The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a single basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc In many cultures,
and particularly indigenous societies, the latter is the most common basic form of social
organization
A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one
or two parents (e.g a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other dwellings In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the number of children in a nuclear family
The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations not covered by the above definition In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South American Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization The term can differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes people related in age or by lineage Anthropologically, the term “extended family” refers to such a group living together in a household, often with three
generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal
societies by the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure However, in common
Trang 4Trang 4 http://dethithpt.com – Website chuyên đề thi thử file word có lời giải
parlance, the term “extended family” is often used by people simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though they are not living together in a single group
Historically, most people in the world have lived in extended family groupings rather than in nuclear families This was even true in Europe and in the early United States, where multiple generations often lived together for economic reasons During the 20th century, average
income rose high enough that living apart as nuclear families became a viable option for the
vast majority of the American population In contrast, many indigenous societies and residents of developing countries continue to have multiple generations living in the same household The rise of the nuclear family in the modern West does not necessarily mean that family arrangements have stabilized, either The rapid growth in single-parent households, for instance, also represents a substantial change in the traditional nuclear family More couples are also choosing not to have children at all

A The dominance of nuclear families over extended ones
B The dominance of extended families over nuclear ones
C A distinction between nuclear families and extended ones
D The changes of family types over times

Question 20: The word “patriarchal” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to
A ruled or controlled by men B equal for both men and women
C simple with no rules and laws D modern with advanced facilities
Question 21: According to the passage, single-parent households
A are not defined by anthropologists B are the existing trend of family arrangement
C are included in the term “nuclear family” D are on the decrease
Question 22: The word “viable” in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by _

Trang 6Trang 6 http://dethithpt.com – Website chuyên đề thi thử file word có lời giải
The weather is a national obsession in Britain, perhaps because it is so changeable It's the national talking point, and most people watch at least one daily weather forecast Most of the viewers imagine that the presenter does little more than arrive at the studio a few minutes before the broadcast, read the weather, and then go home
In fact, this image is far from the truth The two-minute bulletin which we all rely on when
we need to know tomorrow's weather is the result of a hard day's work by the presenter, who
is actually a highly-qualified meteorologist
Every morning, after a weather forecaster arrives at the TV studios, his/her first task of the day is to collect the latest data from the National Meteorological Office The information is very detailed and includes predictions, satellite and radar pictures, as well as more technical data After gathering all the relevant material from this office, the forecaster has to translate the scientific terminology and maps into images and words which viewers can easily understand The final broadcast is then carefully planned The presenter decides what to say and in what order to say it Next a “story board” is drawn up which lays out the script word for word
The time allocated for each broadcast can also alter This is because the weather report is screened after the news, which can vary in length The weather forecaster doesn't always know how much time is available, which means that he/she has to be thoroughly prepared so that the material can be adapted to the time available
What makes weather forecasting more complicated is that it has to be a live broadcast and cannot be pre-recorded Live shows are very nerve-racking for the presenter because almost anything can go wrong Perhaps the most worrying aspect for every weather forecaster is
getting the following day's predictions wrong Unfortunately for them, this is not an unusual
occurrence; the weather is not always possible to predict accurately
These days, a weather forecaster's job is even more complicated because they are relied upon
to predict other environmental conditions For example, in the summer the weather forecast has to include the pollen count for hay fever sufferers Some also include reports on ultraviolet radiation intensity to help people avoid sunburn The job of a weather forecaster is certainly far more sophisticated than just pointing at a map and describing weather conditions It's a job for professionals who can cope with stressful and challenging conditions
Question 28: The passage is mainly about

A weather forecast in England
B a weather forecaster’s job
C the most widely watched TV programme

A the weather forecaster's worry B the complication of a live broadcast
C giving a forecast that doesn't come true D an accurate prediction
Question 32: Creating a weather report is complex because _
A the information includes unreliable predictions
B radar pictures are technical
C maps have to be drawn
D a lot of data has to be interpreted
Question 33: Weather forecasters have to know the material well because _
A the forecast may be incorporated into the news broadcast
B they sometimes need to change it to meet the time limitation
C the broadcast is pre-recorded
D they don’t make the bulletins by themselves
Question 34: What can be inferred from the passage?

B Weather forecasting is among demanding jobs
C TV reporters need to learn by heart what to say
D To become a weather forecaster, you must graduate from a prestigious university

Dịch bài đọc:
Quay trở lại những năm 1960 và 1970, thế giới ngày càng nhận thức được tác động tàn phá của ngành công nghiệp đối với môi trường và mọi người bắt đầu suy nghĩ nghiêm túc về các cách bảo vệ môi trường Có một người đàn ông đặc biệt bị ảnh hưởng bởi chủ đề này là Gerard Morgan-Grenville Khi Morgan-Grenville đi làm ăn kiếm sống như một người làm vườn, ông nhận thấy những dấu hiệu của sự thiệt hại đã xảy ra ở vùng nông thôn xung quanh anh ta Không lâu trước khi Morgan-Grenville quyết định rằng ông phải làm gì đó trong tình huống này Ông cảm thấy rằng nếu mọi người có thể được chỉ bảo một cách sống tốt hơn thì
có thể họ sẽ quan tâm đủ để cố gắng bảo vệ môi trường vô giá của họ
Ông Morgan-Grenville đã quyết định thành lập một dự án chứng minh điều gì đang xảy ra với môi trường xung quanh của chúng ta và những gì chúng ta có thể làm được Vì vậy, năm
1975, Morgan-Grenville đã tạo ra Trung tâm Công nghệ Thay thế (CAT) tại một ngôi làng ở
xứ Wales
Mục đích chính của CAT là tìm kiếm một lối sống sinh thái tốt hơn bằng cách sử dụng công nghệ không gây tổn hại cho môi trường Một trong những điều quan trọng nhất mà ban đầu CAT đã làm là khám phá và thực hiện một loạt các kỹ thuật và để tìm ra cái nào có tác động phá hoại ít nhất trên thế giới xung quanh chúng ta Hơn nữa, CAT cung cấp thông tin và lời khuyên cho mọi người trên khắp nước Anh và trên toàn thế giới Nếu ngày càng có nhiều cá nhân được thông báo về mức độ thiệt hại mà lối sống hiện đại của chúng ta đang gây ra cho hành tinh, có thể nhiều người trong số họ sẽ chuẩn bị để tìm kiếm các giải pháp thiết thực cho các vấn đề môi trường
