In a world where 2 billion people live in homes that don't have light bulbs, technology holds the key (31)_ _ banishing poverty Even the simplest technologies can transform 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 (32) from childhood diarrhoea
But even when such technologies exist, the depressing fact is that we can’t make them cheap enough for those who most need them Solar panels, batteries and light 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
Trang 4extends the productive day for adults Kenya has a thriving solar industry and six years ago Kenyan pioneers also started connecting schools to the Internet via radio links These people were fortunate in being able to afford solar panels, radios and old
computers How much bigger would the impact be if these things (33) and priced specifically for poor people?
Multinationals must become part of the solution, because (34) they own around
60 per cent 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 at different prices around the world to suit (35) people can afford Alternatively, they could pay a percentage of their profit towards research and development for the poor

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niépce needed pictures for his business He was not a good artist, so he invented a very simple camera He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard That was the first photograph
The next important date in the history of photography was 1837 That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio He used a new kind of camera and a different process In his pictures, you could see everything clearly, even the smallest details This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's process Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world People photographed famous buildings, cities, and mountains
In about 1840, the process was improved Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things The process was not simple and photographers had to carry lots of film and processing equipment However, this did not stop photographers, especially in the United States After 1840, daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities
Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer He took many portraits of famous people The portraits were unusual because they were lifelike and full of personality Brady was also the first person to take pictures of a war His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities They made the war seem more real and more terrible
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography Photographers could buy film readymade in rolls, instead of having to make the film themselves Also, they did not have to process the film immediately They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later They did not have to carry lots of equipment And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive With a small camera, anyone could be a photographer People began to use cameras just for fun They took pictures of their families, friends, and favorite places
Trang 5They called these pictures "snapshots".
Documentary photographs became popular in newspapers in the 1890s Soon magazines and books also used them These pictures showed true events and people They were much more real than drawings
Some people began to think of photography as a form of art They thought that photography could do more than show the real world It could also show ideas and
feelings, like other art forms From “Reading Power” by Beatrice S Mikulecky and Linda Jeffries Question 36: Daguerre took a picture of his studio with

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.
Architecture is the practice of building design and its resulting products; customary usage refers only to those designs and structures that are culturally significant Architecture is to building as literature is to the printed word Vitruvius, a 1st-century BC Roman, wrote encyclopedically about architecture, and the English poet Sir Henry Wotton was quoting him in
Trang 6his charmingly phrased dictum: “Well building hath three conditions: Commoditie, Firmenes, and Delight.” More prosaically, one would say today that architecture must satisfy its intended uses, must be technically sound, and must convey aesthetic meaning But the best buildings are often so well constructed that they outlast their original use They then survive not only as beautiful objects, but as documents of the history of cultures, achievements in architecture that testify to the nature of the society that produced them These achievements are never wholly the work of individuals
Architecture is a social art.
Architectural form is inevitably influenced by the technologies applied, but building technology is conservative and knowledge about it is cumulative Precast concrete, for
instance, has not rendered brick obsolete Although design and construction have become
highly sophisticated and are often computer directed, this complex apparatus rests on preindustrial traditions inherited from millennia during which most structures were lived
in by the people who erected them The technical demands on building remain the elemental ones – to exclude enemies, to circumvent gravity, and to avoid discomforts caused by an excess of heat or cold or by the intrusion of rain, wind, or vermin This is no trivial assignment even with the best modern technology
The availability of suitable materials fostered the crafts to exploit them and influenced the shapes of buildings Large areas of the world were once forested, and their inhabitants developed carpentry Although it has become relatively scarce, timber remains an important building material
Many kinds of stone lend themselves to building Stone and marble were chosen for important monuments because they are incombustible and can be expected to endure Stone is also a sculptural material; stone architecture was often integral with stone sculpture The use of stone has declined, however, because a number of other materials are more amenable to industrial use and assembly
Some regions lack both timber and stone; their peoples used the earth itself, tamping certain mixtures into walls or forming them into bricks to be dried in the sun Later they baked these substances in kilns, producing a range of bricks and tiles with greater durability

A make structures look more attractive B are inflammable and endurable
