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.
In recent years, the usage of mobile phones among children has surged, reflecting a broader trend in society.
According to a 2023 report by the Pew Research Center, nearly 60% of children aged 11 in the United States own a
smartphone, and this number rises significantly to over 85% by the age of 14. For many children, mobile phones have
become essential tools for entertainment, accessing educational resources, and staying connected with friends and family.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, mobile devices became crucial for remote learning, allowing students to attend online
classes and continue their studies. In this context, smartphones are increasingly seen as valuable for both social interaction
and education.
Studies show that while screen time among children aged 8-12 has increased to an average of 4 hours daily—and
over 8 hours for teenagers—time spent on physical exercise and outdoor activities has decreased. Health professionals
warn that excessive screen time can lead to problems such as eye strain, disrupted sleep patterns, and even
heightened levels of anxiety. Additionally, children spending too much time on screens may miss out on outdoor
activities which are essential for their growth.
In response to these challenges, some countries have introduced measures to regulate screen time for children. In
France, mobile phones are banned during school hours for students under 15, a policy aimed at encouraging face-to-face
ĐỀ MINH HỌA SỐ 4
social interactions. In South Korea, the government has implemented "smart hours", which limit screen time for children
at night to support healthier sleep habits.
When managed responsibly, mobile phones offer benefits. Many parents now use parental control apps to monitor
screen time, helping children enjoy technology while fostering a balanced lifestyle. These apps allow parents to set limits
on usage and restrict access to inappropriate content, ensuring a safer digital experience for children. By encouraging
healthy habits, parents can help children develop a positive relationship with technology, using it as a tool for learning and
growth rather than a distraction.
Question 23: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the reasons children use mobile phones?
A. for entertainment purposes B. to complete school homework
C. to stay connected with friends and family D. to access educational resources
Question 24: The word “crucial” in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______
A. essential B. significant C. important D. minor
Question 25: The word “their” in paragraph 2 refers to _______
A. children B. screens C. outdoor activities D. levels
Question 26: The word ‘regulate’ in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by _______
A. promote B. control C. increase D. encourage
Question 27: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
A. Health professionals state that spending moderate time on screens can still result in issues such as eye strain, disrupted
sleep patterns, and even heightened levels of anxiety.
B. Health professionals predict that spending too much time on screens may result in issues such as eye strain, disrupted
sleep patterns, and even heightened levels of anxiety.
C. Health professionals caution that spending too much time on screens may result in issues such as eye strain, disrupted
sleep patterns, and even heightened levels of anxiety.
D. Health professionals suppose that spending too much time on screens may lead to issues such as eye strain, disrupted
sleep patterns, and even heightened levels of anxiety.
Question 28: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Over 85% of children aged 11 in the United States have a smartphone.
B. During the COVID-19 pandemic, mobile devices were rarely used for remote learning.
C. In France, students under 15 are allowed to use mobile phones freely during school hours
D. Teenagers spend more than double the time on screens compared to children aged 8-12.
Question 29: In which paragraph does the writer mention an inverse relationship?
A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4
Question 30: In which paragraph does the writer describe a method for parents to manage children's screen time?

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] In recent years, plastic pollution in the ocean has emerged as a severe environmental issue. [II] Each year, over
eight million tons of plastic waste end up in our oceans, impacting marine life and ecosystems worldwide. [III] Single-use
plastic items, such as bottles, bags, and packaging, are among the main culprits, as they break down into tiny particles
known as microplastics. [IV]
One major consequence of ocean plastic pollution is its impact on marine animals. Sea creatures, including fish,
turtles, and seabirds, often mistake plastic for food, leading to severe health problems or even death. Ingested plastic can
block digestive tracts, reduce feeding, and ultimately cause starvation. Additionally, animals can become entangled in
larger plastic debris like fishing nets and plastic rings, which restrict their movement and may lead to injuries or
drowning. This not only affects individual animals but can also disrupt entire marine food chains and ecosystems.
Plastic pollution also has indirect effects on human health and economies. As fish and other marine animals ingest
microplastics, these tiny particles move up the food chain and eventually reach humans. Consuming seafood contaminated
with microplastics poses potential health risks, as harmful chemicals can accumulate in our bodies. Furthermore, polluted
ĐỀ MINH HỌA SỐ 4
beaches and coastlines can deter tourism, impacting local economies that rely on these industries for jobs and income.
Cleanup efforts are costly and challenging, often requiring substantial resources and funding.
To address ocean plastic pollution, governments, organizations, and individuals must work together. Policies such
as banning single-use plastics, promoting recycling, and encouraging sustainable alternatives can help reduce the amount
of plastic waste entering the ocean. Many individuals and organizations are already participating in beach cleanups and
spreading awareness about the issue. By making conscious choices and taking responsibility, we can mitigate the
impacts of plastic pollution and protect our oceans for future generations.
Question 31:Where in paragraph I does the following sentence best fit?
These microplastics are now found in all ocean depths, from surface waters to the seafloor, posing a serious threat
to marine biodiversity.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 32: The phrase “entangled in” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by _______
A. escaped from B. twisted in C. protected from D. engaged in
Question 33: The word “their” in paragraph 2 refers to _______
A. plastic debrisB. fishing nets C. plastic rings D. animals
Question 34: According to paragraph 3, which of the following is NOT a consequence of plastic pollution?
A. Seafood contaminated with microplastics poses health risks to humans.
B. Plastic pollution results in reduced oxygen levels in the ocean.
C. Polluted coastlines harm tourism and local economies.
D. Plastic pollution leads to increased cleanup costs for coastal areas.
Question 35: Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
A. Plastic pollution harms human health, affects tourism, and requires costly cleanup efforts.
B. Microplastics in seafood threaten human health and increase cleanup needs.
C. Contaminated seafood poses health risks and impacts tourism in coastal regions.
D. Plastic pollution leads to economic costs and harms human health through seafood.
Question 36: The word “substantial” in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______
A. considerable B. noticeable C. negligible D. massive
Question 37: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Most plastic waste in the ocean comes from biodegradable materials.
B. Plastic pollution directly affects marine animals and has indirect impacts on humans.
C. Microplastics only accumulate in shallow waters, affecting coastal marine life.
D. Consuming seafood contaminated with microplastics does not affect human health.
Question 38: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Taking responsibility and reducing waste will allow us to prevent plastic pollution and save our oceans permanently.
B. We can reduce the causes of plastic pollution and make our oceans safe for future generations by increasing our
awareness.
C. Taking immediate action for the environment will help protect future generations from plastic pollution and keep our
oceans clean.
D. We can lessen the effects of plastic pollution and protect our oceans for future generations by making thoughtful
decisions and taking responsibility.
Question 39: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Collective actions are necessary to effectively reduce ocean plastic pollution
B. International cooperation is the most critical factor in resolving plastic pollution
C. Reducing plastic waste in oceans depends on limiting individual use of single-use plastics
D. Increased awareness alone will lead to a significant decrease in ocean plastic pollution
Question 40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. Ocean plastic pollution endangers marine species and impacts human health through contaminated seafood, with
cleanup efforts essential to managing the effects.
ĐỀ MINH HỌA SỐ 4
B. Plastic waste in oceans poses risks to marine animals, damages tourism, and leads to costly cleanup efforts, which can
be addressed by increased awareness and individual action.
C. Ocean plastic pollution affects both marine life and coastal communities; individual actions, like reducing single-use
plastics, can help address the problem.

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.
In the digital age, the role of newspapers has evolved significantly. Traditionally, newspapers were the primary
source of information, providing news, opinion pieces, and advertisements to a wide audience. However, with the rise of
the internet and social media, the newspaper industry has had to adapt to new technologies and changing consumer habits.
Many people now turn to online platforms for instant access to news, which has led to a decline in print subscriptions.
Despite the challenges posed by digital media, newspapers continue to play a crucial role in society. They provide
in-depth analysis, investigative journalism, and local coverage that is often not available through digital-only platforms.
Print newspapers still hold significant credibility among many readers, especially older generations who value the
physical format. They are also important in reaching audiences in areas with limited internet access, ensuring that all
communities stay informed.
Moreover, newspapers have adapted by embracing digital platforms to reach a broader audience. Many major
newspapers now have online versions, offering news articles, multimedia content, and interactive features. This shift has
allowed newspapers to maintain their relevance and remain competitive in the digital landscape. The move to
digital has also led to the rise of subscription-based models, where readers pay for premium content, creating new revenue
streams for traditional media outlets.
However, the digital transformation has not been without its challenges. Newspapers face increasing competition
from social media platforms, blogs, and online news outlets, which often provide quicker updates and attract younger
audiences. Additionally, the rise of fake news and misinformation on digital platforms has made it more difficult for
traditional newspapers to maintain their position as trusted sources of information. Despite these challenges, newspapers
continue to play a vital role in providing accurate and reliable news in an ever-changing media landscape.

apparent. [III] As younger generations grow up with modern technology and global connectivity, they frequently
experience a world vastly different from that of their parents and grandparents. [IV]
One of the key reasons behind the generation gap is the rapid pace of technological change. Older generations, who
grew up in a world without the internet, smartphones, or social media, often find it difficult to relate to the digital
lifestyles of younger people. On the other hand, younger generations have been exposed to technology from a young age,
shaping their values and communication styles. Additionally, differences in social values, such as views on work, family,
and personal freedom, also contribute to the gap. These differing experiences create misunderstandings and a lack of
common ground between generations.
The consequences of the generation gap can be significant, especially in family dynamics and workplaces. In
families, the divide can lead to conflicts between parents and children, as each generation struggles to understand the
other's worldview. In the workplace, generational differences may affect teamwork, communication, and productivity.
Younger employees may prioritize flexibility and innovation, while older generations may value stability and traditional
work ethics. These differences can lead to friction, decreased collaboration, and a sense of alienation among coworkers.
To bridge the generation gap, open communication and mutual understanding are essential. Both older and younger
generations need to be open to learning from each other and appreciating different perspectives. For instance, older
generations can offer wisdom and experience, while younger generations can share their knowledge of technology and
new trends. Encouraging intergenerational dialogue through family discussions, mentoring programs, or team-building
activities in the workplace can help foster respect and collaboration. By recognizing and embracing their differences,
both generations can work together to create a more harmonious society.
