The concept of shared domestic labor has evolved significantly in modern society, moving away from traditional gender roles. It is increasingly accepted that sharing housework is not just about fairness; it is

essential for a harmonious and balanced family life. However, achieving genuine equality in this area remains a challenge for many households (18)________ .

When children are involved in household chores from an early age, it yields numerous benefits. Studies show that children who regularly contribute to household tasks develop a strong sense of responsibility and valuable life skills.

This sense of belonging and competence is crucial for their long-term development. Furthermore, (19)________ .

Shared chores also benefit the relationship between partners. Disputes over cleaning, cooking, or managing finances are common sources of conflict in relationships. When partners equally divide these tasks, it reduces resentment and fosters mutual respect. This mutual effort strengthens the bond (20)________ . Effective communication is key to successfully distributing household labor. Families should hold regular, open discussions about who does what, and when, (21)________ .

Read the following passage about the urban shift and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

Sometimes, the pace of modern life barely gives you time to stop and rest. It can make getting a good night’s sleep on a regular basis seem like a dream. But sleep is as important for good health as diet and exercise. Good sleep improves your brain performance, mood, and health.

Not getting enough quality sleep regularly raises the risk of many diseases and disorders. These range from heart disease and stroke to obesity and dementia. People who work the night shift or irregular schedules may find getting quality sleep extra challenging. And times of great stress – like the current pandemic – can disrupt our normal sleep routines.

Sleep is not just a “down time”. Because while you sleep, your brain is still working. Sleep helps prepare your brain to learn, remember, and create, remove waste from the brain system.” Everything from blood vessels to the immune system uses sleep as a time for repair. There are certain repair processes that occur in the body mostly, or most powerfully, during sleep. If you don’t get enough sleep, they are going to be disturbed.

Some people have conditions that prevent them from getting enough quality sleep, no matter how hard they try. These problems are called sleep disorders, or insomnia in another word. Treatments are available for many common sleep disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help many people with insomnia get better sleep. Medications can also help some people. Many people with sleep apnea benefit from using a device called a CPAP machine. These machines keep the airway open so that you can breathe. Other treatments can include special mouth guards and lifestyle changes.

There are many things you can do to improve your sleep. For example, get some exercise every day (but not close to bedtime); avoid nicotine, caffeine, alcohol and large meals before bedtime because they are stimulants that keep you awake and can prevent deep, restorative sleep. “Sleep is not a throwaway thing – it’s a biological necessity’, says Dr. Marishka Brown, a sleep expert at the National Institutes of Health.

Read the following passage about the urban shift and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

Global warming is the long-term increase in the planet’s overall average temperature observed in recent decades. While Earth’s climate is naturally variable, the current rapid temperature changes are accelerating faster than nature alone can explain. [I] These accelerated changes are fundamentally driven by human activities, primarily the widespread burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas for energy.

Burning fossil fuels causes the "greenhouse effect." [II] Certain gases in the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor, are highly effective at trapping this reflected heat, preventing it from escaping into space. The excessive concentration of these greenhouse gases - skyrocketing particularly since the Industrial Revolution and especially since the 1980s - is the core reason for the rise in the planet’s average global temperature.

It's important to distinguish between global warming and climate change. Global warming is the rising average temperature, while climate change refers to the resulting shifts in global weather patterns and growing seasons. Global warming is the cause of climate change, which poses a serious threat. [III] Humans are feeling the impact globally, manifested as intense droughts, wildfires, extreme storms, and heavier rainfall.

These higher temperatures are also forcing wildlife to migrate, leading to predictions that many species could face extinction if the trend continues. [IV]

The effects of global warming are devastating the oceans and coastal areas. As the ocean warms, glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets are rapidly melting, causing sea levels to rise and threatening islands and coastal communities with flooding. Coral reefs, vital ecosystems supporting thousands of species, are a tragic symbol of this change, with many dying due to the warmer waters. Underwater storytellers, like National Geographic Explorer Shireen Rahimi, are documenting the consequences of the changing seas to encourage environmental action.

Recognizing the severity of the threat, countries worldwide are now focused on lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The most significant international effort is the Paris Agreement, signed by nearly 200 countries in 2015. This international treaty tasks each nation with actively reducing its emissions. The collective goal is ambitious: to slow the pace of global warming and prevent the Earth’s temperature from rising more than 2oC Cabove pre-industrial levels.

Câu 31:

Where in the passage does the following sentence best fit?

"This occurs when sunlight penetrates the atmosphere and is reflected as heat from the Earth's surface."

A.
[I]
B.
[II]
C.
[III]
D.
[IV]
Câu 32:

Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the entire passage?

A.
Global warming is a long-standing environmental problem caused by natural climate variability that requires better scientific monitoring.
B.
Human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels, accelerates global warming, causing severe climate change and demanding urgent international action.
C.
The Paris Agreement is the only effective measure to combat the rapid melting of ice caps and the extinction of marine species.
D.
Defining the difference between global warming and climate change is the biggest obstacle to developing effective global environmental policies.
Câu 33:

The word "accelerated" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.

A.
hindered
B.
mitigated
C.
escalated
D.
maintained
Câu 34:

According to paragraph 3, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a consequence of climate change on land?

A.
Shifts in global weather patterns and the timing of growing seasons worldwide.
B.
Changes in the average daily temperature in major urban centers and cities.
C.
The emergence of extreme weather events like severe droughts and huge wildfires.
D.
Animals being forced to change habitats or moving to cooler geographical areas.
Câu 35:

A.
the documentation of the changing seas by underwater storytellers
B.
the severe flooding problems faced by coastal communities
C.
the phenomenon of the ocean warming and the melting of ice
D.
the tragic death of thousands of fish and other organisms in coral reefs
Câu 36:

According to paragraph 2, the burning of fossil fuels increases the temperature of the Earth because the emitted gases _______.

A.
attract more sunlight into the atmosphere, which directly heats the planet’s surface
B.
are very efficient at reflecting heat away from the Earth’s surface and into space
C.
prevent the sun's rays from penetrating the atmosphere, thus cooling the outer layers
D.
possess the property of trapping the heat that Earth reflects and keeping it in the atmosphere
Câu 37:

According to paragraph 5, the primary objective of the Paris Agreement is to _______.

A.
ensure that all signatory countries contribute equally to financing global renewable energy projects
B.
limit the global average temperature increase to less than 2oC above the 18th century average
C.
task nearly 200 nations with reducing their greenhouse gas emissions to control global warming
D.
transition all global energy generation away from fossil fuels and towards clean energy sources by 2050
Câu 38:

Which option best summarizes the main idea of paragraph 4?

A.
Coral reefs are the only natural ecosystems seriously threatened by rising ocean temperatures, leading to efforts by National Geographic Explorers.
B.
Warming oceans and melting ice contribute to sea-level rise and cause severe damage to marine ecosystems, symbolized by coral bleaching.
C.
Coastal communities are facing severe flooding primarily because human activity is damaging the natural protective barriers of islands.
D.
Underwater storytellers are proving that all life on Earth, from corals to fish, is being forced to adapt to much warmer ocean conditions.
