Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, has a population of around 1.8 million. Its growing economy and population have led to traffic problems, (18) ________.
To solve this, a new city called Masdar is being built on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi. Covering 6 km², (19) ________. It gets all its electricity from solar power. A wall blocks desert wind, and narrow streets create shade and airflow, making the city about 10°C cooler than Abu Dhabi.
(20) ________. Instead, people rely on public transport, including underground rail and light-rail systems that connect Masdar to Abu Dhabi and the airport. A special transport system called Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) was also planned, featuring 3,000 driverless, solar-powered podcars. (21) ________. However, only 13 PRTs are now in use, as newer electric vehicle technology is more practical. Today, residents use clean-energy electric buses and cars alongside the PRT system.
Masdar was originally expected to cost $$24 billion, but the 2008-2009 financial crisis reduced the budget. (22) ________. Still, construction continues, and Masdar is expected to be complete before 2030. When it is finished, there could be up to 50,000 residents and 40,000 daily commuters. With companies like Siemens opening offices there, planners are confident Masdar's eco-friendly design will prove worth the cost.

Read the following passage about the mental impact of the weather 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.
Have you ever noticed that your mood changes with the weather? There's a scientific reason for this. The amount of sunlight you get can affect your brain. Sunlight helps the brain produce a chemical called serotonin, which makes you feel happy and calm. On dark or rainy days, your body makes less serotonin, so you might feel tired, sad, or less energetic.
The weather also affects our circadian rhythms, the internal body clock that controls sleep patterns. Less daylight can disrupt these rhythms, leading to poor sleep and mental health. In addition, sunlight helps the body produce vitamin D, which is essential for brain health. When there is little sunlight, like in winter, people may not get enough of this vitamin, and this can worsen symptoms of depression. On dark days, your body produces more melatonin, a hormone that promotes sleep. Higher melatonin levels can make you feel drowsy and less motivated, reducing your desire to be active or social.
Some people are especially affected by seasonal changes. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs during particular times of the year, usually in winter. Symptoms include low mood, exhaustion, sleep problems, and loss of appetite. On the other hand, very hot weather can also have a negative effect, increasing stress and triggering manic episodes in people with certain mental health conditions.
To manage these effects, experts recommend regular physical activity, even during bad weather. Outdoor time and movement can help boost energy and improve your mood. Being aware of how weather affects mental health can help you take positive steps to feel better throughout the year.
(Adapted from The Independent)

When there is little sunlight, like in winter, people may not get enough of this vitamin, and this can worsen symptoms of depression.
A. If there is too little sunlight, people who do not get enough vitamin D will start developing depression.
B. Winter is the time when most people with depressive symptoms do not get enough sunlight and vitamin
C. A lack of vitamin D during periods of minimal sunlight can make depressive symptoms worse.
D. People who get enough sunlight during winter months will not see their depression worsen.

Read the following passage about protecting endangered species 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.
Scientists think there are almost nine million animal species in the world, but most have not been discovered yet. Because of this, it's hard to know how many are dying out. However, experts believe that between 900 and 9,000 species could disappear each year. While this sounds alarming, not all species are doomed—some have been brought back from near extinction with human help.
Animals are in danger for many reasons, such as hunting and habitat destruction. One example is the gray whale, which was almost hunted to extinction. In the 1940s, there were fewer than 2,000 left. (I) Thanks to protection laws, the population has grown to over 23,000. Other animals, such as lemurs and orangutans, still face serious danger due to deforestation and expanding human populations.
When a population falls to such low numbers, its long-term survival is at risk. This is because animals thrive by being diverse, and when they breed from such a tiny group, their young may be too weak to survive. The Arabian gazelle was once in trouble, but its numbers increased again thanks to protection efforts that also helped improve its gene pool. (II)
It is important that protection efforts also focus on protecting entire ecosystems and food chains. The Amur tiger, native to Russia, northern China, and Mongolia and once hunted to just 40 animals in the 1940s, was the first tiger in the world to be given full protection. (III) What helped the Amur tiger population recover so rapidly was the restriction of hunting other animals. These included bears and deer that were its natural prey.
Sometimes, helping animals helps us in other ways. In the 1960s, whales were protected. Scientists later discovered that whale waste helps feed phytoplankton—tiny ocean plants that absorb carbon dioxide. Fewer whales led to fewer phytoplankton and may have worsened climate change. Protecting whales, therefore, can support both biodiversity and the climate. (IV) Another potential benefit comes from ecotourism, which brings money to local communities while protecting the environment. In Costa Rica, it was so successful that it created many jobs, such as tour guides, and led to the building of national parks. Local businesses—from craftspeople to restaurateurs—can also benefit.

Quesiton 31.
In paragraph 1, the word "doomed" is OPPOSITE in meaning to _________.
A. dying B. destroyed C. disappearing D. saved
Quesiton 32.
Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 1?
Because of this, it's hard to know how many are dying out.
A. Due to scientists thinking that there are many unknown species, it's difficult to find out the extinct ones.
B. There are so many animal species in the world that scientists cannot know how many have disappeared.
C. The number of animal species becoming extinct is unclear since most species have not yet been identified.
D. Because most species live in hard-to-reach places, scientists have been unable count how many have died.
Quesiton 33.
According to paragraph 2, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Other species continue facing threats from human expansion.
B. A number of issues are putting animal species in danger.
C. Overhunting almost caused the gray whale's extinction.
D. Endangered whales have benefited little from protection laws.
Quesiton 34.
In paragraph 3, the word "thrive" is closest in meaning to _________.
A. gradually become weaker B. develop successfully
C. decrease quickly in number D. spread widely
Quesiton 35.
Why does the author mention "bears and deer" in paragraph 4?
A. To demonstrate that protecting them is more important than protecting their predators
B. To list animals that the Amur tiger used to feed on but that have now become fewer in number
C. To give an example of animals that, like the Amur tiger, were also hunted to near extinction
D. To make the point that the survival of the Amur tiger is closely linked to that of its food source
Quesiton 36.
In paragraph 5, the word "that" most probably refers to _________.
A. phytoplankton B. humans C. animals D. whales
Quesiton 37.
Where in the passage does the following sentence best fit?
Today, their numbers have increased to over 500.
A. (I) B. (II) C. (III) D. (IV)
Quesiton 38.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The destruction of forests is threatening the survival of many species.
B. Protecting endangered species always leads to economic opportunities.
C. An endangered species recovers most rapidly when its prey are protected.
D. Genetic diversity plays a minor role in the long-term survival of a species.
Quesiton 39.
Which of the following sentences best summarizes the passage?
A. Saving an animal species from extinction requires multiple solutions, but the effort benefits both humans and the animals themselves.
B. The extinction of animal species is mainly caused by habitat loss, but conservation efforts have been successful in places like Costa Rica.
C. Although animal extinction is unavoidable, we can slow it down by banning illegal hunting and promoting ecotourism.
D. Even though extinction is natural, the rate of species loss today is especially concerning due to climate problems and overhunting.
Quesiton 40.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. If a species is genetically diverse enough, it can survive despite being overhunted.
B. Ecotourism equally benefits the local communities and the species being endangered.
C. Once animals become endangered, they cannot recover without human help.
D. Some endangered species may hold the key to solving the world's pressing problems.

Trà đã đóng một vai trò quan trọng trong văn hóa và lịch sử ở cả châu Á và châu Âu. Nó bắt đầu ở Trung Quốc và sau đó lan sang các nước châu Á khác, như Nhật Bản, nơi trà được sử dụng trong một buổi lễ đặc biệt. Vào những năm 1600, nước Anh bắt đầu nhập khẩu trà và tạo ra những truyền thống như trà chiều cho người giàu và như high tea – bữa ăn chính cho các gia đình lao động. Kể từ đó, trà cũng trở thành sản phẩm thương mại trung tâm giữa Anh và các thuộc địa của Mỹ, cuối cùng gây ra xung đột chính trị dẫn đến Đảng Trà Boston. Ngày nay, uống trà - đặc biệt là trà xanh - còn được biết đến là tốt cho sức khỏe vì nó có thể giúp giảm nguy cơ mắc các bệnh như ung thư, các vấn đề về tim, đột quỵ và tiểu đường nhờ các chất tự nhiên gọi là polyphenol. |

Nhiều người tự coi mình là người nhút nhát - khoảng 40% số người trong cuộc khảo sát nói như vậy, và mặc dù tính nhút nhát có thể do di truyền nhưng điều đó không có nghĩa là trẻ em được định đoạt là sẽ luôn nhút nhát. Cha mẹ, thầy cô và bản thân trẻ có thể thực hiện các bước để vượt qua hoặc thậm chí ngăn chặn xu hướng này. Một nhà nghiên cứu nhận thấy rằng việc khuyến khích nhẹ nhàng những đứa trẻ nhút nhát thử những điều mới có thể giúp chúng bớt sợ hãi hơn, đồng thời một phương pháp khác là dạy chúng các kỹ năng xã hội. Ví dụ, các nhóm đào tạo dạy trẻ cách giao tiếp bằng mắt, nói về sở thích của người khác và mỉm cười khi nói. Những chương trình này mang lại cho những đứa trẻ nhút nhát một nơi an toàn để cảm thấy được chấp nhận và đã rất thành công trong việc cải thiện sự tự tin và lòng tự trọng của các em. |
