Câu 1: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Music has always been a powerful form of communication, transcending language barriers and connecting people across cultures. In the era of globalization, its role has become even more significant. The internet and digital technologies have revolutionized how music is created, distributed, and consumed, leading to unprecedented global reach for artists and genres from all corners of the world.
One notable phenomenon is the rise of K-Pop (Korean Pop). What started as a regional music scene has exploded onto the global stage, topping charts in countries far beyond South Korea. This success isn"t solely due to catchy melodies and polished production; it"s a carefully constructed package that includes synchronized choreography, vibrant fashion, high-quality music videos, and sophisticated use of social media to engage with a global fanbase. Fandoms play a crucial role, organizing streaming parties, mass buying albums, and promoting their idols tirelessly online, demonstrating the power of collective action in the digital age.
Similarly, Latin music, Afrobeats, and other non-Western genres are finding larger international audiences than ever before. Streaming platforms allow listeners worldwide to discover music that would have been inaccessible just a few decades ago. This global exchange enriches the musical landscape, leading to fascinating fusions of styles and influences. However, it also raises questions about cultural appropriation and the dominance of certain platforms or markets.

Câu 6: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The way we consume music has changed dramatically over the past few decades. In the late 20th century, physical formats like CDs dominated the market. Music was often bought in albums, encouraging listeners to experience a collection of songs curated by the artist.
The rise of the internet and digital compression technologies like MP3s in the late 1990s and early 2000s led to a shift towards digital downloads. This era made it easier to purchase individual tracks, potentially reducing the focus on the album as a cohesive work. However, it also introduced widespread piracy, challenging the traditional music industry model.
The most recent transformation is the dominance of music streaming services. Platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others offer vast libraries of music accessible on demand for a subscription fee or with ads. Streaming has made music more convenient and affordable for listeners and has become the primary revenue source for the industry, though the distribution of this revenue among artists is a subject of ongoing debate.
This evolution has not only changed how we listen but also what we listen to. Algorithms on streaming platforms recommend new music based on listening habits, potentially broadening exposure to different artists and genres, but also possibly creating filter bubbles where listeners are only shown music similar to what they already like. The sheer availability of music means listeners can jump between tracks and artists more easily than ever before, which some argue has shortened attention spans and reduced deep engagement with albums.

Câu 11: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Music serves different purposes in different cultures and contexts. Traditional folk music, for instance, often arises from the daily lives, history, and collective experiences of a community. It is typically passed down orally from generation to generation, with variations emerging as it travels. Folk songs often tell stories, commemorate events, or accompany work and rituals. The focus is often on community participation and the preservation of cultural heritage rather than individual stardom or commercial success.
In contrast, modern pop music is largely a commercial product designed for mass appeal. It is characterized by catchy hooks, relatable lyrics (often focusing on themes like love and relationships), and polished production using modern technology. Pop music is distributed globally through mass media and digital platforms, and its success is often measured by chart performance and sales figures. While individual artists are central to pop music"s appeal, the creation process often involves teams of songwriters, producers, and marketers.
Despite their differences, folk and pop music are not entirely separate. Pop artists sometimes incorporate folk elements, and folk musicians may adopt modern production techniques.
