Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions.
In Ho Chi Minh City, the job market is competitive, and employers often have specific requirements for
potential candidates. Many job postings emphasize the need for relevant experience. For example, companies
frequently seek candidates with at least two years of experience in their respective fields. This requirement
can be challenging for recent graduates who are just entering the workforce.
Additionally, proficiency in foreign languages, especially English, is increasingly important. Many
positions, particularly in multinational companies, require employees to communicate effectively in English.
Soft skills are also highly valued. Employers are looking for candidates who possess strong
communication skills, teamwork abilities, and problem-solving capabilities. These interpersonal skills can
often set candidates apart, especially when technical qualifications are similar.
Moreover, technological proficiency is essential in many sectors. Knowledge of software applications
relevant to the job and familiarity with digital tools can significantly enhance a candidate's employability. For
instance, in marketing roles, candidates who understand social media management and digital marketing
strategies are in high demand.

candidates who align with their corporate values and can contribute positively to the company culture. This
means that personal traits and attitudes are just as important as professional qualifications.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions.
[I] Deepfakes represent a cutting-edge yet [II]concerning technological advancement in the realm of
artificial intelligence. [III]. These sophisticated digital manipulations use machine learning algorithms to
create convincing and often highly deceptive videos or audio recordings that appear truly authentic but are
entirely fabricated. [IV]
On one hand, the technology offers innovative possibilities for entertainment, filmmaking, and even
certain beneficial applications in fields like medicine and education. However, the darker side of deepfakes

Nguyen Van Cu Upper- Secondary school By teacher: Thanh Tran

WEEK 6 MOCK TEST 01 School year: 2024- 2025

raises substantial ethical and societal concerns. Their misuse can lead to the dissemination of false
information, manipulation of public opinion, and the erosion of trust in media and digital content.
The capacity of deepfakes to convincingly depict individuals saying or doing things they never did
raises profound implications for privacy, reputation, and security. Malicious actors could weaponize this
technology to create damaging scenarios, manipulating public figures or individuals for political sabotage,
defamation, or other malicious purposes.
Moreover, combating deepfakes poses a considerable challenge. As technology advances, distinguishing
between authentic and manipulated content becomes increasingly difficult. Efforts to develop detection
methods and regulations to curb the misuse of deepfake technology are ongoing but face an uphill battle
against its rapid evolution.
The evolution of deepfake technology prompts a critical need for vigilance, digital literacy, and robust
mechanisms to authenticate and verify digital content. Educating individuals about the existence and
potential risks of deepfakes becomes imperative to cultivate a society equipped to discern and navigate
the complexities of an increasingly manipulated digital landscape.
31: Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
The potential implications of deepfakes are far-reaching and multifaceted.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]

A. individuals B. things C. deepfakes D. implications
34: According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT a positive application of deepfake technology?
A. enhancing entertainment B. improving educational content
C. creating realistic fake news D. advancing medical training
35: Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?
A. Deepfakes can erode public trust and spread misinformation.
B. Ethical concerns about deepfakes are easily addressed.
C. The misuse of deepfakes primarily affects individual reputations.
D. Deepfakes are used mostly for entertainment purposes.
36: The word vigilance in paragraph 6 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______.
A. attentiveness B. negligence C. awareness D. responsibility
37: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Deepfakes are primarily used in the medical field.
B. All deepfakes are easily detectable with current technology.
C. Many potential risks of deepfakes remain unaddressed.
D. The use of deepfakes has no ethical implications.
38: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 6?
A. It is essential to educate the public about deepfakes to navigate a complex digital world.
B. Understanding deepfakes is critical for maintaining trust in digital content.
C. Developing technology to combat deepfakes is crucial for the future.
D. Society must prepare for the challenges posed by deepfake technology.
39: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The rise of deepfakes will lead to increased trust in digital content.
B. The benefits of deepfake technology outweigh its risks.
C. Digital literacy will become increasingly important as deepfake technology evolves.
D. Society will fully embrace deepfakes as a standard practice.
40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. Deepfake technology offers numerous benefits but poses serious ethical and societal challenges.

C. While deepfakes can enhance creativity, they also threaten personal privacy and security.
D. Society must adapt to the presence of deepfakes and find effective ways to manage their impact.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions.
Yoga is a healthy lifestyle. One of the benefits of yoga is that you can choose a yoga style that is
suitable for your lifestyle, such as hot yoga, power yoga, relaxation yoga, etc. If you are a yoga beginner,
Hatha Yoga, which focuses on basic postures at a comfortable pace, would be great for you. If you want to
increase strength through using more of your own body’s resistance, Power Yoga may be right for you.
Whether you prefer you're at home, in a private session, watching a DVD or at a studio or gym, there are a
huge variety of options available to suit your goals and needs.
Improved flexibility is one of the first and most obvious benefits of yoga. During your first class, you
probably won’t be able to touch your toes. But if you stick with it, you’ll notice a gradual loosening, and
eventually, seemingly impossible poses will become possible. Each of the yoga poses is built to reinforce the
muscles around the spine, the very center of your body, which is the core from which everything else
operates.
When the core is working properly, posture is improved, thus alleviating back, shoulder, and neck pain.
Strong muscles do more than look good. They also protect us from conditions like arthritis and back pain, and
help prevent falls in elderly people. And when you build strength through yoga, you balance it with flexibility.
If you just went to the gym and lifted weights, you might build strength at the expense of flexibility.
Yoga gets your blood flowing. More specifically, the relaxation exercises you learn in yoga can help
your circulation, especially in your hands and feet. Yoga also gets more oxygen to your cells, which function
better as a result. Twisting poses are thought to wring out venous blood from internal organs and allow
oxygenated blood to flow in once the twist is released. Many studies found that a consistent yoga practice
improved depression and led to greater levels of happiness and better immune function.
23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the benefits of yoga?
A. increased flexibility B. improved blood circulation
C. better social skills D. enhanced immune function
24. The word “reinforce” in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ________.
A. weaken B. stretch C. soften D. tighten
25. The word “They” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. Conditions B. Strong muscles C. Elderly people D. Falls
26. The word “session” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by ________.
A. incident B. class C. meeting D. event
27. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. All yoga styles require an advanced level of fitness.
B. Yoga can help reduce shoulder and neck pain.
C. Flexibility is the only benefit of yoga.
D. Depression is unrelated to yoga practice.
28. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Twisting poses are harmful as they reduce blood flow to the organs.
B. Twisting poses only benefit blood flow when done in moderation.
C. Twisting poses block blood flow and cause tension in the organs.
D. Twisting poses may help remove old blood from organs and bring in fresh blood.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions.
Apologies have the power to heal and restore relationships, whether personal or professional. Admitting
mistakes and showing regret demonstrates humility and respect for the other person's feelings. Apologies are
not just about saying the right words-they show a willingness to take responsibility. This can rebuild trust,
mend relationships, and strengthen connections. Whether between friends, family, or colleagues, a genuine
apology helps to heal and move forward.
A true apology goes beyond words. It involves recognizing the harm caused, expressing sincere regret,
and, when needed, offering solutions or compensation. For example, if someone misses an important work
deadline, simply saying "sorry" might not be enough. Offering a plan to fix the mistake or prevent it from
happening again shows accountability and makes the apology more meaningful. Without these steps,
apologies may seem empty and fail to resolve the real issue.
In the workplace, apologies are essential for resolving conflicts. When a manager apologizes for an
error, it creates a sense of fairness and respect within the team. Employees who feel heard and appreciated are
more likely to trust their leaders and work better together. Apologies can turn mistakes into opportunities
to strengthen teamwork and improve workplace culture. They also encourage open communication,
helping employees feel safe to express concerns and fostering a healthier work environment.
Some people hesitate to apologize because they think it shows weakness. In reality, it takes courage to
admit mistakes and "swallow one's pride". Apologizing shows emotional maturity and sets an example for
others to take responsibility. In both personal and professional settings, a heartfelt apology can turn conflicts
into chances for growth and better understanding.
23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a result of apologizing?
A. Healing relationships B. Preventing future mistakes
C. Rebuilding trust D. Strengthening connections
24. The word "empty" in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to________.
A. meaningful B. incomplete C. smooth D. partial
25. The word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to_________.
A. an error B. a conflict C. fairness D. an apology
26. The word "fostering" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by_______.
A. managing B. encouraging C. adapting D. rejecting
27. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
A. Sincere apologies should focus on improving traditional culture and fixing mistakes rather than
building teamwork.
B. Mistakes, when followed by apologies, can improve teamwork and workplace culture.
C. Thoughtful apologies can reduce teamwork mistakes and help create a perfect workplace.
D. Workplace culture improves when there are fewer repeated mistakes to apologize for.
28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. A simple "sorry" is sufficient in workplace conflicts.
B. Apologizing shows both courage and emotional maturity.
C. Apologies benefit both personal and family relationships.
D. Offering solutions can make an apology less effective.

workplace?

As we move deeper into the 21st century, the landscape of work is undergoing a significant
transformation.
The traditional office setup, long considered the key element of professional environments, is facing a
serious challenge from remote work. This shift occurred due to several factors, most notably the global
COVID-19 pandemic, which forced many businesses to rapidly adapt to a remote working model. The

level of flexibility that was previously unimaginable. Without the need for long commutes, employees can
save valuable time and money, which can then be used for personal growth or leisure activities. This
flexibility also allows them to better balance their professional and personal lives, leading to improved mental
health and job satisfaction.
[I] Moreover, remote work offers significant cost-saving opportunities for businesses. [II] Companies
can reduce expenses by downsizing office space, cutting bills, and minimizing the need for physical
infrastructure. [III] For businesses with a global workforce, remote work eliminates geographical barriers,
enabling them to access talent pools from across the world. [IV]
However, despite these benefits, remote work is not without its challenges. One of the most cited
concerns is the lack of in-person interaction, which can lead to feelings of isolation among employees. In an
office setting, employees have the opportunity to engage in casual conversations, build stronger relationships
with colleagues, and collaborate more effectively. These social interactions play a crucial role in fostering
creativity and innovation, which are often harder to achieve in a remote work environment.
Additionally, some employers have raised concerns about productivity in a remote setting.
Without the physical presence of managers, it can be more difficult to monitor employee performance and
ensure that tasks are being completed on time. There is also the risk of employees being distracted by their
home environment, which may not always be conducive to focused work.

A. Businesses can significantly reduce costs and access global talent through remote work.
B. Companies save money while providing employees with better career opportunities.
C. Remote work ensures that companies no longer require physical infrastructure.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions.
Cultural diversity refers to the presence of multiple cultural groups and their practices within a society.
It encompasses various aspects such as language, traditions, beliefs, and values. Embracing cultural diversity
can lead to a more inclusive and harmonious society, where individuals appreciate and respect differences.
This diversity enriches communities by introducing new perspectives, fostering creativity, and promoting
mutual understanding.
One significant benefit of cultural diversity is the exchange of ideas and knowledge. When people from
different cultural backgrounds interact, they share their unique experiences and insights. This exchange can
lead to innovative solutions and improvements in various fields such as science, art, and business. Moreover,
cultural diversity can enhance social cohesion by encouraging people to work together and learn from one
another.
Education plays a crucial role in promoting cultural diversity. Schools and universities can create
inclusive environments by incorporating diverse perspectives into their curricula and encouraging students to
engage with different cultures. By doing so, educational institutions help students develop a global
mindset and prepare them for a multicultural world. Additionally, exposure to diverse cultures at a young
age can reduce prejudices and promote tolerance.
In the workplace, cultural diversity can boost productivity and creativity. Diverse teams bring together
individuals with different skills, viewpoints, and problem-solving approaches. This variety can enhance
decision-making processes and lead to more effective and innovative solutions. Companies that prioritize
cultural diversity also tend to have a more positive work environment and higher employee satisfaction.
Despite its benefits, cultural diversity also presents challenges. Misunderstandings and conflicts can
arise when people from different cultural backgrounds interact. To address these challenges, it is essential to
promote open communication and cultural competence. By fostering an inclusive culture, societies and
organizations can maximize the benefits of cultural diversity while minimizing potential conflicts.

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions.
Nibha Kumari, a resident of Bihar, India's poorest state, recalls how a bicycle transformed her life when
she turned 15. For two years, six days a week, she cycled two hours daily from home to school and coaching
classes and back, using a bicycle provided by the state government. "If I didn't have a cycle, I don't think I
could have finished high school. It changed my life," says Nibha, now 27.
A new peer-reviewed study published in Journal of Transport Geography reveals remarkable insights
about school-going children and cycling in rural India. The study by Srishti Agrawal, Adit Seth and Rahul
Goel found that the most notable rise in cycling in India had occurred among rural girls increasing more than
two times from 4.5% in 2007 to 11% in 2017-reducing the gender gap in the activity. "This is a silent
revolution. We call it a revolution because cycling levels increased among girls in a country which has high
levels of gender inequality in terms of female mobility outside the home, in general, and for cycling, in
particular," says Ms. Agrawal.
[I] State-run free bicycle distribution schemes since 2004 have targeted girls, who had higher school
dropout rates than boys due to household chores and exhausting long walks [II] This approach isn't unique to
India evidence from countries like Colombia, Kenya, Malawi and Zimbabwe also shows that bicycles
effectively boost girls' school enrolment and retention. [III] Cycling to school in rural areas doubled over the
decade, while in urban areas, it remained steady. Indian city roads are notoriously unsafe, with low urban
cycling to school linked to poor traffic safety and more cars on the road. [IV]
American suffragist Susan B Anthony famously said that the bicycle "has done more to emancipate
women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self reliance. Researchers
wonder if women cycle less as they age due to shrinking job opportunities and workforce dropout.
Nibha stopped cycling after marriage and moving to her in-laws' home. While she still travels outside the
house as she trains to become a teacher, when asked about her commute, she simply says, "I don't need the
cycle anymore.".
31. The word It in paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A. high school B. a cycle C. state government D. life
32. The word reveals in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. discloses B. assesses C. opposes D. controls
33. According to paragraph 2, a sharp rise in cycling rates among schoolgirls in India indicates that _______.
A. a revolution in cycling is about to happen
B. gender inequality is a pressing issue in India
C. the gender gap in cycling has been narrowed
D. female mobility is limited in certain ways
34. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?
A. A study shows rural girls' cycling in India doubled, reducing the gender gap in mobility
B. A study demonstrates how cycling has transformed the way Indian girls go to school
C. A study illustrates that cycling in India rose despite high levels of gender inequality
D. A study clarifies the positive effects of cycling on both boys and girls in India
35. Where in paragraph 3 does the following sentence best fit?
But the scale here is unmatched.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]

B. Nibha's success is partly attributed to a bicycle provided by the government.
C. Indian girls had higher school dropouts rates than boys as they didn't have a cycle.
D. The free bicycle distribution schemes have specifically targeted girls since 2004.
37. The word emancipate in paragraph 4 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______.
A. restrict B. reduce C. free D. object
38 Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Researchers doubt if women cycle more with age due to gaining more career opportunities and
rejoining the workforce.
B. Researchers believe women stop cycling more as they age because their job options reduce.
C. Researchers speculate whether fewer job prospects and workforce exit cause women to cycle less over
time.
D. Researchers assume that as women age, declining job opportunities lead to less cycling.
39. It can be inferred from the passage that
A. there is not much difference in cycling rates between rural and urban areas in India
B. a growth in car ownership in India is entirely to blame for low urban cycling
C. shifts in life priorities influence the continuation of cycling among women in India
D. cycling is not a preferred option for Indian women when they reach marriage age
40. Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. State-run bicycle schemes in rural India helped boost school retention for girls, although the lack of
significant infrastructure improvements continues to challenge the effectiveness of the program in increasing
cycling
B. Bicycle distribution in rural India, aimed at both boys and girls, significantly improved school
attendance, but challenges like inadequate infrastructure and long commutes hindered long-term effectiveness,
especially for girls.
C. The distribution of bicycles in rural India primarily benefited girls, dramatically reducing dropout rates
and doubling their cycling participation, yet these efforts had little effect on boys' school retention.
D. Indian rural girls benefited the most from government bicycle schemes, with cycling rates increasing,
leading to higher school retention, though life circumstances can limit the broader adoption of cycling for
women.
