correct answer to each of the questions.<br />
Despite widespread assumptions to the contrary, there is no prescribed pathway for the development<br />
of a society, no single model on which development strategies should be based. The Western model of<br />
development, conceived linear process involving largely economic factors, is often incompatible with the<br />
complex social, cultural and political dimensions of societies pursuing different goals, reflecting their own<br />
values. The ideology of development has all too often tended to damage the social fabric and foundationsoften rooted in traditions of communal solidarity- of the communities that have received “development aid”<br />
Just as no development strategy can be said to be culturally neutral, a culturally sensitive approach to<br />
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 of<br />
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 />
Thunderstorms, with their jagged bursts of lightning and roaring thunder, are actually one of nature’s<br />
primary mechanisms for transferring heat from the surface of the earth into the atmosphere. A thunderstorm<br />
starts when low-lying pockets of warm air from the surface of the earth begin to rise. The pockets of warm<br />
air float upward through the air above that is both cooler and heavier. The rising pockets cool as their<br />
pressure decreases, and their latent heat is released above the condensation line through the formation of<br />
cumulus clouds.<br />
What will happen with these clouds depends on the temperature of the atmosphere. In winter, the air<br />
temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes is not extremely great, and the temperature of<br />
the rising air mass drops more slowly. During these colder months, the atmosphere, therefore, tends to<br />
remain rather stable. In summer, however, when there is a high accumulation of heat near the earth’s<br />
surface, in direct contrast to the considerably colder air higher up, the temperature differential between<br />
higher and lower altitudes is much more pronounced. As warm air rises in this type of environment, the<br />
temperature drops much more rapidly than it does in winter; when the temperature drops more than 4<br />
degrees Fahrenheit per thousand feet of altitude, cumulus clouds aggregate into a single massive<br />
cumulonimbus cloud, or thunderhead.<br />
In isolation, a single thunderstorm is an impressive but fairly benign way for Mother Earth to defuse<br />
trapped heat from her surface; thunderstorms, however, can appear in concert, and the resulting show,<br />
while extremely impressive, can also prove extraordinarily destructive. When there is a large-scale collision<br />
between cold air and warm air masses during the summer months, a squall line, or series of thunderheads,<br />
may develop. It is common for a squall line to begin when an advancing cold front meets up with and forces<br />
itself under a layer of warm and moist air, creating a line of thunderstorms that races forward at speeds of<br />
approximately forty miles per hour. A squall line, which can be hundreds of miles long and can contain fifty<br />
distinct thunderheads, is a magnificent force of nature with incredible potential for destruction. Within the<br />
squall line, often near its southern end, can be found supercells, long-lived rotating storms of exceptional<br />
strength that serve as the source of tornadoes.<br />
