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 23 to 30.
Technology is evolving at an astonishing pace, transforming the way we live, work, and interact. One
of the most groundbreaking advancements is artificial intelligence (AI). AI allows machines to perform tasks
that typically require human intelligence, such as recognizing speech, making decisions, and solving
problems. Many industries, from healthcare to finance, are already benefiting from AI. For example, in
medicine, AI helps doctors diagnose diseases more accurately, while in business, it assists companies in
analyzing large sets of data to make better decisions.
Another significant technological development is the rise of 5G networks. This new generation of
mobile connectivity promises much faster internet speeds and more reliable connections, enabling innovations
like self-driving cars and smart cities. With 5G, their ability to communicate and process data in real-time
will be greatly enhanced, making it possible to connect millions of devices simultaneously, which will further
improve the efficiency of everything from traffic management to energy distribution.
However, with these advancements come concerns. Privacy is a major issue as more personal data is being
collected and stored. Some worry that AI could lead to job losses as machines take over tasks previously done
by humans. Furthermore, as 5G networks roll out, there are fears about potential health risks associated with
prolonged exposure to radiation.
Despite these concerns, most experts agree that technology, if properly regulated, can bring about
great benefits. Governments and organizations worldwide are working to ensure that technological
advancements are used responsibly and ethically, ensuring a brighter future for all.
Question 23: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an industry that benefits from AI?

A. AI is responsible for creating more job opportunities for humans.
B. Machines will automatically replace all human tasks in the future.
C. AI might cause people to lose jobs because machines can take over their tasks.
D. AI will not affect human jobs at all as there are no machines can replace humans.

A. 5G networks will help improve the efficiency of energy management.
B. Governments are not concerned about technology development.
C. 5G technology will decrease the number of devices that can be connected.

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 31 to 40.
[I] Urban living may offer the best solution to the environmental crises we face today. [II] With rural-
to-urban migration accelerating across the globe, cities are now home to more than half the world’s
Trang 3/4 - Mã đề thi 1023
population. [III] This trend is set to continue, especially in megacities with populations over 10 million. [IV]
However, cities occupy just two percent of the Earth’s land surface yet consume three-quarters of its
resources, producing vast quantities of greenhouse gases and waste. This raises urgent questions about how
cities can become more sustainable.
Despite their problems, cities also offer major opportunities. Their size allows for economies of scale
in energy generation, public transport, and waste management. In theory, it is even possible for cities to partly
feed themselves. The challenge is to design urban environments that reduce environmental impact while
improving quality of life.
Governments and urban planners are now proposing bold solutions. The key strategies involve two
main principles: recycling as much as possible, and minimizing car use. This includes integrating residential
and work areas, promoting high-density living near public transport, and creating multi-centered cities to
reduce travel. Several cities have already introduced eco-initiatives, such as green buildings powered by
renewable energy, public bicycle systems, and hydrogen-fueled buses.
Meanwhile, informal urban settlements - shanty towns - are receiving unexpected attention from eco-
urbanists. Although often lacking sanitation and infrastructure, these communities are dense, walkable,
and resourceful. They recycle waste, rely on minimal transport, and exhibit vibrant social life. Their
spontaneous development contrasts sharply with rigidly planned cities, yet they may offer insights into
sustainable urban living.
Future eco-cities may combine the efficiency of modern design with the flexibility and adaptability
found in shanties. Cities that avoid car-dependency and focus on compact city layouts that reduce distances
between living and working areas offer both environmental benefits and improved urban life. The goal is not
only to reduce emissions, but also to build cities where people can live better - using less.
Question 31: Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
The shift to a predominantly urban population marks a historic moment in how humans live on the planet.
A. [II] B. [IV] C. [III] D. [I]
Question 32: The word trend in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by ______.
A. city expansion plans B. migration to cities C. global warming D. energy shortages
Question 33: The word their in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. opportunities B. cities C. resources D. countries
Question 34: According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of city living?
A. efficient public transportation B. potential for self-sufficient food systems
C. easier access to medical care D. economies of scale in energy use
Question 35: Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
A. Cities must be downsized to reduce population pressure.
B. Eco-city projects focus mainly on energy efficiency in housing.
C. Cities can be redesigned to reduce environmental impact and car dependence.
D. The use of public transport is now being replaced by the zero-emission vehicles.
Question 36: The word compact in the paragraph 5 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.
A. crowded B. spacious C. efficient D. dense
Question 37: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Some cities are already experimenting with eco-friendly infrastructure.
B. Urban migration is now decreasing mainly for environmental concerns.
C. Cities that use fewer cars will definitely require more land.
D. Shanty towns are considered ideal models of future cities.
Question 38: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. These communities have better sanitation than most developed cities.
B. Their social problems make them unsuitable for sustainable design.
C. Their limited access to public services makes them even less environmentally damaging.
D. Despite poor living conditions, shanty towns offer environmental and social advantages.
Question 39: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage
A. City planning must incorporate flexible elements for long-term success.
B. Modern buildings are more effective than traditional ones in every way.
C. Rural lifestyles are less environmentally efficient than urban ones.
D. Most shanty towns will soon be replaced by modern urban centers.
Question 40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. Cities are primarily responsible for climate change and require significant reduction in the sizes.
B. Sustainable urban design can address environmental challenges while improving life in cities.
C. Urban migration should be reversed to protect the planet’s resources.
D. Eco-cities are unrealistic in a world with limited access to clean energy.
