Globalization has had a profound impact on cultural diversity, shaping the way people live, interact, and share ideas across the world. One of the most noticeable effects of globalization is the spread of cultural influences, (18) . This leads to the exchange of traditions, foods, music, and fashion, allowing people to experience and appreciate cultures that were once far removed from their own.
However, while globalization promotes cultural exchange, (19) . As global brands and media dominate, local customs, languages, and traditions can become overshadowed by a more homogenized global culture. For example, fast-food chains, Hollywood movies, and popular music are now widely consumed, sometimes at the expense of indigenous cultural practices. This creates a risk of losing unique cultural identities and practices (20) .
On the other hand, globalization has also created opportunities for the preservation and promotion of cultural diversity. The internet and social media have allowed people to share their cultural heritage on a global scale. (21) . Communities can now showcase their languages, art, and traditions to a much wider audience, increasing awareness and understanding of different cultures.
Overall, globalization has both positive and negative effects on cultural diversity. While it fosters cultural exchange and understanding, it also threatens to diminish the uniqueness of local cultures. Balancing these effects requires efforts (22) while embracing the benefits of global connectivity.

Plastic pollution is the buildup of synthetic plastic materials in the environment, harming wildlife, habitats, and human populations. It began with Bakelite's invention in 1907, which introduced synthetic plastic into global commerce. Over time, plastics have become persistent pollutants, from mountain peaks to ocean floors. As plastics are non-biodegradable, they remain in the environment for hundreds of years, often ending up in landscapes, oceans, and other natural areas due to improper disposal.
Plastics are designed to resist decay, unlike natural materials such as rubber or silk, which break down over time. This durability has caused environmental problems, as plastic bottles, bags, and packaging are frequently discarded improperly. Lightweight, disposable plastics make up about half of all plastic production and are often left in public spaces or carried by the wind, creating litter worldwide. Improper disposal has turned plastic pollution into a global issue, affecting countries everywhere.
The oceans are the most affected by plastic pollution. Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste go into the seas, hurting marine animals. Big pieces of plastic can entangle animals, making them unable to escape, while tiny microplastics are eaten by sea creatures. This is dangerous for the animals and for people who eat seafood. Microplastics have been found in deep ocean areas and inside sea animals. They collect harmful chemicals, which can also make them dangerous to nature.
On land, plastic pollution blocks drainage systems, leading to urban flooding. Birds and animals feeding near waste dumps often ingest plastic, causing health issues. Additionally, microplastics are carried by the wind, polluting remote regions like mountaintops and Arctic ice. Addressing this issue requires reducing plastic production, improving waste management, and raising awareness of its harmful effects.

Read the following passage 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 31 to 40.

Airport cities are a new and innovative urban model where airports are integrated with surrounding commercial, residential, and recreational areas. (I) This model combines modern infrastructure with urban development, transforming airports from mere transportation hubs into centers of business, leisure, and culture. (II) In the past, airports were built far from cities to avoid noise and traffic congestion. (III) However, as airports have become essential to urban growth, they now drive both economic and social development. (IV)
An airport city is designed to provide a wide range of services, including office spaces, hotels, shopping malls, entertainment venues, and even parks. These developments make airports more than just places to catch flights; they become destinations in themselves. For example, Songdo in South Korea was built to support Incheon Airport, creating a smart, sustainable city that works in harmony with the airport and its surroundings.
Many airport cities around the world have seen great success. Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, for instance, is not only a major air travel hub but also a large shopping center, attracting visitors even without flights. Similarly, Singapore’s Changi Airport offers more than just travel services - it provides shopping, dining, and entertainment, with attractions like a butterfly garden, making it one of the best airports in the world.
The development of airport cities has proven to be a powerful economic driver. For instance, Vietnam's Long Thanh Airport is being developed with the intention of establishing a comprehensive airport city, poised to invigorate the economy of the southern region. This project will generate thousands of jobs, create new housing developments, and promote local businesses, all while enhancing the region’s global connectivity.
Overall, the airport city model is becoming increasingly popular, offering significant economic, social, and environmental benefits. As more cities adopt this model, airports will play an even more crucial role in our daily lives, connecting people to the world in innovative and exciting ways. This transformation of airports into vibrant, integrated urban centers marks an important step in the future of urban planning.
