Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 22 to 26.
Can you imagine waking up each day in a house that is gently rocked by the movement of water,
having a water park as a garden and getting to work by water taxi? Well, for some people this vision of
the future may become a reality. It is a commonly accepted fact that as the Earth's temperature rises,
the ice caps at the North and South Poles will melt, causing the sea level to rise.
So, where does this leave the many countries in the world which have large sections of their
populations living in areas which lie at or below sea level? The Netherlands, for example, is one of the
most highly populated, low-lying countries in the world and has been battling with the problem of
flooding for years. Further rises in the sea level would mean much of the country will disappear under
water.
Inventive architects may have come up with a solution to the problem: a floating house actually
built on the water. The basic idea is that houses will have a base filled with air and a way of anchoring
them to the ground. This will allow the houses to float upwards whenever the sea level rises and sink
back down when the sea level drops. So, are floating houses the homes of the future? For some people
there may be no alternative; for others it will be through choice. After all, who says you have to live on
dry land anyway?
Câu 22: Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. Countries affected by flooding may sink.
B. Floating houses will be normal in the future.
C. Houses built on the water may be homes of the future for some people.
D. Eventually the whole world will be affected by flooding.
Câu 23: According to the text, in the future the level of the sea will rise because_______.
A. the heat will turn ice into water and force the level up
B. many countries are sinking and will force the level up
C. the ice caps will move and push the level up
D. the world will become colder causing more rain
Câu 24: What does the word “vision” in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. image B. eyesight C. display D. glimpse
Câu 25: The word “their” in the second paragraph refers to_______.
A. many countries B. populations C. ice caps D. large sections
Câu 26: Why does the writer choose the Netherlands as an example?
A. The country has a low population.
B. The country faces a housing problem.
C. The aim is to encourage architects there.
D. The country is low-lying and will be seriously affected by a rise in water levels.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 27 to 33.
On a boat near Costa Rica, a team of marine biologists is helping a turtle. The animal is having
trouble breathing, and the team discovers why—there is something inside its nose. A scientist tries to
extract the object, but the turtle cries in pain. Finally, after eight long minutes, a 10-centimeter plastic
straw is pulled out.
The video of the turtle’s rescue has been viewed millions of times on YouTube. It has helped raise
awareness of a growing problem: The world’s seas are full of plastic. Since 2000, there has been a
huge increase in worldwide plastic production, but we recycle less than one-fifth of it. A lot of this
plastic waste ends up in the ocean. Today, scientists think about 8.1 billion kilograms goes into the sea
every year from coastal regions. Most of this plastic will never biodegrade.
This ocean plastic hurts millions of sea animals every year. Some fish eat plastic because it is
covered with sea plants, and it looks and smells like food. Typically, eating plastic leads to constant
Trang 3/5 - Mã đề thi 102
hunger. “Imagine you ate lunch and then just felt weak … and hungry all day,” says marine biologist
Matthew Savoca. “That would be very confusing.” In some cases, eating sharp pieces of plastic can
seriously hurt sea animals and even result in death.
Plastic is useful to people because it is strong and lasts a long time—but this is bad news for sea
creatures who eat or get stuck in it. According to Savoca, “Single-use plastics are the worst.” These are
items that are used only once before we throw them away. Some common examples include straws,
water bottles, and plastic bags. About 700 sea species (including the turtle from the video) have been
caught in or have eaten this kind of plastic. Luckily, the turtle survived and was released back into the
ocean.
How will plastic affect sea animals in the long term? “I think we’ll know the answers in 5 to 10
years’ time,” says Debra Lee Magadini from Columbia University. But by then, another 25 million
tons of plastic will already be in the ocean.
