Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 7 to 11.
The process of sorting through the various holidays on offer and determining which is the best for you is inevitably complex and individual personality traits will determine the eventual decision. Some people undertake a process of extensive problem solving, in which information is sought about a series of products, (7) . Other consumers with no patience to explore a variety of choices (8) , for the sake of their convenience rather than trying to guarantee that they buy the best possible product. This is known as limited problem solving.
Many consumers engage in routinised response behaviour, in which choices change relatively little over time. (9) . Also, some holidaymakers who have been content with a particular company or destination in the past may opt for the same experience again.
Finally, some consumers will buy on impulse. (10) . It is, in fact, a pattern of behaviour that is becoming increasingly prevalent – to the dismay of the operators, who then have less scope for forward planning and reduced opportunities to gain from investing deposits in the short term. (11) , where ‘distressed stock’ needs to be cleared at short notice and this can be stimulated by late availability offers particularly.

Read the 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 12 to 19.
The concept of project farming, where farmers come together to collaborate on large-scale agricultural projects, has gained significant traction, and modern technology keeps this collaboration on track. Advanced technologies such as GPS, sensors, drones, and data analytics are used to optimise agricultural practices. Additionally, the collected real-time data on soil conditions, weather patterns, and plant growth enables farmers to accelerate the decision-making process that maximises productivity while minimising resource wastage.
GPS technology allows farmers to precisely map out their fields and create customised planting plans. This ensures that seeds are sown at optimal locations based on soil characteristics and previous yield data. By avoiding areas with poor fertility, farmers can increase their overall crop yield. Camera traps provide advance warnings of insects, so farmers do not have to treat the whole field. This, therefore, helps curb chemical runoff and save money for every party involved in the project.
Technology also plays a vital role in optimising irrigation practices for sustainable agriculture. Specialised equipment reports dryness hour by hour, and weather apps forecast rain for the week ahead. Automated valves give each zone exactly the water it needs and pause when clouds are approaching. This cuts pumping costs and protects groundwater while keeping the crop healthy. On dry continents, such savings keep projects economically viable.
The digital trail does not stop at the farm gate. Cloud platforms let project farmers, processors, and truck drivers input harvest weights, storage temperatures, and delivery times the moment they change, while blockchain records freeze each entry so customers can trust it. Analytic tools combine seasons of records to forecast demand, spot price opportunities, and mark weak points in the workflow. This allows project farmers to anticipate market demand, exploit resource allocation, and plan for potential challenges.

Read the 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 20 to 29.
We seem to be entering a boom era for greenwashing – the tactic of covering routine pollution in eco-friendly language. [I] Picture running a high-emitting corporation: meaningful decarbonisation would demand painful negotiations, huge capital outlays, and a full redesign of the business model. Hiring an expert agency to splash “carbon-neutral” or “net-zero” across products is far easier, buying time while emissions remain untouched.
Consumers meet this sleight of hand everywhere. Airlines sell “carbon-neutral” flights, filling stations boast about “net-zero” fuel, and breakfast bacon is re-labelled as planet-safe. Advertising spin is old, yet today it is manipulated to conceal ongoing environmental damage. Social media influencers and glossy sustainability reports amplify these claims, broadcasting the narrative far beyond traditional marketing channels.
The term greenwashing emerged in the 1980s, an era of oil spills and growing climate science, but the practice has exploded only recently. [II] Intensifying public anxiety over global heating and ecosystem collapse has placed companies under sharp scrutiny; many boards therefore choose eye-catching PR over the tougher route of restructuring supply chains, energy sources, and product lines. Regulators on both sides of the Atlantic are struggling to police false eco-claims, yet enforcement still lags behind corporate ingenuity. Investors, eager to protect short-term returns, frequently applaud these surface-level initiatives, reinforcing the cycle. [III] No sector illustrates the issue better than oil and gas. Having realised that denying climate science now backfires, the industry has swapped denial for “green” paint. Press releases trumpet potential renewable ventures while drilling plans expand unabated.
Why does this matter? Greenwashing and climate denial share a core objective: to postpone the deep emission cuts claimed by scientists as urgent this decade. [IV] Whereas denial disputes the crisis, greenwashing misleads the public into believing problems are solved, thereby eroding consumer advocacy of genuine environmental actions and stalling regulatory reforms. In effect, it acts as a soothing lullaby, guiding society ever closer to ecological breakdown while fostering a false sense of progress. Exposing the facade – and insisting on verifiable, measurable carbon reductions – is essential if rhetoric is to give way to real action.
(Adapted from https://www.greenpeace.org.uk)
According to paragraph 1, having products claimed as eco-friendly rather than conducting meaningful decarbonisation will ______.
lead to delays without solving the current emission problem
cause physical injuries to those involved in the negotiation
bring about a full redesign of the business model of a company
involve spending a huge amount of money paying the agency
Đáp án đúng: A.
Đoạn 1: thuê công ty dán nhãn carbon-neutral, net-zero thì dễ hơn nhiều, buying time while emissions remain untouched (câu giờ trong khi lượng phát thải không đổi), tức gây trì hoãn mà không giải quyết vấn đề phát thải. C, D là đặc điểm của việc giảm phát thải thực sự; B không có. Chọn A.
The word manipulated in paragraph 2 mostly means ______.
hastily produced
legally regulated
randomly deployed
purposely adjusted
Đáp án đúng: D.
Quảng cáo ngày nay được manipulated to conceal ongoing environmental damage = được cố ý điều chỉnh, thao túng để che giấu tác hại môi trường; gần nghĩa purposely adjusted. Chọn D.
Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?
Sustainability buzzwords now fill every sector, with their reach being amplified by influencers and polished reports.
The stories about greenwashing reach a much wider audience due to the joint effort of social media and traditional marketing channels.
Commercials for everyday products and services, ranging from holiday bookings to petrol pumps and bacon packs, are prevalent on unconventional marketing channels.
Social media influencers and impressive reports have a role to play in the dissemination of deceptive environmental claims.
Đáp án đúng: A.
Đoạn 2: người tiêu dùng gặp các tuyên bố “xanh” ở khắp nơi (hàng không, trạm xăng, thịt xông khói), và người có ảnh hưởng cùng các báo cáo bóng bẩy khuếch đại chúng. A bao quát cả hai ý. B sai (vượt ra ngoài kênh truyền thống, không phải cùng kênh truyền thống), C sai chi tiết, D chỉ nêu một ý. Chọn A.
What causes corporate boards to adopt greenwashing?
Public belief that carbon reductions are unnecessary
Growing public interest in the development of climate science
Public pressure on corporations to opt for PR campaigns
Increasing public concern about environmental issues
Đáp án đúng: D.
Đoạn 3: Intensifying public anxiety over global heating and ecosystem collapse has placed companies under sharp scrutiny; many boards therefore choose eye-catching PR. Nguyên nhân là mối lo ngại ngày càng tăng của công chúng về môi trường. Chọn D.
What challenge do regulators face in monitoring greenwashing claims?
Enforcement that falls behind corporate creativity
Conflicting laws on both sides of the Atlantic
Insufficient public support
A lack of clear terminology
Đáp án đúng: A.
Đoạn 3: enforcement still lags behind corporate ingenuity (việc thực thi vẫn tụt sau sự khéo léo của doanh nghiệp). Chọn A.
The phrase the practice in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
global heating
greenwashing
scrutiny
climate science
Đáp án đúng: B.
The term greenwashing emerged in the 1980s …, but the practice has exploded only recently: thuật ngữ ra đời từ thập niên 1980 nhưng chính việc tẩy xanh mới bùng nổ gần đây. the practice = greenwashing. Chọn B.
Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
For empty slogans to be realised into moves, revelations about greenwashing and practical measures to reduce carbon are required.
The real solution to the issue of carbon is to verify and measure carbon reductions rather than just raise public awareness through campaigns.
To make way for meaningful activities in reality, it is vital to expose the public to proper and specific measures to reduce emissions.
Greenwashing is, in fact, a fallacy and therefore should be replaced by feasible actions which are encouraged through public movements.
Đáp án đúng: A.
Câu gạch chân: vạch trần bộ mặt giả và đòi hỏi mức giảm carbon kiểm chứng, đo lường được là điều cốt yếu nếu muốn lời nói chuyển thành hành động thực. A giữ đủ hai vế (vạch trần greenwashing + biện pháp giảm carbon thực tế) và mục đích (biến khẩu hiệu thành hành động). D, C, B thêm hoặc đổi ý. Chọn A.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
Regulators are effectively utilising the tools and resources to verify most environmental claims, tackling the wide spread of eco-labels.
The shift from denying climate science to applying “green” paint reflects high-emitting industries’ genuine commitment to renewables.
Greenwashing brings corporations benefits in terms of finance and reputation without having to reform their core operations.
Investors who value long-term environmental impact put pressure on companies to implement substantial structural reforms.
Đáp án đúng: C.
Doanh nghiệp chọn PR hào nhoáng thay vì tái cấu trúc tốn kém, được nhà đầu tư hoan nghênh và tránh được chỉ trích, nên có thể suy ra greenwashing mang lại lợi ích tài chính và danh tiếng mà không phải cải tổ hoạt động cốt lõi. A sai (cơ quan quản lý đang chật vật), B sai (chỉ là “sơn xanh”), D sai (nhà đầu tư chạy theo lợi nhuận ngắn hạn). Chọn C.
Where in the passage does the following sentence best fit?
Yet greenwashing is arguably more insidious.
[IV]
[II]
[I]
[III]
Đáp án đúng: A.
Ngay trước [IV] tác giả nêu greenwashing và phủ nhận khí hậu có chung mục tiêu; sau [IV] là phép so sánh: phủ nhận thì bác bỏ khủng hoảng, còn greenwashing khiến công chúng tin vấn đề đã được giải quyết. Câu Yet greenwashing is arguably more insidious (nhưng greenwashing có lẽ còn nguy hiểm ngấm ngầm hơn) nối hai ý này. Chọn A.
Which of the following best summarises the passage?
Once a prevalent strategy of corporations in response to public scrutiny, climate denial is losing its effectiveness and has to be replaced by greenwashing.
Greenwashing is surging as firms cover ongoing pollution in eco-friendly rhetoric, distracting the public and postponing the deep emission cuts scientists deem urgent.
High-emitting sectors follow the trend of greenwashing, boasting about promising renewable ventures in press releases while quietly going on damaging the environment.
Instead of investing in meaningful decarbonisation, major emitters have a tendency to opt for denying the claim of “carbon-neutral” or “net-zero” on their product lines.
Đáp án đúng: B.
Bài viết nói greenwashing đang bùng nổ, các công ty che đậy ô nhiễm bằng ngôn từ thân thiện môi trường, đánh lạc hướng công chúng và trì hoãn việc cắt giảm phát thải cấp bách. B tóm tắt đủ ý. C chỉ là ví dụ ngành dầu khí, D sai, A chỉ là một chi tiết. Chọn B.
