The first question we might ask is: What can you learn in college that will help you in being an employee? The schools teach (31) many things of value to the future accountant, doctor or electrician Do they also teach anything of value to the future employee? Yes, they teach the one thing that it is perhaps most valuable for the future employee to know But very few students bother to learn it This basic skill is the ability to organize and express ideas in writing and in speaking This means that your success as an employee will depend on your ability to communicate with people and to (32) your own thoughts and ideas to them so they will (33) understand what you are driving at and be persuaded
Of course, skill in expression is not enough by itself You must have something to say in the first place The effectiveness of your job depends much on your ability to make other people understand your work as they do on the quality of the work itself
Expressing one's thoughts is one skill that the school can (34) teach The foundations for skill in expression have to be laidearly: an interest in and an ear (35) language; experience in organizing ideas and data, in brushing aside the irrelevant, and above all the habit of verbal expression If you do not lay these foundations during your school years, you may never have an opportunity again

Trang 4Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Diversity is a hallmark of life, an intrinsic feature of living systems in the natural world The demonstration and celebration of this diversity is an endless rite Look at the popularity of museums, zoos, aquariums and botanic gardens The odder the exhibit, the more different it is from the most common and familiar life forms around us, the more successful it is likely to be Nature does not tire of providing oddities for people who look for them Biologists have already formally classified 1.7 million species
As many as 30 to 40 million more may remain to be classified (1)
Most people seem to take diversity for granted If they think about it at all they assume it exists in endless supply Nevertheless, diversity is endangered as never before in its history Advocates of perpetual economic growth treat living species as expendable As a result an extinction crisis of unprecedented magnitude is under way Worse yet, when diversity needs help most, it is neglected and misunderstood by much of the scientific community that once championed it (2)
Of the two great challenges to the legitimacy of this diversity, the familiar one comes primarily from economists Their argument, associated with such names as Julian Simon, Malcolm McPherson and the late Herman Kahn, can be paraphrased: "First, if endangered species have a value as resources - which has been greatly exaggerated - then we should be able to quantify that value so that we can make unbiased, objective decisions about which species, if any, we should bother to save, and how much the effort is worth Secondly, the global threat to the diversity of species, particularly in the tropics, has been overestimated Thirdly, we have good substitutes for the species and ecosystems that are being lost, and these substitutes will nullify the damage caused by the extinctions" (3)
The structure of the argument seems to me to be identical in form to that of an old joke from the American vaudeville circuit One elderly lady complained to another about her recent vacation at a resort in the Catskill Mountains in New York State "The food was terrible", she moaned "Pure poison, I couldn't eat a bite And the portions were so tiny!" (4)
Species may be valuable, but not especially so, and the threat to them has been exaggerated But this does not matter anyway, say the economists, because we can replace any species that vanishes.(5)
It is not clear how much of an impact this argument has on the informed public, but it has certainly provoked an outcry among scientific conservationists It has set the terms for, and dominated, most of the pro-diversity literature of the past few years, making it a literature of response, thus limiting its scope and creative force
Question 36: The word "intrinsic" in the passage is closest in meaning to _.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions from 43 to 50.
A useful definition of an air pollutant is a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the
atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetaions, or materials adversely Air
pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change When the first air
pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled-a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions
Many of the more important air' pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen
oxides, are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentrations of these pollutants were altered by
various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil on a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human
activities However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city
In this localized regions, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycle The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us littleuntil we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfurdioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per
Trang 6million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however, as a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm
Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A The economic impact of air pollution
B What constitutes an air pollutant
C How much harm air pollutants can cause
D The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere
Question 44: The word "adversely" is closest in meaning to .
Question 45: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _.
A water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas
B most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled
C the definition of air pollution will continue to change
D a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities
Question 46: The word "altered" is closest in meaning to _.
Question 47: Natural pollutants can play an important role in controlling air pollution for which of
the following reasons?
A They function as part of a purification process
B They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants
C They are less harmful to living beings than are other pollutants
D They have existed since the Earth developed
Question 48: According to the passage, which of the following is true about human-generated air
pollution in localized regions?
A It can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants in the localized region
B It can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants
C It will damage areas outside of the localized regions
D It will react harmfully with naturally occurring pollutants
Question 49:According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance is only
useful if _
A the other substances in the area are known
B it is in a localized area
C the naturally occurring level is also known
D it can be calculated quickly
Question 50: Which of the following is best supported by the passage?
A To effectively control pollution local government should regularly review their air pollution
laws
B One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce air pollution
laws
C Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants
D Human activities have been effective in reducing air pollution
