Throughout the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, citizens of the United States maintained a bias against big cities Most lived on farms and in small towns and believed cities to be centers of corruption, crime, poverty, and moral degradation Their distrust was caused, in part, by a national ideology that proclaimed farming the greatest occupation and rural living superior to urban living This attitude prevailed even as the number of urban dwellers increased and cities became an essential feature of the national
landscape Gradually, economic reality overcame ideology Thousands abandoned the precarious life on
the farm for more secure and better paying jobs in the city But when these people migrated from the countryside, they carried their fears and suspicion with them These new urbanities, already convinced that cities were overwhelmed with great problems, eagerly embraced the progressive reforms that promised to bring order out of the chaos of the city
One of many reforms came in the area of public utilities Water and sewerage were usually operated by municipal governments, but the gas and electric networks were privately owned Reformers feared that the privately owned utility companies would charge exorbitant rates for these essential services and deliver them only to people who could afford them Some city and state governments responded by regulating the utility companies, but a number of cities began to supply these services themselves Proponents of these
Trang 2reforms argued that public ownership and regulation would insure widespread access to these utilities and guarantee a fair price
While some reforms focused on government and public behavior, others looked at the cities as a whole
Civic leaders, convinced that physical environment influenced human behavior, argued that cities should develop master plans to guide their future growth and development City planning was nothing new, but the rapid industrialization and urban growth of the late nineteenth century took place without any consideration for order Urban renewal in the twentieth century followed several courses Some cities introduced plans to completely rebuild the city core Most other cities contented themselves with zoning plans for regulating future growth Certain parts of town were restricted to residential use, while others were set aside for industrial or commercial development

Bitcoins are a form of virtual currency In other words, they are a type of money that does not exist in the actual world However, they can be used to purchase actual products and services from real companies
The bitcoin system was created in 2009 by an enigmatic person named Satoshi Nakamoto In fact, no one
is sure if Satoshi Nakamoto is an actual person or a group of people Bitcoins are designed to serve as an
alternative to national currencies, such as dollars and euros They can be used to pay for things online
instead of cash or credit cards When bitcoins are transferred from a buyer to a seller, the transaction is recorded in a public database
Trang 4Governments are concerned that bitcoins can easily be stolen by hackers It has dawned on them that they might be used for illegal purposes For example, stolen goods could be purchased without the government’s knowledge Although more and more companies are beginning to accept bitcoins, the percentage of
purchases made using bitcoins is minuscule compared to other online payment methods, such as credit
cards Instead, many bitcoin owners simply keep them as an investment since they believe their bitcoins will be more valuable in the future
This may or may not be a wise approach Currently, the value of bitcoins is fluctuating wildly, especially when compared to highly stable national currencies Bitcoin investors are gambling on the hope that as this high-tech money becomes more widely accepted, its value will soar

The Effects of Desert Weather
Trang 8A desert is a type of landscape that receives little precipitation Deserts are normally defined as areas that
receive annual precipitation of less than 250mm But some places such as Tucson, Arizona receive more
but are still called deserts That is because they have a much higher rate of evaporation
Many environmentalists argue that desert regions are increasing This process is called desertification It happens when useful soil is blown away by wind Then the temperature rises, and an area that was once fertile becomes desert They say that this is due to global warming It is also due to overdevelopment Both
of these problems are major threats to humanity
True deserts have very spare vegetation These deserts exist in the most arid regions of Earth In these places, rainfall is rare and infrequent Deserts have a reputation for supporting little life But this is not true Deserts have many animals that hide during daylight About one fifth of the Earth is covered in desert
Desert landscapes are often composed of sand and rocky surfaces Sand dunes and stony surfaces called regs are often found in deserts Cold deserts have similar features but receive snow instead of rain Antarctica is the largest cold desert The largest hot desert is the Sahara
Most deserts have an extreme temperature range The temperature is very low at night This is because the
air is so dry that it holds little heat The desert cools as soon as the sun sets Cloudless skies also increase
the release of heat at night
Sand covers only about 20% of Earth's deserts There are six forms of deserts One of the forms is a
mountain or a basin desert Hamada deserts are comprised of plateau landforms Regs consist of rock
pavements Ergs are formed by sand seas Intermontane basins occur at high elevations Finally, badlands are arid regions comprised of clay-rich soil

The interrelationship of science, technology, and industry is taken for granted today - summed up, not altogether accurately, as "research and development." Yet historically this widespread faith in the economic virtues of science is a relatively recent phenomenon, dating back in the United States about 150 years, and
in the Western world as a whole not over 300 years at most Even in this current era of large scale, intensive
research and development, the interrelationships involved in this process are frequently misunderstood Until the coming of the Industrial Revolution, science and technology evolved for the most part independently of each other Then as industrialization became increasingly complicated, the craft techniques of preindustrial society gradually gave way to a technology based on the systematic application
of scientific knowledge and scientific methods This changeover started slowly and progressed unevenly Until late in the nineteenth century, only a few industries could use scientific techniques or cared about
using them The list expanded noticeably after 1870, but even then much of what passed for the application
of science was "engineering science" rather than basic science
Nevertheless, by the middle of the nineteenth century, the rapid expansion of scientific knowledge and of
public awareness - if not understanding - of it had created a belief that the advance of science would in
some unspecified manner automatically generate economic benefits The widespread and usually uncritical acceptance of this thesis led in turn to the assumption that the application of science to industrial purposes was a linear process, starting with fundamental science, then proceeding to applied science or technology, and through them to industrial use This is probably the most common pattern, but it is not invariable New areas of science have been opened up and fundamental discoveries made as a result of attempts to solve a specific technical or economic problem Conversely, scientists who mainly do basic also serve as
consultants on projects that apply research in practical ways
Trang 10In sum, the science-technology-industry relationship may flow in several different ways, and the particular channel it will follow depends on the individual situation It may at times even be multidirectional
Câu 8 (TH): What is the author's main purpose in the passage?
A To show how technology influenced basic science
B To describe the scientific base of nineteenth-century American industries
C To correct misunderstandings about the connections between science, technology, and industry
D To argue that basic science has no practical application
Câu 9 (TH): The word "intensive" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
A decreased B concentrated C creative D advanced
Câu 10 (TH): The "list" mentioned in paragraph 1 refers to
A types of scientific knowledge B changes brought by technology
C industries that used scientific techniques D applications of engineering science
Câu 11 (TH): The understanding of research and development in the late nineteenth century is based on
which of the following beliefs?
A Engineering science is not very important
B Fundamental science naturally leads to economic benefits
C The relationship between research and development should be criticized
D Industrial needs should determine what areas fundamental science focuses on
Câu 12 (TH): The word "it" in paragraph 2 refers to _
A understanding B public awareness
C scientific knowledge D expansion
Câu 13 (TH): The word "assumption" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _
A regulation B belief C contract D confusion
Câu 14 (TH): Why does the author mention "consultants" in paragraph 2?
A To show how new areas of science have given rise to new professions
B To distinguish between scientists who work in industry and those who do not
C To explain the ways in which scientists find financial support for their work
D To show how scientists who work in basic research contribute to applied science

Trang 16In the past, technology and progress were 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 aeroplane 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 live 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!
