Câu 39 - 43
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 from 39 to 43.
Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or course tutor will not tell students
what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they work out which one is the best in their circumstances. It also
means that they are expected to take action if something goes wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth. This means that in an
educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend the reasons for that point of view and the
evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealise the idea of treating everyone equally. An illustration of
this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first names. This concern with equality means that Australians are
uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are even ready to joke about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a consequence, some students may
be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study. Australian notions of privacy mean that areas such as financial
matters, appearance and relationships are only discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such information, they
may resent someone actually asking them unless the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to
ask someone what they earn.
39. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. A story about Australia B. Australian culture shock
C. Things to do in Australia D. Australian culture
40. The word "them" in paragraph 1 refers to________.

41. In paragraph 3, most adult Australians call each other by their first names because_______.
A. Australians find it difficult to remember people's surnames
B. Australians restrict class discrimination
C. Australians get on well with each other
D. Calling each other by their first names makes them friendlier
42. The word "critical" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to________.
A. faultfinding B. grateful C. complimentary D. appreciative
43. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Asking someone what they earn is considered fairly polite.
B. Australians are prepared to accept a range of opinions.
C. Students in Australia will be expected to form their own opinions.
D. A teacher or course tutor will not tell students what to do.

Câu 44 - 50
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 from 44 to 50.
We are a planet of seven billion people, and this number is growing by about 370,000 people every day. This is putting a
huge strain on the planet's natural resources. For many governments and environmental organizations, the race is on to drastically
reduce our consumption of resources before they run out.
Water is one of our most precious resources. Our quality of life, as well as life itself, depends on the availability of clean, fresh
water. It is the most widely used resource in industry, and plays a major role in energy production. Although 70 percent of the
world is covered in water, only 2.5 percent of that is fresh water, and less than one percent of that freshwater is readily available to
us. Yet we often overestimate how much water we have, and reduce it further through pollution or inefficient use. Some 92
percent of all fresh water used annually is dedicated to growing plants and raising animals for food. This means that if water runs
out, our food supply might follow. In India, it is estimated that future water shortages could reduce grain harvests by 25%. In a
country where the population exceeds 1.2 billion people and is growing rapidly every year, this is a huge concern. India, like many
developing countries, is already struggling to provide for its population. While most people in developed countries can get water at
the turn of a tap, nearly four billion people elsewhere lack access to safe water, according to United Nations Development Report.
Rain forests are another endangered-resource. While rain forests are critically important to humanity, they are rapidly being
destroyed by human activities. The biggest cause of deforestation is conversion of forest land for agriculture. Often called the
"Lungs of the Planet”, rain forests once covered 14 percent of the Earth's land surface, but this has shrunk to only six percent.
Every second, an area of rainforest, the size of a football field, is destroyed at this rate. Rain forests will possibly disappear
completely in less than 40 years.
