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 24 to 30.
Duncan Phyfe made some of the most beautiful furniture found in America. His family name was originally Fife, and he was born in Scotland in 1768. In 1784, the Fife family immigrated to Albany, New York where Duncan’s father opened a cabinetmaking shop. Duncan followed his father’s footsteps and was apprenticed to a cabinetmaker. After completing his training, Duncan moved to New York City.
Duncan Fife was first mentioned in the 1792 NYC Directory as a furniture “joiner” in business at 2 Broad Street. Two years later, he moved, expanded his business, and changed his name to Phyfe. He was a quiet-living, God-fearing young man who felt his new name would probably appeal to potential customers who were definitely anti-British in this post-Revolutionary War period.
Duncan Phyfe’s name distinguished him from his contemporaries. Although the new spelling helped him better compete with French emigrant craftsmen, his new name had more to do with hanging it on a sign over his door stoop.
The artisans and merchants who came to America discovered a unique kind of freedom. They were no longer restricted by class and guild traditions of Europe. For the first time in history, a man learned that by working hard, he could build his business based on his own name and reputation and quality of work.
Phyfe’s workshop apparently took off immediately. At the peak of his success, Phyfe employed 100 craftsmen. Some economic historians point to Phyfe as having employed division of labor and an assembly line. What his workshop produced shows Phyfe’s absolute dedication to quality in workmanship. Each piece of furniture was made of the best available materials. He was reported to have paid $1,000 for a single Santo Domingo mahogany log.
Phyfe did not create new designs. Rather, he borrowed from a broad range of the period’s classical styles, Empire, Sheraton, Regency, and French Classical among them. Nevertheless, Phyfe’s high quality craftsmanship established him as America’s patriotic interpreter of European design in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Although the number of pieces produced by Duncan Phyfe’s workshop is enormous, comparatively few marked or labeled pieces have been found extant. In antiques shops and auctions, collectors have paid $11,000 for a card table, $24,200 for a tea table, and $93,500 for a sewing table.

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.
After the United States purchased Louisiana from France and made it their newest territory in 1803, President Thomas Jefferson called for an expedition to investigate the land the United States had bought for $15 million. Jefferson’s secretary, Meriwether Lewis, a woodsman and a hunter from childhood, persuaded the president to let him lead this expedition. Lewis recruited Army officer William Clark to be his co-commander. The Lewis and Clark expedition led the two young explorers to discover a new natural wealth of variety and abundance about which they would return to tell the world.
When Lewis and Clark departed from St. Louis in 1804, they had twenty-nine in their party, including a few Frenchmen and several men from Kentucky who were well-known frontiersmen. Along the way, they picked up an interpreter named Toussant Charbonneau and his Native American wife, Sacajawea, the Shoshoni “Bird Woman” who aided them as guide and peacemaker and later became an American legend.
The expedition followed the Missouri River to its source, made a long portage overland though the Rocky Mountains, and descended the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean. On the journey, they encountered peaceful Otos, whom they befriended, and hostile Teton Sioux, who demanded tribute from all traders. They also met Shoshoni, who welcomed their little sister Sacajawea, who had been abducted as a child by the Mandans. They discovered a paradise full of giant buffalo herds and elk and antelope so innocent of human contact that they tamely approached the men. The explorers also found a hell blighted by mosquitoes and winters harsher than anyone could reasonably hope to survive. They became desperately lost, then found their way again. Lewis and Clark kept detailed journals of the expedition, cataloging a dazzling array of new plants and animals, and even unearthing the bones of a forty-five-foot dinosaur.

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 24 to 30.
Duncan Phyfe made some of the most beautiful furniture found in America. His family name was originally Fife, and he was born in Scotland in 1768. In 1784, the Fife family immigrated to Albany, New York where Duncan’s father opened a cabinetmaking shop. Duncan followed his father’s footsteps and was apprenticed to a cabinetmaker. After completing his training, Duncan moved to New York City.
Duncan Fife was first mentioned in the 1792 NYC Directory as a furniture “joiner” in business at 2 Broad Street. Two years later, he moved, expanded his business, and changed his name to Phyfe. He was a quiet-living, God-fearing young man who felt his new name would probably appeal to potential customers who were definitely anti-British in this post-Revolutionary War period.
Duncan Phyfe’s name distinguished him from his contemporaries. Although the new spelling helped him better compete with French emigrant craftsmen, his new name had more to do with hanging it on a sign over his door stoop.
The artisans and merchants who came to America discovered a unique kind of freedom. They were no longer restricted by class and guild traditions of Europe. For the first time in history, a man learned that by working hard, he could build his business based on his own name and reputation and quality of work.
Phyfe’s workshop apparently took off immediately. At the peak of his success, Phyfe employed 100 craftsmen. Some economic historians point to Phyfe as having employed division of labor and an assembly line. What his workshop produced shows Phyfe’s absolute dedication to quality in workmanship. Each piece of furniture was made of the best available materials. He was reported to have paid $1,000 for a single Santo Domingo mahogany log.
Phyfe did not create new designs. Rather, he borrowed from a broad range of the period’s classical styles, Empire, Sheraton, Regency, and French Classical among them. Nevertheless, Phyfe’s high quality craftsmanship established him as America’s patriotic interpreter of European design in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Although the number of pieces produced by Duncan Phyfe’s workshop is enormous, comparatively few marked or labeled pieces have been found extant. In antiques shops and auctions, collectors have paid $11,000 for a card table, $24,200 for a tea table, and $93,500 for a sewing table.

Dịch bài đọc:
Duncan Phyfe đã tạo ra một số đồ nội thất đẹp nhất ở Mỹ. Họ của ông vốn là Fife, và ông sinh ra ở Scotland vào năm 1768. Năm 1784, gia đình Fife di cư đến Albany, New York, nơi cha của Duncan mở một cửa hiệu làm đồ nội thất. Duncan theo bước chân của cha mình và đã học nghề làm đồ nội thất. Sau khi hoàn thành khóa học, Duncan đã chuyển đến New York.
Duncan Fife lần đầu tiên được đề cập đến trong cuốn NYC Directory năm 1792 với tư cách là một "thợ lắp" nội thất làm việc tại số 2 Broad Street. Hai năm sau, ông chuyển đi, mở rộng kinh doanh, đổi tên thành Phyfe. Ông là một thanh niên tĩnh lặng, theo đạo giáo, cảm thấy tên mới của mình có lẽ sẽ thu hút những khách hàng tiềm năng, những người chắc chắn chống lại Anh trong giai đoạn hậu Chiến tranh Cách mạng.
Tên của Duncan Phyfe đã phân biệt ông với những người cùng thời. Mặc dù lối viết tên mới đã giúp ông cạnh tranh tốt hơn với các thợ thủ công người Pháp, tên mới của ông có liên quan đến việc phải treo nó trên một cái dấu trên cánh cửa.
Các nghệ nhân và các thương gia đến Mỹ đã khám phá ra một loại tự do độc nhất. Họ không còn bị hạn chế bởi các truyền thống của các tầng lớp và phường hội của Châu Âu. Lần đầu tiên trong lịch sử, một người đã học được rằng bằng cách làm việc chăm chỉ, anh ta có thể xây dựng kinh doanh dựa trên tên tuổi, danh tiếng và chất lượng công việc.
Xưởng của Phyfe dường như nổi tiếng ngay lập tức. Vào thời đỉnh cao thành công của mình, Phyfe đã thuê 100 thợ thủ công. Một số nhà sử học về kinh tế đã chỉ ra rằng Phyfe đã sử dụng phân công lao động và dây chuyền lắp ráp. Những gì xưởng của ông sản xuất cho thấy sự cống hiến tuyệt đối của Phyfe đến chất lượng trong tay nghề. Mỗi đồ nội thất được làm bằng các vật liệu sẵn có tốt nhất. Ông đã cho là đã phải trả 1.000 đô la cho một khúc gỗ gụ mộc mạc Santo Domingo.
Phyfe không tạo ra kiểu dáng mới. Thay vào đó, ông vay mượn từ một loạt các phong cách cổ điển của thời kỳ, Empire, Sheraton, Regency, và cổ điển Pháp trong số đó. Tuy nhiên, thủ công chất lượng cao của Phyfe đã giúp ông trở thành người phiên dịch yêu nước của Mỹ về thiết kế châu Âu vào cuối thế kỷ mười tám và đầu thế kỷ XIX.
Mặc dù số lượng các tác phẩm do xưởng của Duncan Phyfe sản xuất rất lớn, nhưng có ít dấu hiệu hoặc nhãn mác đã được tìm thấy còn tồn tại. Trong các cửa hàng bán đồ cổ và đấu giá, người thu mua đã trả 11.000 đô la cho một cái bàn chải len, 24.200 đô la cho một chiếc bàn trà, và 93.500 đô la cho một chiếc bàn may.

Cầu vồng là một hiển thị quang học về màu sắc thường xuất hiện trên bầu trời khi một chùm ánh sáng mặt trời lọt qua hàng triệu giọt mưa. Mỗi màu riêng biệt từ quang phổ sẽ được gửi đến mắt bạn. Để điều này xảy ra, góc giữa tia sáng, giọt mưa và mắt người phải nằm trong khoảng từ 40 đến 42 độ.
Sau khi nghiên cứu sâu về cầu vồng, Sir Isaac Newton đã có thể giải thích cách chúng được hình thành. Tuy nhiên, ông bị mù màu vì vậy ông phải dựa vào mắt trợ lý của mình, người có thể dễ dàng nhận ra tất cả bảy màu: đỏ, cam, vàng, xanh, xanh, chàm và tím. Trợ lý của ông cũng có thể nói rõ sự khác biệt giữa chàm và tím.
Có hai loại cầu vồng. Cầu vồng chính là phổ biến nhất và có màu sắc đặc biệt nhất, với màu đỏ xuất hiện ở bên ngoài và màu tím bên trong. Cầu vồng thứ bất thường bởi vì ánh sáng được phản xạ hai lần trong giọt mưa trước khi nó tạo thành một cầu vồng, vì vậy màu sắc theo thứ tự ngược lại và không sáng như cầu vồng chính.
Có một huyền thoại phổ biến rằng nếu bạn đến cuối một cầu vồng, bạn sẽ tìm thấy một nồi chứa vàng đang chờ bạn. Trên thực tế, không thể làm điều này, bởi vì một cầu vồng không có kết thúc - khi bạn đi đến chỗ mà cầu vồng dường như chạm đất, nó sẽ di chuyển ra xa nhanh như bạn đến gần.

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.
After the United States purchased Louisiana from France and made it their newest territory in 1803, President Thomas Jefferson called for an expedition to investigate the land the United States had bought for $15 million. Jefferson’s secretary, Meriwether Lewis, a woodsman and a hunter from childhood, persuaded the president to let him lead this expedition. Lewis recruited Army officer William Clark to be his co-commander. The Lewis and Clark expedition led the two young explorers to discover a new natural wealth of variety and abundance about which they would return to tell the world.
When Lewis and Clark departed from St. Louis in 1804, they had twenty-nine in their party, including a few Frenchmen and several men from Kentucky who were well-known frontiersmen. Along the way, they picked up an interpreter named Toussant Charbonneau and his Native American wife, Sacajawea, the Shoshoni “Bird Woman” who aided them as guide and peacemaker and later became an American legend.
The expedition followed the Missouri River to its source, made a long portage overland though the Rocky Mountains, and descended the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean. On the journey, they encountered peaceful Otos, whom they befriended, and hostile Teton Sioux, who demanded tribute from all traders. They also met Shoshoni, who welcomed their little sister Sacajawea, who had been abducted as a child by the Mandans. They discovered a paradise full of giant buffalo herds and elk and antelope so innocent of human contact that they tamely approached the men. The explorers also found a hell blighted by mosquitoes and winters harsher than anyone could reasonably hope to survive. They became desperately lost, then found their way again. Lewis and Clark kept detailed journals of the expedition, cataloging a dazzling array of new plants and animals, and even unearthing the bones of a forty-five-foot dinosaur.
When the party returned to St. Louis in 1806 after travelling almost 8,000 miles, they were eagerly greeted and grandly entertained. Their glowing descriptions of this vast new West provided a boon to the westward migration now becoming a permanent part of American life. The journals written by Lewis and Clark are still widely read today.

The Lewis and Clark expedition led the two young explorers to discover a new natural wealth of variety and abundance about which they would return to tell the world.
When Lewis and Clark departed from St. Louis in 1804, they had twenty-nine in their party, including a few Frenchmen and several men from Kentucky who were well-known frontiersmen. Along the way, they picked up an interpreter named Toussant Charbonneau and his Native American wife, Sacajawea, the Shoshoni “Bird Woman” who aided them as guide and peacemaker and later became an American legend.
The expedition followed the Missouri River to its source, made a long portage overland though the Rocky Mountains, and descended the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean. On the journey, they encountered peaceful Otos, whom they befriended, and hostile Teton Sioux, who demanded tribute from all traders. They also met Shoshoni, who welcomed their little sister Sacajawea, who had been abducted as a child by the Mandans. They discovered a paradise full of giant buffalo herds and elk and antelope so innocent of human contact that they tamely approached the men. The explorers also found a hell blighted by mosquitoes and winters harsher than anyone could reasonably hope to survive. They became desperately lost, then found their way again. Lewis and Clark kept detailed journals of the expedition, cataloging a dazzling array of new plants and animals, and even unearthing the bones of a forty-five-foot dinosaur.
When the party returned to St. Louis in 1806 after travelling almost 8,000 miles, they were eagerly greeted and grandly entertained. Their glowing descriptions of this vast new West provided a boon to the westward migration now becoming a permanent part of American life. The journals written by Lewis and Clark are still widely read today.

Dịch bài đọc:
Sau khi Hoa Kỳ mua Louisiana từ Pháp và biến nó thành lãnh thổ mới nhất vào năm 1803, Tổng thống Thomas Jefferson đã yêu cầu một cuộc thám hiểm để điều tra mảnh đất mà Hoa Kỳ đã mua với giá 15 triệu USD. Thư ký của Jefferson, Meriwether Lewis, một tiều phu và thợ săn, đã thuyết phục Tổng thống để ông dẫn dắt chuyến thám hiểm này. Lewis đã tuyển mộ sĩ quan quân đội William Clark làm đồng chỉ huy của ông. Chuyến thám hiểm của Lewis và Clark đã dẫn dắt hai nhà thám hiểm trẻ tuổi khám phá ra sự đa dạng tự nhiên và phong phú về điều mà họ sẽ quay trở lại để nói với thế giới.
Khi Lewis và Clark rời khỏi St. Louis vào năm 1804, họ đã có hai mươi chín người trong đội của họ, bao gồm một vài người Pháp và một số người đến từ bang Kentucky, những người khai phá nổi tiếng. Trên đường đi, họ đã thu một thông dịch viên tên là Toussant Charbonneau và người vợ người Mỹ bản xứ của anh, Sacajawea, "Người phụ nữ chim" Shoshoni, người đã giúp họ như người hướng dẫn và hòa bình, và sau đó trở thành một huyền thoại của Mỹ.
Cuộc thám hiểm theo sông Missouri đến nguồn của nó, đã thực hiện một chuyến đi dài qua dãy núi Rocky, và xuống sông Columbia đến Thái Bình Dương. Trong cuộc hành trình, họ gặp được Otos yêu hoà bình, người mà họ kết bạn, và thù địch Teton Sioux, người yêu cầu cống vật của tất cả các thương nhân. Họ cũng gặp Shoshoni, người đã chào đón em gái của họ là Sacajawea, người đã bị những người Mandans bắt cóc khi còn nhỏ. Họ khám phá ra một thiên đường đầy những đàn trâu khổng lồ và hươu cao quý và linh dương chưa hề tiếp xúc với con người đến mức chúng tình cờ tiếp cận những người đàn ông. Các nhà thám hiểm cũng tìm thấy một địa ngục bị tàn phá bởi muỗi và mùa đông nghiêm trọng hơn việc bất kỳ ai có thể tưởng tượng để tồn tại được. Họ đã lạc đường một cách tuyệt vọng, rồi lại tìm thấy đường. Lewis và Clark lưu giữ các ghi chép chi tiết của cuộc thám hiểm, liệt kê một loạt các loài thực vật và động vật mới mẻ, và thậm chí là khai quật xương của một con khủng long bốn mươi lăm foot.
Khi cả nhóm trở về St. Louis vào năm 1806 sau khi di chuyển gần 8.000 dặm, họ đã được háo hức chào đón và được tiếp đãi đàng hoàng. Những mô tả của họ về phương Tây rộng lớn này đã mang lại lợi ích cho việc di cư về phía tây giờ đây trở thành một phần lâu dài của cuộc sống Hoa Kỳ. Các ghi chép được viết bởi Lewis và Clark vẫn còn được đọc rộng rãi ngày nay.
