Câu 28:

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.

The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a single basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures, and particularly indigenous societies, the latter is the most common basic form of social organization.

A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one or two parents (e.g. a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other dwellings. In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the number of children in a nuclear family.

The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations not covered by the above definition. In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South American Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization. The term can differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes people related in age or by lineage. Anthropologically, the term “extended family” refers to such a group living together in a household, often with three generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal societies by the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure. However, in common parlance, the term “extended family” is often used by people simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though they are not living together in a single group.

Historically, most people in the world have lived in extended family groupings rather than in nuclear families. This was even true in Europe and in the early United States, where multiple generations often lived together for economic reasons. During the 20th century, average income rose high enough that living apart as nuclear families became a viable option for the vast majority of the American population. In contrast, many indigenous societies and residents of developing countries continue to have multiple generations living in the same household. The rise of the nuclear family in the modern West does not necessarily mean that family arrangements have stabilized, either. The rapid growth in single-parent households, for instance, also represents a substantial change in the traditional nuclear family. More couples are also choosing not to have children at all.

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.

The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a single basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures, and particularly indigenous societies, the latter is the most common basic form of social organization.

A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one or two parents (e.g. a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other dwellings. In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the number of children in a nuclear family.

The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations not covered by the above definition. In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South American Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization. The term can differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes people related in age or by lineage. Anthropologically, the term “extended family” refers to such a group living together in a household, often with three generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal societies by the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure. However, in common parlance, the term “extended family” is often used by people simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though they are not living together in a single group.

Historically, most people in the world have lived in extended family groupings rather than in nuclear families. This was even true in Europe and in the early United States, where multiple generations often lived together for economic reasons. During the 20th century, average income rose high enough that living apart as nuclear families became a viable option for the vast majority of the American population. In contrast, many indigenous societies and residents of developing countries continue to have multiple generations living in the same household. The rise of the nuclear family in the modern West does not necessarily mean that family arrangements have stabilized, either. The rapid growth in single-parent households, for instance, also represents a substantial change in the traditional nuclear family. More couples are also choosing not to have children at all.

Về mặt nhân học, thuật ngữ Gia đình mở rộng, đề cập đến một nhóm như vậy sống cùng nhau trong một gia đình, thường có ba thế hệ sống cùng nhau (ông bà, cha mẹ và con cái) và đứng đầu trong các xã hội gia trưởng bởi người đàn ông lớn tuổi nhất hoặc bởi một số nhân vật lãnh đạo được lựa chọn khác

=> Đáp án C

Dịch bài

Sự khác biệt giữa gia đình hạt nhân và đại gia đình là một gia đình hạt nhân đề cập đến một đơn vị gia đình cơ bản duy nhất là cha mẹ và con cái của họ, trong khi gia đình mở rộng đề cập đến họ hàng của họ như ông bà, vợ chồng, cô dì, chú bác, v.v. Trong nhiều nền văn hóa, và đặc biệt là xã hội bản địa, sau này là hình thức cơ bản phổ biến nhất của tổ chức xã hội.

Một gia đình hạt nhân bị hạn chế, theo Kristy Jackson của Đại học bang Colorado, với một hoặc hai cha mẹ (ví dụ: cha và mẹ) và con riêng của họ, hoặc con cái, sống cùng nhau trong một ngôi nhà hoặc những ngôi nhà khác. Trong nhân học, họ chỉ phải liên quan đến thời trang này; không có giới hạn trên hoặc dưới về số lượng trẻ em trong một gia đình hạt nhân.

Đại gia đình là một thuật ngữ mơ hồ hơn nhiều, nhưng về bản chất đề cập đến họ hàng hoặc quan hệ không được định nghĩa ở trên. Ở châu Âu và châu Á lịch sử cũng như ở các nền văn hóa thổ dân Trung Đông, châu Phi và Nam Mỹ, các nhóm gia đình mở rộng thường là đơn vị cơ bản nhất của tổ chức xã hội. Thuật ngữ này có thể khác nhau trong các cài đặt văn hóa cụ thể, nhưng thường bao gồm những người liên quan đến tuổi hoặc theo dòng dõi. Về mặt nhân học, thuật ngữ Gia đình kéo dài, đề cập đến một nhóm sống chung trong một gia đình, thường có ba thế hệ sống cùng nhau (ông bà, cha mẹ và con cái) và đứng đầu trong các xã hội gia trưởng bởi người đàn ông lớn tuổi nhất hoặc bởi một số nhân vật lãnh đạo được lựa chọn khác. Tuy nhiên, theo cách nói thông thường, thuật ngữ đại gia đình thường được mọi người sử dụng đơn giản chỉ để nói đến anh em họ, cô dì, chú bác của họ, mặc dù họ không sống chung trong một nhóm.

Trong lịch sử, hầu hết mọi người trên thế giới đã sống trong các nhóm đại gia đình hơn là trong các gia đình hạt nhân. Điều này thậm chí còn đúng ở châu Âu và ở Hoa Kỳ thời kỳ đầu, nơi nhiều thế hệ thường sống cùng nhau vì lý do kinh tế. Trong thế kỷ 20, thu nhập trung bình đã tăng đủ cao để sống xa nhau khi các gia đình hạt nhân trở thành một lựa chọn khả thi cho đại đa số người dân Mỹ. Ngược lại, nhiều xã hội bản địa và cư dân của các nước đang phát triển tiếp tục có nhiều thế hệ sống trong cùng một hộ gia đình. Sự gia tăng của gia đình hạt nhân ở phương Tây hiện đại không nhất thiết có nghĩa là sự sắp xếp gia đình cũng ổn định. Sự tăng trưởng nhanh chóng trong các hộ gia đình đơn thân, chẳng hạn, cũng thể hiện một sự thay đổi đáng kể trong gia đình hạt nhân truyền thống. Nhiều cặp vợ chồng cũng đang chọn không có con chút nào.


Câu 36:

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.

The weather is a national obsession in Britain, perhaps because it is so changeable. It's the national talking point, and most people watch at least one daily weather forecast. Most of the viewers imagine that the presenter does little more than arrive at the studio a few minutes before the broadcast, read the weather, and then go home.

In fact, this image is far from the truth. The two-minute bulletin which we all rely on when we need to know tomorrow's weather is the result of a hard day's work by the presenter, who is actually a highly-qualified meteorologist.

Every morning, after a weather forecaster arrives at the TV studios, his/her first task of the day is to collect the latest data from the National Meteorological Office. The information is very detailed and includes predictions, satellite and radar pictures, as well as more technical data. After gathering all the relevant material from this office, the forecaster has to translate the scientific terminology and maps into images and words which viewers can easily understand. The final broadcast is then carefully planned. The presenter decides what to say and in what order to say it. Next a “story board” is drawn up which lays out the script word for word.

The time allocated for each broadcast can also alter. This is because the weather report is screened after the news, which can vary in length. The weather forecaster doesn't always know how much time is available, which means that he/she has to be thoroughly prepared so that the material can be adapted to the time available.

What makes weather forecasting more complicated is that it has to be a live broadcast and cannot be prerecorded. Live shows are very nerve-racking for the presenter because almost anything can go wrong. Perhaps the most worrying aspect for every weather forecaster is getting the following day's predictions wrong. Unfortunately for them, this is not an unusual occurrence; the weather is not always possible to predict accurately.

These days, a weather forecaster's job is even more complicated because they are relied upon to predict other environmental conditions. For example, in the summer the weather forecast has to include the pollen count for hay fever sufferers. Some also include reports on ultraviolet radiation intensity to help people avoid sunburn. The job of a weather forecaster is certainly far more sophisticated than just pointing at a map and describing weather conditions. It's a job for professionals who can cope with stressful and challenging conditions.

The passage is mainly about _________.

The weather is a national obsession in Britain, perhaps because it is so changeable. It's the national talking point, and most people watch at least one daily weather forecast. Most of the viewers imagine that the presenter does little more than arrive at the studio a few minutes before the broadcast, read the weather, and then go home.

In fact, this image is far from the truth. The two-minute bulletin which we all rely on when we need to know tomorrow's weather is the result of a hard day's work by the presenter, who is actually a highly-qualified meteorologist.

Every morning, after a weather forecaster arrives at the TV studios, his/her first task of the day is to collect the latest data from the National Meteorological Office. The information is very detailed and includes predictions, satellite and radar pictures, as well as more technical data. After gathering all the relevant material from this office, the forecaster has to translate the scientific terminology and maps into images and words which viewers can easily understand. The final broadcast is then carefully planned. The presenter decides what to say and in what order to say it. Next a “story board” is drawn up which lays out the script word for word.

The time allocated for each broadcast can also alter. This is because the weather report is screened after the news, which can vary in length. The weather forecaster doesn't always know how much time is available, which means that he/she has to be thoroughly prepared so that the material can be adapted to the time available.

What makes weather forecasting more complicated is that it has to be a live broadcast and cannot be prerecorded. Live shows are very nerve-racking for the presenter because almost anything can go wrong. Perhaps the most worrying aspect for every weather forecaster is getting the following day's predictions wrong. Unfortunately for them, this is not an unusual occurrence; the weather is not always possible to predict accurately.

These days, a weather forecaster's job is even more complicated because they are relied upon to predict other environmental conditions. For example, in the summer the weather forecast has to include the pollen count for hay fever sufferers. Some also include reports on ultraviolet radiation intensity to help people avoid sunburn. The job of a weather forecaster is certainly far more sophisticated than just pointing at a map and describing weather conditions. It's a job for professionals who can cope with stressful and challenging conditions.

Dịch bài

Thời tiết là nỗi ám ảnh quốc gia ở Anh, có lẽ vì nó rất dễ thay đổi. Đó là điểm nói chuyện quốc gia và hầu hết mọi người xem ít nhất một dự báo thời tiết hàng ngày. Hầu hết người xem tưởng tượng rằng người dẫn chương trình làm ít hơn là đến trường quay vài phút trước khi phát sóng, đọc thời tiết và sau đó về nhà.

Trong thực tế, hình ảnh này là xa sự thật. Bản tin dài hai phút mà tất cả chúng ta đều dựa vào khi chúng ta cần biết thời tiết ngày mai là kết quả của một ngày làm việc vất vả của người trình bày, người thực sự là một nhà khí tượng học có trình độ cao.

Mỗi buổi sáng, sau khi một người dự báo thời tiết đến các trường quay TV, nhiệm vụ đầu tiên của anh ấy / cô ấy là thu thập dữ liệu mới nhất từ ​​Văn phòng Khí tượng Quốc gia. Thông tin rất chi tiết và bao gồm các dự đoán, hình ảnh vệ tinh và radar, cũng như nhiều dữ liệu kỹ thuật hơn. Sau khi thu thập tất cả các tài liệu liên quan từ văn phòng này, người dự báo phải dịch thuật ngữ khoa học và bản đồ thành hình ảnh và từ ngữ mà người xem có thể dễ dàng hiểu được. Việc phát sóng cuối cùng sau đó được lên kế hoạch cẩn thận. Người trình bày quyết định những gì cần nói và theo thứ tự để nói nó. Tiếp theo một bảng câu chuyện của người Viking, được vẽ lên trong đó đưa ra kịch bản từng chữ.

Thời gian phân bổ cho mỗi lần phát sóng cũng có thể thay đổi. Điều này là do báo cáo thời tiết được sàng lọc sau tin tức, có thể thay đổi độ dài. Người dự báo thời tiết không phải lúc nào cũng biết có bao nhiêu thời gian, điều đó có nghĩa là anh ấy / cô ấy phải được chuẩn bị kỹ lưỡng để vật liệu có thể được điều chỉnh theo thời gian có sẵn.

Điều làm cho dự báo thời tiết trở nên phức tạp hơn là nó phải được phát sóng trực tiếp và không thể được chiếu trước. Các chương trình trực tiếp rất gây căng thẳng cho người thuyết trình bởi vì hầu hết mọi thứ đều có thể sai. Có lẽ khía cạnh đáng lo ngại nhất đối với mỗi người dự báo thời tiết là nhận được dự đoán sai của ngày hôm sau. Thật không may cho họ, đây không phải là một sự xuất hiện bất thường; thời tiết không phải lúc nào cũng có thể dự đoán chính xác.

Ngày nay, công việc của một người dự báo thời tiết thậm chí còn phức tạp hơn vì họ dựa vào để dự đoán các điều kiện môi trường khác. Ví dụ, vào mùa hè, dự báo thời tiết phải bao gồm số lượng phấn hoa cho những người bị sốt cỏ khô. Một số cũng bao gồm các báo cáo về cường độ bức xạ cực tím để giúp mọi người tránh bị cháy nắng. Công việc của một người dự báo thời tiết chắc chắn phức tạp hơn nhiều so với việc chỉ vào bản đồ và mô tả các điều kiện thời tiết. Đó là một công việc cho các chuyên gia có thể đối phó với các điều kiện căng thẳng và đầy thách thức.
