correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 24 to 30.
Vietnam is a densely-populated, developing country that in the last 30 years has had to recover
from the ravages of war. Substantial progress was achieved from1986 to 1997 in moving forward from
an extremely low level of development and significantly reducing poverty. Since 2001, Vietnamese
authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to economic liberalization and international integration.
They have moved to implement the structural reforms needed to modernize the economy and to
produce more competitive, export-driven industries.
Vietnam's membership in the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) and entry into force of the US-Vietnam
Bilateral Trade Agreement in December 2001 have led to even more rapid changes in Vietnam's trade and
economic regime. Vietnam's exports to the US doubled in 2002 and again in 2003.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 37.
There are around 7,000 languages in the world today. However, most people speak the largest
languages: Chinese, Spanish, English, Hindi, Russian, Arabic, and others. So what about the smaller
languages? According to the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger, around one-third of the
world's languages now have fewer than 1,000 speakers. We may soon lose those languages completely.
In fact, 230 languages became extinct between 1950 and 2010.
Unfortunately, when we lose a language, we also lose its culture and knowledge. That's because
people in different places have different ways of living and thinking. One example of this is the Tuvan
language of southern Siberia. Tuvan people depend on animals for food and other basic needs. Their
language shows this close connection between people and animals. The Tuvan word ezenggileer, for
example, means "to sing with the rhythms of riding a horse." And the word ak byzaa is "a white calf less
than one-year-old."
In some places, people are working to save traditional languages. Many schools in New Zealand
now teach the Maori language. This helps connect native New Zealanders to their Maori culture. And
Welsh is spoken by around 500,000 people in Wales. The Welsh government is working to increase that
number to one million by 2050.
Technology offers a possible alternative to saving endangered languages. National Geographic's
Enduring Voices project has created "Talking Dictionaries" the recorded voices of people communicating
with each other. All of them are fluent speakers of endangered languages. And because these
dictionaries are accessible to anyone on the Internet, people now and in the future can learn some of
the vocabulary, greetings, and grammar rules of past languages.
(Adapted from Explore New Worlds)
