methods to conserve marine
ecosystems. One notable example is the establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs), where fishing
and other human activities are restricted. These areas help protect coral reefs and other vulnerable
marine habitats. The Australian government, for instance, has set up the Great Barrier Reef Marine
Park Authority to manage the world's largest coral reef system.
Technology is also playing a role in conservation efforts. Drones are now used to monitor wildlife
populations and track environmental changes in remote areas. Governments in countries like Kenya
and India are using drones to protect endangered species such as rhinos and tigers from poaching.
These technological innovations allow authorities to collect real-time data and respond more effectively
to conservation challenges.
While these methods are promising, experts warn that more needs to be done to combat the global
environmental crisis. Governments must work together to address issues like deforestation and
pollution. Ultimately, the success of these efforts depends on continued investment in both traditional
and innovative conservation techniques.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
best answer to each of the following questions.

In today's rapidly evolving world, the social ecosystem plays a pivotal role in shaping future
generations. This intricate network of relationships, institutions, and cultural norms forms the
foundation upon which societies build their future. From families and schools to community
organizations and digital platforms, each component contributes uniquely to the development of
individuals and social progress. The harmonious interaction between these elements is essential for
creating a sustainable society.
 Education stands as a cornerstone in nurturing tomorrow's society, extending far beyond traditional
classroom learning. Modern educational approaches emphasize not only academic excellence but also
emotional intelligence and social skills. These institutions serve as laboratories where young minds
learn to collaborate, innovate, and develop critical thinking abilities. Furthermore, they provide safe
spaces for students to explore their potential and understand their role in the broader social context,
while teachers guide them through this journey of discovery.
The digital revolution has transformed how we connect and interact within our social ecosystem.
Social media platforms and online communities have created unprecedented opportunities for global
collaboration and knowledge sharing. However, this digital integration also presents challenges, such as
maintaining authentic human connections and managing screen time effectively. Progressive societies
must strike a balance between leveraging technology's benefits and preserving traditional social bonds
that foster empathy.
Community engagement and civic responsibility represent crucial elements in building a
resilient social fabric. Local initiatives, volunteer programs, and grassroots movements demonstrate
the power of collective action in addressing social challenges. These activities not only strengthen
community bonds but also instill a sense of belonging and purpose among participants. By encouraging
active citizenship and social responsibility, communities can create sustainable solutions while
promoting inclusive growth and development.

TRUE-FALSE MULTIPLE CHOICE

What is an ecosystem?

An ecosystem is an area where living things, such as plants and animals, as well as non-living things,
like weather and landscapes, work together to provide suitable living conditions. As living and non-living things
depend on one another, any change to a member of the ecosystem may lead to changes to other elements. This
also means that damage to one part of the ecosystem will lead to serious consequences for other parts.

While large national parks or nature reserves often come to mind when people think of an ecosystem, an
ecosystem (and even ecosystems) could be found in very small areas, such as a garden or a pond. In a pond, for
instance, animals such as frogs and fish live together with water plants, and depend on each other as well as on
the water, humidity, and temperature to survive and grow. Large areas where different ecosystems can be found
are called biomes. Examples of biomes include oceans, rainforests, and deserts.

Since our appearance on Earth, we have interacted with as well as depended on different ecosystems.
However, we have also taken over many ecosystems and destroyed many of them. For example, many of the
Amazon rainforests have been cut down, leading to loss of balance in the ecosystem. As we are part of the
ecosystem, we also suffer from the damage we are causing to it. For instance, …
