Paul Watson is an environmental activist. He is a man who believes that he must do something, not just talk about doing something. Paul believes in protecting endangered animals, and he protects them in controversial ways. Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very much. Other people think that he is a criminal.

On July 16^th, 1979, Paul Watson and his crew were on his ship, which is called the Sea Shepherd. Watson and the people who work on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal. However, they had a strange prey; instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship, the Sierra. The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a result, the Sierra never returned to the sea. The Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada. Paul Watson and his workers thought that they had been successful.

The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally. The captain and the crew of the Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed as many whales as they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later, they sold the whale meat in countries where it is eaten.

Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra. However, the commission did very little, and Paul became impatient. He decided to stop the Sierra and other whaling ships in any way that he could. He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal whaling ship, and he sank the Sierra. He acted because he believes that the whales must be protected. Still, he acted without the approval of the government; therefore, his actions were controversial. Gây tranh cãi

Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist. Other men and women are also fighting to protect the Earth. Like Watson, they do not always have the approval of their governments, and like Watson, they have become impatient. Yet, because of their concern for the environment, they will act to protect it.

  Simply being bilingual doesn’t qualify someone to interpret. Interpreting is not only a mechanical process of converting one sentence in language A into the same sentence in language B. Rather, its a complex art in which thoughts and idioms that have no obvious counterparts from tongue to tongue _ or words that have several meanings must be quickly transformed in such a way that the message is clearly and accurately expressed to the listener.

  At one international conference, an American speaker said, “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear”, which meant nothing to the Spanish audience. The interpretation was, “A monkey in a silk dress is still a monkey” _ an idiom the Spanish understood and that expressed the same idea.

There are two kinds of interpreters, simultaneous and consecutive. The former, sitting in a separated booth, usually at a large multilingual conference, speaks to listeners wearing headphones, interpreting what a foreign language speaker says _ actually a sentence behind. Consecutive interpreters are the ones most international negotiations use. They are employed for smaller meetings without sound booths and headphones. Consecutive interpretation also requires two-person teams. A foreign speaker says his piece while the interpreter, using special shorthand, takes notes and during a pause, tells the client what was said.

 A. To explain the scope of interpreting. B. To differentiate between simultaneous and consecutive interpreters. 

  A. simpler than it really is   B. very complex and demanding  

C. highly valued and admired   D. based on principles of business

53. The example “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear” is used to ________.

  A. A business transaction between 2 foreign speakers.   B. A large meeting of many nations. 

  A. A dictionary or phrase book. B. Advanced technical style in writing. 

  A. The money they are paid. B. The size of group with whom they work.

  A. understanding  B. changing C. reading  D. concluding

  A. simultaneous interpreters  B. the booth   C. consecutive interpreters  D. the conference

Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their children at home. In fact, the U.S. Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were being homeschooled. Some educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and the ranks of homeschooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven percent every year.

At one time, there was a theory accounting for homeschooling. It was traditionally used for students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties. Today, however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at home due to their dissatisfaction with the educational system. Many parents are unhappy about class size, as well as problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students. The children are, therefore, deprived of the attention they need. Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children from school.

Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the U.S. has become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger. There are now plenty of websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them to learn more about educating their children. Though once it was the only choice for troubled children, homeschooling today is an accepted alternative to an educational system that many believe is failing.

71. The number of parents who want to teach their own children in the U.S. is _______.

A. remaining unchanged B. remaining the same C. going up D. going down

72. The past participle “homeschooled” in the first paragraph is best equivalent to “_____at home”.

A. taught B. self-learned C. untaught D. self-studied

73. This estimated number was presented by _______.

74. According to some experts, the exact number of homeschooled children then must be _______.

A. 1,600,000 B. 850,000 C. 1,900,000 D. 1,700,000

75. The closest synonym of the participle phrase “accounting for” in the second paragraph is _______.

76. More parents want their children homeschooled because they completely __ the current educational system.

A. please with B. object to C. appeal to D. approve of

77. The noun “dissatisfaction” in this paragraph is best equivalent to _______.

78. Many parents stop their children from going to school because it is now too _______ for them.

A. explosive B. expensive C. dangerous D. humorous

79. The word “arguments” at the beginning of the third paragraph can be best replaced by _______.

A. rows B. quarrels C. viewpoints D. discussions

80. The attitude of the author towards homeschooling can be best described as _______.

A. acceptable B. favorable C. remarkable D. unfavorable

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answers:

The sun today is a yellow dwarf (nhỏ)star. It is fueled by thermonuclear (nhiệt hạt nhân) reactions near its center that convert hydrogen to helium. The sun has existed in its present state for about 4 billion, 600 million years and is thousands of times larger than the Earth.

By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the rest of the Sun’s life will be like. About 5 billion years from now, the core of the Sun will shrink (co lại) and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions.The outer regions of the Sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to Mercury, which is the closest planet to the Sun. The Sun will then be a red giant star.

Temperatures on the Earth will become too hot for life to exist. Once the Sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks to the size of the Earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The Sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova (sao mới) explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf.

After billions of years as a white dwarf, the Sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat. Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the Sun has become a black dwarf, the Earth will be dark and cold. If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen onto the Earth’s surface.

Question 56: What is the primary purpose of this passage?

A.To alert people to the dangers posed by the Sun. B.To discuss conditions on Earth in the far future.
