Question III. Read the paragraph and choose the right answer (5 points)

            The idea of a driverless car is not new. Now there are already cars on the road that can park themselves. But a truly self- driving car, one that can drive itself is being tested by scientists and engineers.

            Self- driving cars have already tested on public roads. These cars not only record images of the road, but their computerized maps view road signs, find alternative routes and see traffic lights even before they are seen by a person. By using radars and cameras, the cars can analyze information about their surroundings faster than a human can.

            In some of the tests, the car learn the details of a road by driving on it several times, and when it is time to drive itself, it can identify when there are pedestrians crossing and then stops to let them pass by. Self- driving cars could make transport safer for all of us eliminating the cause of most today's accidents.

            Although self- driving cars may seem far off, some people believe that there will be driverless cars in showrooms in about 10 years.

1- What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Self- driving car: a far off image.                     B. The prospect of driverless cars.

C. Computerized maps in cars.                              D. Safer transport in the future.

Read the following passage and then choose the best answer for each question by circling the corresponding letter A, B, C or D from 2 to 9.

Today’s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today. Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane. Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available.

Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes and trolleys.

As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars. Public charging facilities will need to be as common as today’s gas stations. Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert. To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centers might be reserved for electric cars.

Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighborhood vehicles all meeting at transit centers that would have facilities for charging and renting. Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today.

Finally, after much trial and error, it seems as though they might be making progress, and the future of the car industry is beginning to look a little “greener”. One of the first ideas which car manufacturers tried was to replace engines which run on fossil fuels with electric motors.

Also, the replacement energy parts were very expensive. However, the idea of electric cars has not been scrapped altogether. Car manufacturers have improved the concept so that environmentally friendly cars can now be efficient and economical as well. This is where the hybrid car, which has both an electric motor and a traditional petrol engine, comes in. The electric motor never needs to be recharged and it is much better for the planet than a traditional car. In a hybrid car, the engine is controlled by a computer which determines whether the car runs on petrol, electricity, or both. When the car needs maximum power, for example, if it is accelerating or climbing a steep hill, it uses all of its resources, whereas at steady speeds it runs only on petrol. When slowing down or braking, the electric motor recharges its batteries. Hybrid cars are better for the environment because the electric motor can help out whenever it is needed and they have a much smaller engine than a traditional car. Also, hybrid cars on the market are made using materials such as aluminium and carbon fibre, which makes them extremely light. Both of these factors mean that they use far less petrol than normal cars, so they produce less pollution. Of course, hybrid cars aren’t perfect; they still run on fossil fuel and so pollute the environment to some extent. However, they may be the first step along the road to cleaner, “greener” cars. Car manufacturers are already working on vehicles which run on hydrogen. The only emission from these cars is harmless water vapor.

GREEN CARS

  Many of the world’s cities lie under a permanent blanket of smog. People are concerned about global warming, and fuel prices just keep going up and up. It’s no surprise therefore, that in recent years, car manufacturers have been put under pressure to invent a vehicle that is both cheaper to run and better for the environment. Finally, after much trial and error, it seems as though they might be making progress, and the future of the car industry is beginning to look a little “greener”.

  One of the first ideas which car manufacturers tried was to replace engines which run on fossil fuels with electric motors. Unfortunately, these vehicles had several drawbacks and they didn’t sell very well. The problems were that the batteries of these electric cars ran out very quickly and took a long time to recharge. Also, the replacement energy parts were very expensive.

  However, the idea of electric cars has not been scrapped altogether. Car manufacturers have improved the concept so that environmentally friendly cars can now be efficient and economical as well. This is where the hybrid car, which has both an electric motor and a traditional petrol engine, comes in. The electric motor never needs to be recharged and it is much better for the planet than a traditional car.

  In a hybrid car, the engine is controlled by a computer which determines whether the car runs on petrol, electricity, or both. When the car needs maximum power, for example, if it is accelerating or climbing a steep hill, it uses all of its resources, whereas at steady speeds it runs only on petrol. When slowing down or braking, the electric motor recharges its batteries.

Đáp án C.

Key word: compact, second paragraph, closest in meaning.

Clue: “Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source of current is available, transportation experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighborhood cars, electric delivery vans, bikes, and trolleys”: Mặc dù xe điện sẽ không hoàn toàn khả thi/thực tể cho đến khi chúng ta tìm ra một loại pin mạnh và ... hoặc nguồn năng lượng điện khác mà chúng ta có thể trông mong vào. Các chuyên gia về giao thông ... được một loạt những phương tiện chạy điện mới sẽ có mặt trong cuộc sống của chúng ta như: ô tô điện di chuyến trong đoạn đường ngắn hơn, ô tô ba bánh trong khu phố, xe tải điện chở hàng, xe đạp, và xe đy.

Ta thấy từ compact phải mang nghĩa tích cực vì nó song hành với powerful (mạnh mẽ) để miêu tả về một loại pin mới.

Phân tích đáp án:

  A. long-range (adj): tầm xa - Sai vì ở dưới có thông tin rằng các chuyên gia nhìn trước về các phương tiện chạy bằng điện trong đó có ô tô di chuyển đường ngắn, do đó tính chất này không phù hp.

  B. inexpensive (adj): rẻ, không đắt

  C. concentrated (adj): tập trung, cô đặc, rắn chắc.

  D. squared (adj): được tạo thành hình vuông - Sai vì hình vuông không mang tính chất đặc biệt nào để miêu tả về sự ưu việt của loại pin.

Sau khi loại được hai đáp án A và B thì ta còn hai đáp án để phân vân là C và D. Cả hai yếu tố này đều chứng minh được sự tiến bộ cũng như đặc biệt của công nghệ mới này. Dựa và vốn kiến thức thông thường ta biết rằng đĩa CD có tên tiếng anh là “compact disc” - là một loại đĩa được dùng để nén các file dữ liệu vào. Bởi vậy liên tưởng gần nhất cho những bạn không biết nghĩa của từ compact là đáp án C. concentrated (adj): tập trung, cô đặc, rắn chắc vì nó mang tính chất của đĩa CD, tập trung các file rời rạc vào trong một cái đĩa.

MEMORIZE

compact (n): sự thoả thuận, hợp đng, giao kèo

              (adj): kết, dặc, rắn chắc

- compact disc/disk: đĩa nén, đĩa com-pắc.

- compact battery: pin đặc, nhỏ, gọn

- a compact crowd: đám đông, nghẹt cứng
