Most clubs have training sessions or even professionals who (32)<br /> lessons. Secondly, it’s a chance to<br /> meet people who enjoy doing the same things as you so you will probably get (33)<br /> with them and end up with a<br /> good network of friends. Also these clubs usually have an excellent social life as they arrange parties and special<br /> occasions at the club where you can meet to talk and eat together and generally have a good time. Many people (34)<br /> up sports in their early teens but it is good idea to continue as doing sport is a way of relieving<br /> stress and giving you more energy as well as being a good break from your studies. Best of all, a lot of clubs can<br /> arrange to get tickets for top sporting events that are hard to (35)___ This means you can often get<br /> front row<br /> Trang 2/4 - Mã đề thi 209<br /> <br /> seats for matches and competitions in your favorite sport, or you may even be able to see your favorite team.

We<br /> are working longer hours, taking fewer and shorter vacations (and when we do go away, we take our cell phones,<br /> PDAs, and laptops along). And, we are more stressed than ever as increased use of e-mail, voice mail, cell phones, and<br /> the Internet is destroying any idea of privacy and leisure.<br /> Since the Industrial Revolution, people have assumed that new labor-saving devices would free them from the<br /> burdens of the workplace and give them more time to grow intellectually, creatively, and socially – exploring the arts,<br /> keeping up with current events, spending more time with friends and family, and even just ‘goofing off’.<br /> But here we are at the start of the 21st century, enjoying one of the greatest technological boom times in human<br /> history, and nothing could be further from the truth. The very tools that were supposed to liberate us have bound us to<br /> our work and study in ways that were inconceivable just a few years ago. It would seem that technology almost never<br /> does what we expect.<br /> In ‘the old days’, the lines between work and leisure time were markedly clearer. People left their offices at a<br /> predictable time, were often completely disconnected from and out of touch with their jobs as they traveled to and<br /> from work, and were off-duty once they were home. That is no longer true. In today’s highly competitive job market,<br /> employers demand increased productivity, expecting workers to put in longer hours and to keep in touch almost<br /> constantly via fax, cell phones, e-mail, or other communications devices. As a result, employees feel the need to check<br /> in on what is going on at the office, even on days off. They feel pressured to work after hours just to catch up on<br /> everything they have to do. Workers work harder and longer, change their work tasks more frequently, and have more<br /> and more reasons to worry about job security.<br /> Bosses, colleagues, family members, lovers, and friends expect instant responses to voice mail and e-mail<br /> messages. Even college students have become bound to their desks by an environment in which faculty, friends, and<br /> other members of the college community increasingly do their work online. Studies of time spent on instant messaging<br /> services would probably show staggering use.<br /> This is not what technology was supposed to be doing for us. New technologies, from genetic research to the<br /> Internet, offer all sorts of benefits and opportunities. But, when new tools make life more difficult and stressful rather<br /> than easier and more meaningful – and we are, as a society, barely conscious of it – then something has gone seriously<br /> awry, both with our expectations for technology and our understanding of how it should benefit us.<br /> From “Summit 1” by Joan Saslow & Allen Ascher<br /> Question 36: The word “They” in the fourth paragraph refers to______.<br /> A. workers<br /> B. employers<br /> C. employees<br /> D. tasks<br /> Question 37: This passage has probably been taken from______.<br /> A. an advertisement<br /> B. a science review<br /> C. a political journal<br /> D. a fashion magazine<br /> Question 38: Which of the following is NOT true about technological tools, according to new surveys?<br /> A.

We<br /> have a tendency to believe that the production processes are the only source of environmental damage, and often<br /> forget about the possible long-term effects of harmful production practices. We may think that the closure of these<br /> huge industrial areas would improve the quality of the environment. Unfortunately, this ignores the threat of the<br /> remaining waste, which is abandoned and poorly stored. It represents an even bigger danger because it stands<br /> neglected as it degrades and leaks into the earth without any control at all.<br /> Changes in the water chemistry due to surface water contamination can affect all levels of an ecosystem. It can<br /> affect the health of lower food chain organisms and, consequently, the availability of food up through the food chain.<br /> It can damage the health of wetlands and damage their ability to support healthy ecosystems, control flooding, and<br /> filter pollutants from storm water runoff. The health of animals and humans are affected when they drink or bathe in<br /> contaminated water. In addition water-based organisms, like fish and shellfish, can pile up and concentrate<br /> contaminants in their bodies. When other animals or humans eat these organisms, they receive a much higher dose of<br /> contaminant than they would have if they had been directly exposed to the original contamination.<br /> Contaminated groundwater can badly affect animals, plants and humans if it is removed from the ground by<br /> manmade or natural processes. Depending on the study of rocks of the area, groundwater may rise to the surface<br /> through springs or seeps, flow sideways into nearby rivers, streams, or ponds, or sink deeper into the earth. In many<br /> parts of the world, groundwater is pumped out of the ground to be used for drinking, bathing, other household uses,<br /> agriculture, and industry<br /> Contaminants in the soil can harm plants when they take up the contamination through their roots. Eating,<br /> breathing in, or touching contaminated soil, as well as eating plants or animals that have piled up soil contaminants<br /> can badly affect the health of humans and animals.<br /> Air pollution can cause breathing-related problems and other bad health effects as contaminants are absorbed from<br /> the lungs into other parts of the body. Certain air contaminants can also harm animals and humans when they contact<br /> the skin. Plants rely on breathing for their growth and can also be affected by exposure to contaminants moved in the<br /> air.<br /> (Source: Adapted from http://www.grid.unep.ch/waste/download/waste1213.pdf)<br /> Question 43: The word “it” in the first paragraph refers to ________.<br /> A. the environment<br /> B. the remaining waste<br /> C. the threat of the remaining waste<br /> D. a danger<br /> Question 44: According to the passage, which of the followings supports healthy ecosystems?<br /> A.
