V. READING COMPREHENSION (10pts): Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each question. Passage 1 (5pts)
An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to
the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials
adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change.
When the first air population laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air
pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry from the
extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and
knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants
has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.
Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide,
and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these
pollutants was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in
biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds
to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature’s output of these
compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities.
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such
a region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural
purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an increased concentration of noxious
chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater
than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The
actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical
value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the
concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has
detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural
level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.
41. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The economic impact of air pollution.
B. What constitutes an air pollutant.
C. How much harm air pollutants can cause.
D. The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere.

Đáp án và thang điểm câu 50: (1pt) D Passage 2 (5pts)
Over the last century the world has become increasingly smaller. Not geographically,
of course, but in the sense that media, technology and the opening of borders has enabled the
world’s citizens to view, share and gain access to a much wider range of cultures, societies
and world views. In this melting pot that the world has become, today’s child is privy to
facets of the human experience that his immediate predecessors had no inkling even existed. It
stands to reason that in order to absorb, configure and finally form opinions about this
information-laden planet, children must be supplied with certain tools. Included in this list of
“tools” are: education, social skills, cultural awareness and the acquisition of languages, the
most important of these being the latter. Until recently, a child who had the ability to speak
more than one language would have been considered a very rare entity. This one-language
phenomenon could be attributed to a combination of factors. Firstly, the monolingual
environment in which a child was raised played a strong role, as did the limited, biased
education of the past. With regard to immigrants, the sad fact was that non-native parents
tended to withhold the teaching of the mother tongue so that the child would acquire the
“more prestigious” language of the adopted country.
Nowadays, the situation has undergone an almost complete reversal. In the majority of
North American and European countries, most children are given the opportunity to learn a
second or even a third language. Children acquire these foreign languages through various
and diverse means. In many countries, learning a foreign language is a compulsory subject in
the state school curriculum. Other children rely on language schools or private tuition to
achieve their goal. In other instances, children are born to bilingual parents, who, if they so
desire, may teach the children two languages.
Bringing up one’s child bilingually is not a decision to be taken lightly. Both parents
must consider long and hard the implications involved in raising a child in a two-language
home. This decision is one of those all-important choices which will affect not only the
parents’ lives but also the life of the child. Raising a child bilingually has a two-fold effect.
Firstly, of course, the child learns the two languages of the parents. Secondly, the parents’
decision will influence factors which will have a far-reaching effect on the child’s life. Some
of these factors include: style and place of education; diameter of social circle; employment
potential and preference; and, most importantly, the way in which the child views himself and his global environment.
One of the more advantageous by-products of being a member of a bilingual family is
the inherent awareness of two different cultures. This bicultural child inherits a wealth of
knowledge brought about by an exposure to: historical backgrounds; traditional songs and
folklore; rituals of marriage; models of social interaction; and therefore, two varying
interpretations of the world. The monolingual child seems to be at a disadvantage in
comparison to the bilingual child, who has a set of languages and an accompanying set of
abstract cultural ideas. Practically speaking, when a child comes from a two-language family,
he must be taught both languages in order to communicate with the extended family
members. When, for example, the grandparents speak a language which differs from that of
the child’s locale, a monolingual child would be deprived of the interaction which occurs
between grandparents and grandchildren. On the other hand, a bilingual child will not only be
able to speak to grandparents, but will also comprehend where these people have ‘come
from’. There will be a shared cultural empathy within the family. Because all family members
can communicate, on both a verbal and cultural level, no one will feel excluded and the child
will develop a sense of rootedness.
On a more abstract level, it has been said that a bilingual child thinks differently from
a monolingual child. Current research in linguistics indicates that there may be a strong
correlation between bilingualism and cognitive skills. This new research concerns itself with
the fact that a bilingual child has two lexical structures for any given physical or abstract
entity. This leads logically to the assumption that the child also has two associations for many
words, as a word can mean different things in different languages. For example, the word
‘fire’ in many western hemisphere languages connotes warmth and relaxation. In the Inuit
language however, where fire is a necessity of life, it may connote heat and survival. For the
bilingual child, then, vocabulary items and the abstract idea behind them are both dual in
nature and more elastic. Researchers maintain that this elasticity of ideas may allow the child
to think more flexibly and, therefore, more creatively.
