Choose the correct answer A, B, C or D to complete the following passage. Greenhouse gases arise from a wide range of sources and their increasing concentration is largely related to the compound effects of increased population, improved living standards and changes in lifestyle. From a current base of 5 billion, the United Nations predicts that the global population may stabilize in the twenty-first century between 8 and 14 billion, with more than 90 per cent of the (36) ___ increase taking place in the world’s developing nations. The (37) ___ activities to support that growth, particularly to produce the required energy and food, will cause further increases in greenhouse gas emissions. The challenge, therefore, is to attain a (38) ___ balance between population, economic growth and the environment. The major greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are the only major (39) ___ to the greenhouse effect that does not occur naturally, coming from such sources as refrigeration, plastics and manufacture. Coal’s total contribution to greenhouse gas emissions is thought to be about 18 per cent, with about half of this coming from (40) ___ generation. The worldwide coal industry (41) ___ extensive resources to researching and developing new technologies and ways of capturing greenhouse gases. Efficiencies are likely to be improved dramatically, and hence CO2 emissions reduced, through combustion and gasification techniques which are now at (42)___ and demonstration stages. Clean coal is another avenue for improving fuel conversion efficiency. Investigations are under (43)___ into super-clean coal (35 per cent ash) and ultraclean coal (less than 1 per cent ash). Super- Trang 3/6
4. clean coal has the potential to enhance the combustion efficiency of conventional stabilized fuel power plants.

Men and women are often considered to be completely at odds with each other, in terms of their attitudes and behaviour. Not so when they are in love, new research has discovered. As (46) ___ as their hormone levels are concerned when men and women are in love, they are more similar to each other (47)___ at any other time. It has (48) ___ been known that love can (49) ___ havoc with hormone levels. For example, the hormone cortisol, which is known for its calming effect on the body, dips dramatically when one person is attracted to (50) ___, putting the love-struck on a par with sufferers of obsessive compulsive disorder. But a new study has found that the hormone testosterone, commonly associated with male aggression, also falls when he is in love. In women, it's quite the reverse. Testosterone levels, (51) ___ tend to be lower among females, rise towards (52) ___ of the male. Donatella Marazziti of the University of Pisa, Italy, (53) ___ this down to nature attempting to eliminate the differences between the sexes. By doing so, they can concentrate fully (54) ___ reproduction. This suggestion seems to be supported by the fact that neither couples in a long term relationship (55) ___ participants in the study who were single at the time of the experiment exhibited such changes. Section 3. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D to each question. 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 of the 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 Trang 4/6
5. 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. 56. Why does the author mention the telephone in paragraph 2? A. To demonstrate that even technology like the telephone is not available to all. B. To argue that basic telephone service is a first step to using the Internet. C. To contrast the absence of telephone usage with that of Internet usage. D. To describe the development of communications from telephone to Internet. 57. Which of the sentences below best expresses the information in the statement “Although the number or the Internet.” in paragraph 2? A. Most of the people in the world use the Internet now because the number of computers is increasing every year. B. The number of people who use computers and the Internet is increasing every year, but most people in the world still do not have connections. C. The number of computers that can make the Internet available to most of the people in the world is not increasing fast enough. D. The Internet is available to most of the people in the world even though they don't have their own computer terminals. 58. The word “eliminate” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___. A. accept B. dispute C. define D. remove 59. Based on the information in paragraph 3, which of the following best explains the term "digital divide?" A. The number of Internet users in developing nations. B. The disparity in the opportunity to use the Internet. C. Differences in socioeconomic levels among Internet users. D. Segments of the population with Internet access. 60. Why does the author give details about the percentages of Internet users in paragraph 3? A. To prove that there are differences in opportunities among social groups. B. To argue for more Internet connections at all levels of society. C. To suggest that improvements in Internet access are beginning to take place. D. To explain why many people have Internet connections now. Trang 5/6
