Part 3. Read and mark the best answer to each of the following questions from 20 to 24. (1,25 points)
Pollutants are clogging up the atmosphere above our planet and trapping the sun's heat. That makes our planet
warmer, which causes glaciers to melt, crazy weather patterns to develop, and natural disasters spread like wildfires.
But there are other consequences that people don't always associate with climate change. One surprising fact about
global warming is that it makes people more aggressive.
As the world gets hotter, tempers also get fierier. A new study found that violent crimes and even war become more
likely as temperatures rise. Heart rates tend to be elevated in warm weather, so people are prepped for a physical response
to a situation. That’s not to say we're headed for a violent end as Earth warms up, though. Advances in everything from
technology to health have sparked a decline in conflict. It's just that global warming might be slowing that decline. Climate
change increases the amount of smog in the air and causes plants to produce more pollen, according to the Natural Resources
Defense Council. Those combine to make breathing harder for people, which can be especially tricky for people with asthma
and other respiratory illnesses.

20: What is the topic of the passage?

A. A global warming surprising fact B. Aggressive modem people
C. The bad effects of global warming D. A study on global warming

Part 3. Read and mark the best answer to each of the following questions from 20 to 24. (1,25 points)
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.
20. 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
21. 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.
22. The word "temporary" in paragraph 2 means ________.
A. constant B. permanent C. short-term D. long-term
23. The word “its" in paragraph 1 refers to ________?
A. two-child policy B. aging population C. retirement age D. economic
integration
24. 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.
