Arid regions in the southwestern United States have become increasingly inviting playgrounds for the growing number of recreation seekers who own vehicles such as motorcycles or powered trail bikes and indulge in hill-climbing contests or in carving new trails in the desert. But recent scientific studies show that these off-road vehicles can cause damage to desert landscapes that has long-range effects on the area’s water-conserving characteristics and on the entire ecology, both plant and animal. Research by scientists in the western Mojave Desert in California revealed that the compaction of the sandy arid soil resulting from the passage of just one motorcycle markedly reduced the infiltration ability of the soil and created a stream of rain runoff water that eroded the hillside surface. In addition, the researchers discovered that the soil compaction caused by the off-road vehicles often killed native plant species and resulted in the invasion of different plant species within a few years. The native perennial species required many more years before they showed signs of returning. The scientists calculated that roughly a century would be required for the infiltration capacity of the Mojave soil to be restored after being compacted by vehicles

According to the passage, the damage to plants is _______.

A. unnoticeable

B. superficial

C. long-lasting

D. irreparable

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 6 to 10.

In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the
day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires
immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call
during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A, guests tend to feel they arc not highly regarded if the invitation to
a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the
world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date
more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus,
misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American
life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S no one would
think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, he will say
a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
Câu 6: What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours?
A. You want to see him or her. B. The matter requires careful attention.
C. The matter is somewhat important. D. It is a matter of life or death.
Câu 7: According to the passage, time plays an important role in.
A. everyday life B. private life
c. school life D. social life
Câu 8: According to the passage, the author of the article may agree to which of the following statements?
A. It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in the U.S.
B. It is best for one to make telephone calls at night because it costs much less.
C. If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology.
D. It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some
cultures.

Câu 9: The word promptness in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to.
A. preparationB. hesitationc. politenessD. punctuality
Câu 10: From the passage, we can safely infer that.

A. the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world
B. it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in the day time
C. it makes no difference in the U.S whether yon arc early or late for a business party
D. if a person is late for a date, lie needn’t make any explanation

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 36 to 42.
 
It is estimated that by 2050 more than two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities, up from about 54 percent today. While the many benefits of organized and efficient cities are well understood, we need to recognize that this rapid, often unplanned urbanization brings risks of profound social instability, risks to critical infrastructure, potential water crises and the potential for devastating spread of disease. These risks can only be further exacerbated as this unprecedented transition from rural to urban areas continues.
How effectively these risks can be addressed will increasingly be determined by how well cities are governed. The increased concentration of people, physical assets, infrastructure and economic activities mean that the risks materializing at the city level will have far greater potential to disrupt society than ever before.
Urbanization is by no means bad by itself. It brings important benefits for economic, cultural and societal development. Well managed cities are both efficient and effective, enabling economies of scale and network effects while reducing the impact on the climate of transportation. As such, an urban model can make economic activity more environmentally-friendly. Further, the proximity and diversity of people can spark innovation and create employment as exchanging ideas breeds new ideas.
But these utopian concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization. For example, one of the main factors is rural-urban migration, driven by the prospect of greater employment opportunities and the hope of a better life in cities. But rapidly increasing population density can create severe problems, especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to cope with the influx of new inhabitants. The result may, in extreme cases, be widespread poverty. Estimates suggest that 40% of the world's urban expansion is taking place in slums, exacerbating socio-economic disparities and creating unsanitary conditions that facilitate the spread of disease.
The Global Risks 2015 Report looks at four areas that face particularly daunting challenges in the face of rapid and unplanned urbanization: infrastructure, health, climate change, and social instability. In each of these areas we find new risks that can best be managed or, in some cases, transferred through the mechanism of insurance.

​A. urban expansion ​​B. socio-economic disparities

​A. It minimizes risks for economic, cultural and societal development.
​B. It makes water supply system both efficient and effective.

​D. People may come up with new ideas for innovation.
