ĐƯỢC SƯU TẦM BỞI FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO PART 2: For questions 106-118, read the following passage and the tasks that follow Write your answers on the answer sheet (13 points) E-TRAINING A E-learning is the unifying term to describe the fields of online learning, web-based training, and technology-delivered instruction, which can be a great benefit to corporate e-learning IBM, for instance, claims that the institution of its e-training program, Basic Blue, whose purpose is to train new managers, saved the company in the range of $200 million in 1999 Cutting the travel expenses required to bring employees and instructors to a central classroom accounts for the lion’s share of the savings With an online course, employees can learn from any Internet-connected PC, anywhere in the world Ernest and Young reduced training costs by 35 percent while improving consistency and scalability B In addition to generally positive economic benefits, other advantages such as convenience, standardized delivery, self-paced learning, and a variety of available content, have made e-learning a high priority for many corporations E-learning is widely believed to offer flexible “any time, any place” learning The claim for “any place” is valid in principle and is a great development Many people can engage with rich learning materials that simply were not possible in a paper or broadcast distance learning era For teaching specific information and skills, e-training holds great promise It can be especially effective at helping employees prepare for IT certification programs E-learning also seems to effectively address topics such as sexual harassment education, safety training and management training - all areas where a clear set of objectives can be identified Ultimately, training experts recommend a “blended” approach that combines both online and in-person training as the instruction requires E-learning is not an end-all solution But if it helps decrease costs and windowless classrooms filled with snoring students, it definitely has its advantages C Much of the discussion about implementing e-learning has focused on the technology, but as Driscoll and others have reminded us, e-learning is not just about the technology, but also many human factors As any capable manager knows, teaching employees new skills is critical to a smoothly run business Having said that, however, the traditional route of classroom instruction runs the risk of being expensive, slow and, oftentimes, ineffective Perhaps the classroom’s greatest disadvantage is the fact that it takes employees out of their jobs Every minute an employee is sitting in a classroom training session is a minute they’re not out on the floor working It now looks as if there is a way to circumvent these traditional training drawbacks E-training promises more effective teaching techniques by integrating audio, video, animation, text and interactive materials with the intent of teaching each student at his or her own pace In addition to higher performance results, there are other immediate benefits to students such as increased time on task, higher levels of motivation, and reduced test anxiety for many learners A California State University Northridge study reported that e-learners performed 20 percent better than traditional learners Nelson reported a significant difference between the mean grades of 406 university students earned in traditional and distance education classes, where the distance learners outperformed the traditional learners D On the other hand, nobody said e-training technology would be cheap E-training service providers, on the average, charge from $10,000 to $60,000 to develop one hour of online instruction This price varies depending on the complexity of the training topic and the media used HTML pages are a little cheaper to develop while streaming-videos, presentations or flash animations cost more Course content is just the starting place for cost A complete e-learning solution also includes the technology platform (the computers, applications and network connections that are used to deliver the courses) This technology platform, known as a learning management system (LMS), can either be installed onsite or outsourced Add to that cost the necessary investments in network bandwidth Page of 14 ĐƯỢC SƯU TẦM BỞI FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO to deliver multimedia courses, and you’re left holding one heck of a bill For the LMS infrastructure and a dozen or so online courses, costs can top $500,000 in the first year These kinds of costs mean that custom e-training is, for the time being, an option only for large organizations For those companies that have a large enough staff, the e-training concept pays for itself Aware of this fact, large companies are investing heavily in online training Today, over half of the 400-plus courses that Rockwell Collins offers are delivered instantly to its clients in an e-learning format, a change that has reduced its annual training costs by 40% Many other success stories exist E E-learning isn’t expected to replace the classroom entirely For one thing, bandwidth limitations are still an issue in presenting multimedia over the Internet Furthermore, e-training isn’t suited to every mode of instruction or topic For instance, it’s rather ineffective imparting cultural values or building teams If your company has a unique corporate culture, it would be difficult to convey that to firsttime employees through a computer monitor Group training sessions are more ideal for these purposes In addition, there is a perceived loss of research time because of the work involved in developing and teaching online classes Professor Wallin estimated that it required between 500 and 1,000 person-hours, that is, Wallin-hours, to keep the course at the appropriate level of currency and usefulness (Distance learning instructors often need technical skills, no matter how advanced the courseware system.) That amounts to between a quarter and half of a person-year Finally, teaching materials require computer literacy and access to equipment Any e-learning system involves basic equipment and a minimum level of computer knowledge in order to perform the tasks required by the system A student that does not possess these skills, or have access to these tools, cannot succeed in an e-learning program F While few people debate the obvious advantages of e-learning, systematic research is needed to confirm that learners are actually acquiring and using the skills that are being taught online, and that e-learning is the best way to achieve the outcomes in a corporate environment Nowadays, a gobetween style of the Blended learning, which refers to a mixing of different learning environments, is gaining popularity It combines traditional face-to-face classroom methods with more modern computer-mediated activities According to its proponents, the strategy creates a more integrated approach for both instructors and learners Formerly, technology-based materials played a supporting role to face-to-face instruction Through a blended learning approach, technology will be more important Questions 106-111 The reading passage has seven paragraphs, A-F Choose the correct heading for paragraphs A-F from the list below Write the correct number i-xi in boxes 106-111 on your answer sheet i ii iii iv v vi vii viii ix x List of Headings Overview of the benefits for the application of e-training IBM’s successful choice of training Future direction and a new style of teaching Learners’ achievement and advanced teaching materials Limitations when e-training compares with traditional class Multimedia over the Internet can be a solution Technology can be a huge financial burden The distance learners outperformed the traditional university learners worldwide Other advantages besides economic consideration Training offered to help people learn using computers 106 Paragraph A 107 Paragraph B Page of 14 ĐƯỢC SƯU TẦM BỞI FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO 108 109 110 111 Paragraph C Paragraph D Paragraph E Paragraph F Questions 112-115 The reading passage has seven paragraphs A-F Which paragraph contains the following information? Write the correct letters A-F, in boxes 112-115 on your answer sheet 112 113 114 115 Projected Basic Blue in IBM achieved a great success E-learning wins as a priority for many corporations as its flexibility The combination of the traditional and e-training environments may prevail Example of a fast electronic delivery for a company’s products to its customers Questions 116-118 Choose THREE correct letters (A-E) which show the correct information in the passage Write the correct letters in box 116-118 (in any order) on your answer sheet A Technical facilities are hardly obtained B Presenting multimedia over the Internet is restricted due to the bandwidth limit C It is ineffective imparting a unique corporate value to fresh employees D Employees need block a long time leaving their position attending training E More preparation time is needed to keep the course at the suitable level PART 3: You are going to read an article Seven paragraphs have been removed from the article For questions 119-125, choose from the paragraphs, A-H, the one which fits each gap There is one extra paragraph which you not need to use Write your answers on the answer sheet (7 points) HELP GUIDE US THROUGH THE UNIVERSE Sir Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal, launches this year's Young Science Writer competition If you ask scientists what they’re doing, the answer won’t be ‘Finding the origin of the universe’, ‘Seeking the cure for cancer’ or suchlike It will involve something very specialised, a small piece of the jigsaw that builds up the big picture 119 So, unless they are cranks or geniuses, scientists don’t shoot directly for a grand goal - they focus on bite-sized problems that seem timely and tractable But this strategy (though prudent) carries an occupational risk: they may forget they’re wearing blinkers and fail to see their own work in its proper perspective 120 I would personally derive far less satisfaction from my research if it interested only a few other academics But presenting one’s work to non-socialists isn’t easy We scientists often it badly, although the experience helps us to see our work in a broader context Journalists can it better, and their efforts can put a key discovery in perspective, converting an arcane paper published in an obscure journal into a tale that can inspire others 121 On such occasions, people often raise general concerns about the way science is going and the impact it may have; they wonder whether taxpayers get value for money from the research they support More intellectual audiences wonder about the basic nature of science: how objective can we be? And how Page 10 of 14 ĐƯỢC SƯU TẦM BỞI FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO creative? Is science genuinely a progressive enterprise? What are its limits and are we anywhere near them? It is hard to explain, in simple language, even a scientific concept that you understand well My own (not always effective) attempts have deepened my respect for science reporters, who have to assimilate quickly, with a looming deadline, a topic they may be quite unfamiliar with 122 It's unusual for science to earn newspaper headlines Coverage that has to be restricted to crisp newsworthy breakthroughs in any case distorts the way science develops Scientific advances are usually gradual and cumulative, and better suited to feature articles, or documentaries - or even books, for which the latent demand is surprisingly strong For example, millions bought A Brief History of Time, which caught the public imagination 123 Nevertheless, serious books find a ready market That's the good news for anyone who wants to enter this competition But books on pyramidology, visitations by aliens, and suchlike even better: a symptom of a fascination with the paranormal and ‘New Age’ concepts It is depressing that these are often featured uncritically in the media, distracting attention from more genuine advances 124 Most scientists are quite ordinary, and their lives unremarkable But occasionally they exemplify the link between genius and madness; these ‘eccentrics’ are more enticing biographees 125 There seems, gratifyingly, to be no single ‘formula’ for science writing - many themes are still underexploited Turning out even 700 words seems a daunting task if you’re faced with a clean sheet of paper or a blank screen, but less so if you have done enough reading and interviewing on a subject to become inspired For research students who enter the competition, science (and how you it) is probably more interesting than personal autobiography But if, in later life, you become both brilliant and crazy, you can hope that someone else writes a best-seller about you A However, over-sensational claims are a hazard for them Some researchers themselves ‘hype up’ new discoveries to attract press interest Maybe it matters little what people believe about Darwinism or cosmology But we should be more concerned that misleading or over-confident claims on any topic of practical import don’t gain wide currency Hopes of miracle cures can be raised; risks can be either exaggerated, or else glossed over for commercial pressures Science popularisers - perhaps even those who enter this competition - have to be as sceptical of some scientific claims as journalists routinely are of politicians B Despite this, there’s a tendency in recent science writing to be chatty, laced with gossip and biographical detail But are scientists as interesting as their science? The lives of Albert Einstein and Richard Feyman are of interest, but is that true of the routine practitioner? C Two mathematicians have been treated as such in recent books: Paul Erdos, the obsessive itinerant Hungarian (who described himself as ‘a machine for turning coffee into theorems’) and John Nash, a pioneer of game theory, who resurfaced in his sixties, after 30 years of insanity, to receive a Nobel Prize D For example, the American physicist Robert Wilson spent months carrying out meticulous measurements with a microwave antenna which eventually revealed the ‘afterglow of creation’ - the ‘echo’ of the Big Bang with which our universe began Wilson was one of the rare scientists with the luck and talent to make a really great discovery, but afterwards he acknowledged that its importance didn’t sink in until he read a ‘popular’ description of it in the New York Times E More surprising was the commercial success of Sir Roger Penrose’s The Emperor’s New Mind This is a fascinating romp through Penrose’s eclectic enthusiasms - enjoyable and enlightening But it was a surprising best seller, as much of it is heavy going The sales pitch ‘great scientist says mind is more than a mere machine’ was plainly alluring Many who bought it must have got a nasty surprise when they opened it Page 11 of 14 ĐƯỢC SƯU TẦM BỞI FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO F G H But if they have judged right, it won't be a trivial problem - indeed it will be the most difficult that they are likely to make progress on The great zoologist Sir Peter Medawar famously described scientific work as ‘the art of the soluble’ ‘Scientists,’ he wrote, ‘get no credit for failing to solve a problem beyond their capacities They earn at best the kindly contempt reserved for utopian politicians.’ This may be because, for non-specialists, it is tricky to demarcate well-based ideas from flaky speculation But it’s crucially important not to blur this distinction when writing articles for a general readership Otherwise credulous readers may take too much on trust, whereas hard- nosed sceptics may reject all scientific claims, without appreciating that some have firm empirical support Such a possibility is one reason why this competition to encourage young people to take up science writing is so important and why I am helping to launch it today Another is that popular science writing can address wider issues When I give talks about astronomy and cosmology, the questions that interest people most are the truly ‘fundamental’ ones that I can’t answer: ‘Is there life in space?’, ‘Is the universe infinite?’ or ‘Why didn’t the Big Bang happen sooner?’ PART 4: For questions 126-135, read an extract from an article on the design of green buildings and choose the answer (A, B, C, or D) that fits best according to the text Write your answers on the answer sheet (10 points) THE SEARCH FOR EARTH-LIKE PLANETS Astronomers have discovered more than 400 exoplanets, or, planets outside our solar system Some of these planets have Earth-like qualities However, many of these exoplanets are as large as Jupiter, and it is unlikely that they are habitable A planet in the “habitable zone” means the planet is located at a distance from its sun suitable enough to allow for the existence of water on its surface This is called the “Goldilocks position”, meaning the planet is neither too hot nor too cold In order to find planets that are light years from our own solar system, astronomers use two types of telescope, each with sensitive instruments that employ special techniques, to aid in the acquisition of data: ground-based and orbiting telescopes In 2007, a team of Swiss scientists discovered the first Earthlike planet outside our solar system, Gliese 581, estimated to be approximately 50 percent bigger than Earth Located about 20.5 light years from our world, Gliese 581 orbits a red dwarf star To identify this new planet, the astronomy team used a spectroscopic instrument known as HARPS, which is linked to a 3.6-meter telescope at the European Southern Observatory in La Silla, Chile Spectroscopic instruments use a Doppler, or "wobble" technique, to identify radial velocity - how fast a star moves toward or away from the point of observation By analyzing the wavelength of light emitted from a star, the instrument is therefore able to calibrate the mass of a planet in the star’s orbit With the wobble technique, astronomers are only able to perceive a planet that is less than 160 light years from Earth Employing this technique can be slow, because astronomers must wait for the planet to make one complete orbit of its sun in order to confirm their data Though earth-bound telescopic systems like HARPS at La Silla play a prominent role in space exploration, orbiting telescopes, like the Hubble Space Telescope and the Kepler Orbiting Telescope, can provide astrophysicists with different data Circling 380 miles above the Earth, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is about the size of a yellow school bus Soon after its launch in 1990, astronomers were shocked to find that images sent back by the Hubble were slightly blurry due to a defective mirror To remedy this problem, NASA created a special lens for the Hubble, similar to the way eyeglasses correct human eyesight, in a special mission, a team of astronauts serviced the Hubble by mounting this corrective lens They also added several other specialized instruments, including an infrared camera and a spectrograph, which is used to analyze light Among the Hubble’s discoveries are new planets, newly born stars, various nebulae, and even collisions of asteroids on the planet Jupiter In joint observation with several ground-based telescopes, the Hubble found several exoplanets that exist in a habitable zone Page 12 of 14 ĐƯỢC SƯU TẦM BỞI FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO from their stars It is also credited with the discovery of a molecule of methane gas in the atmosphere of a Jupiter-sized exoplanet, supporting the theory of life forms in space In 2009, NASA launched the Kepler Orbiting Telescope Its primary task is to focus on, or "stare at", the stars Instead of orbiting the Earth like the Hubble, it "trails" the Earth, meaning it travels behind the Earth’s orbit around the Sun The Kepler’s mission is to observe about 150,000 stars and determine if these stars contain planetary systems, most particularly, habitable planets Unlike the La Silla and Hubble telescopes, the Kepler Orbiting Telescope uses a photometric instrument to measure light emanating from a star When a planet passes in front of a star (similar to an observation of Mercury or Venus crossing in front of the Sun), the Kepler telescope analyzes a change in the intensity of light emitted by that star This process allows astronomers to evaluate and examine the data further to determine if one or more planets may orbit the star The Kepler Orbiting Telescope accomplished its primary objective in 2010: to find Earth-like planets It discovered seven planets - some almost as large as Jupiter - beyond our solar system While many astrophysicists and astrobiologists have argued the unlikelihood of life forms on other planets, the data from the Kepler Orbiting Telescope suggests the contrary 126 According to paragraph 1, what is true about "exoplanets"? A Most of them are considerably smaller than the planet Jupiter B Those that are as large as Jupiter probably cannot sustain life C They are found within our solar system D They are larger than the Earth 127 In paragraph 1, why does the author use the phrase the Goldilocks position? A To support the concept of Earth-like exoplanets B To demonstrate the unlikelihood of a planet being Earth-like C To illustrate the differences between a habitable and uninhabitable planet D To explain the conditions needed for a planet to be considered habitable 128 In paragraph 2, all of the following are true about Gliese 581 EXCEPT A it is half the size larger than Earth B it is probably in a habitable zone C it is in our solar system D it has its own sun 129 In paragraph 2, which of the following best expresses the essential information in the underlined sentence? Incorrect answer choices change the meaning or leave out essential information A Wobble techniques are used to demonstrate the use of a spectroscope B Using the wobble technique, spectroscopic instruments can determine a star’s speed C A star can move very fast away from the Earth, therefore it is necessary to use a wobble technique D In radial velocity, a star can move so quickly that it wobbles, which can be seen by using a telescope 130 The word blurry in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A clear B cloudy C stormy D indistinct 131 According to paragraph 3, what problem did the Hubble Space Telescope have? A Its mirror was flawed B NASA damaged its mirror C A lens on its camera was broken D It did not have an infrared camera 132 The word it in paragraph refers to A observation B the Hubble Space Telescope C a molecule D a habitable zone 133 Why does the author mention the molecule of methane in paragraph 3? A To support his statement about habitable planets Page 13 of 14 ĐƯỢC SƯU TẦM BỞI FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO B To give evidence of one of the Hubble Space Telescope's uses C To give the Hubble credit for the discovery of a new gas D To illustrate the possibility for the existence of other life forms in the universe 134 According to paragraph 4, what can be inferred about the Kepler’s main purpose? A To search for new planets B To focus on threatening asteroids C To trail closely behind the Earth’s orbit D To determine if star systems contain potentially habitable planets 135 The author of the passage suggests that A the Kepler Orbiting Telescope did not meet its goals B the Kepler’s data proves that life beyond our solar system is unlikely C most scientists doubt the usefulness of the Kepler Orbiting telescope D the discovery of Earth-like planets does not mean they are habitable PART 5: You are going to read some extracts taken from an article Choose from the sections (A-D) the correct answer to each of the questions from 136 to 145 The sections may be chosen more than once Write your answers on the answer sheet (10 points) A Monosodium Glutamate Good food is one of life’s pleasures and even 1,200 years ago, oriental cooks knew that food tasted better when prepared with a soup stock made from a type of seaweed But it was only in 1908 that Japanese scientists identified the ingredient responsible for enhancing flavour That ingredient is known today by its scientific name, monosodium glutamate It is often referred to as MSG and it is an amino acid found in virtually all foods The bound form is linked to other amino acids in proteins and is manufactured in the human body The free form of glutamate in foods enhances food flavours Tomatoes, cheese and mushrooms are just some free glutamate rich foods Free glutamate content increases during ripening, bringing out a fuller taste in many foods and is made as a flavour enhancer by a fermentation process similar to that used for making soy sauce and vinegar People have long known about the four basic tastes - sweet, sour, salty and bitter But now a fifth basic taste called umami has been recognised This is imparted to foods by glutamate and is responsible for the savoury taste of many foods, such as tomatoes and cheese B Organic Food & Business Organic farmers pride themselves on fostering sustainable agriculture, but it remains to be seen if the industry’s rapid growth is in fact sustainable One challenge facing the industry is to bring the price of organic products more in line with those of conventional products The price of organic ingredients is improving but demand still outpaces supply However, supply issues are overshadowed by the fact that the organic foods sector continues to grow faster than the food industry as a whole, fundamentally due to the natural alliance between organic crops and processed foods Firstly, organic foods earmarked for processing not have to be as cosmetically perfect as their fresh counterparts In addition, freezing or tinning reduces many of the shelf-life problems associated with fresh produce It was only a question of time before mainstream food companies woke up to these synergies The pioneers of the organic food industry view the growing presence of major food companies in their markets as a mixed blessing Many smaller companies fear that the ideals of organic agriculture will be compromised Others think major food companies will help persuade consumers to buy organic products through the power of their branding C Chilli Page 14 of 14 ĐƯỢC SƯU TẦM BỞI FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO Capsicums, commonly known as chillis, come in all dimensions and colours from the tiny, pointed, extremely hot, bird’s eye chilli, to the large, mild, fleshy peppers like the Anaheim Indigenous to Central and South America and the West Indies, they were cultivated long before the Spanish conquest, which was the eventual cause of their introduction to Europe Chillis along with tomatoes, avocados, vanilla and chocolate changed the flavours of the known world Today, there are around 400 different varieties of chillis grown They are easy to cultivate and are one of the world’s most widely distributed crops, available for sale at most food outlets In 1902, a method was developed for measuring the strength of a given variety of capsicum, ranking it on a predetermined scale This originally meant tasting the peppers, but nowadays it can be done more accurately with the help of computers to rate the peppers in units to indicate parts per million of capsaicin This potent chemical not only causes the fiery sensation, but also triggers the brain to produce endorphins, natural painkillers that promote a sense of well-being D Writing about Cooking Two cookery writers are often credited with the present revival of interest in food and cooking Elizabeth David discovered her taste for good food when she lived with a French family for two years After returning to England, she learnt to cook so that she could reproduce some of the food that she had come to appreciate in France Her first book appeared when rationing was still in force after the war and most of the ingredients she had so lovingly described were not available At the time, her book was read rather than used, and it created a yearning for good ingredients and for a way of life that saw more in food than mere sustenance Her later books confirmed her position as the most inspirational and influential cookery writer in the English language She shared with Jane Grigson an absorbing interest in the literature of cookery Jane Grigson was brought up in the north-east of England, where there is a strong tradition of good eating, but it was not until she began to spend time in France that she became really interested in food She was renowned for her fine writing on food and cookery, often catching the imagination with a deftly chosen fragment of history or poetry, but never failing to explain the ‘why’ as well as the ‘how’ of cookery In which section are the following mentioned? Your answers: A group of foods that changed the way an area of the world cooked 136 A period of time when access to food was restricted 137 A comparison of the process of producing a substance with that also used for some other foods 138 The global popularity of a particular food 139 An interest in discovering more about unfamiliar types of food 140 The discrepancy between the amount of a type of food produced and the demand for it 141 A substance that reinforces the savoury aspect of food 142 A way of determining the strength of a foodstuff 143 Using literary forms to talk about food dishes 144 Worries about the ethical future of a food industry 145 Page 15 of 14 ĐƯỢC SƯU TẦM BỞI FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO IV WRITING (50 points) PART 1: For questions 146-155, complete the
