Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

The concept of obtaining fresh water from iceberg that is towed to populated areas and arid regions of the world was once treated as a joke more appropriate to cartoons than real life. But now it is being considered quite seriously by many nations, especially since scientists have warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than it runs out of food. Glaciers are a possible source of fresh water that has been overlooked until recently. (A)

Three-quarters of the Earth's fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice, a reservoir of untapped fresh water so immense that it could sustain all the rivers of the world for 1,000 years. Floating on the oceans every year are 7,659 trillion metric tons of ice encased in 10,000 icebergs that break away from the polar ice caps, more than ninety percent of them from Antarctica. (B)

Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs throughout the year. Icebergs are not like sea ice, which is formed when the sea itself freezes; rather, they are formed entirely on land, breaking off when glaciers spread over the sea. As they drift away from the polar region, icebergs sometimes move mysteriously in a direction opposite to the wind, pulled by subsurface currents. Because they melt more slowly than smaller pieces of ice, icebergs have been known to drift as far north as 35 degrees south of the equator in the Atlantic Ocean. (C)

The difficulty arises in other technical matters, such as the prevention of rapid melting in warmer climates and the funneling of fresh water to shore in great volume. But even if the icebergs lost half of their volume in towing, the water they could provide would be far cheaper than that produced by desalination, or removing salt from water. (D)

Question 41: Which is the best place where the following sentence will most properly fit?

“To corral them and steer them to parts of the world where they are needed would not be too difficult.”

A. (A)

B. (B)

Đáp án C

Dịch nghĩa: Đâu là vị trí tốt nhất để đặt câu sau:

“To corral them and steer them to parts of the world where they are needed would not be too diﬂicult.” - Việc dồn lại và chuyển chúng đến những vùng trên trái đất nơi mà chúng đang được cần sẽ không phải quá khó khăn.

A. (A) B. (B) C. (C) D. (D)

Giải thích:

Không đặt ở vị trí A vì cả đoạn một chỉ nói về quan niệm lấy nước ngọt từ băng trước và nay thay đổi như nào, không liên quan đến câu cần cho.

Không đặt ở vị tri B vì đoạn 2 nói về lượng nước ngọt nằm trong băng, không liên quan.

Không đặt ở vị trí D vì đoạn cuối nói về hiệu quả kinh tế của việc lấy nước ngọt từ băng so với các phương thức khác, không nói gì đến việc có chuyển được hay không.

Nên đặt ở vị trí C vì đoạn 3 nói về khoảng cách mà băng có thể di chuyển được, chèn thêm câu về việc chuyển băng sẽ không phải là chuyện khó khăn thì hoàn toàn hợp lí.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

Diversity is a hallmark of life, an intrinsic feature of living systems in the natural world. The demonstration and celebration of this diversity is an endless rite. Look at the popularity of museums, zoos, aquariums and botanic gardens. The odder the exhibit, the more different it is from the most common and familiar life forms around us, the more successful it is likely to be. Nature does not tire of providing oddities for people who look for them. Biologists have already formally classified 1.7 million species. As many as 30 to 40 million more may remain to be classified. (1)

Most people seem to take diversity for granted. If they think about it at all they assume it exists in endless supply. Nevertheless, diversity is endangered as never before in its history. Advocates of perpetual economic growth treat living species as expendable. As a result an extinction crisis of unprecedented magnitude is under way. Worse yet, when diversity needs help most, it is neglected and misunderstood by much of the scientific community that once championed it. (2)

Of the two great challenges to the legitimacy of this diversity, the familiar one comes primarily from economists. Their argument, associated with such names as Julian Simon, Malcolm McPherson and the late Herman Kahn, can be paraphrased: "First, if endangered species have a value as resources - which has been greatly exaggerated - then we should be able to quantify that value so that we can make unbiased, objective decisions about which species, if any, we should bother to save, and how much the effort is worth. Secondly, the global threat to the diversity of species, particularly in the tropics, has been overestimated. Thirdly, we have good substitutes for the species and ecosystems that are being lost, and these substitutes will nullify the damage caused by the extinctions". (3)

The structure of the argument seems to me to be identical in form to that of an old joke from the American vaudeville circuit. One elderly lady complained to another about her recent vacation at a resort in the Catskill Mountains in New York State. "The food was terrible", she moaned. "Pure poison, I couldn't eat a bite. And the portions were so tiny!" (4)

Species may be valuable, but not especially so, and the threat to them has been exaggerated. But this does not matter anyway, say the economists, because we can replace any species that vanishes.(5)

It is not clear how much of an impact this argument has on the informed public, but it has certainly provoked an outcry among scientific conservationists. It has set the terms for, and dominated, most of the pro-diversity literature of the past few years, making it a literature of response, thus limiting its scope and creative force.

Question 42: The position of the scientific conservationists has been weakened because they have _________.

A. adopted the economists' arguments.

B. failed to communicate with public.

C. lost the initiative in the debate.

D. protested too loudly.

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 26 to 30.

Being repeatedly late may just be accidental – or could it show a deeply rooted psychological desire to express your own superiority? When I worked in an office, meetings would often start late, usually because of a certain individual. Then they would overrun and the whole day lost its shape. But the individual was high-ranking and self-important: nobody challenged. So what are the ethics of lateness?

There’s a psychotherapist called Irvin Yalom who argues that all behaviour reflects psychology. Just as people who like to be on time are motivated by certain deep-seated beliefs, so those who make others wait are acting out an inner agenda, often based on an acute sense of power. There’s famous footage in which Silvio Berlusconi kept Angela Merkel waiting while he made a call on his mobile. It speaks volumes.

But that is when all lateness is in one’s control. What about when your train is cancelled or your flight is delayed or you had to wait longer for the plumber to arrive? In such cases, there’s not a lot of psychology involved. Or is there? Some people will genuinely worry about the impact it will have on those left waiting, while others might secretly enjoy the power of their absence.

The essential fact is that lateness means breaking a convention – you can only be late in respect of a time agreed with other people. Regardless of psychology, it has a social value. And when we treat other people’s time as less valuable than our own, we treat them as inferior

It can be inferred from the reading passage that _______.

A. Berlusconi made Merkel wait as he wanted to show his importance

B. it is fashionable to be late to meetings because nobody challenges

C. the writer’s daily schedule was unaffected by his colleague’s lateness

D. nothing can be said about one’s psychology if lateness is out of control

Tạm dịch: Do đó, nếu ký ức thời thơ ấu có thể tồn tại vào năm thứ chín hoặc thứ mười của cuộc đời, họ có thể có cơ hội chuyển nó sang tuổi trưởng thành.

Dịch bài đọc:

Hầu hết người trưởng thành đấu tranh để nhớ lại các sự kiện từ vài năm đầu đời và bây giờ các nhà khoa học đã xác định chính xác khi nào những ký ức tuổi thơ này bị mất mãi mãi. Một nghiên cứu mới về chứng mất trí nhớ thời thơ ấu đã phát hiện ra rằng nó có xu hướng có hiệu lực vào khoảng bảy tuổi. Sự suy giảm nhanh chóng của ký ức vẫn tồn tại trong khi trẻ em năm và sáu tuổi là do sự thay đổi trong cách hình thành ký ức.

Trước 7 tuổi, trẻ có xu hướng nhớ lại ký ức chưa trưởng thành mà không có cảm giác về thời gian và địa điểm trong ký ức. Tuy nhiên, ở trẻ lớn hơn, các sự kiện được nhớ lại sớm có xu hướng trưởng thành hơn như trong nội dung của chúng và cách chúng được hình thành. Tốc độ quên nhanh hơn ở trẻ em và lượng ký ức cao hơn có nghĩa là những ký ức ban đầu ít có khả năng tồn tại. Bên cạnh đó, ký ức của trẻ nhỏ có xu hướng thiếu tính tự sự dẫn đến một quá trình được gọi là phục hồi gây ra quên lãng trong đó hành động ghi nhớ khiến thông tin khác bị lãng quên. Do đó, nếu ký ức thời thơ ấu có thể tồn tại vào năm thứ chín hoặc thứ mười của cuộc đời, bọn trẻ có thể có cơ hội chuyển nó sang tuổi trưởng thành
