As a result of the recent oil crisis, 9.9 million of California’s 15 million motorists were subjected to an odd – even plan of gas rationing. The governor signed a bill forcing motorists with license plates ending in odd numbers to buy gas only on odd – numbered days, and those ending in even numbers on even – numbered days. Those whose plates were all letters or specially printed had to follow the odd – numbered plan.
Exceptions were made only for emergencies and out – of – state – drivers. Those who could not get gas were forced to walk, bike, or skate to work.
This plan was expected to eliminate the long lines at many service stations. Those who tried to purchase more than twenty gallons of gas or tried to fill a more than half filled tank would be fined and possibly imprisoned.
All of the following are true EXCEPT__________.
A. officials hoped that this plan would alleviate long gas lines
B. California has 9.9 million drivers

Đáp án B
Tất cả các ý sau là đúng ngoại trừ:
A. Chính quyền hi vọng là chính sách này sẽ làm giảm nhẹ cho các đường dẫn ga
B. Canifornia có 9,9 triệu người lái xe
C. Chính phủ đã kí dự thảo liên quan tới hạn chế phân phối khí đốt
D. Số lượng gas giới hạn bị đánh thuế
Dẫn chứng câu đầu tiên: “…9.9 million of Canifornia’s 15 million motorists…” => có tận 15 triệu người lái xe ở Canifornia chứ không phải chỉ 9.9 triệu người
Dịch bài
Do cuộc khủng hoảng dầu mỏ gần đây, 9,9 triệu trong số 15 triệu lái xe ở Canifornia đã phải chịu một kế hoạch cẳt giảm dầu khí kỳ quặc. Chính phủ đã ký một dự luật buộc người lái xe phải có giấy phép lái xe kết thúc bằng số lẻ để mua xăng chỉ vào những ngày lẻ, và những người kết thúc bằng số chẵn chỉ được mua xăng vào ngày chẵn. Những người có giấy phép đầy đủ các chữa cái thì tuân thủ theo quy luật dành cho số lẻ
Ngoại lệ chỉ đối với các trường hợp khẩn cấp và các lái xe ngoài tiểu bang. Những người không có đủ xăng đã bị buộc phải đi bộ, xe đạp, hoặc trượt ván để đi làm
Kế hoạch này dự kiến sẽ loại bỏ các tuyến đường dài tại nhiều trạm dịch vụ. Những người cố gắng mua hơn hai mươi gallon xăng hoặc cố gắng làm đầy hơn một nửa thùng xăng sẽ bị phạt và có thể bị bỏ tù.
