Dịch bài:
Mọi người ngày nay ý thức được hơn động vật hoang dã khắp nơi trên thế giới đang gặp nguy hiểm. Nhiều loài động vật sẽ trở nên tuyệt chủng nếu chúng ta không cố gắng bảo vệ chúng. Có nhiều lý do cho vấn đề này. Trong vài trường hợp, động vật được săn lùng bởi lông của chúng hoặc cho khác bộ phận quý giá trên cơ thể chúng. Một số chim, như con vẹt, bị bắt sống và bán như thú cưng. Đối với nhiều động vật và chim, vấn đề ở chỗ môi trường của chúng - nơi chúng sống - biến mất. Đất hơn được dùng cho nông trại, cho nhà hoặc công nghiệp, và có ít khoảng trống mở hơn lúc trước. Nông dân sử dụng hoá chất mạnh để giúp phát triển mùa màng tốt hơn, nhưng hoá chất này làm ô nhiễm môi trường và làm hại động vật hoang dã hại. Thành công nhất động vật trên trái đất - con người - sẽ sớm là người duy nhất còn lại, trừ phi chúng ta có thể giải quyết vấn đề này.
Câu 38:
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.
Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road. Some of these are made on public transport but most are by private car.
In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g. getting to work, doing the shopping, and visiting friends. People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car. Some places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but to rely on their cars.
In the US large cities have good public transportation systems. The El railroad in Chicago and the underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used. Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars. Families often have two cars and, outside major cities, have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, shops, banks, etc. Many college and even high-school students have their own cars.
Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most towns and cities. Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at their own convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam. Long- distance coach/bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less comfortable. Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for business reasons, may be by air. There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to and from London. A lot of freight is also istributed by road, though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail.
In the US much long-distance travel is by air. America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by road.
The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and pollution. It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years, making both these problems worse. The British government would like more people to use public transport, but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours. Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough. Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom. Petrol/gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they see no reason to use their cars less.

In the US large cities have good public transportation systems. The El railroad in Chicago and the underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used. Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars. Families often have two cars and, outside major cities, have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, shops, banks, etc. Many college and even high-school students have their own cars.
Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most towns and cities. Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at their own convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam. Long- distance coach/bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less comfortable. Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for business reasons, may be by air. There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to and from London. A lot of freight is also istributed by road, though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail.
In the US much long-distance travel is by air. America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by road.
The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and pollution. It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years, making both these problems worse. The British government would like more people to use public transport, but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours. Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough. Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom. Petrol/gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they see no reason to use their cars less.

According to the passage, people in Britain refuse public transport because ______.
Chọn đáp án B
Dựa vào đoạn văn, người dân ở Anh từ chối sử dụng các phương tiện giao thông công cộng vì __________.
A. Họ thích đi chung xe với hàng xóm
B. Họ nghĩ nó không đủ tốt
C. Họ không thấy có lí do gì để ít sử dụng xe ô tô của họ đi
D. Giá xăng tương đối rẻ ở Anh.
Dẫn chứng: « Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough.” (Hầu hết mọi người nói rằng nó đơn giản là không đủ tốt)
Dịch bài đọc:
Hầu hết các nơi ở Anh và Hoa Kỳ được tạo ra bởi con đường. Vài này được làm trên phương tiện chuyên chở công cộng nhưng hầu hết là bằng xe hơi riêng.
Ở Anh nhiều người dựa vào xe hơi của họ cho hoạt động ở địa phương hàng ngày, chẳng hạn như bắt tay vào việc, mua sắm, và ghé thăm bạn bè. Mọi người sống ở khu đô thị có thể sử dụng xe buýt, xe lửa hoặc, ở Luân Đôn, xe điện ngầm, để đến trung tâm thành phố, chủ yếu vì xe cộ thường đông đúc và khó tìm bất cứ nơi đâu để đậu xe. Một nơi nào đó trong đất nước này có thể có xe buýt chỉ hai hoặc ba lần một tuần để mọi người sống ở đó buộc lòng phải dựa vào xe hơi của họ.
Ở Hoa Kỳ thành phố lớn có hệ thống phương tiện giao thông công cộng tốt. Đường sắt El trong Chicago và xe điện ngầm hệ thống New York, Boston, San Francisco và Washington, Dc được sử dụng nhiều. Nơi khác, hầu hết người Mỹ muốn sử dụng xe hơi của họ. Gia đình thường có hai xe hơi và, bên ngoài thành phố lớn, phải đi đường dài đi học, văn phòng, cửa hàng, ngân hàng, v.v Nhiều trường cao đẳng và học sinh trung học thậm chí có xe hơi của riêng mình.
Du lịch đường dài trong Anh cũng là chủ yếu bằng con đường, cho dù đường sắt liên kết nhất tỉnh thành và thành phố. Hầu hết các những nơi được liên kết bằng xa lộ hay khác nhanh đường và nhiều người thà lái khi thuận tiện còn hơn là sử dụng xe lửa, cho dù họ có thể bị kẹt xe. Xe khách đường dài / dịch vụ xe buýt thường là giải pháp thay thế rẻ hơn đến xe lửa, nhưng họ lâu hơn và có thể là ít thoải mái hơn. Một số du lịch đường dài, nhất là tiến hành cho lý do kinh doanh, có thể là bằng đường hàng không. Có chuyến bay thông thường giữa sân bay khu vực, cũng như và từ Luân Đôn. Nhiều vận chuyển cũng là được phân phát bằng con đường, cho dù món đồ nặng hơn và nguyên liệu thường đi qua đường sắt. Ở Hoa Kỳ nhiều du lịch đường dài là bằng đường hàng không. Mỹ có hai chính đường dài xe buýt công ty, Greyhound và Trailways. Amtrak, mạng quốc gia, cung cấp dịch vụ đường sắt cho hành khách. Công ty đường sắt tư nhân như là Union Pacific bây giờ mang chỉ vận chuyển, cho dù thực ra trên 70% vận chuyển chạy bằng đường bộ.
Vấn đề chính liên quan đến vận tải đường bộ trong cả hai Anh và Hoa Kỳ là tình trạng tắc nghẽn giao thông và ô nhiễm. Nó được dự đoán là số xe hơi trên con đường Anh sẽ gia tăng bằng thứ ba trong một vài năm, làm cả những vấn đề này tệ hơn. Chính phủ Anh muốn người hơn sử dụng phương tiện chuyên chở công cộng, nhưng cho đến nay họ đã đạt thành công chút ít trong thuyết phục mọi người từ bỏ xe hơi của họ hoặc để chia sẻ cùng đi hàng xóm. Hầu hết mọi người nói rằng phương tiện chuyên chở công cộng hoàn toàn chẳng tốt đủ. Người Mỹ quá đã kháng cự lại yêu cầu chính quyền để chia sẻ xe hơi vì nó là ít tiện lợi hơn và hạn chế tự do của họ. Xăng là tương đối rẻ ở Hoa Kỳ và bên ngoài phương tiện chuyên chở công cộng thành phố lớn xấu, vì thế họ xem không lý do để ít sử dụng xe hơi của họ hơn.

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 1826, a Frenchman named Niépce needed pictures for his business. He was not a good artist, so he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.
The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities, and mountains.
In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple and photographers had to carry lots of film and processing equipment. However, this did not stop photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840, daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.
Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer. He took many portraits of famous people. The portraits were unusual because they were lifelike and full of personality. Brady was also the first person to take pictures of a war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy film ready- made in rolls, instead of having to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later. They did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.
With a small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends, and favorite places. They called these pictures "snapshots".
Documentary photographs became popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used them. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawings.
Some people began to think of photography as a form of art. They thought that photographycould do more than show the real world. It could also show ideas and feelings, like other art forms.

Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities, and mountains.
In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple and photographers had to carry lots of film and processing equipment. However, this did not stop photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840, daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.
Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer. He took many portraits of famous people. The portraits were unusual because they were lifelike and full of personality. Brady was also the first person to take pictures of a war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy film ready- made in rolls, instead of having to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later. They did not have to carry lots of equipment.

Documentary photographs became popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used them. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawings.
Some people began to think of photography as a form of art. They thought that photographycould do more than show the real world. It could also show ideas and feelings, like other art forms.

Dịch bài đọc:
Vào năm 1826, Người Pháp đã đặt tên Niépce cần hình ảnh cho công ty của anh ấy. Anh ấy không phải là nghệ sĩ tài năng, vì thế anh ấy phát minh máy ảnh rất đơn giản. Anh ấy đặt nó trong cửa sổ của nhà của anh ấy và chụp hình sân của anh ấy. Đó là ảnh đầu tiên.
Quan trọng tới ngày trong lịch sử nghề nhiếp ảnh là 1837. Năm đó, Daguerre, Người Pháp khác, chụp hình vẽ của anh ấy. Anh ấy sử dụng mới loại của máy ảnh và quá trình khác. Ở hình ảnh của anh ấy, bạn thấy được mọi thứ rõ ràng, chi tiết nhỏ nhất dù. Loại ảnh này được gọi là phép chụp hình da - ge.
Sớm, người khác bắt đầu sử dụng tiến trình của Daguerre. Khách bộ hành mang lại phép chụp hình da - ge từ khắp nơi trên thế giới. Mọi người chụp ảnh toà nhà nổi tiếng, thành phố, và núi.
Trong khoảng 1840, quá trình đã được cải thiện. Sau đó nhiếp ảnh gia có thể chụp hình mọi người và di chuyển những thứ. Quá trình không đơn giản và nhiếp ảnh gia phải mang nhiều phim và chế biến thiết bị. Tuy nhiên, này không nhiếp ảnh gia dừng, nhất là ở Hoa Kỳ. Sau năm 1840, nghệ sĩ phép chụp hình da - ge phổ biến trong hầu hết thành phố.
Matthew Brady là một nhiếp ảnh gia Mỹ nổi tiếng. Anh ấy chụp chân dung những người nổi tiếng. Chân dung trông khác thường vì họ giống như thật và đầy tính cách. Brady cũng là người đầu tiên chụp hình chiến tranh. Bức tranh của anh ấy về cuộc nội chiến 1862 cho thấy chiến sĩ tử trận và thành phố bị hư hỏng. Họ làm chiến tranh trông có vẻ thực và ̣khủng khiếp hơn.
Vào những năm 1880, phát minh mới bắt đầu thay đổi nghề nhiếp ảnh. Nhiếp ảnh gia có thể mua phim sẵn sàng - làm trong cuộn, thay vì phải tự làm phim. Hơn nữa, họ chẳng cần phải xử lý phim ngay lập tức. Họ có thể đưa nó trở về với trường quay của họ và phát triển sau này. Họ chẳng cần phải mang nhiều thiết bị. Và cuối cùng, phát minh máy ảnh cầm tay nhỏ làm nghề nhiếp ảnh ít đắt đỏ hơn.
Với máy ảnh nhỏ, ai cũng có thể là nhiếp ảnh gia. Mọi người bắt đầu sử dụng máy quay phim chỉ để cho vui. Họ chụp hình gia đình của họ, bạn bè, và nơi được yêu thích nhất. Họ gọi hình ảnh này" ảnh chụp nhanh".
Ảnh phim tài liệu trở thành phổ biến trong báo chí vào những năm 1890. Sớm tạp chí và sách cũng sử dụng chúng. Hình ảnh này cho thấy sự kiện đúng và mọi người. Họ thực sự hơn rất nhiều so với bản vẽ.
Một số người bắt đầu nghĩ nghề nhiếp ảnh là một loại hình nghệ thuật. Họ nghĩ rằng nghề nhiếp ảnh có thể làm nhiều hơn cho thấy thế giới thực. Nó cũng cho thấy khái niệm và tình cảm, như loại hình nghệ thuật khác
