Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best 
answer to each of the following questions from 6 to 13.
Wildlife conservation is a crucial endeavor that aims to protect animal species and their habitats. This 
effort is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ensuring the health of our ecosystems. Human activities 
such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change are some of the primary threats to wildlife. 
Conservation initiatives strive to mitigate these impacts through various strategies.
One significant aspect of wildlife conservation is the establishment of protected areas. National parks, 
wildlife reserves, and marine protected areas are created to provide safe havens for endangered species. 
These areas not only protect wildlife but also offer opportunities for scientific research and eco-tourism, 
which can benefit local economies.
Another important approach is the reintroduction of species into their natural habitats. This method has 
been successful in bringing several species back from the brink of extinction. Conservationists carefully 
monitor and support these reintroduced populations to ensure their survival.
Education and awareness campaigns play a pivotal role in wildlife conservation as well. By educating the 
public about the importance of biodiversity and the threats facing wildlife, these campaigns foster a sense 
of responsibility and encourage community involvement in conservation efforts.
Technological advancements are also aiding conservation efforts. Innovations such as satellite tracking, 
DNA analysis, and drone surveillance help researchers gather critical data and monitor wildlife populations more effectively. These tools enable more informed decision-making and efficient 
conservation strategies.
Promoting sustainable practices, reducing human-wildlife conflicts, and enforcing antipoaching laws are 
also integral components of wildlife conservation. These measures contribute to creating a harmonious 
balance between human activities and the natural world.

b nên đứng đầu vì đây là câu mở đoạn, giới thiệu chung: trong 10 năm qua, Riverton đã thay đổi mạnh 
mẽ. 
d có cụm “This swift urbanization”, nên hợp lý khi nối ngay sau ý khái quát ở câu b. 
e nói tiếp về hệ quả của đô thị hóa nhanh: dân số tăng gần 30%, nhu cầu nhà ở tăng mạnh. 
c bổ sung biểu hiện cụ thể của sự thay đổi đó: các khu nhà cũ được thay bằng chung cư hiện đại. 
a khép đoạn bằng quan hệ tương phản với từ “Despite”: dù phát triển mạnh, giao thông công cộng vẫn 
chưa đáp ứng được. 
Vì vậy, trật tự hợp lý là b – d – e – c – a. 
Câu 2. Đáp án A
Đây là đoạn hội thoại giữa Mia và Alex.
d mở đầu tự nhiên nhất: Mia chào Alex và hỏi có háo hức không. 
e là câu trả lời trực tiếp của Alex: “Absolutely!”

b có từ “However”, diễn tả sau vài tuần thì bắt đầu thấy kết quả tích cực. 
e là câu kết, thể hiện cảm xúc và mong muốn lan tỏa hành động bảo vệ môi trường. 
Vậy thứ tự đúng là c – a – d – b – e. 
Câu 4. Đáp án A
Đoạn này nói về kỹ năng cần có ở nơi làm việc hiện đại.
d là câu chủ đề, giới thiệu chung. 
e triển khai ý thứ nhất với dấu hiệu “First”. b tiếp theo vì có cụm “In addition to this”. 
a sau đó vì có “Furthermore”. 
c cuối cùng vì mở bằng “Finally”. 
Nên trật tự đúng là d – e – b – a – c. 
Câu 5. Đáp án C
c mở đầu vì Lan giới thiệu mình đang tìm hiểu về Madam Nguyen Thi Binh. 
b Nam đáp lại bằng “That’s right”, rất tự nhiên sau câu c. 
a Lan nói thêm về những đóng góp khác ngoài ngoại giao. 
Vì thế đáp án đúng là c – b – a. 
Câu 6. Đáp án C
Đề hỏi: điều nào không được nhắc đến như một mối đe dọa đối với động vật hoang dã.
Trong đoạn văn, các mối đe dọa được nêu rõ là:
deforestation 
pollution 
climate change 
Không thấy nhắc đến urbanization. Vì vậy chọn C.

Câu 10. Đáp án A
Câu gạch chân nói rằng:
“Những đổi mới như theo dõi bằng vệ tinh, phân tích DNA và giám sát bằng drone giúp các nhà nghiên 
cứu thu thập dữ liệu quan trọng và theo dõi quần thể động vật hiệu quả hơn.” Ý chính của câu này là: công nghệ là một cách hỗ trợ công tác bảo tồn.
A diễn đạt đúng ý đó. 
B sai vì nói công nghệ cản trở bảo tồn. 
C sai vì tuyệt đối hóa: công nghệ là trọng tâm duy nhất. 
D sai vì nói không có lựa chọn nào khác ngoài công nghệ.
