PHẦN 4. ĐỌC HIỂU (2,0 điểm)

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 31 to 35.

Traditional craft villages in Viet Nam have played a vital role in preserving the country’s cultural identity for centuries. Villages like Van Phuc silk village in Ha Noi, Bat Trang ceramic village, and Dong Ho folk painting village in Bac Ninh are famous examples. In these places, skills and trade secrets are passed down from generation to generation, ensuring that ancient crafts do not disappear over time.

However, many craft villages are facing severe challenges today. The rise of industrial products has made handmade goods less competitive in price. In addition, young people in rural areas tend to move to major cities in search of modern office jobs with higher salaries rather than continuing their families' traditional occupations. Furthermore, environmental pollution caused by untreated waste from dyeing and ceramic production has become a serious issue.

To save traditional craft villages, the government and local communities have introduced several solutions. Many villages are combining craft production with eco-tourism, attracting both domestic and foreign tourists. This approach not only provides artisans with additional income but also raises public awareness about cultural preservation.

Câu 31. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The history of Van Phuc silk village in Ha Noi.

B. The importance, challenges, and solutions for traditional craft villages in Viet Nam.

C. Why young people prefer moving to big cities.

D. The environmental issues caused by modern industrial factories.

Câu 32. According to paragraph 1, how are trade secrets preserved?

A. They are recorded in historical books.

B. They are taught in vocational colleges.

C. They are passed down from generation to generation.

D. They are sold to international companies.

Câu 33. The word "severe" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. serious

B. simple

C. minor

D. interesting

Câu 34. Why do many young people leave craft villages?

A. Because they do not like making handicrafts.

B. Because they want to find higher-paying jobs in big cities.

C. Because the craft villages have closed down.

D. Because the government requires them to move.

Câu 35. What solution is mentioned in the last paragraph to support craft villages?

A. Replacing handmade items with plastic goods.

B. Banning tourists from entering the villages.

C. Combining craft production with eco-tourism.

D. Moving craft villages to industrial parks.

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 36 to 40.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technology are rapidly reshaping the field of education across the globe. Today, students can access massive libraries of information and personalized learning platforms with just a laptop or smartphone connected to the Internet.

One of the greatest benefits of technology in education is customized learning. In a traditional classroom, a teacher often has to teach at an average speed, which may be too fast for slower students and too boring for advanced ones. Smart learning software can analyze each learner’s strengths and weaknesses, offering exercises tailored to their specific level. Moreover, virtual reality (VR) allows students to explore outer space, visit historical ruins, or conduct chemistry experiments without any real-world danger.

Nevertheless, the heavy reliance on technology also brings noticeable disadvantages. Spending too much screen time can lead to eye problems, sleep disturbance, and physical inactivity. More importantly, machines cannot replace the emotional connection, empathy, and moral guidance provided by human teachers. Therefore, the ideal future of education lies in blending technological tools with human teaching.

Câu 36. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. The Complete Replacement of Human Teachers by AI

B. How to Build a Virtual Reality Laboratory

C. Technology in Modern Education: Benefits and Challenges

D. The Danger of Electronic Screens for Teenagers

Câu 37. According to paragraph 2, what can smart learning software do?

A. Replace all exams and tests in schools.

B. Offer exercises tailored to each learner's individual level.

C. Force all students to study at the exact same speed.

D. Teach students without using the Internet.

Câu 38. The word "their" in paragraph 2 refers to ______.

A. strengths

B. weaknesses

C. each learner's

D. classrooms

Câu 39. Which problem caused by excessive screen time is NOT mentioned in paragraph 3?

A. Eye problems

B. Sleep disturbance

C. Physical inactivity

D. Hearing loss

Câu 40. What is the author's conclusion about the future of education?

A. Technology should be completely banned from classrooms.

B. Human teachers will soon become unnecessary.

C. Technology should be effectively combined with human instruction.

D. Virtual reality will replace all textbooks.
