According to paragraph 3, what is NOT mentioned about the virus and its state of spreading?
A. The WHO suggested that all countries can still change the course of this pandemic.
B. The current spreading virus is the second coronavirus to reach pandemic levels.
C. Coronavirus primitively circulates among animals but somehow spreads to human.
D. China is the assumed country of virus origin and where the disease hits the hardest.
Chọn đáp án B
Theo đoạn 3, điều gì KHÔNG được đề cập về vi rút và tình trạng lây lan của nó?
A. WHO đề nghị rằng tất cả các quốc gia vẫn có thể thay đổi diễn biến của đại dịch này.
B. Virus lây lan hiện nay là coronavirus thứ hai đạt mức độ đại dịch.
C. Coronavirus lưu hành cơ bản giữa các loài động vật nhưng bằng cách nào đó lại lây sang người.
D. Trung Quốc là quốc gia được giả định có nguồn gốc vi rút và là nơi dịch bệnh tấn công mạnh nhất.
=> Căn cứ vào thông tin trong đoạn 3:
*Lời giải Chọn đáp án A =>Tedros used the fact that 90% of the cumulative cases have been reported in just four countries as evidence that the rest of the world still had time to prevent an explosion of cases with action.”
(Tedros đã đưa ra sự thật rằng 90 phần trăm các ca nhiễm được cộng dồn lại đã được báo cáo chỉ ở bốn quốc gia và đó là bằng chứng cho thấy rằng các nơi còn lại trên thế giới vẫn còn có thời gian để thực hiện các động thái phòng tránh sự bùng nổ của các ca lây nhiễm.)
*Lời giải Chọn đáp án C, D =>“The virus, which probably originated in bats but passed to peoplevia an as yet unrecognized intermediary animal species, is believed to have started infecting people in Wuhan, China, in late November or early December. Since then the virus has raced around the globe.”
(Con vi rút đó, nó có thể bắt nguồn từ loài dơi nhưng sau đó chúng truyền sang con ngườithông qua một loài động vật trung gian nào đó vẫn chưa được xác định, được tin rằng bắt đầu lây nhiễm những người dân ở Vũ Hán, Trung Quốc, vào cuối tháng 11 hoặc là đầu tháng 12.)
=> Như vậy, ta thấy chỉ có việc con vi rút này có phải là con vi rút thứ hai gây ra đại dịch hay không là không được đề cập trong đoạn 3.

While many behaviors and practices associated with going green are designed to save money, there are certain ways in which green living can actually be moderately to very expensive. Much of the technology associated with green (28) ___________provides benefits to the environment but often at a much higher cost than their traditional counterparts. For instance, the use of solar panels can potentially save you money on your energy bills, but they can (29) ______________ thousands of dollars to install. Energy-efficient appliances are designed to use less electricity and water but they often come with a high price tag.
Going green can also potentially have a negative effect on the environment. (30) _________________, the development of alternative fuels is an innovation in the green movement in an effort to reduce reliance on (31) ___________ natural resources. While these fuels are intended to reduce the toxic emissions caused by the burning of traditional gasoline, they may have unintentionally caused the opposite effect. One of these alternative fuels, E85, actually (32) gives ___________ more ozone into the atmosphere than traditional fuel. While ozone is a natural part of the Earth’s upper atmosphere, if it becomes concentrated in the lower atmosphere, it can potentially increase air pollution in areas where smog is a concern, which can in turn impact the health of those living in these areas.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 37.
May 1 is marked as International Labour Day, also referred as May Day. The day celebrates labourers and the working class. Labour Day is an annual public holiday in many countries. It is also referred as International Workers' Day or just Worker's Day.
During industrialization in beginning of the 19th Century, the industrialists used to exploit the labour class and made them work up to 15 hours a day. The workers in the U.S. rose against this exploitation and demanded paid leaves, proper wages and breaks for the workforce. The eight-hour day labour movement advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest. The Labour Day annually celebrates the achievements of the workers.
The day has different story for different places. May 1 was chosen to be International Workers' Day to commemorate the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago. In that year, on May 1, there was a general strike for the eight-hour workday. On May 4, the police acted to disperse a public assembly in support of the strike when an unidentified person threw a bomb. The police responded by firing on the workers. The event lead to several deaths. The incident is remembered as the Haymarket affair, or the Haymarket massacre. The place in Haymarket Square where the incident happened was designated a Chicago Landmark in 1992.
Labour Day or May Day has been a focal point of protests by various socialist and communist groups and is an important holiday in communist countries like China, North Korea, Cuba and the former Soviet Union countries. In India, the first Labour day or May Day was celebrated in the year 1923. It was the Labour Kisan Party who had organised the May Day celebrations in Chennai (then Madras).Câu 33: What is main topic of the passage?
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 38 to 45.
The World Health Organization on Wednesday declared the rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that “We expect to see the number of cases, the number of deaths, and the number of affected countries climb even higher.”
WHO officials had said earlier they were hesitant to call the outbreak a pandemic in case it led governments and individuals to give up the fight. On Wednesday, they stressed that fundamental public health interventions can still limit the spread of the virus and drive down cases even where it was transmitting widely, as the work of authorities and communities in China, Singapore, and South Korea has shown.
The virus, which probably originated in bats but passed to people via an as yet unrecognized intermediary animal species, is believed to have started infecting people in Wuhan, China, in late November or early December. Since then the virus has raced around the globe. South Korea, which has reported nearly 8,000 cases, also appears poised to bring its outbreak under control with aggressive measures and widespread testing. But other countries have struggled to follow the leads of China and South Korea — a reality that has frustrated WHO officials who have exhorted the world to do everything possible to end transmission of the virus. Tedros used the fact that 90% of the cumulative cases have been reported in just four countries as evidence that the rest of the world still had time to prevent an explosion of cases with action.
WHO officials also stressed that countries should be implementing a strategic combination two types of measures. One involves trying to detect and stop known chains of transmission by isolating cases and following and potentially quarantining their contacts. The other involves community-level steps like social distancing and comes into play when the virus is spreading more broadly and transmission chains can’t be tracked. Mike Ryan, the head of the WHO’s emergency program, said that the public health interventions might not have straightforward effect, but to slow the spread of the virus. People with severe cases can require long periods of critical care and strain the resources of hospitals. He said he was worried about “the case load, the demand on the health workers, the dangers that come with fatigue, and potentially shortages of personal protective equipment.”Câu 38: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
