PART V. READING COMPREHENSION
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.
Urbanisation is taking place at a rapid pace in many developing countries, including Viet Nam. Every year, thousands of people move from rural areas to major cities such as Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City in search of better employment opportunities, higher education, and improved living standards.
However, living in large metropolitan areas also brings numerous challenges. One of the most obvious drawbacks is traffic congestion. During peak hours, main streets and intersections are frequently packed with motorbikes, cars, and buses, leading to prolonged delays and high levels of stress for commuters. Furthermore, the immense volume of vehicles and industrial activities significantly contributes to severe air and noise pollution, which negatively impacts public health.
Another major issue is the lack of affordable housing. Due to the high density of population, house prices and rental costs have skyrocketed, making it extremely difficult for low-income workers and fresh graduates to find suitable accommodation. In addition, many people suffer from a lack of green spaces such as parks and recreational centres where they can relax after intense working hours.
In order to create a more livable urban environment, municipal authorities need to invest more in public transit systems, upgrade infrastructure, and expand public green spaces. At the same time, rural development should be promoted so that people can enjoy decent jobs and social services right in their hometowns without having to migrate to overcrowded cities.
Câu 31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Solutions to improve the economy in rural areas.
B. The benefits and drawbacks of living in modern cities.
C. Why people prefer living in the countryside to living in cities.
D. The history of urbanisation in Viet Nam.
Câu 32. According to paragraph 1, why do people move to major cities?
A. To enjoy clean air and quiet green spaces.
B. To seek better jobs, higher education, and living standards.
C. To experience traffic jams during peak hours.
D. To avoid working in agricultural production.
Câu 33. The word "skyrocketed" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. decreased slightly
B. stayed unchanged
C. increased rapidly
D. fallen sharply
Câu 34. According to paragraph 2, what is a direct consequence of heavy traffic and industrial activities?
A. Severe air and noise pollution.
B. The reduction of living expenses.
C. An increase in green parks and gardens.
D. Better public health conditions.
Câu 35. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a solution to urban problems?
A. Investing more in public transit systems.

C. Forbidding citizens from moving into large cities.
D. Promoting rural development.
