VI. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
By the year 2025, the Earth could lose as many as one fifth of all species known to
exist today. In recent centuries, hundreds of species have disappeared, almost always as a
result of human activities. The passenger pigeon, one familiar example, was a source of
food until excessive hunting and habitat loss caused its extinction in 1914. The North
American bison, whose populations were decimated by settlers and market hunters in the
1800s, came close to sharing the same fate. Bison survive today only because of the
efforts of early conservationists.
Today, species /require/ such efforts [more urgently than ever]. /An essential task
that falls to present-day conservationists is to determine which species are most
endangered, so that conservation resources can be applied where action is needed most.
/Species are categorized by the degree to which their survival in the wild is threatened.
/World Wildlife Fund offers a sampling of animals and plants that fall mainly within the
two most serious categories of threat: critically endangered and endangered. /What
threatens these species' existence? Some of the top threats are habitat destruction by
unsustainable logging and ever-encroaching human settlement; pollution of water, soil,
and air by toxic chemicals; unnatural climate changes due to fossil fuel use; unmanaged
fishing that exhausts fish stocks; and illegal hunting to supply the demand for skins, hides,
traditional medicines, food, and tourist souvenirs. The list which conservationists presents
only a fraction of the species at risk of extinction today and does not include thousands of
species whose status we do not yet know. Hundreds of species without common names

have been left out, which means that while many mammals are on this list, only a few
insects and mollusks are included.

Species listed here range from the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, to the
majestic tiger, to the humble thick-shell pond snail. Large or small, beautiful or ugly, all
species play a role in the complex circle of life. All of us depend on the natural resources
of our planet. Each time a species is lost, the complexity, natural balance, and beauty of
our world is diminished. And what threatens plants and animals ultimately threatens
people as well.

to give your money away.
Many How-to books give advice on careers. They tell you how to choose a career and how
to succeed in it. If you fail, however, you can buy the book “How to Turn Failure into
Success”. If you would like to become very rich, you can buy the book “How to Make a
Millionaire”. If you never make any money at all, you may need a book called “How to
Live on Nothing”.
One of the most popular types of books is one that helps you with personal problems. If
you want to have a better love of life, you can read “How to Succeed in Love every
Minute of Your Life”. If you are tired of books on happiness, you may prefer books which
give step-by-step instructions on how to redecorate or enlarge a house.

VI/ READING COMPREHENSION:
Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sort have a difficult
decision about their children’s careers. Should they allow their children to train to become
top sportsmen and women? For many children it means starting very young and school
work, going out with friends and other interests have to take second place. It’s very
difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train for five hours a day, even at
the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.

16
Trường THPT Trần Hưng Đạo Đề Cương Anh Văn 12 - Học kỳ 2
Another problem is, of course, money. In many countries money for training is
available from the government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help
cannot be given it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to
support their child’s development – and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special
equipment, and etc. can all be very expensive.
Many parents are understandably worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in
a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by
training before they are properly developed. Professional trainers, however, believe that it
is only by starting young that very few people do reach the top and both parents and
children should be prepared for failure even many years of training.

A. They give them money for training.

C. They give them sports clothes and special equipment.
D. They give them good positions in the government.

A. one can only become a top sportsperson by starting young but it is very
expensive.
B. one can only become a top sportsperson by starting young and all parents are
willing to spend their money and time on the training.
C. one will have a lot of friends and money when one stars young to train to
become a top sportsperson.
D. early training helps to develop young muscles without ever damaging them.

A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS
I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to
an isolated village in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N’djamena. Coming from a
rich country, I got quite a shock as conditions were much harder than I had expected. But

28
Trường THPT Trần Hưng Đạo Đề Cương Anh Văn 12 - Học kỳ 2
after a few days I soon got used to living there. The people were always very friendly and
helpful, and soon I began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside was.
One of my jobs was to supply the village with water. The well was a long walk away.
And the women used to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and
forwards. So I contacted organization and arranged to have some pipes delivered. We
built a simple pipeline and a pump, and it worked first time. It wasn’t perfect – there were
a few leaks and the water was very hot because the pipe had been lying in the sun all day.
However, it made a great difference to the villagers, who had never had running water
before.
All in all I think my time with OV was a good experience. Although it was not
well-paid, it was worth doing. And I would recommend it to anyone who was considering
working for a charity.

A/ has been working for OV for a year.

B/ The villagers used to live in conditions without running water
C/ A pipeline was built to carry clean water to homes.
D/ The sun was used to heat water.
4/ The word “It” refers to:
A/ running water B/ the pipeline C/ the supply of water D/ the organization
5/ What does the author think about his time with OV?

VII. READING COMPREHENSION:


In 1960, Laura Ashley, a housewife with young children, began designing and
selling clothes. After some early success, her husband, Bernard, an experienced
businessman, joined her and was able to provide considerable help and advice.
The business expanded rapidly. Laura had started working at home, and soon
there were several "Laura Ashley" shops where women could buy pretty,
traditional clothes in a country style, made of natural materials. By the 1980s, the
company had developed into a multi-million pound international organization
with branches in places as far apart as London, Brussels, San Francisco and
Tokyo.
Laura Ashley was a woman of simple tastes and strong moral beliefs. She was
born in Wales and one of her largest factories producing clothes was situated in
the countryside there. Her employees were encouraged to lead healthy lives, enjoy
the fresh air and a good diet. Many of the Ashley family were involved in the
business, but in 1985 it was decided that the public should be given the
opportunity to invest money in the company. Obviously this was a major
development and a clear sign of commercial success. But the woman whose ideas

34

Wartime inevitably the cause of women’s right-women became indispensable as workers outside
home, as they had to keep the factories and government machinery running while the men went
out to fight. They were allowed into new areas of employment and were conceded new degrees
of responsibility. In 1918 they got the vote. Again, during the Second World War, state nurseries
were built on a considerable scale to enable women to hold on to their gains. Men reclaimed their
jobs, and women were forced back into the home and confined to their traditionally low-paid,
menial and supportive forms of work. The government closed down most of the nurseries.
Theories about maternal deprivation emerged-women who had been told it was patriotic to go-out
to work during the war were now told that their children would suffer if they did not say at home.
Little progress was made for the next two decades.
