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 36 to 42.

The Census Counts!

          Every ten years there is a national census to count the number of people. The census counts the number of people in each area, the number of men and women, their ages, their profession, their family size and status. The census is the only way to count everyone. Its results are used by a great many people and are available to everyone. The census is useful; it helps to work  out present and future needs for housing by seeing how many people are housed now, or the sizes and ages of their families. In addition, the size of annual grants made by the Government to  public services depends largely on the numbers and needs of people in the area provided by the census. Furthermore, the census shows how many people have moved from one area to another and how the number of the local work force is changing.

          The census is taken in order to provide the figures about the nation as a whole. It does not give information about any named person, family or household. Therefore, names and addresses are needed on the forms but they are not fed into the computer. After the census, the forms with the names on are locked away and will not be released to anyone outside the Census Office for 100 years. The answers people give on their census forms will be treated in strict confidence. Everyone working on the census is sworn to secrecy and can be sued if he or she improperly reveals information

The word “sued” in the last sentence is closest in meaning to________

A. legally sewn

B. legally sound

C. legally punished

D. legally fine

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 44 to 50.

The changing profile of a city in the United States is apparent in the shifting definitions used by the United States Bureau of the Census. In 1870 the census officially distinguished the nation's “urban” from its “rural” population for the first time. “Urban population” was defined as persons living in towns of 8,000 inhabitants or more. But after 1900 it meant persons living in incorporated places having 2,500 or more inhabitants. Then, in 1950 the Census Bureau radically changed its definition of “urban” to take account of the new vagueness of city boundaries. In addition to persons living in incorporated units of 2,500 or more, the census now included those who lived in unincorporated units of that size, and also all persons living in the densely settled urban fringe, including both incorporated and unincorporated areas located around cities of 50,000 inhabitants or more. Each such unit, conceived as an integrated economic and social unit with a large population nucleus, was named a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA).

          Each SMSA would contain at least (a) one central city with 50,000 inhabitants or more or (b) two cities having shared boundaries and constituting, for general economic and social purposes, a single community with a combined population of at least 50,000, the smaller of which must have a population of at least 15,000. Such an area included the county in which the central city is located, and adjacent counties that are found to be metropolitan in character and economically and socially integrated with the county of the central city. By 1970, about two-thirds of the population of the United States was living in these urbanized areas, and of that figure more than half were living outside the central cities.

While the Census Bureau and the United States government used the term SMSA (by 1969 there were 233 of them), social scientists were also using new terms to describe the elusive, vaguely defined areas reaching out from what used to be simple “towns” and “cities”. A host of terms came into use: “metropolitan regions,” “polynucleated population groups”, “conurbations,” “metropolitan clusters,” “megalopolises,” and so on.

Prior to 1900, how many inhabitants would a town have to have before being defined as urban?

A. 2,500

B. 8,000

C. 15,000

D. 50,000

Giải thích: “Urban population” was defined as persons living in towns of 8,000 inhabitants or more. But after 1900 it meant persons living in incorporated places having 2,500 or more inhabitants.

Dịch nghĩa: "Dân số đô thị" được định nghĩa là những người sống ở các thị trấn 8.000 dân trở lên. Nhưng sau 1900 nó có nghĩa là những người sống ở những khu vực hợp nhất có 2.500 cư dân hoặc hơn.

Như vậy, trước năm 1900 mỗi đô thị cần có ít nhất 8,000 cư dân. Con số này sau năm 1900 mới được thay đổi. Phương án B. 8,000 là phương án chính xác nhất.

Dịch nghĩa: Trong khi Cục điều tra dân số Chính phủ Hoa Kỳ sử dụng khái niệm SMSA (đến năm 1969 đã có 233 trong số đó), các nhà khoa học xã hội cũng đã đang sử dụng thuật ngữ mới để mô tả các khu vực mơ hồ, khó xác định vươn ra từ những gì từng là các "thị trấn" và thành phố" đơn giản.

Như vậy những khu vực thành thị hiện nay đã mơ hồ và khó nắm bắt hơn rất nhiều so với năm 1950, do đó mới có sự thay đổi tên gọi.

Phương án A. City borders had become less distinct = biên giới thành phố đã trở nên ít rõ rệt;  là phương án chính xác nhất.

          B. Cities had undergone radical social change = Các thành phố đã trải qua những thay đổi xã hội triệt để.

Không có thông tin như vậy trong bài.

          C. Elected officials could not agree on an acceptable definition = Các công chức được bầu không thể đồng ý về một định nghĩa có thể chấp nhận được.

Đáp án B

Giải thích: Then, in 1950 the Census Bureau radically changed its definition of “urban” to take account of the new vagueness of city boundaries …. Each such unit, conceived as an integrated economic and social unit with a large population nucleus, was named a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA).

Dịch nghĩa: Sau đó, vào năm 1950 Cục điều tra dân số thay đổi hoàn toàn định nghĩa về "đô thị" để tính đến sự mơ hồ mới của ranh giới thành phố .... Mỗi đơn vị như vậy, được quan niệm như là một đơn vị kinh tế và xã hội tích hợp với một hạt nhân dân số lớn, được đặt tên một Khu vực thống kê đô thị tiêu chuẩn (SMSA).

Như vậy cụm từ SMSA lần đầu tiên được đưa ra vào năm 1950. Phương án B. 1950 là phương án chính xác nhất.
