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 23 to 30.
These days, digital technology is a major part of everyday life for all of us, and we use it for almost everything,
from work to school and entertainment. Therefore, with everyone spending so much time connected to the
Internet and using digital devices, it's important that we all understand how to be responsible digital citizens in
the modern world. But what exactly does that mean?
A responsible digital citizen is someone who uses technology in a sensible way and encourages others to
do the same. They are careful about their online behaviour and always try to be as polite as possible, which helps
others to avoid having negative experiences online. Responsible digital citizens respect other people's privacy,
too. They don't post pictures of others or discuss people's personal lives without their permission because that
could harm their online security. In this way, digital citizens help others to feel safer and more comfortable in the
digital world.
Responsible digital citizens are also aware of the potential risks of being online. They understand
that there are fake websites and online scams which try to access people's personal information to hack into their
social media accounts or even bank accounts. When a digital citizen encounters one of these online scams, they
should report it to the cyber police to stop this behaviour from happening. By doing this, digital citizens play an
important role in making the Internet a safer place for all users.
While many of us know how to use digital technology safely these days, we should remember that there are
many other people who are still at risk. By being responsible digital citizens, we can help everyone gain the
benefits of the digital world without putting themselves or others at risk.

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 31 to 40.
[I] Around the world, coffee is grown by about 25 million farmworkers on about 27 million acres of land.
[II] Just in Brazil, the world's largest coffee grower, almost 6.2 billion pounds of coffee are grown each year. In
Việt Nam, coffee exports reached approximately 1.78 million tonnes in 2022 alone.
[III] Every year, people drink more than 500 billion cups. Businesses in the United States spend about $5.5
billion to bring coffee into the country, and make more than $12 billion by selling it. Coffee is big business.
[IV]
Unfortunately, climate change could be a big threat to this business and the people who depend on it. To
grow good coffee, the weather must be just right. If it is too hot or too cold, or if there is too much or too little
rain, the plants might die or the coffee beans might be of poor quality. Climate change is making the world hotter
and changing where and how much rain falls. Many regions that have perfect weather for growing coffee
now will not be good places to grow coffee in the future. In Brazil, for example, more than half of good
coffee land will not be usable by the year 2050.
Even worse, an insect called the coffee berry borer beetle, which likes to eat coffee beans, also loves hotter
weather. This means that as the climate changes, there will be more of these insects living in more places and
more coffee plants will be in jeopardy. In addition, diseases such as coffee rust (a disease that causes the tree
to lose its ability to produce berries/beans) become more common when the weather is hotter and wetter.
Coffee is the favorite drink of people all over the world. Unless humans collaborate to stop climate change
and protect coffee, it could become part of our history, not our future.
