ĐỀ 1

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 1 to 8.
For many years, scientists have been arguing about global warming. While they don't all agree about
what this might mean for Planet Earth, many think it is going on - and that we can do something about it. We
need a few more years to gather facts before anyone can say for sure. But people need to start now to do
things to stop it.
There are many types of gases in our atmosphere. Some of them absorb the heat from the sun and
control our climate. "Greenhouse gases” are those that hold the heat around the planet's surface. When we
increase the level of these gases, we upset the balance. These extra gases trap even more heat.
Some scientists say global warming has already started to change the environment. The Earth's
temperature has risen one degree Fahrenheit this century. Many scientists believe it could rise from two to
eight degrees Fahrenheit in the next hundred years. This would be the fastest rise in 10,000 years. Sea levels
could rise. Ice sheets could melt and add to the water level. Many places near the coast would be in danger
of flooding.
If the climate changes rapidly and severely, it can cause significant harm to some plants and
animals. They could even die out. Weather could become more violent and extreme. In some places there
would be more forest fires. But in other areas there would be more rain and snow, storms and floods.

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 20 to 29.
[I] The authors noted that while other forms of pollution are decreasing, noise pollution has been
increasing. [II] This conclusion is reinforced by the fact that there has been an increase in the number of
people who have been complaining about excessive noise in the WHO region. [III] Populations that are
exposed to high noise levels can be afflicted by other symptoms such as: stress reactions, sleep-stage
changes, and clinical symptoms like hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. [IV] All these impacts can
contribute to premature mortality.
It is important to note that these adverse health problems impact all age groups including children and
adolescents. In fact, it has been reported that children who live and or study in an area afflicted with noise
pollution tend to suffer from stress, impairments in memory and attention as well as difficulty reading. “In
Western Europe, the guidelines say, traffic noise results in an annual loss of at least one million healthy years”.
Traffic noise is currently ranked second among environmental threats to public health.
The danger of noise pollution is more present to us when we are asleep. Because the human ear is so
sensitive, it never rests, it is always working, picking up and transmitting sounds for our brains to interpret.
This always on working process is where the danger lies, though you may be sleeping, sounds are still being
picked up and processed.
The most common side effects of this phenomenon are sleep disturbance and tiredness, impaired
memory, judgment, and psychomotor skills. The other more serious outcomes of this can be the triggering of
the body’s acute stress response, which raises blood pressure and heart rate as the body and brain go into a
state of hyperarousal. According to the European Environment Agency, at least 10,000 cases of premature
deaths from noise exposure occur each year, although incomplete data mean this number is significantly
underestimated.

Read the following passage about great jobs and mark the letter A, B, C, or to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Some people love working so much that it doesn't feel like work. But most people are not so lucky.
They need money to live, so they need a job. However, they don't love their work, and they feel unhappy.
And because they are unhappy, they may not work hard. Luckily, some people and companies are trying to
improve things.
Dan Price is the CEO of a company based in Seattle. In 2015, he raised the salaries of all of his
workers to $70,000 a year, much higher than the average income in the United States. To pay for this, he
cut his own salary to the same amount. Interestingly, according to a study by Princeton University in 2010
about salaries, people who make around $75,000 each year are happier and feel more satisfaction than
those who make less or more money. Since Price made his decision, his workers have been happier and his
company has been more thriving.
 Money is one reason why some workers are unhappy with their jobs. Another reason is working too
many hours. Perpetual Guardian, a company based in New Zealand, wanted staff to have a better work- life
balance. The company came up with a plan. Its staff were paid for five days, but they only had to work
four days each week. Not surprisingly, workers were happier and more satisfied.
Many studies show that people who do things are happier than people who buy things. For
example, going on a road trip or learning to play the guitar is better than buying a car or guitar. The
famous company Airbnb wants its staff to have great experiences. Workers get $2,000 each year to stay at
Airbnb properties anywhere in the world. As a result, many people who work at Airbnb love their jobs.
Question 23. What is implied in paragraph 1?
A. The number of people who cannot find joy in their work is low.

Question 26. The word they in paragraph 3 refers to .
A. days B. jobs C. hours D. staff
Question 27. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Research suggests that people who engage in experiences tend to be happier than those who purchase
material goods.
B. Many studies indicate that individuals who own too many items feel lower happiness than those who
focus on items themselves.
C. Studies show that people who prioritise buying goods report higher happiness levels than those who do
activities.
D. Research claims that spending money on experiences leads to greater satisfaction than spending it on
buying items.

A. Employees at Perpetual Guardian previously had a very poor work-life balance.
B. Workers at Airbnb can stay at Airbnb properties with a small annual fee.
C. There has been a rise of $70,000 in the annual salaries of Dan Price’s staff.

Read the following passage about media in the past and mark the letter A, B, C, or to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
The printed newspaper in the 17th century marked a turning point in the dissemination of news and the
formation of public opinion. Then, the 19th century witnessed the creation of photography, which
profoundly modified how we consume information. The two great inventions laid the foundation for
today's media landscape.
Photographs had a huge impact on newspapers. The articles accompanied by visual representations of
events added a level of realism that words alone couldn't achieve. Illustrated by photos, books featuring
difficult topics helped people learn more effectively, and newspaper articles became more understandable
to different kinds of readers. Important images captured social movements, wars and historical moments,
influencing the public perception and, at times, even the course of history. Moreover, photos significantly
increased the emotional impact of news coverage on readers and helped create powerful reactions from
them.
[I] Newspapers and photojournalism have a lasting impact globally, even beyond traditional print.
[II] Thanks to the fast development of the Internet, images and videos have become powerful tools to
grab attention and tell stories around the world in digital and social media. [III] In other words, words
together with photos have been utilised to help people not only understand different messages but also
encourage them to take action on certain topics. [IV]
The seeds of today's media were sown centuries ago when newspapers started as the first means of mass
communication to the public, and photography added persuasive visual elements. By understanding the
past creations, we can have valuable insights into how the modern media landscape functions.

Question 31. The word dissemination in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to .

A. spread B. popularity C. notoriety D. restriction
Question 32. According to paragraph 1, the printed newspaper and photography .
A. only brought about unprecedented changes in the world of media in the past

C. were unexpected inventions in history that have minimal impacts nowadays
D. completely altered the way readers were fed by news from unreliable sources
Question 33. The word them in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. readers B. photos C. reactions D. moments
Question 34. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?
A. Photos in newspapers increased realism and offered valuable insights, but they often overshadowed
complex issues with visuals.
B. Visuals in newspapers enhanced entertainment, focusing more on appeal than on historical and social
awareness.
C. Photographs in newspapers added realism, improved understanding of complex topics, and stirred
strong emotional reactions.

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 12 to 19.
In a world increasingly shaped by technological advancement, the concept of a "career path" has
evolved dramatically. Traditionally, a career path was seen as a linear progression within a single industry or
profession. Today, however, it is often nonlinear and characterized by multiple shifts across fields. This shift
has been driven by globalization, automation, and the rise of the gig economy. For instance, a professional
may start as an engineer, transition into data analysis, and later become a consultant.
One of the key challenges of navigating modern career paths is dealing with uncertainty. Unlike in the
past, when long-term employment in one organization was common, today’s workforce must be prepared to
continually upskill and reskill to increase their adaptability. According to a report by the World Economic
Forum, nearly half of all employees will need significant retraining by 2030 due to advancements in
artificial intelligence and automation. This has given rise to the concept of "lifelong learning," where
individuals proactively pursue education and training throughout their lives.
Another emerging trend is the emphasis on purpose-driven careers. Younger generations, particularly
millennials and Gen Z, increasingly prioritize roles that align with their values and contribute to
societal or environmental change. For example, careers in renewable energy, non-profit organizations, and
social entrepreneurship are gaining popularity. However, chasing a meaningful goal often requires sacrifices,
such as accepting lower starting salaries or taking non-traditional career paths.
Despite the challenges, modern career paths offer unparalleled opportunities for personal and
professional growth. With the right attitude and resources, people can build careers that are rewarding and
flexible in a fast-changing world.

[I] Cultural diversity has long been a defining trait of human societies, and in recent years, the world has
witnessed a significant surge in cultural exchanges. [II] Various factors, including globalization, migration,
and technological innovations, have facilitated this intensifying interconnection among cultures. [III]
Experts anticipate that by 2050, the global cultural landscape will be even more closely connected than it is
today. [IV] This rapid cultural exchange offers great benefits but also presents significant challenges for
societies worldwide.
A primary driver of cultural exchange is the increasing prevalence of migration. As individuals relocate
across national borders in pursuit of enhanced career prospects, education, or a more secure environment,
they inevitably transport their cultural customs, languages, and values. This often leads to the blending of
different cultural practices, enriching the social life of the host country. Furthermore, advancements in
communication technologies have revolutionized the way people disseminate and celebrate cultural
distinctions. The internet, social media platforms, and accessible global travel enable individuals to
immerse themselves in cultures from distant corners of the world without necessitating physical relocation.
However, cultural exchange is not without its complexities. Interactions between individuals from
different cultural backgrounds can sometimes give rise to misunderstandings or value-based conflicts. For
example, certain cultural practices may be at odds with local norms, resulting in social conflict.
Additionally, the widespread dissemination of globalized culture, particularly Western culture, often
threatens to overlook or replace indigenous traditions and heritage, leading to the erosion of unique cultural
identities.

Despite these impediments, cultural exchange remains an invaluable mechanism for fostering
mutual comprehension and respect among diverse communities. To ensure that cultural diversity thrives
while minimizing conflict, it is essential for societies to develop inclusive policies that both honor and
celebrate differences, while promoting constructive dialogue and integration. By cultivating cultural
awareness and tolerance, communities can harness the wealth of diverse traditions and perspectives,
ultimately creating a more harmonious and enriched global society.

B. People migrate primarily to escape conflict, and technology helps them maintain their original cultural
practices.
C. Technological advancements are the sole factor in increasing cultural exchange, without the need for
migration.
D. While migration promotes the blending of cultures, technology has no role to play in the facilitation of
cultural exchange.
Question 31. The word " dissemination " in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by .
A. limit B. end C. control D. spread

obstacles it faces.
C. Because of its challenges, cultural exchange is not an effective means of fostering understanding and
respect between different communities.

identity.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that
best fits each of the numbered blanks.
Urbanization refers to the process through which cities grow and expand as more people move from
rural to urban areas. This phenomenon is driven by various factors, including economic opportunities,
educational facilities, and healthcare services, which often attract individuals seeking better living standards.
As cities become more populated, they undergo significant transformations in infrastructure, including
housing, transportation, and public services.
The rise in urban populations can lead to both positive and negative outcomes. On the positive side,
urbanization can stimulate economic development, innovation, and cultural exchange. It often brings
improvements in living standards and provides better access to services and amenities. However, rapid urban
growth can also strain existing infrastructure, leading to issues such as overcrowding, pollution, and
inadequate public services. These challenges can impact the quality of life in urban areas and require careful
planning and management.
Effective urban planning is crucial to mitigating the negative effects of urbanization. This
includes creating sustainable infrastructure, managing resources efficiently, and ensuring equitable access to
services for all residents. By addressing these challenges, cities can harness the benefits of urbanization while
improving the overall quality of urban life.

environmentally friendly practices in their daily lives. [II] This lifestyle includes reducing waste, conserving
natural resources, and promoting eco-friendly habits, which collectively help to minimize the negative
impact on the environment (Davies & Mulligan, 2017). [III] Although green living requires effort and
adjustment, its benefits for the planet and future generations are substantial. [IV]
One of the fundamental aspects of green living is waste reduction. This can be achieved through
practices like recycling, composting, and reducing single-use plastics. According to a report by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), recycling and composting can significantly decrease the amount
of waste sent to landfills, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollution (EPA, 2021).
Additionally, adopting reusable items such as water bottles and shopping bags minimizes reliance on plastic,
which is crucial for protecting ecosystems and wildlife.
Another key component of green living is energy conservation. Simple changes, like switching to
LED light bulbs and using public transportation, can reduce an individual's carbon footprint. A study by the
International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that energy efficiency improvements, if widely implemented,
could decrease global energy demand by up to 40% by 2050 (IEA, 2019). By conserving energy, individuals
not only lower their utility bills but also contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions, which is essential
for mitigating climate change.
Green living also involves making conscious choices about the products we consume. This includes
opting for sustainably sourced goods, supporting local businesses, and choosing organic produce. Sustainable
agriculture practices reduce the need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers, which can harm both the soil
and water sources (Smith & Taylor, 2020). By making informed purchases, consumers can support eco-
friendly industries and help create a demand for greener alternatives.

answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Wildlife conservation is a crucial endeavor that aims to protect animal species and their habitats.
This effort is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ensuring the health of our ecosystems. Human
activities such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change are some of the primary threats to wildlife.
Conservation initiatives strive to mitigate these impacts through various strategies.
One significant aspect of wildlife conservation is the establishment of protected areas. National
parks, wildlife reserves, and marine protected areas are created to provide safe havens for endangered
species. These areas not only protect wildlife but also offer opportunities for scientific research and eco-
tourism, which can benefit local economies.
Another important approach is the reintroduction of species into their natural habitats. This method has
been successful in bringing several species back from the brink of extinction. Conservationists carefully
monitor and support these reintroduced populations to ensure their survival.
Education and awareness campaigns play a pivotal role in wildlife conservation as well. By
educating the public about the importance of biodiversity and the threats facing wildlife, these campaigns
foster a sense of responsibility and encourage community involvement in conservation efforts.

Read the following passage about wildlife 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 from 31 to 40.
[I] Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time, affecting ecosystems,
biodiversity, and human communities across the globe. [II] Scientists warn that unless greenhouse gas
emissions are significantly reduced, the Earth's climate may experience irreversible damage. [III] The
consequences of climate change are widespread, impacting weather patterns, agricultural productivity, and
health conditions worldwide. [IV]
One of the primary causes of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas,
which releases large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. This gas traps heat, leading to a
rise in global temperatures, a phenomenon known as global warming. Another major contributor is
deforestation, as trees play a critical role in absorbing CO2. When forests are destroyed, that CO2 is
released, adding to the atmosphere's greenhouse effect.
The impacts of climate change are already evident in various forms. Rising sea levels are causing
coastal erosion and increasing the frequency of flooding, which endangers millions living in low-lying areas.
Additionally, extreme weather events like hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves are becoming more common
and severe. These events not only damage infrastructure but also pose serious risks to human health and food
security.
Addressing climate change requires a collaborative, global response. Many governments have
joined international agreements, like the Paris Agreement, aiming to limit global temperature rise and reduce
emissions. However, it is crucial for individuals and businesses to also play a part by reducing their carbon
footprint through actions such as conserving energy, reducing waste, and supporting renewable energy
sources.

[I] In today's interconnected society, multiculturalism has become a defining feature of many
countries. [II] It refers to the coexistence of diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious groups within a
community. [II] This diversity enriches societies, fostering creativity, innovation, and global understanding.
[IV] However, living in a multicultural world also presents challenges, such as the need to balance cultural
preservation with social integration.
One significant advantage of multiculturalism is the opportunity for cultural exchange. People from
different backgrounds can share traditions, cuisine, art, and perspectives, broadening their understanding of
the world. For example, international festivals and food markets often showcase the vibrant diversity of a
community, promoting appreciation and respect for different cultures. Such exchanges contribute to a richer,
more inclusive society.
However, multiculturalism also requires individuals and societies to navigate potential challenges.
Misunderstandings, cultural clashes, and prejudice can arise in multicultural settings. For instance, differing
values or customs might lead to tensions or conflicts. To address these issues, education and dialogue are
essential to resolving cultural misunderstandings. Schools and workplaces can play a critical role by
fostering inclusivity and teaching cultural awareness.

Multiculturalism also brings economic benefits. Diverse teams in workplaces often bring unique
skills and perspectives, leading to increased creativity and problem-solving abilities. Moreover, tourism
thrives in multicultural areas, as visitors are drawn to the rich tapestry of cultures and traditions.
Living in a multicultural world teaches us that diversity is not something to fear but to celebrate. By
embracing and learning from our differences, we can build stronger, more harmonious communities. While
challenges exist, the benefits of multiculturalism far outweigh the difficulties, making it a vital component
of a thriving modern society.
