(24) energy. With (25) renewable resources like solar and offshore wind power,
Vietnam wants to grow the green hydrogen industry. New progress in making hydrogen from seawater
gives hope for more opportunities, especially for offshore wind power and hydrogen production.
(26) Vietnam mostly uses fossil fuels now, it wants to switch to cleaner hydrogen to meet the
needs of things like transportation and big industries. Moreover, Vietnam's good location means it can
sell green hydrogen to other countries. This fits with the goals of the national hydrogen energy plan,
(27) aims to promote economic growth and sustainable development.
In addition to these efforts, it's important for the government and businesses to work together to
push forward the use of hydrogen energy. We also need to invest more in research to make green
hydrogen technologies better and cheaper. Moreover, public awareness campaigns (28) a vital role
in garnering support and participation in the transition towards sustainable energy practices.

Many people may be surprised to hear that poaching - the illegal hunting of wild animals – is still
one of the biggest drivers of extinction, despite efforts from governments around the world. From
figuring out where illegal hunting is taking place to identifying the source of an animal product,
conservationists still face many challenges. That being said, developments in technology are putting
new tools into the hands of the law enforcement officials and conservation biologists who desperately
need them.
One difficulty faced when illegal bones, horns and skin are seized is knowing where they came
from. Fortunately, there are ways that artificial intelligence can help. For example, every tiger has a
unique stripe pattern, like a fingerprint. With this knowledge in mind, scientists in India have created a
database powered by Al containing images of tigers and their specific stripe pattern, which has been
successfully implemented to determine that a piece of tiger skin came from a protected area and thus
had been poached rather than farmed. Information like this is hugely valuable for officials, since it
allows them to pinpoint areas where there is poaching activity. Currently, efforts are being made to
expand the database with images from other countries and regions worldwide.
Taking a different approach is Professor Fritz Vollrath of the University of Oxford, who spent
decades studying the properties of various biological materials before turning his attention to ivory. He
is now working with researchers in China to develop a man-made version of natural ivory. "Ivory is a
nice material that people like to handle - but does it have to come from a dead elephant? What if we can
create a mixture of collagen and minerals that has the same qualities?" he says. Likewise, startup
company Pembient is trying to produce a synthetic form of rhino horn. They've created a few prototypes
and expect their final product to be ready for sale in 2022 at only $2.61 per gram.
 Meanwhile, Professor Milind Tambe in California, using 14 years of data on poaching activities
in Queen Elizabeth National Park, were able to create a system that would predict likely hotspots for
poaching and direct patrols there to remove traps before they can kill any animals, plus generate new
routes to areas where patrols were often sparse in the past. Perfecting the program day by day, Tambe is
now partnering with many wildlife agencies to integrate it into their software. "My job is to support
conservationists, and to see what I can do for them," says Tambe.

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.
Transport makes up a quarter of the world's carbon emissions, with buses producing an average
of 822 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. This is one of the leading factors inspiring the innovation
of electric transport and the rise of the electric bus, or e-bus.
Electric buses can charge throughout their journey with stations at every bus stop, enabling
automatic charging whenever the buses pick up or unload passengers. Named "Opportunity Charging"
due to the e-bus's ability to charge whenever it is near a station, this method is more energy-efficient and
cost-effective, removing the need for individual buses to leave their routes to refuel at petrol stations.
 Generating the required energy through battery charging at stations is obviously much better for
the planet, but what about the people who will occupy the seats inside? These buses do not only benefit
to the environment, but they can also make your commute a more pleasant experience, as the e- bus
makes far less noise and provides a much smoother journey than older, petrol-fueled buses with no
engine vibration.
The potential for bus routes could also be much greater. A silent electric vehicle opens up
possibilities for new bus stop locations. Soon you may not have to step outside a shopping centre to
catch the bus, as the smooth and quiet rides could stop indoors with minimal commotion.
