computer from a distant site and transmit the material to their employers A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8 7 million telecommuters Although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago

Why hasn't telecommuting become more popular? Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be

too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating

the manager's responsibilities

It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the opportunity Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office

Unlike these fish, which are actually extinct, the coelacanth is a type of fish that was believed to

be extinct However, an unexpected twentieth-century rediscovery of living coelacanths has brought about a reassessment of the status of this prehistoric sea creature that was believed to have long since disappeared from the Earth

Trang 5

From fossil remains of the coelacanth, palaeontologists have determined that the coelacanth

was in existence around 350 million years ago, during the Palaeozoic Era, more than 100 million years before the first dinosaurs arrived on Earth The most recent fossilized coelacanths date from around 70 million years ago, near the end of the Mesozoic and near the end of the age of dinosaurs Because no fossilized remnants of coelacanths from the last 70 million years have been found, the coelacanth was believed to have died out around the same time as the dinosaurs The prehistoric coelacanth studied by palaeontologists had distinctive characteristics that differentiated it from other fish It was named for its hollow spine and was known to have been powerful carnivores because of its many sharp teeth and a special joint in the skull that allowed

the ferocious teeth to move in coordination with the lower jaw It also had a pair of fins with

unusual bony and muscular development that allowed the coelacanth to dart around the ocean floor These fins also enable the coelacanth to search out prey trying to hide on the ocean bottom

In 1983, a living specimen of the coelacanth was discovered in the catch of a fishing boat off the coast of South Africa, and since then numerous other examples of the coelacanth have been found in the waters of the Indian Ocean This modern version of the coelacanth is not exactly the same as its prehistoric cousin Today’s coelacanth is larger than its prehistoric relative, measuring

up to six feet in length and weigh up to 150 pounds However, the modern version of the coelacanth still possesses the characteristic hollow spine and distinctive fins with their unusual bony and muscular structure

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

Overpopulation, the situation of having large numbers of people with too few resources and too little space, is closely associated with poverty It can result from high population density, or from low amounts of resources, or from both Excessively high population densities put stress on available resources Only a certain number of people can be supported on a given area of land,

and that number depends on how much food and other resources the land can provide In

countries where people live primarily by means of simple farming, gardening, herding, hunting, and gathering, even large areas of land can support only small numbers of people because these labor-intensive subsistence activities produce only small amounts of food

In developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and the countries of Western Europe, overpopulation generally is not considered a major cause of poverty These countries produce large quantities of food through mechanized farming, which depends on commercial fertilizers, large-scale irrigation, and agricultural machinery This form of production provides enough food

to support the high densities of people in metropolitan areas

A country’s level of poverty can depend greatly on its mix of population density and agricultural productivity Bangladesh, for example, has one of the world’s highest population densities, with

1,147 persons per sq km A large majority of the people of Bangladesh engage in

low-productivity manual farming, which contributes to the country’s extremely high level of poverty Some of the smaller countries in Western Europe, such as the Netherlands and Belgium, have high population densities as well These countries practice mechanized farming and are involved

in high-tech industries, however, and therefore have high standards of living

At the other end of the spectrum, many countries in sub-Saharan Africa have population densities

of less than 30 persons per sq km Many people in these countries practice manual subsistence

farming; these countries also have infertile land, and lack the economic resources and

technology to boost productivity As a consequence, these nations are very poor The United States has both relatively low population density and high agricultural productivity; it is one of the world’s wealthiest nations

High birth rates contribute to overpopulation in many developing countries Children are assets

to many poor families because they provide labor, usually for farming Cultural norms in traditionally rural societies commonly sanction the value of large families Also, the governments

of developing countries often provide little or no support, financial or political, for family planning; even people who wish to keep their families small have difficulty doing so For all these reasons, developing countries tend to have high rates of population growth

Question 43 Which of the following is a contributor to overpopulation in many developing

Question 45 The phrase “engage in” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to

A participate in B escape from

Trang 16

C look into D give up

Question 46 Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A High Birth Rate and its Consequences

B Overpopulation: A Cause of Poverty

C Overpopulation: A Worldwide Problem

D Poverty in Developing Countries

Question 47 The phrase “that number” in paragraph 1 refers to the number of

A countries B resources

C people D densities

Question 48 In certain countries, large areas of land can only yield small amounts of food

because

A there are small numbers of laborers

B there is a lack of mechanization

C there is an abundance of resources

D there is no shortage of skilled labor

Question 49 Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?

A There is no connection between a country’s culture and overpopulation

B In certain developed countries, mechanized farming is applied

C All small countries in Western Europe have high population densities

D In sub-Saharan African countries, productivity is boosted by technology

Question 50 Bangladesh is a country where the level of poverty depends greatly on

A its population density only

B both population density and agricultural productivity

C population density in metropolitan areas

D its high agricultural productivity

History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927 But sound

films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings From the earliest public

performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects These were produced by a single pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called "synchronized sound" – began soon after the very first films were shown With synchronized sound, characters on the movie screen could sing and speak As early

as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system The biggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence

In the "sound-on-film" system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could

be read by an optical sensor These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image,

guaranteeing synchronization Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922 This system eventually brought us "talking pictures"
