EXTRA 11 I.Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. 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 sows 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 2 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 a special shorthand, takes notes and during a pause, tells the client what was said. Câu 1. Which of the following would a consecutive interpreter be used for? A.An interpretation of a major literary work. B.A translation of a foreign book. C.A large meeting of many nations.

A B C D V.Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. The hard, rigid plates that form the outermost portion of the Earth are about 100 kilometers thick. These plates include both the Earth's crust and the upper mantle. The rocks of the crust are composed mostly of minerals with light elements, like aluminum and sodium, while the mantle contains some heavier elements, like iron and magnesium. Together, the crust and upper mantle that form the surface plates are called the lithosphere. This rigid layer floats on the denser material of the lower mantle the way a wooden raft floats on a pond. The plates are supported by a weak, plastic layer of the lower mantle called the asthenosphere. Also like a raft on a pond, the lithospheric plates are carried along by slow currents in this more fluid layer beneath them. With an understating of plate tectonics, geologists have put together a new history for the Earth's surface. About 200 million years ago, the plates at the Earth's surface formed a "suppercontinent" called Pangaea. When this supercontinent started to tear apart because of plate movement, Pangaea first broke into two large continental masses with a newly formed sea that grew between the land areas and the depression was filled with water. The southern one, which included the modern continents of South America, Africa, Australia, and Antarctic, is called Gondwanaland. The northern one, with North America, Europe, and Asia, is called Laurasi. North America tore away from Europe about 180 million years ago, forming the northern Atlantic Ocean. Some of the lithospheric plates carry ocean floor and others carry land masses or a combination of the two types. The movement of the lithospheric plates is responsible for earthquakes, volcanoes, and the Earth's largest mountain ranges. Current understating of the interaction between different plates explains why these occur where they do. For example, the edge of the Pacific Ocean has been called the "Ring of Fire" because so many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes happen there. Before the 1960's, geologists could not explain why active volcanoes and strong earthquakes were concentrated in that region. The theory of plate tectonics gave them an answer. Câu 41. With which of the following topic is the passage mainly concerned? A.The methods used by scientists to measure plate movement. B.The mineral composition of the Earth's crust. C.The location of the Earth's major plates. D.The contributions of the theory of plate tectonics to geological knowledge. Câu 42.

According to the passage, the lithosphertic plates are given support by the … A.ocean floor B.asthenosphere C.crust D.upper mantle Câu 44. The word "carry" in the last paragraph could best be replaced by … A.connect B.support C.squeeze D.damage Câu 45. The word "concentrated" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to which of the following? A.exploded B.allowed C.strengthened D.clustered Câu 46. According to the passage, the northern Atlantic Ocean was formed when… A.Gondwanaland collided with other templates. B.Pangaea was created C.Parts of Laurasi separated from the each other. D.Pangaea Plate movement ceased Câu 47. Which of the following can be inferred about the theory of plate tectonics? A.It was first proposed in the 1960's B.It refutes the theory of the existence of a supercontinent C.It fails to explain why earthquakes occur D.It is no longer of great interest to geologists.

A.Lava flowing from a volcano B.A fish swimming in a pond C.The erosion of rocks by running water. D.A boat floating on the water Câu 49.
