PART V. READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 45 to 50.
Harvest time is undoubtedly the busiest yet most exciting period of the year in Vietnamese farming villages. It usually occurs twice a year, during early summer and late autumn. When the golden paddy fields stretch across the horizon, farmers, young and old, prepare their equipment and head out to the fields before sunrise.
Years ago, harvesting was done entirely by manual labor. Farmers used hand sickles to cut the rice stalks, bound them into neat bundles, and transported them back home on wooden carts pulled by oxen or water buffaloes. Families then gathered to thresh the grain by hand, which required tremendous physical strength and took several weeks to complete. Today, modern agriculture has transformed this laborious routine. Combine harvesters move smoothly through the fields, cutting, threshing, and cleaning the grains simultaneously. This mechanized process saves considerable time and allows farmers to finish their harvest in just a few days.
Despite the introduction of modern machines, the warm communal spirit of the harvest season remains unchanged. Neighbors actively assist each other in loading heavy sacks onto trucks and drying the rice in communal courtyards. In the evening, families gather in front of their houses, sharing simple meals made from freshly harvested rice and chatting cheerfully. For children, the post-harvest fields become open playgrounds where they fly colorful kites, play traditional games, and herd livestock in the refreshing breeze.
Câu 45. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The history of traditional tools in Vietnamese agriculture.
B. Life and activities in Vietnamese farming villages during harvest time.
C. How modern machinery has completely replaced human labor.
D. The entertainment activities of rural children throughout the year.

A. Only once a year during winter.
B. In the middle of spring and early winter.
C. Twice a year, in early summer and late autumn.
D. Every three months whenever crops are ripe.
Câu 47. The word "laborious" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. relaxing
B. exhausting
C. effortless
D. interesting
Câu 48. According to paragraph 2, what is an advantage of using combine harvesters?
A. They do not require any fuel or maintenance.
B. They can be pulled easily by water buffaloes.
C. They perform multiple tasks simultaneously and save much time.
