This document is a practice test for the Vietnamese national high school graduation exam containing 20 multiple choice questions about an English language reading passage. The passage discusses the increasing pressure on small, minority languages as more children shift to languages like Mandarin, Hindi, English and Spanish that promise greater educational and economic opportunities. While bilingual education can help preserve endangered languages, governments are not obligated to support languages that are not economically productive, especially with limited budgets. However, the loss of each language also means a loss of unique cultural knowledge built up over thousands of years.

In our connected globalized world, the languages which dominate communications and business,
Mandarin, Hindi, English, Spanish and Russian amongst others, are placing small languages spoken in
remote places under increasing pressure. Fewer and fewer people speak languages such as Liki, Taushiro
and Dumi as their children shift away from the language of their ancestors towards languages which
promise education, success and the chance of a better life. While to many parents, this may appear a
reasonable choice, giving their offspring the opportunity to achieve the sort of prosperity they see on
television, the children themselves often lose touch with their roots. However, in many places the more
reasonable option of bilingualism, where children learn to speak both a local and a national language, is
being promoted. This gives hope that many endangered languages will survive, allowing people to
combine their links to local tradition with access to wider world culture.
While individuals are free to choose if they wish to speak a minority language, national
governments should be under no obligation to provide education in an economically unproductive
language, especially in times of budget constraints. It is generally accepted that national languages unite
and help to create wealth while minority regional languages divide. Furthermore, governments have a
duty to ensure that young people can fulfil their full potential, meaning that state education must provide
them with the ability to speak and work in their national language and so equip them to participate
responsibly in national affairs. People whose language competence does not extend beyond the use of a
regional tongue have limited prospects. This means that while many people may feel a sentimental
attachment to their local language, their government’s position should be one of benign neglect, allowing
people to speak the language, but not acting to prevent its eventual disappearance.
Many PhD students studying minority languages lack the resources to develop their language
skills, with the result that they have to rely on interpreters and translators to communicate with speakers
of the language they are studying. This has a detrimental effect on the quality of their research. At the
same time, they have to struggle against the frequently expressed opinion that minority languages serve
no useful purpose and should be allowed to die a natural death. Such a view fails to take into account the
fact that a unique body of knowledge and culture, built up over thousands of years, is contained in a
language and that language extinction and species extinction are different facets of the same process.
They are part of an impending global catastrophe which is beginning to look unavoidable.

world culture.

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 following questions from 36 to 40.

A Plastic Ocean is a film to make you think. Think, and then act. We need to take action on our
dependence on plastic. We’ve been producing plastic in huge quantities since the 1940s. Drink bottles,
shopping bags, toiletries and even clothes are made with plastic. We live in a world full of plastic, and
only a small proportion is recycled. What happens to all the rest? This is the question the film A Plastic
Ocean answers. It is a documentary that looks at the impact that plastic waste has on the environment.
Spoiler alert: the impact is devastating.
The film begins as a journey to film the largest animal on the planet, the blue whale. But during
the journey the filmmakers (journalist Craig Leeson and environmental activist Tanya Streeter) make the
shocking discovery of a huge, thick layer of plastic floating in the middle of the Indian Ocean. This
prompts them to travel around the world to look at other areas that have been affected. In total, they
visited 20 locations around the world during the four years it took them to make the film. The
documentary premiered in 2016, and is now on streaming services such as Netflix.
It’s very clear that a lot of research went into the film. There are beautiful shots of the seas and
marine life. These are contrasted with scenes of polluted cities and dumps full of plastic rubbish. We see
how marine species are being killed by all the plastic we are dumping in the ocean. The message about
our use of plastic is painfully obvious.
But the film doesn’t only present the negative side. In the second half, the filmmakers look at what
we can do to reverse the tide of plastic flowing around the world. They present short-term and long-term
solutions. These include avoiding plastic containers and ‘single-use’ plastic products as much as
possible. Reuse your plastic bags and recycle as much as you can. The filmmakers also stress the need
for governments to work more on recycling programmes, and look at how technology is developing that
can convert plastic into fuel.
We make a staggering amount of plastic. In terms of plastic bags alone, we use five hundred
billion worldwide annually. Over 300 million tons of plastic are produced every year, and at least 8
million of those are dumped into the oceans. The results are disastrous, but it isn’t too late to change.
Once you’ve seen A Plastic Ocean, you’ll realise the time is now and we all have a role to play.

fits each of the numbered blanks.
Why is it that many teenagers have the energy to play computer games until late at night but can’t find
the energy to get out of bed in time for school? According to a new report, today’s generation of children
are in danger of getting so (46) sleep that they are putting their mental and physical health at risk.
Adults can easily survive on seven to eight hours’ sleep a night, (47) teenagers require nine or ten
hours. According to medical experts, one in five youngsters gets anything between two and five hours’
sleep a night less than their parents did at their age.
This (48) serious questions about whether lack of sleep is affecting children’s ability to concentrate
at school. The connection between sleep deprivation and lapses in memory, impaired reaction time and
poor concentration is well established. Research has shown that losing as little as half an hour’s sleep a
night can have profound effects on how children perform the next day. A good night’s sleep is also
crucial for teenagers because it is while they are asleep (49) they release a hormone that is essential
for their ‘growth spurt’ (the period during teenage years when the body grows at a rapid rate). It’s true
that they can, to some (50)_____ , catch up on sleep at weekends, but that won’t help them when they
are dropping off to sleep in class on a Friday afternoon.
