Geocaching has been all the rage among adventure Your Answers:
lovers for a while. It is a type of global treasure hunt of
people looking for caches, or hidden stash of objects. 41.
Geocaching may also be described as a series of hide-
and-seek games, where hiders provide online clues for 42.
seekers, and seekers use global positioning system
(GPS) devices to find hidden caches. For example, a 43.
cache may be hidden on one side of a tree, or may only
44.
be visible from a certain angle. Because geocachers
want the hobby to remain safe for people of all ages, 45.
caches are located 150 feet off railroad tracks. After
registering online, geocachers look for coordinations
(the longitude and latitude) of caches. Caches have two
or three parts: a waterproof container, a logbook to list
the people who visit the cache, and sometimes a low-
cost trinket or geocoin. Common materials found inside
caches might include foreign currency, keychains,
ornaments, or booklets. Valuable objects, food, or other
items that could be easily damaged are not allowed in
geocaching.

As geocaching has grown, virtual caches, or caches that

don't include an actual physical object, are no longer
allowed. Most of the time, these virtual caches involved
getting geocachers to a historical site or scenic vista.
Waymarking is similar to virtual geocaching. Its clues
lead participants to interesting spots or trails. Some
national parks and wilderness areas do not allow
geocaching, therefore they encourage waymarking as a
good way to see the area.

51. 52. 53. 54. 55.

Part 2. For questions 56-68, read the following passage and do the tasks that follow.

Though there are 600 million cars on the planet, and counting, there are also seven billion
people, which means that for the vast majority of us getting around involves taking buses,
ferry boats, commuter trains, streetcars, and subways. In other words, traveling to work,
school, or the market means being a straphanger: somebody who, by choice or necessity,
relies on public transport, rather than a privately owned automobile.
Half the population of New York, Toronto, and London do not own cars. Public transport is
how most of the people of Asia and Africa, the world’s most populous continents, travel.
Every day, subway systems carry 155 million passengers, thirty-four times the number
carried by all the world’s airplanes, and the global public transport market is now valued at
$428 billion annually. A century and a half after the invention of the internal combustion
engine, private car ownership is still an anomaly.
And yet public transportation, in many minds, is the opposite of glamor—a squalid last resort
for those with one too many impaired driving charges, too poor to afford insurance, or too
decrepit to get behind the wheel of a car. In much of North America, they are right: taking
transit is a depressing experience. Anybody who has waited far too long on a street corner for
114
FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO [email protected]

the privilege of boarding a lurching, overcrowded bus, or wrestled luggage onto subways and
shuttles to get to a big city airport, knows that transit on this continent tends to be
underfunded, ill-maintained, and ill-planned. Given the opportunity, who wouldn’t drive?
Hopping in a car almost always gets you to your destination more quickly.
It doesn’t have to be like this. Done right, public transport can be faster, more comfortable,
and cheaper than the private automobile. In Shanghai, German-made magnetic levitation
trains skim over elevated tracks at 266 miles an hour, whisking people to the airport at a third
of the speed of sound. In provincial French towns, electric-powered streetcars run silently on
rubber tires, sliding through narrow streets along a single guide rail set into cobblestones.
From Spain to Sweden, Wi-Fi equipped high-speed trains seamlessly connect with highly
ramified metro networks, allowing commuters to work on laptops as they prepare for same-
day meetings in once distant capital cities. In Latin America, China, and India, working
people board fast-loading buses that move like subway trains along dedicated busways,
leaving the sedans and SUVs of the rich mired in dawn-to-dusk traffic jams. And some cities
have transformed their streets into cycle-path freeways, making giant strides in public health
and safety and the sheer livability of their neighborhoods—in the process turning the
workaday bicycle into a viable form of mass transit.
If you credit the demographers, this transit trend has legs. The “Millennials,” who reached
adulthood around the turn of the century and now outnumber baby boomers, tend to favor
cities over suburbs, and are far more willing than their parents to ride buses and subways.
Part of the reason is their ease with iPads, MP3 players, Kindles, and smartphones: you can
get some serious texting done when you’re not driving, and earbuds offer effective insulation
from all but the most extreme commuting annoyances. Even though there are more teenagers
in the country than ever, only ten million have a driver’s license (versus twelve million a
generation ago). Baby boomers may have been raised in Leave It to Beaver suburbs, but as
they retire, a significant contingent is favoring older cities and compact towns where they
have the option of walking and riding bikes. Seniors, too, are more likely to use transit, and
by 2025, there will be 64 million Americans over the age of sixty-five. Already, dwellings in
older neighborhoods in Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and Denver, especially those near light-
rail or subway stations, are commanding enormous price premiums over suburban homes.
The experience of European and Asian cities shows that if you make buses, subways, and
trains convenient, comfortable, fast, and safe, a surprisingly large percentage of citizens will
opt to ride rather than drive.
For questions 56 - 62, decide whether the following statements are True (T), False (F) or
Not Given (NG). Write T, F, NG in the corresponding numbered boxes provided.
56. Every individual travels by public transportation on a regular basis.
57. In terms of daily passenger index, global underground systems outstrip all remaining
modes of transit by 34 times.
58. Although the internal combustion engine has been utilized for 150 years, those who
own an automobile are still few and far between.
59. Public transit in North America leaves a lot to be desired regarding its financial
resources, servicing and planning.

115

60. Wifi-fitted trains from Spain to Sweden are swifter compared to their maglev
counterparts in Shanghai.
61. Merely a fraction of all adolescents in the USA possess a driving license.
62. As displayed by Eurasian examples, once given adequate attention, public vehicles
can reign supreme over personal ones.
For questions 63 - 68, read the summary and fill in each blank with NO MORE THAN
THREE WORDS taken from the passage. Write your answers in the corresponding
numbered boxes provided.
Nowadays, becoming a(n) 63._________ is the go-to option for commuting to one’s
destinations of choice, irrespective of whether this is due to essentiality or personal decisions.
Whilst the ownership of private vehicles is therefore deemed rather peculiar, public
transportation still remains a(n) 64._________ for desperate travelers. Nonetheless, radical
approaches have been adopted on a global scale to bolster the efficiency of public transit,
with one in particular harnessing cycles – ultimately bettering communal security, well-being
and 65. _________. All this can be attributed to the arrival of millennials, with their cutting-
edge technology affording both convenience and serenity, albeit not against 66. _________.
A(n) 67. _________ of geriatrics nearing retirement are also increasingly opting for long-
established places, though given how communal transport is gaining traction among the
elderly, in-town accommodation in proximity to transit points is witnessing 68.________
compared to its suburban equivalent.

Part 3. In the passage below, seven paragraphs have been removed. For questions 69-75,
read the passage and choose from the paragraphs A-H the one which fits each gap. There
is ONE extra paragraph which you do not need to use. Write your answers in the
corresponding numbered boxes provided.

Taking the Plunge

Paying people to take part in clinical trials is frowned upon. But in a world of risks and
rewards, what's the problem, asks Julian Savulescu
Consider the following scenario. Researchers from an Australian biotech company want to
enlist a family with a rare genetic mutation for a study into genetic illness. They strongly
believe that they can identify one of the genes involved in the disease in this family, and if
they do, the company stands to make a large amount of money The researchers aim to
persuade the family to take part in the study by offering each member $10,000. All they
would have to do is give some saliva samples.

116
FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO [email protected]

69.

Such standards are rigorously enforced. But there is another way of looking at it.
Pharmaceuticals and biotech companies carry out trials because they hope eventually to make
substantial profits from the results. The researchers also benefit financially and through the
advancement of their careers. Meanwhile, the participants in a trial barely benefit at all.
Indeed, they could be said to be exploited in the interests of industry and biomedicine.

70.

Now compare the trial mentioned above with a real example in which a patient is invited to
take part in a study into genetic predisposition to glaucoma, a disease of the eye which can
cause a person to gradually lose their sight. If she agrees, the patient will have access to a
new genetic test for glaucoma that is not available outside the study. The cost of this test is a
few hundred dollars.

71.

The issue becomes most acute when applied to high-risk research. Ethics committees argue
that in these cases money may make people go against their better judgment and take risks
that they would not ordinarily take. However, not paying volunteers who take part in high-
risk research makes an even greater mockery of the system.

72.

In many cases such as this, the financial reward is the only thing that makes it worthwhile for
a volunteer to take the risk. But why should that bother ethics committees? We make such
decisions every day. Do we always make them against our better judgment?

73.

Similarly, an unemployed man sees an advertisement for a construction worker's job. Al the
interview, the employer tells him the job involves working on high scaffolding and that the
risk of dying on the site is between 1 in 2000 and 1 in 5000 higher per year than working at
ground level. In compensation for this he will receive an extra $10,000 a year. He takes the
job.

74.

Why should they be treated as a special case? Life is all about taking considered risks. If
$10,000 is the going rate for taking on a 1 in 2000 increased risk of dying then researchers
117
FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO [email protected]

should be allowed to offer volunteers the going rate. Competent rational people are quite able
to weigh up the risks and benefits for themselves. I have never understood the suggestion that
offering money restricts people's freedom to choose.

75.

It seems to me we should allow people to take measured risks for the chance to improve the
quality of their lives or their children's lives or for anything else they value. We should allow
them to make that choice in any field.
—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Missing paragraphs:
A. For example, a researcher wishes to recruit healthy, unemployed men at a local labor
exchange for a study into the effects of new anti-hypertensive medications. The volunteers
would have to wear a device to measure pressure in the heart. This can cause life-threatening
complications, although the risk of death is 1 in 2000 and is clearly stated on the consent
form, yet all the researcher can offer the volunteers is a mere $100 for their trouble.
B. In many countries today such a scenario is inconceivable. Researchers are not allowed to
offer significant sums of money to participants in a medical trial, even for low-risk
experiments. Offering money is considered 'undue inducement that could interfere with a
volunteer's judgment on whether to take part, and turn the relationship between scientist and
subject into a commercial, unethical one.
C. Benefits in kind like this are permissible. and many volunteers receive them. They are not
considered undue inducements, yet money is. This is paternalistic and nonsensical. It would
be far more respectful to volunteers if researchers could offer them the choice.
D. Could you say that either situation resulted in unsound judgements? In both cases they are
effectively being paid for taking on a greater risk. There appears nothing objectionable in
their decisions, yet participants in medical trials are not even allowed to make the choice.
E. The crucial things are to ensure that the risk involved is reasonable compared with the
benefits it will offer the participant and society, and that the participants are fully informed
and give their consent freely. If the risks balance the benefits for example if the right study is
likely to save the lives of patients in the future and the participants know all the risks and are
free to make their choice, then what does it matter how much they are paid?
F. Consider a couple with two young children who are contemplating buying a new car. They
find one for $30,000 but if they spend an extra $10,000, they could get one with significantly
better safety features such as airbags and an anti-lock braking system. The safer car has been
shown to reduce the risk of death by 1 in 2000 a year. But the couple decide to buy the
cheaper car and spend the extra $10,000 on a family holiday instead.
G. One such ethics committee in Australia nearly rejected a proposal to pay a particular
group of people the equivalent of just 10 US dollars for completing an anonymous
questionnaire about their behavior for a study on the spread of hepatitis C

H. If this is the case, surely it is only fair that they share in the rewards? Publicly funded
research is perhaps more complicated, as participants may be acting in the public interest. But
my main argument applies equally to commercial and non-commercial trials: researchers
should be allowed to pay volunteers, and to pay them well, even for high-risk research.

best according to the text. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes
provided.
Have you noticed how bizarre social media and the news cycle has been lately? In the age of
digital media, journalism is changing significantly. Widely available storytelling and
distribution tools, misinformation spreading like wildfire, social media filter bubbles-
headlines and stories are increasingly vying for attention, plastered across a smörgåsbord of
platforms. Can media get any stranger? Without a doubt.
The videos we watch and podcasts we listen to may themselves soon be seamlessly
manipulated, distorting the truth in new ways. Photoshop was just the beginning. Advanced
media creation tools today are cheaper than ever, and innovative tech is accelerating the
bleeding edge, further blurring the line between fantasy and reality.
One of the latest developments was introduced last week at the Adobe Max conference in San
Diego. Engineered to make audio editing easier, Adobe's Project VoCo allows users to edit
voices by rearranging words or saying phrases never actually recorded all via typing. The
software requires a minimum of 20 minutes of recorded talking to do its magic. Then you can
make an edited or brand new snippet of speech... In short, this is the audio version of
Photoshop- the ability to create something from nothing. A new generation of "sound-
shopping," à la photoshopping, has been born.
On the surface, many immediate practical applications like dialogue editing for video will
become much easier. Gamers can also benefit from characters whose dialogue is more
flexible instead of defaulting to whatever the designers initially wrote. And voice interfaces –
like Siri or Alexa - are likely to sound more nuanced too.
But while the tone of the presentation was playful, the dark side of Project VoCo is hard to
ignore, and Adobe presenter Zeyu Jin didn't hesitate to share the negative implications. To
combat misuse, he said Adobe is working on forgery prevention, using watermarks to
distinguish between real or fake. It's also worth noting that the tool isn't publicly available, as
the project is still under development. Still, it won't be too long until such tools are available.
Video and sound manipulation isn't new, as anyone who's ever seen a Hollywood film can
attest. What's new is the affordability of such tools and the scale they can achieve nowadays
versus expensive and complicated software workflows of the past. Anyone with a relatively
affordable computer, hardware, and access to the internet theoretically could do what once
only major post- production studios could achieve.
Software alone won't devalue big budget Hollywood filmmaking – we can never seemingly
have enough grandiose destruction in films these days but it will make user-generated
119
FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO [email protected]

content easier to produce at a much higher quality than previously imaginable. The future of
media has already arrived, but distribution may be much more bottom-up than the top-down
many have come to expect, as more new tools roll out and greater numbers of people learn to
use them.
Fake audio is only one facet of the larger emerging trend of audiovisual distortion. [A] Video
facial manipulation via Stanford's Face2Face has shown promising results, and the software
is similarly aimed at mass distribution. [B] And there's more: a newly developed machine
learning algorithm can convert still images into mini videos, and it doesn't require video or
audio at all, just a still image. [C] Last but not least, we continue to see major advances in
gaming graphics.
[D] Each of these tools on its own isn't necessarily so harmful, but their convergence has
huge implications. When computers are translating languages as well as humans and chatbots
are becoming tools for communicating with dead friends and relatives, piecing all these tools
together is the magic glue that could one day create believable avatars of real, non-living or
entirely fake personalities who can speak every language, personalize every one-on-one
interaction, and perform something different to a new audience every time.

Should drama take centre stage?

Do students benefit from studying drama? We've asked five experts to share their views on
incorporating drama into education.
Expert A
Discussion about the role of drama in education has always focused on whether drama should
be taught as a mandatory subject. Educationists, policy-makers and of course other interested

121
FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO [email protected]

stakeholders may raise a raft of pertinent points supporting or opposing this proposition, but
that shouldn't preclude drama from featuring in other lessons. At its core, drama teaches
students a range of communicative and interpersonal skills that are easily transferable to other
school subjects and beyond. For instance, role-play dialogues, arguably the most accessible
of drama activities, can be used to great effect in other subjects, including foreign languages,
literature and even history. We must ensure that any debates about the place of drama lessons
in the school timetable are kept distinct from the use of drama activities as a valid
pedagogical tool.
Expert B
Creative subjects such as drama continue to attract substantial attention from educational
experts. However, most of the research has been directed towards the implications for schools
and colleges, and whether these subjects can achieve positive learning outcomes for students.
Conversely, relatively little research has been conducted in the area of drama teaching in
higher education contexts. Further light should be shone on this area because universities are
becoming increasingly creative with their teaching techniques and their use of drama. Many
such institutions are discovering that drama is an ideal means by which students can gain
meaningful practical experience in areas related to their future careers. For instance, common
drama activities, like improvisation exercises, can help medical students learn more about
interacting with anxious patients.
Expert C
While the benefits of exposing students to the arts are generally accepted, there has been a
shift in recent years away from focusing on performance-related disciplines. Inevitably, given
the increasing governmental scrutiny schools are under regarding students' performance in
formal exams, some establishments are reluctant to allocate teaching time to those subjects
that are not formally assessed. Instead, priority is given to what are considered core subjects,
such as maths and science, to appease education authorities. Overlooking subjects like drama
in this way is incredibly short-sighted and misguided. However, attitudes to education and
teaching approaches tend to go in cycles. Hopefully, drama and other arts subjects will be
reinstated and be taught at school again before long.
Expert D
Performing arts are well established in many educational contexts around the world, but the
approaches taken to the teaching of drama vary. In some countries, drama is treated as a niche
subject that should only be offered to students displaying an innate aptitude for creative
subjects. These students are encouraged to pursue drama and it is even presented as a viable
career path. What this approach fails to recognise is that drama has intrinsic value in itself,
regardless of a student's future aspirations or natural ability. It enriches students' lives by
helping them discover new worlds of possibility. Restricting some students' access to drama,
or indeed any creative subject, simply because they are deemed to lack certain skills is
wrong. Not only will it reinforce the idea that the arts are elitist, but it could also prevent
students from broadening their creative horizons.
Expert E
It's encouraging to see that the teaching of drama now receives widespread support within
most educational circles. This certainly hasn't always been the case, but the consensus now

122
FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO [email protected]

seems to be that drama shouldn't be regarded as an optional extra. This represents a

fundamental shift from traditional, assessment-focused views of education towards a more
holistic approach in which learners' individual strengths, needs and interests should be
considered. However, in the rush to incorporate drama teaching into the school curriculum,
we must ensure that it is done to the same rigorous standards as with any other subject.
Unless drama classes are taught by specialist teachers with professional training, the concern
is that drama will continue to be on the periphery, rather than an integral part of the school
experience.

Which expert makes the following statements?

86. External influences can determine how schools organise their timetables.
87. Do not confuse drama as a specialist subject with drama as a class activity.
88. Drama can be particularly useful when teaching career-based skills.
89. Drama lessons are an important way to expose students to culture.
90. Educational experts are becoming increasingly in favour of teaching drama.
91. Drama deserves a place on the school curriculum.
92. More needs to be done to improve the quality of drama teaching in schools.
93. Drama should be offered to all pupils, regardless of their level of talent.
94. Drama can enhance learners' experience of many different subjects.
95. There is a need for additional study on some aspects of drama teaching.

IV. WRITING (60 POINTS)

Part 1. Read the following extract and use your own words to summarize it. Your summary
should be between 100 and 120 words.

Controlling conundrums in life through pessimism

Insomnia has a good claim to being counted among the most excruciating tortures that can
ever befall us, blighting us with suffocating headaches, irritability, low level depression and
an overall grisly sense that our lives are passing us by in a blur of weariness and confusion.
No wonder if we sometimes get furious at all those well-meaning recommendations that get
sent our way: the sentimental hogwash about lavender-scented candles, no phones after
seven, chamomile tea, and meditations in the lotus position.

Given the pain, it might sound odd – perhaps perverse – to approach our situation from a very
different angle and suggest that if we ever want to master our situation, we may have to make
a truly uncommon and surprising move. We should stare at our situation with heroic courage
and defiant ferocity and accept that we have clearly been condemned by some malevolent
123
FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO [email protected]

wizard to a life of more or less continual insomnia. This is our lot and we have to accept it on
the chin – the way we might a death sentence.

Then, once the full resonance of our appalling state has been absorbed, something even
stranger might just unfold: we may well – after a time – fall asleep. A major part of what
aggravates sleeplessness is a desperate roiling sense that we should be asleep – and yet are
not. Not only are we not sleeping, but we’re engaged in a battle with the idea that we
resolutely should be, which contributes crucially to our awakened state. We need to broker
peace through pessimism. Pessimists appreciate that so much of what gets in the way of our
goals is anxiety about reaching them. It’s our worry that we’re going to be constipated that
creates the anxiety that keeps us so. Or the worry that we’ll fail an exam or might mess up a
speech or a date that ushers in the tension that ensures we will. But once we can concede that
our digestion is truly messed up and that we’re definitely going to flunk the date, the
certificate and the speech, we gain access to a lightness of spirit that contributes vitally to
success. Wanting something too hard may be the chief enemy of getting it; we may have to
embrace failure in order to have any chance of winning. It’s the wrong sort of hope that
complicates our future; and the right sort of darkness that can liberate us.

(2:40) Labels typically make money on the master recording one of three ways: through

Interviewer: I'm talking to Paddy Burt, who has a weekly hotel review column in a national
newspaper and who has just compiled a collection of those reviews for a forthcoming book.
Paddy, when you go to a hotel to review it, what's your attitude?
Paddy: I always have high hopes - a 'bet this one's going to be good' feeling. But you never
can tell. Hotels that look so idyllic in one of the guides can be a terrible letdown, which is
why (11) readers who say they enjoy the column invariably add 'particularly the bad
ones'. For example, I recently got this letter from a reader, who says: 'It used to be
every other week that you gave some poor hotelier a bashing. Now it's a rare treat to
read about one you've been severely critical of, and that's a pity since I love it when you
lay into a pretentious but bad one. Of course, it's helpful when you recommend a good
hotel, but, for entertainment's sake, do try to find some awful ones, too.
Interviewer: So are you always aiming to find fault? Are you glad when you find something
you can be critical of?
Paddy: I don't have to try. And while I'm always happy to slam into any pretentious hotel that
doesn't come up to scratch, it's a different matter when the people are nice and their hotel
isn't. I still have to write about it and sometimes it hurts. Hotel-keeping, it has been said, is
akin to show business and, in the ones I like best, (12) there is always a leading man or
woman who is sometimes so good I think he or she has missed their true vocation. Such
hoteliers usually have a sense of humour. They may not like what I have written about them,
but will respond in a good-humoured way. They are professionals. Many of them have
become friends.
Interviewer: What kind of hotels do you prefer? Is it possible to generalise about that?
Paddy: Well, I admit I have a penchant for owner-run hotels; they are more personal than the
chains. With a few exceptions, I like the owners of small hotels. Which is why I've had such
fun researching my book of review pieces that have appeared in the newspaper - calling them
if they haven't responded to the questionnaire I sent them and either telling them who I am or,
if I think they're going to shout at me, pretending to be the assistant I haven't got, Emily. (13)
'She didn't give us a very good review, did she?' some said, well, no - but maybe they
have since made improvements and would like people to know about them? Thus
encouraged, the majority of these hoteliers have entered not just into the book but into
the spirit and have contributed interesting behind-the-scenes stories.

131
FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO [email protected]

Interviewer: So some of the hotels you reviewed and wanted to put in the book haven't been
included?
Paddy: That's right. There's one, for example, where the owner said - I recorded all the calls -
'After insulting us and lying in her article, there is no way we would help her perpetuate her
grievances against the world in a publication.' To specify the lies, he pounced on a remark I
had made expressing surprise on being served certain vegetables in his restaurant. 'She
doesn't understand proper food,' he said. I was enthusiastic about it, actually, and if he wasn't
being so disagreeable, I would have liked to include his hotel in the book. On and on he went.
'Since her visit, we've noticed that a lot of people read her articles and then cross hotels off
their potential list as a result of what she's said. (14) They then go to hotels where she's
been fawned over and where they probably won't be fawned over. We've also noticed she
prefers staying in hotels that are almost empty because that's when they have time to make a
fuss of her.' Actually, being fawned over is the last thing that I want.
Interviewer: So your column can provoke quite a reaction, then?
Paddy: Oh, yes. In fact, the same owner also said 'After she stayed here, we had four hotels
asking for her description. They wanted to know what car she was driving and what credit
card she had. Unfortunately, we couldn't give (15) a description because she's fairly
nondescript.' But the peculiar thing is that when it finally clicked that being in the book
wasn't going to cost him a penny, he said he wanted to be included. Maybe it was because he
remembered that I had remarked on his resemblance to a much-loved comedian, sadly now
dead. I declined his kind offer.
Interviewer: I can see why. Paddy Burt, thanks for talking to me.

situation resulted in unsound judgements?”
- Dịch: Mối liên kết giữa hai ví dụ trước và "Bạn có thể nói rằng một trong hai tình
huống đều dẫn đến những đánh giá thiếu căn cứ không?"
75. E
- Dẫn chứng: Link between 'I have never understood’ in the previous paragraph and the
summary of arguments in E, ending with 'then what does it matter how much they are paid?"

kết thúc bằng 'thì họ được trả bao nhiêu thì có quan trọng gì?’
Part 4.
76. D
- Dẫn chứng: The passage begins with a description of a general trend towards media
representations becoming manipulated and even distorted, and then focuses on
Adobe's Project VoCo. The passage describes this project; then, the author hones in
on the potential risks associated with it. Choose D to reflect this content.
- Dịch: Đoạn văn bắt đầu bằng phần mô tả xu hướng chung khiến các phương tiện
truyền thông trở nên bị thao túng và thậm chí bị bóp méo, sau đó tập trung vào Dự án
VoCo của Adobe. Đoạn trích mô tả dự án này; sau đó, tác giả tập trung vào những rủi
ro tiềm ẩn liên quan đến nó. Chọn D để phản ánh nội dung này.
77. A
- Dẫn chứng: Have you noticed how bizarre social media and the news cycle has been
lately? […] Can media get any stranger? => The author uses questions for which the
potential response of a reader can most likely be predicted and is suggested in the
lines that follow soon after. Since the outcomes of these questions are known, they
function rhetorically to advance the author's argument. Choose A as appropriate.
- Dịch: Bạn có nhận thấy gần đây mạng xã hội và tin tức kỳ lạ thế nào không? […] Các
phương tiện truyền thông còn có thể kì lạ đến độ nào nữa? => Tác giả sử dụng những
câu hỏi có thể đoán trước được phản ứng tiềm ẩn của người đọc và chúng được gợi ý
ở những dòng tiếp theo. Vì kết quả của những câu hỏi này đã được biết trước nên
chúng có chức năng tu từ để thúc đẩy lập luận của tác giả. A là đáp án đúng.
78. C
- Dẫn chứng: In short, this is the audio version of Photoshop - the ability to create
something from nothing. A new generation of "sound-shopping," à la photoshopping,
has been born. => the phrase “à la” refers to how audio can be manipulated in the
same manner as [or similar to] photos (photoshopping), making C the correct answer
138
FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO [email protected]

- Dịch: Nói tóm lại, đây là phiên bản âm thanh của Photoshop - khả năng tạo ra thứ mới
hoàn toàn từ con số không. Một thế hệ "sound-shopping" mới, tựa như
photoshopping, đã ra đời. => cụm từ “à la” ám chỉ cách xử lý âm thanh giống như xử
lí ảnh (photoshopping), C là đáp án đúng.
79. D
- Dẫn chứng: What's new is the affordability of such tools and the scale they can
achieve nowadays versus expensive and complicated software workflows of the past."
=> Software-based editing tools are becoming more accessible due to being less
expensive and less complicated to use; choose D as appropriate.
- Dịch: Điểm mới là những công cụ này rất hợp túi tiền, chưa kể kết quả mà chúng cho
ra so với quy trình thực hiện phần mềm đắt tiền và phức tạp hơn trong quá khứ." =>
Các công cụ chỉnh sửa dựa trên phần mềm đang trở nên dễ tiếp cận hơn do ít tốn kém
hơn và ít phức tạp hơn khi sử dụng; D là câu trả lời đúng.
80. B
- Dẫn chứng: Gamers can also benefit from characters whose dialogue is more flexible
instead of defaulting to whatever the designers wrote. => Technological shifts will
make it increasingly possible for video and computer games to feature more lifelike
conversations; choose B as the best answer.
- Dịch: Người chơi được tiếp cận các nhân vật có lời thoại linh hoạt hơn thay vì mặc
định như nhà thiết kế đã viết. => Những thay đổi về công nghệ sẽ giúp các trò chơi
điện tử và máy tính ngày càng có nhiều tính năng hội thoại sống động hơn; B là câu
trả lời đúng nhất.
81. A
- Dẫn chứng: The phrase "grandiose destruction" refers to the spectacular and
extravagant scenes of destruction or action sequences that are commonly featured in
big budget Hollywood films. Despite advancements in technology enabling higher-
quality user-generated content, audiences continue to crave and appreciate these
visually stunning and impactful elements in mainstream cinema.
- Dịch: Cụm từ "grandiose destruction" dùng để chỉ những pha hành động hoành tráng
thường xuất hiện trong các bộ phim kinh phí lớn của Hollywood. Bất chấp những tiến
bộ trong công nghệ cho phép nội dung do người dùng tạo ra đem lại chất lượng cao
hơn, khán giả vẫn tiếp tục trông chờ và đánh giá cao những yếu tố hình ảnh ấn tượng
trong điện ảnh chính thống.
82. D
- Dẫn chứng: The future of media has already arrived, but distribution may be much
more bottom-up [community-driven] than the top-down [hierarchical] many have
come to expect, as more new tools roll out and greater numbers of people learn to use
them.
- Dịch: Ta đã trải nghiệm các phương tiện truyền thông hết sức tân tiến, nhưng việc
phân phối chúng có thể được thực hiện bởi cộng đồng thay vì mang tính phân cấp từ
trên xuống như nhiều người thường mong, khi có nhiều công cụ mới được thử nghiệm
và số lượng người học cách sử dụng nhiều hơn.
83. B
- Dẫn chứng: This sentence ‘Video facial manipulation via Stanford's Face2Face has
shown promising results, and the software is similarly aimed at mass distribution.’
and the missing one are linked by the concept of "autovisual distortion". More
139
FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO [email protected]

notably, the first sentence discusses video facial manipulation, whereas the missing
one starts with “Beyond faces”, making [B] the correct gap to place the missing
sentence
- Dịch: Câu 'Thao tác chỉnh sửa khuôn mặt trên video thông qua Face2Face của
Stanford đã cho kết quả đầy hứa hẹn và phần mềm này cũng nhằm mục đích phân
phối đại trà.' và câu còn thiếu được liên kết bởi khái niệm "biến đổi phương tiện nghe-
nhìn". Đáng chú ý, câu đầu tiên thảo luận về thao tác chỉnh sửa khuôn mặt trong
video, trong khi câu còn thiếu bắt đầu bằng “Beyond Faces”, dễ thấy [B] là chỗ trống
thích hợp để đặt câu còn thiếu.
84. B
- Dẫn chứng: Each of these tools on its own isn't necessarily so harmful, but their
convergence [when combining them] has huge implications. […], piecing all these
tools together is the magic glue that could one day create believable avatars of
real, non-living or entirely fake personalities who can speak every language,
personalize every one-on-one interaction, and perform something different to a new
audience every time.
- Dịch: Bản thân mỗi công cụ không nguy hiểm, nhưng khi chúng được kết hợp lại sẽ
ẩn chứa nhiều tiềm năng. […], ghép tất cả những công cụ này lại với nhau là chất keo
ma thuật mà một ngày nào đó có thể tạo ra những hình đại diện ảo nhưng lại giống
như nhân cách thật - những “người” có thể nói mọi ngôn ngữ, cá nhân hóa mọi tương
tác trực tiếp và luôn mang lại điều khác biệt đến với người dùng.
85. C
- Dẫn chứng: The provided text is distinctively suited to a tech article discussing
current and future trends in digital media, the impact of technology on media
production, and ethical considerations related to advanced media manipulation tools.
Furthermore, the phrase “last week” in paragraph 3 is used to denote a recent event –
something articles are often deployed to report.
- Dịch: Văn bản phù hợp làm một bài báo công nghệ bởi nó thảo luận về các xu hướng
hiện tại và tương lai của phương tiện truyền thông kỹ thuật số, tác động của công
nghệ đối với việc sản xuất phương tiện truyền thông và những cân nhắc về mặt đạo
đức liên quan đến các công cụ thao tác phương tiện truyền thông tiên tiến. Hơn nữa,
cụm từ “tuần trước” ở đoạn 3 được dùng để biểu thị một sự kiện gần đây – th ể hiện
một chức năng tiêu biểu của các bài báo, đó là báo cáo lại các sự kiện mang tính thời
sự.
Part 5.
86. C
- Dẫn chứng: Inevitably, given the increasing governmental scrutiny schools are under
regarding students’ performance in formal exams, some establishments are reluctant
to allocate teaching time to those subjects that are not formally assessed.
- Dịch: Điều này không thể tránh khỏi; do chính phủ ngày càng giám sát các trường học
về kết quả học tập của học sinh trong các kỳ thi chính thức, một số cơ sở không muốn
phân bổ thời gian giảng dạy cho những môn học không được đánh giá chính thức.
87. A
- Dẫn chứng: We must ensure that any debates about the place of drama lessons in the
school timetable are kept distinct from the use of drama activities as a valid
pedagogical tool.

- Dịch: Chúng ta phải đảm bảo rằng bất kỳ cuộc tranh luận nào về vị trí của các bài học
kịch trong thời khóa biểu ở trường đều phải tách biệt với việc sử dụng các hoạt động
kịch như một công cụ sư phạm hợp lệ.
88. B
- Dẫn chứng: Many such institutions are discovering that drama is an ideal means by
which students can gain meaningful practical experience in areas related to their
future careers.
- Dịch: Nhiều tổ chức như vậy đang phát hiện ra rằng kịch là một phương tiện lý tưởng
để sinh viên có thể có được trải nghiệm thực tế có ý nghĩa trong các lĩnh vực liên
quan đến nghề nghiệp tương lai của họ.
89. D
- Dẫn chứng: It enriches students' lives by helping them discover new worlds of
possibility.

những thế giới mới đầy tiềm năng.
90. E
- Dẫn chứng: It's encouraging to see that the teaching of drama now receives
widespread support within most educational circles.
- Dịch: Thật đáng khích lệ khi thấy rằng việc dạy kịch hiện nay nhận được sự ủng hộ
rộng rãi trong hầu hết giới giáo dục.
91. C
- Dẫn chứng: Overlooking subjects like drama in this way is incredibly short-sighted
and misguided. [...] Hopefully, drama and other arts subjects will be reinstated and be
taught at school again before long.
- Dịch: Nhìn nhận những môn học như kịch theo hướng này vô cùng thiển cận và sai
lầm. […] Hy vọng rằng kịch và các môn nghệ thuật khác sẽ được phục hồi và giảng
dạy ở trường học trong thời gian không lâu nữa.
92. E
- Dẫn chứng: However, in the rush to incorporate drama teaching into the school
curriculum, we must ensure that it is done to the same rigorous standards as with any
other subject.
- Dịch: Tuy nhiên, trong nỗ lực kết hợp việc dạy kịch vào chương trình giảng dạy ở
trường, chúng ta phải đảm bảo rằng nó được thực hiện theo các tiêu chuẩn khắt khe
giống như bất kỳ môn học nào khác.
93. D
- Dẫn chứng: Restricting some students' access to drama, or indeed any creative
subject, simply because they are deemed to lack certain skills is wrong.
- Dịch: Việc hạn chế khả năng tiếp cận của một số học sinh với kịch nghệ, hoặc thực sự
là bất kỳ môn học sáng tạo nào, chỉ vì họ bị cho là thiếu một số kỹ năng nhất định là
sai lầm.
94. A
- Dẫn chứng: At its core, drama teaches students a range of communicative and
interpersonal skills that are easily transferable to other school subjects and beyond.
For instance, role-play dialogues, arguably the most accessible of drama activities,
can be used to great effect in other subjects, including foreign languages, literature
and even history.

- Dịch: Về cốt lõi, kịch dạy cho học sinh một loạt các kỹ năng giao tiếp và giao tiếp có
thể dễ dàng áp dụng sang các môn học khác và hơn thế nữa. Ví dụ, các đoạn hội thoại
đóng vai, được cho là hoạt động kịch dễ tiếp cận nhất, có thể được sử dụng hiệu quả
trong các môn học khác, bao gồm ngoại ngữ, văn học và thậm chí cả lịch sử.
95. B
- Dẫn chứng: […] relatively little research has been conducted in the area of drama
teaching in higher education contexts. Further light should be shone on this area
because universities are becoming increasingly creative with their teaching techniques
and their use of drama.
- Dịch: […] tương đối ít nghiên cứu đã được thực hiện trong lĩnh vực giảng dạy kịch
trong bối cảnh giáo dục đại học. Cần có thêm ánh sáng về lĩnh vực này vì các trường
đại học đang ngày càng trở nên sáng tạo với kỹ thuật giảng dạy và việc sử dụng kịch
của họ.

IV. WRITING (60 POINTS)

Part 1.
The passage elucidates an unconventional approach to navigating the complexities of life. For
insomnia sufferers, it may sound bizarre to them if they are given any words of wisdom that
encourage them to succumb to their conditions. Paradoxically; nonetheless, such resignation
can actually work miracles since it extricates them from the psychological dynamics
surrounding sleeplessness. By liberating people from consternation that sends us down a
rabbit hole trapped by denial of facts, pessimism can sometimes provide us with beams of
light at the end of a long and excruciating tunnel. Coming to terms with failures is
indispensable and so is turning off some sparkling rays of hope for the sake of a clearer sense
of future direction.

Part 2.

The table provides information about adult internet usage frequencies in one particular
European country between 2006 and 2010.

What is the most striking when looking at the data is the significant growth in the proportions
using the internet on daily and weekly bases. This increase was counterbalanced by marked
declines in the percentages of those using the internet 3 times per month and non-internet
users.
During the given time, the majority of adults were using the internet on a daily basis.
Beginning at 36%, the cohort of daily users registered a rise of about 5% annually until 2008,
after which it surged to 65% and further to 72% in 2010, which is notably the highest figure
on the whole chart.

Although the group of weekly internet users also witnessed an overall increase over the
period, its pattern was more volatile compared to its daily counterpart’s. Specifically,

142
FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO [email protected]

between 2006 and 2008, its figures almost doubled from 15% to 29%; however, this was
followed by a gradual fall to 22% at the end of the period.

Turning to the demographic of adults using the internet only 3 times per month, it was the
only group to see no change in the first two years surveyed, maintaining at 15%. Thereafter,
its percentages fell steadily, reaching 5% by 2010, marking a threefold decline over the
period.
A far more pronounced decrease was observed in the category comprising individuals
reportedly never using the internet. In 2006, this group encompassed a third of the examined
adult population; however, its figures had halved by 2008 prior to a plummet to only 1% at
the end. This represents a 34-fold decline over the period, which was by far the largest fall
recorded in the survey.

Part 3.

In the technology-driven world, means of information dissemination have been ubiquitous,

exerting transformative effects on society. However, a bold assertion occurs that the negative
impacts of this phenomenon eclipse the perceived benefits. I ardently advocate for this
position, primarily due to concerns about the unchecked spread of misinformation and the
infringement upon private lives.

Granted, proponents of media-rich culture might argue that the increasingly interconnected
digital landscape offers access to a wide breadth of information, thereby forging a more
informed society. They can cite the fact that there exist ample educational resources on the
internet, social media platforms, or news broadcasts, suggesting that students can optimize
their study by incorporating disparate approaches and the latest information. Nevertheless,
this line of reasoning is ill-founded, since it fails to factor in the formidable ramifications of
unfiltered information dissemination. Amidst the exponential mushrooming of mass
communication channels, the task of regulating and monitoring the authenticity and
transparency of conveyed messages becomes an ever more daunting endeavor. Consequently,
the vast expanse of available information across media outlets is beset with misleading or
inaccurate content, ultimately distorting individuals' worldviews. Demonstrably as follows,
the spread of false information during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as conspiracy theories
about the origins of the virus or misinformation about the effectiveness of certain treatments,
has led to bewilderment and mistrust among the public.

Another biding concern is the potential invasion of privacy in a media-saturated world. The
excess of media can spawn a cut-throat market, in which media firms would go to any lengths
to achieve a broader audience. The consequences can be dire if some platforms resort to
unscrupulous activities such as spamming or wiretapping to collect data from potential
customers. To illustrate, Facebook has long been accused of gathering its users’ information
to sell covertly to other companies for advertising purposes. This demonstrates the
deleterious aspects of the media-rich culture.
143
FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO [email protected]

In conclusion, I firmly hold the view that the surplus of media is predominantly undesirable
due to the risk of individuals becoming overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information and
the potential intrusion into their private lives. Hence, the growth of media must be kept in
check, and media literacy be promoted to harness the power of mass communication for
societal advancement. during high school when students are still in the formative stages of
their academic journey. On the side of teachers and academic advisors, if equipped with
extensive experience, some of them comprehend industry expectations and possess insights
into students' strengths and weaknesses, qualifying them to proffer constructive feedback on
course selection. Meanwhile, for students, the high school period serves as a crucial time for
reconsideration and self-reflection. Being teenagers at the age of merely 18 years old, they
have more time and energy to steer toward fields where their potential can flourish and their
academic pursuits align with their abilities. Illustrative of this is the case that a student,
despite aspiring for a Computer

V. SPEAKING (20 POINTS)

Ladies and gentlemen,

My topic today is [TOPIC 4]. So, let’s get started shall we?

At some point during our school years, I bet we all feel tired of doing boring, repetitive types
of school tests and just want to give up. But we have to go to school and do homework, so we
might be tempted to go online and copy others’ work, right? Such a scenario begs the
question of why we choose plagiarism over our own attempt and whether there are any
possible measures that we can take to stop this. In my speech today, I will try to elaborate on
plagiarism in academics by addressing these two concerns.

As plagiarism is going rampant in academic settings, there are three main reasons for this.
First, in many cases, plagiarism mostly comes from a lack of understanding of the concept
itself. Plagiarism basically means you take or copy someone’s work and make it your own,
but many students may not fully understand the concept, leading to improper citations of
different sources in their own essays. This can lead to unintentional plagiarism, where
students include information from different sources without giving their authors proper credit.
Second, the pressure to perform well academically may make students resort to plagiarism. In
a society where our worth is often judged very superficially based on school grades or exams,
students are stressed out and burdened by the fear of failure. Hence, they may have no choice
but to succumb themselves to plagiarism methods to save time, effort, or simply to finish tons
of workload that they are assigned by teachers. Third, with the bewilderingly tech-driven
inventions, the accessibility of the Internet and free online tools make it easier for students to
plagiarize. Now, with just a click of the mouse, students can find any information through
newspapers, videos, or ChatGPT (which can generate anything they need), and use them in
their assignments without properly citing those sources. Such availability and convenience
are too tempting for students to miss, especially those who are either stressed out by schools
or too lazy to do their tasks.
144
FANPAGE TÀI LIỆU TIẾNG ANH NÂNG CAO [email protected]

In order to combat plagiarism, schools need to focus on the core of the matter - which is to
educate students about academic integrity. School rules should explicitly state what is
allowed and what is not when it comes to exam or study practices, and put plagiarism in the
“must not do” box. Enforcing some punitive measures, such as probation or cleaning duties,
may also serve as a deterrent for students who want to plagiarize. Furthermore,
extracurricular sessions about proper citation practices ought to be implemented so that
students would know how to distinguish between downright copying and appropriate
reference ideas. Professors can also leverage legit plagiarism detection software when
grading students to ensure that their works are original. Another deep-rooted cause that needs
to be tackled is academic pressure. Rather than emphasize high achievement and perfect
grades, schools should be an encouraging environment for students to thrive in different ways
instead of only excelling academically. If that can be done, plagiarism shouldn’t be a cause
for concern as students may no longer need to fulfill unreachable academic expectations.

In conclusion, plagiarism is a serious and pervasive issue in academic settings that can have
far-reaching consequences for students. By addressing the root causes of plagiarism,
including academic stress, lack of understanding of citation practices, improper use of online
sources, and offering solutions like educating students and changing the general mindset of
people in academics, we can work towards creating a culture of academic integrity and help
students develop their own ideas and skills, leading to a more fulfilling academic experience
for all. That is the end of my speech. Thank you!
