correct answer to each of the questions.<br />
Despite widespread assumptions to the contrary, there is no prescribed pathway for the<br />
development of a society, no single model on which development strategies should be based. The<br />
Western model of development, conceived linear process involving largely economic factors, is often<br />
incompatible with the complex social, cultural and political dimensions of societies pursuing different<br />
goals, reflecting their own values. The ideology of development has all too often tended to damage the<br />
social fabric and foundations- often rooted in traditions of communal solidarity- of the communities that<br />
have received “development aid”<br />
Just as no development strategy can be said to be culturally neutral, a culturally sensitive<br />
approach to development is the key to addressing the interlinked social, economic and environmental<br />
problems confronting the planet as a whole. Cultural diversity - which emphasizes the dynamic<br />
interactions between cultures and sensitivity to cultural contexts - thus becomes a key lever for ensuring<br />
sustainable, holistic development strategies. While the international community, in its attempts to<br />
operationalize the concept of sustainable development over the last two decades, has begun to<br />
acknowledge the role of culture in the development process, the cultural factor has yet to be fully<br />
integrated into the development equation.<br />
The 1987 Bruntland Report of the UN Commission on Environment and Development (UNCED),<br />
entitled our Common Future, was seminal in its assertion that genuine development must be sustainable denoting a form of growth “that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future<br />
generations to meet their own needs". At the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, sustainability was<br />
conceived in terms of the three pillars of economic viability, social responsiveness and respect for the<br />
environment. These pillars have since served as the basis for important standard-setting instruments,<br />
including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Nations Framework Convention on<br />
Climate Change (UNFCCC). The 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg<br />
went further by recognizing cultural diversity as a significant cross-cutting factor in sustainable<br />
development. Cultural diversity must be seen as a cross-cutting (rather than as a separate, fourth pillar of<br />
sustainability), with an important role to play in all development projects, from poverty eradication and<br />
the safeguarding of biodiversity to resource management and climate change.<br />
Câu 3: It is stated in paragraph 3 that ______.<br />
A. sustainable development does not only meet the needs of the present but also of future generations<br />

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the<br />
correct answer to each of the questions.<br />
There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently<br />
linked to one another are earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great amount of<br />
devastation when they hit. However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen<br />
without them.<br />
The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is the outer<br />
layer of the Earth. It is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates. There are<br />
a few enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is<br />
fluid. As a result, the plates are in constant - yet slow - motion. The plates may move away from or<br />
towards other plates. In some cases, they collide violently with the plates adjoining them. The movement<br />
of the plates causes tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up. When it is released,<br />
an earthquake happens.<br />
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only<br />
scientific instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they<br />
cause little harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and<br />
other structures to collapse. They may additionally injure and skill thousands of people and might even<br />
cause the land to change it appearance.<br />
Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's<br />
oceans. Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water in<br />
the ocean. When this occurs, a tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in<br />
all directions from the place where the earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and<br />
can travel thousands of kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea.<br />
This causes the tsunamis to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami - one<br />
more than ten meters in height - can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human<br />
settlements, and kill large numbers of people.<br />

Read the passage and mark A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the blanks<br />
Last year, there were millions of international tourist arrivals across the globe. Whether they were<br />
students on their (46)______ years looking for overseas adventure, stressed-out workers hoping to get<br />
away for a weekend, or retirees (47)______ to relax in an exotic location- clearly none of them thought<br />
they could find the same experience at home. The question is whether foreign travel brings more<br />
advantages or disadvantages.<br />
An obvious positive point is that going abroad sometimes helps people to expand their knowledge<br />
of the world. If they are (48)_____ - minded, they can learn about new cultures and hopefully gain a more<br />
accurate understanding about their way of life. In addition, there is the economic benefit of tourism to<br />
countries which have few other resources. It can provide an income to many people within the industry.<br />
Having said that, some people simply go to a foreign resort (49)______ by high walls and therefore learn<br />
little about their holiday (50)______. Another issue is that hordes of tourists often spoil the “unspoilt”<br />
places they visit. The most recent example of this is Antarctica, where last year cruise ships took<br />
thousands of visitors to view the disappearing icebergs and wildlife. Vegetation, nesting penguins and<br />
resting walrus are vulnerable when humans intrude.<br />
Câu 46: A. space<br />
B. break<br />
C. pause<br />
D. gap<br />
Câu 47: A. wish<br />
B. wished<br />
C. wishing<br />
D. to wish<br />
Câu 48: A. open<br />
B. narrow<br />
C. absent<br />
D. single<br />
Câu 49: A. covered<br />
B. surrounded<br />
C. sheltered<br />
D. stopped<br />
