In a word where 2 billion people live in homes that don’t have light bulbs, technology holds the key to banishing poverty Even the simplest technologies can tranform lives and save money
Vaccines, crops, computers and sources of solar energy can all reduce poverty in developing countries For example, cheap oral-rehydration therapy developed in Bangladesh has dramatically cut the death toll from childhood diarrhoea
But even when such technologies exist, the depressing fact is that we can’t make them (18) for those who most need them Solar panels, batteries and ligh bulbs are still beyond the purse of many, but where they have been installed they change lives A decent light in the evening gives children more time for homework and extends the productive day for adults
Kenya has a thriving solar industry and six years ago Kenyan pioneers also .(19) connecting schools to the Internet via radio links These people were fortunate started being able to afford solar panels, radios and old computers How much bigger would the impact
be if these things (21) and priced specifically for poor people?
Multinationals must become part of the solution, because while they own around 60 percent of the world’s technology, they seldom make products for poor customers Of 1,223 new drugs marketed worldwide from 1975 to 1996, for example, just 13 were for tropical diseases
People think those enterprises should do more to provide vital products such as medicines (23) different prices around the world to suit what people can afford Alternatively, they could pay a percentage of their profit towards research and development for (25)

Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor
entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence If the
machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers A recent survey
Trang 5in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters But
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 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
Question 36: With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?
A The advantages of telecommuting B A definition of telecommuting
Question 37: How many Americans are involved in telecommuting?
A More than predicted in Business Week
B More than 8 million
C Fewer than estimated in USA Today
D Fewer than last year
Question 38: The phrase “of no consequence” means
A of no use B of no good C unimportant D irrelevant Question 39: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of
telecommuting, EXCEPT………
A the opportunities for advancement B the different system of supervision
C the lack of interaction with a group D The work place is in the home
Question 40: The word “executives” in line 10 refers to
A telecommuters B managers C employees D most people Question 41: The word “them” in line 11 refers to………
unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one Work influences virtually every aspect
of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live Here are just a few of the factors
to consider
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision You may want
to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses Think about the
Trang 6classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited
to solitary or cooperative work?” There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what
is important to you Determine which job features you require, which ones you would
prefer, and which ones you cannot accept Then rank them in order of importance to you
The setting of the job is one factor to take into account You may not want to sit at a desk all day If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields in concentrated in certain regions Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country
If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it Some
industries evoke positive or negative associations The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber does not Remember that many jobs are not
what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors
Another point to consider is that as you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities The choice you make today need not be your final one
Question 42: The author states that “There are no right or wrong answers” in order to
A emphasize that each person’s answers will be different
B show that answering the questions is a long and difficult process
C indicate that the answers are not really important
D indicate that each person’s answers may change over time
Question 43: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to
A questions B answers C features D jobs
Question 44: The word “assessing” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by
A discovering B considering C measuring D disposing Question 45: According to paragraph 3, which of the following fields is NOT suitable for a person who does not want to live in a big city?
A plumbing B law C retail sales D advertising Question 46: The word “evoke” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
A agree on B bring to mind C be related to D differ from Question 47: The word “that” in paragraph 4 refers to
A occupation B the traveling life C a flight attendant D commission Question 48: It can be inferred from the paragraph 3 that
A jobs in insurance sales are generally not well-paid
B insurance sales people can earn high salary later in their career
C people should constantly work toward the next promotion
D a starting salary should be an important consideration in choosing a career
Question 49: In paragraph 5, the author suggests that
A you may want to change careers at some time in the future
B as you get older, your career will probably less fulfilling
Trang 7C you will be at your job for a lifetime, so choose carefully
D you will probably jobless at some time in the future
Question 50: Why does the author mention “long, grueling hours without sleeps” in paragraph 4?
A To emphasize the difficulty of working as a plumber
B To contrast the reality of a flight attendant’s job with most people’s perception
C To show that people must work hard for the career they have chosen
D To discourage readers from choosing a career as a flight attendant

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
The Planets of Jupiter The largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 times greater than Earth’s, contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined
It is thought to be a gaseous and fluid planet without solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter might have attained internal temperatures as high as the ignition point for nuclear reactions, and it would have flamed as a star in its own right Jupiter and the other giant planets are of a low-density type quite distinct from the terrestrial planets: they are composed predominantly of such substances as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane, unlike
Trang 13terrestrial planets Much of Jupiter’s interior might be in the form of liquid, metallic hydrogen, Normally, hydrogen is a gas, but under pressures of millions of kilograms per square centimeter, which exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might lock together
to form a liquid with the properties of a metal Some scientists believe that the innermost core
of Jupiter might be rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours As a result, its clouds, which are composed largely of frozen and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright bands that circle the planet at different speeds in different latitudes Jupiter’s puzzling Great Red Spot changes size as it hovers in the Southern Hemisphere Scientists speculate it might be a gigantic hurricane, which because of its large size (the Earth could easily fit inside it), lasts for hundreds of years Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun Perhaps this is primeval heat or beat generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet Another star like characteristic of Jupiter is its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of the Solar System, decrease in density with distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons farther away If Jupiter were about 70 times more massive, it would have become a star, Jupiter
is the bestpreserved sample of the early solar nebula, and with its satellites, might contain the most important clues about the origin of the Solar System
Question 36: The word attained in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _
A attempted B changed C lost D reached
Question 37: The word they in paragraph 1 refers to _
A nuclear reactions B giant planets C terrestrial D substances
Question 38: According to the passage, hydrogen can become a metallic-like liquid when it is
_
A extremely hot B combined with helium C similar atmospheres D metallic cores
Question 39: According to the passage, some scientists believe Jupiter and Earth are similar in
that they both have _
A solid surfaces B similar masses C similar atmospheres D metallic cores
Question 40: The clouds surrounding Jupiter are mostly composed of _
A ammonia B helium C hydrogen D methane
Question 41: It can be inferred from the passage that the appearance of alternating bands
circling Jupiter is caused by _
A the Great Red Spot B heat from the Sun
C the planet’s fast rotation D Storms from the planet’s Southern Hemisphere
Question 42: The author uses the word puzzling in paragraph 2 to suggest that the Great Red
Spot is _
A the only spot of its kind B not well understood
C among the largest of such spots D a problem for the planet’s continued existence
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 43 to 50
Trang 14Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as For example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit Coded
to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have
a major disadvantage They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based upon speech Radio, television, and the telephone are only a few
Question 43: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A Gestures B Signs and signals C Speech D Communication
Question 44: What does the author say about speech?
A It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors
B It is the most advanced form of communication
C It is necessary for communication to occur
D It is the only true form of communication
Question 45: According to the passage, what is a signal?
A A form of communication that interrupts the environment
B The most difficult form of communication to describe
C A form of communication which may be used across long distances
D The form of communication most related to cultural perception
Question 46: The phrase “ impinge upon” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to……
A prohibit B intrude C vary D improve
Question 47: The word “it” in paragraph refers to _
A way B environment C function D signal
Question 48: The word “ potential” in paragraph 1 could be replaced by
A advanced B possibility C organization D signal
Question 49: The word “intricate” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by
A inefficient B complicated C historical D uncertain
Question 50: Applauding was cited as an example of
