Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the blanks. 

     Very few people, groups, or governments oppose globalization in its entirety. Instead, critics of globalization believe aspects of the way globalization operates should be changed. The debate over globalization is about what the best rules are for governing the global economy so that its advantages can grow while its problems can be solved. 

     On one side of this debate are those who stress the benefits of removing barriers to international trade and investment, allowing capital to be allocated more efficiently and giving consumers greater freedom of choice. With free-market globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich countries to the developing countries. Consumers can benefit from cheaper products because reduced taxes make goods produced at low cost from faraway places cheaper to buy. Producers of goods gain by selling to a wider market. More competition keeps sellers on their toes and allows ideas and new technology to spread and benefit others. 

     On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-liberal policies as producing greater poverty, inequality, social conflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage. They say that the most developed nations - the United States, Germany, and Japan - succeeded not because of free trade but because of protectionism and subsidies. They argue that the more recently successful economies of South Korea, Taiwan, and China all had strong state-led development strategies that did not follow neo-liberalism. These critics think that government encouragement of “infant industries" – that is, industries that are just beginning to develop - enables a country to become internationally competitive. 

     Furthermore, those who criticize the Washington Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of money from speculative investors must be limited to prevent bubbles. These bubbles are characterized by the rapid inflow of foreign funds that bid up domestic stock markets and property values. When the economy cannot sustain such expectations, the bubbles burst as investors panic and pull their money out of the country. 

     Protests by what is called the anti-globalization movement are seldom directed against globalization itself but rather against abuses that harm the rights of workers and the environment. The question raised by nongovernmental organizations and protesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is whether globalization will result in a rise of living standards or a race to the bottom as competition takes the form of lowering living standards and undermining environmental regulations. 

          One of the key problems of the 21st century will be determining to what extent markets should be regulated to promote fair competition, honest dealing, and fair distribution of public goods on a global scale

Supporters of free-market globalization point out that ___________.

A. investment will be allocated only to rich countries 

B. there will be less competition among producers 

C. consumers can benefit from cheaper products 

Đáp án chính xác

D. taxes that are paid on goods will be increased

Những người ủng hộ toàn cầu hóa thị trường tự do chỉ ra rằng ___________. 

  1. đầu tư sẽ chỉ được phân bổ cho các nước giàu 
  2. sẽ ít cạnh tranh hơn giữa các nhà sản xuất 
  3. người tiêu dùng có thể hưởng lợi từ các sản phẩm rẻ hơn 
  4. thuế đánh vào hàng hoá sẽ tăng lên 

Thông tin: With free-market globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich countries to the developing countries. Consumers can benefit from cheaper products because reduced taxes make goods produced at low cost from faraway places cheaper to buy. 

Tạm dịch: Với toàn cầu hóa thị trường tự do, các quỹ đầu tư có thể di chuyển không bị cản trở từ các nước giàu sang các nước đang phát triển. Người tiêu dùng có thể được hưởng lợi từ các sản phẩm rẻ hơn vì thuế giảm làm cho hàng hóa được sản xuất với chi phí thấp từ những nơi xa mua được rẻ hơn.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the blanks.

     Scientists believe they now have scientific evidence to prove that ecosystems work better when there is a greater variety of species within them. This biodiversity is being lost destroying natural mechanisms that could repair the damage caused by man. 

     Findings show that losing plants and animals is not only reducing our quality of life but actually endangering our very existence. We cut down rich rainforests and replace them with one species plantations, such as pine and eucalyptus. We plough up meadows rich in different grasses and herbs and replace them with one grass, for instance rye or wheat. 

          When a natural ecosystem is simplified the basic processes in the ecosystem are altered and even damaged. Without their biodiversity, they are not able to serve as the natural cleaners of our planet. No longer are they able to absorb the carbon dioxide that is being produced in excess. The result is global warming, caused by the increase in the 'greenhouse effect', and ultimately, or even sooner, there will be a change in the world's climate
