Read the following passage about the Global Warming: A Looming Crisis 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.
Global warming is a pressing issue that is affecting every nook and cranny of the globe. The rise in
Earth’s average temperature is primarily driven by human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels,
which releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, creating a
"greenhouse effect" that is warming the planet. As temperatures rise, the effects on weather patterns and
ecosystems become more extreme and noticeable.
One of the most alarming consequences of global warming is the increase in extreme weather events.
[I] Hurricanes, wildfires, and heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense. [II]Rising temperatures
are also contributing to the melting of polar ice caps, which leads to rising sea levels. [III]Coastal cities,
such as Miami and New York, face the real threat of flooding, while vulnerable ecosystems, like coral reefs,
are dying off at an alarming rate. In addition, [IV], with crops failing due to unpredictable rainfall and
extreme droughts.
Despite these challenges, there is hope. A shift toward renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and
hydroelectric power is one way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Governments around the world are
adopting policies aimed at reducing carbon footprints and limiting emissions from industrial sectors. Many
countries are also investing in energy-efficient technologies and seeking to transition away from fossil
fuels in favor of greener, sustainable alternatives. However, much more needs to be done to slow down
the warming process before the situation becomes irreversible.
The fight against global warming requires a collective effort from all countries, industries, and
individuals. While large-scale policies and innovations are necessary, individual actions also play a critical
role in mitigating the crisis. People can reduce their carbon footprint by using public transportation,
conserving energy at home, and reducing waste. If every person contributes, the global community can help
slow down the effects of global warming, ensuring that future generations inherit a planet that is livable and
sustainable.
Question 31: The phrase “every nook and cranny” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by________.
A. Break down B. Run into C. Pick
up D. Spread across
Question 32: The word “intense” in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _________.
A. Severe B. Extreme C. Strong D. Mild

changing weather patterns are causing agricultural losses
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D.
[IV]

rising sea levels, which pose risks to cities and ecosystems.
C. Rising global temperatures are affecting ecosystems and coastal cities, with increasing extreme
weather events and rising sea levels being major concerns.
D. Global warming causes a rise in extreme weather events, melting ice caps, and coastal flooding, all
of which affect the environment and ecosystems.

Read the following passage about A Strong Partnership for Growth 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.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a regional organization consisting of 10
countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and
Cambodia. Founded in 1967, ASEAN's main goals are to promote political and economic cooperation and
ensure regional stability. Since joining ASEAN in 1995, Vietnam has benefitted from increased economic
growth, political cooperation, and stronger international ties.
Vietnam has made significant progress economically since joining ASEAN. The ASEAN Economic
Community (AEC), established in 2015, aims to create a single market for Southeast Asia. This initiative
has allowed Vietnam to expand its exports, attract foreign investments, and improve its infrastructure. As a
member, Vietnam has access to ASEAN’s free trade agreements (FTAs), such as the ASEAN Free Trade
Area (AFTA), which reduces tariffs and promotes easier trade among member countries.
In addition to economic benefits, Vietnam also plays an important role in ASEAN’s political and
security matters. Vietnam has been active in addressing regional conflicts, particularly in the South China
Sea. By promoting diplomatic solutions, Vietnam helps maintain peace and stability in the region. Vietnam
also works with other ASEAN members to fight transnational issues such as terrorism and human
trafficking.
Despite the benefits, there are challenges. Vietnam, as a developing country, sometimes faces
difficulties in balancing its interests with wealthier ASEAN members like Singapore or Brunei. However,
these challenges also present opportunities for Vietnam to learn from its more developed neighbors
and adopt new practices in areas like innovation, sustainability, and infrastructure.
Question 23: Which of the following is not mentioned as a benefit of ASEAN membership for Vietnam?
A. Increased economic growth
B. Greater military power

Read the following passage about the Bridging the Generation Gap 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.
The generation gap refers to the differences in attitudes, values, and behaviors between younger and
older generations. These differences often arise from changes in technology, culture, and societal values.
While the generation gap has been around for centuries, it's more in the spotlight today due to rapid
technological advancements and evolving social norms.
[I]One major cause of the generation gap is technology. [II]Younger generations, who have grown up
with the internet, smartphones, and social media, are more comfortable with digital tools. [III]In contrast,
older generations may find these technologies overwhelming or unnecessary. [IV], with older individuals
feeling disconnected from the modern world.

the more traditional views of older generations, leading to disagreements in families and workplaces.

bring new ideas and innovation, while older generations provide experience and wisdom. By combining the
strengths of both groups, society can move forward in a more balanced and inclusive way.
