Đáp án: ARead the following passage about ocean plastic pollution and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 12 to 14.
Ocean plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental crises of our time. (I) Millions of tons of plastic waste enter the world’s oceans every year, threatening marine ecosystems and coastal communities. (II) Much of this debris originates from land-based activities, such as improper waste management and littering, which are carried into waterways by wind and rain, (III) Despite growing awareness through global media campaigns, many people continue to rely heavily on single-use plastics without considering their long-term consequences. (IV)
The ecological impacts of marine plastic are severe and far-reaching. Sea turtles, birds, and marine mammals frequently mistake floating plastic bags for jellyfish or food, leading to starvation or internal blockages. Furthermore, larger plastic items can degrade over time into microscopic particles known as microplastics. These tiny fragments absorb toxic chemicals from the surrounding seawater and are ingested by small filter-feeding organisms, eventually bioaccumulating up the marine food chain and potentially reaching human consumers.
In addition to ecological damage, plastic pollution also carries significant socioeconomic costs. Coastal regions that rely on fishing and tourism suffer immensely when beaches are littered with plastic debris. Piles of waste deter tourists from visiting resort areas, causing severe revenue losses for local businesses. Moreover, cleaning up vast stretches of coastline requires substantial financial resources from local governments, diverting funds from other essential public services. p- anh sa ht
Addressing the plastic crisis requires a multi-faceted approach. Governments must enforce stricter regulations on plastic manufacturing and improve municipal recycling infrastructure. Corporations need to redesign product packaging and invest in biodegradable alternatives. Meanwhile, individuals can make a difference by reducing their personal plastic consumption and participating in local beach cleanup events. Through collaborative efforts, society can mitigate the escalating threat of plastic pollution in our oceans.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 33 to 40.
Although Spain is widely credited with popularizing the term “siesta,” the idea of taking siestas seems to have roots in Islamic Law. Siesta is also specifically mentioned in the Koran.
But it’s worth mentioning that there is also a Spanish connection to siestas. The word siesta is a Spanish word. It comes from the Latin word “hora sexto,” which means “the sixth hour.”
Many people believe “the sixth hour” is a reference to noontime since noon is situated about six hours after dawn. That’s why siesta is now defined as “a midday or afternoon nap or rest.”
There are several different theories about why siestas became so popular in Spain over the years. They range from practical theories to theories that are relative:y dark in nature.
One of the dark theories suggests that people in Spain started taking siestas back in the 1930s at the height of the Spanish Civil War. According to the theory, siestas were a necessity because of the economic conditions at the time.
During the Spanish Civil War, most of those living in Spain were forced to deal with poverty. To make ends meet, they had to work two or three jobs at a time to generate enough income to support their families.
Siestas provided people with a break from their work. Many of them would work all morning long, take siestas, and then get back to work in the afternoon before working a night shift as well.
