To address these urban challenges, governments have<br /> come up with the idea of smart cities in which new technologies are applied to promote sustainable development<br /> and create a high quality of life for citizens. Let's have a look at two of the leading global smart cities and their<br /> innovative solutions:<br /> Copenhagen<br /> Regarded as the greenest capital city in the world, Copenhagen is a front runner in green technology<br /> innovations. The city is aiming to be the first carbon-neutral capital by 2025, and it has reduced carbon emissions<br /> by 50 percent since 1995. Besides, lots of money has been invested in upgrading bike lanes, so 45% of its<br /> residents go to work or school by bike every day. The invention of an intelligent traffic management system also<br /> helps optimize traffic flow and remedy road congestion. In terms of waste treatment, Copenhagen sends less than<br /> 2% of its waste to landfills. Half of the waste is recycled and most of the waste is used to generate heat for the<br /> city's district heating network. Its highly efficient district heating system connects 98% of all households, while<br /> in the summer months, the district cooling system relies on cold water from the sea to save 70% of energy<br /> compared to traditional air-conditioning. This is part of its plan to create renewable energy resources.<br /> Singapore<br /> While several nations around the world are experimenting with 'smart city' technologies to handle issues<br /> such as street lighting, traffic light management and waste collection, the city-state of Singapore has a much more<br /> ambitious vision for its whole nation. Its centrepiece is a Smart Nation Platform that brings together data from a<br /> nationwide sensor network. Collected data will be transferred into an open data platform and a "Virtual<br /> Singapore" model will allow city planners to prevent crime, determine traffic density and send out wide-scale<br /> warnings during an emergency. Moreover, 98% of government services are accessible online, and an in-house<br /> Digital Government Services team has launched various public mobile apps for healthcare and transport. With<br /> these efforts, Singapore is on the move to reach its vision to be the world's first Smart Nation.<br /> Question 28: What is the passage about?<br /> A. a front runner in green technology innovations<br /> B. rapid urbanization and high population density<br /> C. leading global smart cities<br /> D. new ways of cooling system<br /> Question 29: The phrase “these urban challenges” in paragraph 1 refers to:<br /> Page 2/4- Mã đề 416<br /> <br /> A. rapid urbanization of rural areas<br /> B. governments’ demand to innovate the cities<br /> C. development of technology 4.0<br /> D. strain on transportation, infrastructure, energy and other things<br /> Question 30: The word “handle” in paragraph 3 mostly means _____<br /> A. take<br /> B. solve<br /> C. prevent<br /> D. consider<br /> Question 31: All of the following green technology innovations have been applied in Copenhagen EXCEPT____<br /> A. upgrading bicycle lanes<br /> B. collecting data from a national network of sensors<br /> C. generating heat from waste<br /> D. making use of cold water from the sea for district cooling system<br /> Question 32: Which of the following information is NOT GIVEN in the passage?<br /> A. Each day nearly a half of Copenhagen citizens get to work or school by bike.<br /> B. In Singapore, there are numerous public mobile apps for healthcare and transport.<br /> C. The City of Copenhagen established the first Green Wave for cyclists back in 2007.<br /> D. The main aim of 'Virtual Singapore' is to help city planners prevent crime, anticipate traffic density<br /> and release wide-scale warnings during an emergency.<br /> Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that best combines each pair of sentences<br /> in the following questions.<br /> Question 33: You can do any job. The only condition is that you have the right qualifications for it.<br /> A. Unless you have the right qualifications for it, you can do any job.<br /> B. You can do any job providing you have the right qualifications for it.<br /> C. If you can do any job, you’ll have the right qualifications for it.<br /> D. Because of having the right qualifications for any job, you can do it.<br /> Question 34: The demand for the tickets of the final match between Vietnam and Malaysia was very great.<br /> People queued days and nights.<br /> A. So great the demand for the tickets of the final match between Vietnam and Malaysia was that people<br /> queued days and nights.<br /> B. Such was the demand for the tickets of the final match between Vietnam and Malaysia that people<br /> queued days and nights.<br /> C. So great was the demand for the tickets of the final match between Vietnam and Malaysia that people<br /> queued days and nights.<br /> D. Such great was demand for the tickets of the final match between Vietnam and Malaysia that people<br /> queued days and nights.<br /> Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to<br /> each of the questions.<br /> Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a hindrance, and<br /> may even cause harm. These studies have disclosed that the judgments of interviewers differ markedly and bear<br /> little or no relationship to the adequacy of job applicants. Of the many reasons why this should be the case, three<br /> in particular stand out. The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as hallo effect. If a person has<br /> one noticeable good trait, their other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are. Thus, an<br /> individual who dresses smartly and show self-confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing the job well<br /> regardless of his or her real ability.<br /> Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect. This error occurs when<br /> interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information. Hence, in an interview situation,<br /> the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to confirm the impression given by the candidate in the first<br /> few moments. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated to the aptitude of the<br /> applicant.<br /> The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers. A suitable<br /> candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who appears exceptionally<br /> intelligent. Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be judged as<br /> more suitable than he or she really is.<br /> Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other selection<br /> procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability. Of the various tests devised,<br /> the predictor which appears to do this most successfully is cognitive ability as measured by a variety of verbal<br /> and spatial tests.<br /> Question 35: This passage mainly discusses the _______.<br /> A. effects of interviewing on job applicants B. judgments of interviewers concerning job applicants<br /> C. inadequacy of interviewing job applicants D. technique that interviewers use for judging job applicants<br /> Question 36: The word “hindrance” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.<br /> <br /> Page 3/4- Mã đề 416<br /> <br /> A. encouragement<br /> B. assistance<br /> C. procedure<br /> D. interference<br /> Question 37: The word "they" in paragraph 1 refers to _______.<br /> A. judgments<br /> B. applicants<br /> C. interviewers<br /> D. characteristics<br /> Question 38: According to the passage, the halo effect _______.<br /> A. stands out as the worst judgmental error<br /> B. takes effect only when a candidate is well dressed<br /> C. exemplifies how one good characteristic colors perceptions<br /> D. helps the interviewer to judge real ability<br /> Question 39: The word "confirm" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.<br /> A. conclude<br /> B. verify<br /> C. recollect<br /> D. misrepresent<br /> Question 40: According to the passage, the first impression _____.<br /> A. can easily be altered<br /> B. is the one that stays with the interviewer<br /> C. is unrelated to the interviewer’s prejudices D. has been repeatedly demonstrated to the applicant<br /> Question 41: The author mentions all of the following reasons why interviewing is not an accurate way to predict<br /> candidate suitability EXCEPT the ______.<br /> A. halo effect<br /> B. primacy effect<br /> C. contrast effect<br /> D. cognitive effect<br /> Question 42: We can infer that the paragraph following the passage most likely discusses which of the following?<br /> A.

Other selection procedures included in interviewing<br /> Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or<br /> phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.<br /> Second-hand but better than new<br /> Many people (43) ____ are building their own homes or renovating existing buildings have discovered<br /> that it makes more sense to buy second-hand goods than to buy new doors, fireplaces or radiators.
