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 - Ma dé 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 tured 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 .

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.

Section 2: 87. Section 3: 88. Section 4: 89. Section 5: 90. Section 6: From Black Box to Blue Box Section I ‘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 Bé Tiéng Anh — Chuyén Anh — Trang 2/4LUYEN THI ONLINE (ZOOh: OTTO CHANNE}. has been made possible thanks to advances in underwater electrUnio fapdink, &nil AGscémusing 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 (1,500Ib) 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. Dé Tiéng Anh — Chuyén 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 tums 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. IV.

In fact, you can be afraid of anything and there is almost certainly a name for it. You can be afraid of clouds, certain colors, bicycles, rain, mushrooms, and even sitting down. Apparently, the list of phobia gets longer everyday, but for people who have a real terror of something, help is (29) hand. Researchers are making enormous progress (30) understanding what a phobia is and what makes it come (31) . It is surprising how many people think they suffer from a phobia when actually all they are really experiencing is a strong dislike or distaste (32) something, You may think you are computer phobic and want to throw your machine out of the nearest window, But that is not the same as being really ‘mechanophobic’, suffering from a racing heart and being short of breath (33) the mere sight of a computer. Experts say that you cannot mistake a true phobia (34) anything else as it affects the whole of your nervous system. If you cannot run away from whatever is causing the fear, you feel that death is inevitable, On the other hand, it’s natural for most people to be afraid if they are aboard an airplane which is flying into a storm, Most psychologists agree that phobias can be described (35) three main ways: social phobias, panic disorders, and specific phobias. 26. at 27. with 28. to 29. at 30. in 31. about 32. for 2BYBN THI ONLINE (oom 34. for 35. in OTTO CHANNEL huvén Anh & HSG céc c# IV.

(I point) There are many theories about the beginning of drama in ancient Greece. The one most widely accepted today is based on the assumption that drama evolved from ritual. The argument for this view goes as follows. In the beginning, human beings viewed the natural forces of the world, even the seasonal changes, as unpredictable, and they sought, through various means, to control these unknown and feared powers. Those measures which appeared to bring the desired results were then retained and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Eventually stories arose which explained or veiled the mysteries of the rites. As time passed some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted and provided material for art and drama. Coraurune Dé Tiéng Anh — Chuyén Anh ~ Trang 4/1010 Those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rites 11 contained the seed of theater because music, dances, masks, and costumes were almost 12. always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances, and when the 13. entire community did not participate, a clear division was usually made between the “acting 14 area” and the “auditorium.” In addition, there were performers, and, since considerable 15 importance was attached to avoiding mistakes in the enactment of rites, religious leaders 16 usually assumed that task. Wearing masks and costumes, they often impersonated other 17 people, animals, or supernatural beings, and mimed the desired effect - success in hunt or 18 battle, the coming rain, the revival of the Sun - as an actor might. Eventually such dramatic 19. representations were separated from religious activities. 20 Another theory traces the theater's origin from the human interest in storytelling, 21 According to this view, tales (about the hunts, wars, or other feats) are gradually elaborated, 22 at first through the use of impersonations, actions, and dialogues by a narrator and then 23. through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person.

(1 point) Snake Oil A Back in the days of America’s Wild West, when cowboys roamed the range and people were getting themselves caught up in gunfights, a new phrase ~ ‘snake oil’ — entered the language. It was a dismissive term for the patent medicines, often useless, sold by travelling traders who always claimed miraculous cures for everything from baldness to snakebite. Selling ‘snake oil” was almost as risky a business as cattle stealing; you might be run out of town if your particular medicine, as you realised it would, failed to live up to its claims. Consequently, the smarter ‘snake oil’ sellers left town before their customers had much chance to evaluate the ‘cure’ they had just bought. B ‘The remarkable thing about many of the medicines dismissed then as ‘snake oil’ is not so much that they failed to live up to the outrageous claims made for them — those that weren’t harmless coloured water could be positively dangerous. What’s remarkable is that so many of the claims made for some of these remedies, or at least their ingredients, most of them plant bé Tiéng Anh — Chuyén Anh — Trang 6/10based, have since been found to have at least some basis in fact. One, Echinacea, eventually tumed out to be far more potent than even its original promoter claimed. Echinacea first appeared in ‘Mayer's Blood Purifier’, promoted as a cure-all by a Dr H.C.P. Meyer ~ a lay doctor with no medical qualifications. ‘Mayer’s Blood Purifier’ claimed not only to cure snakebite, but also to eliminate a host of other ailments. c Native to North America, the roots of Echinacea, or purple coneflower, had been used by the Plains Indians for all kinds of ailments long before Meyer came along. They applied poultices of it to wounds and stings, used it for teeth and gum disease and made a tea from it to treat everything from colds and measles to arthritis. They even used it for snakebite. D Settlers quickly picked up on the plant’s usefulness but until Meyer sent samples of his ‘blood purifier’ to John Lloyd, a pharmacist, it remained a folk remedy. Initially dismissing Meyer’s claims as nonsense, Lloyd was eventually converted after a colleague, John King, tested the herb and successfully used it to treat bee stings and nasal congestions. In fact, he went much further in his claims that Meyer ever did and by the 1890s a bottle of tincture of Echinacea could be found in almost every American home, incidentally making a fortune for Lloyd’s company, Lloyd Brothers Pharmacy. E As moder antibiotics became available, the use of Echinacea products declined and from the 1940s to the 1970s it was pretty much forgotten in the USA. It was a different story in Europe, where both French and German herbalists and homeopaths continued to make extensive use of it. It had been introduced there by Gerhard Madaus, who travelled from Germany to America in 1937, returning with seed to establish commercial plots of Echinacea. His firm conducted extensive research on echinacin, a concentrate they made from the juice of flowering tops of the plants he had brought back. It was put into ointments, liquids for internal and external use, and into products for injections. F ‘There is no evidence that Echinacea is effective against snakebite, but Dr Mayer — who genuinely believed in Echinacea ~ would probably be quite amused if he could come back and see the uses to which modern science has put ‘his’ herb. He might not be surprised that science has confirmed Echinacea’s role as a treatment for wounds, or that it has been found to be helpful in relieving arthritis, both claims Mayer made for the herb. He might though be surprised to learn how Echinacea is proving to be an effective weapon against all sorts of disease, particularly infections. German researchers had used it successfully to treat a range of infections and found it to be effective against bacteria and protozoa. There are many other intriguing medical possibilities for extracts from the herb, but its apparent ability to help with our more common ailments has seen thousands of people become enthusiastic converts. Dozens of packaged products containing extracts of Echinacea can now be found amongst the many herbal remedies and supplements on the shelves of health stores and pharmacies. Many of those might be the modeppyaaiyi s of ‘snake oil’, but Echinacea at least does seem to have some practical value. or HTN Ene (200m; TOC en HANNEL (Cambridge English Tests - IELTS) én An| ~ For questions 71-76: Choose the correct headisif¥6f @fh of the paragraphs (A-F) from the list of headings below.

(0 questions x 0.1 point = I point) Psychologists are interested in the reasons why some people like taking part in risky sports. When they studied people who were learning to jump from a plane with a parachute, they found that the parachutists’ bodies produced large amounts of two hormones, adrenaline and nor adrenaline, just before they made their jump. These hormones help to prepare us for any sudden activity. Adrenaline increases the heart rate and provides more sugar for the muscles, while nor adrenaline makes us react more quickly. However, nor adrenaline also stimulates the part of the brain which controls feelings of pleasure. Some psychologists have concluded that it is a feeling of pleasure caused by this hormone that makes certain people want to participate in dangerous sports. Another possible reason is the level of arousal in part of the brain. According to some psychologists, the brain tries to maintain a certain level of arousal. They believe that people who normally have a low level of arousal look for excitement and new experiences in order to stimulate themselves, whereas people who usually have a high level of arousal try to avoid risks and unfamiliar situations in order not to become over excited. If the psychologists are right, people with a low arousal are the ones who enjoy participating in dangerous sports and activities. It is thought that people with low levels of arousal have a slower-reacting nervous system than people with higher arousal levels. It may therefore be possible to find out your level of arousal by testing your nervous system. A quick way of doing this is to put some lemon juice on your tongue. If you produce a lot of saliva, your nervous system has been affected by the lemon and so you probably have a high level of arousal. If you produce little saliva, you probably have a low arousal level. If you have a low level, you might enjoy taking part in risky sports.

Why being bored is stimulating — and useful, too The most common of emotions is turning out to be more interesting than we thought A We all know how it feels — it’s impossible to keep your mind on anything, time stretches out, and all the things you could do seem equally unlikely to make you feel better. But defining boredom so that it can be studied in the lab has proved difficult. For a start, it can include a lot of other mental states, such as frustration, apathy, depression and indifference. There isn’t even agreement over whether boredom is always a low-energy, flat kind of emotion or whether feeling agitated and restless counts as boredom, too. In his book, Boredom: A Lively History, Peter Toohey at the University of Calgary, Canada, compares it to disgust — an emotion that motivates us to stay away from certain situations. ‘If disgust protects humans from infection, boredom may protect them from “infectious” social situations,’ he suggests, B By asking people about their experiences of boredom, Thomas Goetz and his team at the University of Konstanz in Germany have recently identified five distinct types: indifferent, calibrating, searching, reactant, and apathetic, These can be plotted on two axes — one running left to right, which measures low to high arousal, and the other from top Dé Tiéng Anh — Chuyén Anh ~ Trang 6/10UYEN THI ONLINE (200W OTTO CHANNEL hnvan Anh & HSG cae cf to bottom, which measures how positive or negative the feeling is, Intriguingly, Goetz has found that while people experience all kinds of boredom, they tend to specialise in one. Of the five types, the most damaging is ‘reactant’ boredom with its explosive combination of high arousal and negative emotion. The most useful is what Goetz calls ‘indifferent’ boredom: someone isn’t engaged in anything satisfying but still feels relaxed and calm However, it remains to be seen whether there are any character traits that predict the kind of, boredom each of us might be prone to. Psychologist Sandi Mann at the University of Central Lancashire, UK, goes further. “All emotions are there for a reason, including boredom,’ she says. Mann has found that being bored makes us more creative, ‘We're all afraid of being bored but in actual fact it can lead to all kinds of amazing things,’ she says. In experiments published last year, Mann found that people who had been made to feel bored by copying numbers out of the phone book for 15 minutes came up with more creative ideas about how to use a polystyrene cup than a control group. Mann concluded that a passive, boring activity is best for creativity because it allows the mind to wander. In fact, she goes so far as to suggest that we should seek out more boredom in our lives. Psychologist John Eastwood at York University in Toronto, Canada, isn’t convinced. “If you are in a state of mind-wandering you are not bored,’ he says. ‘In my view, by definition boredom is an undesirable state.’ That doesn’t necessarily mean that it isn’t adaptive, he adds. ‘Pain is adaptive — if we didn’t have physical pain, bad things would happen to us. Does that mean that we should actively cause pain? No. But even if boredom has evolved to help us survive, it can still be toxic if allowed to fester.’ For Eastwood, the central feature of boredom is a failure to put our ‘attention system’ into gear. This causes an inability to focus on anything, which makes time seem to go painfully slowly. What's more, your efforts to improve the situation can end up making you feel worse. ‘People try to connect with the world and if they are not successful there’s that frustration and irritability,” he says. Pethaps most worryingly, says Eastwood, repeatedly failing to engage attention can lead to a state where we don’t know what to do any more, and no longer care. Eastwood's team is now trying to explore why the attention system fails. It’s early days but they think that at least some of it comes down to personality. Boredom proneness has been linked with a variety of traits. People who are motivated by pleasure seem to suffer particularly badly. Other personality traits such as curiosity are associated with a high boredom threshold. More evidence that boredom has detrimental effects comes from studies of people who are more or Jess prone to boredom. It seems those who bore easily face poorer prospects in education, their career and even life in general. But of course, boredom itself cannot kill - it’s the things we do to deal with it that may put us in danger. What can we do to alleviate it before it comes to that? Goetz’s group has one suggestion. Working with teenagers, they found that those who ‘approach’ a boring situation — in other words, see that it’s boring and get stuck in anyway — report less boredom than those who try to avoid it by using snacks, TV or social media for distraction. Psychologist Francoise Wemelsfelder speculates that our over-connected lifestyles might even be a new sources of boredom. ‘In modern human society there is a lot of overstimulation but stil a lot of problems finding meaning,” she says. So instead of seeking yet more mental stimulation, perhaps we should leave our phones alone, and use boredom to motivate us to engage with the world in a more meaningful way.
