answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
A few months ago, a group of scientists warned about the rise of “extinction denial,” an effort much like
climate denial to mischaracterize the extinction crisis and suggest that human activity isn't really having a
damaging effect on ecosystems and the whole planet. That damaging effect is, in reality, impossible to deny.
This past year, scientists and conservation organizations declared that a long list of species may have gone
extinct, including dozens of frogs, orchids and fish. Most of these species haven’t been seen in decades, despite
frequent and regular expeditions to find out if they still exist. The causes of these extinctions range from diseases
to invasive species to habitat loss, but most boil down to human behavior.
One of the first papers of 2020 to report any extinction announced the probable loss of 17 percent of
Bangladesh’s 187 known orchid species. Some of these still exist in other countries, but even regional extinctions
(or extirpations, as they're called) tell us that we’ve taken a toll on our ecological habitats. A similar paper
published just days later suggested that nine more orchid species from Madagascar may have also gone extinct.
One of the few extinctions of 2020 received much media attention, and it’s easy to see why. Handfish are an
unusual group of species whose front fins look somewhat like human appendages, which they use to walk around
the ocean floor. The smooth species, which hasn’t been seen since 1802, lived off the coast of Tasmania and was
probably common when it was first collected by naturalists. Bottom fishing, pollution, habitat destruction, bycatch
and other threats are all listed as among the probable reasons for its extinction. Even though the local
fishery collapsed more than 50 years ago, the remaining handfish species are still critically endangered, so this
extinction should serve as an important wake-up call to save them.
(Adapted from https://www.scientificamerican.com/)
Question 31: Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. Human activities are not the primary cause of species extinction.
B. Myriad flora and fauna species may have become extinction recently.
C. The negative effects of extinction crisis are increasing.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 36 to 42.
When I was a teenager playing Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series, I definitely wasn't looking to learn things.
But with 11 main AC games all set during different times and places in history - like ancient Egypt, Greece, and
America during the Revolutionary War - I was bound to learn something, even if just by accident. And I definitely
did.
One day, my history teacher passed out blank maps of the Caribbean. It was a quiz I had forgotten about. We
had to label countries and major cities. Luckily, I'd been playing a lot of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, set in the
Caribbean during the golden age of piracy in the early 18th century. So I was able to draw on my life as a pirate to
fill in the map, and I got an A.
When I was seven, I learned to multiply quickly through a purely educational game called Treasure
Mountain!, which had me solving math problems to progress up a mountain and collect treasure in a never-
ending loop. And then, of course, there was Assassin's Creed.
Ubisoft leaned into AC's educational potential, with very cool results. They did a lot of research to recreate
Ancient Egypt in AC: Origins and Ancient Greece in AC: Odyssey, and they released an educational discovery
tour for each game that lets you look around the environment with no violence, enemies, or time constraints. You
can learn about the Olympic Games, and how Sparta trained its soldiers in ancient Greece, with real historical
figures acting as your tour guides. Or jump over to ancient Egypt to check out mummies and climb on the
pyramids.
Obviously, Assassin's Creed can't teach you everything you need to know about the ancient world - but the
games do make that world come alive for people who are reluctant to learn, like I was.
If you're looking for some other options, Minecraft is incredibly popular with kids of any age. Minecraft:
Education Edition is free for everybody with a student email until at least June 30, and features over 500 pre-made
lesson plans for things like coding, history, English, and much more. For example, there is a lesson plan on how to
write clear instructions for in-game actions, and another that lets kids learn about slopes by building a roller
coaster.

It appears that WHO played a critically important, though imperfect, role in responding to the initial outbreak
of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China. Under the IHR, member countries are required to report potential PHEICs
occurring in their territories within 24 hours following initial detection.
Historically, however, countries have been reluctant to comply with the IHR’s reporting requirement, partly
because it might expose them to unwanted economic sanctions. Chinese authorities faced this dilemma as they
mulled over the question of spotlighting the potentially grave public health situation in Wuhan. Against this
backdrop, WHO’s detection of the local health commission’s notice on December 31, 2019, along
with its immediate request to gain further information, augmented the strategic situation facing Chinese authorities
to encourage disclosure.
Since late January 2020, WHO’s response to the COVID-19 crisis has suffered a number of institutional
missteps. The agency came under fire for issuing contradictory statements on precautionary health topics, such as
“human- to-human transmissibility” and “asymptomatic spread.” It has also been criticized for being slow to adapt
its official position on face masks in light of emerging scientific evidence. WHO also arguably erred in choosing
to delay formal declaration of a global public health emergency by at least one week.
For all of its institutional successes and shortfalls, WHO nonetheless continues to contribute powerfully and
positively to the pandemic response effort. To date, the organization has raised over $200 million through its
Solidarity Response Fund to combat the COVID-19 crisis, and has otherwise shipped millions of items of personal
protective equipment (PPE) to healthcare personnel in over 100 countries. WHO has also exercised its norm-
creating power to provide member countries with comprehensive guidance documentation on the pandemic. It has
additionally played a significant role in coordinating the global search for vaccines and other medical treatments.

For many hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, online networking has become enmeshed in our daily
lives. However, it is a decades-old insight from a study of traditional social networks that best illuminates one of
the most important aspects of today’s online networking. In 1973, sociologist Mark Granovetter showed how the
loose acquaintances, or “weak ties”, in our social network exert a disproportionate influence over our behaviour
and choices. Granovetter's research showed that a significant percentage of people get their jobs as a result of
recommendations or advice provided by a weak tie. Today our number of weak-tie contacts has exploded via
online social networking. “You couldn't maintain all of those weak ties on your own”, says Jennifer Golbeck of the
University of Maryland. “Online sites, such as Facebook, give you a way of cataloguing them”. The result? It's
now significantly easier for the schoolfriend you haven’t seen in years to pass you a tip that alters your behaviour,
from recommendation of a low-cholesterol breakfast cereal to a party invite where you meet your future wife or
husband.
The explosion of weak ties could have profound consequences for our social structures too, according to
Judith Donath of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. “We're already seeing
changes”, she says. For example, many people now turn to their online social networks ahead of sources such as
newspapers and television for trusted and relevant news or information. What they hear could well be inaccurate,
but the change is happening nonetheless. If these huge “supernets” - some of them numbering up to 5,000 people -
continue to thrive and grow, they could fundamentally change the way we share information and transform our
notions of relationships.
But are these vast networks really that relevant to us on a personal level? Robin Dunbar, an evolutionary
anthropologist at the University of Oxford, believes that our primate brains place a cap on the number of genuine
social relationships we can actually cope with: roughly 150. According to Dunbar, online social networking
appears to be very good for “servicing” relationships, but not for establishing them. He argues that our
evolutionary roots mean we still depend heavily on physical and face-to-face contact to be able to create ties.
Online social networking may also have tangible effects on our well-being. Nicole Ellison of Michigan State
University found that the frequency of networking site use correlates with greater self-esteem. Support and
affirmation from the weak ties could be the explanation, say Ellison. “Asking your close friends for help or advice
is nothing new, but we are seeing a lower of barriers among acquaintances”, she says. People are readily sharing
personal feelings and experiences to a wider circle than they might once have done. Sandy Pentland at
Massachusetts Institute of Technology agrees. “The ability to broadcast to our social group means we need never
feel alone”.

The adorable clone, named Elizabeth Ann, is a species of black-footed ferret, one of the most endangered
mammals in North America, according to the World Wildlife Fund for Nature. Born on Dec. 10, 2020, Elizabeth
Ann was created using cells from “Willa,” a wild black-footed ferret who died and had her cells cryopreserved in
1988, according to a statement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), which was involved in the
cloning.
The feat marks the first time an endangered species in the U.S. has been cloned, the statement said. “It was a
commitment to seeing this species survive that has led to the successful birth of Elizabeth Ann,” Ryan Phelan,
executive director of Revive & Restore, a conservation organization that was involved with the cloning, said in the
statement. “To see her now thriving ushers in a new era for her species and for conservation-dependent species
everywhere.”
Black-footed ferrets were once thought to be extinct, but scientists found a small population in 1981, which
allowed conservationists to start captive breeding programs for the species. About 250 to 350 of the ferrets live in
captivity, and 300 more live in reintroduction sites in the wild, according to Revive & Restore. But the limited
genetic diversity of the species has challenged its recovery, making the creatures prone to health disorders and
certain infections, the Times reported.
Since Willa was not one of the “seven founders” of the population, her genes - which are now possessed by
Elizabeth Ann - could bring much-needed variation to the population's genetics.
Several other endangered animals have been cloned in other parts of the world, including gaur, or wild cattle,
in 2001, bucardo, or wild goats, in 2009, and wild coyotes in 2012, according to Scientific American.

Once your child is born, they start learning motor skills, language skills, cognitive skills, and emotional
skills.
Regarding motor skills, it is largely the family’s responsibility for teaching these skills. Even if your child is
in daycare, the work that parents put in at home to teach these skills is much more effective than in the few hours
your child is under someone else's care. Your child will learn how to sit up, walk, run, climb, hold a spoon and so
on. These seem quite natural to us as adults, but they are skills that have to be fine-tuned at a very young age, and
they also reinforce your child’s independence which is essential for their development.
Language skills are another essential component of the role of family in child development. If you do not
speak to your child and teach them your language, they will never learn. One infamous example of this occurring
is with Genie, a child who was locked in a dark room with extremely little human contact until she was rescued at
age 13. She was never able to develop language fluency because it was never taught to her. So, teaching your
children language skills from a young age is also essential to child development.
Another skill that is very important for child development is emotion. Emotional skills are important
throughout your child's entire life as they teach them when to have sympathy and compassion for others as well as
teach them how to deal with the highs and lows that come with life. If your child does not have proper emotional
skills, they will not be able to deal with bad outcomes. If they lack emotional skills, it could lead to destructive
choices when they are older.
To help develop your child's emotional skills, teaching them to smile and wave when they are babies is a
good place to start. When they get a bit older, teaching them to share is very important. In a family, because there
are multiple people, the family can be very helpful in developing a child's skills with the multiple perspectives. To
bring this more to foundational building blocks, while your child is very young, something very helpful for family
members to do is to teach children basic emotions. When a child is feeling a certain way, naming emotions and
describing them are important ways for your child to understand how they are feeling. Once this foundation is set,
children can learn how to respond to their feelings and move forward.

For years, charities across the globe have been encouraging students to join their volunteering programmes to
help make a difference in the world. Volunteers are an integral part of any charitable organization; without them,
there would be no charity. Not only can volunteering benefit a wealth of causes, but it can also boost a student's
prospects once they head out into the working world.
Volunteering can be a humbling experience, allowing you to see the world in a different way. Whether you
agree to volunteer for a number of consecutive months or a day a week, the impact you have could be life-
changing. There's also a strong sense of achievement and pride that comes with generously giving up your time for
a worthy cause.
When it comes to volunteering, there are countless opportunities at home or away. Many students choose to
volunteer abroad to experience a new culture and learn more about other countries. It can be a wonderful way to
experience another country, with support and guidance during the stay from the organizations. Volunteering
overseas involves more group-based work than volunteering at home. It also gives students the opportunity to get
away from studies and work responsibilities.
At home, opportunities are likely to be helping with youth clubs, childcare support, medical support or charity
shops. Working for a cause while at home will allow for flexibility around a student's timetable, they may be able
to give up some of their spare time at the weekend or a few hours in the evening.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or Don your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Translators and interpreters for tech jobs of the future are expected to be one of the fastest growing
occupations in the nation, according to a just released survey by Vietnamworks. Almost all positions for
programmers, application developers, database and network administrators, engineers, designers, architects,
scientists, technicians, and tech support will require bilingual or multilingual fluency.
In just the last two years the demand for tech professionals with foreign language skills has increased more
than two and one-half fold, said the survey, and the uptick shows no signs of abating anytime soon. Roughly
400,000 jobs are expected to open for interpreters (who focus on spoken language) and translators (who focus on
written language) in the tech segment, between 2017 and 2020, says Tran Anh Tuan. Tuan, who works for the
Centre for Forecasting Manpower Needs and Labour Market Information in Ho Chi Minh City doesn’t include
other industries in his prediction, which are also recruiting ferociously for more people with these same language
skills.
While that claim might seem a bit overblown (and amounts to little more than a guess by Tuan), it is clear
that innovative technologies like robotics, 3D printing, drones, artificial intelligence and virtual reality will create
major upheavals in all sorts of labour markets, not just technology over the next few years. In the last month
alone, most every job posted on employment websites throughout Vietnam included the word bilingual. Far higher
salaries go to people who work in high tech positions and can speak a foreign language such as English in addition
to Vietnamese, says Tran Quang Anh from the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology.
Unfortunately, the surveys show that most graduating Vietnamese students are unable to do more than
understand a few basic phrases of foreign languages, and practically none of them can speak any foreign language
coherently. The good paying jobs with high salaries and benefits are only available to translators and interpreters
who specialize in high tech jobs, says Anh. But it’s not just English - graduates are needed with fluency in middle
eastern languages like Arabic, Farsi and Pashto (Afghani) as well as German, Japanese and Korean to name just a
few. Spanish is also in high demand in Vietnam, primarily because it is the second most common language in the
US after English.
A recent tech expo in Hanoi sponsored by Vietnamworks and the Navigos Group attracted nearly 4,000
young tech graduates and recruiters from 14 leading companies looking to fill job vacancies with skilled bilingual
workers. The job applicants were young and industrious, said the recruiters. However, missing were candidates
with the requisite language skills and most lacked basic ‘soft skills’ such as written and verbal communication
abilities to effectively communicate even in their native Vietnamese language.
Notably, the recruiters said they considered language abilities and soft skills just as, if not more important,
than academic ability. Yet virtually all the prospective academically qualified employees lacked even the most
basic of interpersonal communication abilities.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, Cor D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
It is hard to argue that the actual contribution to development amounts to a great deal directly. Whilst
volunteer tourists can get involved in building homes or schools, they have usually paid a significant fee for the
opportunity to be involved in this work: money that, if donated to a local community directly, could potentially
pay for a greater amount of labor than the individual volunteer could ever hope to provide. This is especially so in
the case of gap years, in which the level of technical skill or professional experience required of volunteers
is negligible. Hence, it is unsurprising that many academic studies allude to the moral issue of whether gap year
volunteering is principally motivated by altruism - a desire to benefit the society visited - or whether young people
aim to generate “cultural capital” which benefits them in their careers. However, the projects may play a role in
developing people who will, in the course of their careers and lives, act ethically in favor of those less well-off.
Volunteering may lead to greater international understanding; enhanced ability to solve conflicts; widespread
and democratic participation in global affairs through global civic society organizations; and growth of
international social networks among ordinary people. In this scenario, the whole is greater than the sum of its
parts, an outcome where benefits accrue to volunteers and host communities, and contribute to the global greater
good. However, if volunteering is largely limited to individuals of means from wealthier areas of the world, it may
give these privileged volunteers an international perspective, and a career boost, but it will do little for people and
communities who currently lack access to international voluntary work. Those who volunteer will continue to reap
its benefits, using host organizations and host communities as a rung on the ladder of personal advancement.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
Being bullied in school is not “part of growing up” or just a “rite of passage.” Some children who endure
bullying never get over the fear and the humiliation, according to Mr. Barone. By working together, schools and
parents can make going to school an experience that students will enjoy, not dread.
Students who are the victims of bullies and school officials who hold the power to stop them have very
different perceptions of the problem. This difference has hindered effective prevention efforts. Bullying is a
situation when a student or group of students is mean to you over a long period of time (weeks or even months).
Bullying can either be physical (hitting, kicking, and so on) or it can be verbal (threats, name calling, gossiping, or
ignoring). Using this definition, the school staff member were asked to estimate the percentage of the students in
their schools who had been victimized by bullying. On average, the staff member believed that 16% of the students
had been victims of bullies. The students in the same schools were asked whether they had ever been bothered by a
bully or bullies while you were in middle school. And 58.8 % of the students surveyed said that they had. The size
of the difference in perceptions between students and school staff members suggests that the staff members do not
recognize the extent of the bullying that students face. Bullying just does not seem to be “that big a problem” to
the staff.
The same survey uncovered some interesting facts. Contrary to what many of us believe, bullying in school
does not primarily involve boys. Popular portrayals, such as The Lord of the Flies and the Lords of
Discipline, which depict only boys as both the bullies and the victims, do not reflect reality. As shown in this
study, only 47% of the victims of bullying in middle school are boys. Thus, according to the students’ own
perceptions, the majority (53%) of the victims of bullies are girls. Not surprisingly, the bullying that takes place
among boys tends to be more physical (punching, kicking, pushing, and so on) than that which takes place among
girls (which is usually more verbal in nature). Among the students who said that the bullying they had experienced
was mostly physical, 89.3% were boys. Among those students who said that the bullying they experienced was
mostly verbal, 67.1% were girls).
Among all students surveyed, 10% indicated that they had been physically injured by a bullying in school.
Furthermore, the nature of the injuries ranged from minor bumps and bruises to some injuries that required
hospitalization. Of those students who said they had been injured by a bully, 76.5% were boys.
