Câu hỏi 144 :

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 31 to 35.

     It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them going for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages soon became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are putting out so-called "energy drinks”. These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers more energy.

     One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer's body and mind. In order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally produces for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem like a sure bet to give a person energy.
          Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person's energy level. Another problem is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients in energy drinks work together. Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about believing all the claims energy drinks make. He says, “It is plausible if you put all these things together, you will get a good result." However, Dr. Bauer adds the mix of ingredients could also have a negative impact on the body. "We just don't know at this point,” he says.

What is the passage mainly about?

A. Teenagers should not choose energy drinks.

B. Caffeine is bad for people to drink.

C. Red Bull is the best energy drink.

D. It is uncertain whether energy drinks are healthy.

Câu hỏi 145 :

According to the passage, all of the following statements are true EXCEPT ______.

A. Colas have been on the market longer than other so-called "energy drinks".

B. The makers of Red Bull say that it can revitalize a person.

C. Bauer does not seem to believe the claims of energy drink makers.

D. It has been scientifically proved that energy drinks work.

Câu hỏi 146 :

A. one example

B. Red Bull

C. the company

D. thirst quencher

Câu hỏi 147 :

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 36 to 42.

     Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just how useful this discovery has been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power. It was used to drive engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol mixed with air was the next invention that provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability.

     On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the powerful voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity. An electric current can be made with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of coffee.

     Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is the greatest power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances.

     To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they use coal or water to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal. Atomic power is used in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy once occurred at Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor leaked, which caused many deaths through radiation.

     Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects to the environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create more current is necessary. When this happens, electric cars will be viable and the world will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels.

Câu hỏi 166 :

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.

     Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in, involves the utilization of a decision worksheet. Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are. Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal results, that is, the best decisions. Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets can take, they are all similar in their essential aspects. Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision.

     Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question “What will I do after graduation?” A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.

     A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to “What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career?”

What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. A tool to assist in making complex decisions

B. Research on how people make decisions

C. A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions

D. Differences between long-range and short-range decision making

Câu hỏi 167 :

Of the following steps, which occurs before the others in making a decision worksheet?

A. Deciding which consequences are most important

B. Calculating a numerical summary of each solution

C. Listing the consequences of each solutio

D. Writing down all possible solutions

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.

     The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but a 2009 study showed that it was not the disruptive force. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world. In 1969, a Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.

     Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive. That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old people, according to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults.

     If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold. First, the two largest areas of difference - technology and music - are less emotionally charged than political issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in technology rather than to view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older generation generally can relate to that desire. Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as superior to their own generation – clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't trust anyone over thirty!". According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in moral values, work ethics and respect for others.

Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?

A. Different points of view are the main problem between generations in America.

B. Generation gap doesn't cause a big problem in American families.

C. The areas of difference in generation gap have changed over the years.

D. The generation gap in the past was different from that in the modern time.

Câu hỏi 191 :

According to paragraph 3, what are the two reasons why large differences between generations don't cause disagreement?

A. The generosity of the elder generation and the attitude of the younger generation

B. The different styles of music and the knowledge of the elder generation

C. The pride of the elder generation and the obedience of the younger one

D. The major areas of difference between generations and the respect for the elder generation

Câu hỏi 192 :

According to the passage, which is NOT true?

A. Grandparents feel uncomfortable with their grandchildren because of their better technology skills.

B. The majority of Americans agree that there are major differences in generations' viewpoints.

C. The elderly in America are admired in moral values, work ethics and respect for others.

Culture beliefs differ as to whether directness or indirectness is considered positive.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or Don your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.

Living on my own

     When I tell people about the idea of moving out, many people's reaction is like, “what do your parents say?” because they assume parents would not like their children to leave them. I don't know if my parents like it, but they always support and respect my decisions. They think it is good for me to try and live on my own and then I would know it is the best to stay with my family. The most important reason for independent living is to save the travelling time to work. It used to take me one hour fifteen minutes to travel to work from my previous living place.

     From my new apartment, it just takes me thirty minutes, so I saved forty-five minutes' travelling time. I don't have to get up early, and I save two thirds of my traveling cost. In addition, I gain my personal space and freedom by independent living. I make my own decisions; I don't have to say whether I would go home for dinner; I can invite my friends to come and stay late.

     Money is the main issue in living on your own. You have to be responsible for all the expenses. Therefore, you've got to be well prepared and save up for your bills. Although I find my transportation time much shorter, the saved time is spent on other things, such as cooking and other household chores. Preparing and cooking the food do occupy a significant portion of my time, therefore I always try to make simple meals. Moreover, I have to regularly tidy up my apartment and wash my clothes, so it doesn't really save much of my time after all.

     Now I'm getting used to my new life, and I'm enjoying it. I feel that moving out makes it easier for me to strike a balance between my work, my social life, my study and my family. It may be troublesome, but it may be worth it.

Why does the writer want to move out?

A. Because it makes his travelling to work more convenient.

B. Because many people assume that he should live independently.

C. Because his parents do not support and respect his decision.

D. Because his parents would like him to live far from them.

B. It is easier for others, not for him.

C. It enables him to gain balance in life.

Câu hỏi 249 :

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 36 to 42.

     An education pioneer born into rural poverty in Nepal has opened 30 schools in a bid to boost prospects for his country's children.

     The World Bank ranks Nepal as the globe's 31st poorest country, with almost 10 million people living on daily incomes between £1.48 and £2.50. Many rural villages remain unreached by government schooling and adult literacy stood at just 60 percent in 2011.

     Surya Karki and his charity United World Schools Nepal (UWS) are tackling high illiteracy and poverty rates by funding and improving education.

     The first school opened in 2015. Since then 92 percent of children have completed primary education, which finishes at age eight, and continued into secondary education with UWS schools, in comparison to 39 percent of students continuing education who attended government schools.

     Mr Karki was born into poverty in rural Nepal. Speaking to the Telegraph he said: "School is the only solution to the poverty cycle that we live in. I was raised by a single mother in a male-dominated society. The school that I went to was approximately two hours’ walk away. My house was on top of a hill and my mother had to drag me across rivers. We used to walk 10 miles a day. The schooling was really bad."

     Karki's mother was a firm believer in education, and at age eight Karki secured a scholarship to study in the capital, Kathmandu. From there he won scholarships and completed Master's degrees in China and the United States. He returned to Nepal in 2015 and decided to stay and develop the education system. Karki said: "Inequalities in a country can only be decreased if there is access to knowledge."

     The devastating earthquake in 2015 damaged 9,300 schools, displacing hundreds of thousands of families and pushing 700,000 people into poverty. As of January 2018, only 2,891 schools had been rebuilt. Karki said: “We came at a crucial time, where we could redo or undo what had been done badly. Education was really bad in terms of infrastructure, quality of teachers and training. It was an opportunity for us to really make things better."
          UWS Nepal has so far built 30 schools and has seven more in construction. The schools run between 10 am and 3:30 pm, and have an 86 percent average attendance rate, which Karki says is almost double the attendance rate for government schools in the vicinity. Sexual health classes are taught to the children in the later years.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A. It was not easy to be educated by a single mother in a male-dominated society.

B. The disastrous earthquake in 2015 deteriorated the schooling system in Nepal.

C. A man born into poverty in Nepal inspired thousands of children to finish school.

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

     I left school and university with my head packed full of knowledge; enough of it, anyway, to pass all the examinations that were put in my path. As a well-educated man I rather expected my work to be a piece of cake, something at which my intellect would allow me to excel without undue effort. It came as something of a shock, therefore, encounter the world outside for the first time, and to realize that I was ill-equipped, not only for the necessary business of earning a living, but more importantly, for coping with all the new decisions which came my way, in both life and work.

     I was soon to discover that my mind had been trained to deal with closed problems, whereas most of what I now had to deal with were open-ended problems. 'What is the cost of sales?' is a closed problem, one with a right or a wrong answer. 'What should we do about it?' is an open problem, one with any number of possible answers, and I had no experience of taking this type of decision.

     I had been educated in an individualist culture. My scores were mine. No one else into it, except as competitors in some imagined race. I was on my own in the learning game at school and university. Not so in my work, I soon realized. Being an individual star would not help me there if it was in a failing group. I had discovered, rather later than most, the necessity of others.

     So much of the content of what I had learned was irrelevant, while the process of learning it had cultivated a set of attitudes and behaviors which were directly opposed to what seemed to be needed in real life. Although I had studied philosophy, I hadn't applied it to myself. It would be nice to think that our schools today prepare people better for life and for work. The subjects may appear to be a little more relevant, but we are still left to learn about work at work, and about life by living it. I believe we could do more to make sure that the process of education had more in common with the processes of living and working as they are today, so that the shock of reality is less cruel.

What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The necessity of being exposed to the harsh reality.

B. The complexity of the world outside.

C. The urgent need for educational reforms.

D. The gap between education and the real world.

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

     A recent study suggests that teens' relationship with parents, friends and teachers may have a lot to do with why they don't get a good night's sleep.

     David Maume, a sociologist and sleep researcher, analyzed federal health data, which interviewed 974 teenagers when they were 12, and then again at 15. He found that family dynamics have much to do with how well kids sleep. Teens, who had warm relations with their parents and felt like they could talk to them or their parents were supportive of them, tended to sleep better. However, families that were going through a divorce or a remarriage tended to affect teens' sleep.

     And problems at school also affected teens' sleep. Feeling safe at school and having good relations with teachers tended to promote better sleep. As did good relationships with friends. Kids who took part in sports or other positive social activities or shared similar academic goals with their friends were also more likely to get a good night's sleep.

     These add up to what makes lots of sense: a general feeling of well-being helps teens sleep. If we're happy and contented, we're much more likely to sleep better than if we're sad and anxious. Now, of course, teens can hardly resist being drawn to their computers and social networking. Maume also found that when parents were strict not only about bedtime, but also about limiting technology, kids slept better. It's a finding that seems obvious, but parents really do matter when it comes to health habits of their teenagers. Clearly, teenagers aren't getting 9 to 10 hours a night, which puts them at risk for all the consequences of lack of sleep, including poor academic performance, colds and stress.

What is the passage mainly about?

A. It is necessary for teens to join in sports and positive social activities.

B. Lack of adequate sleep puts teens at risk of performing poorly at school

C. Modern technology has something to do with teens' sleep problems.

D. Teens' sleep is linked to their relationship with people around them.

Câu hỏi 287 :

What does the word "them" in the passage refer to?

A. parents

B. family dynamics

C. warm relations

D. teens

Câu hỏi 288 :

According to Maume's analysis, who will probably have a poor night's sleep?

A. Teens who feel like talking with their parents.

B. Teens who lack a sense of security at school.

C. Teens who have friends sharing their dream.

D. Teens who feel contented about themselves.

Câu hỏi 289 :

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct to each of the questions from 29 to 33.

     Recently fans of top soaps, dramas and reality shows in the USA have started to get angry about the number and frequency of the adverts in the middle of the programmes. Sometimes it seems that the adverts are more important than the programmes themselves. For example, American dramas aren't as long as they were in the past. Nowadays in the US, an hour-long drama lasts about 40 minutes, whereas in the 1980s the programmes lasted 48 minutes. The rest is adverts.

     The ABC channel had slightly more adverts than other channels. But recently they've changed, which is even worse than before! Before, all their dramas had four sections. But now its producers separate each programme into six sections. Usually the first section is approximately ten minutes long. Then they have the first break. When people have watched a programme for ten minutes, it’s much less probable that they will stop watching or change channels. But then, in the next 45 minutes, there are four more commercial breaks. Each break is about three and a half minute long.

     All of this makes it much more difficult for dramas writers to write good stories. Quiet scenes make no impact because there are more and more adverts which are longer and longer. “It's OK for game shows or more exciting adventure series." says American TV producer David Kelley. “But for programmes that don't depend on violence or melodramatic scenes, it's more difficult to make a story with six sections. The only thing you can do is be more aggressive, cither with the music or the visual impact, just to attract people's attention after the adverts.”

Which could be the best title of the passage?

A. Adverts turn TV viewers off.

B. Commercial breaks increase productivity.

C. TV commercials are no longer in favour.

D. Modern advertising is an advantage.

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 37 to 43.

     The transition of digital photography from the privilege of rich people to an ordinary home appliance has caused some problems. That is the reason a modern man has a set of questions concerning digital cameras. The basic problem in choosing a digital camera is the guarantee that the device you are purchasing will "grow old" in a couple of months due to constant improvements and developments of technology. The only factor that may delay this process of "growing old" is purchasing a device with the price twice or three times higher than the average market price for a digital camera at the moment. If a person chooses a digital camera, there are several criteria of a great priority he needs to keep in mind: the price and the image resolution of the camera, the capacity of the memory card, the presence of an LCD display, the interface of the device and its weight and size.

     The price of a digital camera depends on its quality factors. The resolution of a digital camera or the "size of a digital image", is measured in pixels which are photosensitive elements. It is common knowledge that the bigger the amount of pixels in the camera properties is the better it is. Therefore, if a high-detailed photo is required, the usage of the zoom on a digital camera with low resolution will not give the desired result. In this case, person choosing a digital camera needs to exactly know what it will be used for and to choose it according to its future destination. It is necessary to mention that the resolution of 640 x 480 is the lowest resolution any customer should be orientated to. It is the minimal resolution with which the purchase of a digital camera still remains reasonable.

     The lens of the camera or the zoom properties allows saving a lot on the price of the device but hits the quality of the pictures. The memory card is a very important issue, too. It is much better to choose a good camera with a small memory capacity than an average digital camera with a larger memory capacity. The presence of an LCD display is no longer a wish. It is a requirement for any digital camera. It allows people to check the future image, to anticipate it and to delete bad images and therefore to save space.

What is the best title for this passage?

A. How to Choose a Digital Camera

B. The Transition of Digital Photoraphy

C. Problems in Purchasing a Camera

D. Elements of a Digital Camera

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.

     Each advance in microscopic technique has provided scientists with new perspectives on the function of living organisms and the nature of matter itself. The invention of the visible-light microscope late in the sixteenth century introduced a previously unknown realm of single-celled plants and animals. In the twentieth century, electron microscopes have provided direct views of viruses and minuscule surface structures. Now another type of microscope, one that utilizes X-rays rather than light or electrons, offers a different way of examining tiny details; it should extend human perception still farther into the natural world.

     The dream of building an X-ray microscope dates to 1895; its development, however, was virtually halted in the 1940's because the development of the electron microscope was progressing rapidly. During the 1940's, electron microscopes routinely achieved resolution better than that possible with a visible-light microscope, while the performance of X-ray microscopes resisted improvement. In recent years, however, interest in X-ray microscopes has revived, largely because of advances such as the development of new sources of X-ray illumination. As a result, the brightness available today is millions of times that of X-ray tubes, which, for most of the century, were the only available sources of soft X-rays.

     The new X-ray microscopes considerably improve on the resolution provided by optical microscopes. They can also be used to map the distribution of certain chemical elements. Some can form pictures in extremely short times; others hold the promise of special capabilities such as three-dimensional imaging. Unlike conventional electron microscopy, X-ray microscopy enables specimens to be kept in air and in water, which means that biological samples can be studied under conditions similar to their natural state. The illumination used, so-called soft X rays in the wavelength range of twenty to forty angstroms (an angstrom is one ten-billionth of a meter), is also sufficiently penetrating to image intact biological cells in many cases. Because of the wavelength of rays used, soft X-ray microscopes will never match the highest resolution possible with electron microscopes. Rather, their special properties will make possible investigations that will complement those performed with light- and electron-based instruments.

What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Sources of illumination for microscopes

B. The detail seen through a microscop

C. Outdated microscopic technique

D. A new kind of microscope

Câu hỏi 403 :

According to the passage, the invention of the visible-light microscope allowed scientists to ________.

Câu hỏi 410 :

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.

     Apples are one of the healthiest foods you can eat every day. A traditional American proverb states: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". But it does not specifically say anything about the best time of day to eat apples. It is generally believed that eating an apple in the morning is good for people, but eating an apple in the evening is like eating poison.

     There is actually a scientific reason behind this belief. One benefit of apples is that they are a favorable source of fructose, which is a natural form of sugar that gives you a big boost of energy. The energy you get from an apple is longer lasting than that provided by a cup of coffee. Clearly, this is something most people would rather experience in the morning than right before bedtime.

     Apples also contain high levels of pectin, a kind of dietary fiber. Fiber stimulates bowel movements, which help maintain the health of your digestive system. But if you eat an apple shortly before going to bed, this can cause problems. While you are asleep, your bowels can fill up with gas, making you feel bloated and uncomfortable. You may also wake up several times to use the bathroom, which will prevent you from getting a good night's sleep.

     Other health benefits of apples come from flavonoids, beta carotene, and B vitamins. Flavonoids are the material that gives flowers and fruits their bright colors, such as the deep red of apples. When eaten, flavonoids can decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other illnesses. Meanwhile, beta carotene helps prevent cancer, and B vitamins provide the body with a wide variety of important benefits. Apparently, starting your day with an apple really can keep the doctor away.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Apples are not as good as people may think.

B. Eating an apple in the morning proves beneficial.

C. Pectin can cause digestive problems at night.

D. Flavonoids are as good as beta carotene.

Câu hỏi 423 :

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

     Robots are useful for exploring and working in space. In particular, many robots have been sent to explore Mars. Such robots have usually looked like a box with wheels. Though these robots are useful, by their very nature they are unreliable, extremely expensive, and they break easily. Also, they cannot do many tasks. Because of these problems, scientists have been developing a new and unusual kind of robot. These new robots move like snakes, so they have been given the name ‘snakebots’.

     The way a snake is shaped lets it get into very small spaces, like cracks in rocks. It can also push its way below the ground or climb up different kinds of objects like high rocks and trees. Such abilities account for the usefulness of a robot designed like a snake. A snakebot would be able to do these things, too, making it much more effective than regular robots with wheels, which easily get stuck or fall over. Since they can carry tools, snakebots would be able to work in space, as well. They could, for example, help repair the International Space Station.

     But how can such a robot shape be made? A snakebot is built like a chain made of about thirty parts, or modules. Each module is basically the same in that they all have a small computer and a wheel to aid movement. The large computer in the "head" of the snake makes all of the modules in a snakebot work together.

     The modular design of the snakebot has many advantages. If one module fails, another can be added easily. Snakebot modules can also carry different kinds of tools, as well as cameras. Since each module is actually a robot in itself, one module can work apart from the rest if necessary. That is, all the modules can separate and move on their own, and then later, reconnect back into a larger robot. Researchers are also trying to develop snakebots made of a special kind of plastic that can change its shape using electricity, almost like animal muscles. Snakebots made with this plastic will be very strong and hard to break.

     Overall, the snakebot design is much simpler than that of common robots. Thus, snakebots will be much less expensive to build. For example, a robot recently sent to Mars cost over a hundred million dollars, whereas snakebots can cost as little as a few hundred dollars. With their versatility and affordability, snakebots seem to be the wave of the future, at least as far as space robots are concerned.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

     The coming decades will witness considerable changes in the way energy is supplied and utilized. In some major oil-producing nations "peak oil" has already been reached, and they are unable to manufacture so much oil as in the past. Consequently, many countries are focusing on the switch to a low carbon economy considering global warming as well. This transition will lead to major changes in the supply and use of electricity. To meet these challenges, countries are investing in Smart Grid technology.

     Smart Grid technology basically involves the application of a computer system to the electricity network. The computer system can be used to collect information about supply and demand. With better information about electricity demand, the network will be able to increase the amount of electricity delivered per unit generated, leading to potential reductions in fuel needs and carbon emissions.

     Smart Grid technology brings benefits to the consumer too. They will be able to collect real-time information on their energy use. Varying tariffs throughout the day will give customers the incentive to use appliances at times when supply greatly exceeds demand, leading to great reductions in bills. Smart meters can also be connected to the internet or telephone system, allowing customers to switch appliances on or off remotely.

     However, we are facing a range of challenges related to these changes. The first involves managing the supply and demand. Sources of renewable energy such as wind, wave and solar are notoriously unpredictable, and nuclear power, which is also set to increase as nations switch to alternative energy sources is inflexible. With oil and gas, it is relatively simple to increase the supply of energy to match the increasing demand during peak times of the day or year. With alternative sources, this is far more difficult, and may lead to blackouts or system collapse. Potential solutions include investigating new and efficient ways to store energy and encouraging consumers to use electricity at off-peak times.

     Another problem is that a number of renewable power generation sources are located in remote areas, such as windy uplands and coastal regions, where there is a lack of electrical infrastructure. New infrastructures therefore must be built. Thankfully, with improved smart technology, this can be done more efficiently by reducing the reinforcement or construction costs.

     Though Smart Technology is still in its infancy, pilot schemes to promote and test it are already underway. Consumers are currently testing the new smart meters which can be used in their homes to manage electricity use. There are also a number of demonstrations being planned to show how the smart technology could practically work and trials are in place to test the new electrical infrastructure. Cities are prime candidates for investment into smart energy, due to the high population density and high energy use it is here where Smart Technology is likely to be promoted first utilising a range of sustainable power sources, transport solutions and an infrastructure for charging electrically powered vehicles. The infrastructure is already changing fast. By the year 2050, changes in the energy supply will have transformed our homes, our roads and our behavior.

According to paragraph 1, what has happened in some oil producing countries?

A. The supply of oil is unpredictable

B. They are unwilling to sell their oil any more

C. They are not producing as much oil as they used to

Câu hỏi 466 :

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or on your answer sheer to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

     Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it. It is directly related to cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex. A person of culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and music. Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education. At least from the 19^thcentury onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values.

     Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national and global cultures. Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city. The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous. Yet this is misleading. While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural patter, the use of the word culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19^thcentury and of development in the 20^thcentury. Cultures evolve or develop. They are not static. They have twists and turns. Styles change. So do fashions. There are cultural processes. What, for example, the word cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman) literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20^thcentury to be central to school and university education. No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture. As cultures express themselves in new forms not everything gets better or more civilized.

     The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define. There is no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one. The only non problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture). Since in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of reference is extremely wide.

What is the best title of the passage?

A. the figurative meanings of the word culture

B. the distinction between culture and civilization

C. the derivatives of the word culture

D. the multiplicity of meanings of the word culture

Câu hỏi 498 :

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.

     Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this water first thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body temperature; neither too hot nor too cold.

     Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps us go to the bathroom more easily.

     Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don't drink all of that water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It's better to drink some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it's better to drink between meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can interfere with normal digestion.

     Are you drinking enough water every duy? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A little more water each day could make you much healthier.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The importance of water

B. The advice of the doctors

C. How to drink water correctly?

D. The best amount of water to drink

Câu hỏi 513 :

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 1 to 7.

     Companies big and small are plotting their post-pandemic working futures, and it seems likely that ever fewer of us will fully return to the office as it was before. If the Covid-19 crisis subsides and economies can largely reopen, the experiences of so many people working from home over the past year will surely shape what happens next. For many of us, this could emerge as a return to the office for three days a week. Patterns will obviously vary, but a common aand Friday at home.

     This coming shift will largely be driven by employers making a calculation between two different, equally important forces. One is what companies see as the need for in-person creativity and connections, which will spur their desire to bring people back into offices. For many, we are at our most creative working face to face, meeting people, talking over lunch and coffee, or gathering in groups. At home, however, we tend to be more efficient in the daily tasks that make up much of working life. This is the competing force that may keep many of us out of the office, even after Covid. Working at home under the right conditions - which means in your own room with good broadband and no children around - can be highly efficient. This greater efficiency on current tasks also combines with other factors, like the time saved by avoiding the daily commute, offering a compelling reason for people to stay at home. The past year of Covid home working has perhaps opened many more people's eyes to this.

     As companies come to decisions on new working arrangements, they will be essentially making a basic trade-off: the expectation of greater creativity in new projects at the office, but greater productivity on existing tasks at home. And, as with most trade-offs, the right answer is not all or nothing - but something in the middle. Employees seem to prefer this working pattern too. In a recent survey of 5,000 employees in Britain, working in the office for three days a week was the most popular choice. Not only is this pattern more efficient for companies, then, but it also helps to keep employees happy and motivated.

Which could be the best title for the passage?

A. Advantages of home working

B. Home working: happier and more efficient

C. Post-pandemic working pattern

D. While-pandemic working pattern

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 following questions from 41 to 45.

In a recent interview with Quartz, an online publication, Bill Gates expressed skepticism about society's ability to manage rapid automation. To prevent a social crisis, he mused, governments should consider a tax on robots; if automation slows as a result, so much the better. It is an intriguing if impracticable idea, which reveals a lot about the challenge of automation. Mr. Gates argues that today's robots should be taxed either their installation, or the profits firms enjoy by saving on the costs of the human labour displaced. The money generated could be used to retrain workers, and perhaps to finance an expansion of health care and education, which provide lots of hard-to-automate jobs in teaching or caring for the old and sick.

Mr. Gates seems to suggest that investment in robots is a little like investing in a coal-fired generator: it boosts economic output but also imposes a social cost, what economists call a negative externality. Perhaps rapid automation threatens to remove workers from old jobs faster than new sectors can absorb them. That could lead to socially costly long-term unemployment, and potentially to support for destructive government policy. A tax on robots that reduced those costs might well be worth implementing, just as a tax on harmful blast-furnace emissions can discourage pollution and leave society better off. Reality, however, is more complex. Investments in robots can make human workers more productive rather than expendable; taxing them could leave the employees affected worse off. Particular workers may suffer by being displaced by robots, but workers as a whole might be better off because prices fall. Slowing the use of robots in health care and herding humans into such jobs might look like a useful way to maintain social stability. But if it means that health-care costs grow rapidly, gobbling up the gains in workers' income.

What could be the best title for the passage?

A. Bill Gates' proposal for taxing robots

B. Bill Gates' opposition to taxing robots

C. Bill Gates' opinion on automation

D. Bill Gates' support for automation

Câu hỏi 602 :

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 39 to 43.

     It was widely reported last year that sales of guidebooks are falling fast, thanks to developments in the Internet and mobile phones. It makes sense. Why bother taking a heavy book with you when you can down all the information you need to your phone as you walk around the cathedral?

     Writing a new book about a place is a rewarding job, but one that is becoming a rarity. Publishers are more concerned with keeping existing books up to date than bringing out new ones in an already crowded market. This is understandable, since every guidebook is actually out of date as soon as it is published. It may have been researched a year before being printed and it could have sat on the bookshop shelf for a year or two, so its information might be three years old by the time the reader uses it in practice. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that some publishers are inviting almost as much in updating and redesigning their books as they did creating them. Updating guides is nowadays a good way for new writers to get started.

     But if the Internet via a mobile phone can deliver information just as well as printed paper but much faster, at almost no cost, is there a future for printed guidebook? Other books you read at home, but a travel guide's main purposes for urgent reference when you're desperate to find accommodation or somewhere to eat. Using a modern cellphone, any traveller can now enjoy a “paperless holiday”. Want to know the opening times of the museum? Look them up online. Need some information on the ancient building you're standing in? Download it.

Which could be the best title for the passage?

A. Guidebooks Flourishing Despite the IT Revolution?

B. Enjoying a Paperless Holiday

C. Guidebooks in Decline: What's the Future?

D. Guidebooks on the Brink of Extinction

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.

     People who daydream are often thought of in negative terms, such as being lazy or not doing what they should be doing. However, scientists who study the brain have learned many interesting things, especially from studying the brains of daydreamers. In fact, far from being a waste of time, some scientists believe that daydreaming is a healthy and useful activity for all of our brains.

     In order to study the brain, scientists use special devices that scan the brain and show pictures of which parts of the brain are active at certain times. By using this technique, they proved that when a person is daydreaming, the device will show a distinct pattern of activity in the brain called the "default" mode of thinking. In the default mode, the top or outside part of the brain is very active. Actually, several regions of the brain are interacting in this mode. Some scientists describe this mode as a time when the brain focuses on itself rather than focusing on the environment around the person. Typically, this occurs when a person is doing simple, tedious work or performing routine actions that don't need much attention, like walking to school or cooking simple foods. People tend to daydream during such activities.

     The importance of daydreaming lies in developing both creative and social skills. When the mind is not engaged in dealing with one's immediate situation or problem, then it is free to wonder about things. A time of wandering allows the mind to create things. New inventions may be imagined, or possible solutions to a problem can be planned. For example, solutions for problems in relationships with other people may come to mind. In fact, most daydreams involve situations with others. Perhaps these are daydreams based on memories of the past, or daydreams of what might be in the future. In either case, daydreams help us develop the appropriate skills we can use in real interactions with others.

     As neurologist Dr. Marcus Raichle of Washington University explains: "When you don't use a muscle, that muscle really isn't doing much. But when your brain is supposedly doing nothing and daydreaming, it's really doing a tremendous amount." During the so-called "resting state" the brain isn't resting at all!

What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. How is daydreaming different from sleeping?

B. Can daydreams reduce the hours we sleep?

C. Who daydreams more, men or women?

D. Why is daydreaming good for people?

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 7 to 11.

     The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues that flesh receives. The most widespread fallacy of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions, explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.

     During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches cold and wet showed no increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second World War, prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp, naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.

     At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be sipped with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.

     If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching cold, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.

A. the reason and the way of catching colds

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 34 to 40.***

     Roman gladiators are intriguing figures in history. We get "gladiator" from the Latin word gladius, which means sword. Gladiators were professional combatants who originally performed, to the death, at Etruscan funerals. The losers became armed attendants in the next world to the person whose funeral was being held.

     In Rome, these exhibitions became very popular and increased in size from 3 pairs at the first known exhibition in 264 B.C. to 300 pairs in the middle of the first century B.C. These spectacles increased to as many as 100 pairs under the emperor Titus, while the emperor Trajan in 107 A.D. had 5,000 pairs of gladiators for his triumph.

     There were various classes of gladiators, distinguished by their arms or modes of fighting. The Samnites fought with the national weapons - a large oblong shield, a visor, a plumed helmet, and a short sword. Thracians had a small round shield, called a buckler. And a dagger curved like a scythe. They usually fought the Mirmillones, who were armed in the Gallic fashion with helmet, sword and shield. Similarly, a Retiarius or net man, was often matched with a Secutor, or pursuer. The net man wore nothing but a short tunic or apron and tried to entangle the fully armed pursuer with the cast net he carried in his right hand. If successful, the net man dispatched the pursuer with a large, three pronged weapon called a trident, which the net man carried in his left. Others fought on horseback, and some carried a short sword in each hand. There were also gladiators who fought from chariots and others who tried to lasso their antagonists.

     Gladiators came from a variety of social classes. Though they were usually slaves and criminals, a ruined man of high social position might hire himself out as a gladiator. Emperor Domitian had unusual gladiators, dwarfs and women, and the half-mad emperor Commodus fought in the arena, where he won his bouts with the aid of his Praetorian Guard.

     To a victorious gladiator was given branches of palm and sometimes money. If they survived a number of combats, they were often freed from gladiatorial service. However, many gladiators reentered after discharge. Some became politically important bodyguards to controversial politicians.

Câu hỏi 749 :

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 36 to 42.

     Times are tough. The nightly news is filled with stories of people who have lost their jobs due to the economic crisis, or lost their homes in a fire or natural disaster. Have you ever seen people who have just endured an awful situation? Some focus on what they have lost, and this is easy to understand. But other people focus on what they did not lose, and they start thinking about a better future.

     One good piece of advice to remember is that you cannot always control situations or other people. The only thing you can control is your own personal reaction to bad situations. Sometimes a situation may really be overwhelming. However, in many cases, you really can influence our own moods by the way you think about negative situations.

     Imagine two families: Both have lost their homes and all their belongings in a devastating storm. One family cannot mask their grief. They feel that everything they hold dear has been destroyed. They cannot imagine how they will ever be able to replace things and start over again. Their normal life seems to have been completely lost. In contrast, a second family is crying with joy. All of the people in their family are unharmed and safe. This family is just happy that everyone has survived. This family is already trying to figure out how they can recover. You can't really blame the first family for experiencing a very normal reaction to a terrible situation. However, the second family certainly seems to be better off. They are thinking about making progress rather than focusing on the tragic events.

     Though this scenario is extreme, everyone experiences setbacks that seem just awful at the time. This could be a job loss, illness, or problems with family members. Nobody gets through life without having some bad things happen. In these situations, try to focus on the steps you can take to remedy the situation, instead of how awful the setback is. By doing this, you will be laying the foundation for a better tomorrow. And you will not suffer as much pain today.

     Actually, controlling how you feel and trying to maintain a positive attitude can help you through many tough situations. The bottom line is, no matter what the problem is, you are more likely to fix it if you can stay positive and work out a plan. Also, never be afraid to seek help when you need it. The advice of a friend, family member, or even a professional may be all it takes to get back on track.

     It may sound like a cliché. While a positive attitude may not be the answer to every problem, it can certainly give you an advantage in surviving most of life's minor setbacks.

According to paragraph 5, what is the major thing you should do when you have troubles?

A. Ask other people for help when necessary.

B. Control your emotions.

C. Be optimistic and make out a plan.

D. Determine how serious the problem is.

     Health promotion and disease prevention programs focus on keeping people healthy. Health promotion programs aim to engage and empower individuals and communities to choose healthy behaviours and make changes that reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and other morbidities. Defined by the World Health Organization, health promotion is: "The process enabling people to increase control over, and to improve their health. It moves beyond a focus on individual behaviour towards a wide range of social and environmental interventions."

     Disease prevention differs from health promotion because it focuses on specific efforts aimed at reducing the development and severity of chronic diseases and other morbidities.

     Wellness is related to health promotion and disease prevention. Wellness is described as the attitudes and active decisions made by an individual that contribute to positive health behaviours and outcomes.

     Health promotion and disease prevention programs often address social determinants of health, which influence modifiable risk behaviours. Social determinants of health are the economic, social, cultural, and political conditions in which people are born, grow, and live that affect health status. Modifiable risk behaviours include, for example, tobacco use, poor eating habits, and lack of physical activity, which contribute to the development of chronic disease.

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.

GREEK THEATER

     Plays are one of the oldest forms of literature we have. Long before there were any novels, people around the world were writing and acting out plays. One society which did much to develop plays as we know them today was the society of the ancient Greeks. Originally Greek plays began as part of a religious festival to the Greek god Dionysus, the god of song, wine, and nature. For the three days of the festival, Greek writers would present their plays. At the end of the three days, judges would choose the best play.

     Greek plays had two forms: tragedy and comedy. Greek tragedies are now by far the most famous form of Greek play. Tragedies focus on a great character, such as a king or a great warrior. During the play, this character would suffer terrible misfortune, until at the end of the play they either were dead or had lost their status. Their fall from their high position was usually caused by some flaw in their personality. For example, in the famous tragedy Oedipus, the main character is searching for the murderer of his father. Throughout the play, he receives many warnings to stop his search, but he refuses to listen. At the end of the play, he discovers that he is actually his father's murderer, and his life is destroyed. In this case, the character's tragic flaw is his stubborn attitude. The Greeks watched tragedies because they believed that they took negative emotions such as fear and disgust out of them and left them emotionally clean. This process was called catharsis.

     Greek comedies were not like the comedies we have today. Greek comedies were not necessarily funny. The basis of a Greek comedy was the opposite of a Greek tragedy, a normal person would enjoy a period of good luck and would rise in status at the end of the play. Greek comedies were less serious than tragedies and were generally used to lighten the mood of the audience after they saw a tragedy.

According to the passage, all of the following are true of Greek plays EXCEPT _________.

A. They began as part of a religious festival

Câu hỏi 837 :

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or Don your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 25 to 29.

     Ever feel like your parents don't understand you at all? I know it sounds horribly stereotypical but you can't deny feeling misunderstood. This is common and it isn't just our teen-angst making us feel like a NOFX song. Parents really just don't understand us; it is as simple as that.

     This lapse of understanding is mainly due to the rather large generation gap between us and our parents. Times have changed, and for some reason, they have a hard time understanding this at times. Back when they were growing up, things that we find socially acceptable were considered horribly inappropriate. For example, guys and girls just hanging out is a lot more common than in the 60's and 70's. And don't even get me started on conduct at dances. Back then a guy politely asked a girl if she would like to dance. Now they just come up behind a girl, grab her and sweep her to the floor, and all this while the girl's wondering, “Do I know him? Is he attractive or what?” In the older days, girls wouldn't have to wildly signal to their friends to help them out of a dance.

     So considering we are a much more desensitized and open generation, it is only fair that people who grew up before us may have a hard time comprehending our actions. And, while I'm not trying to completely justify their intolerance, we do have to understand that it's just new to them. Try explaining what you are doing and remind them that times have changed; in the nicest way possible of course.

What could be the best title for the passage?

A. Comprehending the actions

B. Parents' misunderstanding

C. Large generation

D. Generation gap

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 39 to 45.

     Both native English speakers and non-native speakers find the spelling of English one of its most difficult characteristics. The English spelling system is not based on a phonetic link between sounds and letters, as is the spelling of Spanish and certain other languages. Instead, English spelling is affected by the historical development of the language. Some words are pronounced in several different ways; similarly, different combinations of letters can produce the same pronunciation.

     The six different pronunciations of “ough” provide an outstanding example of the differences between spelling and pronunciation, as in “bough, cough, thorough, thought, through”, and “rough”. The spellings come from a time when “gh” represented a sound that was pronounced. Another difference is the many different spellings of the “sh” sound, as for example in anxious, fission, fuchsia, and ocean.

     The link between sound and spelling in English is not phonetically exact for two main reasons. First, spelling changes did not keep pace with changes in the sound system after the development of printing and of conventions for spelling. For example, the “k” in “knife” and the “gh” in “right” come from the Middle English period (from about 1100 to about 1500), when they were pronounced as separate sounds. Second, there are some spelling conventions that are based on other languages. For example, during the 16th century the 'b' was inserted into the word doubt (formerly spelled “doute”). This reflected the Latin word, “dubitare”, even though the 'b' was not pronounced in English.

     There have been many attempts to reform English spelling. The author and playwright George Bernard Shaw proposed a completely new alphabet, but this had very limited success. American English has developed some of its own spelling conventions, largely as a result of the work of spelling reformer Noah Webster. Webster attempted to remove some of the irregularities from the English spelling system and distance American English from British English. Nevertheless, the system as a whole remains particularly complex, and English is widely regarded as having the worst spelling of any language in the world.

Which best serves as the title for the passage?

A. British and American English.

B. The Development of Printing.

C. A contrast between Sound and Spelling.

D. English Spelling.

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 31 to 35.

Vietnam's population is ageing quickly. In 2017, more than 10 percent of the population will be 60 and older, and in 15-20 years the elderly will account for one-third of the total population. This raises concerns about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly at a time when Vietnam is focusing on economic integration and requires a large labor force. So far two solutions have been proposed to loosen the two-child policy and to increase the retirement age to 58 for women and 62 for men. By ending the two-child policy the government expects to make up for the ageing population within the next 20 years. But its effect could be creating an uncontrollable boom in the Vietnamese population. When the government loosened the two child policy in 2015 in a trial period, in the first 6 months of 2016 the third childbirth rate increased remarkably by 7.5 percent.

Raising the retirement age has been proposed by the Ministry of Labor pending parliamentary evaluation in May 2017. While the policy is beneficial in utilizing the work experience of the elderly while creating savings in the pension budget, it also means fewer job prospects and promotion opportunities for younger generations. It is also not in the interest of all the elderly, especially the 70 percent of Vietnam's labor force working in manual labor-intensive sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and construction in which working above the age of 50 can be at risk and unproductive. Despite these drawbacks, raising the retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key solutions to the ageing population problem in Vietnam. However, these are only temporary solutions.

The best title for this passage could be ________.

A. Stopping the Two-child Policy in Vietnam

B. Raising the Retirement Age in Vietnam

C. How to Solve the Aging Population in Vietnam

D. Vietnam's Struggle against Ageing Population

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 36 to 42.

     In our connected globalized world, the languages which dominate communications and business, are placing small languages spoken in remote places under increasing pressure. Fewer and fewer people speak languages such as Liki, Taushiro and Dumi as their children shift away from the language of their ancestors towards languages that promise education, success, and the chance of a better life.

     While to many parents, this may appear a reasonable choice, giving their offspring the opportunity to achieve the sort of prosperity they see on television, the children themselves often lose touch with their roots. However, in many places, the more reasonable option of bilingualism, where children learn to speak both a local and a national language, is being promoted. While individuals are free to choose if they wish to speak a minority language, national governments should be under no obligation to provide education in an economically unproductive language, especially in times of budget constraints.

     Furthermore, governments have a duty to ensure that young people can fulfill their full potential, meaning that state education must provide them with the ability to speak and work in their national language and so equip them to participate responsibly in national affairs. People whose language competence does not extend beyond the use of a regional tongue have limited prospects. This means that while many people may feel a sentimental attachment to their local language, their government's position should be one of benign neglect, allowing people to speak the language, but not acting to prevent its eventual disappearance.

     Many Ph.D. students studying minority languages lack the resources to develop their language skills, with the result that they have to rely on interpreters and translators to communicate with speakers of the language they are studying. This has a detrimental effect on the quality of their research. At the same time, they have to struggle against the frequently expressed opinion that minority languages serve no useful purpose and should be allowed to die a natural death. Such a view fails to take into account the fact that a unique body of knowledge and culture, built up over thousands of years, is contained in a language and that language extinction and species extinction are different facets of the same process. They are part of an impending global catastrophe which is beginning to look unavoidable.

Which of the following could best serve as the main topic of the passage?

A. The domination of business languages for some parts of the world.

B. The trend of young generation in choosing a second language.

C. The reasons for the decrease in the number of local languages speakers.

D. The comparison of national languages in the past and the modern world.

C. They encounter several obstacles in understanding the language with the interpreters

D. Their qualified research is unlikely to accomplish due to the local people's ignorance.

Câu hỏi 904 :

Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

Since 2006, anyone aged 13 and older has been allowed to become a registered user of Facebook though variations exist in the minimum age requirement, depending on applicable local laws.

     Over 25 million people in the UK use Facebook. That's 45% of the population! And on average, each user spends over six hours a month on Facebook. Though not the highest, this is a considerable number. Is Facebook a dangerous obsession or just harmless fun? Seventeen-year-old Bethan has written on her blog about what it was like to stop using Facebook.

     “I think I am a Facebook addict. I log on to Facebook every day to chat with my friends - real friends and loads of online friends. Sometimes I have ten conversations going at the same time, and I update my Facebook profile all the time. But recently I've started to feel worried if I am offline for more than a few hours. And then last week I forgot to meet a real friend because I was online! I've realized I could have a problem. So I've decided to give it up for a while.”

     “I found it really hard. Facebook and my friends demanded to know why I had left. I spent the first few evenings wondering what everyone was chatting about on Facebook. I even phoned a couple of friends to find out. The fourth night wasn't so bad. I actually concentrated on my homework better, and I spoke to my friends during the day at school. At the end of the first week, I reactivated my accounts. I think Facebook is fun and it's useful for posting messages to friends and sharing photos. But I'll try not to spend so much time on it in the future.”

From the expectations for students interacting with their teachers, to the manner in which they relate with one another, to the language and topics considered appropriate for teachers and students to discuss, to the overall structure of interaction within a classroom - culture affects perceptions of competent classroom interaction.

     Students from collectivistic cultures, such as those of Japan, Korea, and China, are generally more accepting of messages about appropriate classroom behaviors and will comply with teachers' requests about classroom management. Even the nature of teachers' persuasive messages differs across cultures. Chinese college teachers, for instance, appeal to the group in gaining student compliance, whereas European American teachers, with a cultural preference for individualism, stress the benefit to the specific student.

     Classroom displayed and participation also vary greatly across cultures. Donal Carbaugh, who studies how culture is displayed in people's conversations, makes a comparison between European American expectations for classroom interaction and those of the Blackfeet, one of the Native American tribes in the United States. It is easy to imagine a classroom with a European American teacher and students from both cultures; the European American students would, in all likelihood, feel much more comfortable and would thus have a better learning experience. Similarly, many Native American and Asian American students are unwilling to volunteer, speak out, or raise problems or concerns unless the teacher specifically calls on them by name. Korean students, for instance, are often unwilling to talk with their teachers even when the teachers have incorrectly calculated the students' scores on an exam. Questions for clarification are rarely asked of the teacher directly; to do so might be regarded as a challenge to the teacher's authority and could threaten her or his face should the answer not be known.

     Students from many cultures who go to school in the United States sometimes find it difficult to adapt to the verbal style expected of them. Conversely, when U.S. students study overseas, they often experience similar difficulties in understanding the cultural expectations related to the educational context. Yet a willingness to speak in class is a communication characteristic highly valued by European American teachers and students, whose cultural framework celebrates individual achievement and responsibility. However, to students from cultures that emphasize the collective good and the maintenance of face, such behaviors in the classroom are too competitive, as they disrupt the group's harmony and separate people from one another.
