Read the passage and choose the best answer
Africa's wild giraffe population has plunged dramatically and the world's tallest animals are in the
process of a "silent extinction", a conservation group has reported.
Giraffe populations have fallen by up to 40% over the last 30 years, the International Union for
Conservation of Nature says in the latest edition of its "Red List" of endangered species. The gentle giants'
numbers have dipped from as many as 163,000 in 1985 to just over 97,000 in 2015, according to the
report. The steep decline was one of the headline statistics from the report, and is driven by some familiar
factors including habitat loss, civil unrest and unforgettably, illegal hunting. Elsewhere, of the 742 newly
recognized bird species in the list, 11% are considered threatened ‒ and 13 already listed as "extinct".
Many species are slipping away before we can even describe them. This IUCN Red List update shows
that the scale of the global extinction crisis may be even greater than we thought. Among bird species
under threat is the African grey parrot, a popular pet, which is now classed as "Endangered" on the list
because of "unsustainable trapping and habitat loss."
Across animals, birds, insects, aquatic life and plants, the IUCN Red List now includes 85,604
species, of which 24,307 are threatened with extinction.
The plunge in the number of wild giraffe prompted the group to move the animals from the "least
concern" rating to "vulnerable", in the report. "While giraffes are commonly seen on safari, in the media
and in zoos, people ‒ including conservationists ‒ are unaware that these majestic animals are undergoing
a silent extinction," IUCN co-Chairman Julian Fennessy, was quoted as saying. "With a decline of almost
40% in the last three decades alone, the world's tallest animal is under severe pressure in some of its core
ranges across East, Central and West Africa. As one of the world's most iconic animals, it is timely that
we take risks for the giraffe before it is too late." Of nine subspecies of giraffe, five are declining in
numbers, while three have increasing populations and one is stable.
22. According to the passage, 13 newly recognized bird species are listed as _____ A. extinct B. least concern C. vulnerable D. endangered

The primary attraction of snorkeling is the opportunity to observe underwater life in a natural setting, such
as coral reefs, fish, starfish, and mollusks. Other organisms that can be seen while snorkeling include
various forms of seaweed, jellyfish, shrimp and $ea turtles. Snorkeling requires no special training, only
the ability to swim and to breathe through the snorkel. However, it is considered advisable that one get
some instruction from a tour guide, dive shop, or equipment rental shop, any of which often can be found
around popular snorkeling locations. Instruction generally covers equipment usage, basic safety, what to
look for, and what to look out for, including how not to damage fragile organisms such as coral. As with
scuba diving, it is always recommended that one, should not snorkel alone, but rather with a friend, a guide, or a tour group.
Swim fins used in snorkeling are usually longer than those used in diving. Snorkel is a tube about thirty
centimeters (twelve inches) long, usually J-shaped, fitted with a mouthpiece, and constructed of rubber or
plastic. It is used for breathing air from above the water surface when the mouth and nose are submerged,
either when snorkeling or during a surface swim before or after scuba diving. The snorkel usually has a
piece of rubber that attaches the snorkel to the outside of the strap of the diving mask, as sticking the
snorkel in between the strap and the mask could cause the mask to leak, or risk losing the snorkel should
the diver choose to switch to scuba.
Typically, the diving mask also serves to prevent breathing through the nose, so that one is forced to
breathe through the snorkel. This also provides some negative pressure which helps keep the .mask sealed
against the face, though attempting to breathe out through the nose can break this seal and fog the mask.

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.
If you enjoy water sports, Hawaii is the place for you. You can go swimming all year round in the
warm water. You can go sport fishing from the shore or from a boat. If you like boats, you can go
sailing, canoeing, or windsurfing. Or, you can also try some other water sports that are especially
popular in Hawaii: surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving.
Surfing is a sport which started in Hawaii many years ago. The Hawaiians called it “he’e nalu”,
which means “to slide on a wave”. If you want to try surfing, you need, first of all, to be a good
swimmer. You also have to have an excellent sense of balance. You must swim out from the
beach with your surfboard under your arm. When you get to where the waves begin to break, you
wait for a calm moment. Then you try to stand up on the board. The wave will begin to rise under
you. You must try to steer the board with your feet so you stay on top of the wave. The important
thing is to keep your balance and not fall down. If you can manage this, you will have an exciting
ride all the way in to the shore.
Scuba diving and snorkeling are two ways to get a close look at the beauty lying below the
surface of the ocean. The waters off the Hawaiian Islands are clean, clear and warm. They contain
hundreds of kinds of colorful fish. The undersea world is made even more colorful by the coral
reefs of red, gold, white and light purple. Among these reefs there may be larger fish or sea turtles.
Scuba diving allows you to see the most interesting undersea sights. “Scuba” means “Self-
contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus”, that is, equipment for breathing and swimming
around far under water. In Hawaii, you can take special courses to learn how to scuba dive. After
the courses, you can get a certificate that will allow you to dive alone. Since it can be dangerous,
proper instruction and great care are always necessary when you are scuba diving.
If you are adventurous, you might try snorkeling instead of scuba diving. Less equipment is
needed, just a face mask, a breathing tube (snorkel) and flippers for your feet. It only takes a few
minutes to learn how to snorkel. Although you cannot dive deep into the water, you can swim
with your face below the surface. Breathing through the tube, you float on the surface, and keep
yourself moving with your flippers. Even from the surface like this, there will be plenty of color and beauty to see.
Question 32: The passage is about______________.
A. water sports around the world B. surfing
C. tourist activities in Hawaii
D. water sports in Hawaii
Question 33: You can infer from the passage that______________.
A. water sports are all expensive
B. you need to take a course for all water sports

Question 34: The word “this” in the second paragraph refers to______________.
A. standing on the board
B. keeping balanced and not falling down C. an exciting ride
D. staying on top of the wave
Question 35: The word “proper” in paragraph 4 refers to______________.

Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in urban and rural areas. Specifically,
they have shined brightly in even many fields commonly regarded as the man's areas such as business, scientific research
and social management. In some areas, women even show more overwhelming power than men. The image of
contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness, dynamism, success has become popular in Vietnam's society. The
fact reveals that the gender gap has been remarkably narrowed and women enjoy many more opportunities to pursue
their social careers and obtain success, contributing to national socio-economic development. According to Ms, Le Thi
Quy, Director of the Gender/and Development Research Centre under the University of Social Sciences and Humanities,
Hanoi National University, gender equity in Vietnam has reached a high level over the past decade. The rate of
Vietnamese women becoming National Assembly members from the 9th term to the 11th term increased 8.7%, bringing
the proportion of Vietnamese women in authority to 27.3%, the highest rate in Southeast Asia. There is no big gap in the
level of literacy and schooling between men and women. Women account for about 37% of university and college
graduates, 19.9% of doctoral degree holders and 6.7% of professors and associate professors.
The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before with more complete legal documents
including laws, conventions and national action plans, among which the laws on "gender equity" mark a turning-point in the empowerment of women.
Mass media also highlights the continued success of women in every field and honors their great importance in modern
society, helping to do away with outdated perceptions about traditional women's duties. Many projects on reproductive
health care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted by various mass organizations, state
agencies and non-governmental organizations have created favorable conditions for women to become involved.
