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 />
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 Western<br />
model of development, conceived linear process involving largely economic factors, is often incompatible<br />
with the complex social, cultural and political dimensions of societies pursuing different goals, reflecting<br />
their own values. The ideology of development has all too often tended to damage the social fabric and<br />
foundations- often rooted in traditions of communal solidarity- of the communities that have received<br />
“development aid”<br />
Just as no development strategy can be said to be culturally neutral, a culturally sensitive approach<br />
to development is the key to addressing the interlinked social, economic and environmental problems<br />
confronting the planet as a whole. Cultural diversity - which emphasizes the dynamic interactions between<br />
cultures and sensitivity to cultural contexts - thus becomes a key lever for ensuring sustainable, holistic<br />
development strategies. While the international community, in its attempts to operationalize the concept of<br />
sustainable development over the last two decades, has begun to acknowledge the role of culture in the<br />
development process, the cultural factor has yet to be fully 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 went<br />
further by recognizing cultural diversity as a significant cross-cutting factor in sustainable development.<br />
Cultural diversity must be seen as a cross-cutting (rather than as a separate, fourth pillar of sustainability),<br />
with an important role to play in all development projects, from poverty eradication and the safeguarding<br />
of biodiversity to resource management and climate change.<br />
Câu 3: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?<br />
A. Cultural diversity serves as a broad base dimension for sustainable development<br />
B. Cultural diversity sometimes gives strong foundation for sustainable development<br />
C. Cultural diversity should serve as the key dimension of sustainable development<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 devastation<br />
when they hit. However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen 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 a<br />
few enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid.<br />
As a result, the plates are in constant - yet slow - motion. The plates may move away from or towards other<br />
plates. In some cases, they collide violently with the plates adjoining them. The movement of the plates<br />
causes tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up. When it is released, an earthquake<br />
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 other<br />
structures to collapse. They may additionally injure and skill thousands of people and might even cause the<br />
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 the<br />
ocean. When this occurs, a tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all<br />
directions from the place where the earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can<br />
travel thousands of kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This<br />
causes the tsunamis to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami - one more<br />
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 />

B. It is the smallest of the Earth's three layers.<br />
C. The mantle beneath it keeps it from moving too much.<br />
D. It is thicker on land than it is under the water.<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 students<br />
on their (46)______ years looking for overseas adventure, stressed-out workers hoping to get away for a<br />
weekend, or retirees (47)______ to relax in an exotic location- clearly none of them thought they could find<br />
the same experience at home. The question is whether foreign travel brings more advantages or<br />
disadvantages.<br />
An obvious positive point is that going abroad sometimes helps people to expand their knowledge of the<br />
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 thousands<br />
of visitors to view the disappearing icebergs and wildlife. Vegetation, nesting penguins and resting walrus<br />
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 />

B. destination<br />
C. departure<br />
D. situation<br />
