Dịch bài đọc:
Trong 20-50 năm tới, nói về sự khác biệt giữa con người và máy móc sẽ trở nên khó khăn hơn. Tất cả bộ phận cơ thể sẽ được thay thế. Máy tính sẽ hoạt động giống như bộ não con người có khả năng nhận ra những cảm xúc và trả lời bằng cảm xúc. Tiếp đó máy tính sẽ sản xuất ra người giả. Sau đó, chúng ta sẽ có thể tạo ra một bản sao thiết bị của chính mình vì vậy chúng ta sẽ xuất hiện trong trạng thái sống lâu hơn sau khi chúng ta chết. Có lẽ một vài thập kỷ sau đó, sẽ tìm thấy cách để dịch chuyển linh hồn của chúng ta, bao gồm những kỷ niệm và những suy nghĩ, đến cơ thể mới của chúng ta. Sau đó chúng ta có thể chọn sống bao lâu chúng ta muốn. Có thể nó sẽ đắt tiền. Khi có thể chuyển linh hồn, họ sẽ tìm ra cách để làm cho chúng tự động. Vì vậy, chúng ta sẽ có thể cư trú trong bất cứ bản sao chúng ta muốn, bất cứ khi nào chúng tôi muốn.
Robot thu nhỏ sẽ được tạo dựng để di chuyển thông qua dòng máu của bạn và chữa lành các tổn thương. Ngoài ra, robot lớn hơn sẽ được sử dụng khi bạn đang bị bệnh. Khi bạn đau bụng, bạn sẽ nuốt một robot có vị anh đào và nó sẽ đi di chuyển thông qua dạ dày của bạn để thu hình. Nó sẽ được thiết lập như một trò chơi ghi hình, vì vậy bạn có thể kiểm soát sự khám phá và việc lựa chọn các hình ảnh. Sau đó bạn có thể xem lại đoạn băng để giúp bác sĩ ch n đoán bệnh tật của bạn, hoặc để chứng minh cho ông chủ của bạn rằng bạn thực sự, bị ốm.
Câu 31:
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.
Continents and ocean basins represent the largest identifiable bodies on Earth. On the solid portions of the planet, the second most prominent features are flat plains, elavated plateaus, and large moutain ranges. In geography, the term "continent" refers to the surface of continuous landmasses that together comprise about 29.2% of the planet's surface. On the other hand, another definition is prevalent in the general use of the term that deals with extensive mainlands, such as Europe or Asia, that actually represent one very large landmass. Although all continents are bounded by the water bodies or high mountain ranges, isolated mainlands, such as Greenland and India-Pakistan areas are called subcontinents. In some circles, the distinction between continents and large islands lies almost exclusively in the size of a particular landmass.
The analysis of compression and tension in the earth's crust has determined that continental structures are composed of layers that underlie continental shelves. A great deal of disagreement among geologists surrounds the issue of exactly how many layers underlie each landmass because of their distintive mineral and chemical composition. It's also quite possible that the ocean floor rests on top of unknown continents that have not yet been explored. The continental crust is believed to have been forrmed by means of a chemical reaction when lighter materials separated from heavier ones, thus settling at various levels within the crust. Assisted by the measurements of the specifics within crust formations by means of monitoring earthquakes, geologists can speculate that a chemical split occured to form the atmosphere, sea water and the crust before it solidified many centuries ago.
Although each continent has its special features, all consist of various combinations of components that include shields, moutain belts, intracratonic basins, margins, volcanic plateaus, and blockvaulted belts. The basic differences among continents lie in the proportion and the composition of these features relative to the continent size. Climatic zones have a crucial effect on the weathering and formation of the surface features, soil erosion, soil deposition, land formation, vegetation, and human activities.
Mountain belts are elongated narrow zones that have a characteristic folded sedimentary organization of layers. They are typically produced during substabtial crustal movements, which generate faulting and moutain building. When continental margins collide, the rise of a marginal edge leads to the formation of large moutain ranges, as explained by the plate tectonic theory. This process also accounts for the occurrence of mountain belts in ocean basins and produces evidence for the ongoing continental plate evolution.

Although each continent has its special features, all consist of various combinations of components that include shields, moutain belts, intracratonic basins, margins, volcanic plateaus, and blockvaulted belts. The basic differences among continents lie in the proportion and the composition of these features relative to the continent size. Climatic zones have a crucial effect on the weathering and formation of the surface features, soil erosion, soil deposition, land formation, vegetation, and human activities.
Mountain belts are elongated narrow zones that have a characteristic folded sedimentary organization of layers. They are typically produced during substabtial crustal movements, which generate faulting and moutain building. When continental margins collide, the rise of a marginal edge leads to the formation of large moutain ranges, as explained by the plate tectonic theory. This process also accounts for the occurrence of mountain belts in ocean basins and produces evidence for the ongoing continental plate evolution.
The author in the passage implies that the disagreement among scientists is based on the fact that __________.

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.
Continents and ocean basins represent the largest identifiable bodies on Earth. On the solid portions of the planet, the second most prominent features are flat plains, elavated plateaus, and large moutain ranges. In geography, the term "continent" refers to the surface of continuous landmasses that together comprise about 29.2% of the planet's surface. On the other hand, another definition is prevalent in the general use of the term that deals with extensive mainlands, such as Europe or Asia, that actually represent one very large landmass. Although all continents are bounded by the water bodies or high mountain ranges, isolated mainlands, such as Greenland and India-Pakistan areas are called subcontinents. In some circles, the distinction between continents and large islands lies almost exclusively in the size of a particular landmass.
The analysis of compression and tension in the earth's crust has determined that continental structures are composed of layers that underlie continental shelves. A great deal of disagreement among geologists surrounds the issue of exactly how many layers underlie each landmass because of their distintive mineral and chemical composition. It's also quite possible that the ocean floor rests on top of unknown continents that have not yet been explored.

Dịch bài đọc:
Các lục địa và các lưu vực đại dương đại diện cho bộ phậm có thể nhận dạng lớn nhất trên trái đất. Trên phần rắn của trái đất, các cấu trúc nổi bật thứ hai là đồng bằng, cao nguyên, và dãy núi lớn. Trong địa lý, thuật ngữ "lục địa" đề cập đến bề mặt của các liên lục địa liên tục chiếm khoảng 29,2% bề mặt của hành tinh. Mặt khác, một định nghĩa khác phổ biến trong việc sử dụng chung thuật ngữ liên quan đến các lục địa rộng lớn, chẳng hạn như châu Âu hoặc châu Á, thực sự đại diện cho một vùng đất rất lớn. Mặc dù tất cả các lục địa bị bao phủ bởi các vùng nước hoặc các dãy núi cao, các lục địa bị cô lập, chẳng hạn như vùng Greenland và Ấn Độ- Pakistan, được gọi là tiểu lục địa. Trong một số vòng tròn, sự phân biệt giữa các lục địa và các hòn đảo lớn hầu như chỉ có quy mô của một vùng đất cụ thể.
Việc phân tích sức ép và sức nén trong lớp vỏ trái đất đã xác định rằng cấu trúc lục địa bao gồm các lớp nằm dưới lớp thềm lục địa. Rất nhiều bất đồng giữa các nhà địa chất xung quanh vấn đề xác định chính xác có bao nhiêu lớp nền tảng cho từng vùng đất do khoáng chất và thành phần hóa học riêng biệt của chúng. Cũng có thể là đại dương nằm trên những lục địa chưa biết chưa được khám phá. Lớp vỏ lục địa được cho là đã bị tràn ngập bởi phản ứng hóa học khi các vật liệu nhẹ tách ra khỏi các lớp nặng hơn, do đó lắng xuống các mức độ khác nhau trong lớp vỏ. Các nhà địa chất học có thể suy đoán rằng một sự phân tách hóa học xảy ra để tạo thành bầu khí quyển, nước biển và vỏ trái đất trước khi nó đông lại nhiều thế kỷ trước.
Mặc dù mỗi châu lục có các đặc điểm đặc biệt, tất cả đều bao gồm các kết hợp các thành phần bao gồm khiên, đai cao su, các lưu vực intracratonic, lề, cao nguyên núi lửa, và các đai bị chặn. Sự khác biệt cơ bản giữa các châu lục nằm trong tỷ lệ và thành phần của các đặc tính này liên quan đến kích cỡ lục địa. Các vùng khí hậu có ảnh hưởng quan trọng đến thời tiết và sự hình thành các đặc tính bề mặt, xói mòn đất, lắng đọng đất, hình thành đất đai, thực vật và các hoạt động của con người.
Vành đai núi trải dài qua các vùng rộng lớn có các tổ hợp trầm tích đặc trưng của lớp. Chúng thường được sản xuất trong quá trình chuyển động vỏ trái đất, gây ra sự xây dựng đứt gãy và xây dựng. Khi biên giới lục địa va chạm, sự gia tăng của cạnh biên tạo ra các dãy núi lớn như đã giải thích bởi lý thuyết kiến tạo mảng. Quá trình này cũng giải thích cho sự xuất hiện của các vành đai núi trong các lưu vực đại dương và tạo ra bằng chứng cho sự phát triển của lục địa đang diễn ra.

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.
In many experience, freshmen today are different from those I knew when I started as a counselor and professor 2 years ago. College has always been demanding both academically and socially. But students now are less mature and often not ready for the reponsibility of being in college.
It is really too easy to point the finger at parents who protect their children from life’s obstacle. Parents, who handle every difficulty and every other responsibility for their children writing admission essays to picking college courses, certainly may contribute to their children’s lack of coping strategies. But we can look even more broadly to the social trends of today.
How many people do you know who are on medication to prevent anxiety or depression? The number of students who arrive at college already medicated for unwanted emotions has increased dramatically in the past 10 years. We, as a society, don’t want to “feel” anything unpleasant and we certainly don’t want our children to “suffer”.
The resulting problem is that by not experiencing negative emotions, one does not learn the necessary skills to tolerate and negotiate adversity. As a psychologist, I am well aware of the fact that some individuals suffer from depression and anxiety and can benefit from treatment, but I question the growing number of medicated adolescents today.
Our world is more stressful in general because of the current economic and political realities, but I don’t believe that the college experience itself is more intense today than that of the past 10 years. What I do think is that many students are often not prepared to be young “adults” with all the responsibilities of life.
What does this mean for college faculty and staff? We are required to assist in the basic parenting of these students – the student who complains that the professor didn’t remind her of the due date for an assignment that was clearly listed on the syllabus and the student who cheats on an assignment in spite of careful instructions about plagiarism.
As college professors, we have to explain what it means to be an independent college student before we can even begin to teach. As parents and teachers we should expect young people to meet challenges. To encourage them in this direction, we have to step back and let them fail and pick themselves up and move forward. This approach needs to begin at an early age so that college can actually be a passage to independent adulthood.

How many people do you know who are on medication to prevent anxiety or depression? The number of students who arrive at college already medicated for unwanted emotions has increased dramatically in the past 10 years. We, as a society, don’t want to “feel” anything unpleasant and we certainly don’t want our children to “suffer”.
The resulting problem is that by not experiencing negative emotions, one does not learn the necessary skills to tolerate and negotiate adversity. As a psychologist, I am well aware of the fact that some individuals suffer from depression and anxiety and can benefit from treatment, but I question the growing number of medicated adolescents today.
Our world is more stressful in general because of the current economic and political realities, but I don’t believe that the college experience itself is more intense today than that of the past 10 years. What I do think is that many students are often not prepared to be young “adults” with all the responsibilities of life.
What does this mean for college faculty and staff? We are required to assist in the basic parenting of these students – the student who complains that the professor didn’t remind her of the due date for an assignment that was clearly listed on the syllabus and the student who cheats on an assignment in spite of careful instructions about plagiarism.
As college professors, we have to explain what it means to be an independent college student before we can even begin to teach. As parents and teachers we should expect young people to meet challenges. To encourage them in this direction, we have to step back and let them fail and pick themselves up and move forward. This approach needs to begin at an early age so that college can actually be a passage to independent adulthood.

Dịch bài đọc:
Theo nhiều kinh nghiệm, tân sinh viên ngày nay khác với những gì tôi biết khi tôi bắt đầu làm cố vấn và giáo sư cách đây 2 năm. Trường cao đẳng luôn luôn đòi hỏi học vấn và xã hội. Nhưng bây giờ sinh viên ít trưởng thành hơn và thường không sẵn sàng cho việc chịu trách nhiệm về việc học ở trường đại học.
Thật là quá dễ dàng để chỉ ngón tay vào các bậc cha mẹ bảo vệ con mình khỏi trở ngại của cuộc sống. Cha mẹ, người xử lý mọi khó khăn và mọi trách nhiệm khác cho con của mình khi viết bài tiểu luận nhập học để chọn các khóa học đại học, chắc chắn có thể góp phần làm cho trẻ thiếu các chiến lược đối mặt với khó khăn. Nhưng chúng ta có thể nhìn sâu hơn vào xu hướng xã hội của ngày hôm nay.
Bạn biết bao nhiêu người đang dùng thuốc để tránh lo lắng hoặc trầm cảm? Số sinh viên đến trường đã dùng thuốc vì những cảm xúc không mong muốn đã tăng đáng kể trong 10 năm qua. Chúng ta, như một xã hội, không muốn "cảm thấy" bất cứ điều gì khó chịu và chúng ta chắc chắn không muốn con cái chúng ta "chịu đựng".
Kết quả là do không trải qua những cảm xúc tiêu cực, người ta không học các kỹ năng cần thiết để dung thứ và vượt qua nghịch cảnh. Là một nhà tâm lý học, tôi nhận thức được thực tế là một số cá nhân bị trầm cảm và lo lắng và có thể được hưởng lợi từ điều trị, nhưng tôi đặt câu hỏi về số lượng ngày càng tăng của thanh thiếu niên đang dùng thuốc hôm nay.
Thế giới của chúng ta nói chung căng thẳng hơn vì những thực tế kinh tế và chính trị hiện nay, nhưng tôi không tin rằng ngày nay sinh viên chịu đựng sự căng thẳng ở trường đại học ngày nay lớn hơn so với 10 năm trước. Những gì tôi nghĩ là nhiều sinh viên thường không được chu n bị để trở thành "người lớn" với tất cả các trách nhiệm của cuộc sống.
Điều này có nghĩa gì đối với giảng viên và viên chức ở đại học? Chúng ta buộc phải hỗ trợ việc nuôi dạy cơ bản cho những học sinh này – những người than phiền rằng vị giáo sư đã không nhắc nhở cô về thời hạn cho bài tập được liệt kê rõ ràng trong chương trình học và những người lừa dối làm bài tập mặc dù hướng dẫn c n thận về đạo văn.
Là các giáo sư đại học, chúng ta phải giải thích ý nghĩa của một sinh viên đại học độc lập là gì trước khi chúng ta có thể bắt đầu giảng dạy. Là cha mẹ và giáo viên, chúng ta nên mong đợi những người trẻ tuổi gặp những thách thức. Để khuyến khích họ theo hướng này, chúng ta phải lùi lại và để cho họ thất bại, tự đứng lên và tiến lên phía trước. Cách tiếp cận này cần phải bắt đầu từ khi còn nhỏ để trường đại học có thể thực sự là một sự chuyển tiếp sang tuổi trưởng thành độc lập.
