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 39 to 43.

Accidents do not occur at random. People eighty-five years of age and older are twenty-two times likely to die accidentally than are children five to nine years old. The risk for native Americans is four times that for Asian-Americans and twice that for white Americans or African-Americans. Males suffer accidents at more than twice the rate of females, in part because they are more prone to risky behavior. Alaskans are more than three times as likely as Rhode Islanders to die in an accident. Texans are twenty-one times more likely than New Jerseyites to die in a natural disaster. Among the one hundred most populous counties, kern County, California (Bakersfield), has an accident fatality rate three times greater than Summit County, Ohio (Akron).

Accidents happens more often to poor people. Those living in poverty receive inferior medical care, are more apt to reside in houses with faulty heating and electrical systems, drive older cars with fewer safety features, and are less likely to use safety belts. People in rural areas have more accidents than city or suburban dwellers because farming is much riskier than working in a factory or office and because emergency medical services are less readily available. These two factors – low income and rural residence – may explain why the south has a higher accident rate than the north.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Children aged five to nine face the greatest accident risk.

B. All people face an equal risk of having an accident.

C. One in every 22 people aged 85 and over will die in an accident.

D. The risk of having an accident is greater among certain groups of people.

Điều nào dưới đây là ĐÚNG theo nội dung bài viết?

A. Trẻ em từ 5 đến 9 tuổi đối mặt với nguy cơ gặp tai nạn lớn hơn.

B. Tất cả mọi người đều đối mặt với nguy cơ gặp tại nạn như nhau.

C. Cứ 22 người ở độ tuổi từ 85 trở lên thì có một người chết do tai nạn.

D. Nguy cơ gặp tai nạn lớn hơn đối với một số nhóm người nhất định.

Nội dung của bài viết:

- Đoạn 1: So sánh về tỉ lệ gặp tai nạn giữa các lứa tuổi, chủng tộc, giới tính và các Bang ở Mỹ.

- Đoạn 2: Tỉ lệ gặp tai nạn cũng khác nhau giữa các nhóm người giàu và người nghèo; người sống ở nông thôn và người sống ở thành thị, ngoại ô; người sống ở miền nam và người sống ở miền bắc.

Chọn D

Dịch bài đọc:

Tai nạn không xảy ra ngẫu nhiên. Người từ 85 tuổi trở lên có khả năng chết do tai nạn cao hơn 21 lần so với trẻ em 5-9 tuổi. Nguy cơ cho người Mĩ bản địa gấp 4 lần người Mĩ gốc Á và 2 lần người Mĩ da trắng hoặc người Mĩ gốc Phi. Nam giới chịu tỉ lệ tai nạn cao hơn 2 lần nữ giới, một phần vì họ có xu hướng thực hiện các hành vi mang tính rủi ro nhiều hơn. Người Alaska có khả năng chết do tai nạn gấp 3 lần người ở Rhode Island. Người Texas có tỉ lệ chết trong thảm họa tự nhiên nhiều hơn người New Jersey 21 lần. Trong 100 hạt đông dân nhất, hạt Kern, California (Bakerfield) có tỉ lệ tử vong gấp 3 lần hạt Summit, Ohio (Akron).

Tai nạn xảy ra thường xuyên hơn đối với người nghèo. Những người sống nghèo khổ nhận được dịch vụ y tế kém, thường ở trong những ngôi nhà có lỗi về hệ thống sưởi hoặc điện, lái những chiếc xe cũ hơn với ít tính năng an toàn hơn, và ít dùng dây an toàn hơn. Người sống ở nông thôn gặp tai nạn nhiều hơn người thành phố hoặc người ở vùng ngoại ô vì việc đồng áng nhiều nguy cơ hơn hẳn làm việc trong một nhà máy hay văn phòng và bởi dịch vụ cấp cứu ít sẵn có hơn. Hai nhân tố này - thu nhập thấp và sinh sống ở vùng nông thôn - có thể giải thích được vì sao miền nam có tỉ lệ tai nạn cao hơn miền bắc.

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   22  to  26

A.   Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.

The ruined temples of Angkor are perhaps one of the mast impressive Seven Wonders of the World. Located in modern day Cambodia near Lake TonIe Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Asia, Angkor was the seat of power for the Khmer Empire from the ninth to the fifteenth century. The ruins of Angkor are documented as same .of the mast impressive ones in the world, rivaling the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Why this mighty civilization died out is a question that archeologists are now only beginning to ponder. The answer, it turns out, may be linked with the availability of fresh water.

One possible explanation far the downfall of the Khmer Empire has to do with the inhabitants' irrigation system. The temple and palaces of Angkor were constructed around a series of artificial reservoirs and canals which were annually flooded to capacity by the Mekong River. Once filled, they were used to irrigate the surrounding rice patties and farmland during the course of the year. Farmers were completely dependent upon the water for their crucial rice crop. Without consistent irrigation, the farmers would have been unable to maintain functional crop production.

Scientists speculate that toward the end of the Khmer Empire the hydraulic systems of the reservoirs and canals broke down. The construction of hundreds of sandstone temples and palaces required an enormous amount of physical labor. In addition, as the capital of the Khmer Empire, Angkor contained upwards of one hundred thousand people who resided in and around Angkor. In order to feed so many people, the local farmers were driven to grow food quicker and more efficiently. After centuries of continual use, the irrigation system was pushed beyond its capacity. Soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and the loss of water led to decrease in the food supply. With less food available, the people of Angkor slowly began to migrate to other parts of Cambodia thus leaving the marvelous city of Angkor to be swallowed by the jungle. Therefore, it is speculated that the Khmer Empire may have fallen victim to its own decrepit infrastructure.

22. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Modern day agricultural procedures in Cambodia.

B. A possible explanation for the, decline of a civilization.

C. The essential role water plays in farming.

D. Religious temples of the ancient Khmer Empire.

23. The passage preceding the passage most likely discusses ______.

A. architecture of ancient Asian civilization

B. religious practices of the people of Angkor

C. the form of government practiced by the Khmer Empire

D. the other six wonders of the world

24. According to the passage, Lake Tonle Sap in Cambodia ______.

A. is an enormous fresh body of water in Asia

B. was unable to supply enough fish for the people of Angkor

C. became polluted due to a population explosion

D. is one of the Seven Wonders of the World

25. Why does the author mention the hydraulic systems of the reservoirs?

A. They supplied irrigation from the Indian Ocean.

B. They became non-functional due to overuse.

C. They were destroyed by nearby warrior tribes.

D. They helped transport the sandstones for constructing temples.

26. It can be inferred from the passage that the inhabitants of the Khmer Empire ______.

A. were intentionally starved by the farmers

B. lost their food source due to excess rainfall

C. supplemented their diets with 'meat hunted in the nearby jungles

D. depended upon rice as their main source of food

27. All the following are mentioned as events that can affect food supply EXCEPT.

A. erosion of soil                                       B. contamination of soil

C. reduction of nutrients                            D. loss of water supply

             ‘The best age to start learning the violin is between three and six,' says Margaret Porter, a violinist and music teacher. 'It's the time when you are learning about the world.' Margaret, who lives in London, prefers to take pupils at three and four, although she has made lots of exceptions for keen five-year olds.

Parents also have to attend the classes. It is important that the parents take an active interest in the lessons.

            From the earliest lessons pupils learn to play by ear. They do not even try to read music until they have been playing for several years, and for a long time there is a big difference between their playing and reading of music.
