Read the following passage about meat consumption 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 19.

Many people enjoy diets rich in meat and dairy products. But experts warn this trend cannot continue for long. The current demand for animal-based food is not sustainable, and future generations will have to change their eating habits.

One major reason is the amount of water required. It takes far more water to feed animals than to grow grains. For example, fifteen cubic meters of water is needed to produce one kilogram of beef, while a kilo of cereals needs less than three cubic meters. It also takes more water to process and refrigerate meat. The meat industry consumes over half of all water used in the United States, and most of it is used to irrigate cattle feedlots.

Meat production not only uses a lot of water, it also causes water pollution and affects land. Waste from livestock contains high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, which pollute groundwater and waterways. In the U.S., 56% of agricultural land is used to produce meat. Strains on land include topsoil erosion and the depletion of forested areas.

This industry is also subsidized by the government, so the price of meat does not reflect the environmental hazards involved. As a result, many people are unaware of the negative impact of meat production and how severely it depletes resources needed for the future. Because these costs are not included in the price, people remain unaware. Furthermore, many producers ignore these facts to continue making a profit.

Câu 12: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a negative effect of meat production?

The word sustainable in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to

The word it in paragraph 3 refers to _____.

The word hazards in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _____.

Câu 25:

Read the following passage about lifelong learning 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 31 to 40.

[I] In 2015, Doreetha Daniels received her associate degree in social sciences from College of the Canyons, in Santa Clarita, California. [II] But Daniels wasn't a typical student. She was 99 years old. [III] In the press release about her graduation, Daniels indicated that she wanted to get her degree simply to better herself; her six years of study were a testament to her will, determination, and commitment to learning. [IV]

As we age, learning isn't simply about earning degrees or attending storied institutions. Books, online courses, professional development programs, podcasts, and other resources are abundant and accessible, making it easier than ever to build a habit of lifelong learning. Each day offers opportunities for intellectual development tailored to individual learning styles.

Educational investments are an economic imperative. The links between formal education and lifetime earnings are well-studied and substantial. Outside universities, ongoing learning and skill development are essential to surviving economic and technological disruption. As many jobs are expected to disappear due to new technology, keeping up with these changes requires constant learning and self-improvement.

Learning is also positive for health. Reading, even briefly, can reduce stress. A recent report in Neurology noted that while cognitive activity can't change the biology of Alzheimer's, it can help delay symptoms and preserve quality of life. Other research indicates that learning a new instrument can offset cognitive decline, and learning difficult new skills in older age is linked to improved memory. There's also a well-studied relationship between longevity and education. Studies suggest that a year of formal education can add more than half a year to a person's life span. Perhaps Doreetha Daniels, at 99, knows something many of us have missed.

Question 31: Where in paragraph I does the following sentence best fit?
"Daniels' Journey exemplifies the idea that perseverance and dedication can lead to academic success at any stage of life."

The phrase a testament to in paragraph I could be best replaced by _____.

The word it in paragraph 4 refers to _____.
