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 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 example for many college students is the question "What will I 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 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?

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 than dead 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 in exchange 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 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 well, the snow leopard may just have a figting chance Question41: Which of these is NOT true about the Himalayan Homestays program? A The organization helps herders to build fences B Herders provide accommodation to guests C Some herders work as nature guides D Visitors pay $10 a week to stay at a herder’s house Question42: The purpose of the projects mentioned is A to persuade herders to live on eco-tourism not raising animals B to elevate the status of the women in the communities C to increase the population of snow leopards in wildlife reserves D to make local people have a sustainable life to protect snow leopards Question43: The phrase “this trend” in paragraph refers to A the fall in the snow leopard population B the pressures caused by the black market C increasing conflict with the herders D the opinions of conservationists Question44: What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A Local herders are uncooperative in attempts to save snow leopards 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 Question45: The word “address” in in paragraph can be replaced by A solve B locate C discuss D change Question46: Why is the Mongolian women's status in the community “elevated”? A They can encourage their neighbours B They are saving money for the snow leopards C They are earning money for the community D They are living higher up in the mountain Question47: According to conservationists, what is the best way to save the snow leopard? A Create a nature park where they can be free B Move herders away from where the snow leopard lives C Pass laws to punish people who kill snow leopards for their fur D Make people recognize the value of living snow leopards Question48: The word “bodies” in paragraph refers to A the big cats B snow leopards C local herders D the herders’ animals Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on you answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the rest in the position of the main stress in each of the following questions Question49: A suspicious B marvelous C physical D argument Question50: A spaciousness B solicitor C consequence D separately 1-B 11-D 21-B 31-B 41-D 2-D 12-A 22-B 32-D 42-C 3-D 13-A 23-C 33-C 43-A 4-A 14-C 24-B 34-C 44-D 5-C 15-A 25-C 35-C 45-A Đáp án 6-B 7-A 16-B 17-A 26-B 27-C 36-B 37-D 46-C 47-D 8-C 18-D 28-D 38-D 48-D 9-B 19-B 29-C 39-C 49-A 10-C 20-C 30-A 40-D 50-B LỜI GIẢI CHI TIẾT Question B Kiến thức: Từ vựng, từ trái nghĩa Giải thích: indispensable (a): thiếu được, thiết yếu novel (a): lạ unnecessary (a): không cần thiết exotic (a): kỳ lạ, ngoại lai vital (a): quan trọng;

that the sport originated in the rivers and lakes of mid-19th century England as an aquatic version of rugby Early games used an inflated rubber ball that came from India known as a "pulu" (the single Indian word for all "balls") Pronounced "polo" by the English, both the game and the ball became known as "water polo." To attract more spectators to swimming exhibitions, the London Swimming Association designed a set of water polo rules for indoor swimming pools in 1870 At first, players scored by planting the ball on the end of the pool with both hands A favorite trick of the players was to place the five-to-nine inch rubber ball inside their swimming suit and dive under the murky water, they would then appear again as close to the goal as possible The introduction of the rules by Scottish players changed the nature of water polo It became a game that emphasized swimming, speed and passing Scottish rules moved from a rugby variant to a soccer style of play Goals became a cage of 10x feet and a goal could be scored by being thrown Players could only be tackled when they "held" the ball and the ball could no longer be taken under water The small rubber ball was replaced by a leather soccer ball If the player came up too near the goal, he was promptly jumped on by the goalie, who was permitted to stand on the pool deck Games were often nothing more than gang fights in the water as players ignored the ball, preferring underwater wrestling matches that usually ended with one man floating to the surface unconscious Water polo was first played in the USA in 1888 The game featured the old rugby style of play which resembled American football in the water "American style" water polo became very popular and by the late 1890's was played in such venues as Madison Square Garden and Boston's Mechanics Hall, attracting 14,000 spectators to national championship games 36 According to the text, _ a

few simple precautions to protect their homes The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very obviously empty This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is wellprotected A burglar will wonder if it is worth the bother There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic Avoid leaving signs that your house is empty When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a radio or television, and not leave any curtains wide open The sight of your latest music centre or computer is enough to tempt any burglar Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place The first place a burglar will look is under the doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by the intruder It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbour you can trust But if your house is in a quiet, desolate area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has decided to target your home Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders Downstairs windows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked No matter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get through For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should have top quality security locks fitted Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent Install a burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defence against intruders A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property Why go to the trouble of breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure When you have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are genuine Ask to see an identity card, for example If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder It is far better to telephone the police and wait for help Question 45: A well-protected house _ A is less likely to be burgled B is regarded as a challenge by most criminals C is a lot of bother to maintain D is very unlikely to be burgled Question 46: According to the writer, we should A avoid leaving our house empty B only go out when we have to C always keep the curtains closed D give the impression that our house is occupied when we go out Question 47: The writer thinks that hiding a key under a doormat or flower pot A is predictable B is useful C is imaginative D is where you always find a spare key Question 48: What word best replaces “desolate” in paragraph 4?
