I was an MBA student in the USA and I lived in the university’s coed dormitory. In my culture, usually, if a woman talks to a man, it is a sign of romantic interest.

I was quite relieved to hear that (37)____ was wrong with me, but rather with the way I was interpreting my conversations with    women.

Read the following passage about food addiction 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 31 to 40.

Few people would disagree that one of the world's most popular dishes is pizza. Twenty-two-year-old Zack certainly wouldn't. He would eat a variety of pizza-based items, including homemade pizza, precooked microwave pizza, and even pizza leftovers from the night before. He was consuming 800kg of pizza a year. As a child, Zack had eaten a wide variety of food. But he became addicted to pizza when he started secondary school. American school meals have often been criticised for the large amount of fast food present on the menu, and pizza is the star dish. Zack even spent all his pocket money on slices of pizza.

Naturally, Zack's family worried about his high-calorie, low-vitamin diet. So did Zack. In an attempt to break his addiction, Zack agreed to appear on a TV programme called Freaky Eaters. Its aim was to encourage food addicts to beat their addictions with the help of a psychologist and nutritionist. It wasn't easy. He had to eat a fish dish, while his brother sat in front of him enjoying... a pizza! However, Zack met the challenge and has never eaten pizza again.

Seventeen-year-old Stacy Irvine's friends visit her and discover that she has been rewarded thousands of free toys from fast food restaurants as a regular customer. Stacy's mother often gave her two-year-old girl a portion of fried chicken in a McDonald's restaurant. [I] Since then, Stacy has refused to eat anything else except for pieces of fried chicken, and as a result, her diet has created serious health. She has been warned that if she doesn't change her diet, she will die. [II] Stacy once collapsed due to lack of vitamins and nutrients and needed to be hospitalised. [III] She insisted that Stacy adopt a healthier lifestyle. However, worryingly, Stacy's mother said that while Stacy was beginning to understand the seriousness of her situation, she couldn't eat anything else but chicken nuggets. [IV]

Twenty-year-old Hanna Little was keen on chips. The only thing that Hanna consumed for fifteen years was one plate of chips after another. Not surprisingly, a diet that contained few nutrients and an excess of fat and carbohydrates could only have negative consequences. And it did because not only did Hanna develop health problems, but she also had to leave her job after collapsing at work. At five, Hanna became addicted to chips and refused to eat fruits and vegetables despite her mother's efforts. Hanna says that she was terrified of tasting the flavour of different types of food and she would feel anxious just at the idea of doing it. Parties, picnics and barbecues with friends and family used to be a nightmare. Furthermore, Hanna was soon seen as 'odd' by her friends' parents.

It wasn't until the age of sixteen that Hanna realised she had Selective Eating Disorder (SED). Despite this new knowledge, no solution was found. It wasn't until she lost her job before she started eating normally. Hanna sought therapy from psychologist Felix Economakis, who used hypnosis, a treatment that none of the doctors that she had seen before had mentioned, to get her to eat fruit after one one-hour session, and since then she has been willing to eat anything.... including chips!

Read the following passage about Wildlife Conservation in Africa 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 31 to 40.

Wildlife conservation in Africa is vital for preserving biodiversity and ensuring the survival of iconic species such as elephants, lions, and rhinos. [I] The continent is home to some of the world’s most diverse ecosystems, including savannahs, rainforests, and deserts. [II] Conservation efforts involve strategies like protecting habitats, combating poaching, and raising awareness about the importance of wildlife. [III] Despite challenges, success stories demonstrate the positive impact of these efforts. [IV]

One notable example comes from Kenya, where anti-poaching initiatives and community engagement have helped stabilize elephant populations in Amboseli National Park. Similarly, in South Africa, rhino conservation programs use advanced technologies like drones and GPS tracking to monitor and protect vulnerable animals. These efforts not only safeguard wildlife but also promote eco-tourism, which supports local economies.

However, wildlife conservation in Africa faces persistent threats. Habitat loss due to agricultural expansion and urbanization continues to endanger species. Climate change exacerbates these challenges, altering migration patterns and threatening ecosystems. Furthermore, poaching and the illegal wildlife trade remain significant concerns, driven by global demand for products such as ivory and rhino horn.

To overcome these challenges, conservationists emphasize the need for international collaboration and local community involvement. Initiatives like eco-tourism provide financial incentives for communities to protect wildlife. Governments, NGOs, and individuals must work together to ensure the survival of Africa’s unique species for future generations.

Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

"Initiatives like eco-tourism provide financial incentives for communities to protect wildlife.”

Read the following passage about The Longitude Prize and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions

     On a stormy night in 1707, four ships struck rocks off the south coast of England and sank. [I] One thousand, four hundred sailors were drowned. [II] The ships had crashed because they had no way of knowing how far they had travelled in a particular direction; they could not calculate their longitude, which required accurate time measurement. [III] In such difficult circumstances, they believed that the best response to the disaster was a competition: the Longitude Prize. [IV]

     The Longitude Prize was no ordinary competition. To win it, someone had to find a way of calculating how far a ship had travelled east or west from its point of departure. Geniuses such as Sir Isaac Newton had failed to find a solution, so to ensure the interest of Britain’s greatest scientific minds, the government offered a prize of £20,000 — the equivalent of £2.6 million in today’s money. But to everyone’s surprise, it wasn’t a famous academic who solved the problem, but an unknown carpenter.

     When John Harrison wasn’t working with wood, he was making clocks. An accurate clock would allow sailors to calculate their position, but at the time it was thought impossible to create a mechanical clock that could work on a ship. The movement of the sea and the changes in temperature destroyed the delicate parts. However, after three frustrated attempts, Harrison’s fourth sea clock, H4, finally triumphed. Its mechanics were so good that the H4 worked better than most clocks on land.

   The Longitude Prize and Harrison’s success generated a lot of interest in the 18th century, but it was soon forgotten. However, in 2013, the British government created a new Longitude Prize, offering £10 million to the person who could solve a great challenge to humanity. An enthralled public then took part in a TV programme where viewers chose one challenge from a list of six for scientists to focus on. The question now is, will someone be able to solve it just as well as Harrison solved the challenge presented to him?

The phrase "ensure the interest" in paragraph 2 could be best replaced by ____.

Trong công nghiệp chlorine-kiềm, dung dịch sodium chloride (NaCl) bão hoà có nồng độ khoảng 300 g L⁻¹ chỉ được điện phân một phần thành “nước muối nghèo” có nồng độ 220 g L⁻¹. “Nước muối nghèo” sau đó được dẫn ra khỏi bề điện phân, trong khi nước muối bão hoà mới được bơm vào. Việc làm này giúp hạn chế sự tạo thành các sản phẩm không mong muốn của quá trình điện phân. Trong khi đó, dung dịch NaOH (xút) thu được tại cathode có nồng độ khoảng 32% được chuyển sang thiết bị cô đặc để sản xuất xút có nồng độ mong muốn, ví dụ xút 45%, xút 50%. Giả sử xút không bị thất thoát trong quá trình cô đặc, thể tích dung dịch NaCl thay đổi không đáng kể trong quá trình điện phân. Để sản xuất được một thùng 20 lít xút 50% thương phẩm có khối lượng riêng là 1,52 g mL⁻¹, cần điện phân x lít dung dịch NaCl bão hoà.

Tính giá trị của x (làm tròn đến một chữ số thập phân).
