Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 10 to 14.

In the past, technology and progress was very slow. People “invented” farming 12,000 years ago but it took 8,000 years for the idea to go around the world. Then, about 3,500 years ago, people called “potters” used round wheels to turn and make plates. But it took hundreds of years before some clever person thought, if we join two wheels together and make them bigger, we can use them to move things

In the last few centuries, things have begun to move faster. Take a 20th-century invention like the aeroplane, for example. The first acroplane flight on 17 December 1903 only lasted 12 seconds, and the plane only went 37 metres. It can't have been very exciting to watch, but that flight changed the world. Sixteen years later, the first plane flew across the Atlantic, and only fifty years after that, men walked on the moon. Technology is now changing our world faster and faster. So what will the future bring?

One of the first changes will be the materials we use. Scientists have just invented an amazing new material called graphene, and soon we will use it to do lots of things. With graphene batteries in your mobile, it will take a few seconds to charge your phone or download a thousand gigabytes of information! Today, we make most products in factories, but in the future, scientists will invent living materials. Then we won't make things like cars and furniture in factories - we will grow them!

Thirty years ago, people couldn't have imagined social media like Twitter and Facebook. Now we can't llve without them. But this is only the start. Right now, scientists are putting microchips in some disabled people's brains, to help them see, hear and communicate better. In the future, we may all use these technologies. We won't need smartphones to use social media or search the internet because the internet will be in our heads!

More people will go into space in the future, too. Space tourism has already begun, and a hundred years from now, there may be many hotels in space. One day, we may get most of our energy from space too. In 1941, the writer Isaac Asimov wrote about a solar power station in space. People laughed at his idea then, but we should have listened to him. Today, many people are trying to develop a space solar power station. After all, the sun always shines above the clouds!

The writer says that in the past ___________.

A. people didn't invent many things

B. people didn't want to use wheels

C. most inventions were to do with farming

D. it took time for new ideas to change things

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 following sentences

Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it. It is directly related to cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex. A person of culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and music. Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education. At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values

Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national and global cultures. Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city. The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous. Yet this is misleading. While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of development in the 20th century. Cultures evolve or develop. They are not static. They have twists and turns. Styles change. So do fashions. There are cultural processes. What, for example, the word cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman) literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university education. No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture. As cultures express themselves in new forms not everything gets better or more civilized.

The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define. There is no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one. The only non-problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture). Since in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of reference is extremely wide

The author remarks that culture and civilization are the two words that_____

A. share the same word formation pattern

B. are both related to agriculture and cultivation

C. have nearly the same meaning

D. do not develop from the same meaning

In the past, technology and progress was very slow. People “invented” farming 12,000 years ago but it took 8,000 years for the idea to go around the world.

C. Ngày càng nhiều phát minh D. Tiến bộ bây giờ và sau đó

Bài viết nói về các tiến bộ ở quá khứ, hiện tại đồng thời dự đoán về tương lai

Chọn D

Dịch bài đọc:

Trong quá khứ, công nghệ và tiến bộ rất chậm. Người dân "đã phát minh" ra canh tác cách đây 12.000 năm nhưng phải mất 8.000 năm để ý tưởng đi khắp thế giới. Sau đó, khoảng 3.500 năm trước, người ta đã gọi "những người thợ gốm" sử dụng bánh xe tròn để quay và chế tạo những chiếc đĩa. Nhưng phải mất hàng trăm năm trước khi một người thông minh nghĩ rằng, nếu chúng ta kết hợp hai bánh xe lại với nhau và làm cho chúng lớn hơn, chúng ta có thể sử dụng chúng để di chuyển mọi thứ

Trong vài thế kỷ qua, mọi thứ đã bắt đầu tiến bước nhanh hơn. Lấy một phát minh của thế kỷ 20 như máy bay chẳng hạn. Chuyến bay đầu tiên vào ngày 17 tháng 12 năm 1903 chỉ kéo dài 12 giây và máy bay chỉ đi được 37 mét. Nó không thể rất thú vị khi xem, nhưng chuyến bay đó đã thay đổi thế giới. Mười sáu năm sau, chiếc máy bay đầu tiên bay qua Đại Tây Dương, và chỉ năm mươi năm sau đó, con người đi trên mặt trăng. Công nghệ hiện đang thay đổi thế giới của chúng ta ngày càng nhanh hơn. Vậy tương lai sẽ mang lại điều gì?

Một trong những thay đổi đầu tiên sẽ là các vật liệu chúng ta sử dụng. Các nhà khoa học vừa phát minh ra một vật liệu mới tuyệt vời có tên là graphene, và chúng ta sẽ sớm sử dụng nó để làm rất nhiều thứ. Với pin graphene trong điện thoại di động của bạn, sẽ mất vài giây để sạc điện thoại hoặc tải xuống hàng ngàn GB thông tin! Ngày nay, chúng ta tạo ra hầu hết các sản phẩm trong các nhà máy, nhưng trong tương lai, các nhà khoa học sẽ phát minh ra vật liệu sống. Sau đó, chúng ta sẽ không làm những thứ như xe hơi và đồ nội thất trong các nhà máy - chúng ta sẽ trồng chúng!

Ba mươi năm trước, mọi người không thể tưởng tượng ra các phương tiện truyền thông xã hội như Twitter và Facebook. Bây giờ chúng ta không thể thiếu chúng. Nhưng đây mới chỉ là khởi đầu. Ngay bây giờ, các nhà khoa học đang đưa vi mạch vào bộ não của một số người khuyết tật, để giúp họ nhìn, nghe và giao tiếp tốt hơn. Trong tương lai, tất cả chúng ta có thể sử dụng các công nghệ này. Chúng ta sẽ không cần điện thoại thông minh để sử dụng phương tiện truyền thông xã hội hoặc tìm kiếm internet vì internet sẽ ở trong đầu chúng ta!

Nhiều người cũng sẽ đi vào vũ trụ trong tương lai. Du lịch vũ trụ đã bắt đầu, và một trăm năm nữa, có thể có nhiều khách sạn trong vũ trụ. Một ngày nào đó, chúng ta cũng có thể nhận được phần lớn năng lượng từ vũ trụ. Năm 1941, nhà văn Isaac Asimov đã viết về một trạm năng lượng mặt trời trong không gian. Mọi người cười nhạo ý tưởng của ông, nhưng chúng ta lẽ ra nên lắng nghe ông. Ngày nay, nhiều người đang cố gắng phát triển một trạm năng lượng mặt trời trong không gian. Rốt cuộc, mặt trời luôn tỏa sáng trên những đám mây!
