Title: Preserving Cuc Phuong ecosystem
To: Vietnam Wildlife Conservation Committee
Date: February 25th, 2023
Prepared by: Vu Hoang Ha Introduction
Cuc Phuong is famous for its wonderfully rich ecosystem. (1)_______, the National Park has been threatened
by human activities such as illegal hunting, logging and littering. Therefore, we would like to propose some
ideas for protecting its ecosystem. Details
We would like to create an online photo album of the area on the park (2)_________. The photos will show
eco-friendly activities such as (3) ________ litter, going on ecotours, planting trees, and activities that can harm
the ecosystem in Cuc Phuong, e.g, cutting down trees, or littering in the forest. Anyone interested, especially (4)
________ to Cuc Phuong, will be able to take photos and post them on the website for everyone to see. This
initiative will last for at least (5) ______ year. Goals and benefits
Our goals are to raise awareness of the need to protect Cuc Phuong ecosystem, and to promote environmentally
friendly activities. (6)________ campaign will also help people identify any activity which can damage the
ecosystem and report it when they see it.

Read the following passage about the green energy 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 7 to 16.
As we continue to face the impacts of climate change, having a green environment has become
increasingly important to the future of our society. To achieve this, the world is shifting towards green energy,
and two particular types of energy at the centre of this movement are solar power and wind power.
(I) Solar power is all about harnessing the energy of the sun by using solar panels to convert sunlight
into usable electricity. (II) Moreover, solar panels are perfect for installation on a small scale, such as in private
homes, since they require very little maintenance and have a long lifespan. (III) However, the ability to
generate solar power depends on the time of day and weather conditions. (IV) This means that solar panels are
often less useful if they are installed in places where sunny weather is not typical.
Wind power, on the other hand, involves converting the energy of the wind into electricity using large
turbines. Wind power doesn't produce any greenhouse gases, but it is not ideal for private use since turbines
require consistent care. However, wind farms can be installed on a large scale and are able to produce
electricity continuously regardless of the time of day. This means that if there were more investments in wind
power, it could be a viable way to provide energy for major cities and even for whole regions.
Wind and solar power contribute significantly to a green environment by reducing our reliance on fossil
fuels, helping us cut down on pollution and slow climate change. Additionally, using renewable energy sources
helps promote spending on sustainable development by creating new career opportunities in the green energy sector.
For now, the biggest challenge of adopting green energy is the costs associated with installation and
infrastructure, but the benefits unquestionably outweigh the downsides. If we want to stop the climate crisis
and create a better and more sustainable future, green energy sources will undoubtedly be the key. (Adapted from Bright) Question 7.
Where in paragraph 2 does the following sentence best fit?
This highly efficient form of energy produces zero emissions, so it can significantly reduce our carbon footprint. A. (IV) B. (II) C. (I) D. (III) Question 8.
The phrase harnessing the energy in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by_______. A. saving the energy B. containing the energy C. exploiting the power D. storing the power Question 9.
The word they in paragraph 2 refers to________ A. energy sources B. solar panels C. weather conditions D. private homes
Question 10. According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT a benefit of solar power?
A. Ability to generate power at all times
B. Suitability for small-scale installations C. Long lifespan
D. Low maintenance requirements
Question 11. Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 3?
A. Wind power is eco-friendly but unsuitable for private use due to turbine maintenance needs.
B. Wind power produces greenhouse gases and cannot supply cities on a large scale.
C. Wind power requires private turbines to supply electricity continuously for cities and regions.
D. Large wind farms could sustainably power entire cities with investment in wind technology.
Question 12. The word continuously in paragraph 3 is CLOSEST in meaning to________ A. regularly B. endlessly C. periodically D. briefly
Question 13. The word reducing in paragraph 4 is OPPOSITE in meaning to_______. A. minimizing B. limiting C. increasing D. decreasing
Question 14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Solar power can be generated at any time of day or night.
B. Solar energy cannot be used in homes because of high maintenance costs.
C. Solar and wind energy reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
D. Wind power is suitable for private homes due to its low maintenance needs.
Question 15. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 5?
A. Green energy offers very few benefits compared to its disadvantages.
B. The drawbacks are too significant to make green energy worthwhile.
C. Although green energy has some disadvantages, the positives far exceed them.
D. The disadvantages of green energy will always outbalance the benefits.
Question 16. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A. Solar and wind power reduce electricity costs and work best when installed together in every region.
B. Solar and wind power have limited potential due to installation costs and inconsistent energygeneration.
C. Wind power is a more efficient renewable energy source than solar power due to its continuous electricity production.
D. Solar and wind power are green energy sources with distinct features and essential roles in fighting climate change.
Read the following passage about fast fashion 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 17 to 24.
The phrase fast fashion describes the trendiest clothes available at the lowest prices. The prices are low
because the stores want their customers to return very soon - maybe even the next week to buy more of the
newest fashions. Some of these fast fashion stores display new clothes weekly or even twice a week!
In the traditional fashion industry, new styles come out four times a year. This schedule follows the four
seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. In the fast fashion industry, a new "season" happens every month or
so. Fast fashion makes a lot of money because there are more selling seasons within one year.
One important reason why fast fashion is less expensive than traditional fashion is that the quality is
worse. A trendy shirt from a fast fashion store doesn't need to last for years because it won't be stylish next
season. Trendy clothes usually won't last because the materials used to make them are cheap and not as good
quality. For example, in a fast fashion store, you are more likely to find a sweater made of acrylic,
a synthetic material, than wool.
Some people think fast fashion is good because it means they can buy stylish clothes at low prices.
Others disagree. They think that fast fashion creates a lot of waste. Since the early 2000s, when the fast
fashion trend started, the production of clothes has doubled. Now people are buying more clothes, and are
wearing them for shorter amounts of time.
Finally, clothing manufacturing can be bad for the environment. Producing many materials, even
natural ones such as cotton, requires huge amounts of water. Making synthetic materials can involve oil and
other chemicals. And dyes used to color clothes are also a source of pollution.
