Many cities around the world are striving to become more sustainable in response to pressing
environmental challenges. Urban areas consume significant resources and produce large amounts of
waste, but cities (35) _______. Some cities have adopted policies to improve air quality, manage waste
efficiently, and create green spaces for citizens to enjoy. These initiatives not only enhance the local
quality of life but also mitigate the harmful effects of pollution and global warming. For example, Paris
has introduced more bicycle lanes to reduce car use, and Singapore has adopted an advanced waste-to-

answer to each of the following questions.
NOW EVERYONE IS CONNECTED, IS THIS THE DEATH OF CONVERSATION?
“As our meeting places fall silent, save for tapping on screens, it seems we have mistaken connection for
the real thing! ” _ Simon Jenkins
I first noticed it in a restaurant. The place was oddly quiet, and at one table a group sat with their
heads bowed, their eyes hooded and their hands in their laps. I then realised that every one, whatever their
age group, was gazing at a handheld phone or tablet. People strolled in the street outside likewise, with
arms at right angles, necks bent and heads in awkward postures. Mothers with babies were doing it.
Students in groups were doing it. The scene resembled something from an old science fiction film. There
was no conversation.
Every visit to California convinces me that the digital revolution is over, by which I mean it is
won. Everyone is connected. The New York Times last week declared the death of conversation. While
mobile phones may at last be falling victim to considerate behaviour, this is largely because even talk is
considered too intimate a contact. No such bar applies to emailing, texting, messaging, posting and
tweeting. It is ubiquitous, the ultimate connectivity, the brain wired full-time to infinity.
The MIT professor and psychologist Sherry Turkle claims that her students are close to mastering
the art of maintaining eye contact with a person while texting someone else. It is like an organist playing
different tunes with hands and feet. To Turkle, these people are ‘alone together … a tribe of one’. Anyone
with 3,000 Facebook friends has none.
The audience in many theatres now sit, row on row, with lit machines in their laps, looking to the
stage occasionally but mostly scrolling and tapping away. The same happens at meetings and lectures, in
coffee bars and on jogging tracks. Psychologists have identified this as ‘fear of conversation’, and have
come up with the term ‘conversational avoidance devices’ for headphones.
In consequence, there is now a booming demand for online ‘conversation’ with robots and artificial
voices. Mobiles come loaded with customized ‘boyfriends’ or ‘girlfriends’. People sign up with computerised
dating advisors, even claim to fall in love with their on-board GPS guides. A robot seal can be picked up in
online stores to sit and listen to elderly individuals talk, tilting its head and blinking in sympathy.
In his Conversation: A History of a Declining Art, Stephen Miller notes that public discourse is
now dominated by ill-tempered disagreement, by ‘intersecting monologues’. Anger and lack of restraint
are treated as assets in public debate, in place of a willingness to listen and adjust one’s point of view.
Politics thus becomes a platform of rival angers. American politicians are ever more polarised, reduced to
conveying a genuine hatred for each other.
All that said, the death of conversation has been announced as often as that of the book. As far
back as the 18th century, the literary figure Samuel Johnson worried that the decline of political
conversation would lead to violent civil disorder. Writing 70 years ago, George Orwell concluded that
‘the trend of the age was away from creative communal amusements and toward solitary mechanical
ones’. Somehow we have muddled through.
The ‘post-digital’ phenomenon, the craving for live experience, is showing a remarkable vigour.
The US is a place of ever greater congregation and migration, to parks, beaches and restaurants, to
concerts, rock festivals, ball games. Common interest groups, springing up across the country, desperately
seek escape from the digital dictatorship, using Facebook and Twitter not as destinations but as route
maps to meet up with real people.
Somewhere in this cultural mix, I am convinced the desire for friendship will preserve the
qualities essential for a civilised life, qualities of politeness, listening and courtesy. Those obsessed with
fashionable connectivity and personal avoidance are not escaping reality. They may be unaware of it but
deep down they, too, still want someone to talk to.
Question 40: The writer believes the main reason for the decreasing use of mobile phones is ______.
Trang 4/11 - Mã đề thi 861
 A. the realisation that it is bad manners to use them in public places
B. an overall reduction in the use of electronic devices for communication
C. the fact that people are increasingly reluctant to speak to one another
D. a general feeling that they are rapidly becoming obsolete technology
Question 41: According to Sherry Turkle, certain people nowadays are ______.
A. incapable of forming true friendships except through social media
B. electronically connected but isolated from genuine human interaction
C. more skillful at communicating with others via music than in words
D. determined to return to a more traditional form of social structure
Question 42: The word ‘their’ in the fourth paragraph refers to ______.
A. coffee bars B. the audience C. lit machines D. theaters
Question 43: The writer uses the example of the ‘seal’ in the fifth paragraph to show ______.
A. how far the technology of artificial intelligence has progressed
B. that electronic companions are regarded as non-threatening
C. how robots can help those unable to find a romantic partner
D. the negative impact of internet search engines on conversation
Question 44: What point is made in the sixth paragraph about the current nature of public discussion?
A. Fewer people dare to contradict the opinions of other speakers.
B. Speakers are expected to behave aggressively towards each other.
C. Political parties are becoming increasingly extreme in their views.
D. The behaviour of public figures reflects lower standards in society.
Question 45: The writer mentions ‘the book’ in the seventh paragraph as ______.
A. an example of something else that people wrongly predicted would disappear
B. the basis of the theory that people would soon stop talking to each other
C. a way of introducing the works of famous writers from earlier centuries
D. the source of information about the current state of political debate in the USA
Question 46: The word ‘vigour’ in the eighth paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. constitution B. disruption C. rebellion D. enthusiasm
Question 47: What point does the writer make in the final paragraph?
A. Some traditional human values are eventually bound to disappear.
B. Nobody can escape the negative effects of the digital revolution.
C. Everybody needs human contact whether they realise it or not.
D. Only those who remain polite and courteous will have friends.

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 31 to 40.
[I] The nature of work has undergone a significant transformation in recent years due to advancements in
technology, particularly digital innovation. [II] Many traditional jobs are becoming obsolete, making way
for new roles in the digital economy, from data analysts to cybersecurity experts. [III] The idiom “the
writing on the wall” reflects that these changes are inevitable and that workers must adapt if they wish to
stay relevant in an increasingly technology-driven world. The adoption of automation and artificial
intelligence across various sectors has redefined the skill sets required, challenging workers to
continuously develop new competencies for job security in a rapidly evolving market. [IV]

One major shift is the rise of remote work, which gained momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic and
has remained popular due to the flexibility it provides. This mode of work allows employees to manage
their time more effectively, potentially improving work-life balance and even boosting productivity.
However, it also presents challenges, such as feelings of isolation, the blurring of boundaries between
work and personal life, and time-management difficulties. Additionally, remote work requires an
adjustment in communication and collaboration techniques, as digital platforms replace in-person
interactions. Organizations must find ways to address these issues to ensure remote work remains
sustainable and beneficial for employees.

Another significant development is the rising demand for digital skills across a broad range of industries.
Employers increasingly seek candidates skilled in areas like data analysis, digital marketing, and
Trang 5/11 - Mã đề thi 861
cybersecurity. This underscores the importance of continuous learning and upskilling, as workers strive to
thrive in an evolving job landscape. Education systems and training programs must adapt quickly to
provide future employees with the competencies needed to succeed in modern industries. This shift also
highlights the role of online learning platforms, which offer courses and certifications to help workers
adapt to new industry demands.

In summary, the digital age is reshaping the workforce, necessitating that both individuals and
organizations rethink their approaches to work. By embracing change and prioritizing skill development,
society can harness the benefits of technological advancements while helping workers transition into this
new digital era without being left behind.

Question 53. The word “competencies” in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______.
A. weaknesses
B. knowledge
C. skills
D. strengths
Question 54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Automation will eliminate the need for human workers entirely, leading to a future job market
dominated by machines, with little or no opportunities for people.
B. Education systems are fully prepared to meet the demands of the digital economy, with curricula
already well-equipped to teach students the skills necessary for the modern workplace.
C. Digital skills are increasingly important for job seekers in various fields, as industries rely more on
technology and seek candidates with relevant expertise to drive innovation.
D. Remote work has only negative effects on employees and organizations, such as isolation and lack
of structure, with no real benefits for workers or companies in the long term.
Question 55. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Embracing change and building skills ensures workers thrive in the digital age.
B. Rejecting change and avoiding skill development will help workers in the digital era.

work as the ideal way to achieve work-life balance, avoiding any drawbacks.
C. Traditional jobs will regain popularity as technology evolves, with workers and industries reverting
to familiar roles and approaches, despite recent advancements.

D. The digital revolution is fundamentally changing the nature of work, requiring adaptation, skill
development, and a reevaluation of work practices for both individuals and organizations to succeed.

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 58 to 62.
Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or course
tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they work out
which one is the best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take action if
something goes wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth. This
means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend the
reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealise the idea of treating everyone
equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first names. This
concern with equality means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are
even ready to joke about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a consequence,
some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study. Australian notions
of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and relationships are only discussed with
close friends. While people may volunteer such information, they may resent someone actually asking
them unless the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to ask someone
what they earn.
Question 58: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. A story about Australia B. Australian culture shock
C. Things to do in Australia D. Australian culture
Question 59: The word "them" in paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A. circumstances B. Australians C. options D. students
Question 60: In paragraph 3, most adult Australians call each other by their first names because _______.
A. Australians are difficult to remember people's surnames
B. Australians restrict class discrimination
C. Australians get on well with each other
D. Calling each other by their first names makes them friendlier
Question 61: The word "critical” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. faultfinding B. grateful C. complimentary D. appreciative
Question 62: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
Trang 7/11 - Mã đề thi 861
 A. Asking someone what they earn is considered fairly polite.
B. Australians are prepared to accept a range of opinions.
C. Students in Australia will be expected to form their own opinions.
D. A teacher or course tutor will not tell students what to do.
