Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Global warming can change many characteristics of the oceans negatively. Independent studies show that the quantity of heat that the oceans may hold has grown rapidly since the 1950s. The heat found there not only increases temperatures on the sea surface but also has negative impacts on the sea levels and water flows.
The 20th century saw increases in ocean surface temperatures all around the world. Despite some variations, the temperatures have risen faster during the past three decades than in any previous period. Moreover, the seawater level also has to suffer from global warming. Although the increases in water levels have been recorded at different rates among regions, the average level of all the oceans in the world has increased by 1.5 cm per decade since 1880. Over the past few years, the rate has grown to nearly three centimetres each decade.
Rising sea levels have turned dry areas and wetlands into open water, and flooding has occurred more frequently along the shoreline. In addition, the ocean has been found to contain more acid over the past decades as more carbon dioxide has been absorbed into the ocean water.
Higher acidity levels will cause an imbalance in minerals. Marine species will suffer from many difficulties as they cannot develop strong protective skeletons and shells. As a result, the biodiversity and productivity of the ocean ecosystem will definitely change in unhealthy ways. In the near future, if humans fail to cool down the ocean, there will be more devastating consequences beyond our imagination.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
All of our Viet Nam volunteer projects are focused on working for and with children. Projects range from working with sick kids in hospitals and looking after children in Buddhist temples, to providing much-needed non-formal education to Ha Noi’s disadvantaged youth. [I]
The Agent Orange project opened more than 15 years ago to care for war veterans and children suffering from the effects of Agent Orange. Since then, it has grown into a complex of 11 houses that care for a total of 120 children and 40 veterans. [II] The village is supported by a highly committed and dedicated base of supporters who volunteer their time, energy, and resources to its projects.
From 1962 to 1971, during the Resistance War against America, American forces sprayed well over 40 million litres of the chemical defoliant, Agent Orange, over Southern Vietnam. However, Agent Orange had not been adequately tested. The chemicals released during the 1960s inflicted a legacy of suffering on the Vietnamese. Precise figures are difficult to agree on, but there is no question that millions of people were exposed to the chemical. In the wake of this exposure, people suffered liver damage, cancer, heart diseases, reproductive disorders, and severe birth defects.
The Agent Orange project is always in need of volunteers. Many of the people who back the organization spend time raising funds in North America and Europe. [III] Regardless of how volunteers lend a hand to the community, their efforts directly help those who have been affected by Agent Orange to live normal, happy, and fulfilled lives. As with any undertaking of this size, there’s always a great deal to be done, and that leaves plenty of opportunity for volunteers to dig in. [IV]
