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.

Most of the early houses built in America were suited to farm life, as it was not until cities became manufacturing centers that colonists could survive without farming as their major occupation. Among the earliest farmhouses in America were those built in Plymouth Colony. Generally they consisted of one large rectangular room on the ground floor, called a hall or great room and having a fireplace built into one of the walls, and a loft overhead. Sometimes a lean-to was attached alongside the house to store objects such as spinning wheels, firewood, barrels, and tubs. The furnishings in the great room were sparse and crudely built. Tabletops and chest boards were split or roughly sawed and often smoothed only on one side. Benches took the place of chairs, and the table usually had a trestle base so it could be dismantled when extra space was required. One or two beds and a six-board chest were located in one corner of the room. The fireplace was used for heat and light, and a bench often placed nearby for children and elders, in the area called the inglenook.

The original houses in Plymouth Colony were erected within a tall fence for fortification. However, by 1630 Plymouth Colony had 250 inhabitants, most living outside the enclosure. By 1640, settlements had been built some distance from the original site. Villages began to emerge throughout Massachusetts and farmhouses were less crudely built. Windows brought light into homes and the furnishings and décor were more sophisticated.

As more diversified groups of immigrants settled the country, a greater variety of farmhouses appeared, from Swedish long-style houses in the Delaware Valley to saltbox houses in Connecticut, Dutch-Flemish stone farmhouses in New York, and clapboard farmhouses in Pennsylvania. From Georgian characteristics to Greek revival elements, farmhouses of varied architectural styles and building functions populated the landscape of the new frontier.

Ý chính của đoạn văn này là gì?

A. Máy phát hiện nói dối phân biệt các cảm xúc khác nhau

B. Các phản ứng vật lí tiết lộ phạm tội

C. Máy phát hiện nói dối làm những người vô tội trở nên căng thẳng

D. Cách mà máy phát hiện nói dối được dùng và độ tin cậy của chúng

Dịch bài đọc:

Mặc dù các chính phủ, sở cảnh sát và doanh nghiệp đang sử dụng các "máy dò nói dối" đều muốn đảm bảo cách phát hiện sự thật, kết quả không phải lúc nào cũng chính xác. Máy phát hiện nói dối được gọi là máy dò cảm xúc, vì mục đích của chúng là để đo lường những thay đổi cơ thể mâu thuẫn với những gì người ta nói.

Máy phát hiện nói dối ghi lại sự thay đổi nhịp tim, thở, huyết áp, và hoạt động điện của da (đáp ứng da galvanic, hoặc GSR). Trong phần đầu của bài kiểm tra thử, bạn đã kết nối điện tử với máy và được hỏi một vài câu hỏi trung lập ("Bạn tên gì?", "Bạn sống ở đâu?"). Phản ứng thể chất của bạn là tiêu chuẩn (đường cơ sở) để đánh giá điều gì sẽ xảy ra tiếp theo. Sau đó bạn được hỏi một số câu hỏi quan trọng trong số những người trung lập ("Bạn đã đánh cắp ngân hàng khi nào?"). Giả định là nếu bạn có tội, cơ thể của bạn sẽ tiết lộ sự thật, ngay cả khi bạn cố gắng từ chối nó. Nhịp tim, hô hấp và GSR sẽ thay đổi đột ngột khi bạn trả lời các câu hỏi bắt buộc.

Đó là lý thuyết; nhưng các nhà tâm lý học đã phát hiện ra rằng các máy dò nói dối chỉ đơn giản là không đáng tin cậy. Vì hầu hết các thay đổi về cơ thể đều giống nhau trong tất cả các cảm xúc, máy móc không thể nói cho dù bạn cảm thấy có lỗi, tức giận, hồi hộp, kích động, hay phô trương thành một ngày thú vị. Người vô tội có thể căng thẳng và lo lắng về toàn bộ thủ tục. Họ có thể phản ứng về mặt sinh lý với một từ nhất định ("ngân hàng") không phải vì họ đã cướp nó, mà vì họ vừa bị trả về một cái séc. Trong cả hai trường hợp máy sẽ ghi lại một "nói dối". Sai lầm ngược lại cũng phổ biến. Một số chuyên gia nói dối có thể nói dối mà không bị châm chích, và những người khác học cách đánh bại máy bằng cách căng cơ hoặc suy nghĩ về một trải nghiệm thú vị trong các câu hỏi trung lập.

Dịch bài đọc:

Hầu hết các ngôi nhà được xây dựng ở Mỹ đều phù hợp với đời sống nông trại, cho đến khi các thành phố trở thành các trung tâm sản xuất mà người thực dân vẫn có thể sống sót mà không có nông nghiệp như là nghề chính. Trong số những ngôi nhà trên trang trại đầu tiên ở Mỹ là những ngôi nhà được xây dựng ở Plymouth Colony. Nói chung chúng bao gồm một phòng hình chữ nhật lớn ở tầng trệt, được gọi là hội trường hoặc phòng lớn và có lò sưởi được dựng trong một trong những bức tường, và một cái gác xép trên cao. Đôi khi một chái nhà được gắn bên cạnh nhà để chứa đồ vật như bánh xe quay, củi, thùng, và chậu bồn. Đồ đạc trong phòng lớn thưa thớt và được dựng một cách thô kệch. Các tấm lót và bảng ván đã được cắt hoặc xẻ thô và thường chỉ được làm mịn ở một bên. Ghế dài thay thế cho ghế tựa, và bàn thường có một cái chân mễ (để kê phản) để nó có thể được tháo dỡ khi T cần thêm không gian. Một hoặc hai giường và một cái bục sáu tấm được đặt ở một góc phòng. Lò sưởi được sử dụng để sưởi ấm và lấy ánh sáng, và một băng ghế dài được đặt gần đó cho trẻ em và người cao tuổi, trong khu vực được gọi ngách lò sưởi. Những ngôi nhà đầu tiên ở Plymouth Colony được dựng lên trong hàng rào cao để thêm vững chắc. Tuy nhiên, vào năm 1630 Plymouth Colony đã có 250 cư dân, hầu hết sống ngoài khu vực được rào lại. Đến năm 1640, các khu định cư đã được xây dựng cách một khoảng cách từ địa điểm ban đầu. Các làng bắt đầu nổi lên khắp tiểu bang Massachusetts và các nhà trên trang trại đã được xây dựng ít thô kệch hơn. Cửa sổ mang ánh sáng vào nhà, đồ đạc và trang trí tinh vi hơn. Khi nhiều nhóm người nhập cư định cư ở nước này, nhiều ngôi nhà trên trang trại đã xuất hiện, từ các ngôi nhà kiểu dáng dài Thụy Điển ở Thung lũng Delaware đến các nhà theo kiểu saltbox tại Connecticut, các nhà trên trang trại bằng đá Hà Lan ở New York và các ngôi nhà trên trang trại kiểu ván tường ở Pennsylvania. Từ các đặc tính của Gruzia đến các yếu tố phục hưng của Hy Lạp, các ngôi nhà trên trang trại có phong cách kiến trúc đa dạng và các chức năng xây dựng đã tạo ra cảnh quan của biên giới mới.

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 35 to 42.

The green building movement, started in the 1970s as a way to reduce environmental destruction, is changing the way buildings are constructed. In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and their goals of reducing the environmental impact of buildings were considered unrealistic. Now, however, the movement is growing, as builders have been able to take advantage of new technology.

Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in dumps. Also, they reduce environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a building. One way is to provide an alternative, non-polluting source of energy. First, with solar panels, it is possible to produce electricity from the rays of the sun. Once installed, they provide energy at no cost and with no pollution.

Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building. It is possible to cut electricity use noticeably by improving natural lighting and installing low-energy light bulbs. To reduce the amount of fuel needed for heating or cooling, builders also add insulation to the walls so that the building stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most environmentally responsible office building in America. Every aspect of the design and building had to consider two things: the need for a safe and pleasant workplace for employees and the need to lessen the negative environmental impact. 75 percent of the building materials were recycled materials, and the energy use has been reduced by 43 percent and water use by 32 percent, compared with other buildings of the same size.

In other parts of the world, several large-scale projects have recently been developed according to green building principles. One of these is in Vauban, Germany, in an area that was once the site of army housing. The site has been completely rebuilt with houses requiring 30 percent less energy than conventional ones. These houses, heated by special non-polluting systems, are also equipped with solar panels.

A larger project is under way in China. The first phase of this project will include houses for 400 families built with solar power, non-polluting bricks, and recycled wall insulation. In a second phase, entire neighborhoods in six cities will be built. If all goes well, the Chinese government plans to copy these ideas in new neighborhoods across China.

Green building ideas, on a small or large scale, are spreading. Individuals, companies, and governments are beginning to see their benefits. Not only are they environmentally friendly, green buildings improve living and working conditions and also save money in the long run.

(Adapted from “Advanced Reading Power” by Beatrice S. Mikulecky and Linda Jeffries)

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 7 as a merit of green buildings?

A. Improving living conditions.

B. Proving more economical eventually.

C. Being friendly to the environment.
