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 from 36 to 42
The idea of building “New Towns” to absorb growth is frequently considered a cure-all for urban problems It is erroneously assumed that if new residents can be diverted from existing centers, the present urban situation at least will get no worse It is further and equally erroneously assumed that since European New Towns have been financially and socially successful, we can expect the same sorts of results in the United States
Present planning, thinking, and legislation will not produce the kinds of New Town that have been successful abroad It will multiply suburbs or encourage developments in areas where land is cheap and construction profitable rather than where New Towns are genuinely needed Such ill-considered projects not only will fail to relieve pressures on existing cities but will, in fact, tend to weaken those cities further by drawing away high-income citizens and increasing the concentration of low-high-income groups that are unable to provide tax income The remaining taxpayers, accordingly, will face increasing burdens, and industry and commerce will seek escape Unfortunately, this mechanism is already at work in some metropolitan areas
The promoters of New Towns so far in the United States have been developers, builders, and financial institutions The main interest of these promoters is economic gain Furthermore, federal regulations designed to promote the New Town idea not consider social needs as the European New Town plans In fact, our regulations specify virtually all the ingredients of the typical suburban community, with a bit of political rhetoric thrown in
A workable American New Town formula should be established as firmly here as the national formula was in Britain All possible social and governmental innovations as well as financial factors should be thoroughly considered and accommodated in this policy Its objectives should be clearly stated, and both incentives and penalties should be provided to ensure that the objectives are pursued If such a policy is developed, then the New Town approach can play an important role in alleviating America’s urban problems
Câu 36: The passage is mainly about _ A The origin of New Towns
B The differences between Britain's New Town formula and other European countries’ C Some necessary incentives and penalties for making New Town formula workable D The purpose of building New Towns
Câu 37: The word “erroneously” in paragraph probably means
A incorrectly B accurately C precisely D simultaneously
Câu 38: The author believes that New Towns are not being built where they are genuinely needed because _
A the promoters of New Towns are motivated chiefly by self-interest B few people want to live in areas where land is still cheap
C the government offers developers incentives to build in other areas D no studies have been done to determine the best locations
Câu 39: The word “that” in paragraph refers to _
A those cities B low-income groups C tax-payers D high-income citizens Câu 40: Which of the following statements about European New Towns is NOT true?
A The basic aim of building new towns is economic gain
B All social and governmental problems have been taken into account C They have relieved the pressure on big cities

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 from 43 to 50
Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned vehicles, along with breakthroughs in satellite technology and computer equipment, have overcome some of the limitations of divers and diving equipment for scientists doing research on the great oceans of the world Without a vehicle, divers often became sluggish, and their mental concentration was severely limited Because undersea pressure affects their speech organs, communication among divers has always been difficult or impossible But today, most oceanographers avoid the use of vulnerable human divers, preferring to reduce the risk to human life and make direct observations by means of instruments that are lowered into the ocean, from samples taken from the water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites Direct observations of the ocean floor can be made not only by divers but also by deep-diving submarines in the water and even by the technology of sophisticated aerial photography from vantage points above the surface of more than seven miles and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet In addition, radio-equipped buoys can be operated by remote control in order to transmit information back to land-based laboratories via satellite Particularly important for ocean study are data about water temperature, currents, and weather Satellite photographs can show the distribution of sea ice, oil slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean Maps created from satellite pictures can represent the temperature and the color of the ocean’s surface, enabling researchers to study the ocean currents from laboratories on dry land Furthermore, computers help oceanographers to collect, organize, and analyze data from submarines and satellites By creating a model of the ocean’s movement and characteristics, scientists can predict the patterns and possible effects of the ocean on the environment
Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and computers than on research ships or even submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information more quickly and more effectively Some of humankind’s most serious problems, especially those concerning energy and food, may be solved with the help of observations made possible by his new technology
