Traditionally in America, helping the poor was a matter for private charities or local governments Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life In the late 19th and early 20th

centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs But such a movement was slow to take hold in

the United States because the rapid pace of industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was willing to work could find a job

Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the programs Social Security - has become an American institution Paid for by deductions from the paychecks of working people, Social

Security ensures that retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also provides unemployment insurance,

disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it Social Security payments to retired persons can start at age

62, but many wait until age 65, when the payments are slightly higher Recently, there has been concern that the

Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the population of

elderly Americans is expected to increase dramatically Policy makers have proposed various ways to make up the

anticipated deficit, but a long-term solution is still being debated

In the years since Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistance programs These include

Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is built

at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes

Needy Americans can also turn to sources other than the government for help A broad spectrum of private charities and voluntary organizations is available Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially among retired persons It

is estimated that almost 50 percent of Americans over age 18 do volunteer work, and nearly 75 percent of U.S

households contribute money to charity

C donations from companies D people's willingness to work

Question 38: Most of the public assistance programs after the severe economic crisis

A were introduced into institutions B did not become institutionalized

C functioned truthfully in institutions D did not work in institutions

Question 39: American on low incomes can seek help from

A non-governmental agencies B governmental agencies

C federal government D state government

Question 40: The word "instituted" in the first paragraph mostly means _

A executed B introduced C studied D enforced

Question 41: That Social Security payments will be a burden comes from the concern that

A the program discourages working people B younger people don't want to work

C elderly people ask for more money D the number of elderly people is growing

Question 42: New immigrants to America could seek help for _

A only charity organizations B volunteer organizations

C the people who came earlier D the US government organization

According to the best evidence gathered by space probes and astronomers, Mars is an inhospitable planet, more similar

to Earth’s Moon than to Earth itself - a dry, stark, seemingly lifeless world Mars’ air pressure is equal to Earth’s at an

altitude of 100,000 feet The air there is 95 percent carbon dioxide.

Mars has no ozone layer to screen out the sun’s lethal radiation Daytime temperatures may reach above freezing, but because the planet is blanketed by the mere wisp of an atmosphere, the heat radiates back into space Even at the

equator, the temperature drops to -50C (-60F) at night Today there is no liquid water, although valleys and channels on the surface show evidence of having been carved by running water The polar ice caps are made of frozen water and carbon dioxide, and water may be frozen in the ground as permafrost

Despite these difficult conditions, certain scientists believe that there is a possibility of transforming Mars into a more Earth-like planet Nuclear reactors might be used to melt frozen gases and eventually build up the atmosphere This in turn

could create a “greenhouse effect” that would stop heat from radiating back into space Liquid water could be thawed to

said Christopher McKay, a research scientist at NASA “But now it’s starting to look practical We could begin work in four

or five decades.”

The idea of “terraforming” Mars, as enthusiasts call it, has its roots in science fiction But as researchers develop a more profound understanding of how Earth's ecology supports life, they have begun to see how it may be possible to create similar conditions on Mars Don’t plan on homesteading on Mars any time soon, though The process could take hundreds or even thousands of years to complete and the cost would be staggering

Question 43: The word "there" in bold in paragraph 1 refers to _

A the Earth's Moon B Mars

C outer space D a point 100 miles above the Earth

Question 44: Which of the following does the author NOT list as a characteristic of the planet Mars that would

khứ hoàn thành để diễn tả một hành động diễn ra trươc 1 hành động khác trong quá khứ

Khi sử dụng nghĩa “chập điện” thì phải dùng cụm “electrical failure”.
