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.

In ancient Greece, athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious associations. The Olympic athletic festival, held every four years in honour of Zeus, eventually lost its local character, became first a national event, and then, after the rules against foreign competitors had been abolished, international. No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go, but some official records date from 776 B.C.

The Games took place in August on the plain by Mount Olympus. Many thousands of spectators gathered from all parts of Greece, but no married woman was admitted even as a spectator. Slaves, women and dishonoured people were not allowed to compete. Records show that the evening of the third day was devoted to sacrificial offerings to the heroes of the day, and the fourth day, that of the full moon, was set aside as a holy day. On the sixth and last day all the victors were crowned with holy garlands of wild olive from a sacred wood. So great was the honour that the winner of the foot race gave his name to the year of his victory. How their results compared with modern standards, we unfortunately had no means of telling.

After an uninterrupted history of almost 1,200 years, the Games were abolished in A. D. 394 because of their pagan origin. It was a great many years before there was another such international athletic gathering. The Greek institution was brought back into existence in 1896 and the first small meeting took place in Athens. After the 1908 London Olympics, success was re-established and nations sent their best representatives.

Today, the Games are held in different countries in turn. The host country provides vast facilities, including a stadium, swimming pools and living accommodation, but competing countries pay their own athletes' expenses. Athletic contests are still the main feature, but now many more sports are represented, women compete, the ancient pentathlon, for example, has been modified into a more comprehensive test, and the marathonraces, initiated in 1896, are now a celebrated event.

The Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch, lighted on Mount Olympus by the sun's rays. It is carried by a succession of runners to the stadium. The torch symbolizes the continuation of the ancient Greek athletic ideals, and it burns throughout the Games until the closing ceremony.

The modern Olympics compared with the ancient ones are ________.

A. inspired by the same ideas

B. more restricted in the variety of events

C. different in every respect

D. too much concerned with international rivalry

Đáp án A

Dịch nghĩa: Olympics hiện đại khi so với cổ đại thì ___________.

A. được truyền cảm hứng từ cùng ý tưởng

B. hạn chế hơn về sự đa dạng của các sự kiện

C. khác ở mọi khía cạnh

D. quan tâm quá nhiều đến sự tranh đua giữa các nước.

Giải thích: Ở đoạn gần cuối “Athletic contests are still the main feature, but now many more sports are represented, women compete, the ancient pentathlon, for example, has been modified into a more comprehensive test, and the marathon races, initiated in 1896, are now a celebrated event.” Các phương án như ít môn thi hơn, khác ở mọi khía cạnh là sai.

Bài dịch

Ở Hy Lạp cổ đại, các lễ hội thể thao đóng vai trò rất quan trọng và có liên kết tôn giáo mạnh mẽ. Lễ hội thể thao Olympic, được tổ chức bốn năm một lần để tưởng nhớ thần Dớt, thậm chí mất đi tính địa phương, để thành một sự kiện quốc gia đầu tiên, và sau đó là quốc tế, sau khi quy định cấm người ngoại quốc tham dự bị bãi bỏ. Không ai biết chính xác Thế vận hội Olympic có từ bao giờ, nhưng một số hồ sơ chính thống ghi lại là từ 776 trước công nguyên.

Thế vận hội diễn ra vào tháng tám trên đồng bằng gần núi Olympus. Hàng ngàn khán giả từ tất cả các vùng miền của Hy Lạp đổ xô về, nhưng phụ nữ đã lập gia đình không được chấp nhận, thậm chí dù chỉ là một khán giả. Nô lệ, phụ nữ và người không theo đạo không được phép thi đấu. Ghi chép cho thấy rằng những buổi tối của ngày thứ ba được dành cho việc cúng tế các anh hùng ngày hôm đó, và ngày thứ tư, trăng tròn, được dành trọn như một ngày lễ. Vào ngày thứ sáu và ngày cuối cùng tất cả những người chiến thắng được trao vương miện với những vòng nguyệt quế từ hoa thánh ôliu hoang dã từ rừng thiêng. Niềm danh dự tuyệt vời đến nỗi tên của người chiến thắng trong cuộc đua được đặt tên cho năm đó. Thành tích của họ ngày đó so với ngày nay như thế nào, thì thật đáng tiếc là không có cơ sở nào để nhận xét.

Sau gần 1.200 năm lịch sử không gián đoạn, thế vận hội bị bãi bỏ vào năm 394 sau Công nguyên, vì 1í do ngoại giáo. Đến rất lâu sau đó mới có một cuộc thi điền kinh được tổ chức lại. Thế vận hội Hy Lạp đã được đưa trở lại vào năm 1896 và cuộc họp nhỏ đầu tiên diễn ra tại Athens. Sau năm 1908 Thế vận hội London, thành công được lập lại và các quốc gia cử những đại diện giỏi nhất của họ đến tham gia.

Ngày nay, Thế vận hội được tổ chức lần lượt ở các nước khác nhau. Nước chủ nhà cung cấp cơ sở vật chất bao gồm sân vận động, bể bơi và nơi sinh hoạt, nhưng các quốc gia tham dự phải tự trả chi phí. Thi điền kinh vẫn là chính, nhưng cũng có thêm nhiều môn khác được cho vào, ví dụ như cuộc thi phối hợp cổ xưa của phụ nữ được thay đổi thành một môn toàn diện hơn, và chạy marathon bắt nguồn từ 1896 nay đã là một sự kiện rất nổi tiếng.

Thế Vận hội bắt đầu với sự xuất hiện của một ngọn đuốc trong sân vận động, thắp trên đỉnh Olympus bằng ánh nắng mặt trời. Nó được đoàn vận động viên đưa đến sân vận động. Ngọn đuốc tượng trưng cho sự tiếp tục của những lý tưởng thể thao Hy Lạp cổ đại, và nó chảy suốt giai đoạn diễn ra thế vận hội cho đến khi bế mạc

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.
 
It is estimated that by 2050 more than two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities, up from about 54 percent today. While the many benefits of organized and efficient cities are well understood, we need to recognize that this rapid, often unplanned urbanization brings risks of profound social instability, risks to critical infrastructure, potential water crises and the potential for devastating spread of disease. These risks can only be further exacerbated as this unprecedented transition from rural to urban areas continues.
How effectively these risks can be addressed will increasingly be determined by how well cities are governed. The increased concentration of people, physical assets, infrastructure and economic activities mean that the risks materializing at the city level will have far greater potential to disrupt society than ever before.
Urbanization is by no means bad by itself. It brings important benefits for economic, cultural and societal development. Well managed cities are both efficient and effective, enabling economies of scale and network effects while reducing the impact on the climate of transportation. As such, an urban model can make economic activity more environmentally-friendly. Further, the proximity and diversity of people can spark innovation and create employment as exchanging ideas breeds new ideas.
But these utopian concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization. For example, one of the main factors is rural-urban migration, driven by the prospect of greater employment opportunities and the hope of a better life in cities. But rapidly increasing population density can create severe problems, especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to cope with the influx of new inhabitants. The result may, in extreme cases, be widespread poverty. Estimates suggest that 40% of the world's urban expansion is taking place in slums, exacerbating socio-economic disparities and creating unsanitary conditions that facilitate the spread of disease.
The Global Risks 2015 Report looks at four areas that face particularly daunting challenges in the face of rapid and unplanned urbanization: infrastructure, health, climate change, and social instability. In each of these areas we find new risks that can best be managed or, in some cases, transferred through the mechanism of insurance.
