Although smell is often considered the least valued of the five senses, scientists now understand that it forms one of the most immediate links between the brain and the outside world.

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.

Urbanisation, a process once associated primarily with industrial expansion, has evolved into a multidimensional transformation reshaping societies worldwide. As cities expand, policymakers face mounting pressure to balance economic development with social equity, environmental sustainability, and cultural preservation. Although urbanisation has historically been viewed as a sign of national progress, contemporary debates highlight its uneven consequences, particularly for vulnerable populations whose livelihoods are increasingly threatened.

Modern urban growth is driven not only by rural-to-urban migration but also by demographic change and the expansion of large-infrastructure projects. These forces accelerate the conversion of agricultural land into residential and commercial zones. However, this rapid expansion often outpaces the capacity of municipal governments to provide adequate housing, transportation, and waste-management systems. As a result, informal settlements grow on the edges of cities, showing problems in government management that are hard to solve. As a result, informal settlements grow on the edges of cities, revealing systemic failures that governments struggle to confront.

Despite its challenges, urbanisation also presents opportunities for innovation. Cities that adopt data- driven planning, integrated public transit, and green infrastructure can mitigate congestion and enhance residents’ quality of life. Furthermore, urban hubs attract diverse talent pools, making them engines of creativity and technological advancement. Yet critics argue that such innovation disproportionately benefits affluent districts, reinforcing spatial inequalities that limit social mobility for lower-income communities.

Increasingly, researchers are calling for a “resilient urbanism” approach - one that emphasises citizen participation, long-term ecological stability, and inclusive policy frameworks. This model encourages city leaders to anticipate climate-related disruptions, redesign public spaces to withstand extreme weather, and ensure that marginalised groups have meaningful influence in urban decision-making. Whether governments can adopt these principles consistently remains uncertain, but many experts contend that the future of urbanisation will depend on how effectively cities address these intertwined social and environmental challenges.

Question 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as a concern related to urbanisation?

A. cultural preservation                                B. environmental sustainability

C. agricultural productivity                                D. social equity

Question 24. The word “These forces” in paragraph 2 refers to ____________.

A. informal settlements and systemic failures

B. demographic change and large infrastructure projects

C. municipal governments and private developers

D. social equity and cultural preservation

Question 25. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?

A. City authorities expand urban areas by creating new districts that can be easily managed by officials.

B. informal housing on city outskirts increases, exposing governance gaps that authorities find difficult to fix.

C. Local governments allow settlement growth on the outskirts as a means to address housing demands.

D. Informal settlements decline when city planners successfully manage infrastructure and services.

Question 26. The word “engines” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by ____________.

A. drivers                B. machines                        C. vehicles                        D. tools

Question 27. Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 3?

A. Innovation in cities usually benefits all neighbourhoods equally.

B. Urban hubs often foster creativity and technological growth.

C. Critics believe that innovation slows down economic productivity.

D. Green infrastructure worsens congestion in large cities.

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.

The idea of green living has become increasingly prominent as the world confronts worsening environmental challenges. Many people now view eco-friendly habits - such as reducing waste, saving energy, or choosing sustainable products - as essential markers of responsible citizenship. These behaviours are widely promoted in schools, workplaces, and media campaigns, suggesting that meaningful environmental progress begins with individual action. Yet researchers argue that while such choices contribute to public awareness, they often create an impression of effectiveness that far exceeds their actual impact. Real progress, they claim, depends less on personal lifestyle changes and more on coordinated reforms across industries and governments.

Companies have quickly recognised the commercial value of green living. [I] A growing number of brands advertise their products using terms like “eco-safe,” “green-approved,” or “low-carbon,” even when such claims remain only loosely supported by scientific evidence. Although these labels appeal to consumers who wish to make environmentally responsible decisions, they frequently provide little clarity about the product’s true footprint. This marketing trend - sometimes described as consumer-driven sustainability - has accelerated faster than any formal mechanism for checking its accuracy. [II] This creates an environment in which environmental responsibility appears widespread, even when actual production practices remain largely unchanged.

Another challenge arises from the narrative that environmental protection is primarily a matter of personal discipline. Advocates of green living often highlight the cumulative value of small actions, arguing that millions of responsible choices can help reshape environmental outcomes. While such actions play a role in creating a culture of sustainability, they can also distract attention from the sectors that generate the majority of emissions. [III] In this way, green living may unintentionally shift responsibility onto individuals while allowing major polluters to avoid public scrutiny. Environmental experts warn that unless structural reforms are placed at the centre of sustainability agendas, lifestyle changes alone will fall short of the scale needed to address the crisis. [IV] Green-living, therefore, should be understood as a useful starting point - one that encourages civic participation and awareness - but not as a replacement for decisive policy and industrial change.

Question 31. According to paragraph 1, individual green habits ____________.

A. are promoted as the most effective solution to climate change

B. give a sense of contribution that may not match their real impact

C. have been proven to deliver large-scale environmental improvements

D. are rarely encouraged by schools and public institutions

Question 32. The word “they” in paragraph 1 refers to ____________.

A. researchers                B. campaigns                        C. choices                        D. challenges

Question 33. The word “clarity” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by ____________.

A. accuracy                B. confidence                        C. certainty                        D. transparency

Question 34. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?

A. Companies use green-themed labels to meet strict environmental standards.

B. Corporate green claims often lack verification, leaving consumers misinformed.

C. Consumer-driven sustainability has reduced the need for government regulation.

D. Marketing transparency has improved as brands adopt eco-friendly practices.

Question 35. Which of the following is NOT stated as a feature of green marketing claims?

A. labels such as “eco-safe”                                B. limited scientific support

C. rapid expansion of eco-advertising                D. strict verification by authorities

Question 36. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?

A. Green living can accidentally place most of the environmental burden on the general public instead of holding major polluters accountable.

B. Green living ensures that individuals correct their habits before expecting major polluters to change theirs.

C. Green living suggests that environmental outcomes rely mainly on personal choices rather than demanding action from major polluters.

D. Green living limits how much attention the public pays to environmental issues caused by major polluters.

Question 37. According to the passage, advocates of green living often claim that ____________.

A. large-scale change depends mainly on government action

B. industries are responsible for the majority of emissions

C. small everyday actions can collectively make a difference

D. consumers should avoid buying green-certified products

Question 38. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. The absence of rigorous oversight has allowed environmentally themed claims to flourish largely unchecked.

B. Consumers are generally equipped to scrutinise green labels with the same precision as scientific evaluators.

C. Corporations seldom rely on ecological rhetoric because it offers little strategic advantage in competitive markets.

D. System-wide policy reforms are portrayed as secondary measures that merely complement individual behavioural shifts.

Question 39. Where in the passage does the following sentence best fit?

"As a result, customers are often left to rely on vague slogans rather than verified information."

A. [I]                        B. [II]                                C. [III]                                D. [IV]

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

A. The rising enthusiasm for green living shows that personal discipline is widely viewed as the foundation of environmental responsibility, regardless of broader political or industrial action.

B. Recent shifts in consumer behaviour demonstrate that lifestyle adjustments are now widely seen as the primary solution to environmental degradation, rendering larger policy reforms increasingly unnecessary.

C. Although individual environmental habits help cultivate public awareness, they remain insufficient unless matched by structural reforms that address the systemic forces driving ecological damage.

D. While green marketing reflects consumers’ growing desire for sustainable choices, its reliance on unverified claims exposes significant gaps in corporate accountability.

Cách chống mệt mỏi hiệu quả

Cảm giác mệt mỏi kéo dài có thể làm giảm năng suất và ảnh hưởng tiêu cực đến sức khỏe tổng thể của bạn. Để kiểm soát tình trạng mệt mỏi tốt hơn, hãy thử xây dựng một thói quen lành mạnh nhằm nâng cao mức năng lượng hằng ngày của bạn.

• Duy trì lịch ngủ đều đặn và tránh sử dụng thiết bị điện tử trước khi đi ngủ,  thói quen này có thể gây cản trở nhịp sinh học tự nhiên của bạn.

• Cung cấp năng lượng cho cơ thể bằng các bữa ăn cân đối, giàu protein và ngũ cốc nguyên hạt thay vì thực phẩm siêu chế biến, vốn gây ra tình trạng tụt năng lượng đột ngột.

  •  Giải thích: Alice trả lời trực tiếp câu hỏi chỉ đường của Bella.

1️ c. Emma: Hey, did you catch that new documentary about the challenges facing teens today?

2️ b. Olivia: No, I haven’t seen it. What did it cover?

  • Giải thích: Olivia trả lời đúng mạch: chưa xem và hỏi lại nội dung, tạo điều kiện để Emma giải thích.
  • Dịch: Không, mình chưa xem. Nó nói về những gì vậy?

3️ a. Emma: It talked about the immense pressure we face to excel in so many areas of life.

  • Giải thích: Câu này trực tiếp trả lời câu hỏi “What did it cover?”, cung cấp thông tin chính của bộ phim.
  • Dịch: Nó nói về áp lực khổng lồ mà chúng ta phải đối mặt để xuất sắc trong rất nhiều lĩnh vực của cuộc sống.

4️ d. Olivia: I know what you mean. It feels like we have to be perfect at everything.

  • Giải thích: Olivia bày tỏ sự đồng cảm và mở rộng ý từ “pressure” sang cảm giác phải hoàn hảo.
  • Dịch: Mình hiểu ý cậu. Cảm giác như chúng ta phải hoàn hảo trong mọi thứ vậy.

5️ e. Emma: Exactly! And then there's the constant social media scrutiny. It's exhausting.

  • Giải thích: Emma nhấn mạnh sự đồng tình (“Exactly!”) và bổ sung một nguyên nhân cụ thể khác, kết thúc cuộc trò chuyện một cách tự nhiên.
  • Dịch: Chính xác! Rồi còn sự soi xét liên tục từ mạng xã hội nữa. Thật sự rất mệt mỏi.
