 IX    Read the passage.

      Over a million people working in America’s fields, and far more globally, are about to face competition from workers who never get tired or ask for a living wage.

      As field robots have gotten cheaper, a steady stream of farm jobs are being automated. Lettuce weeding is one of the first where the cost of robots now matches human labor. Weeding lettuce is slow, expensive, and potentially dangerous due to chemical exposure. Farm workers must spray individual weeds from a pesticide-filled backpack. Automated systems like the one designed by Danish firm F. Poulsen Engineering replace this with mechanical weeding and computer vision to distinguish between crops and pests. The company says it can do the job much faster and at no extra cost.

            Robots will likely make inroads fastest in areas where the labor is backbreaking, and peak harvest times create a short supply of workers. Most robots have been built for specialized tasks: grapevine pruners, lettuce thinners, strawberry picking and cow-­milking robots. But corn and other commodity crops are already taking advantage of economies of scale to get ahead of the cost curve. Large corn farmers in the US are buying features like self-steering tractors to save money. Even though the technology isn’t expected to reach price parity with human labor until 

2020 for most farmers, about 10% of US farmer have adopted the technology because of their scale.

Xin chào tất cả các em, chúng mình cùng tiếp tục chuỗi các câu hỏi ôn tập thi vào lớp 10 môn Tiếng Anh cùng Hoc24 nhé!

Read the following article about how to be environmentally friendly and decide in which paragraph (A - E) the following are mentioned. Write your answer (A, B, C, D, or E). Write one letter for each answer. The paragraphs may be chosen more than once.

A. FAIR TRADE

Farmers in developing countries are some of the most vulnerable people on earth, prey to world commodity markets, middlemen and the weather. So-called “fair trade” arrangements guarantee co-operative groups a price above the world market and a bonus on top. The growing fair-trade market has distributed hundreds of millions of pounds to more than 50 million people worldwide. But critics say that fair trade will never lift a country out of poverty; indeed, it may keep it there, because the money generated from the sale goes almost in its entirety to rich countries which promote the products. As a simple guide, only about 5% of the sale price of a fair-trade chocolate bar may actually go to a poor country.

B. ORGANIC FOOD

For food to be organic it must be free of added chemicals, both in the growing of the food and in the killing of the pests that might damage the crop. In a world where many manufactured chemicals have never been properly tested for safety, this is a very big selling point. Parents are thus prepared to pay a premium for organic food, especially when chemicals suspected of causing a variety of problems have been found, albeit in tiny quantities, in most children’s blood. The problem is that many farmers have not switched to organic in sufficient numbers to satisfy this growing market. As a result, supermarkets are often forced to fly vegetables as they can label “organic” halfway around the world, at a great cost to the planet in extra greenhouse gases. Environmentalists are now urging shoppers to buy locally produced vegetables, even if they are not organic and have been sprayed with pesticides.

C. RECYCLING

A great shift has taken place in the way we think about rubbish. Where once we were happy to bury it in landfills or dump it at sea, we are now being urged by national and local governments to recycle it and think of waste as a resource. The wheelie-bin culture is being replaced by a series of kerbside collections for paper, metals, plastic, bottles, clothes and compost. The idea is to cut landfill as well as saving the planet. It is, however, having some unexpected consequences. Most of Britain's plastic and paper is now being sent for recycling in China or India, which creates more greenhouse gases just to get it there, plus workers then have to separate it. Meanwhile, some paper and bottles carefully sorted out by householders end up being dumped in landfills after all, because the demand for recycled materials constantly fluctuates.

D. BEING CARBON NEUTRAL

If you want to make yourself feel better about the planet, there are lots for you to ease your conscience by becoming “carbon neutral”. One of the most appealing methods is to pay for someone to plant trees, preferably creating or regenerating new forests. The theory is that trees grow by absorbing carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen storing the carbon in their trunks. But woods and forests create their own mini-climate, which collects and stores water and creates rainclouds. Added to this, there is the potential problem that planting trees often releases carbon stored in the soil – and what happens if the forests catch fire, or are chopped down and harvested for timber? Another and perhaps better solution might be to invest in small-scale hydro-electric schemes, so that people who live in the Himalayas, for example, and currently do not have electricity, can develop a 21st-century lifestyle without polluting the planet.

E. ECO-TOURISM

The idea of “green” tourism is to persuade local people not to chop down forests, shoot elephants or wipe out tigers, but to preserve them so rich tourists visit and peer at the wildlife through binoculars. Unfortunately, the best money is made from reintroducing animals for trophy hunting by the very rich- an idea which does not always meet with approval and has caused much debate. While tourists may help sustain some national parks, they often create as many problems as they solve. One is that they tend to demand all mod cons in their hotels, such as a great deal of water for showers; a luxury sometimes not available for locals. Eco-tourism, when properly managed, can offer the locals and the animals a brighter future. Sometimes, though, the only winners are a few business people who own hotels.

 

In which section is the following mentioned?

a controversial pastime that rises considerable money?Question 1. ______ 
an action that creates a different weather patternQuestion 2. ______ 

an undesirable result of unnecessary global transportation

(NB. You must provide two different option)

Read the sentences and decide which statement(s) is/are true, false or not given.
1) A total of about 20 000 deaths caused by lung cancer is closely related to smoking in countries like the United States. Therefore, smoking prohibition is one of the best solutions for fewer deaths due to lung cancer in those countries.
A. There are 20 000 deaths caused by cigarettes in the USA.
B. 20 000 deaths caused by cancer are people who live in America.
C. Several countries need to ban smoking completely, like the United States.
D. Such governments as the USA's will have fewer deaths caused by smoking, should they establish smoking prohibition.
E. The USA hasn't had any deaths relating to cigarettes.

2) It is proved that people living with smokers will be more likely to suffer from lung diseases than smokers. For instance, in a family where the husband is a smoker, his wife and children will have a more 25% chance to suffer from diseases like pneumonia. People who exposed to constant smoking during childhood and/or adolescence will also have more chances to have respiratory diseases.
A. If you live with somebody who smokes, you will also take up smoking.
B. If you live with somebody who smokes, you won't have pneumonia.
C. If your parents smoked constantly during your childhood, you will be likely to suffer from respiratory diseases.
D. High level of exposure to smoking can make you more likely to have lung diseases.

3) Deaths caused by respiratory diseases are no longer unrelated to smoking. Patients who suffer from diseases like pneumonia or COPD won't stand a chance of survival if they are heavy smokers. Moreover, Emphysema or other diseases will make patients less likely to have no after-effects.
A. Smoking is, however, unrelated to lung cancer.
B. Patients who suffer from COPD and Emphysema will be likely to have after-effects.
C. Heavy smokers won't survive if they are sick.
D. There is no chance that a heavy smoker will able to overcome respiratory diseases.

Chiếc xe đạp là một cách rẻ tiền và sạch sẽ để đi du lịch. Chiếc xe đạp đầu tiên được chế tạo cách đây khoảng một trăm năm mươi năm. Lúc đầu, xe đạp đắt tiền. Chỉ những người giàu mới có thể mua một cái. Những chiếc xe đạp đầu này trông rất khác với chiếc xe chúng ta có ngày nay. Sau đó, khi xe đạp trở nên rẻ hơn, nhiều người đã mua một chiếc. Mọi người bắt đầu đi xe đạp để làm việc và trong thời gian rảnh rỗi của họ.

Ngày nay, người ta sử dụng xe hơi nhiều hơn xe đạp; xe hơi nhanh hơn nhiều và bạn không bị ướt khi trời mưa! Nhưng một số người vẫn thích chu kỳ làm việc. Họ nói rằng có quá nhiều ô tô ở trung tâm thị trấn và bạn không thể tìm thấy bất cứ nơi nào để đỗ xe.

They wanted books because they were expensive and there was something magical about them. Only a few people were able to write, and it took an extremely long time to write a book. Monks and other people who could write said ordinary people could not learn to read.

The position with computers in very similar today. A few years ago, computers were very large and expensive. Business managers and rich people ordered them but they didn’t know how to use them.

What do you think of when you read the word ‘robot’? Many people think about big machines in car factories or futuristic monsters in films. Few of us think about the past. But people were building incredible machines with human abilities hundreds of years ago!

            For example, Egyptian texts from 1100 BC mention moving statues which ‘chose’ the next king. None of these statues exists, but probably they were built using the ancient Egyptians’ mechanical technology. Another ancient Greek inventor, Philon of Byzantium, built a female robot. If someone placed a cup in her hand, it mixed water and wine to make a drink. However, the robot wasn’t popular because people didn’t need robots to work. They had lots of slaves.

            After that, more and more mechanical robots were built. They did more and more difficult tasks, such as playing the flute, writing and drawing a picture. Although modern technology has moved on, these historical robots still amaze people today.
