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 39 to 43.
As customers choose brands based on how they make them feel, rather than their actual products or services,


there is an intrinsic advantage to those organizations who use designed experiences as a weapon to cut
through the most competitive of markets. Those that don’t, operate in what we call the “experience gap”, the
space between them and their customer’s expectation of them. Make no mistake, in our high paced and
digitally connected economies, the experience gap is driving markets, fast.
For example, take Instagram and Twitter. These brands filled the demand for a whole new human experience
that did not exist before the evolution of digital technologies enabled that. They were pioneers, and there
were no established players to unseat. But we are also seeing a similar dynamic in existing industries. New
entrants are coming in and taking the space, also using whole new experiences, purely because the
incumbents left the door open.
Closer to home, this can be seen with Australian neobanks who are giving customers a better experience than
the incumbents. Robert Bell is the CEO at neobank 86400. He says banking has already become quite
complicated and he wanted to make a change. His neobank is working to solve customers’ problems more
holistically. Bell said, “It’s significantly harder work and takes more time to become a bank, but having done
that we can have a much better relationship with our customers and we can offer them a lot more products
and services.”
Think about that for a moment. Do you notice how better experiences, leads to better relationships, which is
then the stepping stone for more offerings? Many brands still jump straight to modified offerings, without
gaining that customer connection and the necessary foundation of trust first.

(source: />39. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The importance of experience to competitive advantage.
B. Businesses are unwilling to disrupt themselves.
C. A far-reaching cultural transformation.
D. Knowledge drives behavior, loyalty, satisfaction.
40. The word “them” in paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. brands

B. customers

C. economies

D. markets

41. According to paragraph 2, what is true about Instagram and Twitter in the stated instance?
A. Their reputation famously preceded even the 4th Industrial Revolution.
B. They are the one and only companies providing such revolutionary services.
C. They were the trailblazers for the experience-oriented marketing strategy.
D. Prior to their advent, there were already several competitors in the field.
42. According to paragraph 3, what is the attitude of Robert Bell towards the customers?
A. He sees them as modern slaves to consumerism.
B. He maintains a healthy relationship of give and take.
C. He displays worship in its purest form towards them.


D. He views them as the golden goose for his business.
43. What does the phrase “stepping stone” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. An asset or possession prized as being the best of a group of similar things.
B. A person who travels without settling down for any significant period of time
C. An important clue to understanding something that is challenging or puzzling.

D. An action or event that helps one to make progress towards a specified goal.
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 44 to 50.
Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen? You're not too far off. A
new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals the surprising ways that technology intersects with teen
friendships—and the results show that 57 percent of teens have made at least one new friend online. Even
more surprisingly, only 20 percent of those digital friends ever meet in person.
While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent of their day
texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends on a daily basis
(outside of school hallways). These new forms of communication are key in maintaining friendships day-today —27 percent of teens instant message their friends every day, 23 percent connect through social media
every day, and 7 percent even video chat daily. Text messaging remains the main form of communication —
almost half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of communication with their closest friend.
While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and maintaining
friendships) in the gaming world—89 percent play with friends they know, and 54 percent play with onlineonly friends. Whether they're close with their teammates or not, online gamers say that playing makes them
feel "more connected" to friends they know, or gamers they've never met.
When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity—62 percent of
teens are quick to share their social media usernames when connecting with a new friend (although 80
percent still consider their phone number the best method of contact). Despite the negative consequences—
21 percent of teenage users feel worse about their lives because of posts they see on social media—teens also
have found support and connection through various platforms. In fact, 68 percent of teens received support
during a challenging time in their lives via social media platforms.
Just as technology has become a gateway for new friendships, or a channel to stay connected with current
friends, it can also make a friendship breakup more public. The study reveals that girls are more likely to
block or unfriend former allies, and 68 percent of all teenage users report experiencing "drama among their
friends on social media."
(Source: />44. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Social media affects friendship too much.
B. Teenagers are making and keeping friends in a surprising way.

C. The difference of making new friends between girls and boys.
D. Social media connects friendship.
45. The word “digital” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.

C. numerous

D. online

46. According to the passage, what percentage of teens spend actual time with their friends?
A. 25%

B. 55%

C. 27%

D. 23%

47. The following sentences are true, EXCEPT ______.
A. According to the survey, more than half of teens have ever made new friends online.
B. Teens only meet face-to-face one fifth of online friends they have made.
C. Most teenagers use video chat to maintain relationship with friends.
D. New forms of communication play an important role in keeping friendships.
48. The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. friends

B. online gamers

C. their teammates

D. online-only friends

49. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Boys are more likely to meet new friends than girls.
B. Most teens are not easy to give others their usernames when making new friends.
C. The majority of teenage users agree that social media has negative consequences in their lives.
D. Thanks to social media, more than two thirds of teens are supported when they face with challenges in
their lives.
50. What is the synonym of the word “breakup” in the last paragraph?
A. termination

B. divorce

C. commencing

D. popularity
