Nearly everyone today has access to a computer at home, at work or at school and knows how to use it. Some of us can use a computer for very basic things, others for more challenging tasks,but there is no question about it; today’s children are growing up in a world where it will be essential to have advanced computer skills to find work or be part of the modern community.Already schools are preparing young people at earlier and earlier ages to use technology. Many schools use computers in the classroom and it is routine for students to do online research for projects and even submit homework online.
However, experts say that schools need to do more. Using a computer is not the same as
understanding how it works. And educationalists want all children to have classes in computer programming, or coding, as it is called. In the past, the youngsters who coded were often male and had the reputation for being obsessed with computers. This earned them the nickname of ‘nerd’ or ‘geek.’ Today coding is becoming more popular and teenagers no longer care about such labels.
The main problem of giving coding lessons to every child is obviously related to having enough of the right equipment. Eben Upton wanted to solve this problem. He realized that the number of students who were applying to study IT at college was dropping and it was important to change this. So, he co-designed and developed an amazing little computer called the Raspberry Pi for use in schools. This is a tiny computer, the same size as a credit card. It can be connected to a computer monitor or TV screen and works with a normal keyboard and mouse. The Pi is small,cheap and effective. It allows students in classrooms to find out more about computers and how to code. Eben started selling the Pis in 2012 and now, there are more than two million in use worldwide.In spite of this progress, there are still not enough computers in classrooms. Amy Mathers is a very clever fourteen-year-old from Manchester and she recently won first prize in the ‘Digital Girl of the Year’ award. This award highlights the achievements of girls in Europe and hopes to encourage more girls to become coders. However, Amy could not use a Raspberry Pi at school. She had to buy one (or rather her mother did!) and she learned what she could do on it by herself and from organized free events such as ‘Manchester Girl Geeks’ workshops and ‘Codecademy’.Amy thinks more students should have the opportunities that she did. When asked at what age children should start to learn coding, Amy said that anyone who could read and type could learn to code! So, maybe we’ll soon see baby Raspberry Pis in toyshops?
Exercise 1 Read the article and choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).

1	What opinion does the writer express in the first paragraph?
A	Everyone should develop advanced computer skills.
B	Learning computer skills is very challenging.
C	Students can learn computer skills when they are very young.

2	Experts think that students __________.

A	should learn to make computers.
B	needn’t worry about nicknames.
C	require more instruction on writing computer programs.
D	have more chance of success with computers if they are male.
3	Eben Upton developed a computer __________.
A	to make it easier for school children to learn to code.
B	to increase the number of students going to his university.
C	to replace existing computers in schools.
D	to build a business and make money.

4 Amy Mathers is well-known because __________

A	she started a series of popular computer workshops.
B	she won an international competition.
C	she developed a better computer than the Pi.
D	she gives advice to students who want to become coders.
5	Which sentence best summarizes the article?
A	The Raspberry Pi has solved the problem for schoolchildren learning to code.
B	Education needs more investment to enable students to use computers well.
C	Girls are progressing faster and faster with computing skills.
D	Students need to learn code and they need to learn young.

THE DIGITAL DIVIDE

Information technology is influencing the way many of us live and work today. We use the Internet to look and apply for jobs, shop, conduct research, make airline reservations, and explore areas of interest. We use e-mail and the Internet to communicate instantaneously with friends and business associates around the world. Computers are commonplace in homes and the workplace.

Although the number of Internet users is growing exponentially each year, most of the world’s population does not have access to computers or the Internet. Only 6 percent of the population in developing countries are connected to telephones. Although more than 94 percent of U.S. households have a telephone, only 42 percent have personal computers at home and 26 percent have Internet access. The lack of what most of us would consider a basic communications necessity -the telephone -does not occur just in developing nations. On some Native American reservations only 60 percent of the residents have a telephone. The move to wireless connections may eliminate the need for telephone lines, but it does not remove the barrier to equipment costs.

Who has Internet access? Fifty percent of the children in urban households with an income over $75,000 have Internet access, compared with 2 percent ofthe children in low-income, rural households. Nearly half of college-educated people have Internet access, compared to 6 percent of those with only some high school education. Forty percent of households with two parents have access; 15 percent of female, single-parent households do. Thirty percent of white households, 11 percent of black households, and 13 percent of Hispanic households have access. Teens and children are the two fastest-growing segments of Internet users. The digital divide between the populations who have access to the Internet and information technology tools is based on income, race, education, household type, and geographic location. Only 16 percent of the rural poor, rural and central city minorities, young householders, and single parent female households are connected.

Another problem that exacerbates these disparities is that African-Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans hold few of the jobs in information technology. Women hold about 20 percent of these jobs and are receiving fewer than 30 percent of the computer science degrees. The result is that women and members of the most oppressed ethnic groups are not eligible for the jobs with the highest salaries at graduation. Baccalaureate candidates with degrees in computer science were offered the highest salaries of all new college graduates in 1998 at $44,949.

Do similar disparities exist in schools? More than 90 percent of all schools in the country are wired with at least one Internet connection. The number of classrooms with Internet connections differs by the income level of students. Using the percentage of students who are eligible for free lunches at a school to determine income level, we see that nearly twice as many of the schools with more affluent students have wired classrooms as those with high concentrations of low-income students.

Access to computers and the Internet will be important in reducing disparities between groups. It will require greater equality across diverse groups whose members develop knowledge and skills in computer and information technologies. If computers and the Internet are to be used to promote equality, they will have to become accessible to populations that cannot currently afford the equipment which needs to be updated every three years or so. However, access alone is not enough. Students will have to be interacting with the technology in authentic settings. As technology becomes a tool for learning in almost all courses taken by students, it will be seen as a means to an end rather than an end in itself. If it is used in culturally relevant ways, all students can benefit from its power.

According to paragraph 4, why are fewer women and minorities employed in the field of computer technology?

A. They do not have an interest in technology

B. They prefer training for jobs with higher salaries

C. They are not admitted to the degree programs

D. They do not possess the educational qualifications

Dịch nghĩa: Một vấn đề khác mà làm trầm trọng thêm những sự bất bình đẳng là người Mĩ gốc Phi, gốc Tây Ban Nha, và người Mĩ bản địa giữ rất ít trong số các công việc công nghệ thông tin. Phụ nữ giữ khoảng 20 phần trăm của các công việc này và đang nhận được ít hơn 30 phần trăm bằng cấp khoa học máy tính. Kết quả là phụ nữ và các thành viên của các nhóm dân tộc bị áp bức nhất không đủ điều kiện cho các công việc với mức lương cao nhất khi tốt nghiệp.

If computers and the Internet are to be used to promote equality, they will have to become accessible to populations that cannot currently afford the equipment which needs to be updated every three years or so. However, access alone is not enough. Students will have to be interacting with the technology in authentic settings. As technology becomes a tool for learning in almost all courses taken by students, it will be seen as a means to an end rather than an end in itself. If it is used in culturally relevant ways, all students can benefit from its power.

According to paragraph 4, why are fewer women and minorities employed in the field of computer technology?

A. They do not have an interest in technology.

B. They prefer training for jobs with higher salaries.

C. They are not admitted to the degree programs.

D. They do not possess the educational qualifications.

ĐÁP ÁN D

Thông tin: Another problem that exacerbates these disparities is that African-Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans hold few of the jobs in information technology. Women hold about 20 percent of these jobs and are receiving fewer than 30 percent of the Computer Science degrees. The result is that women and members of the most oppressed ethnic groups are not eligible for the jobs with the highest salaries at graduation.

Dịch nghĩa: Một vấn đề khác mà làm trầm trọng thêm những sự bất bình đẳng là người Mĩ gốc Phi, gốc Tây Ban Nha, và người Mĩ bản địa giữ rất ít trong số các công việc công nghệ thông tin. Phụ nữ giữ khoảng 20 phần trăm của các công việc này và đang nhận được ít hơn 30 phần trăm bằng cấp khoa học máy tính. Kết quả là phụ nữ và các thành viên của các nhóm dân tộc bị áp bức nhất không đủ điều kiện cho các công việc với mức lương cao nhất khi tốt nghiệp.

Như vậy nguyên nhân chính khiến phụ nữ và dân tộc thiểu số không nhận được việc làm trong lĩnh vực công nghệ máy tính là do họ không có bằng cấp cần thiết.

Phương án D. They do not possess the educational qualifications = họ không sở hữu những bằng cấp giáo dục, là phương án chính xác nhất.

A. They do not have an interest in technology = Họ không có một mối quan tâm đến công nghệ.

Không có thông tin như vậy trong bài.

B. They prefer training for jobs with higher salaries = Họ thích đào tạo cho công ăn việc làm với mức lương cao hơn.

Không có thông tin như vậy trong bài.

C. They are not admitted to the degree programs - Họ không được nhận vào các chương trình đại học.

Không có thông tin như vậy trong bài.

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 DIGITAL DIVIDE

Information technology is influencing the way many of us live and work today. We use the Internet to look and apply for jobs, shop, conduct research, make airline reservations, and explore areas of interest. We use e-mail and the Internet to communicate instantaneously with friends and business associates around the world. Computers are commonplace in homes and the workplace.

Although the number of Internet users is growing exponentially each year, most of the world’s population does not have access to computers or the Internet. Only 6 percent of the population in developing countries are connected to telephones. Although more than 94 percent of U.S. households have a telephone, only 42 percent have personal computers at home and 26 percent have Internet access. The lack of what most of us would consider a basic communications necessity -the telephone -does not occur just in developing nations. On some Native American reservations only 60 percent of the residents have a telephone. The move to wireless connections may eliminate the need for telephone lines, but it does not remove the barrier to equipment costs.

Who has Internet access? Fifty percent of the children in urban households with an income over $75,000 have Internet access, compared with 2 percent ofthe children in low-income, rural households. Nearly half of college-educated people have Internet access, compared to 6 percent of those with only some high school education. Forty percent of households with two parents have access; 15 percent of female, single-parent households do. Thirty percent of white households, 11 percent of black households, and 13 percent of Hispanic households have access. Teens and children are the two fastest-growing segments of Internet users. The digital divide between the populations who have access to the Internet and information technology tools is based on income, race, education, household type, and geographic location. Only 16 percent of the rural poor, rural and central city minorities, young householders, and single parent female households are connected.

Another problem that exacerbates these disparities is that African-Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans hold few of the jobs in information technology. Women hold about 20 percent of these jobs and are receiving fewer than 30 percent of the computer science degrees. The result is that women and members of the most oppressed ethnic groups are not eligible for the jobs with the highest salaries at graduation. Baccalaureate candidates with degrees in computer science were offered the highest salaries of all new college graduates in 1998 at $44,949.

Do similar disparities exist in schools? More than 90 percent of all schools in the country are wired with at least one Internet connection. The number of classrooms with Internet connections differs by the income level of students. Using the percentage of students who are eligible for free lunches at a school to determine income level, we see that nearly twice as many of the schools with more affluent students have wired classrooms as those with high concentrations of low-income students.

Access to computers and the Internet will be important in reducing disparities between groups. It will require greater equality across diverse groups whose members develop knowledge and skills in computer and information technologies. If computers and the Internet are to be used to promote equality, they will have to become accessible to populations that cannot currently afford the equipment which needs to be updated every three years or so. However, access alone is not enough. Students will have to be interacting with the technology in authentic settings. As technology becomes a tool for learning in almost all courses taken by students, it will be seen as a means to an end rather than an end in itself. If it is used in culturally relevant ways, all students can benefit from its power.

What can be inferred from paragraph 6 about Internet access?

A. The cost of replacing equipment is a problem.

B. Technology will be more helpful in three years

C. Better computers need to be designed.

D. Schools should provide newer computers for students.

Đáp án A

Thông tin: If computers and the Internet are to be used to promote equality, they will have to become accessible to populations that cannot currently afford the equipment which needs to be updated every three years or so..

Dịch nghĩa: Nếu máy tính và Internet được sử dụng để thúc đẩy sự bình đẳng, chúng sẽ phải trở nên dễ tiếp cận với các nhóm dân số hiện không có khả năng chi trả cho thiết bị mà cần được cập nhật mỗi ba năm hoặc lâu hơn. Như vậy có thể suy ra rằng người sử dụng không chỉ phải mua thiết bị mà còn phải tốn chi phí để nâng cấp, sửa chữa định kì.

Phương án A. The cost of replacing equipment is a problem = chi phí thay thế thiết bị là một vấn đề.

B. Technology will be more helpful in three years = Công nghệ sẽ hữu ích hơn trong ba năm.

Không có thông tin như vậy trong bài.

C. Better computers need to be designed = máy tính tốt hơn cần phải được thiết kế.

Không có thông tin như vậy trong bài.

D. Schools should provide newer computers for students = Các trường học cần cung cấp máy tính mới dành cho sinh viên.
