The Right Jobs for Your Personality Choosing a career is an important decision, (18). To help individuals identify suitable careers, scientists have developed personality tests, which are designed to help people come closer to finding their dream job. Psychologist John Holland, believing that people work best in environments that match their personalities, (19).
2. According to Holland’s theory, individuals may belong to several personality types, each of which is associated with particular preferences and skills. Realistic people prefer practical tasks and often work with tools or machines, (20). Similarly, artists are creative people. They don’t work well with structure and rules; instead, they thrive in environments that allow communication and a free flow of ideas. Some people have social personalities and enjoy helping others through teaching or counseling. Others show enterprising personalities and prefer leading teams or persuading people. (21). Such is the importance of understanding these personality types that individuals can make better career decisions. (22)____. When people develop skills that match their personalities, they are also more likely to achieve long-term satisfaction in their careers. (Adapted from Active Skills For Reading) Question 18.

The Significance of Green Buildings Green buildings are designed to minimise environmental impact and enhance the well-being of occupants. These buildings incorporate sustainable materials, energy-efficient technologies, and water- saving features, making them more environmentally friendly than traditional buildings. Green building practices have gained attention as society increasingly recognises the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving resources, and promoting sustainable living. By adopting these practices, communities can contribute to a cleaner environment and a healthier future. [I] One of the key benefits of green buildings is their energy efficiency. [II] Green buildings often use renewable energy sources, such as solar panels or wind turbines, to power their operations. [III] Additionally, energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems help reduce electricity consumption. By cutting down on energy usage, green buildings reduce both costs and carbon footprints, making them more sustainable in the long run. [IV] Water conservation is another focus of green buildings. These buildings are equipped with water- saving fixtures, such as low-flow faucets and dual-flush toilets, which reduce water consumption significantly. In some cases, green buildings also collect and reuse rainwater for non-potable purposes, such as irrigation and toilet flushing. This approach helps alleviate pressure on local water resources and reduces the environmental impact of water use. Although green buildings offer many advantages, they are often more expensive to construct due to the cost of sustainable materials and advanced technology. However, the long-term savings on energy and water bills can offset these initial costs. In addition, green buildings tend to have higher property values and attract environmentally conscious tenants, which can be advantageous for property owners. As more people become aware of the benefits of green buildings, demand for sustainable construction is expected to rise. Green buildings have the potential to transform the construction industry, reduce environmental impact, and create healthier, more sustainable communities. By embracing these practices, society can help pave the way toward a more sustainable and resilient future. (Adapted from Question 31. The word incorporate in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by ..

ĐỀ SỐ 3 SỞ GIÁO DỤC VÀ ĐÀO TẠO KỲ THI THỬ TỐT NGHIỆP THPT NĂM 2026 NINH BÌNH MÔN: TIẾNG ANH LẦN 3 Thời gian làm bài: ..... phút (Không kể thời gian giao đề) 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 from 1 to 10. A substantial share of the global workforce may need to move into new occupations within the next decade, while all workers will have to update their skills in response to rapid technological change. Automation, often linked to embodied artificial intelligence (AI), is only one aspect of this transformation; equally important are algorithmic systems built into digital infrastructures. (I). This is especially visible in the knowledge economy, where data-driven roles are increasingly shaped by algorithms that can carry out tasks once dependent on human judgement, including analysing documents, interpreting complex data, and generating strategic insights with greater accuracy. While such systems can optimise efficiency, curtail operational costs, and facilitate ostensibly objective decision-making, they simultaneously engender profound challenges for professional development. Traditional ways of gaining expertise, based on observation, apprenticeship, and gradual involvement, may weaken as routine cognitive tasks become automated. This raises important questions about how advanced skills will be developed without continuous human guidance, making it necessary to design new approaches to training and intellectual growth. (II) Another concern is the growing role of algorithmic management within organisations. In some cases, algorithms determine the nature and timing of employee interactions, replacing forms of judgement that were previously based on experience. As key knowledge becomes embedded in these systems, workers may become too dependent on algorithmic outputs, which could limit creativity and reduce willingness to explore new ideas. (III). Moreover, instances of data manipulation to satisfy performance metrics underscore the unintended ramifications and ethical ambiguities inherent in algorithm-driven management structures. Looking ahead, the future of work is likely to involve flexible and non-linear career paths, marked by continuous reskilling and regular transitions rather than a fixed progression from education to retirement. (IV). This shift in career patterns suggests that long-term job stability can no longer be taken for granted. Instead, retraining happens across the life course, and multiple jobs and no job happen by choice at different stages. Importantly, employment outcomes are influenced not only by technology but also by policies and institutional decisions. Historical precedents suggest that judiciously designed social policies encompassing retraining initiatives and legislative reform can ameliorate disruption while fostering job security, equitable income distribution, and a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

While organisations adopt algorithmic systems to enhance performance, they continue to rely on traditional training methods to ensure workers gain necessary expertise. B. Algorithmic systems mainly benefit organisations by lowering costs and improving decision-making while having only a limited impact on how workers develop their skills. C. While algorithmic systems improve efficiency and reduce costs, they also challenge traditional skill development and require new approaches to professional training. D. As algorithmic systems replace routine tasks, workers no longer need traditional forms of training and can rely on technology to develop advanced skills. Question 6. The word “embedded” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to: A. artificially created B. temporarily hidden C. loosely connected D. deeply integrated Question 7. Which of the following can be logically inferred from the passage? A. The widespread adoption of algorithmic systems will eliminate the necessity for human judgement in most fields.
9. B. Workers should rely entirely on algorithmic outputs to foster their own creative thinking and innovation in the workplace. C. Algorithmic management ensures that employees are empowered to make more flexible, independent decisions at work. D. Conventional ways to build expertise may gradually erode as automation takes over routine cognitive tasks. Question 8. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A. Employment outcomes are mainly determined by technological progress rather than by policy or institutional influence. B. Policies and institutions have a greater impact on employment outcomes than technological innovation does. C. Employment results are shaped by both technological developments and the policies and institutions that regulate them. D.

Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed that run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero- emission option presently available. Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transportation experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighbourhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes, and trolleys. As automakers work to develop practical electric vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to facilitate and make the best use of the new cars. The dissemination of public charging hubs must reach a saturation point comparable to that of today’s fossil-fuel distribution networks. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they shop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars. Planners foresee that electric shuttle buses, trains, buses, and neighbourhood vehicles will converge at transport centres equipped with charging and rental services. Commuters will be able to hire a variety of electric vehicles suited to their specific needs, including light trucks, single-passenger three-wheelers, small cars, or hybrid vehicles for longer journeys. Such journeys are likely to take place on advanced, automated
