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 30 to 34.                                          

BASKETBALL

Although he created the game of basketball at the YMCA in Springfield, Massachusetts, Dr. James A Naismith was a Canadian. Working as a physical education instructor at the International YMCA, now Springfield College, Dr. Naismith noticed a lack of interest in exercise among students during the wintertime. The New England winters were fierce, and the students balked at participating in outdoor activities. Naismith determined a fast-moving game that could be played indoors would fill a void after the baseball and football seasons had ended.

First, he attempted to adapt outdoor games such as soccer and rugby to indoor play, but he soon found them unsuitable for confined areas. Finally, he determined that he would have to invent a game.

In December of 1891, Dr. Naismith hung two old peach baskets at either end of the gymnasium at the school, and, using a soccer ball and nine players on each side, organized the first basketball game. The early rules allowed three points for each basket and made running with the ball violation. Every time a goal was made, someone had to climb a ladder to retrieve the ball.

Nevertheless, the game became popular. In less than a year, basketball was being played in both the United States and Canada. Five years later, a championship tournament was staged in New York City, which was won by the Brooklyn Central YMCA.

The teams had already been reduced to seven players, and five became standard in 1897 season. When basketball was introduced as a demonstration sport in the 1904 Olympic Games in St. Luis, it quickly spread throughout the world. In 1906, a metal hoop was used for the first time to replace the basket, but the name basketball has remained.

The word “fierce” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.

A. long

B. boring

C. extreme

D. dark

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or B on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34.

  At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system was desperately in need of reform. Private schools existed, but only for the very rich. There were very few public schools because of the strong sentiment that children who would grow up to be laborers should not “waste” their time on education but should instead prepare themselves for their life’s work. It was in the face of this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task. Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated. As Manager of Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country. He extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries. Although these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further strengthening of the system.

The passage implied that to go to a private school, a student needed _______.

A. a lot of money

B. a high level of intelligence

C. good grades

D. a strong educational background

Đoạn văn ngụ ý rằng để đi đến một trường tư, một học sinh cần_______

A. rất nhiều tiền

B. mức độ trí tuệ cao

C. điểm cao

D. một nền tảng giáo dục vững chắc

Dẫn chứng: “Private schools existed, but only for the very rich”

( Các trường tư có tồn tại, nhưng chỉ dành cho người giàu.)

Dịch bài:

Vào đầu thế kỷ XIX, hệ thống giáo dục Mỹ rất cần cải cách. Các trường tư thục tồn tại, nhưng chỉ dành cho những người giàu có. Có rất ít trường công lập vì ý kiến mạnh mẽ rằng những đứa trẻ lớn lên để trở thành những người lao động không nên "lãng phí" thời gian học hành mà nên chuẩn bị cho công việc cuộc sống của mình. Đối mặt với lập trường này của công chúng, các nhà cải cách giáo dục đặt ra cho nhiệm vụ của mình. Horace Mann, có lẽ là người nổi tiếng nhất trong số các nhà cải cách, cảm thấy rằng không có lời bào chữa nào trong một nước cộng hòa cho việc công dân phải thất học. Là Quản lý Giáo dục ở tiểu bang Massachusetts từ năm 1837 đến năm 1848, ông đã khởi xướng nhiều sự đổi mới khác nhau, mà sớm được làm cho phù hợp với các học khu khác trên khắp đất nước. Ông kéo dài năm học từ năm đến sáu tháng và nâng cao chất lượng giáo viên bằng cách đặt ra hệ thống giáo dục sư phạm và tăng lương cho giáo viên. Mặc dù những thay đổi này không mang lại sự cải thiện đột biến trong hệ thống giáo dục nhưng ít nhất chúng cũng nâng cao nhận thức của công chúng về nhu cầu cải thiện hệ thống giáo dục.

   Sau hai thập niên gia tăng số sinh viên nhập học và sự thịnh vượng kinh tế, các trường kinh doanh ở Hoa Kỳ đã bắt đầu phải đối mặt với một thời gian khó khăn hơn. Chỉ có trường MBA ở Havard đã cho thấy một sự gia tăng đáng kể trong tuyển sinh trong những năm gần đây. Cả Princeton và Stanford đều đã chứng kiến sự sụt giảm trong số học sinh ghi danh. Từ năm 1990, số người nhận bằng Thạc sĩ Quản trị Kinh doanh (MBA) đã giảm khoảng 3% xuống còn 75000 và xu hướng giảm tỷ lệ nhập học sẽ tiếp tục.

Có hai yếu tố gây ra sự sụt giảm này trong số sinh viên tìm kiếm bằng MBA. Yếu tố đầu tiên là nhiều sinh viên tốt nghiệp của các trường cao đẳng bốn năm đang cho thấy rằng bằng MBA không đảm bảo công việc sang trọng ở phố Wall hoặc ở các quận tài chính khác của các thành phố lớn ở Mỹ. Nhiều công việc quản lý cấp nhập môn sẽ dành cho sinh viên tốt nghiệp bằng thạc sĩ Anh văn và nhân văn cũng như những người có bằng MBA. Các sinh viên đã hỏi rằng "Bằng MBA có thực sự là điều tôi cần phải chuẩn bị tốt nhất để có được công việc tốt không?" Yếu tố chính thứ hai là việc cắt giảm biên chế của Mỹ và số lượng công việc nhập môn thấp hơn đang được cung cấp. Nhu cầu kinh doanh đang thay đổi và các trường MBA đang phải vật lộn để đáp ứng các yêu cầu mới.
