Read the following passage about music and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Music has been an indispensable part of human civilization for thousands of years. Across all cultures and eras, people have utilized melodies, beats, and vocal sounds to express their deepest emotions, narrate historic legends, and celebrate momentous occasions. In modern society, technological advancements have transformed the ways we create and consume music, making it more accessible to millions of people worldwide than ever before.
Listening to music provides remarkable benefits for both physical health and psychological well-being. Scientific studies have shown that pleasant rhythms stimulate the release of dopamine, a chemical in the brain that induces feelings of pleasure and happiness. For this reason, individuals who listen to soothing instrumental music before going to bed often fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper, more restful sleep. In clinical settings, therapists frequently use music to lower blood pressure, alleviate chronic pain, and reduce anxiety in patients recovering from surgery.
In addition to health benefits, music serves as a powerful instrument for education and cognitive development. Children who receive formal musical training from an early age often display superior memory skills, enhanced language acquisition, and higher levels of creativity compared to their peers. Learning to play a musical instrument requires intense concentration, fine motor coordination, and patience. These mental exercises strengthen neural pathways in the brain, which in turn enhances mathematical aptitude and problem-solving abilities.
Finally, music transcends linguistic and geographical boundaries, bringing diverse groups of people together. Global concerts, charitable music festivals, and international songwriting contests demonstrate how melodies can unite individuals of different backgrounds under shared values of compassion, peace, and solidarity. No matter what mother tongue an audience speaks, the emotional resonance carried by a melody speaks directly to the human heart.

Read the following passage about the environment 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 40.
Deforestation represents one of the most critical environmental challenges of the twenty-first century. Every year, vast tracts of lush tropical rainforests around the globe are cleared to accommodate commercial agriculture, cattle grazing, logging, and infrastructure development. [1] Although these activities generate short-term financial gains for industrial corporations, their long-term consequences for planetary health are catastrophic. [2] Tropical forests are home to more than half of the world's terrestrial species, and their destruction drives countless animals and plants to the brink of extinction. [3] When ancient canopies disappear, fragile ecosystems collapse completely. [4]
Forests are often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth" because they play a pivotal role in regulating global climate patterns. During photosynthesis, trees absorb massive volumes of carbon dioxide—a major greenhouse gas responsible for trapping atmospheric heat—and release oxygen back into the atmosphere. When forests are cut down or burned, this stored carbon is abruptly returned to the air, intensifying the greenhouse effect and accelerating global warming. Scientists estimate that deforestation accounts for nearly ten percent of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
Furthermore, clearing forests leads to severe soil degradation and alters local hydrology. Tree roots bind soil particles together, while dense leaf canopies protect topsoil from being washed away by heavy rainfall. Without this natural vegetative cover, torrential rains strip away nutrient-rich topsoil, causing land barrenness and triggering destructive landslides in mountainous regions. In agricultural zones, eroded sediment silts up rivers and dams, which disrupts freshwater supply and destroys aquatic biodiversity.
Addressing deforestation demands concerted and comprehensive solutions at both local and international levels. Governments must enforce strict anti-logging legislation, expand protected natural reserves, and support sustainable agricultural practices. Consumer awareness is equally crucial: individuals can reduce their ecological footprint by choosing certified sustainable timber and paper products, cutting down on food waste, and advocating for reforestation campaigns. Restoring our planet's forests is not merely an option, but an urgent imperative to ensure the survival of future generations.
Câu 31. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
"Without protective forest habitats, wild creatures are deprived of shelter and vital food sources."
A. [1]
B. [2]
C. [3]
D. [4]
Câu 32. The word pivotal in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. minor
B. crucial
C. confusing
D. artificial
Câu 33. The word barrenness in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ______.
A. fertility
B. dryness
C. emptiness
D. poverty
Câu 34. The word their in paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. industrial corporations
B. financial gains
C. commercial activities
D. tropical rainforests
Câu 35. According to paragraph 2, what happens when trees are burned or chopped down?
A. Large volumes of oxygen are instantly trapped in the atmosphere.
B. Stored carbon dioxide is released into the air, aggravating global warming.
C. Atmospheric temperatures decrease steadily due to clear skies.
D. Photosynthesis speeds up in adjacent grasslands.
Câu 36. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A. The financial benefits of agricultural expansion in tropical regions
B. The causes and destructive consequences of deforestation and the urgent need for action
C. The vital role of freshwater supply and dams in mountainous areas
D. The commercial process of manufacturing certified timber and paper products
Câu 37. Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 3?
A. Removing trees causes soil erosion, leads to land infertility, and damages waterways.
B. Mountainous regions face landslides because local communities cultivate too many crops.
C. Freshwater dams are mainly contaminated by industrial waste rather than tree clearing.
D. Tree roots prevent rainfall from reaching deep soil layers during the rainy season.
Câu 38. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Deforestation contributes approximately ten percent of all human-induced greenhouse gas emissions.
B. Tropical rainforests contain less than ten percent of the planet's terrestrial plant and animal species.
C. Topsoil remains intact and fertile even after protective tree canopies have been destroyed.
D. Only international governments, rather than individual consumers, can combat deforestation.
Câu 39. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4: "Restoring our planet's forests is not merely an option, but an urgent imperative to ensure the survival of future generations."?
A. Bringing back Earth's forests is an unnecessary choice that future generations can ignore.
B. It is an absolute necessity to restore global forests to guarantee the survival of coming generations.
C. Future generations will choose whether to plant trees based on their own survival needs.
D. Forest restoration is just one of many casual options for maintaining planetary health.
Câu 40. What can be inferred from the passage about tackling deforestation?
A. Financial profits from logging far outweigh the environmental damages it creates.
B. Sustainable solutions require a collective synergy between legal enforcement and personal responsible choices.
C. Rainforests will naturally regenerate within a few years without any human intervention.
