READING

I. Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.

There are many reasons for reducing the forest areas, and this causes many complicated problems for any nation without any exception. Due to the population explosion, many governments need more land for residents to live and develop the economy. They also clear forests to build dams for generating electricity or to develop resorts and recreational complexes. Besides, a huge number of trees are logged illegally to trade wood. All of these lead to serious issues as forests always have an important role in the ecosystem balance. It is undoubted that when a forest area is destroyed, the following results affect the other neighbor regions. The first negative effect of the loss of forest lands is flooding. Forests help to prevent erosion and flooding and without them, the downstream areas tend to be inundated frequently in rainy and hurricane seasons. Another problem is global warming. Forests are often considered as the lungs of the earth because they absorb the carbon dioxide and release the oxygen. This helps to refresh the atmosphere and lower the rate of the carbon dioxide in the air. If not, the average temperature will be higher and higher since the emission of the gas into the atmosphere increases every day. Consequently, the price we would pay for the flooding or for the increase of greenhouse gases is not only the damaged and polluted environment but also our deteriorated health and lives. To save ourselves, it is advisable to join hands in protecting and growing more and more forests.

1. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Some reasons of deforestation and its impacts on people’s lives

B. Why floods happen frequently

C. Human’s responsibility for protecting forests

D. The rate of carbon dioxide has been rising

2. What does the word ‘this’ in line 18 refer to?

A. The fact that forests are considered the lungs of the Earth

B. The release of the oxygen

C. The circulation of exchanging carbon dioxide and oxygen of trees

D. The absorption of carbon dioxide from forests

3. According to the reading, which of the following is NOT the reason for cutting down trees?

A. Lack of shelters for local people

B. Developing the local or national production and trade

C. Illegal logging

D. Lack of land for agriculture

4. What is one of the negative impacts of clearing forests?

A. The increase of heat

B. Severe environmental disasters

C. Poor economic development

D. The loss of animals’ habitats

5. According to the reading, what is the solution to deal with this environmental problem?

A. Raising people’s awareness

B. Fining illegal loggers heavily

C. Boosting reforestation

D. Planting more coffee and rubber trees

II. Complete the reading passage. Write ONE suitable word in each blank.

Travel agent (T.A): Hello, it’s Green Leaves travel agency. How can I help you?

T.A: Yes, of course! Would you like domestic tours or international ones?

An: Domestic tours please!

T.A: Great choice! This summer our travel agency is launching a bunch of promotions to customers, particularly for the new ones. If you buy a package of ecotours, you will get a discount voucher of 25% for the next tour. The program will close soon so don’t miss the opportunity.

An: It sounds interesting, but sorry, I don’t know much about what an ecotour is and where these trips are to?

READING

Read the text and circle the best answer A, B, C, or D for each of the following questions.

Doing some forms of voluntary work has never been more popular with British people. Over 20 million people were engaged in voluntary activities in 2013. Volunteering means giving up time to do work of benefit to the community. It can take many forms, from working with children with learning difficulties, or in an animal hospital, or planting trees. When London won its bid to host the 2012 Olympics, up to 70,000 volunteers were needed to help ensure that the games were a success.

Volunteers can be anyone of any age. Students and full-time workers often manage to involve in some voluntary work. But what motivates volunteers? Some do it for a sense of selflessness while others find they have free time available. Many mention the opportunity to get to know people they would not normally meet.

A relatively new phenomenon is the hope of meeting new friends or even a life partner through volunteering. In a recent British survey, 20% of 18-24 year-olds and 8% of over-65s said their love lives had improved since they began volunteering. The same poll found that nearly half of volunteers enjoyed improved health and fitness, a quarter lost weight - especially those working with children or doing conservation projects - and two-thirds felt less stressed. So, it seems volunteering may improve your life, and you may even find the person of your dreams.

A. It has never been popular with the British.

B. The number of volunteers reached its highest level in 2012.

C. Volunteers gain no benefit from the work.

D. Volunteers were needed for the success of the 2012 Olympics.

B. They have spare time.

C. They usually meet people.

D. They want new friends.
