VI. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
As computer use becomes more common, the need for security is more important than
ever. One of the greatest security threats in the online world is computer hacking. Computer
hacking is the unauthorized access to a computer or network of computers. Hackers are
people who illegally enter systems. They may alter or delete information, steal private
information, or spread viruses that can damage or destroy files. But how exactly can a
hacker get into a system to do these things?
Most hackers use information called protocols that are built into computer software.
These protocols allow computers to interact with one another. Protocols are sort of like
computer police officers. When a computer connects to another system, the protocols check
to see if the access is valid. The protocols can also determine how much information can be
shared between the two systems. Hackers can manipulate the protocols to get unlimited
access to a computer system.
In fact, just the act of entering a computer network is considered hacking. This is
commonly called passive hacking. Passive hackers get a rush from just being able to access a
challenging system like a bank or military network. Another kind of hacker tries to do
damage to a system. After hacking into systems, these hackers release viruses or alter,
delete, or take information. Known as active hackers, they are, by far, the more dangerous of
the two.
The easiest way to protect a system is with a good password. Long and unusual
passwords are harder for hackers to guess. For even greater security, some online services
now use "password plus" systems. In this case, users first put in a password and then put in
a second code that changes after the user accesses the site. Users either have special cards or
devices that show them the new code to use the next time. Even if a hacker steals the
password, they won't have the code. Or if the hacker somehow gets the code, they still don't
know the password.
( Adapted from Reading Challenge 2 by Casey Malarcher and Andrea Janzen)
Question 31 [274566]: Which of the following could best describe the main idea of the

A. Computer security and hackers
B. Different types of hackers
C. What a hacker can damage your computer
D. The way hackers access a computer
Question 32 [274567]: The word “ unauthorized” in paragraph 1 mostly means.
A. optional B. illegal C. permissible D. compulsory
Question 33 [274568]: According to paragraph 2, which information is NOT true about
protocols?
A. Protocols built in computer software enable interaction between computers.
B. Protocols examine the validity of the access from other computers.
C. The amount of shared information between computers depends on the host computer
D. Protocols can decide the amount of information shared between computers.

MUSIC AT SCHOOL
With popular music as with classical music, the only way to come to understand it
thoroughly, it is said, is by performing it. The problem with many pop bands is that their
members are self – taught and, consequently, if ever they reach the level of public
performance, they often only succeed in perpetuating the musical conventions to which they

have been exposed. The days when a group of raw, talented musicians could get together
and work their way through to a distinctive sound, constantly improving their technique in
the process, seem to be gone.
There may still be talents around of the order of a Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton, able to
acquire prodigious technique mainly by themselves, but the motivation - the sense that
there is still something urgent to say within the medium- has largely evaporated. So much so
that most aspiring young musicians are increasingly content to play their own versions of
other people's tunes.
So what role, if any, does music teaching in school have to play? The current fashion in
musical education in Britain dictates that young children must be creative and active, whilst
the playing of recorded music to children has been made to seem like an easy option for lazy
teachers. With many years of experience behind me as a musician and teacher, however, I
feel strongly that listening to music is actually a crucial component in any musical education.
The arguments put forward by music educators are usually a reaction to what they see
as a habit of uncritical listening induced by pop music. But in response to this, I fear, rather
simplistic view, a couple of points need making. The first is that classical music is also
listened to uncritically. I well remember a head teacher (who incidentally was always
complaining that her students' homework suffered as a result of their being distracted by
popular music) sharing with me her delight over the new home hi-fi system she had
acquired. Mozart, she said, eased the burden of writing hundreds of student reports
enormously. Within a few weeks of our conversation, however, she had banned herself from
using the system whilst working, so inaccurate had her report writing become.
The second is that the aural awareness of the average listener to classical music - and I
am afraid that includes a lot of music teachers - is also severely under-developed. Really
discriminating listeners cannot tolerate music as a background to any activity that requires
their concentration. Because they are mentally processing every note, they cannot shut the
music out in order to perform any other tasks.
What's more, if musical performance, recorded or live, is to have an impact on the
young, it is not going to be because it has been suitably prepared for creative exploration.
More likely, it will be because a particular piece of music is able to move those pupils who
are susceptible to such motivation by its irrational, primeval power. That is why it is so
important that children should encounter the real world of music - preferably live as well as
recorded - on as much variety as possible. Live music also provides an opportunity for
educational visits which, rather like holidays, provide not only a useful psychological break
from school routine, but also serve to broaden young people's horizons.
Moreover if children need plenty of exposure to a variety of musical forms, it follows
that we should not make, or allow children to make, any value judgements about which form
is 'superior'. The fact is, popular and classical music represent different ways of life, in the
sense of different views of culture and the values associated with it - and this despite the
efforts of so many trained musicians to bridge the gap. It is there important that education
should recognize the existence of this gap and subject it to some scrutiny, rather than

14

pretend that it does not exist, or plump solely for one side or the other. Given the customary
classical training of music teachers, and the general pop-orientated musical preferences of
children, there is usually an intrinsic wariness between class and teacher: an unstated need
for a kind of negotiated settlement. As with any negotiation, the start should be with areas of
agreement rather than disagreement

1 Although the plane is the fastest mean of transport, the idea of travelling by
2 plane does not appeal for everyone because of the frequent delays. It is
3 extremely frustrating when you allow yourself little of time to get to the airport
4 and- once there - it is brought to your attendance that there is a problem with
5 your flight. The staffs at the check-in are trying to convince you that it won't be
6 long before the problem solves. Yet, hours later you feel let down, as you

8 something by complaining. By this stage, you realise you are going to miss

Read the following passage and do the tasks below.

MOBILE PHONES AND DRIVING
0. Paragraph A: __________
Though once perceived a luxury cell phones have become a common possession over
the last ten years or so. Due to modern day technology and public demand cell phones have
been made affordable to most. However, one of the most controversial topics of today is
whether or not we should be using our cell phones whilst driving. Does it pose a danger to
ourselves and other drivers? Or doesn't it make any difference to the likelihood of an
accident.
1. Paragraph B:
Several countries around the world have already imposed a national Jaw with heavy
infringements. More recently the UK, Australia and Finland have joined the ranks of
countries opposing this very hazardous act, with Ireland imposing the harshest penalties on
the continent (a third offence can mean 3 months imprisonment). Also in Europe, the
Netherlands is fining offenders 2000 Euros and 2 weeks in jail.
2. Paragraph C:
This dangerous distraction contributes largely to motor vehicle accidents and the
statistics are increasing daily as we continue to take our eyes off the road to call or even
more dangerously text. Research by road safety groups suggests speaking on a phone whilst
driving increases your chances of an accident, increasing to nine times more likely when
texting. Time and again, in study after study replicated across the world, the use of a cell
phone by the driver has been proven, beyond any sense of reasonable doubt, to dramatically
increase the probability of a motor vehicle crash.
3. Paragraph D:
In New Zealand, a proposal made by a previous Labour led Government suggests a $50
fine and 27 demerit points for any person using a cell phone whilst driving, although the
Ministry of Transport is still preparing a report based on public consultation. Although this
is only a pending idea, the government knows this will be a difficult infringement to police
but a start needs to be made and people need to understand the consequences of what
potentially could happen. It is a common misconception that hands free kits are safe to use,
but research conducted by Waikato University has proven that these can be equally as
dangerous as hand held phones.
4. Paragraph E:
On one hand, using a cell phone whilst driving has become an integral part of our lives
and is going to be a hard habit to kick. But it has been proven that our reaction time is never
fast enough when confronted with a road hazard, but if you are having a conversation at the
same time it will slow your reaction time by even more. Most people find it takes 2 and a half
seconds to react in a dangerous situation but if you are on the phone you can add another 2
seconds onto that. Your attention is divided; part of you concentrates on your conversation,
the other on driving. The demands of die conversation and the road are competing, therefore
making it a cognitive distraction as well as physical as you are removing one hand from the
steering wheel to hold the phone. On the other hand, an American radio host suggested that
18
 Sách ID Khóa ôn thi vào chuyên - GIẢI ĐỀ 2023
Một cuộc cách mạng sách

banning cell phones whist driving was taking it a step too far, "if we ban cell phones, what's
next? No billboards, coffee drinking, or CD players?” The host agreed that texting whilst
driving was a danger but phoning was not.
5. Paragraph F:
Many people agreed with him in saying that texting was a definite hazard as the act of
looking down would lead your eyes off the road. However, doesn't holding a conversation
while driving seems just as distracting as eating food or reaching for a CD? Accidents were
happening decades before the cell phone was introduced so should we be taking this matter
so seriously?
6. Paragraph G:
Obviously opinions will differ on this matter, and it will always remain a debatable
issue. A long list of countries seems to be following the trend and imposing a law against cell
phones on the road, but there is still and even longer list yet to follow. Lack of data leaves
uncertain results but it seems research is ongoing and surveys and tests are being carried
out on a regular basis to reach some kind of conclusion as to just how dangerous and
potentially fatal this habit may be.

paragraphs B-G from the list of headings below.
