Trang 3 Maõ Ñeà 0006-Anh Văn-Thi Thử TNTHPT plantations employ over a quarter of a million children, sixty-six percent of whom do not attend school and sixty-four percent of whom are under the age of fourteen. (III) The US Department of State estimates that over 10,000 of these children have been enslaved or employed as a result of human trafficking. (IV) Cacao production is both difficult and dangerous for plantation workers, including children, who put up with terrible working conditions because they represent poverty-stricken families and desperately need the work. To produce one pound of chocolate, 400 cacao pods must be cut from high branches using a sharp, heavy, long-handled knife. In order to release the cacao beans, each pod is held in one hand and hacked open with the knife held in the other hand. Cacao workers also have to accept the added health risks of handling pesticides and carrying heavy loads. The work yields slightly over forty cents a pound for the farm owner (half that if he is forced to use a middleman to sell his crop), and considerably less for the worker, who regularly toils for more than twelve hours a day. Promises made by the chocolate industry since 2000 to improve the situation have, unfortunately, not proved to be sincere, since little has been done to change the status quo, according to a report released by Tulane University in 2006. However, there is hope that Fair Trade agreements can provide the answer. The Fair Trade system ensures that the cacao producer, who does not employ child laborers, has received a fair price for his product. Fair Trade farmers are also obligated to pay workers a fair wage, and farm in a way that is environmentally sustainable. The International Labor Rights Fund publishes a Chocolate Company Scorecard that consumers can consult to see which chocolate manufacturers offer Fair Trade- certified products. 18. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The chocolate industry is thriving in the US. B. Cacao production in West Africa involves child labor and poor conditions. C. Fair Trade agreements have solved the problems in cacao production. D. Chocolate manufacturing is environmentally sustainable. 19. Where would the following sentence best fit in the passage? This exploitation is a stark contrast to the sweet indulgence enjoyed by consumers. A. (III) B. (II) C. (IV) D. (I) 20. Which word is a synonym for "insatiable" as used in the passage?

Despite its difficulty and dangers, cacao production provides necessary income for poverty-stricken families and their children facing harsh work. C. The strenuous and risky job of cacao farming forces families, even children, to accept all circumstances because they urgently require work. D. Plantation workers, including children, endure harsh and risky conditions in cacao farming due to their poor families' urgent need for income. 22. What percentage of West Africa's cacao plantation workers are children under the age of fourteen? A. 64% B. 10% C. 66% D. 25% 23. Which word is an antonym for "sincere" as used in the passage?
