Read the following passage about a new tradition across cultures and mark the letter A, B, C, or to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Shantelle Davis is a nine-year-old girl in New York. On a cold night in December, her family is
standing around the kitchen table while she lights a candle. The table is decorated with baskets of fruit and
vegetables and ears of corn for Shantelle and her two brothers. Tonight is the first night of Kwanzaa, and
Shantelle is spending the holiday with her family.
Kwanzaa is very unusual because it was started by one man. In 1966, an American named Maulana
Karenga wanted a holiday for African-Americans to honour their culture and traditions. So he used words
and customs from Africa to create a new celebration. At first, a few American families had small
celebrations at home. Now, there are also Kwanzaa events in schools and public places, and it has spread to
other countries like Canada and Jamaica.
The main symbol of Kwanzaa is a candle holder with seven candles, one for each of the principles of
Kwanzaa. Each night, a family member lights one of the candles and talks about the idea it represents: being
together, being yourself, helping each other, sharing, having a goal, creating, and believing. The parents also
pour drinks to honour family members who have died. On the last night of Kwanzaa, there is a big dinner
with African food, and children receive small presents.
Some people still don't believe that Kwanzaa is a real holiday because it's so new. But other people
say that customs and celebrations are always changing and that Kwanzaa shows what is important in
people's lives.

Read the following passage about a dancing man and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
For Sean O'Brien, it was just an ordinary night out with friends. He knew that people sometimes
mocked him for being overweight, and he was usually able to shrug it off. But this time, as well as laughing
at him in person, someone decided to publicly fat-shame him by posting a video of him dancing online, with
a hurtful comment. Sean was completely unaware of it, but the post about him was shared widely, and it
prompted a wave of abuse from immature Internet trolls.
However, as well as the cyberbullies, other people were watching. A group of women in California,
who were campaigning to encourage people to have a positive body image whatever their size, decided to
take action. They put out a message on Twitter, inviting Sean on an all-expenses- paid trip from London to
Los Angeles, to meet and dance with them. When Sean's friends first told him about the search for 'dancing
man', he figured it was a bit of nonsense which would soon blow over, and decided not to bother doing
anything about it.
[I] Sean rethought his decision, made contact, and the women - all 1,700 of them - started raising
money to throw him an extra-special party in LA. [II] He went to the party in California. Sean had assumed
that just a few people would turn up, but he realised his mistake as soon as he saw over 1,000 people
queuing to get into the nightclub! Sean danced all night and the story of how he and the women's group in
California took a stance against cyberbullying was reported around the world. [III] As a result of the event,
some of the women set up Dance Free Movement, an online forum where anyone who felt they had been
bullied or victimised could receive support. [IV] The 'dancing man' himself has become a fundraiser for
several anti-bullying charities.
Sean commented in an interview at the time that he was amazed that something which started out so
badly, had become such a positive movement. He said that he had actually never really thought about the
people who posted the original images, concluding that they must have their own insecurities, to put the
spotlight on someone else so maliciously. Sean certainly had the last laugh. We are often told that the best
idea is not to give bullies any attention, but it may be that the best way to deal with cyberbullying is to act as
these women did and be brave enough to make it clear that we are uncomfortable with this kind of
behaviour, that we disagree with what is being said and that bullying is completely unacceptable.
(Adapted from High Note)
Question 31. The word prompted in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to .
A. triggered B. enacted C. compared D. discouraged
Question 32. According to paragraph 1, Sean O'Brien didn’t realise that .
A. he was teased by some of his acquaintances for being overweight
B. he was laughed by some Internet users for his awkward behaviour
C. he became a victim of body shaming on the Internet
D. his dance video was leaked by his casual friends
Question 33. The word them in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. Sean’s friends B. women C. expenses D. cyberbullies
Question 34. The phrase blow over in paragraph 2 mostly means .
A. become a controversial topic B. incite intense hatred
C. gradually become less strong D. provide genuine pleasure

Read the following passage about a year without technology and mark the letter A, B, C, or to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
The next time you're out in a public place, like a park or a restaurant, look around you. What is happening? Some
people are surfing the internet on their phones. Others are wearing headphones, listening to music on their MP3 players.
That's just the way life is today. We all spend a fair amount of our time connected to technology.
Now imagine living in a world without smartphones, tablets or any of the electronic gadgets we take for granted
these days. There's no internet and you go to the library and look at a book when you want to find anything out. You
play outside with friends in the real world instead of playing online video games in virtual worlds. There are no texts, no
DVDs and no email. Welcome to 1986!
That's the world the McMillan family from Ontario, Canada, decided to live in for a year. Blair, 27, Morgan, 28,
and their two sons Trey and Denton, aged five and three, got rid of their cable TV, smartphones, internet, new games
console, digital camera, DVD player and sat nav, and instead used an old TV, a radio, old telephones, a VHS video
player, an old games console and maps. They decided to try it after seeing how their young children were becoming
dependent on technology. They aren't alone. More and more parents today worry about the effect technology is having
on their children, particularly very young children.
The McMillans decided to get back to basics to see how things have changed. So how did they find their year
without modern technology? ‘I thought Blair was mad when he suggested doing this whole thing,’ says Morgan, but it's
made me realise how much time we wasted. We seem much more relaxed now, not checking in on email or Facebook
all the time.’ The McMillans are now back in the present with a different attitude to today's technology. Blair said, ‘I'm
not anti-technology. I wanted to taste, and I wanted my kids to taste what it would be like without it, and to see if we
could actually do it.”
(Adapted from Optimise)

Read the following passage about globalisation and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 31 to 40.
The world's population reached five billion on the day I was born. That was in Indonesia back in 1987, and my
parents were amazed that there were so many people on the planet. However, since then the population has continued to
increase.
The growth of our human population is extraordinary. For more than two million years, humans lived with no
permanent home, finding plants to eat and hunting animals for meat. Then, just 10,000 years ago, we invented
agriculture. At that time, there were only about five million humans, but this figure quickly doubled. The population
reached a billion in 1805, and since then it has multiplied seven times.
[I] The human population has never been bigger, but in some ways the planet seems to be getting smaller. [II] In
the past, travellers from Europe to Indonesia spent months at sea. [III] When you arrived in another country a hundred
years ago, you saw unfamiliar styles of clothing and architecture and encountered a completely different culture. [IV]
In many places today, clothing and new buildings are very similar, and people enjoy the same sports, music, films and
TV shows. We also buy the same products from huge, global companies. In our different continents, we are starting to
live the same lives. Even the languages that we use are becoming more global. There are around seven thousand
languages in use today, but the number is decreasing fast.
The same thing is happening around the world. Experts think that the number of different languages will halve to
just 3,500 by the end of this century. Where will it stop? Will there be a time in the future when Earth's billions all
speak just one language, and there are no cultural differences to divide us? Perhaps the planet would be more peaceful if
this happened, but I must admit that the idea is quite depressing. I prefer to think that, as our population grows, we can
celebrate not the similarity but the fascinating diversity of the human race.
(Adapted from Insight)

Cleaning the Air
Air pollution is a major issue that has serious effects on our health. It is much worse in cities. Although some
measures have been taken, more ones need to be done. One city that is taking big steps to reduce air pollution is
Birmingham. It wants to create a Clean Air Zone that will improve the air quality for everyone in the city.
The city plans to do this by improving the public transport system. There are long-term plans over the next twenty
years to build three new metro lines and create fast bus routes across the city as well as open new train stations and
15
Nguyễn Hà 2025

improve the railway lines.


Other plans are already in place. The city council is encouraging people to cycle more and only use their cars when
there is more than one person in each vehicle. It is also introducing a programme to help people and businesses buy
electric vehicles.
The council has also come up with ideas to help manage traffic. Their solutions aim to make traffic flow smoothly,
so there are fewer traffic jams causing increased traffic fumes. The city centre will become a Clean Air Zone in June
this year and people will have to pay to drive their cars here. This will reduce the amount of nitrogen dioxide and make
the air cleaner for the people who live and work there. The city is already on its way to making the air cleaner for its
citizens and improving their health.

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.
Keeping up with what is happening in the world is generally seen as an essential part of being a well-informed and
educated citizen. Watching, listening to, or reading the news can satisfy our curiosity, make us think, help us make
choices, and even avoid danger. However, people are increasingly wondering if staying up to date with what is
going on is good for us.
The frequency, speed and way we access news has completely changed over the past few decades. Whereas
previously most newspapers were published daily and TV and radio news broadcasts were limited, now we are
constantly bombarded with news from all sides.
[I] The content of news reports is almost always negative. [II] Throughout history, our survival has depended on
noticing threats and avoiding danger, so the human brain is hard-wired to seek out information that is frightening or
alarming. [III] It is about humans paying more attention to negative things because that keeps us alive in the past and
this is reflected in the news we consume. [IV] In addition, because people now use smartphones to record events live,
the news we see has become far more graphic and shocking.
Recent studies have shown that our news habits have disadvantages for our physical and emotional health. In one
survey, over 50 per cent of Americans reported that the news caused them stress and anxiety, often causing tiredness or
poor sleep. Research by psychology expert Graham Davey has also proved that watching terrible or sad news on TV can
worsen people's moods and make them worry more about their own lives. Exposure to this ever-increasing bad news
can take a toll on our positivity and affect our health.

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.
Finding the right job is very important, but not so easy for job seekers. If you can choose a suitable job for yourself,
you are motivated to do that job and develop your career path. Below are some things for people to take into account
when choosing the right job.
Working hours are considered among the most important factors when you choose a job. Many people prefer
a nine-to-five job, so they can have a proper work-life balance. For example, working parents may expect to work from
19
Nguyễn Hà 2025

9 am to 5 pm so that they can take their children to school in the morning or pick them up in the afternoon. Others may
consider a job with flexible working hours, so they can do things they enjoy, like pursuing hobbies, educating
themselves or spending more time with loved ones.
Another key factor you should consider is salary and other rewards. The salary is a huge part of the package
employers offer, but it does not mean that you should always choose a job based solely on it. Instead, you should opt for
a job with a salary that can cover your cost of living and support you and your family comfortably. In addition to
benefits such as health insurance and paid leave, you should also check if there are any perks on offer, for example, if
working from home is allowed or if you get any employee discounts.
Finally, it is essential to consider the working environment and opportunities for professional development. If you
have supportive managers and colleagues, you will be motivated to work harder and overcome any challenges.
Opportunities for growth and promotion in a job should be considered carefully.
(Adapted from English Workbook 12 – Global Success)
Question 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the factors to be considered when choosing a job?

A. When deciding on a job, the schedule of work ranks among the most significant factors.
B. Among the factors of a job, working hours are of the greatest importance
C. Working hours must be given priority over any other factors when we select a career.
D. People believe that the schedule of work is the most important factor, but they’re wrong.

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.
Biodiversity on our planet is rapidly declining mainly due to human activities such as climate change and pollution.
That is why governments and organisations have taken measures to protect wildlife and stop biodiversity loss. The
emergence of artificial intelligence has dramatically changed wildlife protection. Conservationists are now turning to it
to find solutions to the rapid loss of plants and animals. One of the biggest threats to endangered species is poaching
for commercial purposes. [I] However, rangers, whose job is to take care of such large areas, find it hard to monitor
wildlife and prevent poaching. [II] That is why many national parks are using AI cameras to track both animals and
poachers.
[III] Furthermore, the cameras can send real-time updates to rangers' phones and alert them to any illegal activities
within minutes. The cutting-edge technology is even effective at night when poachers operate under cover of darkness.
[IV] The AI cameras are designed to automatically notice any illegal cars or boats entering forests or other protected
areas.
Another factor responsible for the decline in biodiversity is habitat loss. When natural habitats or environmental
conditions change, it's nearly impossible for scientists to identify the changes until they discover strong evidence. For
example, some countries have faced increasing pressure from climate change and economic growth, and have lost a
huge amount of surface water. However, the situation has only been brought to light with the help of artificial
intelligence. Without AI, scientists could not have identified and analysed the changes nationwide. AI has played an
important role in collecting data and analysing the factors affecting wildlife, thus helping governments and
organisations respond to critical situations in the quickest way possible.
(Adapted from English Workbook 12 – Global Success)
Question 31. Where in paragraph 2 does the following sentence best fit?
Therefore, it is essential to stop this illegal activity in forests and nature reserves.

Question 34. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the causes of biodiversity decline?
A. climate change B. habitat loss C. poaching D. economic growth
Question 35. The word respond in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______ .
A. oversee B. reply C. ignore D. react
Question 36. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
A. Climate change and economic growth have no significant impact on habitat loss, and AI is irrelevant.
B. Habitat loss is the biggest biodiversity decline, but AI is not useful for tracking environmental changes.
C. Habitat loss is one factor contributing to biodiversity decline, but AI has helped identify and analyse these changes.
D. AI has only helped identify habitat loss caused by human activities, not natural environmental changes.
Question 37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. AI cameras have helped track poachers and wildlife, making conservation efforts more effective.
B. Despite efforts, governments and organisations have not managed to reduce biodiversity decline.
C. AI has yet to demonstrate effectiveness in aiding conservation efforts or tracking poachers.
D. Poaching is no longer a threat to endangered species due to advancements in technology.
Question 38. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
One of the biggest threats to endangered species is poaching for commercial purposes.
A. Illegal poaching for profit is a major threat to endangered species.
B. Hunting is a minor issue compared to any other problems facing animals.
C. Poaching affects endangered species less than other environmental factors.
D. Commercial poaching is less harmful than poaching for subsistence.
Question 39. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. AI mainly helps monitor and alert rather than directly solving biodiversity issues.
B. Poaching and climate change are no longer major threats to biodiversity thanks to AI.
C. The use of AI in conservation has been focused on addressing pollution and climate change.
D. AI's main role in conservation is to help scientists monitor wildlife behaviours.
Question 40. Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. AI's role in conservation is focused on improving education and awareness of biodiversity issues.

Traditional Media
Before the invention of newspapers, the main source of news was word of mouth. Any writings and drawings
were done by hand. Although printing presses had existed in eastern Asia, it was Gutenberg’s invention in Europe in
1453 that made printing faster and books more accessible. It reduced the cost and size of printed books and made them
the first form of mass media affordable to less wealthy people. Gutenberg’s invention also quickened the spread of
discoveries and information, and promoted literacy in Europe.
The printing press led to the rise of printed newspapers that appeared regularly. The first newspapers developed
from around 1612 and in a short period of time, they became very popular in Europe and the European colonies. In the
19th century, they also appeared in Asia.
Newspapers and magazines are still very popular today. Although most of them have online versions, many people
continue to read print media, which is considered more credible than digital media.
In the 1920s, when radio, television, and video were introduced, the phrase “the media” began to be used. Black
and white television quickly became popular in the 1950s, and in the 1960s colour broadcasts started in many countries.

Read the following passage about flexible working hours and mark the letter A, B, C, or to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
The quick development of digital technology has enabled businesses to come up with new working schedules
called flexible working hours. In reality, they offer lots of benefits and different drawbacks.
One of the key advantages of flexible working hours is the enhanced work-life balance it provides. Employees can
tailor their schedules to accommodate personal commitments, such as family quality time, leading to improved overall
well-being. This flexibility also allows parents to actively participate in their children's activities and helps maintain a
healthy work-life integration. Additionally, flexible working hours can boost creativity and productivity. When
employees have the freedom to choose their work hours, they are more likely to be motivated and engaged. They
can align their working hours with their peak productivity times, resulting in better performance.
However, flexible working hours are not without their drawbacks. An inflexible work environment may still
require some level of consistency, making it challenging for certain roles. Coordination could be difficult, leading to
potential delays in a team's completion. Additionally, maintaining consistent communication within a team can be
challenging when team members are working on different schedules, so they might have to wait for others to reply.
Another drawback is the potential for employees to overwork themselves. In a flexible working environment,
individuals might struggle to set boundaries and find themselves working longer hours than they should. This can lead
to burnout, negatively impacting their health and productivity.
In conclusion, flexible working hours come with advantages and disadvantages. Striking a balance between
flexibility and structure is essential for both employees and organisations to build a healthy workplace.

Read the following passage about Tiger Mother and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Is there a right way to bring up children? Some parents read guides to find an answer; many just follow their
instincts. Whatever they do, a doubt always remains: could I have done a better job?
[I] A recent contribution to the subject is Amy Chua's controversial book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, which
describes the approach to child-rearing of an ambitious Chinese parent living in the West.
[II] She says they are always praising their children for every effort they make, even if the result is coming last in a
race or playing a piano piece badly. [III] These are the kind of parents who will give in to their children's demands to go
out and play rather than do their homework if they protest loud enough. [IV]
The tiger mother method is very different and the key is total control. Tiger mothers will accept nothing less
than 'A' grades in every subject - failure to achieve these is just proof that they have not worked hard enough. They will
encourage not with praise and reward, but by punishing and shaming. Chua told her own daughter that she would take
her doll's house to a charity shop if she failed to master a difficult piano piece. She even rejected a homemade birthday
card from her daughter Sophia because she had drawn it in a hurry.
But that highlights another difference, says Chua, which is directness and honesty. A tiger mother will not hesitate
to tell their child that they are lazy, whereas Western parents are always telling their children not to worry, and that they
will do better next time, even if they think they have been lazy. The constant nagging of the tiger mother, and the
banning of TV and computer games, seems harsh, but perhaps it works. Chua's children have not rebelled, and they
don't resent their strict upbringing. They regularly get the top grades at school and are proficient at violin and piano-
stereotypical symbols of success, critics would say. By contrast, children with more freedom and more laid-back parents
will often lack self-discipline and will fail to push themselves to achieve more.
(Adapted from Life)
Question 31. The word they in paragraph 1 refers to _______ .
A. demands B. guides C. children D. parents
Question 32. As stated in paragraph 2, what is indicated about Amy Chua's book?
A. It involves the best upbringing method.
B. It has produced positive reactions.
C. It has been a subject of discussion recently.
D. It removes all the doubts about child-rearing.
Question 33. Where in paragraph 2 does the following sentence best fit?
According to Chua, Western mothers are far too soft on their children.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 34. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
The tiger mother method is very different and the key is total control.
A. The tiger mother approach is distinct, with complete control being its core principle.
B. Were total control not present, the tiger mother method would not be different.
C. Not only is the tiger mother method entirely based on control, but it is also distinct.
28
Nguyễn Hà 2025

D. If a mother applies strict control, her parenting method must be the tiger mother method.
Question 35. The word master in paragraph 3 mostly means _______
A. revise B. grasp C. capture D. interact
Question 36. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
A. Tiger mothers demand their children’s perfection, ranging from excellent academic results to mastering challenging
piano pieces.
B. Chua's method focuses on strict parenting, requiring children to prioritise perfection in certain aspects of life.
C. The tiger mother approach promotes perfection while preventing children from learning at their own pace.
D. The tiger mother method emphasises total control, demanding perfection, punishing failure, and rejecting mediocrity.
Question 37. The word resent in paragraph 4 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______ .
A. oppose B. express C. reject D. support
Question 38. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Amy Chua does not share the idea of child-rearing adopted by Western mothers.
B. Parents may choose different approaches to bringing up their children.
C. Tiger mothers motivate their children with punishment and shame rather than praise.
D. The relentless nagging of the tiger mother does sound extreme but has proved effective.
Question 39. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The tiger mother approach inevitably puts invisible pressure on Amy Chua’s children.
B. Many people share a belief that success is linked to excellent academic performance.
C. The primary principle of the tiger mother approach lies in frankness and sincerity.
D. Giving students too much freedom will inevitably harm them in the long run.
Question 40. Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. Chua claims tiger mothers demand perfection through harsh discipline, while Western parents offer constant praise
and allow their children freedom, definitely leading to lower self-discipline and less academic success.
B. The Tiger Mother approach emphasises controlling children with punishments and shaming, whereas Western
parents focus on praise and support, even when this means that their children will not get on in life.
C. The tiger mother approach that uses strict rules and direct criticism to push children towards success is regarded as
the best way of child-rearing, unlike Western parents, who focus more on encouraging effort through praise and
freedom.
D. Amy Chua's Tiger Mother method promotes strict control, punishment, and honesty to ensure academic and personal
success, contrasting with Western parenting, which emphasises praise, freedom, and leniency.

nations - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - each with its own cultural heritage. Back in the 17th century,
Britain became a global power and gained an enormous empire. By the 1920s, the empire was home to 458 million
people - a fifth of the world’s population! But forty years later, most of the colonies had gained their independence, and
immigrants from Britain’s former colonies had begun to arrive in the UK and contribute to its multicultural society.
The longest-established ethnic minority in Britain is the black Caribbean population. After the Second World War,
there was a labour shortage in the UK and people from Jamaica and Trinidad, former British colonies, were encouraged
to come and work in Britain. In 1948, five hundred came over on the steamship Empire Windrush, and throughout the
following decade, thousands more arrived.
Another wave of immigration to the UK occurred in the 1960s and 1970s. India and Pakistan were formerly part
of the British Empire, and many people arrived from those countries. In previous decades, Indians and Pakistanis had
also gone to work in British colonies in Africa.
But after those African countries gained independence, Asians were forced to leave and came to the UK. Asians in
Britain formed a close community and, on the whole, retained their own customs and languages. Since the expansion of
the European Union in 2004, the UK has seen more immigrants from continental Europe. Most come to work in Britain
and then return home after a few years, but others have chosen to settle in their new homeland.

answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Kai Kensavaong will never again walk along the muddy lanes of Sop On, the village in southern Laos where she
was born. Her old home now lies at the bottom of a reservoir of brown water created to feed a hydroelectric power
plant, the first to be funded by the World Bank for over twenty years.
The World Bank stopped financing hydroelectric dam projects in developing countries twenty years ago because of
criticism that such projects were harming local communities and the environment. But Nam Theun 2- a 39-metre-high
dam on the Mekong River that generates over 1,000 megawatts of electricity - is the showpiece for the bank's new
policy of supporting sustainable hydropower projects. For Laos, it is part of a longer-term strategy to revitalise the
economy and become the battery of South-East Asia.
In 2010 the dam brought $5.6 million in sales of electricity and it is estimated that during the next 25 years Nam
Theun 2 will generate around $2 billion in revenue to Laos, one of Asia's poorest countries, since most of the electricity
will be exported to its power-hungry neighbour, Thailand. Seventeen villages in the flooded area have now been rebuilt
and the 6,200 people - mostly farmers - who lived in them have been retrained to make a living from the reservoir.
[I] Environmental and human rights groups warn that the dam will have a negative impact on water quality and fish
and that the local people who were relocated after the area was flooded may not be able to support themselves

economically in future. [II] 'People are happy with these new amenities. [III] However, the real problem is how to
restore sustainable livelihoods for communities who used to rely on the natural resources - forests, fish and grazing
lands for their animals - now that they've lost these,' says Ikuko Matsumoto, programme director for the environmental
group, International Rivers. [IV]
But the World Bank says it is responsive to these problems. A 4,100-square-kilometre protected area has been
established around the dam to safeguard flora and fauna. It admits though that rebuilding the lives of the villagers is not
a short-term process and everyone is trying to learn and readjust as they go along.
(Adapted from Life)

A. Her family used it as a place to store water.
B. It was the first home to be funded by the World Bank.
C. It was located near a hydroelectric power plant.
D. It disappeared following the creation of a dam.
Question 32. The word showpiece in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______ .

Question 34. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?
A. The World Bank funds the Nam Theun 2 dam in Laos, a 39-meter structure generating 1,000 megawatts for
Southeast Asia.

supports sustainable projects like Nam Theun 2 in Laos.
C. Laos aims to become the battery of Southeast Asia by building large dams like Nam Theun 2, generating over 1,000
megawatts of power.
D. The Nam Theun 2 dam on the Mekong River is a controversial project criticised for harming local communities and
the environment despite generating 1,000 megawatts.

B. Environmental groups criticise the Nam Theun 2 dam for its negative impact on water quality, fish populations, and
the livelihoods of relocated villagers who have lost access to natural resources.
C. The Nam Theun 2 dam, funded by the World Bank after a 20-year hiatus, generates significant revenue for Laos but
has displaced villagers and raised environmental concerns about long-term sustainability.
D. The World Bank's Nam Theun 2 dam project in Laos has successfully generated over $2 billion in revenue,
transforming Laos into the battery of Southeast Asia and providing new homes for displaced villagers.

Read the following passage about AI-integrated games and mark the letter A, B, C, or to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
The gaming industry has developed since the 1990s. However, since game producers started applying AI to different
kinds of games, gaming experiences have changed dramatically, making gaming more challenging and intriguing.
The most popular kind of game is first-person shooter in which gamers choose some main characters that have some
special skills or equipment and join some battles with other non-playable characters (NPC) that are controlled by AI.
There are usually two sides, either of which gamers in a team have to fight for. The NPC can make real-time casual talk
based on how the gamer-controlled characters react. For example, if a character is blocking an NPC's way, the NPC will
say nicely "Please move out of my way.", complain or get annoyed. Playing in a team, gamers can notice how their
teammates (the NPC) react to different situations. As a result, gamers find first-person shooters integrated with AI
highly interactive because they feel a sense of support and belonging.
Fighting games are the second most popular kind of game in which gamers select a character who has special skills,
moves or weapons to fight another AI-controlled character in a one-to-one combat. AI has been integrated into several
games in order to increase the challenge of each fight. AI characters can react quickly to the actions of gamer-controlled
characters, defending, avoiding or even counter attacking in response. In other words, AI can analyse how its opponent
behaves, and then it adapts quickly. As a result, gamers are required to come up with new strategies to outsmart the AI-
controlled opponents.
Being a crucial part of gaming, AI has revolutionised gaming experiences and opened up new possibilities for gaming.
With future technological advancements, AI will keep playing a significant role in the world of gaming.

Read the following passage about a land of longevity and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
The first thing you notice about Ushi Okushima is her laugh. It fills the room with pure joy. This rainy afternoon, she
sits comfortably wrapped in a blue kimono. Her thick hair is combed back from her suntanned face, revealing alert
green eyes. Her smooth hands lie folded peacefully in her lap. At her feet sit her friends, Setsuko and Matsu Taira,
cross-legged on a tatami mat drinking tea. [I] Ushi has recently taken a new job. She also tried to run away from home
after a dispute with her daughter, Kikue. [II] Not long ago, she started wearing perfume, too. [III] When asked about
the perfume, she jokes that she has a new boyfriend. Predictable behaviour for a young woman, perhaps, but Ushi is
103. [IV]
With an average life expectancy of 78 years for men and 86 years for women, Okinawans are among the world’s
longest-lived people. This is undoubtedly due in part to Okinawa’s warm and inviting climate and scenic beauty.
Senior citizens living in these islands tend to enjoy years free from disabilities. Okinawans have very low rates of cancer
and heart disease compared to seniors in the United States. They are also less likely to develop dementia in old age, says
Craig Wilcox of the Okinawa Centenarian Study.
A lean diet of food grown on the island and a philosophy of moderation – “eat until your stomach is 80 percent full” -
may also be factors. Ironically, this healthy way of eating was born of hardship. Ushi Okushima grew up barefoot and
poor; her family grew sweet potatoes, which formed the core of every meal. During World War II, when the men of the
island joined the army, Ushi and her friend Setsuko fled to the centre of the island with their children. “We experienced
terrible hunger,” Setsuko recalls.
Many older Okinawans belong to a moai, a mutual support network that provides financial, emotional, and social help
throughout life. Ikigai may be another key to their success. The word translates roughly to “that which makes one’s life
worth living,” and it is something that is different for each person. “My ikigai is right here,” says Ushi with a slow
sweep of her hand that indicates her friends Setsuko and Matsu. "If they die, I will wonder why I am living."

[III]. People of all ages enjoy making and watching TikTok videos, which can be funny, educational, or creative [IV].

and other viral activities. These trends can spread quickly, reaching millions of people in a short time. Because of this,
TikTok has influenced music charts, fashion, and even language. Songs that go viral on TikTok often become hits on
other platforms too.
The app is also a space for education and advocacy. Many creators use TikTok to share knowledge about

issues and promote positive change.

However, TikTok has faced some criticism and challenges. Concerns about privacy and data security have led to
scrutiny from governments. Despite these issues, TikTok still remains one of the most downloaded apps in the world.

Read the following passage about a browsing charge and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
A health food shop in Adelaide, Australia, has decided to charge customers $5 for "just looking". The problem is
that customers keep coming into the shop and leaving without buying anything. "They pretend to be interested in a
product and ask for advice," says Kate Reeves, the shop owner, "but they usually don't buy anything."
This new phenomenon is called "showrooming". People visit a shop, examine a product, and then buy it online,
where it is cheaper. Kate says she spends hours every day talking about products with customers. "I can't stand working
and not getting paid," she says. "No one can make me work for free!" Everyone avoids paying more than they have to,
but customers fail to realise that Kate's prices are mostly the same as in larger stores and on websites. They prefer to
shop elsewhere as they expect to find the product at a lower price. "If customers choose to buy something, I return
the $5 fee," says Kate.
Many shops face the same problem, and some may end up introducing a similar charge. The danger is that it risks
putting customers off. But Kate in Adelaide says it has made no difference to her business.

Read the following passage about stars of the vlogsphere and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Helicopters circled the sky above Piccadilly Circus as the police officers below struggled to control the thousands
of fans on the streets outside the bookstore. Who were the thousands of fans waiting for? That latest pop sensation? No,
a 'vlogger' - a video blogger.
What makes vloggers so popular? Successful vloggers share some common characteristics. [I] They are outgoing,
quick-witted and spontaneous in front of their webcams. There is also a lot of interaction with the audience and
feedback on their videos. [II] This means vloggers can adapt the content of their videos to keep their viewers happy.
[III] It is material that is made by young people for young people without any intrusion from media corporations. [IV]
All these ingredients have created a two-way relationship between vloggers and their subscribers based on shared
interests and trust that cannot be found between the providers and users of other media.
However, it appears that those shared interests and that trust might become negatively affected by money.
Some of the big-name vloggers can earn up to £20,000 for displaying an advertisement on their channel. They also earn
a lot for mentioning or reviewing a product in a vlog. About 1,000 vloggers around the world earn at least £100,000 a
year from their YouTube income. And profits are sometimes earned at the expense of honesty.
So, will vlogs go the way of many TV programmes and films? Not according to the vloggers, who emphasise their
creative independence over making money. However, Zoella, one of the few vloggers in the public eye in Britain,
caused a scandal after publishing a book and claiming that it had always been her dream to write a novel. Shortly later,
she had to admit that she had not written it alone and her name was just being used to sell it. Many media experts saw it
as a sign that vlogging had lost its innocence and that large media corporations were taking control.
