Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50
World leaders love to present trees as the answer to our climate change woes. Earth has room for another 0.9 billion hectares of them, which could buy us an extra 20 years to decarbonise our societies by locking up emitted carbon. But many countries are terrible at even holding onto their existing carbon-rich trees. However, this problem isn't caused solely by lower-income countries, as a recent study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution made clear by linking deforestation to international trade. High-income countries, like the UK, Japan and Germany, are driving deforestation abroad with their demand for beef, soya, palm oil and other goods.
Last year's increase in tree cover loss, which includes deforestation as well as natural losses, such as through fire, is especially galling because 2020 was the deadline a host of countries and businesses set for halving deforestation from 2014 levels. The timing also poses a headache for the United Nations and those hoping for a good outcome at this year's COP26 climate summit in November.
Alarming deforestation trends in Brazil under President Jair Bolsonaro saw Norway and Germany halt funds to Brazil for protecting the Amazon rain forest in 2019. The situation is no better today, with Brazil losing 1.7 million hectares in 2020, three times that of the country with the next biggest losses, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Moreover, Brazil's increase in loss was more than twice the global average, at 25 per cent. Boosting climate aid to Brazil in that context poses a tricky conundrum for high income countries.
These rates of tree cover loss have a huge climate impact. Mikaela Weisse at the WRI and her colleagues estimate last year's loss released about 2.6 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide, roughly on a par with India, the world's fourth biggest emitter. Continuing with such colossal emissions will wipe out the amount of CO2 that tree planting is expected to absorb.
It is time for world leaders to get a grip. If we are to stand any chance of meeting the world's climate goals, governments must take deforestation as seriously as they do transforming their energy systems. Politics can make stopping deforestation hard. The European Commission and UK government are considering using trade deals and regulations to apply pressure on countries such as Brazil to curb deforestation. However, this may not be viewed well by Brazil. Globally, there is hope. Forest loss fell in Indonesia and Malaysia last year – signs that government policies to curb deforestation can work.
A. Many countries are still struggling to maintain their CO2 levels.
B. Brazil found itself in a worse situation after being cut funds for the protection of Amazon.
C. Countries acting as a climate aid donor to Brazil may find themselves in a dilemma.
D. India emitted no more than 2.6 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2020.

D. India emitted no more than 2.6 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2020.
Điều nào sau đây KHÔNG đúng, theo đoạn văn?
A. Nhiều quốc gia vẫn đang phải vật lộn để duy trì mức CO2 của họ.
B. Brazil rơi vào tình cảnh tồi tệ hơn sau khi bị cắt quỹ bảo vệ Amazon.
C. Các quốc gia đóng vai trò là nhà viện trợ khí hậu cho Braxin có thể rơi vào tình thế khó xử.
D.Ấn Độ thải ra không quá 2,6 tỷ tấn khí cacbonic vào năm 2020.
+ Thông tin: But many countries are terrible at even holding onto their existing carbon-rich trees.
Tạm dịch: Nhưng nhiều quốc gia đang gặp khó khăn trong việc giữ lại những cây giàu carbon hiện có của họ
→ A đúng
+ Thông tin: Alarming deforestation trends in Brazil under President Jair Bolsonaro saw Norway and Germany halt funds to Brazil for profecting the Amazon rain forest in 2019. The situation is no better today, with Brazil losing 1.7 million hectares in 2020, three times that of the country with the next biggest losses, the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Tạm dịch: Xu hướng phá rừng đáng báo động ở Brazil dưới thời Tổng thống Jair Bolsonaro đã xảy ra việc Na Uy và Đức ngừng tài trợ cho Brazil để bảo vệ rừng nhiệt đới Amazon vào năm 2019. Tình hình ngày nay không khả quan hơn, với Brazil mất 1,7 triệu ha vào năm 2020, gấp ba lần so với quốc gia có thiệt hại lớn nhất tiếp theo, Cộng hòa Dân chủ Congo.
→ B đúng on
+ Thông tin: Boosting climate aid to Brazil in that context poses a tricky conundrum for high income countries.
Tạm dịch: Việc tăng cường viện trợ khí hậu cho Brazil trong bối cảnh đó đặt ra một bài toán học búa cho các nước thu nhập cao.

Bài nói "about 2.6 billion tonnes" (trên hoặc dưới 2,6 tỷ tấn) chứ không phải dưới 2,6 tỷ tấn
