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 from 64 to 70.
HOW I FOUND MY TRUE VOICE
As an interpreter, Suzanne Glass could speak only for others – but the work provided
terrific material for her first novel.
“No, no, no! You’ve got to get away from this or you’re going to lose it.” The voice
reverberating in my head was my own. I was at an international conference. My throat was
killing me and my headphones were pinching. I had just been interpreting a speaker whose
last words had been: “We must take very seriously the standardization of the length of
cucumbers and the size of tomatoes.” You can’t afford to have your own thoughts when
you’re interpreting simultaneously, so, of course, I missed the speaker’s next sentence and
lost his train of thought. Sitting in a darkened booth at the back of a huge conference hall, I
was thrown. Fortunately, my colleague grabbed my microphone and took over.
This high-pressure, high-output work was not quite the dream profession I had hoped
for. Although I had fun with it in the beginning – occasionally being among the first to hear
of medical and political breakthroughs would be exciting for any 25-year-old – I realized
that this was a job in which I would never be able to find my own voice. I had always
known that words would be my life in one form or another. My mother thought she’d given
birth to an alien when I began to talk at the age of seven months. That momentous day, she
had placed my playpen in the hallway and gone into the bedroom. In imitation of the words
she had repeated to me again and again, I apparently called out towards the bedroom door:
“I see you. I see you.” I was already in training for a career as a professional parrot.
But how mistaken I was to think that international interpreting would be glamorous.
The speaker rarely stops to think that there’s someone at the back of the room, listening to his
words, absorbing their meaning, and converting them into another language at the same time.
Often I was confronted with a droner, a whisperer or a mumbler through my headphones. The
mumblers were the worst. Most of the time, an interpreter is thought of as a machine – a
funnel, a conduit, which, I suppose, is precisely what we are. Sometimes, when those we are
translating for hear us cough or sneeze, or turn round and look at us behind the smoky glass of
the booth, I think they are surprised to see that we are actually alive.
Ironically, part of the secret of interpreting is non-verbal communication. You have
to sense when your partner is tired, and offer to take over. At the same time, you have to be
careful not to cut him short or hog the microphone. Interpreters can be a bit like actors: they
like to show off. You do develop friendships when you are working in such close proximity,
but there’s a huge amount of competitiveness among interpreters. They check on each other
and sometimes even count each other’s mistranslations.
Translating other people’s ideas prevented me from feeling involved and creative as
an interpreter. Actually, you can’t be a creative interpreter. It’s a contradiction in terms.
Sometimes, when I disagreed with a speaker, I wanted to rip off my headphones, jump up
and run out of the booth, shouting: “Rubbish. Rubbish. You’re talking a lot of nonsense, and
this is what I think about it.” Instead, I had to sit there and regurgitate opinions in violent
contradiction with my own. Sometimes, I’d get my revenge by playing games with the
Trang 5/6 - Mã đề thi 203
speaker’s tone of voice. If he was being serious, I’d make him sound jocular. If he was
being light-hearted, I’d make him sound earnest.
Eventually, I wanted to find a career where my own words would matter and where my
own voice would be heard. So, to redress the balance, I decided to write a novel. While I was
writing it, I did go back and interpret at a few conferences to get inside the head of
Dominique, my main character. At first, I was a little rusty and a couple of the delegates
turned round to glare at me, but after twenty minutes, I was back into it, playing that old
game of mental gymnastics. Interpreting is like learning to turn somersaults: you never forget
how to do it. But for me, sitting in the booth had a ghost-like quality to it – as though I had
gone back into a past life – a life that belonged to the time before I found my own voice.
Question 64: In the first paragraph, the writer says she discovered that ______.
A. her mind was wondering when she should have been doing her job
B. the standard of her work as an interpreter was getting worse
C. she would no longer understand subjects she had previously covered
D. there were some subjects she had no interest in dealing with
Question 65: The word “simultaneously” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______. A. once and for all B. once too often C. all at once D. all gain
Question 66: What does the writer say about being an interpreter in the second paragraph?
A. It gave her access to important information before other people.
B. It was the kind of job her parents had always expected her to do.
C. It turned out to be more challenging than she had anticipated.
D. It was what she had wanted to be ever since she was a small child.
Question 67: What does the writer say about speakers she interpreted for?
A. They usually had the wrong idea about the function on interpreters.
B. Some of them had a tendency to get irritated with interpreters.
C. Some of them made little attempt to use their own language correctly.
D. She particularly disliked those she struggled to hear properly.
Question 68: The writer says that when she returned to interpreting, ______.
A. she did not start off very well
B. she briefly wished she had not given it up
C. she thought that two of the delegates recognized her
D. she changed her ideas about the main character in her novel
Question 69: The word “to glare” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to______. A. wonder B. to glower C. to caress D. despise
Question 70: What is the writer’s main point in the article as a whole?
A. It is not always a good idea to go into a profession because it looks glamorous.
B. Most interpreters would actually like to do something more creative.
C. Most interpreters eventually become disillusioned with the work.
D. Being an interpreter did not allow her to satisfy her need to be creative.

Example: Section 1: B 86. Section 2: 87. Section 3: 88. Section 4: 89. Section 5: 90. Section 6:
From Black Box to Blue Box Section 1
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has just held its
annual meeting. One highlight was a session on new techniques for tracking marine animals.
Making a living as a fisherman has never been easy. With the continual decline in fish
stocks currently under way, it is becoming an even harder way to grind out a living. And it is
not only fish that are disappearing, but marine fauna generally. In the past 20 years, for example,
90% of leatherback turtles and large predatory fish, such as sharks, have disappeared. Section 2
Where and how this is happening has been difficult to say, since the ocean is something
of a black box. Things go in, and things come out, but what happens in between is hard to
unravel. According to researchers presenting their work at the AAAS meeting in Seattle,
Washington, this is now changing. Today, when many marine biologists swig their morning
coffee and download their messages, they receive special e-mails from their research subjects.
These messages, relayed by a satellite, tell them exactly where their animals have been. This
Đề Tiếng Anh – Chuyên Anh – Trang 2/4
has been made possible thanks to advances in underwater electronic tagging, and it is causing
a revolution in marine biology.
One of the leading researchers in oceanic tagging is Barbara Block of Hopkins Marine
Station in Pacific Grove, California. She tags bluefin tuna, which are commercially valuable
animals that can reach 680 kg (1,500lb) in weight, and swim at speeds of up to 80kph
(50mph). So far, her group has tagged around 700 bluefin. Many of the tags are surgically
implanted, a tricky thing to do while on board a moving boat. These tags archive their data in
memory chips, and are eventually recovered when a fish is caught and butchered. (The tags
carry a healthy reward). Other tags, though, are fastened to the outside of a fish, and pop off
at a pre-programmed time and date. They then broadcast their results to a satellite. Dr. Block’s
work has shown that blue-fin can migrate thousands of kilometres across the Atlantic,
ignoring boundaries that have been set to protect stocks in the western Atlantic. Section 3
Tagging is also helping David Welch, head of the Canadian government’s salmon
programme, to find out where and why large numbers of the fish are vanishing. He uses small
acoustic tags (the size of a large multivitamin capsule) that are sewn into the body cavities of
salmon. These tags broadcast their signals to microphones on the seabed.
Dr. Welch can now track where an individual salmon spends its life and watch trends
in an entire population. He was surprised to find that most salmon do not die as they leave the
river and enter the sea, as previously believed. And he is finding that climatic fluctuations
play an important role in determining population.
Dr. Welch and his colleagues are planning to install a system of microphones stretching
from the coast of Washington State to southeastern Alaska. This could follow the movements
of some 250,000 fish – collecting data on their direction of travel, speed, depth and position.
If that works, the plan is to extend the system from Baja California in Mexico to the Bering
Sea – a project that would involve about 1,000 underwater tracking stations. Section 4
Meanwhile, Andrew Read, a marine biologist at Duke University in North Carolina, is
following 45 tagged loggerhead turtles. These animals must come to the surface to breathe. When
they do so, the tags (which are glued to their shells) talk to the nearest convenient satellite.
Dr. Read told the meeting that the tracking data he collects are now available online,
to allow fishermen to follow the movements of turtles and, if they wish, to modify the
deployment of their nets accordingly. Bill Foster, a fisherman from Hatteras, North Carolina,
and Dr. Read, proposed the project because the Pamlico Sound near Hatteras was closed to
large-mesh gill nets (which are dragged behind a boat like a curtain) for four months a year
because too many turtles were being caught by accident. Now, the fishermen are helping the
researchers, and attaching tags to healthy turtles that are accidentally caught in their nets. Section 5
Together, all this work is beginning to fill in the map of marine ‘high ways’ used by
particular species, and their preferred habitats. It is also showing where particular animals
prefer to stay close to the surface, and where they prefer deeper waters. As in the case of Dr.
Read’s turtles, this is helping scientists to devise ways of protecting rare species in an efficient
manner, without interfering too much with the exploitation of common ones.
Đề Tiếng Anh – Chuyên Anh – Trang 3/4
Larry Crowder, also at Duke University, has overlaid maps of marine highways for
loggerhead and leatherback turtles in the Pacific onto those of ‘longline’ fisheries, in which
people catch prey on fishing lines that are several kilometres long. Turtles often take the bait on
the hooks that these lines carry. Dr. Crowder wants to identify the places of greatest danger to
these turtles, in the hope that such places will be considered for protection. This need not, he says,
mean a ban on fishing, but rather the use of different hooks, and other sorts of gear that are less
damaging to turtles. It also turns out that turtles spend 90% of their time within 40 metres of the
surface, so setting hooks deeper than this would reduce the chance of catching them accidentally. Section 6
Conservationists are now pushing the notion of ‘ocean zoning’. Like the land, parts of
the sea – such as turtle highways – would be defined as sensitive, and subject to restrictions
on how extractive industries operate. If this idea is ever to work, tagging data will be crucial.
And because tagging data come in continually, this could mean that sensitive areas in the
ocean could be flexible, changing in both time and space. Enforcing such zones might be
difficult. But it would help fish, and other marine fauna, breathe a bit easier. And careful
management might leave the fishermen on top as well.

Experts say that if you feel drowsy during the day, even during boring activities, you
haven’t had (76) ______ sleep. If you routinely fall asleep within five minutes of lying down,
you probably have severe sleep deprivation, possibly even a sleep disorder. Microsleeps, or
very brief episodes of sleep in an otherwise awake person, are another mark of sleep
deprivation. In many cases, people are not aware that they are experiencing (77)______. The
widespread practice of “burning the candle at both ends” in Western industrialized societies
has (78) ______ so much sleep deprivation that what is really abnormal sleepiness is now almost the norm.
Many studies (79) ______ it clear that sleep deprivation is dangerous. Sleep-deprived
people who are tested by using a driving simulator or by performing a hand-eye coordination
task perform as badly as or worse than those (80) ______ are intoxicated. Sleep deprivation
also magnifies alcohol’s effects (81) ______ the body, so as fatigued person who drinks will
become (82) ______ more impaired than someone who is well rested. Driver fatigue is
responsible for an estimated 100,000 motor vehicle accidents and 1,500 deaths each year,
according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Since (83) ______ is the
brain’s last step before falling asleep, driving while drowsy can – and often does – lead to

disaster. Caffeine and other stimulants cannot overcome the (84) ______ of severe sleep
deprivation. The National Sleep Foundation says that if you have trouble keeping your eyes
focused, if you cannot stop yawning, or if you can’t remember (85) ______ the last few miles,
you are probably too drowsy to drive safely. 76. enough 77. microsleeps 78. created 79. make 80. who 81. on 82. much/far 83. drowsiness 84. effects 85. driving

From Black Box to Blue Box Section 1
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has just held its
annual meeting. One highlight was a session on new techniques for tracking marine animals.
Making a living as a fisherman has never been easy. With the continual decline in fish
stocks currently under way, it is becoming an even harder way to grind out a living. And it is
not only fish that are disappearing, but marine fauna generally. In the past 20 years, for example,
90% of leatherback turtles and large predatory fish, such as sharks, have disappeared. Section 2
Where and how this is happening has been difficult to say, since the ocean is something
of a black box. Things go in, and things come out, but what happens in between is hard to
unravel. According to researchers presenting their work at the AAAS meeting in Seattle,
Washington, this is now changing. Today, when many marine biologists swig their morning
coffee and download their messages, they receive special e-mails from their research subjects.
These messages, relayed by a satellite, tell them exactly where their animals have been. This

has been made possible thanks to advances in underwater electronic tagging, and it is causing
a revolution in marine biology.
One of the leading researchers in oceanic tagging is Barbara Block of Hopkins Marine
Station in Pacific Grove, California. She tags bluefin tuna, which are commercially valuable
animals that can reach 680 kg (1,500lb) in weight, and swim at speeds of up to 80kph
(50mph). So far, her group has tagged around 700 bluefin. Many of the tags are surgically
implanted, a tricky thing to do while on board a moving boat. These tags archive their data in
memory chips, and are eventually recovered when a fish is caught and butchered. (The tags
carry a healthy reward). Other tags, though, are fastened to the outside of a fish, and pop off
at a pre-programmed time and date. They then broadcast their results to a satellite. Dr. Block’s
work has shown that blue-fin can migrate thousands of kilometres across the Atlantic,
ignoring boundaries that have been set to protect stocks in the western Atlantic. Section 3
Tagging is also helping David Welch, head of the Canadian government’s salmon
programme, to find out where and why large numbers of the fish are vanishing. He uses small
acoustic tags (the size of a large multivitamin capsule) that are sewn into the body cavities of
salmon. These tags broadcast their signals to microphones on the seabed.
Dr. Welch can now track where an individual salmon spends its life and watch trends
in an entire population. He was surprised to find that most salmon do not die as they leave the
river and enter the sea, as previously believed. And he is finding that climatic fluctuations
play an important role in determining population.
Dr. Welch and his colleagues are planning to install a system of microphones stretching
from the coast of Washington State to southeastern Alaska. This could follow the movements
of some 250,000 fish – collecting data on their direction of travel, speed, depth and position.
If that works, the plan is to extend the system from Baja California in Mexico to the Bering
Sea – a project that would involve about 1,000 underwater tracking stations. Section 4
Meanwhile, Andrew Read, a marine biologist at Duke University in North Carolina, is
following 45 tagged loggerhead turtles. These animals must come to the surface to breathe. When
they do so, the tags (which are glued to their shells) talk to the nearest convenient satellite.
Dr. Read told the meeting that the tracking data he collects are now available online,
to allow fishermen to follow the movements of turtles and, if they wish, to modify the
deployment of their nets accordingly. Bill Foster, a fisherman from Hatteras, North Carolina,
and Dr. Read, proposed the project because the Pamlico Sound near Hatteras was closed to
large-mesh gill nets (which are dragged behind a boat like a curtain) for four months a year
because too many turtles were being caught by accident. Now, the fishermen are helping the
researchers, and attaching tags to healthy turtles that are accidentally caught in their nets. Section 5
Together, all this work is beginning to fill in the map of marine ‘high ways’ used by
particular species, and their preferred habitats. It is also showing where particular animals
prefer to stay close to the surface, and where they prefer deeper waters. As in the case of Dr.
Read’s turtles, this is helping scientists to devise ways of protecting rare species in an efficient
manner, without interfering too much with the exploitation of common ones.

Larry Crowder, also at Duke University, has overlaid maps of marine highways for
loggerhead and leatherback turtles in the Pacific onto those of ‘longline’ fisheries, in which
people catch prey on fishing lines that are several kilometres long. Turtles often take the bait on
the hooks that these lines carry. Dr. Crowder wants to identify the places of greatest danger to
these turtles, in the hope that such places will be considered for protection. This need not, he says,
mean a ban on fishing, but rather the use of different hooks, and other sorts of gear that are less
damaging to turtles. It also turns out that turtles spend 90% of their time within 40 metres of the
surface, so setting hooks deeper than this would reduce the chance of catching them accidentally. Section 6
Conservationists are now pushing the notion of ‘ocean zoning’. Like the land, parts of
the sea – such as turtle highways – would be defined as sensitive, and subject to restrictions
on how extractive industries operate. If this idea is ever to work, tagging data will be crucial.
And because tagging data come in continually, this could mean that sensitive areas in the
ocean could be flexible, changing in both time and space. Enforcing such zones might be
difficult. But it would help fish, and other marine fauna, breathe a bit easier. And careful
management might leave the fishermen on top as well.
