Mandatory volunteering made many members of Maryland high school class of 1997 rumble with indignation. They didn’t like a new requirement that made them take part in the school’s community service program.

Future seniors, however, probably won't be as resistant now that the program has been broken in. Some, like John Maloney, already have completed their required hours of approved community service. The Bowie High School sophomore earned his hours in eighth grade by volunteering two nights a week at the Larkin-Chase Nursing and Restorative Center in Bowie. He played shuffleboard, cards, and other games with the senior citizens. He also helped plan parties for them and visited their rooms to keep them company. That experience inspired him to continue volunteering in the community.

John, 15, is not finished volunteering. Once a week he videotapes animals at the Prince George County animal shelter in Forestville. His footage is shown on the Bowie public access television channel in hopes of finding homes for the animals."Volunteering is better than just sitting around," says John, "and I like animals; I don't want to see them put to sleep. "

He's not the only volunteer in his family. His sister, Melissa, an eighth grader, has completed her hours also volunteering at Larkin-Chase. "It is a good idea to have kids go out into the community, but it's frustrating to have to write essays about the work," she said. "It makes you feel like you're doing it for the requirement and not for yourself."

The high school's service learning office, run by Beth Ansley, provides information on organizations seeking volunteers so that students will have an easier time fulfilling their hours. "It's ridiculous that people are opposing the requirements," said Amy Rouse, who this summer has worked at the Ronald McDonald House and has helped to rebuild a church in Clinton. "So many people won't do the service unless it's mandatory," Rouse said, "but once they start doing it, they'll really like it and hopefully it will become a part of their lives - like it has become a part of mine."

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? 

A. Students can work for a variety of different organizations

B. Students are required to perform community service jobs

C. Many high school students enjoy their volunteer work

D. Students with difficulties can choose not to volunteer

Dịch bài đọc:

Tình nguyện bắt buộc khiến nhiều thành viên của lớp trung học Maryland năm 1997 ầm ầm phẫn nộ. Họ không thích yêu cầu bắt họ tham gia vào chương trình dịch vụ cộng đồng của trường học.

Tuy nhiên, học sinh trung học trong tương lai có lẽ sẽ không thể kháng cự khi chương trình đã được huấn luyện. Một số người, như John Maloney, đã hoàn thành số giờ yêu cầu dịch vụ cộng đồng được phê duyệt. Học sinh năm hai trường trung học Bowie có được nhiều giờ ở lớp tám bằng cách tình nguyện hai đêm một tuần tại Trung tâm Điều dưỡng và Phục hồi Larkin-Chase ở Bowie. Cậu ấy chơi shuffleboard, chơi bài và các trò chơi khác với các học sinh trung học. Cậu ấy cũng giúp lập kế hoạch cho các bữa tiệc và đến thăm phòng của họ để giữ họ tiếp tục hợp tác. Trải nghiệm đó đã truyền cảm hứng cho cậu tiếp tục tình nguyện trong cộng đồng.

John, 15 tuổi, chưa kết thúc tình nguyện. Mỗi tuần một lần cậu quay video động vật tại khu bảo tồn động vật quận Prince George ở Forestville. Cảnh quay của cậu được chiếu trên kênh truyền hình công cộng Bowie với hy vọng tìm được nhà cho động vật. "Tình nguyện tốt hơn là chỉ ngồi một chỗ", John nói, "và tôi thích động vật; Tôi không muốn thấy chúng chết." Cậu ấy không phải là tình nguyện viên duy nhất trong gia đình. Em gái của cậu, Melissa, một học sinh lớp tám, đã hoàn thành những giờ làm việc tình nguyện tại Larkin- Chase. "Đó là một ý tưởng hay để đưa trẻ em ra ngoài cộng đồng, nhưng thật bực khi phải viết các bài tiểu luận về công việc," cô nói. "Nó làm cho bạn cảm thấy như bạn đang làm điều đó vì yêu cầu chứ không phải cho chính mình."

Văn phòng học tập của trường trung học, do Beth Ansley điều hành, cung cấp thông tin về các tổ chức tìm kiếm tình nguyện viên để học sinh có thời gian hoàn thành dễ dàng hơn. "Thật nực cười khi mọi người phản đối các yêu cầu", Amy Rouse, người mùa hè này đã làm việc tại Ronald McDonald House và đã giúp xây dựng lại một nhà thờ ở Clinton. "Rất nhiều người sẽ không làm dịch vụ trừ khi bắt buộc", Rouse nói, "nhưng một khi họ bắt đầu thực hiện, họ sẽ thực sự thích nó và hy vọng nó sẽ trở thành một phần trong cuộc sống của họ - giống như nó đã trở thành một phần của cuộc sống của tôi."

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   22  to  26

A.   Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.

The ruined temples of Angkor are perhaps one of the mast impressive Seven Wonders of the World. Located in modern day Cambodia near Lake TonIe Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Asia, Angkor was the seat of power for the Khmer Empire from the ninth to the fifteenth century. The ruins of Angkor are documented as same .of the mast impressive ones in the world, rivaling the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Why this mighty civilization died out is a question that archeologists are now only beginning to ponder. The answer, it turns out, may be linked with the availability of fresh water.

One possible explanation far the downfall of the Khmer Empire has to do with the inhabitants' irrigation system. The temple and palaces of Angkor were constructed around a series of artificial reservoirs and canals which were annually flooded to capacity by the Mekong River. Once filled, they were used to irrigate the surrounding rice patties and farmland during the course of the year. Farmers were completely dependent upon the water for their crucial rice crop. Without consistent irrigation, the farmers would have been unable to maintain functional crop production.

Scientists speculate that toward the end of the Khmer Empire the hydraulic systems of the reservoirs and canals broke down. The construction of hundreds of sandstone temples and palaces required an enormous amount of physical labor. In addition, as the capital of the Khmer Empire, Angkor contained upwards of one hundred thousand people who resided in and around Angkor. In order to feed so many people, the local farmers were driven to grow food quicker and more efficiently. After centuries of continual use, the irrigation system was pushed beyond its capacity. Soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and the loss of water led to decrease in the food supply. With less food available, the people of Angkor slowly began to migrate to other parts of Cambodia thus leaving the marvelous city of Angkor to be swallowed by the jungle. Therefore, it is speculated that the Khmer Empire may have fallen victim to its own decrepit infrastructure.

22. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Modern day agricultural procedures in Cambodia.

B. A possible explanation for the, decline of a civilization.

C. The essential role water plays in farming.

23. The passage preceding the passage most likely discusses ______.

A. architecture of ancient Asian civilization

B. religious practices of the people of Angkor

C. the form of government practiced by the Khmer Empire

D. the other six wonders of the world

24. According to the passage, Lake Tonle Sap in Cambodia ______.

A. is an enormous fresh body of water in Asia

B. was unable to supply enough fish for the people of Angkor

C. became polluted due to a population explosion

D. is one of the Seven Wonders of the World

25. Why does the author mention the hydraulic systems of the reservoirs?

A. They supplied irrigation from the Indian Ocean.

B. They became non-functional due to overuse.

C. They were destroyed by nearby warrior tribes.

D. They helped transport the sandstones for constructing temples.

26. It can be inferred from the passage that the inhabitants of the Khmer Empire ______.

A. were intentionally starved by the farmers

B. lost their food source due to excess rainfall

C. supplemented their diets with 'meat hunted in the nearby jungles

. 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.

                                                    

The volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand. This caused many problems, including serious air pollution, lengthy delays, and the greater risk of accidents. Clearly, something must be done, but it is difficult to persuade people to change habits and leaves their cars at home.

One possible approach is to make it more expensive for people to use their cars by increasing charges for parking and bringing in tougher fines for anyone who breaks the law. In addition, drivers could be required to pay for using particular routes at differ times of the day. This system, known as road pricing has already been introduced in a number of cities, using a special electronic card fixed to the windscreen of the car. Of course, the most important thing is to provide good public transport. However, to get people to give up the comfort of their cars, public transport must be felt to be reliable, convenient and comfortable, with fares kept at an acceptable level.

Glossary:          persuade (v.) (~ sb to do sth): thuyết phục (ai làm gì)

tough (adj.) = difficult; strict: khó; nghiêm khăc

 a tough fine: phạt tiền thật nặng reliable (adj.): đáng tin cậy

38. The word expand in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____________________.

A. decrease                    B. increase                              C. reduce                    D. develop

39. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem caused by more traffic?

A. serious air pollution                                          B. greater risks of accidents

C. people’s habits                                                  D. very long delays

40. The most important thing to encourage people to use public transport is _________________

A. high parking fees                                                                   B. good public transport

C. road using fees                                                                       D. high charges for public transport

41. The verb give up is closest in meaning to ______________________.

A. continue using               B. encourage                                   C. get bored with               D. stop using

42. We can learn from the text that  _______________.

A. it is easy for people to change their habits

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worldwide contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awarded ceremony.

Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from 30.000 dollars to 125.000 dollars.

Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death , the awards (gold medals, illuminated diploma and money) are present to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important roles in the judges’ decision. American have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.

No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; other have shares their prizes.

Câu 26: When did the first award ceremony take place?

A. 1895

B. 1901

C. 1962

D. 1968
