Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best way to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or business to invest in, involves the utilization of a decision

worksheet Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual decisions made by people to theretical

ideal decisions to see how similar they are Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield

optimal, that is, the best decisions Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets

cam take, they are all similar in their essential aspects.

Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem Next, the pertinent considerations that all possible solutions to the problem Next, the pertinent

Trang 3

considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each

consideration or consequence is determined Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision

Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember

On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once A worksheet can be especially

useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships A realistic examplefor many college students is the question "What will I do after graduation?" A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year

A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it.

It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range

goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating

student might revise the question above to "What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career?"

Question20: According to decision-worksheet theory, an optimal decision is defined as one that

A has the fewest variables to consider

B uses the most decision worksheet

C has the most points assigned to it

D is agreed to by the greatest number of people

Question21: Which of the following terms is defined in the passage?

A Proponents (paragraph 1) B Optimal (paragraph 1)

C Variables (paragraph 3) D Long-range goals (paragraph 4)

Question22: The word "essential" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

A introductory B fundamental C changeable D beneficial

Question23: The author states that "On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at

once" (paragraph 3) to explain that

A people can learn to keep more than seven ideas in their minds with practice

B most decisions involve seven steps.

C human mental capacity has limitations.

D some people have difficulty making minor as well as major decisions.

Question24: The word "it" in paragraph 4 refers to

Question25: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions

B Research on how people make decisions.

C A tool to assist in making complex decisions.

TRACKING THE SNOW LEOPARD

“When a snow leopard stalks its prey among the mountain walls, it moves softly, slowly,” explains Indian biologist Raghunandan Singh Chundawat, who has studied the animal for years “If it knocks a stone loose, it will reach out a foot to stop it from falling and making noise.” One might be moving right now, perfectly silent, maybe close by But where? And how many are left to see?

Best known for its spotted coat and long distinctive tail, the snow leopard is one of the world’s most secretive animals These elusive cats can only be found high in the remote, mountainous regions of central Asia For this reason, and because they hunt primarily at night, they are very rarely seen

Snow leopards have been officially protected since 1975, but enforcing this law has proven difficult Many continue to be killed for their fur and body parts, which are worth a fortune on the black market In recent years, though, conflict with local herders has also led to a number of snow leopard deaths This is because the

big cats kill the herders’ animals, and drag the bodies away to eat high up in the mountains.

As a result of these pressures, the current snow leopard population is estimated at only 4,000 to 7,000, and

some fear that the actual number may already have dropped below 3,500 The only way to reverse this trend

and bring these cats back from near extinction, say conservationists, is to make them more valuable alive thandead

Trang 5

Because farming is difficult in Central Asia’s cold, dry landscape, traditional cultures depend mostly on livestock (mainly sheep and goats) to survive in these mountainous regions At night, when snow leopards hunt, herders’ animals are in danger of snow leopard attacks Losing only a few animals can push a family into desperate poverty “The wolf comes and kills, eats, and goes somewhere else,” said one herder, “but snow leopards are always around They have killed one or two animals many time Everybody wanted to finish this leopard.”

To address this problem, local religious leaders have called for an end to snow leopard killings, saying that

these wild animals have the right to exist peacefully They’ve also tried to convince people that the leopards are quite rare and thus it is important to protect them Financial incentives are also helping to slow snow leopard killings The organization Snow Leopard Conservancy–India has established Himalayan Homestays,

a program that sends visitors to the region to herders’ houses For a clean room and bed, meals with the family, and an introduction to their culture, visitors pay about ten U.S dollars a night Having guests once every two weeks through the tourist season provides the herders with enough income to replace the animals lost to snow leopards In addition, Homestays helps herders build protective fences that keep out snow

leopards The organization also conducts environmental classes at village schools and trains Homestays members as nature guides, available for hire In exchange, the herders agree not to kill snow leopards

In Mongolia, a project called Snow Leopard Enterprises (SLE) helps herder communities earn extra money inexchange for their promise to protect the endangered cat Women in Mongolian herder communities make a variety of products—yarn for making clothes, decorative floor rugs, and toys—using the wool from their herds SLE buys these items from herding families and sells them abroad Herders must agree to protect the snow leopards and to encourage neighbors to do the same

The arrangement increases herders’ incomes by 10 to 15 percent and “elevates” the status of the women If no

one in the community kills the protected animals over the course of a year, the program members are

rewarded with a 20 percent bonus in addition to the money they’ve already made An independent review in

2006 found no snow leopard killings in areas where SLE operates Today the organization continues to add more communities

Projects like the Homestays program in India and SLE’s business in Mongolia are doing well, though they cover only a small part of the snow leopard’s homeland, they make the leopards more valuable to more people each year If these programs continue to do well, the snow leopard may just have a figting chance

C increasing conflict with the herders D the opinions of conservationists

Question44: What is the main idea of the third paragraph?

B The snow leopard’s endangerment is due to in part to the black market.

C Snow leopards are killed for their fur and body parts.

D It is difficult to enforce the laws made to protect the snow leopard.

Kiến thức: Đọc hiểu

Giải thích:

Các bước sau, cái nào xảy ra TRƯỚC những cái khác trong việc đưa ra một bảng quyết định?

A Liệt kê các hậu quả của mỗi giải pháp

B Viết ra tất cả các giải pháp có thể

C Quyết định hậu quả nào là quan trọng nhất

Trang 9

D Tính toán một bản tóm tắt bằng số của mỗi giải pháp

Thông tin: Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible

solutions to the problem

Các bước sau đó lần lượt là:

- Listing the consequences of each solution

- Deciding which consequences are most important

- Calculating a numerical summary of each solution

Các nhà nghiên cứu trong lĩnh vực tâm lý học đã nhận thấy rằng một trong những cách tốt nhất để đưa ra quyết định quan trọng, chẳng hạn như chọn một trường đại học để theo học hoặc kinh doanh để đầu tư, liên quan đến việc sử dụng một bảng tính quyết định Các nhà tâm lý học nghiên cứu tối ưu hóa so sánh các quyết định thực tế của mọi người với các quyết định lý tưởng về mặt lý thuyết để xem chúng tương tự như thế nào Những người ủng hộ bảng tính tin rằng nó sẽ mang lại tối ưu, đó là, các quyết định tốt nhất Mặc dù có một sốbiến thể về định dạng chính xác mà các bảng tính có thể có, tất cả chúng đều giống nhau về các khía cạnh thiết yếu của chúng

Bảng tính yêu cầu xác định vấn đề một cách rõ ràng và súc tích và sau đó liệt kê tất cả các giải pháp khả thi cho vấn đề Tiếp theo, những cân nhắc thích hợp mà tất cả các giải pháp có thể có cho vấn đề Tiếp theo, những cân nhắc thích hợp sẽ bị ảnh hưởng bởi mỗi quyết định được liệt kê và tầm quan trọng tương đối của từng xem xét hoặc hậu quả được xác định Mỗi xem xét được gán một giá trị bằng số để phản ánh tầm quan trọng tương đối của nó Một quyết định được tính toán bằng cách cộng các giá trị này lại với nhau Sự lựa chọn với số điểm cao nhất xuất hiện là quyết định tốt nhất

Vì hầu hết các vấn đề quan trọng là đa diện, có một số lựa chọn thay thế để lựa chọn, mỗi lựa chọn có những

ưu điểm và nhược điểm riêng Một trong những lợi ích của quy trình ra quyết định bằng bút chì và giấy là nó cho phép mọi người đối phó với nhiều biến hơn tâm trí của họ thường có thể hiểu và nhớ Trung bình, mọi người có thể giữ khoảng bảy ý tưởng trong tâm trí của họ cùng một lúc Một bảng tính có thể đặc biệt hữu íchkhi quyết định liên quan đến một số lượng lớn các biến với các mối quan hệ phức tạp Một ví dụ thực tế cho nhiều sinh viên đại học là câu hỏi "Tôi sẽ làm gì sau khi tốt nghiệp?" Sinh viên tốt nghiệp có thể tìm kiếm một vị trí đào tạo chuyên ngành, theo đuổi trình độ cao cấp hoặc đi du lịch nước ngoài trong một năm

Một bảng tính ra quyết định bắt đầu bằng một câu ngắn gọn về vấn đề cũng sẽ giúp thu hẹp nó Điều quan trọng là phải rõ ràng về sự khác biệt giữa các mục tiêu tầm xa và ngay lập tức vì các mục tiêu tầm xa thường liên quan đến một quyết định khác với các mục tiêu tầm ngắn Tập trung vào các mục tiêu tầm xa, một sinh viên tốt nghiệp có thể sửa đổi câu hỏi trên thành "Tôi sẽ làm gì sau khi tốt nghiệp để dẫn đến một sự nghiệp thành công?"

“this trend” đề cập đến “the fall in the snow leopard population”

As a result of these pressures, the current snow leopard population is estimated at only 4,000 to 7,000, and some fear that the actual number may already have dropped below 3,500 The only way to reverse this

trend and bring these cats back from near extinction… (Như là kết quả của sức ép này, dân số báo tuyết hiện

Thông tin: Snow leopards have been officially protected since 1975, but enforcing this law has proven

C người chăn nuôi địa phương

D con vật của người chăn nuôi

“bodies” đề cập đến “the herders’ animals”

This is because the big cats kill the herders’ animals, and drag the bodies away to eat high up in the

mountains (Điều này là do những con mèo lớn giết động vật của những người chăn nuôi gia súc, và kéo các xác chết đi để ăn ở cao trên núi.)

"Khi một con báo tuyết bám theo con mồi của nó giữa các bức tường núi, nó di chuyển nhẹ nhàng, chậm chạp", nhà sinh vật học người Ấn Độ Raghunandan Singh Chundawat giải thích, người đã nghiên cứu con vậtnày trong nhiều năm “Nếu nó đụng phải một hòn đá lung lay, nó sẽ vươn một chân ra để ngăn nó rơi xuống

và gây ra tiếng ồn.” Một con có thể đang di chuyển ngay bây giờ, hoàn toàn im lặng, có thể gần kề Nhưng ở đâu? Và còn bao nhiêu con để thấy nữa?

Nổi tiếng nhất với lớp lông đốm và đuôi dài đặc biệt, báo tuyết là một trong những loài động vật bí mật nhất thế giới Những con mèo khó nắm bắt này chỉ có thể được tìm thấy ở những vùng núi xa xôi hẻo lánh ở Trung

Á Vì lý do này, và bởi vì chúng đi săn chủ yếu vào ban đêm, chúng rất hiếm thấy

Báo tuyết đã được chính thức bảo vệ từ năm 1975, nhưng thực thi pháp luật này đã được chứng minh là khó khăn Nhiều con tiếp tục bị giết để lấy bộ lông và bộ phận cơ thể của chúng, có giá trị trên thị trường chợ đen.Mặc dù, trong những năm gần đây, xung đột với các người chăn nuôi địa phương cũng đã dẫn đến một số con báo tuyết chết Điều này là do những con mèo lớn giết động vật của những người chăn nuôi gia súc, và kéo các xác chết đi để ăn ở cao trên núi

Như là kết quả của sức ép này, dân số báo tuyết hiện tại ước tính chỉ có 4.000 đến 7.000, và một số người lo ngại rằng con số thực tế có thể đã giảm xuống dưới 3.500 Cách duy nhất để đảo ngược xu hướng này và

Trang 12

mang những con mèo này trở lại từ gần như tuyệt chủng, các nhà bảo tồn nói, là làm cho chúng có giá trị sốnghơn là chết

Bởi vì canh tác rất khó khăn trong cảnh quan khô và lạnh của Trung Á, nền văn hóa truyền thống phụ thuộc chủ yếu vào chăn nuôi (chủ yếu là cừu và dê) để tồn tại ở những vùng núi này Vào ban đêm, khi báo tuyết đi săn, con vật của những người chăn nuôi có nguy cơ bị tấn công bởi báo tuyết Chỉ mất đi một ít con vật cũng

có thể đẩy một gia đình vào cảnh nghèo đói tuyệt vọng "Sói đến và giết, ăn, và đi đến đâu đó khác", một người chăn gia súc nói, "nhưng báo tuyết luôn ở xung quanh Chúng đã giết chết một hoặc hai con vật rất nhiều lần Mọi người đều muốn kết liễu con báo này."

Để giải quyết vấn đề này, các nhà lãnh đạo tôn giáo địa phương đã kêu gọi chấm dứt các vụ giết báo tuyết,nói rằng những động vật hoang dã này có quyền tồn tại một cách hòa bình Họ cũng đã cố gắng thuyếtphục mọi người rằng con báo khá hiếm và do đó điều quan trọng là phải bảo vệ chúng Ưu đãi về tài chínhcũng giúp làm chậm việc giết báo tuyết Tổ chức Bảo tồn Báo tuyết - Ấn Độ đã xây dựng nhà ởHimalayan, một chương trình đưa du khách đến khu vực, đến nhà của những người chăn nuôi Với mộtcăn phòng sạch sẽ và giường, bữa ăn với gia đình, và giới thiệu về văn hóa của họ, du khách trả khoảngmười đô la Mỹ một đêm Có khách hai tuần một lần thông qua mùa du lịch cung cấp cho những ngườichăn nuôi có đủ thu nhập để thay thế những con vật bị mất bởi báo tuyết Ngoài ra, nhà trọ giúp nhữngngười chăn nuôi xây dựng hàng rào bảo vệ để tránh những con báo tuyết Tổ chức này cũng tổ chức cáclớp học môi trường tại các trường làng và huấn luyện các thành viên ở nhà dân như các hướng dẫn viênthiên nhiên, có sẵn để thuê ………http://tailieugiangday.com – Website chuyên để xem chi tiết

The train was at a standstill, some twenty minutes outside Kolkata, when an unexpected stroke of luckpresented Piya with an opportunity to go for a seat beside a window She had been sitting in the stuffiestpart of the train compartment, on the edge of a bench, with her backpacks arrayed around her: now,

moving to the open window, she saw that the train had stopped at a station called Champahati.

Looking over her shoulder, Piya spotted a tea-seller patrolling the platform Reaching through the bars

of the window, she sununoned him with a wave She had never cared for the kind of chai, Indian tea, sold

in Seattle, her hometown in the USA, but somehow, in the ten days she had spent in India she had

Trang 15

developed an unexpected taste for milky, overboiled tea served in earthenware cups There were no spices

in it for one thing, and this was more to her taste than the chai at home.

She paid for her tea and was trying to manoeuvre the cup through the bars when the man in the seat

opposite her own suddenly flipped over a page, jolting her hand She turned her wrist quickly enough tomake sure that most of the tea spilled out of the window, but she could not prevent a small trickle fromspilling over his papers

'Oh, I'm so sorry!' Piya was very embarrassed; of everyone in the compartment, this was the last personshe would have chosen to scald with her tea She had noticed him while waiting on the platform inKolkata and she had been struck by the self-satisfied tilt of his head and the way in which he stared ateveryone around him, taking them in, sizing them up, sorting them all into their places

'Here,' said Piya, producing a handful of tissues 'Let me help you clean up.'

'There's nothing to be done,' he said testily 'These pages are ruined anyway.'

For a moment she considered pointing out that it was he who had knocked her hand But all she couldbring herself to say was, 'I'm very sorry I hope you'll excuse me.'

'Do I really have a choice?' he said in a tone more challenging than ironic 'Does anyone have a choicewhen they're dealing with Americans these days?'

Piya had no wish to get into an argument so she let this pass Instead she opened her eyes wide and, in

an attempt to restore peace, came out with, 'But how did you guess?'

'About what?'

'About my being American? You're very observant.'

This seemed to do the trick His shoulders relaxed as he leaned back in his seat 'I didn't guess,' he said 'Iknew.'

'Was it my accent?' she said

'Yes,' he said with a nod 'I'm very rarely wrong about accents I'm a translator you see, and an interpreter

as well, by profession I like to think that my ears are tuned to the nuances of spoken language.'

'I'm afraid English is my only language And I wouldn't claim to be much good at it either.'

A frown of puzzlement appeared on his forehead 'And you're on your way to Canning?'

'Yes.'

'But tell me this,' he said 'If you don't know any Bengali or Hindi, how are you planning to find yourway around over there?'

'I'll do what I usually do,' she said with a laugh 'I'll try to wing it Anyway, in my line of work there's not

much talk needed.'

'And what is your line of work, if I may ask?'

'I'm a cetologist,' she said 'That means - ' She was beginning, ahnost apologetically, to expand on thiswhen he interrupted her

'I know what it means,' he said sharply 'You don't need to explain It means you study marine mammals.Right?'

'Yes,' she said, nodding 'Dolphins, whales and so on I'm hoping to wangle a permit to do a survey of

the marine mammals of the Sundarbans.

Question 40: It is the greatest happiness on earth

Film star, Ewan McGregor, recently rode round the world on a motorbike.

He talks about how he first took up riding motorbikes.

My biking beginnings can be summed up in two words: teenage love My first girlfriend was small with short, mousy blonde hair, and I was mad about her Our romance came to an abrupt end, however, when she started out with another guy in my hometown, Crieff He rode a 50cc road bike first and then a 125.

And whereas I had always walked my girlfriend home, suddenly she was going back with this guy

I was nearly sixteen by then and already heartbroken Then one day, on the way back from a shopping

trip to Perth with my mum, we passed Buchan's, the local bike shop I urged my mother to stop the car I

got out, walked up the short hill to the shop and pressed my nose to the window There was a light-blue50cc bike on display right at the front of the shop I didn’t know what make it was, or if it was any good

Such trivialities were irrelevant to me All I knew was that I could get it in three or four months' time

when I was sixteen and allowed to ride it Maybe I could even get my girlfriend back

I’d ridden my first bike when I was about six My father got hold of a tiny red Honda 50 cc and we

headed off to a shot off to a field that belonged to a family friend I clambered on and shot off I went allover the field I thought it was just best thing I loved the smell of it, the sound of it, the look of it, the rush

of it, the high-pitched screaming of the engine Best of all, there was a Land Rover parked next to two

large piles of straw with about a metre and a half between them I knew that from where the adults were

standing it looked as if there was no distance between them Just one large heap of straw I thought I

would have a go I came racing towards the adults, and shot right through the gap in the straw I wasthrilled to hear the adults scream and elated that it had frightened them It was my first time on amotorbike It was exciting and I wanted more

So when I looked through Buchan's window in Perth that day, it suddenly all made sense to me It was

what had to happen I can't remember whether it was to win back my ex-girlfriend's heart or not, but morethan anything else it meant that, instead of having to walk everywhere, I could ride my motorbike toschool and the games fields at the bottom of Crieff and when I went out at weekends

I started to fantasise about it I spent all my waking hours thinking about getting on and starting up thebike, putting on the helmet and riding around Crieff I couldn't sleep Driven to desperation by my desirefor a bike, I made a series of promises to my mum: I won’t leave town I'll be safe I won't take risks Iwon't do anything stupid But, in fact I was making the promises up - I never thought about keeping them

At the time that I was begging for a bike, I'd already had an accident with a bike belonging to GeorgeCarson, the school laboratory technician When I asked him if I could borrow it, he agreed, not knowingthat I didn't have a clue how to ride it The bike was in an alleyway up the side of the school hall Imanaged to start it and zoomed down the alleyway until I crashed smack into a wall, bending the wheeland snapping the handlebars Mr Carson came out to find me looking very red-faced The bill for the

damage came to more than £80, a fortune to a fifteen-year old in those days and one that took me months

of working as a dish washer and waiter at the Murray Park Hotel to pay back

[Adapted from 'Long Way Round' by Ewan McGrego and Charley Boorman]
