A striking feature of Viet Nam’s remarkable progress over the last few decades is the rapid pace of urbanisation. In 1986, there were fewer than there are 30 million urban residents. Today there are 30 million. Cities have become strong growth forces, with urban areas growing twice as fast as the national average rate, and contributing over half of the country’s gross domestic product. Viet Nam needs to reshape its urbanization process to create more efficient cities - cities that have sufficient population densities are well connected internally and regionally, and well managed. In addition, in line with Viet Nam's strong preference for social equity, cities will need to ensure inclusion of all residents, with no groups or area “left behind." Meanwhile, rural residents increasingly lag behind their urban counterparts in income and access to services, leading many to migrate to cities. Migration presents challenges for urban management but also opportunities to enhance labor mobility. Fortunately, these trends can be reversed. For example, four years ago, Alley 76 in Binh Thanh district, Ho Chi Minh City was only narrow enough for one motorbike to get through. Store owner Bui Thi Mai knows how a clean and efficient city can make or break a business. When it rained, the alley was often flooded with floating garbage and mosquitoes. Crime was increasing. Today, after undergoing major upgrading under an urban renewal project, the street is cleaner, safer and trucks carry goods to her door. Her family income has soared and her life has been completely changed. Question 25: Urbanisation in Viet Nam has _______. A. made rural areas develop along with urban ones B. mainly contributed to the country’s GDP C. made urban areas develop faster than the average D. promoted the country’s economy twice as fast as before Question 26: All of the following are necessary for efficient cities EXCEPT _______. A. good organisation B. sufficient working population C. management decision D. internal and regional connections Question 27: It can be inferred from the passage that along with urban migration_______. A. cities offer sufficient employment opportunities for migrants B. population of cities accounts for the majority of the country's C. the city authorities face both advantages and disadvantages D. people in rural areas do not suffer from poor infrastructure in the city. Question 28: The responsibility of city authorities is _______. A. to provide equal opportunities for every group of residents B. to stop the migration from the rural areas C. to leave all difficulties behind in order to move forward D. to contribute much more to the country's gross domestic product Question 29: All of the following are benefits from the urban renewal project EXCEPT that _______. A. people can have goods carried to their door B. business and the living conditions have been improved C. the neighbourhood has become cleaner and safer D. the streets and alleys will no longer be flooded From questions 35 to 40, rewrite the sentences using the given words in brackets. 1.The students must follow all the school’s regulations ESSENTIAL It........................................................................................................................ 2. .Why don’t you go to work by bus to save money ?

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death·, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony. Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000. Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges' decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes. No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War 11. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes. 30.

Staying in hotels and resorts has been a traditional part of travel since the beginning of mass tourism. But nowadays, many tourists want a more intimate experience. For this reason, they are choosing to “go native”. This often means staying in the kinds of places that local people inhabit. In big cities, you can try staying with the friend of a friend. You may end up sleeping on the couch or the floor, but the advantages outweigh the discomfort. The biggest plus is that you'll be staying with a local and seeing the city from a local perspective. Another option is house-swapping. Several websites allow you to connect with people who want to trade living situations. It's usual to exchange emails about favourite places in the city before the swap, meaning you can have a truly local experience. But of course, you can only do this if you don't mind having strangers staying in your house. For the more adventurous, staying in a native structure in an African village or a hut on the water in Vietnam or Thailand can be a real thrill. These might not even include plumbing or electricity, and that is part of the charm. The experience of dealing with oil lamps and carrying water really gives you a sense of how the people live. No matter how unadventurous you feel, you might want to consider crossing hotels off your list. Getting to know the local way of life is most valuable part of travel. And what better way is there to do this than staying where the local people actually live? 30. What is the passage mainly about? A. Adventurous holiday activitiesB. Main tourist attractions in Asia C. New holiday accommodation trendD. World heritage sites 31. The word “they” in paragraph 1 refers to _______ . A. local peopleB. touristsC. hotelsD. resorts 32. What is the biggest advantage of tourists’ going native? A. It is cheaper than staying in other kinds of accommodation.
9. B. It offers them opportunities to make new friends. C. It is more comfortable than staying in hotels and resorts. D. It enables them to experience the local lifestyle. 33. The word “charm” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______ . A. safetyB. attractionC. dangerD. price 34. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage? A. Dealing with oil lamps is the most thrilling experience for tourists to Vietnam. B. Tourists to Thailand prefer staying in a native structure to staying in a hut. C. Staying with local people is more popular than staying in hotels and resorts. D. There are several websites used for house-swapping purposes.

Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods. These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity. Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid. The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years. The implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and of droughts. These could have a harmful effect on agriculture. It is thought that this unusual warming on the Earth has been caused by so- called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet. Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world's industrialized countries. Of these summits, the most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997. There it was agreed that the most industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions. It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic deforestation. Sadly, the targets are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate changes are often still being regarded as scaremongering. 30. According to the passage, in what way did the climate changes in the ice ages differ from the modern ones? A. They occurred naturally over a long period of time. B. They were partly intended. C. They were wholly the result of human activity. D. They were fully monitored by humans. 31. The word "alarmingly" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____. A. disapprovingly B. disappointingly C. surprisingly D. worryingly 32. According to the passage, agriculture could ____. A. make the global warming more serious B. be indirectly affected by the global temperature rises C. give rise to many ecological disasters D. be directly damaged by the rises in global temperature 33. Greenhouse gases cause the warming up of the Earth because they ____. A. are emitted by car engines B. trap heat from the sun C. do not add to atmosphere pollution D. are unusual gases 34. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage? A. Carbon dioxide is one of the gases that may cause the so-called greenhouse effect B. The so-called sinks created by forests can absorb greenhouse gases. C. The problem of rapid climate change has been caused mainly by deforestation.

PLASTIC AND THE ENVIRONMENT Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago from parts of plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal and natural gas. We are using up these things so fast that the Earth’s supplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are investigating new ideas for making plastics from plants such as sweet potato, bamboo and flax. Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the planet. Some plastics can last for a long time without wearing out, and can be difficult to get rid of when they are not needed. They can remain in rubbish dumps called landfill sites for hundreds of years. Landfills can be smelly, ugly, and harmful to our planet. Recycling is a good way to get rid of unwanted plastics. Recycled waste materials can be used again to make new products. This can be difficult as different types of plastic need to be recycled in different ways. Some kinds of plastics can be melted down and used to make new things such as bags and bottles. Others can be made into fibres (strands of material) for clothing. Another way to protect the environment is to use canvas bags for shopping rather than plastic ones. A lot of plastic objects can also be reused. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times, rather than throwing them away once they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs and toys can be sold or given away to charity shops.

According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Plastic objects are useful for people without negative impacts. B. Plastics and plastic objects can be thrown away to tidy the room. C.

Newspapers and television news programs always seem to report about the bad things happening in society. However, there is a place where readers can find some good news. That place is the website called Happy News. The man behind Happy News is Byron Reese. Reese set up Happy News because he thoughtothernewssourcesweregivingpeopleanunbalancedviewoftheworld.Reesesaidabout Happy News, “The news media gives you a distorted view of the world by exaggerating bad news, misery, and despair. We’re trying to balance out thescale.” Not everyone agrees with Reese’s view, though. Many people think that news sources have a responsibility to provide news that is helpful to people. People need to know about issues or problems in today’s society. Then they are better able to make informed decisions about things that affect their daily lives. Reese said that Happy News is not trying to stop people from learning about issues or problems. Happy News is just trying to provide a balanced picture of today’s world. By the end of its first month online, Happy News had more than 70,000 unique readers. About 60 percent of those readers were women. Something else unique makes Happy News different from any of the other news or information websites that are on the Internet. Unlike many other websites, Happy News gets fan mail from its readers on a dailybasis. 28.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A striking feature of Viet Nam’s remarkable progress over the last few decades is the rapid pace of urbanization. In 1986, there were fewer than there are 30 million urban residents. Today there are 30 million. Cities have become strong growth forces, with urban areas growing twice as fast as the national average rate, and contributing over half of the country’s gross domestic product. Viet Nam needs to reshape its urbanization process to create more efficient cities - cities that have sufficient population densities are well connected internally and regionally, and well managed. In addition, in line with Viet Nam's strong preference for social equity, cities will need to ensure inclusion of all residents, with no groups or area “left behind." Meanwhile, rural residents increasingly lag behind their urban counterparts in income and access to services, leading many to migrate to cities. Migration presents challenges for urban management but also opportunities to enhance labor mobility. Fortunately, these trends can be reversed. For example, four years ago, Alley 76 in Binh Thanh district, Ho Chi Minh City was only narrow enough for one motorbike to get through. Store owner Bui Thi Mai knows how a clean and efficient city can make or break a business. When it rained, the alley was often flooded with floating garbage and mosquitoes. Crime was increasing. Today, after undergoing major upgrading under an urban renewal project, the street is cleaner, safer and trucks carry goods to her door. Her family income has soared and her life has been completely changed. Question 30. Urbanisation in Viet Nam has _______.
