Australia is suffering from one of its worst fire seasons in history, with more than two dozen people killed, thousands of homes destroyed, and millions of acres burned so far Unfortunately, fires like this,
exacerbated by the effects of climate change, will likely rage again, but Australia’s government can take
steps to minimize their destruction
With warming temperatures, Australia will face longer fire seasons To reduce future damage, governments at all levels must act Areas of focus should include enhancing early warning systems and fire prediction capabilities; launching public awareness campaigns on the dangers posed by climate-fueled bushfires and necessary prevention measures; conducting more controlled burns; and developing more stringent building codes that address climate risk
At the state and local levels, communities need to professionalize their firefighting
capabilities They should invest in improved training that educates firefighters and local leaders about the
changing characteristics of bushfires And, once this fire season subsides, states should oversee how and where rebuilding occurs, including restricting redevelopment of particularly fire-prone areas
Trang 4(Adapted from https://www.cfr.org/)

government?
A improving early warning systems and fire prediction capabilities
B raising public awareness of the dangers of bushfires and essential prevention measures
C limiting the number of controlled burns
D developing more stringent building codes to address climate risk.

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 36 to 42.
There has always been a problem with teachers being from a different generation to their pupils, particularly older educators But the dominance of digital technology has spread that generation gap even wider, as young people become conversant with mobile digital devices, games and social media that didn’t exist when their teachers were growing up Teachers now face pupils using devices and online
systems that they don’t use themselves, and don’t really understand either The generation gap is more prevalent than ever, but teachers can bridge that gap if they receive the right guidance with appropriate
technology
Some schools and teachers have particular trouble grasping the role of social media and mobile devices in teenage life They consider Facebook a threat and warn parents against it at parent-teacher evenings, without realizing that preventing teenagers from using social media like this, or messaging apps such as
Trang 5Snapchat and Instagram, is nearly impossible Online social media and network gaming are now such an integral part of teenage behavior that any attempt to prize the mobile devices out of the hands of young people is likely to widen the generation gap rather than narrow it.
The generation gap in education isn’t just between pupils and teachers – it exists within the staffroom, too A teaching career can span more than 40 years, and those towards the end of their working life will not have grown up with digital technology, whereas teaching staff in their 20s and 30s could well be
“digital natives”
Keeping up with the latest online trend is like a dog chasing its tail; every time you think you’ve caught
up, kids move on However, it’s not beneficial to get fixated on how young people are using social networks that are, in the case of Snapchat, hard for the older generation to understand The key factor to consider is that today’s school students now take for granted that a lot of their communication with their peers will be online, and predominantly using smartphones and other mobile devices Young people expect their educational experience to be similarly interactive, and partially delivered via these kinds of devices
(Adapted from https://www.alphr.com/)
36 Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?
A How to Bridge the Generation Gap Between Teachers and Students
B The Technology Problems of Older Teachers
C What Causes Difficulties for Teachers Nowadays?

38 The word “bridge” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .
39 According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT true?
A Some teachers and schools don’t want their children to use social networks.
B It’s unlikely to stop students from using social media.
C Separating teenagers from the mobile devices can help to narrow the generation gap.
D Social media and network gaming become an important part of the behavior of teenagers.
40 The generation gap exists even in the staffroom mostly because .
A the teaching career span is too long to adapt new technology.
B the older teachers are not as familiar with digital technology as the younger.
C many young teachers prefer using digital devices to operating others.
D the older teachers are less unaffected by the development of technology than the younger.
41 The phrase “a dog chasing its tail” in the last paragraph most probably means _.
A keeping on doing something futile B moving around a circle
C doing harm to yourself D getting tired of your behavior
Trang 642 According to the last paragraph, what is the main factor to consider in the generation gap between
teachers and students?

devices
