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
Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road Some of these are made on public transport but most are by private car
In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g getting to work, doing the shopping, and visiting friends People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car Some places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but to rely on their cars
Trang 5Trang 5 http://dethithpt.com – Website chuyên đề thi thử file word có lời giải
In the US large cities have good public transportation systems The El railroad in Chicago and the underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars Families often have two cars and, outside major cities, have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, shops, banks, etc Many college and even high-school students have their own cars
Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most towns and cities Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive
at their own convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam Long- distance coach/bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less comfortable Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for business reasons, may be by air There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to and from London A lot of freight is also distributed by road, though heavier items and raw materials often
go by rail
In the US much long-distance travel is by air America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by road
The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and pollution It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by
a third within a few years, making both these problems worse The British government would like more people to use public transport, but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom Petrol/gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they see no reason to use their cars less

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
In 1826, a Frenchman named Niépce needed pictures for his business He was not a good artist, so he invented a very simple camera He put it in a window of his house and took a picture
of his yard That was the first photograph
The next important date in the history of photography was 1837 That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio He used a new kind of camera and a different process In his pictures, you could see everything clearly, even the smallest details This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre's process Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world People photographed famous buildings, cities, and mountains
Trang 7Trang 7 http://dethithpt.com – Website chuyên đề thi thử file word có lời giải
In about 1840, the process was improved Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things The process was not simple and photographers had to carry lots of film and processing equipment However, this did not stop photographers, especially in the United States After 1840, daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities
Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer He took many portraits of famous people The portraits were unusual because they were lifelike and full of personality Brady was also the first person to take pictures of a war His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities They made the war seem more real and more terrible
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography Photographers could buy film ready- made in rolls, instead of having to make the film themselves Also, they did not have to process the film immediately They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later They did not have to carry lots of equipment And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive
With a small camera, anyone could be a photographer People began to use cameras just for fun They took pictures of their families, friends, and favorite places They called these pictures
"snapshots"
Documentary photographs became popular in newspapers in the 1890s Soon magazines and books also used them These pictures showed true events and people They were much more real than drawings
Some people began to think of photography as a form of art They thought that photographycould do more than show the real world It could also show ideas and feelings, like other art forms
