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 35.
According to The Official Guide to the Quidditch World Cup – produced by the International
Confederation of Wizards Quidditch Committee (ICWQC) and available through all reputable wizarding
bookstores for what many feel is the ridiculously overpriced sum of thirty nine Galleons – the tournament has
been held every four years since 1473. As with so much else about the wizarding world’s most important
sporting competition, many query the accuracy of this statement.
As only European teams competed during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, purists prefer to date the
Quidditch World Cup’s inception from the seventeenth century when it became open to all continents. There is
also heated debate about the accuracy of some historical accounts of tournaments. A substantial amount of all
post-game analysis centres on whether magical interference took place and whether it made, or ought to have
made, the final result moot.
The ICWQC has the unlucky job of regulating this contentious and anarchic competition. The rulebook
concerning both on- and off-pitch magic is alleged to stretch to nineteen volumes and to include such rules as
Trang 2/4 – Mã đề thi 001
“no dragon is to be introduced into the stadium for any purpose including, but not limited to, team mascot,
coach or cup warmer” and “modification of any part of the referee’s body, whether or not he or she has
requested such modification, will lead to a lifetime ban from the tournament and possibly imprisonment.”
A source of vehement disagreements, a security risk for all who attend it and a frequent focus for unrest and
protest, the Quidditch World Cup is simultaneously the most exhilarating sporting event on Earth and a
logistical nightmare for the host nation.

B. The debate, dispute, or uncertainty concerning the fair play issues.

D. The conflict between supporters of each team in case of misunderstanding.
Question 34: According to paragraph 3, what is NOT mentioned about the Quidditch guidebook?

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.
We are a planet of seven billion people, and this number is growing by about 370,000 people every day.
This is putting a huge strain on the planet's natural resources. For many governments and environmental
organizations, the race is on to drastically reduce our consumption of resources before they run out.
Water is one of our most precious resources. Our quality of life, as well as life itself, depends on the
availability of clean, fresh water. It is the most widely used resource in industry, and plays a major role in
energy production. Although 70 percent of the world is covered in water, only 2.5 percent of that is fresh
water, and less than one percent of that freshwater is readily available to us. Yet we often overestimate how
much water we have, and reduce it further through pollution or inefficient use. Some 92 percent of all fresh
water used annually is dedicated to growing plants and raising animals for food. This means that if water runs
out, our food supply might follow. In India, it is estimated that future water shortages could reduce grain
harvests by 25%. In a country where the population exceeds 1.2 billion people and is growing rapidly every
year, this is a huge concern. India, like many developing countries, is already struggling to provide for its
population. While most people in developed countries can get water at the turn of a tap, nearly four billion
people elsewhere lack access to safe water, according to United Nations Development Report.
Rain forests are another endangered-resource. While rain forests are critically important to humanity, they
are rapidly being destroyed by human activities. The biggest cause of deforestation is conversion of forest land
for agriculture. Often called the "Lungs of the Planet”, rain forests once covered 14 percent of the Earth's land
surface, but this has shrunk to only six percent. Every second, an area of rain forest, the size of a football field,
is destroyed at this rate. Rain forests will possibly disappear completely in less than 40 years.
