Read the following passage about the urban shift 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] The world is undergoing a significant transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. [II]
As environmental concerns grow and the effects of climate change become increasingly evident, countries
around the globe are actively looking for sustainable alternatives. [III] This shift is driven by a combination of
market forces, technological advancements, and policy changes aimed at reducing carbon emissions. [IV]
One significant factor pushing this transition is the depletion of fossil fuels. As reserves diminish,
energy prices can become volatile, prompting governments and companies to explore alternative energy sources
like wind, solar, and hydroelectric power. Additionally, technological innovations have made renewable energy
more efficient and cost-effective, making it an attractive option for both commercial and residential use.
However, transitioning to renewable energy does not come without challenges. The initial investment
costs can be high, and there are concerns regarding how renewable energy sources can adequately meet
fluctuating demand. Furthermore, the shift may lead to job losses in traditional fossil fuel industries, causing
socioeconomic issues that need addressing.
Despite these challenges, there are numerous benefits to embracing renewable energy. It significantly
reduces greenhouse gas emissions, leading to improved public health and environmental outcomes. Moreover,
renewable energy sources can provide energy security and lessen dependence on imported fuels, contributing to
national security.
37 To facilitate this transition, governments must implement thoughtful policies and incentives for both
consumers and businesses. By investing in renewable energy infrastructure, providing education and resources,
and supporting displaced workers, they can ensure that the move towards renewable energy must be
inclusive.

Read the following passage about endangered languages 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.
There are approximately 8,000 species of birds in the world today. However, only a few of these are
widely recognized: sparrows, pigeons, eagles, parrots, and others. So, what about the lesser-known bird
species? According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), nearly one-third of the
world’s bird species are now at risk of extinction, with some having populations of fewer than 1,000
individuals. Over the past century, about 150 bird species have gone extinct.
Sadly, when we lose a bird species, we lose a piece of nature's balance. Birds play crucial roles in
various ecosystems, such as controlling insect populations, pollinating plants, and dispersing seeds. One
example is the honeycreeper, a brightly colored bird native to Hawaii. Honeycreepers are essential pollinators
for certain tropical flowers, and their unique feeding habits demonstrate a close relationship with their habitat.
Efforts are being made to save endangered bird species. In the Galapagos Islands, conservation
programs focus on protecting habitats critical to birds like the Galapagos penguin. In India, special reserves
help protect endangered species like the Great Indian Bustard.
Technology also offers promising tools for bird conservation. Bird-watching apps, for example,
allow scientists and citizens alike to record bird sightings and monitor bird populations. These apps provide
valuable data for conservation efforts and enable people worldwide to appreciate and support bird diversity.

Read the following passage about the urban shift 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.
Societies and Their Challenges
Societies are complex networks of individuals who share common values, norms, and institutions. These
social structures provide a framework for people to interact, cooperate, and coexist peacefully. Each society
develops its own unique systems, shaped by cultural, economic, and political influences. For instance, some
societies prioritize individual freedom, while others emphasize collective responsibilities. As societies continue
to evolve, they face both opportunities and challenges that test their resilience and adaptability.
One of the greatest challenges for many societies today is inequality. (I) This inequality can manifest in
different forms, such as income gaps, access to healthcare, and educational disparities. (II) When resources
and opportunities are unevenly distributed, it can lead to social tension and limit upward mobility for those in
disadvantaged groups. (III) Efforts to reduce inequality often involve policy changes, such as providing
affordable healthcare and improving education systems. (IV)

growth have led to environmental degradation, which affects the quality of life for many people. In response,
some societies are adopting sustainable practices, like recycling, conserving energy, and reducing waste.

transcend borders.
Despite these challenges, societies also benefit from technological advancements. Innovations in
communication, transportation, and healthcare have improved the standard of living for many people and
facilitated global connections. However, the rapid pace of change can sometimes create a divide between
generations, as older individuals may struggle to adapt to new technologies. Overall, societies are constantly
evolving, balancing between preserving traditions and embracing tiếp nhận change to meet the needs of their
