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.
Around the world, Rio de Janeiro is famous for its beautiful beaches, and Carnival celebration. But the city is also known for its poor areas, known as favelas. For years, many favelas had high poverty and crime rates. However, things are starting to change.
In the past, favelas received little government support. Neighbourhood residents had to build their own homes and streets, while gangs and guns were common. Now, a new government plan is changing that. Thousands of police officers are being sent into favelas to remove gangs. In some areas, the plan is working - crime is down, kids are playing outside again, new buildings are going up, and more city services are available. “In 20 years,” says a police officer Leonardo Nogueira, “the children here will be different people.”
Police influence is changing the favelas, but something else is, too. Today, more Brazilians are moving into these neighbourhoods because housing is expensive in other parts of Rio. “Favelas are a place for young doctors without money to get started and young architects to start working,” explains Simone Miranda, a Rio tour guide. In the past, favela residents felt different - separated from the rest of Rio. “But now,” says Miranda, “they feel part of the society of Brazil.”
Life is improving in the favelas, but there are still challenges. In some areas, poverty rates are still high. As students, families, and foreigners move into the favelas, property costs skyrocket. In some areas, housing has more than doubled in price. Despite this, favela residents are hopeful. If Rio can develop these favelas for all residents – both poor and middle classes – the city could become a model for other cities with similar problems.
(Adapted from ngl.cengage.com)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
The flag, the most common symbol of national identity in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. The traditional flag of fabric is still used to mark buildings, ships, and diplomatic cars of nations, but its visual design makes it adaptable for other roles as well. Most flags have a compact, rectangular shape and distinct visual symbolism. Their strong colors and geometric patterns are usually instantly recognizable even if miniaturized to less than a square centimeter. Images of flags can thus serve as identifying icons on airliners, television broadcasts, and computer displays.
Despite its simplicity, the national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. It is, rather, the product of millennia of development in many corners of the globe. Historians believe it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to indicate wind direction. Early human societies used very fragile shelters and boats. Their food sources were similarly vulnerable to disruption. For all these reasons, they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.
(I) Some nations, particularly those whose colors and emblems date back several hundred years, have different flags for different official uses. (II) For example, the flag of Poland is a simple rectangle with a white upper half and red lower half. (III) They originated as the colors of the Piast family, which during its rule displayed a crest bearing a white eagle on a red field. (IV) Homage is paid to the Piast Dynasty in the Polish ensign, the flag officially used at sea. Unlike the familiar plain flag flown on land, the ensign has a red shield with a white eagle centered on its upper white stripe.
(Adapted from Cracking the TOEFL iBT)
Question 31.
The word “miniaturized” in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ___________.
A. enlarged B. reduced C. divided D. maintained
Question 32.
According to paragraph 1, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a place where the flag is present?
A. planes B. TV programs C. national squares D. diplomatic vehicles
Question 33.
Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 1?
A. While being one of the most ancient symbols of identity, the flag is now not as recognizable as they were in the past because of digital media.
B. Television broadcasts continue to use the flag, an ancient symbol of identity because its design is distinct and easily recognizable.
C. The flag, an ancient symbol of identity, remains widely used for different purposes in the modern world due to its distinct, recognizable design.
D. Having been used for centuries as a symbol of identity, the flag has gradually lost its original purposes and is now mainly used on digital media.
Question 34.
The word “primitive” in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by ___________.
A. ugly B. complex C. modern D. basic
Question 35.
The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to ____________.
A. shelters B. early human societies
C. boats D. food sources
Question 36.
Where in paragraph 3 does the following sentence best fit?
The colors themselves have been associated with Polish nationalism since the 1700s.
A. (I) B. (II) C. (III) D. (IV)
Question 37.
Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
A. Several countries, especially those with centuries-old colors and emblems, have specific flags designated for different official functions.
B. Different flags have been used for official purposes in several countries, except those whose colors and emblems are centuries old.
C. Old-centuries nations typically use similar flags for official occasions because their colors and emblems originated several hundred years ago.
D. The colours and emblems of most countries date back several hundred years, so they are different and used for official purposes only.
Question 38.
Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. The crest of the Piast family features a species of bird on a red background.
B. The majority of flags are compact and rectangular with unique and recognizable designs.
C. The flag has evolved over thousands of years in various parts of the world.
D. Early human societies were able to build strong houses and grow stable crops.
Question 39.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Flags are more frequently seen on TV broadcasts than in public places.
B. The flags of most countries bear the image of a species of animal.
C. Human life in ancient times was reliant on the wind to a great extent.
D. The Polish now do not show as much respect for their national flag as in the past.
Question 40.
Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A. The flag of Poland is inspired by the flag of the Piast Dynasty, which is typically used on the sea and bears little similarity to plain flags flown on land.
B. The national flag, despite its sophisticated design and recent emergence, has quickly become prevalent in various places, including digital platforms.
C. The symbolism of flag has gradually decreased over centuries of its evolution, as exemplified by the simple, rectangular flag of Poland, which is inspired by the flag of a royal family known as the Piast family.

Điều tôi thực sự thích ở bộ phim Trò chơi Vương quyền là các nhà sáng tạo đã xây dựng một thế giới giả tưởng phong phú với nhiều vùng đất, dân tộc và câu chuyện khác nhau.

Lời phàn nàn chính của tôi là phim quá bạo lực, nhưng các nhà sáng tạo của chương trình lại cho rằng điều này phản ánh thực tế của chiến tranh và cuộc sống trong thế giới thời Trung Cổ. |

Tôi làm giáo viên tiếng Anh tại một trường học địa phương. Để hỗ trợ học sinh của mình, tôi chuẩn bị bài học và tạo ra các hoạt động phát triển kỹ năng ngôn ngữ của các em. Trong lớp, tôi hướng dẫn các em thực hiện các nhiệm vụ đọc, viết, nghe và nói. Sau mỗi bài học, tôi cẩn thận xem xét bài làm của các em và đưa ra phản hồi để các em có thể cải thiện. Bất chấp những thách thức, tôi thấy việc giảng dạy rất đáng giá vì tôi có thể thấy học sinh của mình trưởng thành. |

Cháu hy vọng được tham gia một lớp học gấp giấy origami do các nghệ sĩ gấp giấy origami giảng dạy. Tôi liên hệ với quý vị để hỏi về chi phí của mỗi bài học và thời gian bắt đầu bài học đầu tiên.

Tôi thực sự hào hứng khi tưởng tượng về cuộc sống của mình trong 30 năm nữa, và tôi tin rằng nó sẽ tốt đẹp hơn nhiều so với bây giờ. Tôi sẽ sống trong một ngôi nhà hiện đại, nơi robot sẽ làm việc nhà, vì vậy tôi sẽ không phải rửa bát. Tôi sẽ điều hành một tiệm bánh nổi tiếng, nơi bán bánh mì, bánh ngọt, bánh quy chất lượng cao, và cũng phục vụ cà phê và trà. Gia đình nhỏ bé nhưng hạnh phúc của tôi - với một người bạn đời chu đáo và những đứa con - sẽ có nhiều thời gian rảnh hơn và đi du lịch cùng nhau mỗi năm. Nhờ có phương tiện giao thông siêu nhanh của tương lai, chúng tôi sẽ khám phá thế giới dễ dàng hơn và tạo ra những kỷ niệm khó quên. |
