Mã đề 103 Read the following passage about powering 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. TikTok is a popular social media app where people can create and share short videos [I]. It started in China in 2016 as Douyin [II]. The app is known for its easy-to-use tools that let users add music, effects, and filters to their videos [III]. People of all ages enjoy making and watching TikTok videos, which can be funny, educational, or creative [IV]. One of the reasons TikTok is so popular is because of its algorithm, which shows users videos that match their interests. When you open the app, you see a personalized feed called the "For You" page. This page is different for everyone and updates with new videos all the time. Users can also follow their favorite creators to see more of their content. TikTok has become a platform for trends and challenges. Many users participate in dance challenges, lip- syncing, and other viral activities. These trends can spread quickly, reaching millions of people in a short time. Because of this, TikTok has influenced music charts, fashion, and even language. Songs that go viral on TikTok often become hits on other platforms too. The app is also a space for education and advocacy. Many creators use TikTok to share knowledge about various topics, such as science, history, cooking, and fitness. Others use the platform to raise awareness about social issues and promote positive change. In addition to individual creators, many brands and businesses use TikTok for marketing. They create content to engage with their audience, often using popular trends and challenges to promote their products. However, TikTok has faced some criticism and challenges. Concerns about privacy and data security have led to scrutiny from governments. Despite these issues, TikTok still remains one of the most downloaded apps in the world.

Read the following passage about green living 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 11 to 18. In any web search for the world's famous scientists, Marie Curie always receives a mention. Curie, a Polish and naturalised French physicist and chemist, discovered radiation, helped apply it in the field of X-rays and coined the term radioactivity. She made a huge contribution to science, but was one of the very few women who gained the recognition they deserved. Science was man's world in the nineteenth century. And yet, Mary Anning became an expert in fossils and geology. Coming from a poor family, she collected fossils on the beach and sold them to make a little money. She found fossils of complete marine reptiles that became extinct over 100 million years ago. She gained the respect of scientists, but living in an era when women weren't allowed to vote or attend university, she was not allowed to join the Geological Society of London. A hundred years later, conditions were still difficult for female scientists. Rosalind Franklin, a chemist born in 1920, was part of a team who discovered the molecular structure of DNA. Tragically, she died aged thirty-seven, four years before her fellow scientists, all men, were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962. They made no reference to Franklin in their acceptance speech. In cases where women's achievements were recognised, we still find evidence of discrimination in the way these were reported in the press. When the brilliant chemist Dorothy Hodgkin was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1964 for discovering the molecular structure of penicillin and vitamin B12, the paper headline was Oxford Housewife Wins Nobel. In fact, this housewife was also a professor at Oxford University. Today, the gender gap in the world of science is slowly closing and there are many female scientists inspiring new generations of girls to study scientific subjects. But there are still some ways to go for women to be equally represented in science. (Adapted from English Discovery) Question 11: The word coined in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .
