Life involves a certain amount of risk, or at least it did These days, however, governments seem to have become obsessed with the idea of protecting
us from it As a result, what we actually risk most is not being allowed to live at all

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
Early mariners gradually developed ways of observing and recording in their journals their position, the distances and directions they traveled, the currents of
wind and water, and the HAZARDS and havens they encountered The
information in these journals enabled them to find their way home and, for them or their successors, to repeat and extend the recorded voyages Each new observation could be added to an ever-increasing body of reliable information
Ship captains and navigators were not concerned about running into other vessels, but as heavy traffic developed along shipping routes, avoiding such
COLLISIONS became a serious matter In all fields of navigation, keeping a safe
distance between ships moving in different directions at different speeds became as important as knowing how to reach one’s destination
The larger the ship, the easier it is to see, but the larger a ship, the more time
IT requires to change its speed or direction When many ships are in a small area,
an action taken by one ship to avoid colliding with another might en-danger a third
In busy seaports, such as Hamburg and New York, this problem has been solved
by assigning incoming and outgoing ships to separate lanes, which are clearly marked and divided by the greatest practical distance
The speed of jet airplanes makes collision a deadly possibility Even if two pilots see one another in time to begin evasive action, their maneuvers may be
Trang 9useless if either pilot incorrectly predicts the other’s move Ground-based air traffic controllers assign aircraft to flight paths that keep airplanes a safe distance from one another
When steam engines began to replace sails during the first half of the nineteenth century, a ship’s navigator had to compute fuel consumption as well as course and location Today, in airplanes as well as in ships, large amounts of fuel, needed for long trips, reduce the cargo capacity, and economy requires that its consumption be kept to a minimum
In modern air and sea navigation, a schedule has to be met A single voyage
or flight is only one link in a complicated and coordinated transportation network that carries goods and people from any starting place to any chosen destination Modern navigation selects a ship’s course, avoids collision with other moving ships, minimizes fuel consumption, and follows an established timetable
36 What is the main topic of the passage?
A Historical records of navigation B Airplane navigation in Europe
C Schedules and shipping long distances D The growing importance of
navigation

40 How are ships kept apart in the ports of Hamburg and New York?
A The port controllers guide ship captains by radio
B Incoming and outgoing ships are assigned to clearly marked lanes

Dẫn chứng đoạn 3: “In busy seaports, such as Hamburg and New York, this problem has been solved by assigning incoming and outgoing ships to
separate lanes, which are clearly marked and divided by the greatest practical distance.”
41 What does the author imply about the speed of jet airplanes?
A Air traffic is now safer than it was with planes with piston-driven engines
B Radio communication between ships and planes help schedules
C Collisions of jet airplanes almost always result in the deaths of passengers and crew
D Pilots are now able to predict evasive maneuvers that others will take
Dẫn chứng đoạn 4: “The speed of jet airplanes makes collision a deadly
possibility.”
42 Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
A Information in mariners’ journals is better than modern navigation techniques
B Collisions in the air are more dangerous than those at sea
C Mariners today have to compute more things than those in the past did
D Air traffic controllers use the same navigation techniques as sea captains
Dẫn chứng đoạn 5: “When steam engines began to replace sails during the first half
of the nineteenth century, a ship’s navigator had to compute fuel consumption
as well as course and location.”
