option that fits best each of the numbered blanks from 38 to 42.
In today's hyperconnected society, the constant presence of smartphones, laptops, and social media
platforms has blurred the line between work and leisure. Notifications appear at all hours, (38)
___________, and endless scrolling quietly consumes time that might otherwise be devoted to rest or
reflection. A digital detox—the deliberate break from screens and online interactions—has therefore become
more than a passing trend. It is increasingly viewed as a response to digital fatigue, a phenomenon marked
by anxiety, distraction, and reduced concentration.
Moreover, the benefits of such a detox can be surprisingly tangible. Individuals often report
improved sleep, stronger focus, (39) ___________. Families, too, notice changes: conversations become
livelier, meals last longer, and shared activities regain importance. (40) ___________. Yet challenges remain.
Because technology is woven into education, employment, and entertainment, many find it difficult to
disconnect fully, and some fear that missing updates could cost them social connections or jobs.
Nevertheless, short digital breaks, though modest, can offer remarkable relief. Weekend retreats in
nature, where phones are left behind, remind people of slower rhythms. Workplaces, by introducing “noemail evenings” and regulations (41) ___________, encourage healthier boundaries. Even small choices—
silencing notifications, setting screen-time limits, or designating phone-free hours—help reclaim attention. A
digital detox, once dismissed as impractical, is now being reconsidered as a vital practice, a safeguard
against overload and a path towards mindful living. Ultimately, it shows that (42) ___________.

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 43 to 50.
In an era defined by intensifying climatic volatility, the escalating frequency and severity of flood
events represent a formidable challenge to global economic stability and poverty reduction efforts. The
World Bank frequently emphasizes that while high-income nations possess the requisite fiscal buffers and
sophisticated infrastructure to absorb and recover from acute disasters, developing and low-income countries
bear a disproportionately heavy burden. Beyond the immediate, visible costs of damaged infrastructure and
agricultural output, floods impose enduring macroeconomic consequences, including disruptive supply chain
externalities, inflationary pressures on essential goods, and significant diversions of sovereign capital from
critical public investment, such as education and healthcare, towards emergency recovery and reconstruction
7
Bộ đề thi HSG Tiếng Anh 12 Các Tỉnh Thành Phố giải chi tiết liên hệ Zalo O988166193 để mua ạ
initiatives. Addressing this vulnerability is not merely a humanitarian concern but an essential
component of sustainable development policy.
The core challenge for developing economies lies in the nexus between rapid, often unplanned,
urbanization and inadequate protective infrastructure. Coastal cities and burgeoning urban centers situated in
floodplains face exposure risks that are compounded by population density and structural deficiencies in
drainage systems. From a developmental perspective, these events trigger regressive economic impacts, as
the poorest and most marginalized communities, lacking both insurance coverage and robust housing, suffer
the greatest loss of assets and livelihoods. Consequently, frequent flooding can precipitate a cycle of
indebtedness and poverty, undermining decades of developmental progress and jeopardizing the achievement
of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to poverty eradication and climate action. This
necessitates a strategic shift from reactive post-disaster response to proactive risk management and
mitigation.
Effective flood resilience, therefore, must be structurally integrated into national development
planning. This paradigm shift demands substantial upfront investment in “gray” infrastructure, such as
improved river defenses and modern drainage networks, complemented by “green” solutions, including the
restoration of natural floodplains, mangroves, and wetlands. The World Bank advocates for strengthening
institutional capacity, and it does so through promoting advanced early warning systems and comprehensive
land-use regulation to discourage construction in high-risk zones. Crucially, leveraging digital technology for
real-time flood mapping and risk modeling can optimize the allocation of limited resources, ensuring that
capital spending is geographically targeted for maximum protective impact and cost-effectiveness. This is,
therefore, essential for successful mitigation efforts.
Ultimately, building resilience against catastrophic flooding is an economic imperative that yields
high returns. By investing strategically in mitigation and adaptive infrastructure, nations can safeguard their
physical capital, protect human capital, and secure long-term fiscal stability. For the World Bank, fostering
this resilience involves facilitating access to innovative financial instruments, such as disaster risk insurance
and catastrophe bonds, to transfer risk away from national budgets. Such comprehensive, risk-informed
development policies are vital not only to minimize future devastation but to ensure that economic growth
remains resilient, inclusive, and sustainable in the face of an ever-changing climate.
Adapted from the report of GFDRR, World Bank
Question 43: The word precipitate in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to:
A. spark off
B. result from
C. catch up on
D. hinge on
Question 44: Which of the following macroeconomic consequences of flooding is NOT explicitly mentioned
in the passage?
8
A. Supply chain disturbances extending beyond the immediate disaster zone.

B. The diversion of public funds from sectors like education and healthcare.
C. Widespread capital flight and severe currency devaluation.
D. Sustained increases in the general price level of consumer goods.
Question 45: The word resilience in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.

B. flexibility
C. buoyancy
D. defeatism
Question 46: The pronoun “This” in the last sentence of paragraph 3 refers to ___________.

Question 47: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 1?
“Addressing this vulnerability is not merely a humanitarian concern but an essential component of
sustainable development policy.”
A. Alleviating flood susceptibility is a key factor in the enduring development strategy beyond
immediate relief efforts.
B. Reducing flood susceptibility is a minor policy requirement for achieving durable development
apart from humanitarian relief attempts.
C. Mitigating flood vulnerability is a peripheral policy requirement for achieving durable
development, extending beyond urgent relief efforts.
D. The fiscal priority of mitigating flood risk inevitably eclipses the need for addressing humanitarian
aid requirements.
Question 48: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The intricacy of flood menace requires amalgamating structural “gray” with ecological “green”
infrastructure solutions.
B. The underprivileged communities are better protected from flood impacts because they are often
located outside high-risk urban floodplains.
C. High-income nations principally hinge on international financial instruments, like catastrophe
bonds, for disaster recovery.
D. The complexity of flood risk necessitates separating structural “gray” from ecological “green”
infrastructure solutions.

The More Time, The Less Responsibility
After a long time (51) ___________ himself into public administrations, Cyril Northcote Parkinson,
a British historian and book author, concluded that as an administration expanded, it would become awfully
(52) ___________. Given the stable bureaucratic personnel (53) ___________ by 5–7% annually, “the
amount of work needed done remained the same”.
From his practical observations and personal experience, Parkinson published the so-called
Parkinson's law, which (54) ___________ the very asymmetry between job performance and input resources
(personnel, time, and fundings), on a The Economist (55) ___________ article for its completion.
(56) ___________ such a law has more to do with personnel management; especially on the structure
and scope of state administrative agencies; the very (57) ___________ between time and job performance
deduced from which also brought forward a matter of concern. Research indeed evidenced that every task
assigned with comfortable deadlines would stretch out which, compared to more (58) ___________ time
frames.
Worse still, they even asserted that once having expanded, preoccupying the deadlines, every task
would even hurt for more time to get done. A later experiment (1999), in which subjects were asked to skim
through four sets of images given a restricted time frame. Strikingly enough, once getting informed of
skipping the fourth, they, however, (59) ___________ more time fiddling with the third instead of getting it
done (60) ___________. In another experiment that got the participants to count characters in several
phrases, the findings was that assigning those with more time did hardly shape up the accuracy of
memorizing task, nor was it of any help in solving a sudden test afterwards.

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 61 to 70.
The pristine beaches of Koh Rong have long drawn tourists seeking an authentic glimpse of
Cambodia's coastal life, offering a blend of natural beauty and cultural familiarity that has traditionally
supported the island's economy. Yet beneath the surface of this seeming paradise, a complex dynamic
unfolds. Local businesses, who thrive on traditional tourism, now navigate the rising tide of voluntourism—
a phenomenon reshaped by demand for more meaningful experiences. [I]
In the narrow streets of the fishing village, “volunteer houses” have proliferated at an unprecedented
rate. These establishments, charging participants substantial fees for the privilege of teaching English or
conducting marine conservation work, generate revenue streams that bypass traditional community
structures. [II] Market vendors, whose daily income previously averaged $75, now report earnings below
$45 as volunteers, housed in all-inclusive compounds, rarely venture into local establishments. Local
restaurants have adapted by offering international menus, though many struggle to attract volunteer residents
who receive meals within their compounds.
The marine conservation sector particularly exemplifies this shifting landscape. Professional dive
operators previously employed 45 local guides, paying certification fees exceeding $2,000 per person.
Currently, they maintain only 15 positions as volunteer programs offer free diving services. These programs
contribute valuable reef monitoring data, collecting over 1,000 marine species records annually. [III] Local
dive masters, having invested years in certification and training, find their expertise commanding lower
wages—dropping from $60 to $35 per dive session in areas with high volunteer presence.
Cultural preservation initiatives face similar patterns. Traditional craft workshops, which once hosted
200 weekly visitors at $25 per session, now average 80 participants despite reducing fees to $15. While
volunteer programs record 300 weekly participants in craft activities, their standardized sessions run 30
minutes compared to traditional three-hour workshops. Master craftsmen, whose techniques typically require
two years to master, observe volunteers teaching simplified versions learned in two-week orientations.
[IV] The education sector presents perhaps the most nuanced picture. Local schools receiving
volunteer teachers report improved English test scores, rising 25% on average. However, student
performance fluctuates up to 40% with each teaching transition. Established language centers have reduced
staff from twenty to twelve instructors, as enrollment declined by 35% following the introduction of free
volunteer-taught classes. “We're seeing repeated adjustments in teaching methods,” notes headmaster Chan,
highlighting monthly changes in classroom approaches.
Local authorities aim to turn the tide through regulatory frameworks, requiring volunteer
organizations to demonstrate measurable community benefits. Economic data shows $2 million invested in
11
Bộ đề thi HSG Tiếng Anh 12 Các Tỉnh Thành Phố giải chi tiết liên hệ Zalo O988166193 để mua ạ
volunteer facilities in 2023, while traditional business revenue dropped 28%. Community surveys indicate
60% of local enterprises have modified their business models, with 45% reporting reduced profitability
despite these adaptations. Local leaders fear the shift may cause irretrievable damage to the traditional
economy and cultural practices on the island.
Question 61: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 1?
“Yet beneath the surface of this seeming paradise, a complex dynamic unfolds.”
A. Behind the picturesque surroundings develops an intricate web of cultural transitions.
B. Under the appealing destination lies a thorny shifting pattern affecting the local communities.
C. Beneath the welcoming atmosphere exists a deeper running divide between old and new systems.
D. Within the harmonious environment emerges a complicated dynamic of community structures
Question 62: Where in the passage does the following sentence best fit?
“This reformation of the economy has created ripples through the community's traditional income
channels.”
A. [II]
B. [I]
C. [IV]
D. [III]
Question 63: The word “their” in paragraph 3 refers to ___________.
A. volunteer programs
B. marine species
C. certification fees
D. local dive masters
Question 64: According to paragraph 3, which of the following is NOT mentioned regarding marine
conservation programs?
A. number of marine species recorded
B. diving service fees
C. tourist fulfillment levels
D. alterations in guide employment
Question 65: Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 4?
A. Rising volunteer participation has upset traditional teaching models.
B. Simplified craft sessions encroach upon both workshop income and skill preservation.
C. Workshop formats have evolved to match changing participant demands.
D. Craft volunteer activities promote both workshop revenue and cultural preservation.
Question 66: According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Professional dive opera

In today's hyperconnected society, the constant presence of smartphones, laptops, and social media
platforms has blurred the line between work and leisure. Notifications appear at all hours, (38)
___________, and endless scrolling quietly consumes time that might otherwise be devoted to rest or
reflection. A digital detox—the deliberate break from screens and online interactions—has therefore become
more than a passing trend. It is increasingly viewed as a response to digital fatigue, a phenomenon marked
by anxiety, distraction, and reduced concentration.
Moreover, the benefits of such a detox can be surprisingly tangible. Individuals often report
improved sleep, stronger focus, (39) ___________. Families, too, notice changes: conversations become
livelier, meals last longer, and shared activities regain importance. (40) ___________. Yet challenges remain.
Because technology is woven into education, employment, and entertainment, many find it difficult to
disconnect fully, and some fear that missing updates could cost them social connections or jobs.
Nevertheless, short digital breaks, though modest, can offer remarkable relief. Weekend retreats in
nature, where phones are left behind, remind people of slower rhythms. Workplaces, by introducing “noemail evenings” and regulations (41) ___________, encourage healthier boundaries. Even small choices—
silencing notifications, setting screen-time limits, or designating phone-free hours—help reclaim attention. A
digital detox, once dismissed as impractical, is now being reconsidered as a vital practice, a safeguard
against overload and a path towards mindful living. Ultimately, it shows that (42) ___________.

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 43 to 50.
In an era defined by intensifying climatic volatility, the escalating frequency and severity of flood
events represent a formidable challenge to global economic stability and poverty reduction efforts. The
World Bank frequently emphasizes that while high-income nations possess the requisite fiscal buffers and
sophisticated infrastructure to absorb and recover from acute disasters, developing and low-income countries
bear a disproportionately heavy burden. Beyond the immediate, visible costs of damaged infrastructure and
agricultural output, floods impose enduring macroeconomic consequences, including disruptive supply chain
externalities, inflationary pressures on essential goods, and significant diversions of sovereign capital from
critical public investment, such as education and healthcare, towards emergency recovery and reconstruction
7
Bộ đề thi HSG Tiếng Anh 12 Các Tỉnh Thành Phố giải chi tiết liên hệ Zalo O988166193 để mua ạ
initiatives. Addressing this vulnerability is not merely a humanitarian concern but an essential
component of sustainable development policy.
The core challenge for developing economies lies in the nexus between rapid, often unplanned,
urbanization and inadequate protective infrastructure. Coastal cities and burgeoning urban centers situated in
floodplains face exposure risks that are compounded by population density and structural deficiencies in
drainage systems. From a developmental perspective, these events trigger regressive economic impacts, as
the poorest and most marginalized communities, lacking both insurance coverage and robust housing, suffer
the greatest loss of assets and livelihoods. Consequently, frequent flooding can precipitate a cycle of
indebtedness and poverty, undermining decades of developmental progress and jeopardizing the achievement
of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to poverty eradication and climate action. This
necessitates a strategic shift from reactive post-disaster response to proactive risk management and
mitigation.
Effective flood resilience, therefore, must be structurally integrated into national development
planning. This paradigm shift demands substantial upfront investment in “gray” infrastructure, such as
improved river defenses and modern drainage networks, complemented by “green” solutions, including the
restoration of natural floodplains, mangroves, and wetlands. The World Bank advocates for strengthening
institutional capacity, and it does so through promoting advanced early warning systems and comprehensive
land-use regulation to discourage construction in high-risk zones. Crucially, leveraging digital technology for
real-time flood mapping and risk modeling can optimize the allocation of limited resources, ensuring that
capital spending is geographically targeted for maximum protective impact and cost-effectiveness. This is,
therefore, essential for successful mitigation efforts.
Ultimately, building resilience against catastrophic flooding is an economic imperative that yields
high returns. By investing strategically in mitigation and adaptive infrastructure, nations can safeguard their
physical capital, protect human capital, and secure long-term fiscal stability. For the World Bank, fostering
this resilience involves facilitating access to innovative financial instruments, such as disaster risk insurance
and catastrophe bonds, to transfer risk away from national budgets. Such comprehensive, risk-informed
development policies are vital not only to minimize future devastation but to ensure that economic growth
remains resilient, inclusive, and sustainable in the face of an ever-changing climate.

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 61 to 70.
The pristine beaches of Koh Rong have long drawn tourists seeking an authentic glimpse of
Cambodia's coastal life, offering a blend of natural beauty and cultural familiarity that has traditionally
supported the island's economy. Yet beneath the surface of this seeming paradise, a complex dynamic
unfolds. Local businesses, who thrive on traditional tourism, now navigate the rising tide of voluntourism—
a phenomenon reshaped by demand for more meaningful experiences. [I]
In the narrow streets of the fishing village, “volunteer houses” have proliferated at an unprecedented
rate. These establishments, charging participants substantial fees for the privilege of teaching English or
conducting marine conservation work, generate revenue streams that bypass traditional community
structures. [II] Market vendors, whose daily income previously averaged $75, now report earnings below
$45 as volunteers, housed in all-inclusive compounds, rarely venture into local establishments. Local
restaurants have adapted by offering international menus, though many struggle to attract volunteer residents
who receive meals within their compounds.
The marine conservation sector particularly exemplifies this shifting landscape. Professional dive
operators previously employed 45 local guides, paying certification fees exceeding $2,000 per person.
Currently, they maintain only 15 positions as volunteer programs offer free diving services. These programs
contribute valuable reef monitoring data, collecting over 1,000 marine species records annually. [III] Local
dive masters, having invested years in certification and training, find their expertise commanding lower
wages—dropping from $60 to $35 per dive session in areas with high volunteer presence.
Cultural preservation initiatives face similar patterns. Traditional craft workshops, which once hosted
200 weekly visitors at $25 per session, now average 80 participants despite reducing fees to $15. While
volunteer programs record 300 weekly participants in craft activities, their standardized sessions run 30
minutes compared to traditional three-hour workshops. Master craftsmen, whose techniques typically require
two years to master, observe volunteers teaching simplified versions learned in two-week orientations.
[IV] The education sector presents perhaps the most nuanced picture. Local schools receiving
volunteer teachers report improved English test scores, rising 25% on average. However, student
performance fluctuates up to 40% with each teaching transition. Established language centers have reduced
staff from twenty to twelve instructors, as enrollment declined by 35% following the introduction of free
volunteer-taught classes. “We're seeing repeated adjustments in teaching methods,” notes headmaster Chan,
highlighting monthly changes in classroom approaches.
Local authorities aim to turn the tide through regulatory frameworks, requiring volunteer
organizations to demonstrate measurable community benefits. Economic data shows $2 million invested in
11
Bộ đề thi HSG Tiếng Anh 12 Các Tỉnh Thành Phố giải chi tiết liên hệ Zalo O988166193 để mua ạ
volunteer facilities in 2023, while traditional business revenue dropped 28%. Community surveys indicate
60% of local enterprises have modified their business models, with 45% reporting reduced profitability
despite these adaptations. Local leaders fear the shift may cause irretrievable damage to the traditional
economy and cultural practices on the island.
Question 61: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 1?
“Yet beneath the surface of this seeming paradise, a complex dynamic unfolds.”
A. Behind the picturesque surroundings develops an intricate web of cultural transitions.
B. Under the appealing destination lies a thorny shifting pattern affecting the local communities.
C. Beneath the welcoming atmosphere exists a deeper running divide between old and new systems.
D. Within the harmonious environment emerges a complicated dynamic of community structures

“This reformation of the economy has created ripples through the community's traditional income
channels.”
A. [II]
B. [I]
C. [IV]
D. [III]
Question 63: The word “their” in paragraph 3 refers to ___________.

B. marine species
C. certification fees
D. local dive masters
Question 64: According to paragraph 3, which of the following is NOT mentioned regarding marine
conservation programs?
A. number of marine species recorded
B. diving service fees
C. tourist fulfillment levels
D. alterations in guide employment
Question 65: Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 4?
A. Rising volunteer participation has upset traditional teaching models.
B. Simplified craft sessions encroach upon both workshop income and skill preservation.
C. Workshop formats have evolved to match changing participant demands.
D. Craft volunteer activities promote both workshop revenue and cultural preservation.
