2. Read the following text and choose the best title for it.

(Đọc bài đọc sau và lựa chọn tiêu đề hay nhất.)


1. Green living (Sống xanh)

2. Green issues (Các vấn đề xanh)

3. Green products (Các sản phẩm xanh)

More and more people adopt a green lifestyle. It is a choice we make to change to a greener and more sustainable lifestyle. There are many things you can do to become an eco-friendly person. Here are some of them.

Turning off your appliances when they are not in use

This is one of the easiest ways to save energy and reduce your carbon footprint. It also helps reduce energy bills and prevent any dangerous situations such as a fire or an explosion.

Buying products that are grown using more natural organic methods

This helps reduce the use of harmful chemicals in food. Organic food is better for us because it is safer and healthier. It also tastes better.

Cutting down on plastic use

This really helps the environment because it takes many years for plastic waste to break down into small pieces. Bring a reusable bag when you go shopping, and your own refillable bottle instead of buying bottled water.

Recycling as much as possible

This prevents pollution because it reduces the need to collect new raw materials and protects natural resources such as water and trees. So don't throw away your used household items, but sort and recycle them.

Carbon footprint (Dấu chân cac-bon)

1. Read the text and complete the table.

(Đọc bài đọc và hoàn thành bảng.)


A carbon footprint is the total amount of CO2 produced by human activities. It often also includes the emissions of other greenhouse gasses. Although calculating your carbon footprint can be difficult, you can still estimate it based on how big your family is, how much electricity your appliances use, how much you drive or fly, or how much you recycle.

Globally, the average carbon footprint per person is more than 4 tons per year. Too much CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere can cause serious problems. It can lead to increasing global temperatures and air pollution, and destroy the natural world.

It's not difficult to reduce your carbon footprint. You can do it by making your daily activities eco-friendly. For example, you can take shorter showers. The less hot water you use, the less energy is needed to heat the water. Instead of using your personal car or motorbike, you should use public transport, walk or cycle as much as possible.

These simple activities can help reduce your carbon footprint and your impact on the environment.

COLLECT WATER TO LIVE A GREEN LIFE

Water is essential for life. Therefore, the methods of collecting water are important for meeting its growing need.

The traditional method involves collecting rainwater and storing it for later use. Rainwater is collected from a roof and sent to a container. Collected rainwater is an excellent source of water for people, animals, and plants.

There is also a new method of collecting water. It can turn the tiny drops of water in the air into drinking water. Air-to-water technology creates from air and releases it all the time. It uses the sun’s energy and works well even in dry conditions.

ACROSS

3. the mixture of gases surrounding the earth that we breathe

4. a source of power that can be used to provide light and heat, or drive machines

5. a way of living that is good for the environment

DOWN

Urban Farming

Mario Wezel is a German photographer who takes photos for National Geographic. Mario is interested in urban farming, so many of his photos show farmers and gardeners. However, urban farming is different from traditional farming. It's when people farm and garden in the middle of the city.

Mario traveled to urban farms all over the US. In Boston, one man has bees on the roof of the Lenox Hotel. The hotel uses honey from the bees in its restaurant. In San Francisco, there's a small farm next to the Giants' baseball stadium. When people watch the game, they can also buy sandwiches from the farm with fresh vegetables! And in Washington, D.C., volunteers can help in a garden at the White House.

For Mario, the most surprising urban farm is at San Quentin State Prison, in California. The prison has a garden and, once a week, prisoners can take a gardening class. They learn how to grow plants and flowers. Working in the garden is also therapeutic.

Mario's photos are all of the US, but you can find urban farms in a lot of different countries and large cities, such as Tokyo, Lima, and Perth. That's because about 3.5 billion people (half the world's population) live in cities today and they want fresh, healthy food. And more and more people think urban farming is the answer to the world's food shortages, as well as to making our cities greener and more relaxing.

There are many things you can do to help reduce plastic pollution. Firstly, you should reduce your use of plastic. You should avoid single-use plastic products such as straws or takeaway coffee cups. Instead, choose reusable products made from bamboo or metal. Besides, you should use strong, reusable shopping bags made from other materials rather than plastic. Secondly, you should reuse plastic. If you have plastic items, make sure you use them many times. For example, you can refill water bottles and reuse lunch boxes. Finally, you should recycle plastic whenever you can.

2. Read the text and choose the best answers.

(Đọc văn bản và chọn câu trả lời đúng nhất.)

The most obvious advantage of living green is that it helps reduce environmental pollution. This is done by practising the 3Rs. The first R means choosing products very carefully to reduce waste as much as possible. Reusing involves the repeated use of items. The third R is about separating materials that can be recycled and later used for a new purpose.

There are also economic benefits to living green. Reducing the use of energy and water can help save money on household bills. Furthermore, reusing products and materials is another way to make saving. It helps save on production costs since creating new products wastes materials and is expensive. Recycled products also last longer than new ones, making them a better and more eco-friendly option.

Lastly, going green offers health benefits. It reduces air pollutants by making the air we breathe cleaner and healthier. This means fewer diseases and doctor's appointments. Another way to improve your health is to purchase organic foods and green products for your household. They don't use harmful chemicals that can lead to health issues. In turn, you are also supporting responsible farming methods that protect the environment.

Read the text and decide whether the statements are T (true) or F (false)

The Zookeeper

My name's Mark Porter. I've been interested in the natural world since I was very young. I used to keep insects, and I spent a lot of time drawing them. After I finished school, I went to work in a pet shop - that was great fun, but I knew I had to go to college if I wanted a better job. So I went to university to study Biology and then got a job in Florida working at a sea-life centre, looking after the dolphins.

While I was working there, I saw an advertisement for my current job - a keeper for the fish department at a zoo in California - and applied. Although it was for the same money, I was pleased when they immediately offered me the job because there are lots of different activities I'm involved in here. As part of my job, I get to do research, and I manage an education centre where I tell people of all ages about what they can do to protect fish and animals.

People think that my job is exciting because I go diving as part of my research work on sharks. However, I work long hours, and I worry if I have to call a medical specialist to come and look after a sick fish. Conditions at work can be uncomfortable too, as a lot of the fish I look after bite, so I have to be careful. Then there are the visitors. Some are OK, but some try to touch the fish or put sweet wrappers in the water - that makes me angry. However, my job is very rewarding, and I hope that you'll think about working with animals, too.

Forests cover 31% of the land area on our planet. They help produce clean water and air, and provide people with jobs. About 13 million people across the world have a job in the forest industry and another 41 milion have a job that is related to it. Many animals also rely on forests. Eighty percent of the world's land-based animals, such as elephants and rhinos, live in forests. Forests also play an important role in reducing climate change by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere, thus making the air cleaner.
However, deforestation has put forests in many parts of the world at risk. This is mostly caused by human activities. For example, in the Amazon around 17% of the forest has boon lost in the last 50 years mostly because people cut down trees to make room for more farms. Besides, wood trade is another direct cause of deforestation. Every year around 15 billion trees are cut down and used for paper and wood products. Climate change is also responsible for this problem. Extreme weather events like wildfires and floods destroy much of the world's forests every year.

The saola is one of the rarest large animals on earth. It was discovered by Ministry of  Forestry of  Viet Nam and WWF in the Vu Quang Nature Reserve in 1992. Adult saolas weigh 80-100 kg and both females and males have long, gently curving horns, red and brown fur and an unusual pattern of white markings on the head.

This beautiful animal is found only in Laos and Viet Nam, along the shared border of the two countries. It lives in deep, wild forests which are not damaged by human activities. Because the saola is unique and very rare, it is impossible to know its exact population. Based on information from local villagers and images by photographers, researchers estimate that there are fewer than 750 saolas, and the number is declining due to illegal hunting and habitat loss.

To save the saola, some natural scientists think that we must rescue surviving individuals and provide a protected habitat for them. The last saola must be found caught and taken to the animal breeding centres, where they can produce young animals. Strict punishment should be applied to illegal hunting of the saola so that the rare, beautiful animal can survive.

1. What is the main idea of the text?

A. The saola can't survive in the wild and nothing can be done to save them.

B. The soola is an endangered animal that needs to be protected to survive.

C. The soola habitat is destroyed by local villagers and photographers.

D. a strange line on animal's body

4. According to the text, the population of the saola is __________.

A. rising

B. stable

C. falling

D. unchanged

5. What can be inferred from the text?

A. This endangered animal can be saved in the nature reserve.

1. The benefits of replacing plastic with other materials

2. The problems we might have when trying to ban plastic

Would Banning Plastic Help the Environment?

First, let’s talk about why we might want to ban plastic. Most plastic products will remain on Earth for hundreds of years, and we produce about 380 million tons of plastic every year. Only 9% is recycled, and the rest ends up in landfills, and oceans.*

Plastic pollution is one of our most serious problems, and many countries are thinking about banning plastic, especially single-use packaging. However, it would be impossible to ban plastic completely. The truth is, plastic is everywhere. Without plastic, you would need to buy water, milk, etc. in glass bottles or cartons. Your meat and fish would be wrapped in paper or leaves. Lots of food wouldn’t remain fresh for as long as when they’re wrapped in plastic, and we might waste more food. And while glass and paper can be recycled many times, we need lots of energy to produce them.

What about plastic that can be composted? If they can be composted, they should be better for the environment, right? Not really. This type of plastic can only be composted in industrial conditions. You can’t do it in your backyard!

So, the answer is, if we just replaced plastic with other materials and never reused them, it wouldn’t be much better for the environment. The best solution is to reuse everything as many times as possible and reduce our dependence on plastic.

a. Read Paul’s essay and answer the questions.

(Đọc bài luận của Paul và trả lời các câu hỏi.)

1. In which paragraph did Paul mention the water pollution effect?

2. Did he give any suggestions to solve pollution?

A. Water pollution is a serious environmental problem because it affects not only human lives but also the natural habitats of animals and plants.
B. Water pollution includes the pollution in lakes, rivers, oceans, or underground water. Pollutants from households, factories, and farms are the three main causes for water pollution. This is because these places are usually located quite near the water sources. Wastewater from homes runs into lakes or rivers. The polluted water in lakes affects the underground water which turns into drinking water later. Wastewater from industry and farming also harms the environment if their wastewater treatment system is not sufficient. Water from lakes and rivers carry the pollutants to oceans, and this kills sea animals and plants.
C. One effective solution to deal with this issue is to reduce the amount of waste in water. People should not pour fat or oil from cooking directly into the sink. They should have a jar or a bottle to collect this waste. We should also only use washing machines or dishwashers when they are full to save water and cleaning liquid. The government can help by checking and evaluating the wastewater treatment system of factories and farms. Waste and chemicals should be removed before water runs into the environment and causes damage.
D. In conclusion, water pollution is harmful to the health of people as well as the natural environment. In order to solve this issue, action should be taken by both people and the government.

How to help improve local environment

There are many things people can do to improve their local environment. Families should make sure that glass, paper, and other recyclables are put into the right bins for recycling. If your neighborhood doesn’t have a recycling program, ask your mayor to start one. It’d be easier for everyone to recycle their trash if there were drop-off locations near their house or if they could leave their trash outside for pickup. Stores can also help solve environmental problems. They should stop giving single-use plastic bags to their customers and sell reusable bags. If people had to buy reusable bags, they would start to bring their own bags. Stores should also use less packaging for food items. Lots of fruit and vegetables don’t need to be wrapped in plastic. Schools and businesses should try to use less electricity because electrical power plants can cause a lot of pollution. Use fans and open windows when you can to save electricity. Or try to set the air conditioner temperature to around 24-27 degrees Celsius and not too low like 18 degrees. Everyone will still feel comfortable, and the air conditioners won’t use as much electricity. Schools should stop selling plastic bottles in their cafeterias and ask students to bring reusable bottles. Teachers can organize clean-ups around the school or in parks. Students should bring reusable water bottles to school and try to use less paper.
1. Families should …
A. start recycling programs in their neighborhoods.

Cleaning the Air...

Air pollution is a major issue that has serious effects on our health. It is much worse in cities. Although some measures have been taken, more need to be done.
One city that is taking big steps to reduce air pollution is Birmingham. It wants to create a Clean Air Zone that will improve the air quality for everyone in the city. It plans to do this by improving the public transport system. There are long-term plans over the next twenty years to build three new metro lines and create fast bus routes across the city as well as open new train stations and improve the railways lines.
Other plans are already in place. The city council is encouraging people to cycle more and only use their cars when there is more than one person in each vehicle. It is also introducing a programme to help people and businesses buy electric vehicles.
The council has also come up with ideas to help manage traffic. Their solutions aim to make traffic flow smoothly, so there are fewer traffic jams causing increased traffic fumes. The city centre will become a Clean Air Zone in June this year and people will have to pay to drive their cars here. This will reduce the amounts of nitrogen dioxide and make the air cleaner for the people who live and work there. The city is already on its way to making the air cleaner for its citizens and improving their health.

How to help reduce traffic in big cities

A Improving public transport and introducing laws to limit the number of cars are the two effective ways to 

solve the issue of heavy traffic.  B Firstly, we can improve public transport by making trains and buses 

better and cheaper. By doing this, more people will use them.  C Furthermore, it would be a good idea to introduce laws to limit the number of cars that can go into in the city centre. In this way, there will be fewer cars in the area and it will be safer and healthier for people walking in the town centre. D All in all, I believe that doing these two things allows us to solve the traffic issue and make our city a nicer place to live in.

How to reduce your carbon footprint

Reducing the use of energy in vehicles for transport and using renewable energy are the two possible ways to reduce carbon emissions. Firstly, we should try to use as little energy as possible. This means walking or cycling as much as we can before we use public transport or our own cars. This would reduce carbon emissions greatly and have a huge reduction

in greenhouse gases, Secondly, we can use renewable energy like solar power for lighting, heating and cooking in our homes and workplaces. By doing this, we can cut down carbon emissions and save energy and money too. All in all, using renewable energy in our homes and workplaces as well as cutting down the use of vehicles for transport will lower our carbon emissions. If we have a much smaller carbon footprint, the Earth can start to heal.

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

Coincident with concerns about the accelerating loss of species and habitats has been growing appreciation of the importance of biological diversity, the number of species in a particular ecosystem, to the health of the Earth and human well-being. Much has been written about the diversity of terrestrial organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich life associated with tropical rain-forest habitats. Relatively little has been said, however, about diversity of life in the sea even though coral reef systems are comparable to rain forests in terms of richness of life.

An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet’s dominants, most-distinctive feature - the ocean. Humans have a bias toward land that sometimes gets in the way of truly examining global issues. Seen from far away, it is easy to realize that landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth’s surface. Given that two thirds of the Earth’s surface is water and that marine life lives at all levels of the ocean, the total three-dimensional living space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and contains more than 90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct species.

The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world’s rain forests does not seem surprising, considering the huge number of insects that comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist found many different species of ants in just one tree from a rain forest. While every species is different from every other species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be insects and to share similar characteristics with 750,000 species of insects. If basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasis than differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is unquestionably the sea. Nearly every major type of plant and animal has some representation there. To appreciate fully the diversity and abundance of life in the sea, it helps to think small. Every spoonful of ocean water contains life, on the order of 100 to 100,000 bacterial cells plus assorted microscopic plants and animals, including larvae of organisms ranging from sponges and corals to starfish and clams and much more.

Question: The word “bias” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

  • A.

    prejudice

  • B.

    concern

  • C.

    disadvantage

  • D.

    attitude
