Dịch bài đọc:
Các công nhân là trẻ em, khoảng 10 tuổi, được tìm thấy đang làm việc trong một nhà máy dệt may trong điều kiện được mô tả là gần với chế độ nô lệ để sản xuất quần áo dành cho một trong những nhà bán lẻ đường phố lớn.
Sự phát hiện của những đứa trẻ làm việc trong điều kiện khủng khiếp tại khu vực Shahpur Jat của Delhi đã làm mới mối quan ngại về việc sắp xếp người làm thêm bên ngoài của một số chuỗi bán lẻ lớn sản xuất hàng may mặc cho Ấn Độ, được LHQ công nhận là một trong những điểm nóng của thế giới đối với lao động trẻ em. Theo một ước tính, hơn 20% nền kinh tế Ấn Độ phụ thuộc vào trẻ em, trong đó có tới 55 triệu trẻ dưới 14 tuổi làm việc. Người tiêu dùng ở phương Tây không chỉ đòi hỏi những câu trả lời của các nhà bán lẻ về sản phẩm được sản xuất ra mà còn nên xem xét lương tâm về việc họ chi tiền và liệu giá rẻ ở phương Tây có đáng gây đau khổ cho nhiều trẻ em hay không.

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
Unlike these fish, which are actually extinct, the coelacanth is a type of fish that was believed to be extinct. However, an unexpected twentieth- century rediscovery of living coelacanths has brought about a reassessment of the status of the prehistoric sea creature that was believed to have long since disappeared from the Earth. From fossil remains of the coelacanth, paleontologists have determined that the coelacanth was in existence around 350 million years ago, during the Paleozoic Era, more than 100 million years before the first dinosaurs arrived on the Earth. The most recent fossilized coelacanths date from around 70 million years ago, near the end of the age of dinosaurs. Because no fossilized remnants of coelacanth was believed to have died out around the same time as the dinosaurs.
The prehistoric coelacanth studied by paleontologists had distinctive characteristics that differentiated it from other fish. It was named for its hollow spine and was known to have been a powerful carnivore because of its many sharp teeth and a special joint in the skull that allowed the ferocious teeth to move in coordination with the lower jaw. It also had a pair of fins with unusual bony and muscular development that allowed the coelacanth to dart around the ocean floor. These fins also enable the coelacanth to search out prey trying to hide on the ocean bottom.
In 1938, a living specimen of the coelacanth was discovered in the catch of a fishing boat off the coast of South Africa, and since then numerous other examples of the coelacanth have been found in the waters of the Indian Ocean. This modern version of the coelacanth is not exactly the same as its prehistoric cousin. Today's coelacanth is larger than its prehistoric relative, measuring up to six feet in length and weighing up to 150 pounds. However, the modern version of the coelacanth still possesses the characteristic hollow spine and distinctive fins with their unusual bony and muscular structure.
It can be inferred from the passage that the first dinosaurs most likely appeared on Earth around
450 million years ago
350 million years ago

Unlike these fish, which are actually extinct, the coelacanth is a type of fish that was believed to be extinct. However, an unexpected twentieth- century rediscovery of living coelacanths has brought about a reassessment of the status of the prehistoric sea creature that was believed to have long since disappeared from the Earth. From fossil remains of the coelacanth, paleontologists have determined that the coelacanth was in existence around 350 million years ago, during the Paleozoic Era, more than 100 million years before the first dinosaurs arrived on the Earth. The most recent fossilized coelacanths date from around 70 million years ago, near the end of the age of dinosaurs. Because no fossilized remnants of coelacanth was believed to have died out around the same time as the dinosaurs.
The prehistoric coelacanth studied by paleontologists had distinctive characteristics that differentiated it from other fish. It was named for its hollow spine and was known to have been a powerful carnivore because of its many sharp teeth and a special joint in the skull that allowed the ferocious teeth to move in coordination with the lower jaw. It also had a pair of fins with unusual bony and muscular development that allowed the coelacanth to dart around the ocean floor. These fins also enable the coelacanth to search out prey trying to hide on the ocean bottom.
In 1938, a living specimen of the coelacanth was discovered in the catch of a fishing boat off the coast of South Africa, and since then numerous other examples of the coelacanth have been found in the waters of the Indian Ocean. This modern version of the coelacanth is not exactly the same as its prehistoric cousin. Today's coelacanth is larger than its prehistoric relative, measuring up to six feet in length and weighing up to 150 pounds. However, the modern version of the coelacanth still possesses the characteristic hollow spine and distinctive fins with their unusual bony and muscular structure.

Chủ đề của đoạn trước rất có thể là
A. sự khám phá cá vây tay B. đánh giá lại tình trạng của một số loại cá
C. một sinh vật biển thời tiền sử đặc biệt D. các loài cá tuyệt chủng khác nhau
Bởi ở đầu bài viết này có nhắc đến “these fish, which are actually extinct” nên đoạn trước có thể nói về các loài cá đã tuyệt chủng
Dịch bài đọc:
Không giống như những loài cá này thực sự đã tuyệt chủng, cá vây tay là một loại cá được cho là đã tuyệt chủng. Tuy nhiên, một khám phá lạ lùng trong thế kỷ hai mươi về cá vây tay sống đã mang đến một đánh giá về trạng thái của sinh vật biển tiền sử được cho là từ lâu đã biến mất khỏi Trái Đất.
Từ các hóa thạch còn lại của cá vây tay, các nhà cổ sinh vật học đã xác định rằng cá vây tay đã tồn tại khoảng 350 triệu năm trước, trong kỷ nguyên Paleozoi, hơn 100 triệu năm trước khi những con khủng long đầu tiên xuất hiện trên trái đất. Các loài cá vây tay hoá thạch gần đây nhất được cho là từ khoảng 70 triệu năm trước, gần cuối thời kỳ khủng long. Bởi vì không có hóa thạch còn sót lại của cá vây tay được cho là đã chết trong khoảng thời gian giống như khủng long.
Cá vây tay tiền sử được các nhà cổ sinh vật học nghiên cứu có đặc điểm phân biệt với các loài cá khác. Nó được đặt tên bởi cột sống rỗng của nó và được biết đến là một động vật ăn thịt mạnh bởi nhiều răng sắc và một khớp đặc biệt trong hộp sọ cho phép răng khoẻ mạnh chuyển động cùng với hàm dưới. Nó cũng có một đôi vây với sự phát triển xương và cơ bắp bất thường cho phép cá vây tay lặn xuống đáy đại dương. Những vây này cũng cho phép cá vây tay tìm ra con mồi cố gắng trốn trên đáy đại dương.
Năm 1938, một mẫu vật sống của cá vây tay đã được tìm thấy trong một chiếc thuyền đánh bắt ngoài khơi Nam Phi, và kể từ đó nhiều ví dụ khác của cá vây tay đã được tìm thấy ở vùng biển Ấn Độ Dương. Phiên bản hiện đại của cá vây tay không hoàn toàn giống với thời tiền sử của nó. Cá vây tay ngày nay lớn hơn so với tiền sử của nó, có chiều dài lên đến 6 feet và nặng đến 150 pound. Tuy nhiên, phiên bản hiện đại của cá vây tay vẫn có cột sống rỗng đặc trưng và các vây đặc biệt với cấu trúc xương và cơ bất thường của chúng.

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
For a century before the Erie Canal was built, there was much discussion among the general population of the Northeast as to the need for connecting the waterways of the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. A project of such monumental proportions was not going to be undertaken and completed without a supreme amount of effort.
The man who was instrumental in accomplishing the feat that was the Erie Canal was Dewitt Clinton. As early as 1812, he was in the nation's capital petitioning the federal government for financial assistance on the project, emphasizing what a boon to the economy of the country the canal would be; his efforts with the federal government, however, were not successful.
In 1816, Clinton asked the New York State Legislature for the funding for the canal, and this time he did succeed. A canal commission was instituted, and Clinton himself was made head of it. One year later, Clinton was elected governor of the state, and soon after, construction of the canal was started.
The canal took eight years to complete, and Clinton was on the first barge to travel the length of the canal, the Seneca Chief, which departed from Buffalo on October 26, 1825, and arrived in New York City on November
4. Because of the success of the Erie Canal, numerous other canals were built in other parts of the country.

Trong một thế kỷ trước khi kênh đào Erie được xây dựng, đã có nhiều cuộc thảo luận giữa các dân cư nói chung của vùng Đông Bắc về nhu cầu kết nối các tuyến đường thủy của Great Lakes với Đại Tây Dương. Một dự án đồ sộ như vậy sẽ không được thực hiện và hoàn thành mà không có một nỗ lực tối đa. Người đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc thực hiện thành công kênh đào Erie là Dewitt Clinton. Ngay từ năm 1812, ông đã có mặt ở thủ đô của quốc gia yêu cầu chính phủ liên bang hỗ trợ tài chính cho dự án, nhấn mạnh đến lợi ích của nền kinh tế nước này mà kênh đào có thể đem đến; tuy nhiên, những nỗ lực của ông với chính phủ liên bang, đã không thành công.
Năm 1816, Clinton yêu cầu Cơ quan Lập pháp Bang New York tài trợ cho kênh đào, và lần này ông đã thành công. Một ủy ban kênh đào đã được thành lập, và chính Clinton đã được làm chủ. Một năm sau, Clinton được bầu làm thống đốc của bang, và ngay sau đó, việc xây dựng kênh đào đã được bắt đầu.
Kênh đào này mất 8 năm để hoàn thành, và Clinton đã ở trên chiếc sà lan đầu tiên đi dọc theo chiều dài của con kênh, the Seneca Chief, khởi hành từ Buffalo vào ngày 26 tháng 10 năm 1825 và đến thành phố New York vào ngày 4 tháng 11. Vì thành công của kênh đào Erie, nhiều kênh khác được xây dựng ở các vùng khác của đất nước.
