XII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Mental health issues such as anxiety and depression were a leading cause of global health problems
even before the spread of COVID-19; however, they’ve gotten worse. Since the first year of the COVID-19
pandemic, anxiety and depression rates worldwide have increased by an overwhelming 25%. In the U.S, 4 in 10
adults have reported symptoms of anxiety or depression during the pandemic, compared with 1 in 10 from
January to June 2019.
Among the most affected are young adults and women. The surge in people struggling with mental
illnesses has coincided with gaps in mental care services as well.
Research suggests that the pandemic has exacerbated the impacts of loneliness. Additionally, people’s
fear of missing out, also known as FOMO, hasn’t decreased even since in-person social gatherings became less
frequent. But small daily actions - such as a short walk, break from social media or even a catnap - can add up
to have an impact on mental health. Separately, counselling, therapy and medication prescribed by health care
providers are effective treatments for those experiencing mental illness.

XIV. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
The average daily time spent online by adults increased by nearly an hour during the UK’s spring
lockdown when compared to the previous year, according to communications regulator Ofcom, with numerous
countries back under severe pandemic restrictions, many of us once again find ourselves questioning whether
our heavy reliance on technology is impacting our health.
It’s true that digital devices have provided new means of work, education, connection, and
entertainment during lockdown. But the perceived pressure to be online, the tendency to procrastinate to avoid
undertaking tasks, and the use of digital platforms as a way to escape stress all have the potential to turn healthy
behaviours into habits. This repetitive use can develop into addictive patterns, which can in turn affect a user’s
wellbeing.
Digital addiction refers to the addictive and excessive use of digital devices. The design of digital
platforms themselves contributes to this addictive use. Notifications, news feeds, likes and comments have all
been shown to contribute towards a battle for your attention, which leads users to increase the time they spend
looking at screens.
Screen time is an obvious measure of digital addiction, although researchers have noted that there is no
simple way to determine how much screen time one can experience before it becomes problematic. As such,
there is a continued lack of consensus on how we should think about and measure digital addiction.
During a global pandemic, when there often feels like no alternative to using Netflix, or video
conferencing with friends and family, screen time as an indicator of digital addiction is clearly ineffective.
Nonetheless, research conducted on preventing digital addiction does provide insights on how we can all
engage with our digital technologies in a healthier way during a lockdown.

XIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Mental health issues such as anxiety and depression were a leading cause of global health problems
even before the spread of COVID-19; however, they’ve gotten worse. Since the first year of the COVID-19
pandemic, anxiety and depression rates worldwide have increased by an overwhelming 25%. In the U.S, 4 in 10
adults have reported symptoms of anxiety or depression during the pandemic, compared with 1 in 10 from
January to June 2019.
Among the most affected are young adults and women. The surge in people struggling with mental
illnesses has coincided with gaps in mental care services as well.
Research suggests that the pandemic has exacerbated the impacts of loneliness. Additionally, people’s
fear of missing out, also known as FOMO, hasn’t decreased even since in-person social gatherings became less
frequent. But small daily actions - such as a short walk, break from social media or even a catnap - can add up
to have an impact on mental health. Separately, counselling, therapy and medication prescribed by health care
providers are effective treatments for those experiencing mental illness.

XIV. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
The average daily time spent online by adults increased by nearly an hour during the UK’s spring
lockdown when compared to the previous year, according to communications regulator Ofcom, with numerous
countries back under severe pandemic restrictions, many of us once again find ourselves questioning whether
our heavy reliance on technology is impacting our health.
It’s true that digital devices have provided new means of work, education, connection, and
19. entertainment during lockdown. But the perceived pressure to be online, the tendency to procrastinate to avoid
undertaking tasks, and the use of digital platforms as a way to escape stress all have the potential to turn healthy
behaviours into habits. This repetitive use can develop into addictive patterns, which can in turn affect a user’s
wellbeing.
Digital addiction refers to the addictive and excessive use of digital devices. The design of digital
platforms themselves contributes to this addictive use. Notifications, news feeds, likes and comments have all
been shown to contribute towards a battle for your attention, which leads users to increase the time they spend
looking at screens.
Screen time is an obvious measure of digital addiction, although researchers have noted that there is no
simple way to determine how much screen time one can experience before it becomes problematic. As such,
there is a continued lack of consensus on how we should think about and measure digital addiction.
During a global pandemic, when there often feels like no alternative to using Netflix, or video
conferencing with friends and family, screen time as an indicator of digital addiction is clearly ineffective.
Nonetheless, research conducted on preventing digital addiction does provide insights on how we can all
engage with our digital technologies in a healthier way during a lockdown.

Try to imagine what life would be like if there were no electric lights, no television, or no cars. What
if you had no running water to take a shower and no refrigerator to keep your food cold? Life would be tough
without these great inventions.
Since ancient times, people have been inventing new machines, materials, and ways of doing things.
The people who come up with new things are called inventors. Sometimes an inventor makes an invention to
solve a problem. Sometimes an inventor discovers something new by accident.
Everyone probably has his or her favorite inventions. One great invention was the printing press. A
German named Johannes Gutenberg in the 1400s invented a press that made it easy to print books. Books
became much more common after the invention of the printing press. The books helped other inventors make
new things.
The invention of the steam engine around 1700 led to the Industrial Revolution. Inventors made many
new machines that were powered by steam engines. They invented locomotives, steamboats, and all kinds of
factory machines.
Another great invention, the internal combustion engine, led to the invention of automobiles in the
late 1800s. Inventors made better and better internal combustion engines. These are the engines we use today
in cars, trucks, buses, and airplanes.
The discovery of electricity led to many wonderful inventions. Many scientists studied electricity. An
American inventor named Thomas A. Edison invented the electric lamp, phonograph, and other things
that ran on electricity in the late 1800s.
New things are invented today faster than ever before. Inventors are making new kitchen appliances,
toys, computers, video games, telephones, and all kinds of other things.

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 34 to 40.
Each advance in microscopic technique has provided scientists with new perspective, on the function
of living organisms and the nature of matter itself. The invention of the visible-light microscope late in the
sixteenth century introduced a previously unknown realm of single-celled plants and animals. In the
twentieth century, electron microscopes have provided direct views of viruses and minuscule surface
structures. Now another type of microscope, one that utilizes X rays rather than light or electrons, offers a
different way of examining tiny details; it should extend human perception still farther into the natural world.
The dream of building an X-ray microscope dates to 1895; its development, however, was virtually
hafted in the 1940's because the development of the electron microscope was progressing rapidly. During the
1940's electron microscopes routinely achieved resolution better than that possible with a visible-light
microscope, while the performance of X-ray microscopes resisted improvement. In recent years, however,
interest in X-ray microscopes has revived, largely because of advances such as the development of new
sources of X-ray illumination. As a result, the brightness available today is millions of times that of X-ray
tubes, which, for most of the century, were the only available sources of soft X-rays.
The new X-ray microscopes considerably improve on the resolution provided by optical microscopes.
They can also be used to map the distribution of certain chemical elements. Some can form pictures in
extremely short times; others hold the promise of special capabilities such as three-dimensional imaging.
Unlike conventional electron microscopy, X-ray microscopy enables specimens to be kept in air and in
water, which means that biological samples can be studied under conditions similar to their natural state. The
illumination used, so-called soft X rays in the wavelength range of twenty to forty angstroms (an angstrom is
one ten-billionth of a meter), is also sufficiently penetrating to image intact biological cells in many cases.
Because of the wavelength of the X rays used, soft X-ray microscopes will never match the highest resolution
possible with electron microscopes. Rather, their special properties will make possible investigations that will
complement those performed with light- and electron-based instruments.
Question 34: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The detail seen through a microscope B. Sources of illumination for microscope
C. A new kind of microscope D. Outdated microscopic techniques
Question 35: The word "minuscule" in the first paragraph is opposite in meaning to ______.
A. circular B. dangerous C. complex D. enormous
Question 36: The word "enables" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. constitutes B. specifies C. expands D. allows
Question 37: Why did it take so long to develop the X-ray microscope?
A. Funds for research were insufficient.
B. The source of illumination was not bright enough until recently
C. Materials used to manufacture X-ray tubes were difficult to obtain.
D. X-ray microscopes were too complicated to operate.
Question 38: The word "it" in paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. a type of microscope B. human perception C. the natural world D. light
Question 39: According to the passage, the invention of the visible-light microscope allowed scientists to
________.
A. see viruses directly
B. develop the electron microscope later on
C. understand more about the distribution of the chemical elements
D. discover single-celled plants and animals they had never seen before
Question 40: Based on the information in the passage, what can be inferred about X-ray microscopes in the
future?
A. They will probably replace electron microscopes altogether.
B. They will eventually be much cheaper to produce than they are now.
C. They will provide information not available from other kinds of microscopes.
D. They will eventually chance the illumination range that they now use.

World Wide Web means that information on every conceivable subject is now available to us. Clearly, for
many people this has made life much easier and more convenient.
(26) __________, not all the effects of the new technology have been beneficial. Many people feel that
the widespread use of e-mail is destroying traditional forms of communication such as letter writing,
telephone and face-to-face conversation. With ever increasing use of information technology these negative
elements are likely to increase in the future.
In addition, the huge size of the Web means it is almost impossible to control and regulate. This has led
to many concerns regarding children (27) ______ unsuitable websites. Yet perhaps the biggest threat to IT in

Try to imagine what life would be like if there were no electric lights, no television, or no cars. What
if you had no running water to take a shower and no refrigerator to keep your food cold? Life would be tough
without these great inventions.
Since ancient times, people have been inventing new machines, materials, and ways of doing things.
The people who come up with new things are called inventors. Sometimes an inventor makes an invention to
solve a problem. Sometimes an inventor discovers something new by accident.
Everyone probably has his or her favorite inventions. One great invention was the printing press. A
German named Johannes Gutenberg in the 1400s invented a press that made it easy to print books. Books
became much more common after the invention of the printing press. The books helped other inventors make
new things.
The invention of the steam engine around 1700 led to the Industrial Revolution. Inventors made many
new machines that were powered by steam engines. They invented locomotives, steamboats, and all kinds of
factory machines.
Another great invention, the internal combustion engine, led to the invention of automobiles in the
late 1800s. Inventors made better and better internal combustion engines. These are the engines we use today
in cars, trucks, buses, and airplanes.
The discovery of electricity led to many wonderful inventions. Many scientists studied electricity. An
American inventor named Thomas A. Edison invented the electric lamp, phonograph, and other things
that ran on electricity in the late 1800s.
New things are invented today faster than ever before. Inventors are making new kitchen appliances,
toys, computers, video games, telephones, and all kinds of other things.

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 34 to 40.
Each advance in microscopic technique has provided scientists with new perspective, on the function
of living organisms and the nature of matter itself. The invention of the visible-light microscope late in the
sixteenth century introduced a previously unknown realm of single-celled plants and animals. In the
twentieth century, electron microscopes have provided direct views of viruses and minuscule surface
structures. Now another type of microscope, one that utilizes X rays rather than light or electrons, offers a
different way of examining tiny details; it should extend human perception still farther into the natural world.
The dream of building an X-ray microscope dates to 1895; its development, however, was virtually
hafted in the 1940's because the development of the electron microscope was progressing rapidly. During the
1940's electron microscopes routinely achieved resolution better than that possible with a visible-light
microscope, while the performance of X-ray microscopes resisted improvement. In recent years, however,
interest in X-ray microscopes has revived, largely because of advances such as the development of new
sources of X-ray illumination. As a result, the brightness available today is millions of times that of X-ray
tubes, which, for most of the century, were the only available sources of soft X-rays.
The new X-ray microscopes considerably improve on the resolution provided by optical microscopes.
They can also be used to map the distribution of certain chemical elements. Some can form pictures in
extremely short times; others hold the promise of special capabilities such as three-dimensional imaging.
Unlike conventional electron microscopy, X-ray microscopy enables specimens to be kept in air and in
water, which means that biological samples can be studied under conditions similar to their natural state. The
illumination used, so-called soft X rays in the wavelength range of twenty to forty angstroms (an angstrom is
one ten-billionth of a meter), is also sufficiently penetrating to image intact biological cells in many cases.
Because of the wavelength of the X rays used, soft X-ray microscopes will never match the highest resolution
possible with electron microscopes. Rather, their special properties will make possible investigations that will
complement those performed with light- and electron-based instruments.
Question 34: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The detail seen through a microscope B. Sources of illumination for microscope
C. A new kind of microscope D. Outdated microscopic techniques
Question 35: The word "minuscule" in the first paragraph is opposite in meaning to ______.
A. circular B. dangerous C. complex D. enormous
Question 36: The word "enables" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. constitutes B. specifies C. expands D. allows
Question 37: Why did it take so long to develop the X-ray microscope?
A. Funds for research were insufficient.
B. The source of illumination was not bright enough until recently
C. Materials used to manufacture X-ray tubes were difficult to obtain.
D. X-ray microscopes were too complicated to operate.
Question 38: The word "it" in paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. a type of microscope B. human perception C. the natural world D. light
Question 39: According to the passage, the invention of the visible-light microscope allowed scientists to
________.
A. see viruses directly
B. develop the electron microscope later on
C. understand more about the distribution of the chemical elements
D. discover single-celled plants and animals they had never seen before
Question 40: Based on the information in the passage, what can be inferred about X-ray microscopes in the
future?
A. They will probably replace electron microscopes altogether.
B. They will eventually be much cheaper to produce than they are now.
C. They will provide information not available from other kinds of microscopes.
D. They will eventually chance the illumination range that they now use.

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 29 to 33.
Vietnam’s population is ageing quickly. In 2017, more than 10 per cent of the population will be
60 and older, and in 15-20 years the elderly will account for one third of the total population. This raises
concerns about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly at a time when Vietnam is focusing on
economic integration and requires a large labor force. So far two solutions have been proposed: to loosen
the two-child policy and to increase the retirement age to 58 for women and 62 for men. By ending the
two-child policy the government expects to make up for the ageing population within the next 20 years.
But its effect could be creating an uncontrollable boom in the Vietnamese population. When the
government loosened the two-child policy in 2015 in a trial period, in the first 6 months of 2016 the third
child birth rate increased remarkably by 7.5 per cent
Raising the retirement age has been proposed by the Ministry of Labor pending parliamentary
evaluation in May 2017. While the policy is beneficial in utilizing the work experience of the elderly
while creating savings in the pension budget, it also means fewer job prospects and promotion
opportunities for younger generations. It is also not in the interest of all the elderly, especially the 70 per
cent of Vietnam's labor force working in manual labor-intensive sectors such as agriculture,
manufacturing and construction where working above the age of 50 can be dangerous and unproductive.
Despite these drawbacks, raising the retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key
solutions to the ageing population problem in Vietnam. However, these are only temporary solutions.
Question 29. The best title for this passage could be ________.
A. Vietnam struggling with ageing population
B. Stopping the two-child policy in Vietnam
C. Raising the retirement age in Vietnam
D. How to solve the aging population in Vietnam
Question 30. Which statement is probably TRUE according to the information in the paragraph 1?
A. In 2017, the elderly take up for one third of the total population, this leads to more concerns
about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly.
B. In 2015, the two-child policy has been officially tightened and succeeded.
C. The government would promote families to have two children to compensate for the ageing
population within the next 20 years.
D. In the next 15-17 years, Vietnam's economy will need a large labor force to integrate with
global economy.
Question 31. The word "temporary" in paragraph 2 means ________.
A. constant B. permanent C. short-term D. long-term
Question 32. The word “its" in paragraph 1 refers to ________?
