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
Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know Although the whale is very huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water Whales have tails that end like flippers With just a gentle flick, it can prop el itself forward The skin of a whale is so smooth that it does not create any friction that can slow the whale down A whale‘s breathing hole is located on the top of its head, so it can breathe without having to completely push its head out of the water Whales are protected from the cold seawater by body fat that is called blubber
Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviours, they are more similar to humans than
fish They live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate from cooler to warmer waters The young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years
Whales are known not to desert the ill or injured members; instead, they cradle them
When whales are in danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them One such case occurred in 1988,
when three young whales were trapped in the sea It was close to winter and the sea had begun to freeze over Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the frozen ice
was a great danger to them All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice for them to breathe
through Volunteers from all over soon turned up to help these creatures They cut holes in the ice to provide more breathing holes for the whales These holes would also serve as
guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters

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 8Students at 42 are given a choice of projects that they might be set in a job as a software
engineer - perhaps to design a website or a computer game They complete a project using
resources freely available on the Internet and by seeking help from their fellow students, who
work alongside them in a large open-plan room full of computers Another student will then
be randomly assigned to mark their work
The founders claim this method of learning makes up for shortcomings in the traditional education system, which they say encourages students to be passive recipients of knowledge
"Peer-to-peer learning develops students with the confidence to search for solutions by themselves, often in quite creative and ingenious ways."
Like in computer games , the students are asked to design and they go up a level by completing a project They graduate when they reach level 21, which usually takes three to five years And at the end, there is a certificate but no formal degree Recent graduates are now working at companies including IBM, Amazon, and Tesla, as well as starting their own firms
"The feedback we have had from employers is that our graduates are more apt to go off and find out information for themselves, rather than asking their supervisors what to do next,"
says Brittany Bir, chief operating officer of 42 in California and a graduate of its sister school in Paris Ms Bir says 42's graduates will be better able to work with others and discuss and defend their ideas - an important skill in the ―real world‖ of work "This is particularly
important in computer programming, where individuals are notorious for lacking certain
human skills," she says
But could 42's model of teacherless learning work in mainstream universities? Brittany Bir admits 42's methods do not suit all students "It suits individuals who are very disciplined and self- motivated, and who are not scared by having the freedom to work at their own pace,"
she says

Read the following passage extracted from Expert on Cambridge IELTS Reading 1 and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 31 to 38
Political and family values within society have impa cted upon the modern family structure
Traditionally, it has been the man‟s role to be the breadwinner for the family- providing the
funds to pay for food and shelter However, due to the many new and unique responsibilities placed upon families, in numerous cases both men and women- fathers and mothers- have had
to enter the workforce Generally, the reasons for both being involved in the workforce revolve around the need to add to the family‟s current financial base To a lesser extent, the need to interact with ―adults‖ in a stimulating work environment is another popular reason Whatever their reasons, for many families, the decision for father and mother to go out of home and join the labour force has led to a number of side effects within the home whic h, in turn, impact upon their performance as employees

Trang 40the individual, making it difficult for him or her to participate fully in family life
Social scientists have devised a number of theories in an attempt to explain the work-family
dynamic Compensation theory is one which has been widely used It assumes that the
relationship between work and family is negative by pointing out that high involvement in one sphere- invariably the work sphere- leads to low involvement in the other As an individual advances within a career, demands typically fluctuate from moderate to more demanding and if the advancing worker has younger children, this shift in work responsibilities will usually manifest itself in the form of less time spent with the family Researchers subscribing to this theory point out that the drain on family time is significantly related to work-family conflict with an escalation in conflict, as the number of families increase
