II. 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
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 7. Why are urban populations easy to get diseases from food, according to the last paragraph?
A. Because of the change in people's diet.
B. Because this food is so delicious that people have a tendency to eat more than normal.
C. Because the way people get this food is rather accessible, quick and easy.
D. Because of the low quality and the high proportion of sodium and sugar in this food.
Câu 8. The word "detrimental" in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ___________.
A. negative B. harmful C. beneficial D. damaging
Câu 9. The following are the air pollution sources mentioned in paragraph 3, EXCEPT ___________.
A. chemicals B. industrial factories C. sewage D. refineries waste
Câu 10. What does the phrase "these problems" in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. industrialized countries B. lots of jobs and living spaces
C. negative physical health effects D. immigrants
Câu 11. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. One of the negative health effects comes from the overpopulation in industrialized countries.
B. People in developed countries suffer less harmful health effects from urbanization than those in developing nations.
C. The bad health effects from urbanization are not greater than the benefits it brings to people in urban cities.
D. Living in urban areas for a long time will make the life expectancy of inhabitants lengthen.
Câu 12. The word "congested" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. contaminated B. sparse C. fresh D. overcrowded
Câu 13. Which of the following could be served as the best title for the passage?
A. Urban cities - The new opportunity for community development

IV. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
National parks play a highly valuable role in documenting climate change. Researchers have utilized the vast tracts of
pristine wilderness to collect data on species and habitats. At first, they collected observational data on foot; now, they use
sophisticated methods such as aerial surveillance with drones like those used in Northrop Grumman's Wildlife Challenge to
collect information on polar bears.
Observational longitudinal data collection shows the effects of climate change that impact vegetation and animal species.
The pika is the perfect example of an animal who may need to be relocated from the parks due to climate change, as
described in Smithsonian Magazine. The park service is taking this very seriously. "It is openly discussing the possibility of
"assisted migration": manually relocating some animals and plants if it turns out they can't survive within the park's changing
landscapes."
National Park research also documents glacier retreat, finding that some ice fields have lost as much as 85 percent in the last
five decades, according to U.S. Geological Survey. Glacier Park might be recognizable only as a historical name by 2030, it
projects. It's not just glaciers retreating. The Conversation notes that national park data shows that trees are also affected by
climate change: "Climate change is killing trees due to increased drought, changes in wildfire patterns and increased bark
beetle infestations. Tracking of trees in … national parks has contributed to a database that revealed how climate change has
doubled tree mortality since 1955 across the western United States."
We should not forget that at its inception, the National Parks Service's long-term intention was to protect the parks and
"leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations."

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 following questions.

Today we hear more and more about the importance of getting enough sleep. Sleep can give energy to both our bodies
and our brains. It can also affect our feelings, behaviour, and memory.
Studies have shown that people in some countries spend less time sleeping and more time working. But our bodies
cannot work well without enough sleep. Losing just one or two hours of sleep a night, over a long period of time, can badly
affect our health. We cannot work for many hours; we can get angry easily; and we can even lose our IQ points. That
explains why, without enough sleep, an intelligent person may have difficulty doing daily tasks.
Studies have also shown that the time of year seems to affect how much sleep we need. People usually sleep longer in
the winter, sometimes as much as 14 hours a night. However, in the summer, they sometimes sleep as little as six hours,
without having any problems.

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 following questions.

One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual vocational training programme. Such
programmes offer plenty of opportunities for on-the-job training and work experience. Programmes usually last between two
and three and a half years and comprise theoretical as well as practical elements. You will spend one or two days a week, or
several weeks at once, at a vocational school where you will acquire the theoretical knowledge that you will need in your
future occupation. The rest of the time will be spent at a company. There you get to apply your newly acquired knowledge
in practice, for example by learning to operate machinery. You will get to know what your company does, learn how it
operates, and find out if you can see yourself working there after completing your training.

This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job: by the time you have completed your
training, you will not only have the required technical knowledge, but you will also have hands-on experience in your job.
There are around 350 officially recognised training programmes in Germany, so chances are good that one of them will suit
your interests and talents. You can find out which one that might be by visiting one of the jobs and vocational training fairs
which are organised in many German cities at different times in the year.

Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training programme are very good. This is
one of the reasons why this kind of training is very popular with young Germans: around two thirds of all students leaving
school go on to start a vocational training programme.

Question 29. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?

A. Dual Vocational Training System in Germany

B. Higher Education System in Germany

C. Theory and Practice Combination in Studying in Germany

D. Opportunities and Prospects in Germany

Question 30. The word "occupation” in the first paragraph is CLOSEST in meaning to ______.

A. experience B. chance C. life D. job

Question 31. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as purposes of dual vocational training
programmes ______.

A. interpersonal communication skill B. theoretical knowledge

C. practical working experience D. technical skills

Question 32. The word "hands-on” in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.

A. technical B. theoretical C. experimental D. practical

Question 33. The word "who" in paragraph 3 refers to ______.

A. students B. Germans C. reasons D. prospects

Question 34. How many German school leavers choose this vocational training programme?

A. less than a half B. about 70%

C. well over 75% D. around one out of five

Question 35. Which of the following statements best describes the dual vocational training programmes?

A. These programmes provide you with both theoretical knowledge and practical working experience.

B. These programmes offer you some necessary technical skills to do your future job.

C. These programmes consist of an intensive theoretical course of two and a half year at the vocational school.

D. These programmes require you to have only practical working time at a certain company.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to choose the word or phrase that best
fits each of the numbered blanks.

Despite the wealth of information campaigns telling people about global warming and its causes, (36) ______ people
have yet to realize how severe the problem is. Coming climate changes could alter as much as one third of plant and animal
habitats by the end of the 22nd century. These changes could in turn cause widespread extinctions among plant and animal
species around the globe.

Coastal and island habitats are perhaps in the greatest danger (37) ______ they face the combined threats of warming
oceans and rising sea levels. As habitats change, many animals will come under intense pressure to find more suitable homes
for themselves. Mass (38) ______ of at least some animals are certainly to be expected, but the fact remains that many
animals will simply not be able to move fast enough.

Such dire predictions may sound alarmist, but they are based on the rather moderate estimate that the amount of carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere will double by 2100. Many scientists believe, however, (39) ______ this figure is actually very
conservative, and they claim that a tripling is far more realistic. If they are (40) ______, the effects on nature will be even
more dramatic.

Question 36. A. each B. little C. most D. much

PLASTIC AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago
from parts of plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal and natural gas. We are using up these things so fast that the
Earth's supplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are investigating new ideas for making plastics from plants such as
sweet potato, bamboo and flax.
Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the environment. Some plastics can last for a long
time without wearing out, and can be difficult to get rid of when not needed. They can remain in rubbish dumps called
landfill sites for hundreds of years. Landfills can be smelly, ugly, and harmful to our planet.
Recycling is a good way to get rid of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can be used
again to make new products. This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be recycled in different ways. Some
kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make new things such as bags and bottles. Others can be made into fibres
(strands of material) for clothing.
Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping rather than plastic
ones. A lot of plastic objects can also be reused. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times, rather than throwing them away
once they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs and toys can be sold or given away to charity shops.
Question 10. According to the passage, things made from plastic are bad for our environment because _____.
A. they are very convenient for people to use in different purposes.
B. people reuse plastic objects before recycling them.

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.
When naming a child, some parents seem to choose a name based simply on their personal preference. In other
families, grandparents or professional name-makers come up with a child's name. And in some cases, the time of a child's
birth influences how the child's name is determined.
In many European cultures, names are typically chosen by parents. Parents' choice for their child's name may be based on
names of relatives or ancestors within their particular family. For example, in Italy, children are traditionally named after
their grandparents. The parents generally use the father's parents' names first. If they have more children, then they will use
the mother's parents' names. Similarly, some people in Eastern Europe name their children after relatives who have died.
This tradition is seen as a means to protect the child from the Angel of Death.
Traditionally in some Asian countries, a child's grandfather or a fortune-teller chooses the child's name. In contrast to the
tradition of naming children after relatives, the child's name is chosen to influence the child's character. For example, names
may be based on a connection to certain elements such as fire, water, earth, wood, or metal. Or the name might include a
written character meaning beauty, strength, or kindness.
In certain African cultures, when a child is born plays a large part in determining the child's name. In Ghana's Akan
culture, the day a child is born determines the child's name. But each day has different names for boys and girls. For instance,
a boy born on Friday is named Kofi, whereas a girl born on the same day is named Afua. Both Kofi and Afua are names
meaning "wanderer" or "explorer." Children with these names are seen as travelers.
No matter where the name comes from, a child's name is the first gift in life. Whether it is chosen according to preference
or dictated by tradition, the name reflects something about a child's culture. For that reason, all names should be treasured
and respected.
Question 20. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A. The arrival time of a child is an unimportant factor in deciding his or her name.
B. No matter how a child's name is chosen, it is not related to his or her culture.
C. Children receive the same name if they are born on the same day.
D. Children born on Friday are normally given names meaning going to new places.
Question 21. What is a common belief in some Asian countries concerning the tradition of naming a child?
A. A child's name shouldn't be connected with certain elements of nature.
B. The choice of a child's name is believed to have an impact on his or her personality.
C. A child's name must include a written character meaning beauty, strength, or kindness.
D. The choice of a child's name should be based on names of his or her relatives.
Question 22. The word "treasured" in paragraph 5 is opposite in meaning to______.
 A. valued B. ignored C. revealed D. developed
Question 23. The word "it" in paragraph 5 refers to______.
A. culture B. tradition C. name D. preference
