Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Education is an issue which concerns many people in the UK as well as round the world In England, Wales and Northern
Ireland pupils sit GCSE (General Certificate in Secondary Education) exams followed 2 years later by A (Advanced) levels.
Pupils in Scotland follow a different system, finishing their time at school with the Higher Leaving Certificate One particularworry - why are boys doing so badly?
Some twenty years ago, the performance of girls and boys in class was compared Boys scored better in exams, so variousmeasures were introduced to improve the performance of girls, including having single sex girl only classes Now, thesituation is reversed, with girls consistently out-performing boys
So, what has gone wrong with boys, and what can be done about it? John Dunsford, leader of the association of headteachers of secondary schools, says that that the academic failure of boys is a problem which has its roots in society rather
than the classroom Girls, more than boys, see education as a passport to a good job On the other hand, according to Penny Lewis, a head teacher, young men lack confidence, which they hide with a show of bravado They're uncertain about their
place in society Some boys grow up in families where there is no male role model to follow
Moreover, boys may learn in a different way to girls, preferring small amounts of work with immediate deadlines rather
than large projects stretching into the distance And education is not seen as "cool" As one contributor to a BBC website put
it, "Girls achieve more at school because they are watching the future while the boys are watching the girls."
This is not just a problem in Britain In a study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development andUNESCO, girls out-performed boys at reading at the age of 15 in all 45 countries The UK ranks ninth out of the 45 countriesfor reading despite the fact that pupils in the UK spend less time reading than in most other countries Interestingly, the studysuggested that British children read for pleasure more often than those in other countries

Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
The economic growth that many nations in Asia and increasingly Africa have experienced over the past couple of decades
has transformed hundreds of millions of lives - almost entirely for the better But there's a byproduct to that growth, one
that's evident - or sometimes less than evident - in the smoggy, smelly skies above cities like Beijing, New Delhi and Jakara
Thanks to new cars and power plants, air pollution is bad and getting worse in much of the world, and it's taking a major toll
on global health
How big? According to a new analysis published in the Lancet, more than 3.2 million people suffered deaths from airpollution in 2010, the largest number on record That's up from 800,000 in 2000 And it's a regional problem: 65% of thosedeaths occurred in Asia, where the air is choked by diesel soot from cars and trucks, as well as the song from power plantsand the dust from endless urban construction In East Asia and China, 1.2 million people died, as well as another 712,000 inSouth Asia, including India For the first time ever, air pollution is on the world's top - 10 list of killers, and it's moving up theranks faster than any other factor
So how can air pollution be so damaging? It is the very finest soot - so small that it roots deep within the lungs and thenenters the bloodstream - that contributes to most of the public - health toll of air pollution including death Diesel soot, whichcan also cause cancer, is a major problem because it is concentrated in cities along transportation zones affecting
Trang 4overpopulated areas It is thought to contribute to half the deaths from air pollution in urban centers For example, 1 in 6people in the u.s live near a diesel - pollution hot spot like a rail yard, port terminal or freeway.
We also know that air pollution may be linked to other non-deadly diseases Fortunately in the U.S and other developednations, urban air is for the most part cleaner than it was 30 or 40 years ago, thanks to regulations and new technologies likethe catalytic converters that reduce automobile emissions Governments are also pushing to make air cleaner - see the WhiteHouse's move last week to further tighten soot standards It's not perfect, but we've had much more success dealing with airpollution than climate change
Will developing nations like India eventually catch up? Hopefully - though the problem may get worse before it gets better.The good news is that it doesn't take a major technological advance to improve urban air Switching from diesel fuel tounleaded helps, as do newer and cleaner cars which are less likely to send out pollutants Power plants - even ones that burnmineral fuels like coal - can be fitted with pollution - control equipment that, at a price, will greatly reduce smog and otherpollutants
But the best solutions may involve urban design In the Guardian, John Vidal notes that Delhi now has 200 cars per 1,000people, far more than much richer Asian cities like Hong Kong and Singapore Developing cities will almost certainly see anincrease in car ownership as residents become wealthier - and that doesn't have to mean deadly air pollution Higher incomesshould also lead to tougher environmental regulations, which is exactly what happened in the West We can only hope ithappens before the death toll from bad air gets even higher

Question 43: The phrase "taking a major toll" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
Question 44: All of the following statements are true according to the passage EXCEPT

A the developing countries are repeating the same mistakes as the developed ones made
B the global economic growth is mainly to blame for air pollution and climate change
C the unbeatable air is increasingly becoming a major killer throughout the world
D the ecological situation and air pollution in India are becoming worse and worse
Question 46: By describing urban design as "the best solutions" in the last paragraph, the writer means that
A the pace of development has to be slowed down to reduce air pollution
B more sever regulations should be made to handle air pollution
C the making of tougher environmental regulations alone is of little use
D the urban construction in western developed countries is the best choice
Question 47: What tends to give rise to the highest death toll according to the passage?
A The lack of tight environmental protection standards.
B The increasing numbers of the diesel cars and trucks.
C The frighteningly high death rate from deadly cancer.
D The world's serious air pollution such as soot and dust.
Question 48: The word "byproduct" in paragraph 1 most probably refers to
Question 49: The basic reason why so many people die from air pollution is that
A the diesel soot roots in lungs and gets into blood
B the diesel soot is too small to be seen
C the diesel soot is much too poisonous to breathe
D the diesel soot can also contribute to deadly cancer
Question 50: According to the passage, which of the following is an example of measure taken to help generate
less emissions?
A Many nations encourage people to avoid densely populated areas.
B The government minimizes the number of people using car in major cities.
C People increase the use of vehicles powered by mineral fuels.

Education is an issue which concerns many people in the UK as well as round the world In England, Wales
and Northern Ireland pupils sit GCSE (General Certificate in Secondary Education) exams followed 2 years later by A
(Advanced) levels Pupils in Scotland follow a different system, finishing their time at school with the Higher Leaving
Certificate One particular worry - why are boys doing so badly?
Some twenty years ago, the performance of girls and boys in class was compared Boys scored better in exams, so variousmeasures were introduced to improve the performance of girls, including having single sex girl only classes Now, thesituation is reversed, with girls consistently out-performing boys
So, what has gone wrong with boys, and what can be done about it? John Dunsford, leader of the association of headteachers of secondary schools, says that that the academic failure of boys is a problem which has its roots in society rather
than the classroom Girls, more than boys, see education as a passport to a good job On the other hand, according to Penny Lewis, a head teacher, young men lack confidence, which they hide with a show of bravado They're uncertain about their
place in society Some boys grow up in families where there is no male role model to follow
Moreover, boys may learn in a different way to girls, preferring small amounts of work with immediate deadlines rather
than large projects stretching into the distance And education is not seen as "cool" As one contributor to a BBC website put
it, "Girls achieve more at school because they are watching the future while the boys are watching the girls."
This is not just a problem in Britain In a study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development andUNESCO, girls out-performed boys at reading at the age of 15 in all 45 countries The UK ranks ninth out of the 45 countriesfor reading despite the fact that pupils in the UK spend less time reading than in most other countries Interestingly, the studysuggested that British children read for pleasure more often than those in other countries

The economic growth that many nations in Asia and increasingly Africa have experienced over the past couple of decades
has transformed hundreds of millions of lives - almost entirely for the better But there's a byproduct to that growth, one
that's evident - or sometimes less than evident - in the smoggy, smelly skies above cities like Beijing, New Delhi and Jakara
Thanks to new cars and power plants, air pollution is bad and getting worse in much of the world, and it's taking a major toll
on global health
How big? According to a new analysis published in the Lancet, more than 3.2 million people suffered deaths from airpollution in 2010, the largest number on record That's up from 800,000 in 2000 And it's a regional problem: 65% of thosedeaths occurred in Asia, where the air is choked by diesel soot from cars and trucks, as well as the song from power plantsand the dust from endless urban construction In East Asia and China, 1.2 million people died, as well as another 712,000 inSouth Asia, including India For the first time ever, air pollution is on the world's top - 10 list of killers, and it's moving up theranks faster than any other factor
So how can air pollution be so damaging? It is the very finest soot - so small that it roots deep within the lungs and thenenters the bloodstream - that contributes to most of the public - health toll of air pollution including death Diesel soot, whichcan also cause cancer, is a major problem because it is concentrated in cities along transportation zones affecting
Trang 12overpopulated areas It is thought to contribute to half the deaths from air pollution in urban centers For example, 1 in 6people in the u.s live near a diesel - pollution hot spot like a rail yard, port terminal or freeway.
We also know that air pollution may be linked to other non-deadly diseases Fortunately in the U.S and other developednations, urban air is for the most part cleaner than it was 30 or 40 years ago, thanks to regulations and new technologies likethe catalytic converters that reduce automobile emissions Governments are also pushing to make air cleaner - see the WhiteHouse's move last week to further tighten soot standards It's not perfect, but we've had much more success dealing with airpollution than climate change
Will developing nations like India eventually catch up? Hopefully - though the problem may get worse before it gets better.The good news is that it doesn't take a major technological advance to improve urban air Switching from diesel fuel tounleaded helps, as do newer and cleaner cars which are less likely to send out pollutants Power plants - even ones that burnmineral fuels like coal - can be fitted with pollution - control equipment that, at a price, will greatly reduce smog and otherpollutants
But the best solutions may involve urban design In the Guardian, John Vidal notes that Delhi now has 200 cars per 1,000people, far more than much richer Asian cities like Hong Kong and Singapore Developing cities will almost certainly see anincrease in car ownership as residents become wealthier - and that doesn't have to mean deadly air pollution Higher incomesshould also lead to tougher environmental regulations, which is exactly what happened in the West We can only hope ithappens before the death toll from bad air gets even higher
(Source: http://science.time.com by Bryan Walsh)
Question 43: According to the passage, the writer actually wants to convince the readers that
A the ecological situation and air pollution in India are becoming worse and worse
B the developing countries are repeating the same mistakes as the developed ones made
C the unbeatable air is increasingly becoming a major killer throughout the world
D the global economic growth is mainly to blame for air pollution and climate change
Question 44: The phrase "taking a major toll" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
Question 45: The basic reason why so many people die from air pollution is that
A the diesel soot can also contribute to deadly cancer
B the diesel soot is much too poisonous to breathe
C the diesel soot roots in lungs and gets into blood
D the diesel soot is too small to be seen
Question 46: All of the following statements are true according to the passage EXCEPT
A The tightening of the emission standards has helped people solve some of the immediate environmental problems, for
example, tackle air pollution
B Air pollution may have been responsible for our mental health problems and prematurely robbed US of our lives.
C Many efforts have been put into the reduction of the emission of pollutants through the tightening of legislation on
new vehicles
D The report found that the number of people suffering deaths from air pollution in 2010 is greater than that in 2000 Question 47: According to the passage, which of the following is an example of measure taken to help generate
less emissions?
A Catalytic converters are applied to exhaust systems in automobiles.
B People increase the use of vehicles powered by mineral fuels.
C The government minimizes the number of people using car in major cities.
D Many nations encourage people to avoid densely populated areas.
Question 48: By describing urban design as "the best solutions" in the last paragraph, the writer means that
A the urban construction in western developed countries is the best choice
B the making of tougher environmental regulations alone is of little use
C more sever regulations should be made to handle air pollution
D the pace of development has to be slowed down to reduce air pollution
Question 49: The word "byproduct" in paragraph 1 most probably refers to
Question 50: What tends to give rise to the highest death toll according to the passage?
A The increasing numbers of the diesel cars and trucks.
B The lack of tight environmental protection standards.
C The frighteningly high death rate from deadly cancer.
D The world's serious air pollution such as soot and dust.

Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Education is an issue which concerns many people in the UK as well as round the world In England, Wales and Northern
Ireland pupils sit GCSE (General Certificate in Secondary Education) exams followed 2 years later by A (Advanced) levels.
Pupils in Scotland follow a different system, finishing their time at school with the Higher Leaving Certificate One particularworry - why are boys doing so badly?
Some twenty years ago, the performance of girls and boys in class was compared Boys scored better in exams, so variousmeasures were introduced to improve the performance of girls, including having single sex girl only classes Now, thesituation is reversed, with girls consistently out-performing boys
So, what has gone wrong with boys, and what can be done about it? John Dunsford, leader of the association of headteachers of secondary schools, says that that the academic failure of boys is a problem which has its roots in society rather
than the classroom Girls, more than boys, see education as a passport to a good job On the other hand, according to Penny Lewis, a head teacher, young men lack confidence, which they hide with a show of bravado They're uncertain about their
place in society Some boys grow up in families where there is no male role model to follow
Moreover, boys may learn in a different way to girls, preferring small amounts of work with immediate deadlines rather
than large projects stretching into the distance And education is not seen as "cool" As one contributor to a BBC website put
it, "Girls achieve more at school because they are watching the future while the boys are watching the girls."
This is not just a problem in Britain In a study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development andUNESCO, girls out-performed boys at reading at the age of 15 in all 45 countries The UK ranks ninth out of the 45 countriesfor reading despite the fact that pupils in the UK spend less time reading than in most other countries Interestingly, the studysuggested that British children read for pleasure more often than those in other countries
