answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.

Lee Kuan Yew was appointed as the first prime minister of Singapore in 1959 when the nation became

one of the self-governing states. At that time, Singapore per capita income was only about USD 400. When

Lee retired in 1990, the figure was USD 11,000 and in 2014 it went up to over 56,000 even higher than that of

its former colonizer, Great Britain. In his impassioned speeches and his famous memoirs, he said “there were

also some probable opponents and they laughed at us, but I was confident that we would have the last laugh.”

Born into a middle-class Chinese family in Singapore, Lee was influenced by the language and

institutions of the British rulers. He was destined to go to the UK to study law, but the Second World War

broke out and he had to go to the local Raffles College where he learnt some economics. It was not until 1946

when he talked his way to Cambridge and graduated three years later with a starred first. It was during this

time that he nurtured ambitions beyond starting a legal career back home.

As a prime minister, he has always been described as an efficient and inventive person. He was one of

the greatest statesmen who proved to the whole world that human ingenuity, not natural resources, is the

essential element of prosperity. Lee is also believed to be very forward-looking. When Singapore gained

independence in 1965, he decided to keep English as the main language to increase economic benefits.

Although many of his policies are still considered controversial, they helped Singapore to overcome many

obstacles and become one of the most admired international business and financial centers around the world.

(Adapted from Sach Bai Tap Tieng Anh 12 by Hoang Van Van)

Question 41: According to the text, Lee Kuan Yew's policies_________.

A. were in conflict with the public

B. transformed Singapore into a wealth city

C. promoted people’s solidarity and health

D. related to business and finance

Question 42: The word forward-looking in paragraph 3 mostly means _______.

A. conservative

B. developing

C. absent-minded

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.

Chat GPT is a language model developed by Open AI that uses deep learning techniques to generate

human-like

responses

to

text-based

prompts

or

questions.

GPT

stands

for

"Generative

Pre-trained

Transformer”. The GPT model is capable of generating coherent and contextually relevant responses to a wide

range of prompts, making it useful for a variety of applications, such as chatbots, language translation, and

content creation. Chat GPT gets its information from a vast corpus of text data that has been preprocessed and

used to train the model. This corpus includes a diverse range of sources, such as books, articles, web pages,

and other forms of text-based content that are available on the Internet.

However, the responses it generates can incorporate knowledge and information that it has learned

from this training data. People wonder if this tool will eliminate the majority of jobs and put a huge majority

of them out of work. The development of advanced language models like Chat GPT has led to concerns that

they could replace human workers and lead to job losses. While it is true that these models are capable of

automating certain tasks that were previously performed by humans, they are not necessarily designed to

replace human workers. Instead, language models like Chat GPT are often used to increase human labor,

enabling workers to be more productive and efficient in their roles. For example, they can be used to assist

customer service representatives by answering common questions, freeing up their time to focus on more

complex issues. They can also be used to improve the accuracy and efficiency of translation services or to

generate content for news articles, social media posts, and other forms of written content.

In some cases, the development of language models may lead to the displacement of certain jobs, but

they also offer new opportunities in fields such as machine learning, data science, and artificial intelligence. It

is important to consider the potential impacts of these technologies on the job market and to take steps to

ensure that workers are trained and equipped to adapt to these changes. Ultimately, the impact of language

models like Chat GPT on the job market will depend on how they are implemented and used in various

industries and sectors.

Question 44: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. A Definition of Chat GPT

answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50.

Lee Kuan Yew was appointed as the first prime minister of Singapore in 1959 when the nation became

one of the self-governing states. At that time, Singapore per capita income was only about USD 400. When

Lee retired in 1990, the figure was USD 11,000 and in 2014 it went up to over 56,000 even higher than that of

its former colonizer, Great Britain. In his impassioned speeches and his famous memoirs, he said “there

were

also some probable opponents and they laughed at us, but I was confident that we would have the last laugh.”

Born into a middle-class Chinese family in Singapore, Lee was influenced by the language and

institutions of the British rulers. He was destined to go to the UK to study law, but the Second World War

broke out and he had to go to the local Raffles College where he learnt some economics. It was not until 1946

when he talked his way to Cambridge and graduated three years later with a starred first. It was during this

time that he nurtured ambitions beyond starting a legal career back home.

As a prime minister, he has always been described as an efficient and inventive person. He was one of

the greatest statesmen who proved to the whole world that human ingenuity, not natural resources, is the

essential element of prosperity. Lee is also believed to be very forward-looking. When Singapore gained

independence in 1965, he decided to keep English as the main language to increase economic benefits.

Although many of his policies are still considered controversial, they helped Singapore to overcome many

obstacles and become one of the most admired international business and financial centers around the world.

Chat GPT is a language model developed by Open AI that uses deep learning techniques to generate

human-like

responses

to

text-based

prompts

or

questions.

GPT

stands

for

"Generative

Pre-trained

Transformer,". The GPT model is capable of generating coherent and contextually relevant responses to a

wide range of prompts, making it useful for a variety of applications, such as chatbots, language translation,

and content creation. Chat GPT gets its information from a vast corpus of text data that has been preprocessed

and used to train the model. This corpus includes a diverse range of sources, such as books, articles, web

pages, and other forms of text-based content that are available on the Internet.

However, the responses it generates can incorporate knowledge and information that it has learned

from this training data. People wonder if this tool will eliminate the majority of jobs and put a huge majority

of them out of work. The development of advanced language models like Chat GPT has led to concerns that

they could replace human workers and lead to job losses. While it is true that these models are capable of

automating certain tasks that were previously performed by humans, they are not necessarily designed to

replace human workers. Instead, language models like Chat GPT are often used to increase human labor,

enabling workers to be more productive and efficient in their roles. For example, they can be used to assist

customer service representatives by answering common questions, freeing up their time to focus on more

complex issues. They can also be used to improve the accuracy and efficiency of translation services or to

generate content for news articles, social media posts, and other forms of written content.

In some cases, the development of language models may lead to the displacement of certain jobs, but

they also offer new opportunities in fields such as machine learning, data science, and artificial intelligence. It

is important to consider the potential impacts of these technologies on the job market and to take steps to

ensure that workers are trained and equipped to adapt to these changes. Ultimately, the impact of language

models like Chat GPT on the job market will depend on how they are implemented and used in various

industries and sectors.

Lee Kuan Yew was appointed as the first prime minister of Singapore in 1959 when the nation became

one of the self-governing states. At that time, Singapore per capita income was only about USD 400. When

Lee retired in 1990, the figure was USD 11,000 and in 2014 it went up to over 56,000 even higher than that of

its former colonizer, Great Britain. In his impassioned speeches and his famous memoirs, he said “there

were

also some probable opponents and they laughed at us, but I was confident that we would have the last laugh.”

Born into a middle-class Chinese family in Singapore, Lee was influenced by the language and

institutions of the British rulers. He was destined to go to the UK to study law, but the Second World War

broke out and he had to go to the local Raffles College where he learnt some economics. It was not until 1946

when he talked his way to Cambridge and graduated three years later with a starred first. It was during this

time that he nurtured ambitions beyond starting a legal career back home.

As a prime minister, he has always been described as an efficient and inventive person. He was one of

the greatest statesmen who proved to the whole world that human ingenuity, not natural resources, is the

essential element of prosperity. Lee is also believed to be very forward-looking. When Singapore gained

independence in 1965, he decided to keep English as the main language to increase economic benefits.

Although many of his policies are still considered controversial, they helped Singapore to overcome many

obstacles and become one of the most admired international business and financial centers around the world.
