Part 2. Questions 26 – 32
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each question.
Cities of the Future
By 2050, more than two thirds of the world's population will live in cities. This rapid growth puts enormous pressure on transport, housing and energy, but it also gives planners a chance to start again.
One of the biggest changes will be in transport. Private cars will be banned from city centres, and residents will travel by electric buses, trams and underground trains. In some cities, a single ticket will cover every form of transport, so people will not need to own a vehicle at all.
Buildings will change too. New towers will be covered with plants, and rooftops will hold gardens that grow food for the people living below. These green roofs will keep buildings cool in summer, which means less electricity for air conditioning.
Perhaps the most surprising change concerns space. A square may be a car park in the morning, a market in the afternoon and a playground in the evening. Sensors will tell the city how each area is being used, and the city will adapt in real time.
None of this will happen by itself. It will require money, careful planning and, above all, the agreement of the people who live there. A city is not made of concrete and glass; it is made of the people who use it every day.
Câu 26. According to paragraph 1, by 2050 ______.
A. more than two thirds of the world's population will live in cities
B. the world's population will fall by two thirds
C. cities will have less pressure on transport
D. planners will have no chance to start again
Câu 27. The word "it" in paragraph 1 refers to ______.
A. housing
B. energy
C. the world's population
D. rapid growth
Câu 28. The word "banned" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. allowed
B. reduced
C. forbidden
D. charged
Câu 29. In which paragraph does the author mention a way of reducing the use of electricity in buildings?
A. Paragraph 4
B. Paragraph 3
C. Paragraph 1
D. Paragraph 2
Câu 30. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. Car parks will disappear from future cities.
B. Public spaces in future cities will serve different purposes at different times of day.
C. Markets will be more important than playgrounds.
D. Sensors will replace the people who plan cities.
Câu 31. Which of the following best paraphrases the sentence "A city is not made of concrete and glass; it is made of the people who use it every day."?
A. A city's character comes from its residents rather than from its buildings.
B. Future cities will be built without concrete or glass.
C. People should use public buildings more often.
D. Buildings are the most important part of a city.

C. LỜI THOẠI BÀI NGHE (AUDIO SCRIPTS)
Recording 1 (Questions 1 – 4)
Host: Welcome back to Health Matters. Dr. Lan, many teenagers say they feel tired all day. Why is that?
Dr. Lan: Well, most teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep a night, but very few of them actually get that much.
Host: So what keeps them awake?
Dr. Lan: Their phones, mostly. They take the phone to bed, and then they stay up late chatting or watching videos.
Host: What should parents do?
Dr. Lan: Instead of taking the phone away, they should sit down with their children and agree on a fixed bedtime. Dinner should also finish at least two hours before bed.
Host: And what about exercise?
Dr. Lan: Twenty minutes of walking after dinner is enough. It helps you fall asleep faster.
Recording 2 (Questions 5 – 8)
In 2050, more than two thirds of the world's population will live in cities, and those cities will look very different from the ones we know today. Most new buildings will have gardens on their roofs, and some of them will produce their own electricity from the sun. Cars will not be allowed in the city centre; instead, people will travel by electric buses, trams and underground trains. But perhaps the biggest change will be in the way we share space. A square may be a car park in the morning, a market in the afternoon and a playground in the evening. Planners believe that this flexibility will make future cities both greener and friendlier.
D. GIẢI THÍCH CHI TIẾT
Câu 1. C. Lời thoại: "most teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep a night" – tám đến mười tiếng mỗi đêm.
Câu 2. B. Lời thoại: "They take the phone to bed, and then they stay up late chatting or watching videos" – nguyên nhân chính là dùng điện thoại trên giường.
Câu 3. D. Lời thoại: "they should sit down with their children and agree on a fixed bedtime" – thống nhất giờ đi ngủ cố định, không tịch thu điện thoại.
Câu 4. B. Lời thoại: "Twenty minutes of walking after dinner is enough. It helps you fall asleep faster."
Câu 5. A (True). "more than two thirds of the world's population will live in cities".
Câu 6. B (False). Bài nói "some of them will produce their own electricity", không phải tất cả các toà nhà.
Câu 7. A (True). "Cars will not be allowed in the city centre".
Câu 8. B (False). "perhaps the biggest change will be in the way we share space", không phải số lượng nhà cao tầng.
Câu 9. C. "most + danh từ đếm được số nhiều" = hầu hết các gia đình. much không đi với danh từ số nhiều; every, each phải đi với danh từ số ít.
Câu 10. A. Sự việc là điều kiện bắt buộc để ban tổ chức chuẩn bị tài liệu → must (phải). mustn't (không được), needn't/don't have to (không cần) trái nghĩa với ngữ cảnh.
Câu 11. C. Cần đại từ quan hệ thay cho người làm chủ ngữ của mệnh đề sau ("has studied") → who. which dùng cho vật, whose chỉ sở hữu, where chỉ nơi chốn.
Câu 12. A. "Last year" là mốc thời gian quá khứ xác định → thì quá khứ đơn: took part in.
Câu 13. B. Hai vế tương phản ("entertaining" >< "teaches useful skills") → Although (mặc dù).
Câu 14. B. Cụm cố định make friends with somebody (kết bạn với ai).
Câu 15. A. Trật tự tính từ: ý kiến/kích cỡ – tuổi – màu sắc → modern (tuổi) đứng trước green (màu): a modern green city.

Câu 17. A. Cấu trúc bị động be designed to do something (được thiết kế để làm gì) → to use.
Câu 18. C. Cần tính từ bổ nghĩa cho danh từ way → sustainable (bền vững). sustainably là trạng từ, sustainability là danh từ, sustain là động từ.
Câu 19. C. Cụm cố định play a key role in (đóng vai trò then chốt trong).
Câu 20. A. Cụm cố định make a difference (tạo ra sự thay đổi tích cực).
Câu 21. C. Danh từ thay thế là "different values" (số nhiều) → these differences. this difference sai số ít, this different và these difference sai từ loại/hình thái.
Câu 22. B. Câu cần chủ ngữ số nhiều chỉ giới trẻ để "They" ở câu sau quy chiếu tới, đồng thời khớp với nội dung "muốn tự chọn bạn bè, nghề nghiệp" → "Young people today want much more freedom than their parents did at their age."
Câu 23. C. Cấu trúc song song với "to stay calm", "to ask questions" → to talk about their differences.
Câu 24. B. Cụm "an atmosphere" cần mệnh đề quan hệ với giới từ đứng trước: an atmosphere in which children dare to share their ideas.
Câu 25. D. Mệnh đề quan hệ không xác định dùng which thay cho cả mệnh đề trước, diễn tả kết quả: ", which makes everyone's life at home much easier."
Câu 26. A. Đoạn 1: "By 2050, more than two thirds of the world's population will live in cities."

Câu 31. A. Câu gốc nhấn mạnh thành phố được tạo nên bởi con người chứ không phải bê tông và kính → A sát nghĩa nhất.
Câu 32. B. Bài không nhắc tới trang trại dưới lòng đất; chỉ có vườn trên mái, xe buýt/tàu điện, vé dùng chung cho mọi phương tiện.
Câu 33. C. Mở đầu bằng lời xin phép (b), mẹ đồng ý kèm điều kiện (a), con chấp nhận (c) → b – a – c.
Câu 34. D. Bác sĩ hỏi về giờ ngủ (c), người mẹ trả lời kèm tình huống dùng điện thoại (d), người mẹ nói thêm nghi ngờ (b), bác sĩ khuyên (a), người mẹ đồng ý (e) → c – d – b – a – e.

Câu 36. A. Câu chủ đề (c), giải pháp 1 (a), giải pháp 2 (d), câu nhận xét (e), câu kết (b) → c – a – d – e – b.
Bài viết mẫu tham khảo (1,0 điểm):
The generation gap in many families is widening, but parents and teenagers can close it with a few simple habits. First, parents should set a good example by putting their own phones away during meals. Children copy what they see, so adults who listen patiently are more likely to be listened to. Second, every family should agree on "screen-free" hours, for example thirty minutes at dinner, when everyone talks about their day without any device. This small rule creates space for real conversation. Third, parents should ask questions instead of giving orders. When a teenager explains why he chose a subject or a friend, parents understand him better and worry less. In conclusion, bridging the generation gap does not require money or big events; it requires time, respect and honest listening every day.
