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 from 39 to 45.
Conservation conflicts arise when natural-resource shortages develop in the face of steadily increasing
demands from a growing human population. Controversy frequently surrounds how a resource should be
used, or allocated, and for whom. For example, a river may supply water for agricultural irrigation, habitat
for fish, and water-generated electricity for a factory. Farmers, fishers, and industry leaders vie for
unrestricted access to this river, but such freedom could destroy the resource, and conservation methods are
necessary to protect the river for future use.
Conflicts worsen when a natural resource crosses political boundaries. For example, the headwaters, or
source, of a major river may be located in a different country than the country through which the river flows.
There is no guarantee that the river source will be protected to accommodate resource needs downstream. In
addition, the way in which one natural resource is managed has a direct effect upon other natural resources.
Cutting down a forest near a river, for instance, increases erosion, the wearing away of topsoil, and can lead
to flooding. Eroded soil and silt cloud the river and adversely affect many organisms such as fish and
important aquatic plants that require clean, clear freshwater for survival.

especially a written promise by a company to repair or change a product that develops a fault within a particular period of time”?
A. guarantee B. shortage C. population D. habitat
Question 40: When do conflicts decline?
A. when natural-resource shortages increase in the features of gradually increasing demands from a rising human population
B. when a natural resource crosses political borders
C. when freedom could destroy the resource Trang 3
D. when eroded soil and silt cloud affect many organisms
Question 41 : What may bring water to agricultural irrigation? A. a river B. topsoil C. erosion D. a forest
Question 42 : Which sentence below is not correct?

B. A river may provide water for agricultural irrigation, habitat for fish, and water-generated electricity for a factory.
C. Conservation methods are incidental to care for the river for future use.
D. Farmers, fishers, and industry leaders vie for open access to this river.
Question 43 ; Which sentence below is true?
A. Conflicts improve when a natural resource crosses political borders.
B. The source of a main river may be located in the country through which the river flows than a different country.
C. There is assurance that the river source will be confined to provide accommodation for resource needs downstream.
