animals also rely on forests. Forests are home to more than three-quarters of the world’s life on land.
Forests also play a critical role in reducing climate change because they act as a carbon sink - soaking
up carbon dioxide that would otherwise be free in the atmosphere and contribute to ongoing changes in
climate.
But forests around the world are under threat, which affects these benefits. The threats are
deforestation and forest degradation. The main cause of deforestation is agriculture (poorly planned
infrastructure is developing as a big threat too) and the main cause of forest degradation is illegal tree-
cutting. In 2019, the tropics lost close to 30 soccer fields’ worth of trees every single minute.
Deforestation is a particular concern in tropical rain forests because these forests are home to
much of the world’s biodiversity. For example, in the Amazon around 17% of the forest has been lost in
the last 50 years, mostly due to forest change for cattle raising. Deforestation in this region is
particularly common in more populated areas, roads and rivers, but even remote areas have been
polluted when valuable gold and oil are discovered.
Question 27. What would be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Jobs in the Forest Sector and Related Industries
B. The Impact of Deforestation on Climate Change
C. Forests: Our Treasure in Danger
D. The Threats to Biodiversity in Tropical Rainforests
Question 28. The word “thrive” in paragraph 1 is CLOSEST in meaning to ________.
A. protect B. develop C. decline D. ban
Question 29. The word “they” in paragraph 1 refers to ________.
A. people B. animals C. forests D. changes
Question 30. Which of the following is a major cause of deforestation in tropical rainforests?
A. industrialization B. population growth C. road construction D. cattle raising
Question 31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. 41 million people across the world have a job in the forest sector.
B. Agriculture is becoming a big threat to forests.
C. Deforestation is the main cause of forest degradation.
D. The Amazon has lost 17% of its forest in the last 50 years.

challenges that women face.
First of all, there are still girls who are forced to get married before the age of 18. In (1) _____
places, parents may see child marriage as a way to protect daughters from violence. However,
many of these young girls become victims of domestic violence. Child marriage also carries
serious health risks as young girls are not physically developed to give birth.
Secondly, more than half of the world's uneducated people are women. This means fewer girls

SECTION III. READING
Read the following passage about plastic bags and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answers of the following questions.
Plastic bags are used by everybody. From a vegetable vendor to a designer store,
everyone seems to use them. Even though they are one of the modern conveniences that we
seem to be unable to do without, they are responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and
using up the precious resources of the Earth. But, most of us are blissfully unaware of
the outcomes that are occurring and will take place in the future.
Every once in a while, the government passes out an order banning store owners from
providing plastic bags to customers for carrying their purchases. About a hundred billion plastic
bags are used every year in the U.S. alone. The problem is further worsened by the developed
countries shipping off their plastic waste to developing countries like India.
Once they are used, most bags go into landfills. Each year, more and more bags are
ending up littering the environment. Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way into
our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets. About 100,000 animals, such as dolphins, turtles,
whales, penguins are killed every year due to these bags. And worse, the ingested plastic bag
remains intact even after the death and decomposition of the animal. One of the worst
environmental effects is that they are non-biodegradable. No one will live so long to witness the
decomposition of plastic!
A tote bag can make a good substitute for carrying groceries and the shopping. You
can keep the bag with the cashier, and then put your purchases into it instead of the usual plastic
bag. Recycling the bags you already have is another good idea. Plastics are not only non-
 Diego English
Complied by Hieu Trung Nguyen
biodegradable, but are one of the major pollutants of the sea. For a clean and green
environment, try to use alternatives to plastic whenever and wherever possible.
(Adapted from: https://helpsavenature.com/)

Question 17. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
A. Once littered, plastic bags will not pollute our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets.
B. After they are thrown away, plastic bags often end up in our waterways, parks, beaches, and
streets.
C. Concerning in our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets, plastic bags after discarded often
start off.
D. When abandoned, plastic bags hardly polluted our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets.
Question 18. The word “outcomes” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by _________.
A. contamination B. situations C. benefits D. consequences
Question 19. What does the word “them” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. personal development B. everyone C. plastic bags D. good substitutes
Question 20. In which paragraph does the writer mention the biggest problem?
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 option that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
Gender Equality Today.
Gender equality is a fundamental human right and a critical foundation for a peaceful,
prosperous, and sustainable world. Ensuring that women and men have equal opportunities is
essential for the development of society. Despite significant progress in recent years, gender
inequality remains a pressing issue across the globe. Women continue to be underrepresented in
leadership positions and face numerous barriers in various sectors, including education,
healthcare, and the workforce. According to the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap
Report 2021, it will take an estimated 135.6 years to close the gender gap globally if current
trends continue.
In many countries, women are still subjected to discrimination and violence. Gender-
based violence, including domestic violence and sexual harassment, affects millions of women
worldwide and hinders their ability to participate fully in society. Additionally, cultural and
societal norms often perpetuate stereotypes that limit women's roles and opportunities.
However, there are positive signs of change. Movements advocating for gender equality
have gained momentum, and more individuals are recognizing the importance of women's
rights. Governments and organizations are implementing policies to promote equal
opportunities and protect against discrimination. Education plays a vital role in this
transformation, as empowering girls through education can lead to improved economic
outcomes and healthier communities.
Achieving gender equality is not only a matter of fairness; it is essential for the
advancement of society as a whole. By ensuring equal rights and opportunities for all
genders, we can create a more just and equitable world.
[Adapted United Nations. "Gender Equality." UN Women. 2021]

Climate change is one of the most intuitive changes in global warming. As a result of a large
amount of carbon dioxide emissions, there is a sharp rise in high-temperature weather, which has an
irreversible impact on our environment and ecology. Scientists say, “Changing weather patterns linked
to rising global temperatures have resulted in a dearth of wind across northern China, according to
several recent studies, exacerbating a wave of severe pollution that has been blamed for millions of
premature deaths”. However, when I returned home last Christmas, there was no snow on the street,
instead, it was a warm winter with sunshine. The continuation of global warming may not only bring
about changes in climate. The world may undergo more unpredictable changes due to global warming in

the future.
Global climate change has seriously affected the living environment of animals, the change of
climate, the quality of human life, and the threat to human security. Global warming has become a very
difficult trend to reverse. It and rising temperatures have caused very serious consequences for human
beings, brought great impact on the Earth’s organisms and seriously affected people’s lives, but people
didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem. It is urgent to protect the environment and people should
take active measures to deal with it.

Part 2: 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 following question.
THE BALANCE OF NATURE
All the different plants and animals in a natural community are in a state of balance. This
balance is achieved by the plants and animals interacting with each other and with their non-living
surroundings. An example of a natural community is a woodland, and a woodland is usually dominated
by a particular species of plant, such as the oak tree in an oak wood. The oak tree in this example is
therefore called the dominant species but there are also many other types of plants, from brambles,
bushes, and small trees to mosses, lichens and algae growing on tree trunks and rocks.
The plants of a community are the producers: they use carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen to build
up their tissues using energy in the form of sunlight. The plant tissues form food for the plant-eating
animals (herbivores) which are in turn eaten by flesh-eating animals (carnivores). Thus, plants produce
the basic food supply for all the animals of a community. The animals themselves are the consumers,
and are either herbivores or carnivores.
Examples of herbivores in a woodland community are rabbits, deer, mice and snails, and insects
such as aphids and caterpillars. The herbivores are sometimes eaten by the carnivores. Woodland
carnivores are of all sizes, from insects such as beetles and lacewings to animals such as owls, shrews
and foxes. Some carnivores feed on herbivores, some feed on the smaller carnivores, while some feed
on both: a tawny owl will eat beetles and shrews as well as voles and mice. These food relationships
between the different members of the community are known as food chains or food webs. All food
chains start with plants. The links of the chain are formed by the herbivores that eat the plants and the
carnivores that feed on the herbivores. There are more organisms at the base of the food chain than at
the top; for example, there are many more green plants than carnivores in a community.
Another important section of the community is made up of the decomposers. They include the
bacteria and fungi that live in the soil and feed on dead animals and plants. By doing this they break
down the tissues of the dead organisms and release mineral salts into the soil.
Question 27. What is the role of plants in a natural community?
A. They are decomposers. B. They are consumers.
C. They are producers. D. They are carnivores.

Question 28. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT an example of a woodland
carnivore?
A. Beetles B. Owls C. Deer D. Foxes
Question 29. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The importance of decomposers in nature
B. The interactions among plants, herbivores, and carnivores in a balanced ecosystem
C. The dominance of oak trees in woodlands
D. The way humans affect the balance of nature
Question 30. The word "dominant" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to:
A. Common B. Strong C. Main D. Harmful
Question 31. All of the following statements are TRUE, except:
A. Carnivores can feed on both herbivores and smaller carnivores.
B. Food chains always begin with plants.
C. There are more carnivores than green plants in a community.
D. Decomposers break down dead organisms and release mineral salts into the soil.

Part 2: 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 following question.
Tourism will always have an impact on the places visited. Sometimes the impact is good, but
often it is negative. For example, if lots of people visit one place, then this can damage the environment.
The question is - how can we minimize the problems without preventing people from travelling and
visiting places?
The main aim of ecotourism is to reduce the negative impact that tourism has on the environment and
local people. The idea is to encourage tourists to think about what they do when they visit a place.
It's great to talk about protecting the environment, but how do you actually do this? There are a number
of key points. Tourists shouldn't drop litter, they should stay on the paths, they shouldn't interfere with
wildlife and they should respect local customs and traditions.
Some people see ecotourism as a contradiction. They say that any tourism needs infrastructure - roads,
airports and hotels. The more tourists that visit a place, the more of these are needed and, by building
more of these, you can't avoid damaging the environment.
But, of course, things aren't so black and white. Living in a place of natural beauty doesn't mean that
you shouldn't benefit from things like better roads. As long as the improvements benefit the local people
and not just the tourists, and the local communities are consulted on plans and changes, then is there
really a problem?
In 2002 the United Nations celebrated the "International Year of Ecotourism". Over the past twenty
years, more and more people have started taking eco-holidays. In countries such as Ecuador, Nepal,
Costa Rica and Kenya, ecotourism represents a significant proportion of the tourist industry.
Question 27. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A brief introduction about ecotourism B. Some Dos for ecotourists
C. Some Don'ts for ecotourists D. Benefits and drawbacks of ecotourism
Question 28. In paragraph 1, the word "it" refers to ____.
A. tourism B. environment C. impact D. damage
Question 29. According to the passage, what does the ecotourism aim at?
A. stopping ecotourism altogether B. reducing the tourism problems
C. preventing tourists from travelling D. finding a new form of tourism
Question 30. According to the passage, which of the following is not mentioned as an activity to
protect the environment?
A. not littering and had better stay on the paths B. not interfering with wildlife
C. respecting local customs and traditions D. not hunting animals for food
Question 31. In paragraph 4, the word "avoid " is closest in meaning to ____.
A. present B. pretend C. prevent D. protest
