Read the following passage about embarking on adventures and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Traveling and exploring new places is an exciting way to experience different cultures and expand one’s
horizons. Whether it’s a short trip to a neighbouring town or a long journey to a foreign country, stepping
out into the world offers numerous benefits. It allows individuals to gain new perspectives, meet diverse
people, and create lasting memories. Additionally, traveling can enhance personal growth and provide a
sense of adventure and fulfillment.
One of the key advantages of traveling is the opportunity to learn about different cultures. By immersing
oneself in a new environment, travellers can gain a deeper understanding of local customs, traditions, and
lifestyles. This cultural exchange fosters mutual respect and appreciation among people from different
backgrounds. Moreover, experiencing different cultures can challenge preconceptions and broaden one’s
worldview.
Traveling also promotes personal development. Facing unfamiliar situations and overcoming challenges
can boost confidence and adaptability. Travelers often find themselves navigating new cities, trying
unfamiliar foods, and communicating in foreign languages. These experiences can enhance problem-solving
skills and resilience. Furthermore, the sense of accomplishment from successfully managing a trip can lead
to increased self-esteem and a greater sense of independence.
Another benefit of traveling is the chance to disconnect from the routine of everyday life. Exploring new
places provides a break from the usual responsibilities and stresses. This can be refreshing and
rejuvenating, allowing individuals to return home with a renewed sense of energy and perspective. Travel
can also foster creativity by exposing individuals to new sights, sounds, and ideas.
Despite its benefits, traveling can also present challenges. Planning a trip requires time and effort, and
unexpected situations can arise. However, these challenges can be viewed as opportunities for growth and
learning. With careful planning and a positive mindset, the rewards of traveling far outweigh the difficulties.

Read the following passage about green living and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Green living, often referred to as sustainable living, encourages individuals to adopt environmentally
friendly practices in their daily lives. [II] This lifestyle includes reducing waste, conserving natural
resources, and promoting eco-friendly habits, which collectively help to minimize the negative impact on the
environment (Davies & Mulligan, 2017). [III] Although green living requires effort and adjustment, its
benefits for the planet and future generations are substantial. [IV]
One of the fundamental aspects of green living is waste reduction. This can be achieved through practices
like recycling, composting, and reducing single-use plastics. According to a report by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), recycling and composting can significantly decrease the amount of waste sent to
landfills, which helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollution (EPA, 2021). Additionally, adopting
reusable items such as water bottles and shopping bags minimizes reliance on plastic, which is crucial for
protecting ecosystems and wildlife.
Another key component of green living is energy conservation. Simple changes, like switching to LED
light bulbs and using public transportation, can reduce an individual's carbon footprint. A study by the
International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that energy efficiency improvements, if widely implemented,
could decrease global energy demand by up to 40% by 2050 (IEA, 2019). By conserving energy, individuals
not only lower their utility bills but also contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions, which is essential
for mitigating climate change.
Green living also involves making conscious choices about the products we consume. This includes
opting for sustainably sourced goods, supporting local businesses, and choosing organic produce.
Sustainable agriculture practices reduce the need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers, which can harm
both the soil and water sources (Smith & Taylor, 2020). By making informed purchases, consumers can
support eco-friendly industries and help create a demand for greener alternatives.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Water scarcity is becoming an increasing problem in many parts of the world. The lack of sufficient
freshwater resources to meet the demands of a population has led to severe consequences, especially in arid
and semi-arid regions. With growing urbanization, agriculture, and industrial development, the demand for
water has reached unprecedented levels, placing a strain on available supplies. The problem is exacerbated
by climate change, which affects rainfall patterns and causes droughts in areas already vulnerable to water
shortages.
In many countries, water scarcity is not just a natural issue but also a result of poor management of
resources. Over-extraction of groundwater, pollution, and inefficient irrigation systems contribute to the
depletion of water supplies. For instance, in parts of India, large quantities of groundwater are being
extracted faster than they can be replenished, resulting in a drastic decline in water levels. Additionally,
polluted water sources make it unsafe for consumption, which further limits access to clean water for
millions of people.
Water scarcity affects more than just drinking water; it has a significant impact on agriculture, which
relies heavily on water for irrigation. The inability to irrigate crops properly can lead to reduced food
production, which can increase food prices and result in hunger. Unless countries implement better water
management practices, such as improving irrigation efficiency and reducing waste, the situation will
continue to worsen, making it harder to feed growing populations.
To tackle the issue of water scarcity, countries and communities must adopt sustainable water
management practices. This includes investing in water conservation technologies, improving water
storage systems, and addressing water pollution. International cooperation and awareness-raising campaigns
are essential to ensure that everyone has access to this vital resource.
Question 23: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor contributing to water scarcity?
A. urbanization B. infrastructure C. industrial development D. climate change
Question 24: The word exacerbated in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.
A. alleviated B. aggravated C. worsened D. exaggerated
Question 25: The word it in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. drinking water B. irrigation C. clean water D. water scarcity
Question 26: The word properly in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by ______.
A. immediately B. wastefully C. appropriately D. approximately
Question 27: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Countries and communities should develop long-term strategies to preserve water resources for future
generations.
B. Nations and communities must implement sustainable water management practices to address the
problem of water shortage.
C. Tackling water scarcity effectively requires not only national efforts but also global collaboration to
ensure the fair distribution of water resources.
D. Overcoming the issue of water scarcity involves adopting practical measures to manage and conserve
water supplies.
Question 28: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Water scarcity mainly affects coastal regions due to rising sea levels.
B. Water scarcity can lead to an increase in both food prices and the risk of hunger.
C. Over-extraction of groundwater is not a significant factor in water depletion.
D. Only climate change affects the availability of water resources in vulnerable regions.
Question 29: In which paragraph does the writer mention a conditional relationship?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
Question 30: In which paragraph does the writer provide an example of a country facing water scarcity
issues?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] SARS, Ebola, and SARS-CoV-2 have caused global panic since 2002, and all three viruses were
transmitted to humans from wild animals living in dense tropical forests that we are clearing for crops and
housing. [II] Stopping deforestation will not only reduce natural disasters but also help contain the spread
of dangerous diseases like Zika, malaria, and cholera, which are linked to rainforests. [III] A 2019 study
found that a 10 percent increase in deforestation would raise malaria cases by 3.3 percent; that would be 7.4
million people worldwide. [IV]
To prevent further environmental destruction, societies must take action. One important step is to
reduce meat consumption, which improves health and helps reduce the demand for land used for crops and
pastures. Cutting down on processed foods will decrease the need for palm oil, much of which is grown on
land that used to be tropical rainforests. In addition, improving food production per hectare can meet
growing demand without requiring more land, which could help reduce the pressure on forests and other
ecosystems.
Governments should take immediate action to stop the spread of infectious diseases. Banning the sale
of live wild animals in wet markets is critical, as these markets have been sources of diseases crossing over
from animals to humans. Although these markets have cultural importance, the health risks they pose are too
great to ignore. Governments must also address illegal wildlife trade, which contributes to the global spread
of infectious diseases and puts more people at risk.
Ending deforestation and preventing pandemics will guarantee healthier lives, reduce hunger, and
promote gender equality while encouraging sustainable land use. The COVID-19 pandemic, although
devastating, serves as a reminder to shift our focus toward human achievements through better
environmental management. Prioritizing sustainability will help avoid the overexploitation of natural
resources and ensure a healthier planet for future generations.

 reduce the spread of infectious diseases.
Question 36: The word illegal in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.
A. illicit B. lawful C. criminal D. immoral
Question 37: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Deforestation is the only factor contributing to the spread of infectious diseases.
B. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for better environmental management.

Read the following passage about wildlife conservation and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Wildlife conservation is a crucial endeavour that aims to protect animal species and their habitats. This
effort is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ensuring the health of our ecosystems. Human activities
such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change are some of the primary threats to wildlife.
Conservation initiatives strive to mitigate these impacts through various strategies.
 One significant aspect of wildlife conservation is the establishment of protected areas. National parks,
wildlife reserves, and marine protected areas are created to provide safe havens for endangered species.
These areas not only protect wildlife but also offer opportunities for scientific research and eco-tourism,
which can benefit local economies.
Another important approach is the reintroduction of species into their natural habitats. This method has
been successful in bringing several species back from the brink of extinction. Conservationists carefully
monitor and support these reintroduced populations to ensure their survival.
Education and awareness campaigns play a pivotal role in wildlife conservation as well. By educating the
public about the importance of biodiversity and the threats facing wildlife, these campaigns foster a sense of
responsibility and encourage community involvement in conservation efforts.
Technological advancements are also aiding conservation efforts. Innovations such as satellite tracking,
DNA analysis, and drone surveillance help researchers gather critical data and monitor wildlife
populations more effectively. These tools enable more informed decision-making and efficient
conservation strategies.
Question 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a threat to wildlife?
A. Deforestation B. Pollution C. Climate change D. Urbanization
Question 24. The word "establishment" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to:
A. creation B. destruction C. preservation D. alteration
Question 25. The word "their" in paragraph 1 refers to:
A. natural habitats B. reintroduced populations C. conservationists D. species
Question 26. The word "pivotal" in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by:
A. trivial B. crucial C. secondary D. irrelevant
Question 27. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 5?
A. Technological advancements hinder conservation efforts.
B. There is no alternative to technology in saving wildlife.
C. Technology could be another way to aid conservation efforts.
D. Technology should be the only focus in wildlife conservation.
Question 28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Only national parks can protect endangered species.
B. Reintroduction of species has never been successful.
C. Education campaigns foster community involvement.
D. Technological advancements are irrelevant to conservation.
Question 29. In which paragraph does the writer mention a present causal relationship?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
Question 30. In which paragraph does the writer explore modern methods for maintaining endangered
species?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 5
Read the following passage about wildlife conservation and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Wildlife conservation refers to the efforts made to protect and preserve wild animal species and their
habitats. [II] It is crucial for maintaining biodiversity, which plays a vital role in ecosystem stability and
health (Smith & Jones, 2018). [III] Unfortunately, many species are threatened due to habitat destruction,
poaching, and climate change, making conservation efforts more urgent than ever. [IV]
One of the primary reasons for wildlife conservation is the preservation of biodiversity. A diverse range
of species contributes to ecosystem services, such as pollination, water purification, and climate regulation.
The loss of a single species can disrupt these services and lead to ecological imbalances. For instance, the
decline of pollinators like bees has serious implications for food production and agriculture (Global
Biodiversity Outlook, 2020).
Moreover, wildlife conservation has significant economic benefits. Many communities depend on
ecotourism, which relies on healthy wildlife populations and intact ecosystems. According to a study by the
World Wildlife Fund (WWF), ecotourism can generate billions of dollars in revenue, providing jobs and
supporting local economies (WWF, 2021). Protecting wildlife not only safeguards natural resources but also
creates sustainable livelihoods for local populations.
 However, effective wildlife conservation requires a collaborative approach. Governments, non-
governmental organizations, and local communities must work together to implement policies and
strategies that promote conservation efforts. Community-based conservation initiatives, where local
people actively participate in protecting their natural resources, have shown promising results. These
initiatives empower communities and ensure that conservation efforts are tailored to local needs and
contexts (Bennett & Dearden, 2014).

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions.
Living on trend can sometimes feel like a full-time job. Each season brings new fashion pieces, tech
gadgets, and social media crazes to keep up with. For those who seek to stay relevant, following trends
means constantly scouring influencers' feeds and fashion magazines for the latest must-haves. It’s not just
about wearing what’s current; it’s about embodying a lifestyle that resonates with what's popular. This
constant cycle can be both exhilarating and exhausting, as it requires keen awareness and a willingness to
adapt quickly.
However, incorporating trends into daily life doesn’t always mean a complete overhaul of one's
closet or lifestyle. Sometimes, it's the small tweaks that make a big difference. Adding a splash of color to
an outfit with accessories, or trying out a popular fitness routine can be enough to feel on-trend. The key is
to find ways to integrate new ideas in a manner that suits one's personal style and preferences. It's about
maintaining a balance between individuality and the zeitgeist, mixing the old with the new to create a
unique expression.
The upside to living on trend is the opportunity for creativity and experimentation. Trends often push
individuals to explore new looks and ideas they may not have considered before. This exploration can lead
to discovering a personal style that feels both fresh and authentic. It can also foster a sense of community, as
embracing trends can connect people from different backgrounds through shared interests and discussions.
Nevertheless, there's a darker side to this quest for trendiness. It can lead to a cycle of constant
consumption, where the desire to keep up overshadows the need for sustainability. The pressure to
always be on top can be overwhelming, leading to frequent purchases and a fast-paced lifestyle that might
overshadow deeper values. Despite these challenges, living on trend can be adapted to emphasize quality
over quantity, encouraging mindful choices that align with personal values while still enjoying the
excitement of the new and the now.
Question 23: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Small tweaks never make a difference in staying on trend.
B. The quest for trendiness is always positive.
C. Trends can help individuals discover their personal style.
D. Living on trend is only about fashion.

Question 25: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to incorporate trends into daily life?
A. Following influencers' feeds B. Adding a splash of color with accessories
C. Overhauling one's closet D. Trying out a popular fitness routine
Question 26: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. It can promote a lifestyle that values trends over personal values.
B. It can create a situation where buying more is prioritized over being environmentally friendly.
C. It can encourage people to buy trendy items rather than focus on quality and environmental issues.
D. It can foster a community that supports constant shopping and other public services.

A. boring B. stressful C. exhausting D. exciting
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions.
[I] School can be a challenging place for many students, not only because of academic demands but
also due to various environmental and social issues. [II] One common issue is the pressure of maintaining
good grades. [III] Students often feel immense stress to achieve high scores, which can lead to anxiety
and a lack of motivation. [IV]. It's important for schools to strike a balance between academic rigor and
student well-being, encouraging a more supportive learning environment.
Another significant problem at school is bullying. Many students experience bullying in the form of
teasing, exclusion, or even physical aggression. This can happen face-to-face or online, which makes it even
 harder for some to escape. Bullying can severely impact a student's self-esteem and mental health,
sometimes leading to absenteeism or even more severe consequences. Schools need to have clear policies
and support systems in place to address and prevent bullying and ensure that all students feel safe and valued.
Peer pressure is also a common issue that students face. To fit in, some students might engage in
activities they are uncomfortable with, such as skipping classes or engaging in risky behaviors. This pressure
can stem from friends or from the desire to be part of a certain social group. It's crucial for schools to offer
programs that educate students about making healthy choices and the importance of standing up for
themselves.
Lastly, many students face challenges related to extracurricular involvement. While clubs and sports
are great for developing skills and friendships, they can sometimes become overwhelming. Balancing these
activities with academic responsibilities can be tough, leading to stress and burnout. It’s essential for
students to manage their time well and for schools to support them by providing guidance on how to balance
academics with extracurricular interests effectively.

Read the following passage about coffee and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Storms are powerful weather events that bring intense rain, strong winds, and sometimes thunder and
lightning. These storms can happen in various parts of the world and are often more frequent during certain
seasons, like summer or the rainy season in tropical areas. When a storm approaches, experts recommend
staying indoors due to the high risk of floods and flying debris caused by strong winds. Flooding is a
common effect of storms, particularly in low-lying areas or places near rivers and coastlines, leading to
property damage and travel disruptions.
Thunder and lightning are also significant parts of many storms. Lightning, which can strike trees,
buildings, or power lines, poses a serious risk to people outdoors, while the sound of thunder alerts people
to the storm’s strength. Due to the dangers of lightning strikes, experts advise avoiding metal objects and
electrical devices until the storm has passed.
Meteorologists use weather forecasts to warn communities about approaching storms, allowing
people time to prepare. Officials encourage families to secure loose items outside, keep flashlights and
emergency supplies ready, and follow local updates. In areas where severe storms are more common,
emergency kits with basic supplies like water, food, and first aid materials can help people stay safe.
Storms remind us of the importance of preparation and awareness to minimize risk, highlighting the
need for reliable weather forecasts and community safety plans.

Read the following passage about setting goals and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Goal setting is a crucial process that involves careful consideration of what you want to accomplish and
requires persistent effort to make it a reality. Establishing goals gives you a target to strive for and helps to
keep you motivated throughout the process. Goals also provide you with a focus and a way to measure your
progress and accomplishments.
In the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, setting realistic goals is the key to success. However, it is
important to be realistic with yourself when setting these goals. If you want to quit smoking, lose a
significant amount of weight, or run a marathon, it is unlikely to happen overnight, or even in a few months
or a year.
Not reaching those goals might be discouraging and lead to giving up altogether. To avoid feeling
overwhelmed, it is advisable to start small and concentrate on one goal at a time. If you want to lose weight,
make small and achievable goals. For example, you can start by working out at least three times a week or
adding more vegetables to your meals when you want seconds.
By keeping a journal or using a tracking app on your phone, you can monitor your progress and ensure
that you stay on track. Once these small goals become part of your routine, you can gradually add new ones,
such as limiting eating out to twice a week or incorporating weightlifting into your exercise routine. These
small goals are easier to achieve and will eventually lead to meeting your main goal.

Read the following passage about ‘Hole in the Wall’ experiments and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Dr Mitra, the Indian physicist turned radical educationalist is now internationally known for his "Hole
in the Wall" experiments, which ran for a decade in different parts of India from 1999. In these experiments,
he placed computers with Internet access in public places in remote villages or slum areas and left them to
be explored by the local children without guidance from teachers or other adults. [I]
The results were remarkable. The children rapidly taught themselves and each other to carry out basic
functions such as opening, closing, and saving files and were soon surfing the net, despite the fact that
some of them had never learnt to read or write in English.
Dr Mitra then moved on to setting tasks, for example, finding out about DNA replication or answering
moral questions, such as "Is it ever necessary to tell lies?" Having raised a question, he then went away for
several months, leaving the children to research the answers on their own. [II] Once again, the results
exceeded expectations. For example, those who studied DNA replication went from zero per cent to 30 per
cent on a biotechnology test in the space of two months' self-instruction.
The holes in the wall no longer exist, but Dr Mitra, now Professor of Educational Technology at
Newcastle University in the United Kingdom, has a new vision. [III] Building on the earlier insights about
how children can organise their own learning, he has established seven Self-Organised Learning
Environments. [IV] (Adapted from C21 Smart)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
The Internet is a short term of interconnected network that has revolutionized the way we
communicate, work, and learn. It has connected people from all over the world and made it possible to share
information and ideas instantly. The first design of the Internet was created by Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf in
the 1970s with the aim of becoming a survival network after a nuclear attack, but it eventually became a
successful nationwide experimental packet network.
The Internet is a vast network of computers that are connected to each other. Its operation is very
simple, in which each computer is called a server and connected directly to the Internet, and each server has
an IP address that allows others to find. This network allows users to access information and resources from
all over the world.
The Internet has had a profound impact on society. It has made it possible for people to
communicate with each other in new ways and to access educational information and resources that were
previously unavailable. The Internet has also created new opportunities for businesses and individuals. For
example, in the past, people had to bring their goods to market and display them to sell, but now, people can
see products through shopping windows and purchase them through online services. However, the Internet
has also had some negative impacts. For example, the Internet can be a source of misinformation. It can also
be addictive and can lead to social isolation.
Overall, the Internet has been a powerful force for change in the world. It has had both positive and
negative impacts, but it is clear that it has had a profound impact on our lives.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Global urbanisation has increased significantly in recent decades, and one of the main drivers of
this growth has been rural migration. [II] Half of the world's population already resides in cities, and by
2050, expens predict that number to reach as high as two-thirds. [III] Many factors contribute to this global
phenomenon, which then gives rise to various issues. [IV]
There are many push factors which force people away from rural life. For example, rural residents
have fewer employment options because there are not many large companies nearby. What's more, rural jobs
are mainly related to agriculture, so crop failures due to natural disasters can make it difficult to earn a good
living. By contrast, there are pull factors that attract people to urban life. Urban areas have more industries,
so people can easily get good jobs and achieve a higher standard of living. They also offer entertainment
alternatives, such as theme parks, sporting and musical events, al lowing urban citizens to access leisure
activities easily.
In the process of urbanisation, rural migration causes various far-reaching impacts on the
environment and urban citizens. First, deforestation occurs when city governments have forests cut down to
build accommodation for new residents, which harms the environment and reduces air quality. As growing
populations bring about more deforestation and pollution, the air quality worsens, which can lead to health
issues for residents. Second, due to population expansion, cities are struggling to offer adequate public
facilities for urban people. As a result, some lowincome people are unable to obtain the necessary affordable
housing and end up living in slums, where the quality of life is very poor.
Rural migration is a complicated process, of which the causes and the effects should be fully
comprehended. By carefully planning city development and suitable social policies, we can provide urban
citizens with good public services, exciting job opportunities and a high quality of life without harming the
environment. (Adapted from Bright)

B. Rural migration is the most important driving force behind the phenomenon of urbanisation worldwide.
C. Adequate public facilities are getting easily accessible to city residents thanks to governments' effort.
D. City residents' health issues are caused by poor living conditions in the slums, not reduced air quality.
Question 38: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Despite the complexity of rural migration, a complete understanding of its causes and effects could be
achieved.
B. Were the process of rural migration more straightforward, a thorough understanding of its causes and
effects could be gained.
C. Not until a full comprehension of the causes and effects of rural migration is achieved does it become a
straightforward process.
D. It is crucial to gain a comprehensive understanding of the causes and effects of such a complicated
phenomenon as rural migration.
Question 39: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The push factors play a more significant role than the pull factors in encouraging rural migration.
B. Rural migration has more profound impacts on the environment than on city dwellers' well-being.
C. Without proper planning, urban expansion may come at the expense of the environment and city dwellers'
well-being.
D. By 2050, about 70% of urban population is predicted to be living in slums due to their inability to afford
proper housing.
Question 40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. Driven by limited rural prospects and the appeal of urban opportunities, rural migration fuels rapid
urbanisation, impacting the environment and urban resources, thus requiring careful planning for sustainable
development.
B. Lack of rural opportunities and the attraction of city life cause increased rural migration, significantly expanding
urban populations and creating insoluble social and environmental issues.
C. Global urbanisation accelerates as people relocate from rural areas to cities seeking improved
employment and living standards, but this migration leads to pressing issues like deforestation and
inadequate public services.
D. Limited opportunities in rural areas and the promise of better employment and recreation draw people to
cities, but rapid urban growth damages the environment, highlighting the need for careful planning.

Vietnamese cultural identity is a rich and intricate tapestry that reflects the nation’s long and storied
history. Rooted in over a thousand years of civilization, Vietnam’s cultural identity is a fusion of indigenous
traditions and external influences, shaped by its geographical location and historical interactions.
First and foremost, at the heart of Vietnamese culture is a deep reverence for family and community.
Confucian values emphasizing respect for elders, filial piety, and social harmony have
played a pivotal role in shaping Vietnamese society. These values are reflected in the close-knit family
structures, hierarchical relationships, and communal rituals that are integral to daily life.
Secondly, Vietnamese cuisine is celebrated worldwide for its exquisite flavors and diversity. With its
emphasis on fresh ingredients, fragrant herbs, and balanced flavors, Vietnamese food tells a story of the
country’s agricultural heritage and regional variations. Iconic dishes like pho, banh mi, and spring rolls
have become global favorites, representing the culinary artistry deeply ingrained in Vietnamese
culture. Also, Vietnam’s artistic expressions are equally captivating. Traditional art forms like water
puppetry, silk painting, and folk music continue to thrive alongside contemporary artistic movements. Áo
dài, a graceful traditional dress, exemplifies the fusion of elegance and modesty in Vietnamese fashion,
symbolizing cultural pride and identity.
Today, in the face of modernization and globalization, Vietnamese cultural identity remains resilient.
While adapting to the challenges of the 21st century, the Vietnamese people continue to honor their
traditions, celebrate their unique cultural expressions, and pass on their heritage to future generations,

Being a Responsible Digital Citize
These days, digital technology is a major part of everyday life for all of us, and we use it for almost
everything, from work to school and entertainment. Therefore, with everyone spending so much time
connected to the Internet and using digital devices, it's important that we all understand how to be
responsible digital citizens in the modern world. But what exactly does that mean?
 A responsible digital citizen is someone who uses technology in a sensible way and encourages
others to do the same. [I] They are careful about their online behaviour and always try to be as polite as

respect other people's privacy, too. [III] They don't post pictures of others or discuss people's personal lives
without their permission because that could harm their online security. [IV] In this way, digital citizens help
others to feel safer and more comfortable in the digital world.

these online scams, they should report it to the cyber police to stop this behaviour from happening. By doing
this, digital citizens play an important role in making the Internet a safer place for all users. While many of

In the United States, presidential elections are held in years evenly divisible by four (1884, 1900,
1964…). Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending with zero have died in office with one
exception. William H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of pneumonia only several
weeks after his inauguration.
Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860, and his
untimely death came just five years later. James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from Ohio, was
shot during his year in office (1881) by a man to whom he wouldn't give a job. While in his second term of
office, William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan - American Exposition in Buffalo, New York.
During the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with some of the guests. John F. Kennedy
was assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his election.
Three years after his election in 1920, Warren G. Harding died in office. Although it was never proved,
many believe he was poisoned. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times (1932, 1936, 1940, 1944), the
only man to serve so long a term. He had contracted polio in 1921 and eventually died, of the illness in 1945.
Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980 and re-elected four years later, suffered an assassination
attempt but did not succumb to the assassin's bullets. He was the first to break the long chain of
unfortunate events.

There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently link to
one another are earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause massive devastation when they hit.
However, tsunamis are the direct results of earthquakes and cannot happen without them.
The Earth has three main parts: the crust, the mantle and the core. (I) The crust, the outer layer of the
Earth, is comprised of a few enormous plates and many smaller ones. (II) These plates essentially rest upon
the mantle, which is fluid. As a result, the plates are in constant - yet slow – motion. (III) The plates may
move away from or toward other plates. (IV) The movement of the plates causes tension in the rock. When
it is released, an earthquake happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only
scientific instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they
cause little harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other
structures to collapse. They may additionally injure and kill thousands of people and might even cause the
land to transform.
Since most of the earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planets’ oceans.
Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move, resulting in the displacement of water in the ocean.
When this occurs, a tsunami may form. A tsunami moves extremely quickly in all directions and can travel
thousands of kilometers. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets suck out to sea. This causes the
tsunami to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami - one more than ten meters
in height - can travel far in land. As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human settlements and kill
large numbers of people.

Read the following passage about wildlife conservation and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Wildlife conservation is a crucial endeavor that aims to protect animal species and their habitats. This effort
is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ensuring the health of our ecosystems. Human activities such as
deforestation, pollution, and climate change are some of the primary threats to wildlife. Conservation
initiatives strive to mitigate these impacts through various strategies.
One significant aspect of wildlife conservation is the establishment of protected areas. National parks,
wildlife reserves, and marine protected areas are created to provide safe havens for endangered species.
These areas not only protect wildlife but also offer opportunities for scientific research and eco-tourism,
which can benefit local economies.
Another important approach is the reintroduction of species into their natural habitats. This method has been
successful in bringing several species back from the brink of extinction. Conservationists carefully monitor
and support these reintroduced populations to ensure their survival.
Education and awareness campaigns play a pivotal role in wildlife conservation as well. By educating the
public about the importance of biodiversity and the threats facing wildlife, these campaigns foster a sense of
responsibility and encourage community involvement in conservation efforts.
Technological advancements are also aiding conservation efforts. Innovations such as satellite tracking,
DNA analysis, and drone surveillance help researchers gather critical data and monitor wildlife populations
more effectively. These tools enable more informed decision-making and efficient conservation strategies.

Read the following passage about wildlife conservation and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Wildlife conservation refers to the efforts made to protect and preserve wild animal species and their
habitats. [II] It is crucial for maintaining biodiversity, which plays a vital role in ecosystem stability and
health (Smith & Jones, 2018). [III] Unfortunately, many species are threatened due to habitat destruction,
poaching, and climate change, making conservation efforts more urgent than ever. [IV]
One of the primary reasons for wildlife conservation is the preservation of biodiversity. A diverse range of
species contributes to ecosystem services, such as pollination, water purification, and climate regulation.
The loss of a single species can disrupt these services and lead to ecological imbalances. For instance, the
decline of pollinators like bees has serious implications for food production and agriculture (Global
Biodiversity Outlook, 2020).
Moreover, wildlife conservation has significant economic benefits. Many communities depend on
ecotourism, which relies on healthy wildlife populations and intact ecosystems. According to a study by the
World Wildlife Fund (WWF), ecotourism can generate billions of dollars in revenue, providing jobs and
supporting local economies (WWF, 2021). Protecting wildlife not only safeguards natural resources but also
creates sustainable livelihoods for local populations.
However, effective wildlife conservation requires a collaborative approach. Governments, non-
governmental organizations, and local communities must work together to implement policies and
strategies that promote conservation efforts. Community-based conservation initiatives, where local
people actively participate in protecting their natural resources, have shown promising results. These
initiatives empower communities and ensure that conservation efforts are tailored to local needs and
contexts (Bennett & Dearden, 2014).
