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.
There has been much debate over the past few years concerning fears that automation will lead to robots
replacing human workers on a massive scale.
The increasing use of robotics, computers and artificial intelligence is a reality, but its full implications
are far from cut and dried. Some forecasts present the future in a utopian way, claiming that robots will
take over the tedious heavy work thus freeing up human time and potential, allowing for more creativity
and innovation. At the other end of spectrum are those who foresee an employment apocalypse,
predicting that almost fifty percent of all American jobs could vanish within the next few decades.
Former Microsoft chairman Bill Gates states that in 20 years robots could be in place in a number of job
categories, particularly those at lower end of the scale in terms of skills.
The bottom line is that while the future is always uncertain, robots are a fixture of our society, which is
not going to disappear. As with the Industrial Revolution, where machines were utilized in many tasks in
place of manual laborers and social upheaval followed, the Digital Revolution is likely to place robots in
various jobs. In spite of that, many of today’s jobs were not in existence before the Industrial Revolution,
such as those of programmers, engineers and data scientists. This leads other experts to criticize this
alarmist approach of robot scare-mongering, which is invariably compared to the 19th-century
“Luddites”. This group was textile workers who feared being displaced by machines and resorted to
violence, burning down factories and destroying industrial equipment – their rejection of inevitable
progress has come to symbolize mindless ignorance.
Needless to say, exactly what new kinds of jobs might exist in the future is difficult to envision at present.
Therefore, the crux of the issue is not whether jobs will be lost, but whether the creation of new vacancies
will outpace the ever-increasing number of losses and what skills will be required in the future.
It is clearly not all doom and gloom, as demand for employees with skills in data analysis, coding,
computer science, artificial intelligence and human-machine interface is rising and will continue to do so.
Furthermore, the demand for skills in jobs where humans surpass computers, such as those involving
care, creativity and innovative craftsmanship, are likely to increase considerably. Ultimately, the key lies
in the adaptation of the workforces, through appropriate education and training, to keep pace with our
world’s technological progress.

Tsunami is a Japanese word that means harbor wave and is used as the scientific term for seismic
sea wave generated by an undersea earthquake or possibly an undersea landslide or volcanic eruption.
When the ocean floor is tilted or offset during an earthquake, a set of waves is created similar to the
concentric waves generated by an object dropped into the water. Most tsunamis originate along the Ring
of Fire, a zone of volcanoes and seismic activity, 32,500 km long that encircles the Pacific Ocean. Since
1819, about 40 tsunamis have struck the Hawaiian Islands.
tsunami can have wavelengths, or widths, of 100 to 200 km, and may travel hundreds of kilometers
across the deep ocean, reaching speeds of about 725 to 800 kilometres an hour. Upon entering shallow
coastal waters, the wave, which have been only about half a metre high out at sea, suddenly grows
rapidly. When the wave reaches the shore, it may be 15 m high or more. Tsunamis have tremendous
energy because of the great volume of water affected. They are capable of obliterating coastal
settlements.
Tsunamis should not be confused with storm surges, which are domes of water that rise underearth
hurricanes or cyclones and cause extensive coastal flooding when the storms reach land. Storm surges are
particularly devastating if they occur at high tide. A cyclone and accompanying storm surges killed an
estimated 500,000 people in Bangladesh in 1970. The tsunami which struck south and southeast Asia in
late 2004 killed over 200 thousand people.

Trang 6
Câu 82 (NB): What is the greatest speed of tsunami travelling across the deep ocean?

C. 700 kilometres an hour D. 800 kilometres an hour

A. Volumes of water B. Coastal waters C. Coastal settlements D. Tsunamis

A. Storm surges are domes of water rising underearth hurricanes or cyclones.

C. Tsunami only occurs in Asia.
D. A cyclone along with storm surges happened in Asia in 1970.

to each of the questions.
The first two stages in the development of civilized man were probably the invention of primitive
weapons and the discovery of fire, although nobody knows exactly when he acquired the use of the latter.
The origin of language is also obscure. No doubt it began very gradually. Animals have a few cries that
serve as signals, but even the highest apes have not been found able to pronounce words, even with the
most intensive professional instruction. The superior brain of man is apparently a necessity for the
mastering of speech. When man became sufficiently intelligent, we must suppose that he gradually
increased the number of cries for different purposes. It was a great day when he discovered that speech
could be used for narrative. There are those who think in this respect picture language preceded oral
language. A man could draw a picture on the wall of his cave to show in which direction he had gone, or
what prey he hoped to catch. Probably picture language and oral language developed side by side. I am
inclined to think that language has been the most important single factor in the development of man.
Two important stages came not so long before the dawn of written history. The first was the
domestication of animals; the second was agriculture. Agriculture was a step in human progress to which
subsequently there was nothing comparable until our own machine age. Agriculture made possible an
immense increase in the number of the human species in the regions where it could be successfully
practiced. These were, at first, only those in which nature fertilized the soil after each harvest. Agriculture
met with violent resistance from the pastoral nomads, but the agricultural way of life prevailed in the end
because of the physical comforts it provided.
Another fundamental technical advance was writing, which, like spoken language, developed out of
pictures, but as soon as it had reached a certain stage, it was possible to keep records and transmit
information to people who were not present when the information was given.
These inventions and discoveries - fire, speech, weapons, domestic animals, agriculture, and writing -
made the existence of civilized communities possible. From about 3000 B. C. until the beginning of the
Industrial Revolution less than two hundred years ago there was no technical advance comparable to
these. During this long period man had time to become accustomed to his technique, and to develop the
beliefs and political organizations appropriate to it There was, of course, an immense extension in the
area of civilized life. At first it had been confined to the Nile, the Euphrates, the Tigris and the Indus, but
at the end of the period in question it covered much the greater part of the inhabitable globe. I do not
mean to suggest that there was no technical progress during this long time; there was progress—there
were even two inventions of very great importance, namely gunpowder and the mariner’s compass—but
neither of these can be compared in their power to such things as speech and writing and agriculture.
(Adapted from “The Development of Human Civilization”)

The sculptural legacy that the new United States inherited from its colonial predecessors was far
from a rich one, and in fact, in 1776 sculpture as an art form was still in the hand of artisans and
craftspeople. Stone carvers engraved their motifs of skulls and crossbones and other religious icons of
death into the gray slabs that we still see standing today in old burial grounds. Some skilled craftspeople
made intricately carved wooden ornamentations for furniture or architectural decorations, while others
carved wooden shop signs and ships' figureheads. Although they often achieved expression and formal
excellence in their generally primitive style, they remained artisans skilled in the craft of carving and
constituted a group distinct from what we normally think of as "sculptors" in today's use of the word.
On the rare occasion when a fine piece of sculpture was desired, Americans turned to foreign
sculptors, as in the 1770's when the cities of New York and Charleston, South Carolina, commissioned
the Englishman Joseph Wilton to make marble statues of William Pitt. Wilton also made a lead equestrian
image of King George III that was created in New York in 1770 and torn down by zealous patriots six
years later. A few marble memorials with carved busts, urns, or other decorations were produced in
England and brought to the colonies to be set in the walls of churches - as in King's Chapel in Boston. But
sculpture as a high art, practiced by artists who knew both the artistic theory of their Renaissance-
Baroque-Rococo predecessors and the various technical procedures of modeling, casting, and carving rich
three-dimensional forms, was not known among Americans in 1776. Indeed, for many years thereafter,
the United States had two groups from which to choose - either the local craftspeople or the imported
talent of European sculptors.
The eighteenth century was not one in which powered sculptural conceptions were developed. Add
to this the timidity with which unschooled artisans originally trained as stonemasons, carpenters, or
cabinetmakers - attacked the medium from which they sculpture made in the United States in the late
eighteenth century.
