Read the following passage about counter-urbanization 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.

Counter-urbanisation, the process of people migrating from urban areas to live in rural ones, has become increasingly common in Vietnam in recent years. To illustrate, a number of people have decided to leave bustling cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City for rural areas. Counter-urbanisation is a new phenomenon with several benefits and potential problems for the whole nation.

Counter-urbanisation can bring positive effects on a country. Moving away from major cities can help to alleviate issues such as overcrowding, traffic congestion and pollution in those urban areas. What's more, it can even create opportunities for rural development as an increase in the rural population can encourage significant investment in businesses and infrastructure in the countryside. For instance, the growth of small enterprises and the improvement of transportation networks in rural areas are often direct outcomes of this demographic shift. Additionally, local communities may benefit from greater access to education, healthcare and employment opportunities as public and private sectors respond to rising demand.

However, counter-urbanisation has also brought challenges to rural areas in some cases. Many rural areas lack basic amenities such as medical facilities, schools and public transportation, making it difficult for newcomers to settle in. This puts a strain on rural infrastructure and services. At the same time, there is a real risk of environmental damage as more people move into previously undeveloped areas. Deforestation, pollution, and other environmental issues can arise as a result of increased human activities in these areas.

In conclusion, counter-urbanisation is a new trend that comes with advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, local governments and communities will need to work together to effectively manage public services, energy supplies and natural resources in order to promote economic extension and sustainable development.

Read the following passage about the importance of green design in construction 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.

(I) There has, in recent years, been an outpouring of information about the impact of buildings on the natural environment. (II) Information that explains and promotes green and sustainable construction design strives to convince others of its efficacy and warns of the dangers of ignoring the issue. (III) However, these documents hardly offer any practical advice to practitioners, such as those designing mechanical and electrical systems for a building, on how to utilize this knowledge effectively in their work. (IV)

While the terms green and sustainable are often viewed as synonymous, they represent different concepts. Sustainability is defined as minimizing the negative impacts of human activities on the natural environment, particularly those that have long-term and permanent effects. Some elements of green design may also be sustainable, such as those that reduce energy usage and pollution, while others, like ensuring indoor air quality, may be considered green even if they have no direct influence.

Although many advocates promote green construction within the architectural industry and can cite numerous reasons for why buildings should be designed sustainably, this is not enough to bring green construction to fruition. The driving force behind whether a building is constructed with minimal environmental impact ultimately comes down to the owner; that is, the individual financing the project. If the owner considers green design unimportant or of secondary importance, it is highly likely that it will not be integrated into the design process.

The commissioning process is a key factor in ensuring that the building meets the owner's expectations regarding design, budget, and risk management. At the predesign stage, the owner's objectives, criteria, and the type of design they envision are discussed and documented, providing a solid foundation for the design team. Owners who skip this process or overlook green issues often encounter significant challenges once their building is operational. Although materials and equipment are installed as planned, the owner may later realize that operational and maintenance costs are higher than necessary, and that occupants are dissatisfied. These factors ultimately lead to increased ownership costs as well as a greater environmental impact.

(Adapted from TOEFL Reading Tests)

This lack of guidance is challenging for professionals to integrate sustainability into their designs.

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

Question 32.

The word “convince” in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to __________.

        A. demonstrate        B. prevent        C. encourage        D. influence

Question 33.

The word “those” in paragraph 2 refers to __________.

        A. effects        B. activities        C. elements        D. concepts

Question 34.

According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT a characteristic of green design?

        A. Reducing pollution                B. Reducing energy usage

        C. Ensuring indoor air quality        D. Causing permanent effects

Question 35.

Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?

A. The owner's priorities greatly affect whether green design is included in projects.

B. Sustainable buildings are built regardless of the owner's preferences and priorities.

C. Green construction relies on regulations, often ignoring the owner's preferences.

D. The impact of green design often truly depends on project budget and timelines.

Question 36.

The phrase “comes down to” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by __________.

        A. depend on        B. take on        C. keep up        D. bring about

Question 37.

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The owner's involvement is crucial for implementing green design.

B. The commissioning process ensures that the owner's goals are achieved.

C. Green and sustainable design are considered interchangeable in construction.

D. Green design documents generally offer practical advice for designers.

Question 38.

Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

A. Owners ignoring green design or the process often face big problems when using their buildings later.

B. Owners that care about green issues rarely need help operating their construction sites effectively later on.

C. Owners skipping green topics may benefit from lower design risks and shorter construction time in cities.

D. Owners who follow the process usually reduce the cost of building materials and design fees quickly.

Question 39.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. Green design is often seen as a luxury only a few owners and developers can actually afford to use.

B. Ignoring full green design during construction leads to lower future costs and worse long-term environmental effects.

C. Green design works well without big costs, if the team truly focuses on using sustainable practices.

D. To apply green design successfully, owners must plan finances well and commit to long-term sustainability goals.

Question 40.

Which of the following best summarises the passage?

A. For green design to be effective, it needs full owner commitment and detailed planning to reduce long-term environmental and cost-related issues.

B. Successful green design in every building relies on the integration of sustainable practices, with the owner's financial backing being essential to achieving these goals.

C. Green construction completely depends on the owner's financial commitment and early-stage planning to minimize environmental impact and operational costs.

D. Green design requires the owner's prioritization and financial support, along with a structured commissioning process to ensure successful implementation.

Chào Helen,

Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều vì bài báo về tác động của mạng xã hội lên xã hội mà bạn đã gửi cho tôi tuần trước. Thật tuyệt khi đọc về cách truyền thông có thể định hình ý kiến dư luận. Tôi cũng đánh giá cao các liên kết đến phim tài liệu về ảnh hưởng của truyền thông; chúng sâu sắc hơn nhiều so với một số bài báo tôi đã đọc. Truyền thông đại chúng đã thay đổi theo thời gian, nhưng hiện tại tôi đang tập trung vào nghiên cứu của mình về báo chí kỹ thuật số. Tôi nghĩ chúng ta nên thảo luận thêm về chủ đề này - bạn nghĩ sao?

Write back soon,

David

Bảo vệ môi trường là vô cùng quan trọng để đảm bảo một tương lai khỏe mạnh và bền vững. Những hành động đơn giản như giảm sử dụng nhựa, tái chế và tiết kiệm nước có thể tạo ra sự khác biệt đáng kể. Việc trồng cây cũng giúp giảm mức độ CO2 và cải thiện chất lượng không khí. Thêm vào đó, lựa chọn các sản phẩm thân thiện với môi trường và ủng hộ các nguồn năng lượng tái tạo, chẳng hạn như năng lượng mặt trời hoặc năng lượng gió, góp phần vào một hành tinh xanh hơn. Điều quan trọng là các cá nhân, doanh nghiệp và chính phủ phải hợp tác để bảo tồn tài nguyên thiên nhiên, giảm ô nhiễm và chống lại biến đổi khí hậu cho các thế hệ tương lai.
