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 1 to 10.

Contemporary corporate management is standing at the threshold of a profound operational shift,

driven by the rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Human Resources (HR). Utilizing

sophisticated behavioral models and neural networks, these cutting-edge platforms promise to seamlessly

evaluate vast applicant pools with astonishing precision and objectivity. While initially restricted to the

rigorous environments of multinational conglomerates for streamlining executive acquisitions, the advent of

accessible software-as-a-service (SaaS) has recently democratised access to this transformative technology.

[I]

The fundamental mechanics enabling this corporate deception, known as "AI washing," rely on

strategic marketing rather than actual machine learning. Within this deceptive architecture, software vendors

capture popular tech buzzwords, while superficial keyword-matching programs are touted as advanced

predictive AI. [II] Through continuous rebranding, sales departments refine their promotional materials,

learning to disguise traditional software so effectively that it frequently fools HR executives before thorough

technical auditing occurs. Although genuine data scientists continue to highlight the authentic potential of

unbiased algorithms, the commercial exploitation via AI washing remains profoundly alarming. [III]

The societal ramifications of deceptive recruitment tech extend far beyond mere administrative

inefficiency. Corporate landscapes have already witnessed pilot hiring programs deployed by aggressive

enterprises utilizing automated screening tools to heavily filter applicant tracking systems, unfairly

penalizing qualified candidates. Furthermore, within the unregulated HR software industry, AI washing

threatens to institutionalize our most pervasive workplace biases by harvesting flawed historical data through

exaggerated technical capabilities. Fraudulent vendors could potentially exploit these ambiguous regulatory

environments to extract massive subscription fees directly from uninformed companies, thereby undermining

the fundamental concept of equitable employment. [IV]

Addressing this imminent workplace epidemic necessitates a comprehensively multifaceted strategy.

Labor watchdogs are struggling to formulate statutory frameworks defining "ethical AI," though the opaque

nature of proprietary algorithms often complicates legal definitions. Concurrently, independent auditing firms

are irrevocably engaged in a perpetual game of catch-up, urgently engineering specialized diagnostic tools

to separate authentic neural networks from biased code. However, as marketing deception technology

evolves, so too do its elusive capabilities. Crucially, cultivating algorithmic transparency among HR

professionals—equipping them to interrogate vendor claims—remains our most potent defense against

systemic hiring inequities.

(Adapted from reports by HR Tech Integrity Foundation and labor market analyses, 2024–2025)

Question 6.

Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

A. Systemic hiring inequities can only be stopped if global auditing firms take full responsibility for

monitoring software-as-a-service subscriptions.

B. The most powerful protection against systemic hiring bias is equipping HR staff with the knowledge

required to rigorously question software vendors.

C. To completely prevent hiring inequities, companies must be taught to entirely reject all forms of

commercial recruitment AI.

D. Cultivating algorithmic transparency is extremely difficult because most professionals are entirely

indifferent to the deception of HR software.

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 16 to 20.

Gen Z's emergence as a dominant consumer base has increasingly aimed to reshape retail industries

and enhance ethical consumption. During the early 2020s, this demographic allocated significant purchasing

power to sustainable brands, (16). From 2022 to early 2026, they also championed secondhand marketplaces

and boycotted unethical supply chains. These behavioral shifts have facilitated more transparent business

practices and fostered eco-conscious retail environments. More ethical production can minimize carbon

footprints, lower environmental degradation, and make sustainable products highly appealing, (17).

Yet, consumer pressure alone cannot guarantee a truly sustainable global economy. Retail corporations also

need to ensure material traceability, strengthen supply chain auditing, and support fair labor practices. Recent

retail strategies have therefore prioritized eco-friendly packaging, circular economy models, and corporate

transparency, (18). In this context, sustainable marketing is not merely a public relations tool. It can elevate

brand loyalty and broaden market share, but some corporate executives remain hesitant about adopting

entirely green manufacturing processes. (19). There is evidence that this reluctance may stem partly from a

lack of immediate financial returns and partly from anxieties regarding higher production costs. Even so,

ethical business practices are likely to remain indispensable, (20)______. This is especially true in sectors

striving to capture young consumer loyalty through authentic environmental solutions.

(Adapted from reports on Gen Z consumer behavior, 2024–2026)

Question 16.

A. a visible market adjustment that has expanded ethical demand while intensifying scrutiny of long-term

corporate responsibility

B. a measurable purchasing movement that has strengthened sustainable branding while exposing

unresolved weaknesses in global retail structures

C. a notable consumer transition that has improved brand accountability while leaving production systems

largely under pressure

D. a substantial market shift that has yielded clear environmental benefits while highlighting the necessity

of future corporate reforms

Question 17.

A. which means ethical consumption is often interpreted through broader expectations of long-term

corporate accountability

B. which is why many young consumers increasingly associate premium pricing with deeper

environmental commitment

C. which is why many young shoppers view transparent sourcing as the most tangible indicator of

corporate responsibility

D. which helps explain why sustainable branding is frequently judged through packaging, messaging, and

store identity

Question 18.

A. although visible sustainability messaging improves corporate image, it primarily functions as a

superficial public relations tool

B. because stronger environmental branding increasingly helps global policymakers to strictly standardize

ethical consumption across sectors

C. since transparent reporting and circular models guarantee immediate financial returns despite higher

initial production costs

D. since verifiable green initiatives empower conscientious buyers to form enduring, loyalty-driven

relationships with responsible brands

Question 19.

A. Competitive pressure can also determine whether green innovation is treated as a branding asset or a

structural investment

Trang 5

B. Profitability concerns therefore also shape the extent to which new sustainable models are adopted and

scaled.

C. Investor expectations therefore influence how confidently sustainability targets are communicated to

the broader market

D. Operational uncertainty likewise affects how rapidly environmental commitments are translated into

concrete manufacturing change

Question 20.

A. especially as public expectations continue to reward brands that communicate sustainability more

consistently over time

B. particularly when strict certifications and robust transparency reassure consumers of their authenticity

and impact

C. especially if firms can preserve consumer interest while balancing environmental commitments with

competitive pricing

D. particularly when environmental messaging is integrated into premium branding and broader product

differentiation

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 questions from 33 to 40.

When agricultural cooperatives integrate individual farms into a unified "smart agri-network", they

employ digital systems to make rural farming significantly more resilient for modern agriculturalists.

Weather satellites, drone surveillance, and soil sensors create a continuous, shared overview of moisture

levels, pest movements, and temperature fluctuations. Because farmers connect to the same network,

cooperative managers can formulate better planting schedules, determine when to deploy harvesting

machinery, and monitor agricultural carbon footprints in real time. What once relied on traditional almanacs

is now guided by instantaneous data.

With intelligent greenhouse technology, agricultural facilities can precisely chart their microclimate

needs and establish tailored growing profiles. Motorized sunshades adjust automatically to minimize leaf

scorch, smart thermostats adjust temperatures based on crop maturity, and drip systems circulate water only

where sensors indicate a requirement. Because irrigation is directed exactly where it is demanded, overall

crop yield improves while water expenditure drops. Studies within our country routinely highlight

substantial reductions in resource waste and operational overheads.

Soil conservation is equally rigrous in these advanced farming projects. Specialized monitors

measure underground nutrient levels every minute, and predictive algorithms anticipate pest swarms or

fungal outbreaks with exceptional precision. Automated dispensers channel exact fertilizer volumes to

parched roots and halt when saturation is imminent, alleviating the threat of chemical runoff and ecological

ruin. The outcome is a more reliable food reserve during harsh seasons and a greener habitat for all local

species.

The drive toward enduring agricultural resilience is similarly data-driven and proactive. Centralized

servers log daily harvest rates and crop failures the instant they fluctuate. Diagnostic software examines the

archives to pinpoint inefficiencies in the supply chain and recommend enhanced crop rotation protocols for

the upcoming years to agricultural boards, ensuring ongoing optimization. This makes contemporary food

production both highly profitable and environmentally sound.
