Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in
urban and rural areas. Specifically, they have shined brightly in even many fields
commonly regarded as the man's areas such as business, scientific research and social
management. In some areas, women even show more overwhelming power than men.
The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness, dynamism, success
has become popular in Vietnam's society. The fact reveals that the gender gap has
been remarkably narrowed and women enjoy many more opportunities to pursue their
social careers and obtain success, contributing to national socio-economic
development. According to Ms Le Thi Quy, Director of the Gender and Development
Research Centre under the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi
National University, gender equity in Vietnam has reached a high level over the past
decade. The rate of Vietnamese women becoming National Assembly members from
the 9th term to the 11th term increased 8.7%, bringing the proportion of Vietnamese
women in authority to 27.3%, the highest rate in Southeast Asia. There is no big gap in
the level of literacy and schooling between men and women. Women account for about
37% of university and college graduates, 19.9% of doctoral degree holders and 6.7% of
professors and associate professors.
The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before with
more complete legal documents including laws, conventions and national action plans,
among which the laws on "gender equity" mark a turning-point in the empowerment of
women.
Mass media also highlights the continued success of women, in every field and
honors their great importance in modern society, helping to do away with outdated

perceptions about traditional women's duties. Many projects on reproductive health
care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted by various
mass organizations, state agencies and non-governmental organizations have created
favorable conditions for women to become involved.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a
friend also. They find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions,
thoughts and fears. In marriage we are looking for a partner who will be able to
understand our values, our likes and dislikes.
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are
familiar with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general. They basically
have the same roots. In the case of a western man and foreign woman family,


everything is more complicated and requires much more patience and understanding
from both spouses. On one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a
great deal about the other's country, culture, traditions and life styles which can be very
interesting. On the other hand it can be very disappointing if there is the inability to
understand your partner's excitements and frustrations. For example, you are watching
the television and suddenly you see a famous actor or singer, or other type of an artist
whose name you have grown up with. Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and
the music of this artist was often played in your house when you were a child.

Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to understand your feelings because
she has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty because she has
never even heard the song before. You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your
wife has the same situation with you. You do not know her country's songs, her
country's famous actors, her books. She has her own memories and in actuality, for
her, everything is much more difficult than it is for you. At least, you live in your own
country where everybody can understand you. She lives in completely strange
surroundings, where she has nobody to share her feelings with, except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles. Talk
with her, ask her questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books
are of interest to her. The Internet will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell
her about your country's culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for
her that left you with great impression. Let her understand you better through the things
that you like. Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences.
36. A spouse should...................................
A. let the partner do everything alone
B. be not only a lover but also a friend

in their marriage than those who have the same roots.
C. Spouses who have the same roots do not share anything together.
D. Spouses who are from different cultures can never share anything together,
38. If there is the inability to understand a spouse's excitements and frustrations in the

importance of plants to life on Earth is immeasurable. The landscape and wildlife we
enjoy, the food we eat, even the very air we breathe is connected to plant life.
Plants support wildlife. The U.S, Fore Service has stated that every plant species
that goes extinct, up to 30 other species of plants, insects and other animals may also
decline. Plants provide the food arid habitat for wildlife.
Plants support a healthy environment. They provide clean air, help hold soil in
place, clean water, moderate wind and water impacts, and shade the earth.
Plants support people. Plants give many gifts to man. They provide food, fiber,
and fuels, Many plants are known to contain chemicals that can be used to treat human

illnesses. Others have the ability to fight agricultural pests and improve existing crops.
This is a real crisis, Habitat destruction, over collection, and other environmental
damage are eroding our natural plant communities. Some species have declined to
such small numbers that a bad storm or a plant collector could wipe them out in
minutes. Without intervention they will be lost forever.

VI. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D.
In many ways, the increasingly rapid pace of climate change is a direct result of
the growth of the human population. In the last 100 years, the world population has
more than tripled. Obviously, this has meant that the world has needed to produce
three times as much food, energy, and other natural resources.
In addition, the average person uses more energy and natural resources than the
average person one hundred years ago, meaning that the rates of consumption are
actually much higher than just the increase in population would imply.

All of these activities: food production, energy usage, and the use of natural resources,
contribute to climate change in some way. The greater amounts of oil and other fuels
burned to create energy release chemicals which add to global warming. In order to
produce more food, farmers cut down trees to gain more land for their fields. In
addition, we cut down trees to build the houses needed for a larger population. Those
trees are an essential part of controlling global warming.
In addition to a growing population, the world also has a population that desires a
higher standard of living than in the past, and a higher standard of living requires the
use of even more natural resources. For example, China is the world’s most populous


nation, with 1.3 billion people. Currently, the standard of living for most of those people
is far below that of people in first world nations. Therefore, the average Chinese citizen
uses far fewer natural resources and less energy than the average citizen of the US or
Japan. If every Chinese person attains a first world lifestyle, the amount of energy and
natural resources needed in the world will double, even if the standard of living in every
other nation on Earth remains the same as it is today.
1. The word “pace” in the passage is closest in meaning to _____.
A. growth
B. speed
C. problem
D. pollution
2. The word “consumption” in the passage is closest in meaning to _____.
A. development B. usage
C. population
D. increase
3. According to the passage, how does food production contribute to global warming?
A. Food production requires that the forests be cleared to create farmland.
B. Food production uses many chemicals which add to global warming.
C. Producing more food leads to growth in the world population.

D. Food production decreases the ability of the air to release heat.
4. According to the passage, how does the standard of living affect global warming?
A. Higher standards of living are better for the environment.
B. First world nations create less population than developing nations.
C. The use of natural resources is directly related to the standard of living.
D. High standards of living lead to increases in world population.
5. Why does the author discuss China, Japan and the United States?
A. To compare the standards of their citizens.
B. To explain why China will not be able to become a first world nation.
C. To explain why the world’s use of energy will need to double soon.
D. To better illustrate the effects of an increase in standards of living.
