Read the following passage about the rise of Airbnb and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 25.

In 2007, design graduates, Joe Gebbie and Brian Chesky, were struggling to pay the rent for their San Francisco apartment. Hearing that there was a conference coming to town and there were no hotel rooms available, they created the website airbedandbreakfast.com where they advertised three airbeds in their home at $$80 each a night, breakfast included. Only six days later, they had three guests sleeping on their floor. They knew immediately that this was the start of something big.

Being budding entrepreneurs, the pair decided to take their idea further. They enlisted Gebbie's former flatmate, Nathan Blecharczyk, a computer science graduate, to develop their website. Their idea was to target conferences and festivals across the USA, getting local people to list their rooms and travelers to book them. The new website was completed just in time for the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, at which Barack Obama was due to speak in front of 80,000 people. Within a week, they had 800 listings, an achievement which dealt in part with the shortage of hotel rooms, but did not solve their financial problems, as the site was not making any money.

The team decided that they would have to handle payment for the bookings. They began to charge three per cent to the host and between six and twelve per cent to the traveler, depending on the price of the booking. Meanwhile, investors had started showing interest in the company. By April 2009, when larger investments began to arrive, they moved the company out of their flat into a new state-of-the-art office and hired more staff.

Since then Airbnb has gone from strength to strength. The company now has over 1.5 million listings in 34,000 cities in 190 countries, and is rumoured to be worth around $$20 billion.

Read the following passage about powering the future and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 40.

As we continue to face the impacts of climate change, having a green environment has become increasingly important to the future of our society. To achieve this, the world is shifting towards green energy, and two particular types of energy at the centre of this movement are solar power and wind power.

(I)This highly efficient form of energy produces zero emissions, so it can significantly reduce our carbon footprint. (II) Moreover, solar panels are perfect for installation on a small scale, such as in private homes, since they require very little maintenance and have a long lifespan. (III)  However, the ability to generate solar power depends on the time of day and weather conditions. This means that solar panels are often less useful if they are installed in places where sunny weather is not typical. (IV)

Wind power, on the other hand, involves converting the energy of the wind into electricity using large turbines. Wind power doesn't produce any greenhouse gases, but it is not ideal for private use since turbines require consistent care. However, wind farms can be installed on a large scale and are able to produce electricity continuously regardless of the time of day. This means that if there were more investments in wind power, it could be a viable way to provide energy for major cities and even for whole regions.

Wind and solar power contribute significantly to a green environment by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, helping us cut down on pollution and slow climate change. Additionally, using renewable energy sources helps promote spending on sustainable development by creating new career opportunities in the green energy sector.

For now, the biggest challenge of adopting green energy is the costs associated with installation and infrastructure, but the benefits unquestionably outweigh the downsides. If we want to stop the climate crisis and create a better and more sustainable future, green energy sources will undoubtedly be the key.

(Adapted from Bright)

Question 31. Where in paragraph 2 does the following sentence best fit?

Solar power is all about harnessing the energy of the sun by using solar panels to convert sunlight into usable electricity.

        A. (II)        B. (I)        C. (IV)        D. (III)

Question 32. The word they in paragraph 2 refers to ______.

        A. weather conditions        B. private homes        C. zero emissions        D. solar panels

Question 33. According to paragraph 2, what is TRUE about solar panels?

A. They contribute to our carbon footprint.

B. They can be used for long periods.

C. They aren't well suited to personal use.

D. They create fewer emissions.

Question 34. The word viable in paragraph 3 OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.

        A. possible        B. practicable        C. unworkable        D. feasible

Question 35. According to paragraph 4, what is NOT mentioned regarding wind and solar power?

        A. They encourage investment in green energy.

        B. They make us reliant on green energy.

        C. They help combat climate change.

        D. They create new jobs for people.

Question 36. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 4?

A. Wind and solar power make a considerable contribution to a green environment, and switching to green energy sources promotes investment in sustainable development.

B. Using renewable energy sources can boost sustainable development and create ecosystem resiliency.

C. Switching to renewable energy sources like wind and solar power can enhance energy independence and mitigate climate change.

D. Wind and solar energy have an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change.

Question 37. The word outweigh in paragraph 5 could be best replaced by ______.

        A. decrease        B. surpass        C. defeat        D. captivate

Question 38. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 5?

A. Should we want to halt global warming and foster more sustainable development, renewable energy sources will, without doubt, be the most important determining factor.

B. Green energy stands as a positive example for a sustainable future, offering many benefits, from stopping the climate crisis and creating a better and more sustainable future.

C. Green energy is another important step in stopping the climate crisis and creating a better and sustainable future.

D. The key to tackling the climate crisis is to end our reliance on energy generated from fossil fuels and take advantage of renewable energy.

Question 39. What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the text?

        A. There exists little infrastructure for renewable energy at present.

        B. Green energy costs are rising.

C. The downsides of green energy could soon outweigh the benefits.

D. Green energy will enhance green living.

Question 40. Which of the following best summarises the passage?

A. In response to the challenges of climate change, the growing use of renewable energy sources is the cornerstone of the energy transition, and no type of energy is better than solar and wind power.

B. In the context of climate change, the energy transition with two particular types of energy at the centre of this movement, namely solar power and wind power, will definitely address the need for a better and more sustainable future.

C. In response to climate change, the green transition is adopted to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change, as well as preserve and improve the state of the environment.

D. The critical importance of and the strong commitment to energy transition in climate change response are highlighted.

DỊCH BÀI

To think that there are places where the sky is always blue and the flowers bloom in January!

… Goodness me! Is that the time! And I’ve such a lot to do. I seem to have no energy, these days. I think perhaps it’s the weather… If only I could get away from it all!

Thật khó tin khi nghĩ rằng có những nơi bầu trời lúc nào cũng xanh và hoa nở rộ vào tháng Giêng! …

Ôi trời, đã muộn thế này rồi sao! Mà tôi còn bao nhiêu việc phải làm. Dạo này tôi chẳng còn chút năng lượng nào. Có lẽ là do thời tiết… Giá mà tôi có thể trốn thoát khỏi tất cả!

Yes, we are all children of circumstances, and life today moves faster than it did. In the effort to keep pace, we burn up precious energy more freely than we should. Little wonder if at times the daily strain becomes too heavy! Then it is that Milo can be a great help and benefit. It helps to sustain the balance between energy spent and energy gained. Day by day, each day a little, it supplements the intake of those nutritional and energy-giving elements which are now known to be most beneficial in helping to restore and sustain nervous and physical energy.

 

Đúng là chúng ta đều bị ảnh hưởng bởi hoàn cảnh, và cuộc sống ngày nay trôi qua nhanh hơn rất nhiều so với trước đây.

Soot from open waste burning has a strong warming effect on the earth. It warms the earth by trapping sunlight and releasing it as heat. It is one of the main causes of global warming.

Ban open waste burning!

Việc đốt rác và chất thải hữu cơ trong các đống lửa ngoài trời gây hại rất lớn cho môi trường. Nó tạo ra gần một phần ba lượng khí thải carbon đen trên toàn cầu. Bụi than từ việc đốt rác ngoài trời có tác động làm ấm mạnh mẽ lên Trái đất. Nó làm nóng hành tinh bằng cách giữ lại ánh sáng mặt trời và phát ra nhiệt. Đây là một trong những nguyên nhân chính gây ra hiện tượng nóng lên toàn cầu.

Hãy cấm đốt rác ngoài trời!

How dangerous is using solid fuels at home?

Sử dụng nhiên liệu rắn trong nhà nguy hiểm đến mức nào?

Many people still use solid fuels like coal and wood for heating and cooking. However, when burnt at home, they produce black carbon and other pollutants. The tiny pieces of indoor carbon (10) released from indoor stoves can enter the human body and cause serious health problems. Research shows that household air (11) pollution kills millions of people every year.

Nhiều người vẫn sử dụng nhiên liệu rắn như than đá và gỗ để sưởi ấm và nấu ăn. Tuy nhiên, khi đốt trong nhà, chúng tạo ra carbon đen và các chất gây ô nhiễm khác. Những hạt carbon nhỏ li ti được giải phóng từ bếp lò trong nhà có thể xâm nhập vào cơ thể con người và gây ra các vấn đề sức khỏe nghiêm trọng. Nghiên cứu cho thấy ô nhiễm không khí trong nhà giết chết hàng triệu người mỗi năm.

Renewable energy is the future!

As a software developer, my job involves solving complex problems and even unexpected ones. Each day brings new challenges that require me to think logically to write different codes. Some friends of mine think I often stay up late, working on my laptop alone, but it’s not true at all. My job requires collaboration, so I often work with other developers to brainstorm solutions. Therefore, there’s a real sense of satisfaction in completing a project in a team. After all, my job is highly demanding, but it’s fulfilling to create something practically functional.

 

Là một lập trình viên, công việc của tôi bao gồm việc giải quyết các vấn đề phức tạp và đôi khi cả những vấn đề bất ngờ. Mỗi ngày mang đến những thách thức mới, đòi hỏi tôi phải suy nghĩ logic để viết các đoạn mã khác nhau. Một số bạn của tôi nghĩ rằng tôi thường thức khuya, làm việc một mình với chiếc laptop, nhưng điều đó hoàn toàn không đúng. Công việc của tôi yêu cầu sự hợp tác, vì vậy tôi thường làm việc cùng các lập trình viên khác để cùng nhau đưa ra giải pháp. Do đó, có một cảm giác thực sự thỏa mãn khi hoàn thành một dự án cùng cả nhóm. Suy cho cùng, công việc của tôi có yêu cầu rất cao, nhưng thật đáng làm khi có thể tạo ra một thứ gì đó thực sự hữu ích.
