Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer
to each of the question.
There is nothing to suggest that Evelyn Glennie is profoundly(hết sức, sâu sắc)
deaf. She insists that her deafness is irrelevant to her musicianship, but there is no
doubt that her obvious handicap=hamper=prevent: ngăn chặn, cản trở has turned a
remarkable career into a miraculous(huyền diệu, phi thường) one.
Glennie was eight when her hearing began to fail; by twelve she had lost it
completely and feared she would have to give up the music she loved. But a doctor’s
suggestion that she should become an accountant rather than follow a hopeless
musical career strengthened=push her will to succeed.
As it turned out, music was one of the most advantageous careers she could have
chosen and is one reason why her speech remains so extraordinarily correct, despite
her deafness. Occasionally she listens to recordings by holding a cassette player
between her knees, interpreting the vibrations and the shaking movements. Her
deafness is one of the reasons for her unique style, for she cannot listen and be
influenced=impacted=affected: bị ảnh hưởng by other performances and she has often
declared that getting her hearing back would be the worst thing that could happen to
her.
As a result of her devotion(devote:cống hiến=donate) to her music and her
determination to succeed, she has doubled the range of works available for percussion
music in Europe and introduced instruments previously unheard of in the west. She
has also asked composers to write more than fifty new pieces of music for these
instruments, and has set up=thành lập a library of three hundred works for other
musicians to use.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer
to each of the question.
The authors noted that while other forms of pollution are decreasing, noise
pollution has been increasing. 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. 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. 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.
