READING
In spring 2008, the polar bear was placed on the endangered species list. According to the
Endangered Species Act, an endangered species is an animal that is likely to face extinction in its natural
habitat. Polar bears have been categorized as a "threatened" species. The ESA defines a threatened species as
one that is likely to become "endangered" in the foreseeable future.
The polar bear is the first animal that has been classified as endangered due primarily to global warming.
Global warming is caused by carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that become trapped in the
atmosphere. Heating homes, driving cars, and burning garbage all require fossil fuels that lead to global
warming.
The polar bear's habitat is more vulnerable to global warming than many other species. Polar bears live
mainly on the sea ice in the Arctic. This is where they hunt for fish and build up fat reserves. When the ice
melts many polar bears move to land and live off their stored fat. In the Arctic, global warming is causing the
ice to melt slightly earlier and form slightly later. This results in a shorter feeding season for the polar bear.
Some risk their lives to find ice. If they have to swim too far they will drown from exhaustion and hunger. The
World Wildlife Fund estimates that 25% of the Arctic sea ice has disappeared in the past 30 years.
1.According to the text, the polar bear ________.
A. has already become extinct B. is likely to be categorized as "threatened species"
C. may become endangered in the near future D. was placed on the ESA list
2. The word " vulnerable" in paragraph 3 is closet in meaning to:
A. sensitive B.friendly C. powerful D. self-motivated
3. What is the topic of the reading text?
A. The polar bear’s natural habitat B. The polar bear as an endangered species
C. The polar bear and global warming D. The polar bear’s foreseeable future
4. The followings are the factors that require fossil fuels lead to global warming EXCEPT.
A. heating homes B. burning garbage C. hunt for fish D. driving cars
5.What major change has occurred in the polar bear's natural habitat?
A. Ice has been extremely polluted. B. Air temperature has become unbearably colder.
C. Sea ice has been greatly reduced. D. The number of fish has rapidly disappeared.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions from 1 to 5.
A striking feature of Viet Nam’s remarkable progress over the last few decades is the rapid pace of
urbanisation. In 1986, there were fewer than there are 30 million urban residents. Today there are 30 million.
Cities have become strong growth forces, with urban areas growing twice as fast as the national average rate,
and contributing over half of the country’s gross domestic product.
Viet Nam needs to reshape its urbanization process to create more efficient cities - cities that have sufficient
population densities are well connected internally and regionally, and well managed. In addition, in line with
Viet Nam's strong preference for social equity, cities will need to ensure inclusion of all residents, with no
groups or area “left behind."
Meanwhile, rural residents increasingly lag behind their urban counterparts in income and access to services,
leading many to migrate to cities. Migration presents challenges for urban management but also opportunities to
enhance labor mobility. Fortunately, these trends can be reversed.
For example, four years ago, Alley 76 in Binh Thanh district, Ho Chi Minh City was only narrow enough for
one motorbike to get through. Store owner Bui Thi Mai knows how a clean and efficient city can make or break
a business. When it rained, the alley was often flooded with floating garbage and mosquitoes. Crime was
increasing. Today, after undergoing major upgrading under an urban renewal project, the street is cleaner, safer
and trucks carry goods to her door. Her family income has soared and her life has been completely changed.
Câu 1: Urbanisation in Viet Nam has _______.
A. made rural areas develop along with urban ones
B. mainly contributed to the country’s GDP
C. made urban areas develop faster than the average
D. promoted the country’s economy twice as fast as before
Câu 2: All of the following are necessary for efficient cities EXCEPT _______.
A. good organisation B. sufficient working population
C. management decision D. internal and regional connections
Câu 3: It can be inferred from the passage that along with urban migration_______.
A. cities offer sufficient employment opportunities for migrants
B. population of cities accounts for the majority of the country's
C. the city authorities face both advantages and disadvantages
D. people in rural areas do not suffer from poor infrastructure in the city.
Câu 4: The responsibility of city authorities is _______.
A. to provide equal opportunities for every group of residents
B. to stop the migration from the rural areas
C. to leave all difficulties behind in order to move forward
D. to contribute much more to the country's gross domestic product
Câu 5: All of the following are benefits from the urban renewal project EXCEPT that _______.
A. people can have goods carried to their door
B. business and the living conditions have been improved
C. the neighbourhood has become cleaner and safer
D. the streets and alleys will no longer be flooded
