Today we hear more and more about the importance of getting enough sleep Sleep can give energy to both our bodies and our brains It can also affect our feelings, behaviour, and memory
Students have shown that people in some countries spend less time sleeping and more time working But our bodies cannot work well without enough sleep Losing just one or two hours of sleep a night, over a long period of time, can badly affect our health We cannot work for many hours; we can get angry easily and we can even lose our IQ points That explains
why, without enough sleep, an intelligent person may have difficulty doing daily tasks
Studies have also shown that the time of year seems to affect how much sleep we need People usually sleep longer in
the winter, they sometimes sleep as little as six hours, without having any problems
(Adapted from Strategic Reading by Richards and Eckstut-Didier)

XII 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
As the Internet has become more and more popular, we may be reading a great deal more than we used to However, the way we are reading materials on the Internet, or online reading, is very different from the way we traditionally read printed materials
In the traditional way of reading, we would start at the beginning of a book and read to the end In online reading, in contrast, we start reading a page, but may never finish it because a link on that page leads to a passage on a different page, and so on As we go from one page to another, we have to remember lots of different ideas at the same time This new way
of reading is quite different from the traditional one
There are both advantages and disadvantages of online reading In online reading, the brain gets better than ever at
doing many tasks at the same time, or multiasking; and thanks to this, we can work quickly and think creatively Multiasking
is useful in certain working environments, but it also makes it more difficult for us to read at a deep level We are, therefore, much less likely to analyse what we read in a critical way, or gain any real insight into the contents we are reading This
might lead to a future when a whole new generation lacks the ability to think critically and deeply about what they are reading
Trang 4The world is changing and our brains are probably changing to meet new demands in the modern world, just as they have always done throughout history However, it is important for us to consider how to maintain our critical, deeper reading skills, while still dealing with online reading materials
(Adapted from Insight by Robert and Sayer)
44 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A More Reading, Less Analysis? B Is Technology Changing Writing?
C Less Reading, More Problems? D Is Reading Changing Technology?
45 According to paragraph 2, as we read a page online, we
A may not finish reading the whole page B always read from the beginning till the end
C never read the first part of the page D tend to read the last part before anything else
46 The word “tasks” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _
47 The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to _
A what we read B online reading C multiasking D the brain
48 The word “insight” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _
49 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A We read online materials in the same way as we read printed materials
B Possibly our brains are changing to meet new demands in the modern world
C Multiasking enables us to work quickly and think creatively
D In the traditional way of reading, we would read from the beginning through the end
50 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A The brain does not play an important role in the traditional way of reading
B The traditional way of reading allows people to read at a deep level
C We used to read much more in the past than we do now

XI 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
In the near term, the goal of keeping AI’s impact on society beneficial motivates research in many areas, from economics and law to technical topics such as verification, validity, security and control Whereas it may be little more than
a minor nuisance if your laptop crashes or gets hacked, it becomes all the more important that an AI system does what you want it to do if it controls your car, your airplane, your pacemaker, your automated trading system or your power grid Another short-term challenge is preventing a devastating arms race in lethal autonomous weapons
In the long term, an important question is what will happen if the quest for strong AI succeeds and an AI system becomes
better than humans at all cognitive tasks Such a system could potentially undergo recursive self-improvement, triggering
an intelligence explosion leaving human intellect far behind By inventing revolutionary new technologies, such a superintelligence might help us eradicate war, disease, and poverty, and so the creation of strong AI might be the biggest
event in human history Some experts have expressed concern, though, that it might also be the last, unless we learn to align
the goals of the AI with ours before it becomes superintelligent
There are some who question whether strong AI will ever be achieved, and others who insist that the creation of superintelligent AI is guaranteed to be beneficial At FLI we recognize both of these possibilities, but also recognize the potential for an artificial intelligence system to intentionally or unintentionally cause great harm We believe research today will help us better prepare for and prevent such potentially negative consequences in the future, thus enjoying the benefits
of AI while avoiding pitfalls
39 Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A Transcending complacency on superintelligent machines B No time like the present for AI safety work
C The importance of researching AI safety D Challenges to ensuring the safety of AI systems
40 According to paragraph 1, what is NOT mentioned as a potential benefit of AI?
A Facilitating the identification system B Managing the electricity in homes
C Controlling vehicles and gadgets D Curing life-threatening diseases
41 The word “recursive” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
42 The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to _
43 According to paragraph 3, which information is incorrect about the future of AI?
A We cannot deny the likelihood of AI turning on its creator – the human
B The emergence of superintelligence will yield valuable benefits for human
C One of the focus of AI system nowadays should be preparation and preventive measures
D The probability of malicious artificial intelligence is an unexpected zero
Trang 8XII 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
Grandparents are becoming the forgotten generation, with youngsters now too busy to listen to their stories from the olden days A study of 1,000 five to 18 year-olds reveals just 21 percent will visit their older relatives to hear about how their lives were different in the past; such as where they worked, how it was living in the war, and how they met the love of their life More than half of youths have no idea what job their grandparent did before retirement – admitting they’d never thought to ask Sadly, one in 10 admitted they are simply not interested in their grandmother’s or grandad’s previous job or talents and interests, and a quarter only turn up to see them for pocket money But 23 percent claim the reason they don’t know anything about their older relatives is because they don’t really get the chance to talk properly
Geoff Bates, spokesman for McCarthy & Stone’s Inspirational Generation campaign, said: “We know this generation have lived full lives with heroic tales to tell and so much to offer, but how many of us have actually thought to ask these
questions of our older family members? We want to shout about the amazing feats retirees have achieved in their lifetime
and put the spotlight on the wonderfully colorful lives of today’s older people We are calling on parents and children to talk
to their grandparents, to find out what they have done in their lives – and continue to do, and tell us all about it so we can
give them the credit they deserve.”
Researchers found that although 65 percent of youngsters do see their grandparents every single week, 37 percent claim this is only because their parents want them to And while 39 percent talk to their grandparents on the phone, Facebook
or Skype at least once a week – 16 percent once a day – conversation is rarely focused on what they are doing or have done
in the past Four in 10 kids have no idea what their grandparents proudest achievements are, while 30 percent don’t know if they have any special skills or talents And 42 percent don’t spend any time talking about their grandparent’s history – and are therefore clueless about what their grandmother or grandad was like when they were younger Perhaps due to this lack
of communication and respect, just six percent of children say they look up to their grandparents as a role model and
inspiration However, grandchildren are agreed their grandparents are both loving and friendly, while 43 percent think
they’re funny – with 23 percent admitting they often have more fun with their elderly relatives than their parents
44 Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A Grandparents are outdated people in their families
B Young people now do not concern much about their grandparents
C Grandparents are not interested in telling stories about their life in the past any more
D Young people are too busy to take care of their grandparents
45 According to the study in paragraph 2, which information is NOT true?
A Merely over one fifth of people in the survey keep asking about the bygone time of their grandparents
B Over 50% of the young don’t know about their older relatives’ professions before superannuation
C Most of youths visit their grandparents to ask for money
D Nearly a quarter of young people don’t have proper opportunities to converse with their older relatives
46 The word “feats” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _
A accomplishments B failures C difficulties D differences
47 What does the word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A parents B children C colorful lives D grandparents
48 It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that McCarthy & Stone’s Inspirational Generation campaign _
A encourages people to ask more questions about their grandparents’ jobs
B would like to honour the retirees with their remarkable achievements and experienced life
C hopes to give recognition to the older family members
D intends to retell the heroic tails of the older generation and find out what they have done in the past
49 According to the last paragraph, the proportion of the young voluntarily visiting their older family members every week is
50 The word “inspiration” in the last paragraph mostly means
A disincentive B encumbrance C stimulation D hindrance
