Chọn đáp án B
Các câu sau đây là đúng, NGOẠI TRỪ _______.
A. WHO khuyến cáo tất cả các quốc gia áp dụng cả các biện pháp ngăn chặn và giảm thiểu.
B. Các quan chức của WHO từ chối chỉ trích công khai một thành viên - Ý.
C. Tổng giám đốc Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus tuyên bố rằng hoàn cảnh sẽ tồi tệ hơn.
D. Ban đầu WHO không chắc chắn về quyết định của mình khi tuyên bố rằng vụ bùng phát là một đại dịch.
=> Căn cứ vào các dẫn chứng sau, ta có:
*Lời giải Chọn đáp án A => “WHO officials also stressed that countries should be implementing a strategic combinationtwo types of measures.One involves trying to detect and stop known chains of transmissionby isolating cases and following and potentially quarantining their contacts. The other involves community-level steps like social distancing and comes into playwhen the virus is spreading more broadly and transmission chains can’t be tracked.”
(Các nhà chức trách của tổ chức WHO cũng nhấn mạnh rằng các quốc gia nên áp dụng sự kết hợp ở cả hai biện pháp. Cái thứ nhất là liên quan đến việc cố gắng phát hiện và ngăn chặn các chuỗi nhiễm truyền đã biếtbằng cách cách ly các trường hợp và theo dõi và có khả năng cách ly cả những người đã tiếp xúc với họ. Cái thứ hai liên quan đến các bước ở mức độ cộng đồng như là tránh xa những nơi đông người và bắt đầu hành động các biện phápkhi con vi rút lây lan ngày càng rộng hơn và chúng ta không thể lần theo dấu vết của chuỗi truyền nhiễm đó.)
*Lời giải Chọn đáp án C => “Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that “We expect to see the number of cases, the number of deaths, and the number of affected countries climb even higher.”
(Giám đốc điều hành Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus nói rằng “Chúng tôi e rằng sẽ phải chứng kiến số lượng ca nhiễm, số ca tử vong, và số lượng các quốc gia bị ảnh hưởng thậm chí sẽ còn vượt lên cao hơn nữa.”)
*Lời giải Chọn đáp án D => “WHO officials had said earlier they were hesitant to call the outbreak a pandemic in case it led governments and individuals to give up the fight.”
(Các nhà chức trách của tổ chức WHO đã sớm nói rằng họ đã rất do dự để thông báo sự bùng phát của đại dịch phòng khi nó khiến cho chính phủ và các cá nhân từ bỏ trong cuộc chiến đấu chống lại cơn đại dịch này.) =>Như vậy ta thấy chỉ có đáp án B là không được đề cập trong bài.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
While many behaviors and practices associated with going green are designed to save money, there are certain ways in which green living can actually be moderately to very expensive. Much of the technology associated with green (28) ___________provides benefits to the environment but often at a much higher cost than their traditional counterparts. For instance, the use of solar panels can potentially save you money on your energy bills, but they can (29) ______________ thousands of dollars to install. Energy-efficient appliances are designed to use less electricity and water but they often come with a high price tag.
Going green can also potentially have a negative effect on the environment. (30) _________________, the development of alternative fuels is an innovation in the green movement in an effort to reduce reliance on (31) ___________ natural resources. While these fuels are intended to reduce the toxic emissions caused by the burning of traditional gasoline, they may have unintentionally caused the opposite effect. One of these alternative fuels, E85, actually (32) gives ___________ more ozone into the atmosphere than traditional fuel. While ozone is a natural part of the Earth’s upper atmosphere, if it becomes concentrated in the lower atmosphere, it can potentially increase air pollution in areas where smog is a concern, which can in turn impact the health of those living in these areas.

The World Health Organization on Wednesday declared the rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that “We expect to see the number of cases, the number of deaths, and the number of affected countries climb even higher.”
WHO officials had said earlier they were hesitant to call the outbreak a pandemic in case it led governments and individuals to give up the fight. On Wednesday, they stressed that fundamental public health interventions can still limit the spread of the virus and drive down cases even where it was transmitting widely, as the work of authorities and communities in China, Singapore, and South Korea has shown.
The virus, which probably originated in bats but passed to people via an as yet unrecognized intermediary animal species, is believed to have started infecting people in Wuhan, China, in late November or early December. Since then the virus has raced around the globe. South Korea, which has reported nearly 8,000 cases, also appears poised to bring its outbreak under control with aggressive measures and widespread testing. But other countries have struggled to follow the leads of China and South Korea — a reality that has frustrated WHO officials who have exhorted the world to do everything possible to end transmission of the virus. Tedros used the fact that 90% of the cumulative cases have been reported in just four countries as evidence that the rest of the world still had time to prevent an explosion of cases with action.
WHO officials also stressed that countries should be implementing a strategic combination two types of measures. One involves trying to detect and stop known chains of transmission by isolating cases and following and potentially quarantining their contacts. The other involves community-level steps like social distancing and comes into play when the virus is spreading more broadly and transmission chains can’t be tracked. Mike Ryan, the head of the WHO’s emergency program, said that the public health interventions might not have straightforward effect, but to slow the spread of the virus. People with severe cases can require long periods of critical care and strain the resources of hospitals. He said he was worried about “the case load, the demand on the health workers, the dangers that come with fatigue, and potentially shortages of personal protective equipment.”Câu 38: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
