Mã đề: 1126 Read the following article and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 1 to 6. Cancer screening in Việt Nam remains a paradox of high acknowledgement yet low uptake. Although public surveys repeatedly show that most adults accept the clinical value of early detection, participation lags behind expectations. In a nationwide poll, respondents overwhelmingly agreed that screening can decisively improve outcomes; still, only (1) ________ of eligible adults reported having completed even a basic check. The gap persists because many people, (2) ________ by cost anxieties and diagnostic dread, delay routine visits until symptoms emerge. Health officials argue that screening should precede illness, not wait (3) ________ symptoms, and that modern modalities – ranging from immuno-oncology to AI-assisted imaging – deserve broader literacy. Community trust, (4) ________ fragile in the wake of misinformation, hinges on transparent safeguards for data and on clinicians’ bedside clarity. Public campaigns, (5) ________ leverage familiar figures and plain-language messaging, can recast screening as preventive self-care rather than a harbinger of doom. To (6) ________ structural obstacles, policymakers are piloting cost-sharing schemes and training family doctors to counsel hesitant patients – steps meant to convert awareness into action across provinces.

Rapid population ageing is reshaping economies, welfare systems, and everyday life. (7) ________, the speed of this transition differs dramatically across regions, compelling governments to recalibrate health financing and labour policies. Older adults live longer (8) ________ unprecedented medical advances, yet the burden of multimorbidity raises demand for long-term care. Policymakers confront trade-offs as (9) ________ country must adapt labour markets while sustaining intergenerational solidarity. Designing eldercare requires joined-up planning that integrates housing, transport, and digital access into (10) ________ infrastructure. In the public conversation, the most (11) ________ concern is not merely longevity but healthy life expectancy – years lived with autonomy and dignity. Meeting this challenge will depend on the right mix of pensions, prevention, and (12) ________ that enables ageing in place while supporting family caregivers.

Shadow banning – the stealthy downgrading of a user’s visibility without explicit notification – has become a flashpoint for researchers studying the speech conditions of marginalized communities online. Scholars note that creators reporting racial, gendered, or queer harassment often experience sudden collapses in reach that cannot be explained by seasonal churn or platform fatigue. What complicates remediation is that platforms rarely disclose the parameters of their moderation algorithms, thereby forcing affected users to infer causality from opaque metrics. In such an environment, suspicion thrives: an unexplained dip in engagement is interpreted not as randomness but as penalty. A second line of inquiry probes the chilling effects that follow. When artists or activists cannot reliably access their audiences, they selfcensor, dilute keywords, or abandon contentious topics altogether. Researchers argue that the burden of uncertainty falls unevenly: those whose livelihoods depend on steady exposure must engage in continuous tactical recalibration, whereas already dominant voices weather volatility with fewer consequences. Methodologically, the study triangulates qualitative interviews with largescale audits of content delivery. Participants describe submitting nearly identical posts only to watch one circulate widely while the other languishes; audit teams corroborate that delivery pipelines sometimes throttle posts containing specific constellations of terms. The authors caution that strict intentionality is difficult to prove, since platform codebases are labyrinthine and constantly iterated. Policy implications remain contested. Some advocate for procedural transparency – appeals dashboards, explainable thresholds, and dueprocess timelines. Others warn that full disclosure would enable adversarial gaming by spammers. Between these poles lies an incremental approach: publish highlevel criteria, report aggregate impacts by demographic, and establish independent review mechanisms that can, when necessary, compel remedial action. (Adapted from University of Michigan Record, “Study looks at shadowbanning of marginalized social media users”) Question 23. The word probes in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______. A. castigates B. examines closely C. lionizes D. disseminates Question 24. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a consequence or response associated with shadow banning? A. Creators deliberately simplifying vocabulary to avoid automated suppression. B. Users inferring penalties from unexplained engagement drops. C. Platforms offering complete disclosure of algorithmic thresholds to all users. D. Activists abandoning contentious topics due to unstable reach. Question 25. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 1? A. Remedies prove elusive because companies seldom reveal how moderation works, obliging those affected to guess causes from inscrutable analytics. B. Repair is straightforward once platforms disclose their moderation rules, enabling users to trace declines to specific code changes. C. Since platforms announce the parameters of moderation openly, harmed users can accurately compute why engagement has fallen.
