Câu 30:
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or B on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 37.
Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office.

Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or B on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 37.
Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers.

Trong thời đại gia tăng sự nóng lên toàn cầu và làm giảm nguồn cung cấp nhiên liệu hóa thạch, chúng ta phải bắt đầu ưu tiên nhiều hơn cho việc khai thác các nguồn năng lượng thay thế. May mắn thay, có một số nguồn tài nguyên tái tạo có sẵn, vừa hiệu quả vừa thân thiện với trái đất. Hai nguồn tài nguyên như vậy là năng lượng mặt trời và năng lượng địa nhiệt. Năng lượng mặt trời, đến trái đất thông qua ánh sáng mặt trời, rất phong phú đến mức nó có thể đáp ứng nhu cầu tiêu thụ năng lượng trên toàn thế giới gấp 6.000 lần. Và năng lượng mặt trời dễ dàng được khai thác thông qua việc sử dụng các tế bào quang điện chuyển đổi ánh sáng mặt trời thành điện năng. Chỉ riêng tại Mỹ, hơn 100.000 ngôi nhà được trang bị hệ thống điện mặt trời dưới dạng tấm pin mặt trời hoặc ngói lợp năng lượng mặt trời. Và ở những nơi khác trên thế giới, bao gồm nhiều nước đang phát triển, việc sử dụng hệ mặt trời đang tăng trưởng đều đặn.
Một nguồn năng lượng thay thế khác, có rất nhiều ở các khu vực địa lý cụ thể, là năng lượng địa nhiệt, tạo ra năng lượng bằng cách chạm nhiệt từ bên dưới bề mặt trái đất. Nước nóng và hơi nước bị mắc kẹt trong các hồ ngầm được bơm lên bề mặt và được sử dụng để chạy máy phát điện, sản xuất điện. Năng lượng địa nhiệt dồi dào hơn 50.000 lần so với toàn bộ nguồn cung cấp nhiên liệu hóa thạch đã biết. Và cũng như năng lượng mặt trời, công nghệ cần thiết để sử dụng năng lượng địa nhiệt khá đơn giản. Một ví dụ điển hình của việc sử dụng địa nhiệt hiệu quả là ở Iceland, một khu vực có hoạt động địa nhiệt cao, nơi có hơn 80% nhà riêng được sưởi ấm bằng năng lượng địa nhiệt. Năng lượng mặt trời và năng lượng địa nhiệt chỉ là hai trong số các giải pháp thay thế tái tạo đầy hứa hẹn cho các nguồn năng lượng thông thường. Thời gian là quá lâu do việc đầu tư vào phát triển và sử dụng năng lượng thay thế trên quy mô toàn cầu.

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 38 to 42
In this era of increased global warming and diminishing fossil fuel supplies, we must begin to put a greater priority on harnessing alternative energy sources. Fortunately, there are a number of readily available, renewable resources that are both cost- effective and earth - friendly. Two such resources are solar power and geothermal power. Solar energy, which reaches the earth through sunlight, is so abundant that it could meet the needs of worldwide energy consumption 6,000 times over. And solar energy is easily harnessed through the use of photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. In the US alone, more than 100, 000 homes are equipped with solar electric systems in the form of solar panels or solar roof tiles. And in other parts of the world, including many developing countries, the use of solar system is growing steadily.
Another alternative energy source, which is abundant in specific geographical areas, is geothermal power, which creates energy by tapping heat from below the surface of the earth. Hot water and steam that are trapped in underground pools are pumped to the surface and used to run a generator, which is produces electricity. Geothermal energy is 50,000 times more abundant than the entire known supply of fossil fuel resources. And as with solar power, the technology needed to utilize geothermal energy is fairly simple. A prime example of effective geothermal use is in Iceland, a region of high geothermal activity where over 80 percent of private homes are heated by geothermal power. Solar and geothermal energy are just two of promising renewable alternatives to conventional energy sources. The time is long overdue to invest in the development and use of alternative energy on global scale.
According to the passage, why should we consider using alternative energy sources?
Đáp án D.
Dịch nghĩa: Theo bài văn, vì sao chúng ta nên cân nhắc sử dụng nguồn năng lượng thay thế?
A. Vì năng lượng hoá thạch không còn có sẵn nữa.
B. Vì nóng lên toàn cầu đã tăng lượng lớn ánh nắng mặt trời mà đến được trái đất.
C. Vì chúng miễn phí và có sẵn trên toàn thế giới.
D. Vì nguồn năng lượng thường đang cạn kiệt, và chúng gây hại cho môi trường.
