Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

Life expectancy is the period of time that a person can expect to live. Life expectancy varies greatly between genders and cultures. It used to be that women had a lower life expectancy than men (1 in every 4 women died in childbirth), but now they live an average of four to five years longer than men. Life expectancy has been increasing rapidly over the last centuries. With the advent of such modern miracles as sewers, medicine and a greater understanding of how diseases are spread, our life expectancy has increased by 25-30 years.

In developing countries like Swaziland, where there is a high HIV/ AIDS rate, life expectancy is as low as 32.6 years. In developed countries like Australia, life expectancy rates are as high as 81 years. There are an increasing number of factors which can cancel out the disadvantages you have. The one that we are looking at now is how your career can affect your life expectancy. Choosing the wrong career can result in a shorter life!

If you want your career to positively influence your life expectancy, you have to be made of money. That's right. Rich people in wealthy areas of England and France live 10 years longer than the people in poorer areas. Having a successful career has its drawbacks, too if the result of hard work is stress.

Stress can lead to a number of psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, fatigue, tension and aggression. These conditions may result in a lack of concentration and an increase in serious injuries at work. They can also lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks which seriously affect life expectancy.

If you are worried that your job might decrease your life expectancy, you probably need to avoid careers on "dangerous jobs" list such as timber cutters, pilots, construction workers, roofer, truck drivers.

So if you don't want to kick the bucket at an early age, choose a career in something other than timber cutting, but above all, remember to relax.

Đáp án D

Dịch nghĩa: Ý chính của đoạn 1 là gì?

A. Áp lực ảnh hưởng tiêu cực đến tuổi thọ.

B. Áp lực dẫn đến tuổi thọ thấp.

C. Chọn công việc sai có thể dẫn đến cuộc đời ngắn hơn.

D. Tuổi thọ đã tăng mạnh trong vòng vài thế kỉ trước

Giải thích: Các phương án A, B, C là thông tin ở các đoạn sau.

Bài dịch

Tuổi thọ trung bình là khoảng thời gian mà một người có thể sống. Tuổi thọ khác nhau rất nhiều giữa các giới tính và giữa các nền văn hóa. Trước đây, phụ nữ có tuổi thọ thấp hơn so với nam giới (1 trong 4 phụ nữ chết trong khi sinh con), nhưng bây giờ họ sống trung hình 4-5 năm lâu hơn nam giới. Tuổi thọ trung bình đã tăng lên nhanh chóng trong nhiều thế kỷ vừa qua. Với sự ra đời của những phép lạ hiện đại như hệ thống cống rãnh, y học và việc hiểu rõ hơn về cách các bệnh đang lan rộng, tuổi thọ của chúng ta đã tăng 25-30 năm.

Ở các nước đang phát triển như Swaziland, nơi có tỷ lệ nhiễm HIV / AIDS cao, tuổi thọ trung bình là thấp, khoảng 32,6 năm. Ở các nước phát triển như Úc, tuổi thọ cao ở mức 81 năm. Ngày càng có nhiều các nhân tố đó có thể loại bỏ những nhược điểm mà bạn có. Một trong số mà chúng tôi đang quan tâm đến là sự nghiệp của bạn có thể ảnh hưởng đến tuổi thọ của bạn như thế nào. Chọn nghề sai lầm có thể dẫn đến cuộc sống ngắn hơn!

Nếu bạn muốn sự nghiệp của mình gây ảnh hưởng tích cực đến tuổi thọ của bạn, bạn phải kiếm được nhiều tiền. Đúng vậy. Người giàu ở các khu vực giàu có của nước Anh và Pháp sống lâu hơn so với những người ở các khu vực nghèo tầm 10 năm. Có một sự nghiệp thành công cũng có nhược điểm nếu kết quả của công việc khó khăn đó là căng thẳng và áp lực.

Căng thẳng có thể dẫn đến một số rối loạn tâm lý như trầm cảm, lo âu, mệt mỏi, căng thẳng và gây hấn. Những tình trạng này có thể dẫn đến sự thiếu tập trung và tăng thương tích nghiệm trọng tại nơi làm việc. Chúng cũng có thể dẫn đến áp lực và đau tim, huyết áp cao, ảnh hưởng nghiêm trọng đến tuổi thọ.

Nếu bạn đang lo lắng rằng công việc của bạn có thể làm giảm tuổi thọ của bạn, bạn cần phải tránh làm những “công việc nguy hiểm” như máy cắt gỗ, phi công, công nhân xây dựng, thợ lợp nhà, lái xe tải.

Vì vậy, nếu bạn không muốn chết sớm, hãy chọn một nghề nghiệp trong những lĩnh vực ngoài cắt gỗ, nhưng trên hết, đừng quên nghỉ ngơi thư giãn

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 36 to 42.
 
It is estimated that by 2050 more than two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities, up from about 54 percent today. While the many benefits of organized and efficient cities are well understood, we need to recognize that this rapid, often unplanned urbanization brings risks of profound social instability, risks to critical infrastructure, potential water crises and the potential for devastating spread of disease. These risks can only be further exacerbated as this unprecedented transition from rural to urban areas continues.
How effectively these risks can be addressed will increasingly be determined by how well cities are governed. The increased concentration of people, physical assets, infrastructure and economic activities mean that the risks materializing at the city level will have far greater potential to disrupt society than ever before.
Urbanization is by no means bad by itself. It brings important benefits for economic, cultural and societal development. Well managed cities are both efficient and effective, enabling economies of scale and network effects while reducing the impact on the climate of transportation. As such, an urban model can make economic activity more environmentally-friendly. Further, the proximity and diversity of people can spark innovation and create employment as exchanging ideas breeds new ideas.
But these utopian concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization. For example, one of the main factors is rural-urban migration, driven by the prospect of greater employment opportunities and the hope of a better life in cities. But rapidly increasing population density can create severe problems, especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to cope with the influx of new inhabitants. The result may, in extreme cases, be widespread poverty. Estimates suggest that 40% of the world's urban expansion is taking place in slums, exacerbating socio-economic disparities and creating unsanitary conditions that facilitate the spread of disease.
The Global Risks 2015 Report looks at four areas that face particularly daunting challenges in the face of rapid and unplanned urbanization: infrastructure, health, climate change, and social instability. In each of these areas we find new risks that can best be managed or, in some cases, transferred through the mechanism of insurance.
Question 36: The word “that" in paragraph 4 refers to __________.
​A. urban expansion ​​B. socio-economic disparities
​C. disease  ​D. unsanitary conditions
Question 37:According to paragraph 3, what is one of the advantages of urbanization?
​A. It minimizes risks for economic, cultural and societal development.
​B. It makes water supply system both efficient and effective.  
​C. Weather and climate in the city will be much improved.
​D. People may come up with new ideas for innovation.
Question 38:Which statement is TRUE, according to the passage?
​A. Urbanization brings important benefits for development as well.
​B. 54% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050.
​C. Risks cannot be addressed effectively no matter how well cities are governed.
​D. Rapidly increasing population density can help solve poverty.
Question 39: The word "addressed" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________.
​A. aimed at ​B. dealt with ​C. added to ​D. agreed on
Question 40: What can be inferred from the passage?
​A. Poverty may be a foregone conclusion of unplanned urbanization.
​B. Diseases are caused by people migrating to cities.  
​C. Urbanization can solve the problem of environmental pollution in cities.

​A. The Risks of Rapid Urbanization in Developing Countries
