Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word or
phrase that best fits each the numbered blanks.
“One month on since the devastating earthquake hit Türkiye and Syria, the scale of the
humanitarian response has yet to meet the enormous needs of displaced Syrian families and
children ________ have suffered from compounded crises for almost 12 years now,” said Johan
Mooij, director of World Vision’s Syria crisis response. “It is crucial that _________ access
channels to northwest Syria remain open, and that aid deliveries are scaled up through earmarked
funding for the emergency response. Only this will ensure that children’s mental health needs are
covered, and their trauma addressed.”
Snow and bitter winter weather have placed children at great risk of hypothermia ________ they
struggle to survive in sub-zero temperatures. Many survivors have had to sleep in cars, outside, or
in makeshift shelters. Doctors ________ that children are also at risk of exposure to waterborne
diseases such as cholera or Hepatitis A due to the damage to shelters and water infrastructure.
These children are now even more vulnerable to family separation, exploitation, and abuse. As
buildings are deemed unsafe, they also are unable to return to school.
“In northern Syria, in particular, the threats to children from abuse were already extreme. The
soaring poverty, within a warzone, now devastated by earthquakes, has created an unimaginable
number of challenges, and suffering for children,” says Johan, director of the Syria crisis response
in Amman, Jordan. “This earthquake has created the perfect environment for a health crisis -fueled
by reduced healthcare capacity and disease ________.”

correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
If the salinity of ocean waters is analyzed, it is found to vary only slightly from place to place.
Nevertheless, some of these small changes are important. There are three basic processes that cause
a change in oceanic salinity. One of these is the subtraction of water from the ocean by means of
evaporation - conversion of liquid water to water vapor. In this manner, the salinity is increased,
since the salts stay behind. If this is carried to the extreme, of course, white crystals of salt would be
left behind.
The opposite of evaporation is precipitation, such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean.
Here the ocean is being diluted so that the salinity is decreased. This may occur in areas of high
rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean. Thus salinity may be increased by the
subtraction of water by evaporation, or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation or
runoff.
Normally, in tropical regions where the sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher
than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation. Similarly, in coastal
regions where rivers dilute the sea, salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas.
A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated with the formation and melting of
sea ice. When seawater is frozen, the dissolved materials are left behind. In this manner, seawater
directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. Of
course, when this ice melts, it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water.
Câu 13: The word “this” in paragraph 1 refers to ……………...
A. crystal B. ocean C. evaporation D. salinity
Câu 14: The word “altered” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ……………...
A. determined B. changed C. accumulated D. needed
Câu 15: According to the passage, the ocean generally has more salt in ……………..
A. turbulent areas B. coastal areas C. rainy areas D. tropical areas
Câu 16: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The bodies of water of the world
B. The salinity of ocean water
C. The many forms of ocean life
D. The elements of salt
Câu 17: Which of the following is a result of the formation of ocean ice?
A. The water salinity decreases.
B. There is more precipitation.
C. The water salinity increases.

 D. The water salinity remains unchanged.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the
question.
Many people see large urban cities as a wonder of human imagination and creativity. They represent
how far the human population has come in terms of community development. Many positive things
come from urbanization, but there are also negatives. This article will discuss and present data on
the implications of urbanization on the physical health of humans living in these large urban areas.
As it would be expected, developing countries tend to see more negative physical health effects than
modern countries in regard to urbanization. One example of a developing country experiencing
these problems is China. China is a country that in the past 30–40 years went from being an
agrarian based society to a significant industrialized country. This industrialization has in effect
caused the need for more centralized cities, centralized meaning having lots of jobs and living
spaces within a close proximity. This is what is known as urbanization. In most recent decades,
since China’s change to being more of an industrial based economy, the country has experienced
record high numbers of people migrating within its borders. In effect, the number of cities with over
500,000 people has more than doubled. These migrations are typically of people from rural areas of
China moving to the new urban areas. Due to this large influx in the urban population, there are
many possibilities for health challenges among these people.
One very common and fairly obvious negative aspect of highly congested urban areas is air
pollution. Air pollution is defined as any harmful substance being suspended in the air. This could
include particulate matter, most commonly attributed to industrial plants and refineries waste, or
chemicals like CO2 or Methane (which are also products of plants and refineries as well as cars and
other modes of transportation). Due to a vast number of people in these urbanized cities, the air
pollution is known to be very extreme. These conditions can lead to many different health problems
such as: Asthma, cardiovascular problems or disease, and different types of cancer (most commonly
lung cancer). When exposed to these conditions for a prolonged period of time, one can experience
even more detrimental health effects like: the acceleration of aging, loss of lung capacity and
health, being more susceptible to respiratory diseases, and a shortened life span.
Another way that urbanization affects the populations’ health is people’s change in diet. For
instance, urban cities tend to have lots of accessible, quick, and easy to get food. This food is also
more than likely not as high quality as well as contains a large amount of sodium and sugar.
Because this food is so accessible, people tend to eat it more. This increase in consumption of low
quality food can then lead to diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, obesity, or many other health
conditions.
(Adapted from https://medium.com)

Câu 22: Why are urban populations easy to get diseases from food, according to the last
paragraph?

normal.
B. Because of the low quality and the high proportion of sodium and sugar in this food.
C. Because of the change in people’s diet.

shorten.

people in urban cities.
