- Đáp án: B
Keywords: way of using dance, not proposing
Đoạn B: “That is not to suggest everyone should dance their way to work, however healthy and happy it might make us, but rather that the techniques used by choreographers to experiment with and design movement in dance could provide engineers with tools to stimulate new ideas in city-making”.
- Đáp án: C
Keywords: contrast, past and present, building

What seems entirely predictable and controllable on screen has unexpected results when translated into reality”.

habitat = ecosystems
- Đáp án: A
Keywords: exact point, particular species, extinct

Đoạn E: “Necessary adaptations would include smaller ears, thicker hair, and extra insulating fat, all for the purpose of reducing heat loss in the tundra”.
minimise = reduce
- Đáp án: ears
Keywords: mammoth-like features
Đoạn E: “Necessary adaptations would include smaller ears, thicker hair, and extra insulating fat, all for the purpose of reducing heat loss in the tundra”.

more = extra
- Đáp án: (carbon) emissions
Keywords: repopulating, environment
Đoạn E: “This repopulation of the tundra and boreal forests of Eurasia and North America with large mammals could also be a useful factor in reducing carbon emissions – elephants punch holes through snow and knock down trees, which encourages grass growth. This grass growth would reduce temperatures and mitigate emissions from melting permafrost”.
decrease = mitigate
- Đáp án: B
Keywords: reproducing an extinct species, improve, particular species

- Đáp án: A
Keywords: beneficial impact, vegetation
Đoạn D: “According to Novak, a hybridised band-tailed pigeon, with the added nesting habits of a passenger pigeon, could, in theory, re-establish that forest disturbance, thereby creating a habitat necessary for a great many other native species to thrive”.
