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.

        Whales have been being hunted for hundreds of years with numbers reaching an all-time low in the 1930s when over 50,000 were killed each year. While conservation efforts and bans on whaling have helped, the gentle sea giants still face dangers such as ship strikes, fishing nets and the overall increase in ocean temperatures. Whale biologists think that only a fourth of the planet’s population remains today, with blue whales at as little as 3% of their previous numbers.

        Restoring these incredible sea mammals to their pre-whaling numbers could prove vital to reversing climate change. Scientists at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have calculated the value of a whale at $$2 million each due to the important role they have in reducing the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere. Throughout their life, the animals accumulate carbon in their bodies and then sink to the bottom of the ocean. A great whale, for example, can take nearly 30000kg of CO2 out of the atmosphere for centuries compared to the around 15kg captured by a tree each year.

        It’s not just what they store in their bodies, however. In a unique system that no other animal can reproduce, the waste that whales produce is brought to the surface by their vertical movement and feeds organisms called phytoplankton, which are tiny organisms that capture 40% of CO2 produced and generate 50% of all oxygen. And restoring the number of whales to around 5 million would significantly increase phytoplankton numbers (even a 1% increase in phytoplankton would capture millions of tonnes of additional CO). Whale conservation, therefore, can be a vital tool in battling our increasing carbon emissions.

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.

        With the number of mobile devices in the world increasing at a rapid rate, one may assume the use of gadgets such as tablets and smartphones would have a negative impact on quality time spent between children and parents. Nonetheless, a new study conducted by researchers at the Universities of Oxford and Warwick has discovered this may not be the case.

        According to the study’s findings, which were published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, children are spending more time at home with their parents than they were in 2000. However, the amount of time children and parents spend together doing shared activities such as eating meals or watching television remains largely unchanged.

                For the study, the research team analysed a sample of 5,000 daily diaries written by 2,500 children aged between eight and 16 and their parents, and what they found was that families spent an average of 30 more minutes together per day in the same location in 2015 than they did in 2000, with average overall family time increasing from 347 minutes to 379 minutes. They also added that the amount of time parents and children spend daily on doing shared activities has only slightly altered over the past 15 years, increasing by three minutes.

         “Our analysis has found that the overall family time has extended, but it’s this alone-together time, when children and parents are in the same location but children are reporting that they are alone, which has made up most of the increase,” says Dr Killian Mullan, from the department of sociology at the University of Oxford. “Given this large increase in alone-together time, it is perhaps reassuring that we also found no decline in the amount of time families spent in shared activities between 2000 and 2015. “This suggests that parents still value key aspects of traditional family life, such as family meals or shared hobbies, and seek to prioritise them in the face of pressure from technological change.”

        Dr Stella Chatzitheochari, from the department of sociology at the University of Warwick, explains that the study indicates how use of digital devices has become “embedded into family life”. “It is worth noting that mobile device use may be complementing family activities and also help children and young people build and maintain friendships outside of the home,” she states. However, the sociology professor also believes more research is needed to explore how the quality of interactions between family members is impacted by mobile device use.

                C. Children still spend as much time staying at home as they did in previous years.

DỊCH BÀI ĐỌC

Cá voi đã bị săn bắt trong hàng trăm năm với số lượng đạt mức thấp nhất mọi thời đại vào những năm 1930 khi hơn 50.000 con bị giết mỗi năm. Trong khi những nỗ lực bảo tồn và lệnh cấm săn bắt cá voi đã giúp ích, những sinh vật khổng lồ biển hiền lành vẫn phải đối mặt với những nguy hiểm như đắm tàu, lưới đánh cá và sự gia tăng nhiệt độ đại dương nói chung. Các nhà sinh vật học cá voi nghĩ rằng chỉ một phần tư số lượng trên hành tinh vẫn còn tồn tại đến ngày nay, với cá voi xanh chỉ bằng 3% số lượng trước đây của chúng.

Khôi phục những động vật có vú biển đáng kinh ngạc này về số lượng trước khi săn bắt cá voi có thể chứng minh sự quan trọng để đảo ngược biến đổi khí hậu. Các nhà khoa học tại Quỹ Tiền tệ Quốc tế (IMF) đã tính toán giá trị của một con cá voi ở mức 2 triệu USD mỗi con do vai trò quan trọng của chúng trong việc giảm lượng CO2 trong khí quyển của chúng ta. Trong suốt cuộc đời của chúng, các loài động vật tích tụ carbon trong cơ thể và sau đó chìm xuống đáy đại dương. Ví dụ, một con cá voi lớn có thể lấy gần 30.000kg CO2 ra khỏi khí quyển trong nhiều thế kỷ so với khoảng 15kg bị cây lấy đi mỗi năm.

Tuy nhiên, đó không chỉ là những gì chúng lưu trữ trong cơ thể. Trong một hệ thống độc đáo mà không loài động vật nào khác có thể sinh sản, chất thải mà cá voi tạo ra được đưa lên bề mặt bằng chuyển động thẳng đứng của chúng và nuôi các sinh vật gọi là thực vật phù du, là những sinh vật nhỏ bé thu giữ 40% CO2 được tạo ra và tạo ra 50% tổng lượng oxy. Và việc khôi phục số lượng cá voi lên khoảng 5 triệu con sẽ làm tăng đáng kể số lượng thực vật phù du (thậm chí tăng 1% thực vật phù du sẽ thu được hàng triệu tấn CO bổ sung). Do đó, bảo tồn cá voi có thể là một công cụ quan trọng trong việc chống lại lượng khí thải carbon ngày càng tăng của chúng ta.

Question 10: The word “captured” in paragraph 1 can be best replaced by ___________.

A. arrested                    B. maintained           C. immersed                   D. absorbed

Đáp án: D - Câu hỏi từ vựng

Giải thích: capture (v) bắt giữ; lấy được, chiếm được ~ absorb (v) hấp thu, hấp thụ, lấy vào

- arrest (v) bắt giữ; làm ngưng lại, chặn lại (arrest the spread of the disease); lôi cuốn (sự chú ý)

- maintain (v) duy trì; chu cấp, cưu mang; bảo trì

- immerse (v) nhúng vào => immerse yourself in: đắm chìm trong (suy nghĩ, cảm xúc)

A great whale, for example, can take nearly 30000kg of CO2 out of the atmosphere for centuries compared to the around 15kg captured by a tree each year.

Dịch: Ví dụ, một con cá voi lớn có thể lấy gần 30.000kg CO2 ra khỏi khí quyển trong nhiều thế kỷ so với khoảng 15kg bị cây lấy đi mỗi năm.

Question 11: IMF scientists calculated a whale’s value based on __________.

A. how much oxygen they release into the atmosphere every year        

B. the amount of carbon they store in their bodies during lifetime

C. the important role they play in changing the world’s climate           

D. their significance in the reduction of CO2 in our atmosphere

Đáp án: D - Câu hỏi tìm thông tin

Giải thích: Căn cứ vào đoạn 2: Scientists at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have calculated the value of a whale at $$2 million each due to the important role they have in reducing the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere.

(Các nhà khoa học tại Quỹ Tiền tệ Quốc tế (IMF) đã tính toán giá trị của một con cá voi ở mức 2 triệu USD mỗi con do vai trò quan trọng của chúng trong việc giảm lượng CO2 trong khí quyển của chúng ta.)

=> Chọn đáp án D. (significance ~ important role)

Question 12: Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?

A. Whales can only live healthily if ocean temperatures are at very low levels.

B. Nowadays, only 25 per cent of the planet’s blue whale population remains.

C. A great whale takes much more CO2 out of the atmosphere than a tree does.

D. A rise in the number of phytoplanktons will help restore whale populations.

Đáp án: C - Câu hỏi tìm kiếm thông tin

Giải thích: A. Cá voi chỉ có thể sống khỏe mạnh nếu nhiệt độ nước biển ở mức thấp. (Sai)

Theo thông tin đoạn 1: While conservation efforts and bans on whaling have helped, the gentle sea giants still face dangers such as ship strikes, fishing nets and the overall increase in ocean temperatures. ( Trong khi những nỗ lực bảo tồn và lệnh cấm săn bắt cá voi đã giúp ích, những sinh vật khổng lồ biển hiền lành vẫn phải đối mặt với những nguy hiểm như đắm tàu, lưới đánh cá và sự gia tăng nhiệt độ đại dương nói chung.)

Cho dù nhiệt độ có giảm nhưng chúng vẫn gặp nguy hiểm do đắm tàu và lưới đánh cá.

A. Ngày nay, chỉ còn lại 25% quần thể cá voi xanh trên hành tinh

=> Sai, theo thông tin đoạn 1: Whale biologists think that only a fourth of the planet’s population remains today, with blue whales at as little as 3% of their previous numbers. (Các nhà sinh vật học cá voi nghĩ rằng chỉ một phần tư số lượng trên hành tinh vẫn còn tồn tại đến ngày nay, với cá voi xanh chỉ bằng 3% số lượng trước đây của chúng.) =>Số lượng cá voi xanh còn ít hơn cả 25%.

B. Một con cá voi lớn lấy nhiều CO2 từ không khí hơn một cái cây.

=> Đúng, theo thông tin đoạn 2: A great whale, for example, can take nearly 30000kg of CO2 out of the atmosphere for centuries compared to the around 15kg captured by a tree each year. (Ví dụ, một con cá voi lớn có thể lấy gần 30.000kg CO2 ra khỏi khí quyển trong nhiều thế kỷ so với khoảng 15kg bị cây lấy đi mỗi năm.)

C. Sự tăng số lượng sinh vật phù du sẽ giúp hồi phục quần thể cá voi.

=> Sai, theo thông tin đoạn 3: And restoring the number of whales to around 5 million would significantly increase phytoplankton numbers (even a 1% increase in phytoplankton would capture millions of tonnes of additional CO) (Và việc khôi phục số lượng cá voi lên khoảng 5 triệu con sẽ làm tăng đáng kể số lượng thực vật phù du (thậm chí tăng 1% thực vật phù du sẽ thu được hàng triệu tấn CO bổ sung). ) => Việc khôi phục quần thể cá voi giúp tăng sinh vật phù du.

Question 13: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to __________.

A. whales                  B. changes                C. amounts                D. centuries

Đáp án: A - Câu hỏi quy chiếu

Giải thích:. It’s not just what they store in their bodies, however. => “They” ở đây chỉ “whales”.

Dịch: Tuy nhiên, đó không chỉ là những gì chúng lưu trữ trong cơ thể.
