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 [Link]
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.

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."

answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from
29 to 33.
Vietnam’s population is ageing quickly. In 2017, more than 10 per cent of the
population will be 60 and older, and in 15-20 years the elderly will account for one
third of the total population. This raises concerns about healthcare, welfare and
pensions for the elderly at a time when Vietnam is focusing on economic integration
and requires a large labor force. So far two solutions have been proposed: to loosen
the two-child policy and to increase the retirement age to 58 for women and 62 for
men. By ending the two-child policy the government expects to make up for the
ageing population within the next 20 years. But its effect could be creating an
uncontrollable boom in the Vietnamese population. When the government loosened
the two-child policy in 2015 in a trial period, in the first 6 months of 2016 the third
child birth rate increased remarkably by 7.5 per cent
Raising the retirement age has been proposed by the Ministry of Labor pending
parliamentary evaluation in May 2017. While the policy is beneficial in utilizing the
work experience of the elderly while creating savings in the pension budget, it also
means fewer job prospects and promotion opportunities for younger generations. It
is also not in the interest of all the elderly, especially the 70 per cent of Vietnam's
labor force working in manual labor - intensive sectors such as agriculture,
manufacturing and construction where working above the age of 50 can be
dangerous and unproductive. Despite these drawbacks, raising the retirement age is
still considered by policymakers as one of the key solutions to the ageing population
problem in Vietnam. However, these are only temporary solutions.

Question 29. The best title for this passage could be ________.
A. Vietnam struggling with ageing population
B. Stopping the two-child policy in Vietnam
C. Raising the retirement age in Vietnam
D. How to solve the aging population in Vietnam
Question 30. Which statement is probably TRUE according to the information in
the paragraph 1?
A. In 2017, the elderly take up for one third of the total population, this leads to
more concerns about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly.
B. In 2015, the two-child policy has been officially tightened and succeeded.
C. The government would promote families to have two children to compensate for
the ageing population within the next 20 years.
D. In the next 15-17 years, Vietnam's economy will need a large labor force to
integrate with global economy.
Question 31. The word "temporary" in paragraph 2 means ________.
A. constant B. permanent C. short-term D. long-
term
Question 32. The word “its" in paragraph 1 refers to ________?
A. two-Child policy B. aging population
C. retirement age D. economic integration
Question 33. In the 2rd paragraph, the writer suggests that ________.
A. The Ministry of Labor has applied raising the retirement age in May 2017.
B. Raising the retirement age can reduce job opportunities for younger generations.
C. The elderly whose age is 50 would be dangerous if they continued to work
D. Raising the retirement age and stopping two-child policy can be considered as
long-term and effective solutions.
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
34 to 40.
Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It's a special, dark place completely
different from anywhere else. A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall.
Millions of kinds of animals, insects, and plants live in the rainforest. It is hot
and humid in a rainforest. It rains a lot in the rainforest, but sometimes you don‘t
know it's raining. The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach
the ground.
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent. They
are found in tropical parts of the world. The largest rainforest in the world is the
Amazon in South America. The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five
million square kilometers. The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa. There
are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and
the Pacific Islands.
Rainforests provide us with many things. In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the
“lungs of our planet” because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen. One
fifth of the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest. Furthermore,
one half of the world's species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth's
rainforests. Eighty percent of the food we eat first grew in the rainforest. For
example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and
sugar all came from rainforests. Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take when we
are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests. Some of these drugs are
even used to fight and cure cancer. With all the good things we get from rainforests,
it’s surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests. In fact, 1.5 acres, or
6,000 square meters, of rainforest disappear every second. The forests are being
cut down to make fields for cows, to harvest the plants, and to clear land for farms.
Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction of rainforests creates
many problems worldwide. Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less
rain, and less oxygen for the world.
Question 34: What is the author's purpose in the passage?
A. To provide factual information about tropical rainforests for readers.
B. To prove that rainforests are indispensable in our lives.
C. To explain why people have destroyed a large area of tropical rainforests.
D. To prevent people from damaging tropical rainforests.
Question 35. Why don't people know it‘s raining in the rainforests?
A. Because the trees grow very tall there.
B. Because they are the habitats of millions of flora and fauna.
C. Because the branches are too dense for the rain to touch the ground.
D. Because it hardly rains in the rainforests.
Question 36. The word “humid” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
_______.
 A. dry B. moist C. cloudy D. overwhelmed
Question 37. The word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to ______.
A. plants B. the drugs C. rainforests D. pineapples
Question 38. The word “countless” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by ___.
A. trivial B. meaningless C. numberless D. derisive
Question 39: The following are the facts about rainforests, EXCEPT ______.
A. The only places to see rainforests are in tropical zones.
B. The rainforest in Western Africa ranks second after the Amazon in South America
in the covered area.
C. Rainforests account for about one sixth of the Earth's surface.
D. There’s a considerable variety of plants and animals in the rainforests.
Question 40: What can be inferred from the last passage?
A. People are not aware of the significance of the rainforests.
B. The consequences of deforestation are greater than what people can imagine.
C. The more rainforests are destroyed, the harder people's life will become.
D. People’s economic benefits are more important than environmental problems.
