Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 40.
Living a green life has evolved from an individual preference into a worldwide movement. In recent years, growing concerns about climate change and environmental degradation have prompted cities around the globe to rethink their development strategies. Sustainable urban living involves not only reducing plastic waste and recycling materials, but also redefining how urban inhabitants interact with their surroundings.
One prominent aspect of this green transformation is the preservation of cultural identities within urban architecture. Instead of demolishing historical quarters to erect modern glass skyscrapers, many forward-thinking cities are rehabilitating historical buildings using sustainable, low-carbon materials. This dual approach helps conserve irreplaceable architectural heritage while dramatically diminishing the carbon footprint generated by conventional construction. By integrating green spaces into preserved cultural precincts, urban planners have successfully revitalized historical neighborhoods into bustling, eco-friendly community hubs.
Furthermore, community-driven green initiatives play an indispensable role in transforming social mindsets. Local food markets that promote regional specialties reduce the need for long-distance freight transport, thereby cutting greenhouse gas emissions. When residents actively engage in composting organic waste or patronizing local handicraft artisans, they foster a profound sense of communal belonging and shared environmental responsibility. In this way, ecological practices reinforce cultural cohesion, showing that cultural diversity and environmental sustainability are complementary forces driving modern societal progress.
Question 33. The word indispensable in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.
A. vital
B. unnecessary
C. significant
D. practical
Question 34. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A. The total failure of conventional building materials in contemporary cities.
B. The harmony between green living and cultural preservation in urban development.
C. The financial advantages of purchasing local produce at community markets.
D. The technological innovations required to combat worldwide climate change.
Question 35. The word they in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. local food markets
B. regional specialties
C. greenhouse gas emissions
D. residents
Question 36. According to paragraph 2, historical quarters in forward-thinking cities are ______.
A. torn down to construct glass towers
B. rehabilitated using sustainable materials
C. abandoned due to high renovation costs
D. converted entirely into commercial zones
Question 37. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Buying local specialties helps lower greenhouse gas emissions from freight transport.
B. Sustainable living is limited exclusively to recycling plastics and reducing waste.
C. Integrating green spaces helps transform old quarters into lively community hubs.
D. Environmental sustainability can enhance cultural cohesion within communities.
Question 38. The word revitalized in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. destroyed
B. examined
C. refreshed
D. ignored
Question 39. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3: "ecological practices reinforce cultural cohesion, showing that cultural diversity and environmental sustainability are complementary forces driving modern societal progress."?
A. Environmental actions weaken communal relationships because cultural diversity contradicts sustainable practices.
B. Both eco-friendly actions and cultural diversity work together harmoniously to advance modern society.
C. Cultural cohesion can only be maintained if urban communities completely abandon modern green initiatives.
D. Modern societal progress relies solely on economic growth rather than environmental and cultural efforts.
Question 40. In which paragraph does the author mention a specific measure to lower carbon emissions in building development?
A. Paragraph 1
B. Paragraph 2
C. Paragraph 3
D. Paragraph 1 and 3

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 40.
In recent decades, culinary diplomacy has emerged as one of the most effective tools for fostering mutual understanding among diverse nations. Food is rarely just a biological necessity; it acts as a cultural ambassador that conveys historical narratives, geography, and cherished traditions. When people share an authentic meal originating from an unfamiliar culture, they transcend geopolitical divisions and establish personal bonds.
A notable example of culinary exchange can be observed in the global journey of Vietnamese phở. Originating in northern Vietnam during the early twentieth century, this aromatic noodle soup skillfully absorbed culinary nuances from French and Chinese cooking while retaining its distinct Vietnamese identity. Today, phở is celebrated globally not only for its delicate equilibrium of herbs and spices, but also as an embodiment of the Vietnamese people's resilience and adaptability. International diners indulging in a bowl of phở often gain a deeper appreciation of Vietnam’s rich cultural tapestry.
Nevertheless, globalization also presents tangible risks to traditional culinary arts. The rapid expansion of multinational fast-food corporations threatens to homogenize dietary patterns and overshadow regional specialties. In response, numerous communities have inaugurated local food initiatives to protect heritage recipes and endorse sustainable agriculture. By purchasing fresh, locally cultivated ingredients, consumers can preserve regional culinary traditions while simultaneously mitigating the carbon emissions associated with worldwide food transportation. Consequently, preserving culinary authenticity is intrinsically connected to the broader pursuit of global environmental sustainability.
Question 33. The word homogenize in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.
A. standardize
B. diversify
C. assimilate
D. unify
Question 34. What is the primary focus of the passage?
A. The detailed history and precise recipe of Vietnamese phở.
B. The role of cuisine in cultural exchange and its link to sustainability.
C. The financial supremacy of multinational fast-food enterprises.
D. The medical advantages of eating organic, plant-based diets.
Question 35. The word it in paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. food
B. biological necessity
C. cultural ambassador
D. mutual understanding
Question 36. According to paragraph 2, Vietnamese phở is characterized by ______.
A. a complete exclusion of foreign culinary influences
B. an aroma that relies exclusively on French culinary techniques
C. a delicate balance of spices reflecting resilience and adaptability
D. an origin that dates back to the seventeenth century
Question 37. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Food serves as an ambassador expressing historical and cultural heritage.
B. Fast-food expansion poses no threat whatsoever to regional food cultures.
C. Sourcing local ingredients helps decrease transportation-related emissions.
D. Sharing meals can help people overcome international geopolitical barriers.
Question 38. The word mitigating in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. escalating
B. monitoring
C. lessening
D. neglecting
Question 39. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3: "preserving culinary authenticity is intrinsically connected to the broader pursuit of global environmental sustainability."?
A. Protecting traditional food cultures is closely linked with efforts to safeguard the global environment.
B. Culinary authenticity must be abandoned if societies want to achieve sustainable living.
C. Environmental preservation has little or nothing to do with protecting indigenous food practices.
D. Global sustainability can only be achieved by modernizing culinary traditions into fast food.
Question 40. In which paragraph does the author discuss the negative impact of globalization on traditional diets?
A. Paragraph 1
B. Paragraph 2
C. Paragraph 3
D. Paragraph 1 and 2
