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

It is not surprising that the birthplace of cola was the hot and humid American South. This region had long specialized in creating delicious soft drinks. A druggist in Atlanta, Georgia named John Pemberton created the most well–known drink brand in the world in the 1880s. However, it seems clear that he had no idea how big it would become.

Like many American pharmacists of the day, Pemberton was opposed to the drinking of alcohol and wanted to produce a stimulating soft drink. First, he made "the French Wine of Coca," made from the coca leaf. Then he began to experiment with the cola nut. Eventually, he managed to make a combination of the two that he thought was sweet, but not too sweet. Deciding that "the two C's would look well in advertising," he named it Coca–Cola.

Pemberton's invention caught on fairly quickly. By 1905, "Coke" was being advertised all over the country as "The Great Natural Temperance Drink." The drink enjoyed additional success since there was a large and popular temperance movement in the US at that time. In the 1920s, alcohol was outlawed, and sales of Coke rose significantly. However, they continued to rise even after the law was repeated.

Another reason for Coke's popularity was good business sense. A year after he invented it, Pemberton had sold Coca–Cola to Asa Griggs Candler for only $$283.26! Candler was a marketing genius, and by the time he sold the Coca–Cola Company in1919, it was worth $$25 million.

     A. he produced stimulating alcohol from coca leaves and cola nuts

     B. he made “French wine of Coca” from the cola nut

     C. he made “French wine of Coca” from the coca leaf

     D. he combined the coca leaf and cola nut to make “French wine”

13. In paragraph 2, the word “that” refers to __________.

     A. the combination            B. the coca leaf                  C. the experiment              D. the cola nut

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

It is estimated that by 2050 more than two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities, up from about 54 percent today. While the many benefits of organized and efficient cities are well understood, we need to recognize that this rapid, often unplanned urbanization brings risks of profound social instability, risks to critical infrastructure, potential water crises and the potential for devastating spread of disease. These risks can only be further exacerbated as this unprecedented transition from rural to urban areas continues.

How effectively these risks can be addressed will increasingly be determined by how well cities are governed. The increased concentration of people, physical assets, infrastructure and economic activities mean that the risks materializing at the city level will have far greater potential to disrupt society than ever before.

Urbanization is by no means bad by itself. It brings important benefits for economic, cultural and societal development. Well managed cities are both efficient and effective, enabling economies of scale and network effects while reducing the impact on the climate of transportation. As such, an urban model can make economic activity more environmentally-friendly. Further, the proximity and diversity of people can spark innovation and create employment as exchanging ideas breeds new ideas.

But these utopian concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization. For example, one of the main factors is rural-urban migration, driven by the prospect of greater employment opportunities and the hope of a better life in cities. But rapidly increasing population density can create severe problems, especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to cope with the influx of new inhabitants. The result may, in extreme cases, be widespread poverty. Estimates suggest that 40% of the world's urban expansion is taking place in slums, exacerbating socio-economic disparities and creating unsanitary conditions that facilitate the spread of disease.

The Global Risks 2015 Report looks at four areas that face particularly daunting challenges in the face of rapid and unplanned urbanization: infrastructure, health, climate change, and social instability. In each of these areas we find new risks that can best be managed or, in some cases, transferred through the mechanism of insurance.

40. The word “that" in paragraph 4 refers to________.

     A. unsanitary conditions                                              B. disease

     C. urban expansion                                                      D. socio-economic disparities

41. The word “spark” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to_______.

     A. design                           B. need                              C. start                               D. encourage

42. Which statement is TRUE, according to the passage?

     A. 54% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050.

     B. Rapidly increasing population density can help solve poverty.

     C. Urbanization brings important benefits for development as well.

     D. Risks cannot be addressed effectively no matter how well cities are governed.

43. Which is the most suitable title for the passage?

     A. The Risks of Rapid Urbanization in Developing Countries

     B. The Global Risks 2015 Report on Developing Urban Areas

     C. Rapid Urbanization Put Cities in Jeopardy

     D. Infrastructure and Economic Activities in Cities

44. According to paragraph 3, what is one of the advantages of urbanization?

     A. People may come up with new ideas for innovation.

     B.Weather and climate in the city will be much improved.

     C. It minimizes risks for economic, cultural and societal development.

     D. It makes water supply system both efficient and effective.

45. What can be inferred from the passage?

     A. Diseases are caused by people migrating to cities.

     B. Poverty may be a foregone conclusion of unplanned urbanization.

     C. The increasing number of people in cities can create more employment.

     D. Urbanization can solve the problem of environmental pollution in cities.

Không có gì ngạc nhiên khi quê hương của cola là vùng đất Nam Mỹ nóng và ẩm. Khu vực này từ lâu đã chuyên tạo ra những loại nước ngọt có ga thơm ngon. Một dược sư từ ở Atlanta ở Georgia có tên là John Pemberton đã tạo ra nhãn hiệu đồ uống nổi tiếng nhất thế giới trong những năm 1880. Tuy nhiên, rõ ràng ông không hề biết nó sẽ trở nên to lớn đến mức nào.

Như nhiều dược sĩ Hoa Kỳ khác lúc bấy giờ, Pemberton phản đối việc uống rượu và muốn sản xuất một loại nước ngọt gây sảng khoái. Đầu tiên, ông tạo ra “Rượu Coca Pháp”, làm từ lá cây coca. Sau đó ông bắt đầu thí nghiệm với hạt cola. Dần dần, ông thành công kết hợp cả hai mà ông nghĩ là ngọt, nhưng không quá ngọt. Cho rằng “hai chữ C sẽ hợp nhau trong quảng cáo”, ông đặt tên nó là Coca-Cola.

Phát minh của Pemberton đã nổi tiếng khá nhanh. Đến năm 1905, “Coke” được quảng cáo khắp cả nước như là “Thức uống ôn hòa tự nhiên tuyệt vời”. Thức uống đó đã càng thành công hơn kể từ khi một phong trào chống tiêu thụ đồ uống có cồn lớn và phổ biến diễn ra ở Mỹ vào thời điểm lúc bấy giờ. Vào những năm 1920, rượu bị cấm, và doanh số của Coke tăng nhanh đáng kể. Tuy nhiên, chúng vẫn tiếp tục gia tăng thậm chí sau khi luật được sửa đổi.

Một lý do khác cho sự nổi tiếng của Coke chính là phán đoán kinh doanh tốt. Một năm sau khi phát minh ra nó, Pemberton đã bán Coca-Cola cho Asa Griggs Candler chỉ với giá 283.26$$! Candler là một thiên tài marketing, và đến khi ông bán công ty Coca-Cola vào năm 1919, nó được định giá 25 triệu đô.

Steven Paul Jobs was an American entrepreneur, industrial designer, business magnate, media proprietor, and investor. Jobs was born in San Francisco to a Syrian father and German-American mother. He was adopted shortly after his birth. Jobs attended Reed College in 1972 before withdrawing that same year. In 1974, he traveled through India seeking enlightenment and studying Zen Buddhism.

In 1985, Jobs was forced out of Apple after a long power struggle with the company's board and its then-CEO, John Sculley. That same year, Jobs took a few Apple employees with him to found NeXT, a computer platform development company that specialized in computers for higher-education and business markets. In addition, he helped to develop the visual effects industry when he funded the computer graphics division of George Lucas's Lucasfilm in 1986. The new company was Pixar, which produced the first 3D computer-animated feature film Toy Story (1995) and went on to become a major animation studio, producing over 25 films since. In 1997, Jobs returned to Apple as CEO after the company's acquisition of NeXT. He was largely responsible for reviving Apple, which was on the verge of bankruptcy.

 

Steven Paul Jobs là một nhà khởi nghiệp, nhà thiết kế công nghiệp, ông trùm kinh doanh, chủ sở hữu phương tiện truyền thông, và nhà đầu tư người Mỹ. Jobs sinh ra ở San Francisco với cha là người Syria và mẹ là người Mỹ gốc Đức. Ông đã được nhận nuôi ngay sau khi sinh ra. Jobs đã theo học tại Reed College vào năm 1972 trước khi rời trường vào cùng năm đó. Năm 1974, ông đã đi khắp Ấn Độ để tìm kiếm sự giác ngộ và nghiên cứu về Thiền Tông.

 Vào năm 1985, Jobs bị đuổi khỏi Apple sau một thời gian dài tranh giành quyền lực với hội đồng quản trị của công ty và CEO khi đó, John Sculley. Cùng năm đó, Jobs đã cùng vài nhân viên Apple thành lập NeXT, một công ty phát triển nền tảng máy tính chuyên về máy tính cho giáo dục đại học và thị trường kinh doanh. Ngoài ra, ông cũng giúp phát triển ngành công nghiệp hiệu ứng hình ảnh khi ông tài trợ cho bộ phận đồ họa máy tính của George Lucas's Lucasfilm vào năm 1986. Công ty mới chính là Pixar, công ty sản xuất phim hoạt hình máy tính 3D đầu tiên Toy Story (1995) và tiếp tục trở thành một xưởng phim hoạt hình lớn, sản xuất hơn 25 bộ phim kể từ đó. Vào năm 1997, Jobs đã quay lại Apple với vai trò CEO sau khi công ty mua lại NeXT. Ông có công rất lớn trong việc hồi sinh Apple, công ty đang trên bờ vực phá sản.
