VI. 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 from 46 to 55.
"The economic history of the United States", one scholar has written, "is the history of the rise and
development of the capitalistic system". The colonists of the eighteenth century pushed forward what those of
the seventeenth century have begun: the expansion and elaboration of an economy born in the great age of
capitalist expansion.
Our excellent natural resources paved the way for the development of abundant capital to increase our
growth. Capital includes the tools - such as: machines, vehicles, and buildings - that makes the outputs of labor
and resources more valuable. But it also includes the funds necessary to buy those tools. If a society had to
consume everything it produced just to stay alive, nothing could be put aside to increase future productions.
But if a farmer can grow more corn than his family needs to eat, he can use the surplus as seed to increase the
next crop, or to feed workers who build tractors. This process of capital accumulation was aided in the
American economy by our cultural heritage. Saving played an important role in the European tradition. It
contributed to put something aside today for the tools to buy tomorrow.
The great bulk of the accumulated wealth of America, as from what was consumed, was derived either directly
or indirectly from trade. Though some manufacturing existed, its role in the accumulation of capital was
negligible (không đáng kể). A merchant class of opulent proportions was already visible in the seaboard cities,
its wealth as the obvious consequence of shrewd and resourceful management of the carrying trade. Even the rich
planters of tidewater Virginia and the rice coast of South Carolina finally depended for their genteel way of life
upon the ships and merchants who sold their tobacco and rice in the markets of Europe. As colonial production
rose and trade expanded, a business community emerged in the colonies, linking the provinces by lines of trade
and identity of interest.

A. resource B. capital C. labour D. growth

A. factories B. tractors C. money D. workers

correct answer to each of the questions from 61 to 70.
The ocean bottom - a region nearly 2.5 times greater than the total land area of the Earth - is a vast frontier
that even today is largely unexplored and uncharteD. Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean floor was
completely inaccessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3,600 meters deep. Totally without light and
subjected to intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth's surface, the deep-ocean bottom is
a hostile environment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of outer space
Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the first
detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968, with the beginning of the
National Science Foundation's Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP).Using techniques first developed for the
Tuyệt Đỉnh Luyện Đề Tiếng Anh THPT Quốc Gia 2015 6
offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDP's drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady
position on the ocean's surface and drill in very deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rock from
ocean floor.
The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15-year research program that ended in November 1983.
During this time, the vessel logged 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 core samples of seabed
sediments and rocks at 624 drilling sites around the world. The Glomar Challenger's core samples have allowed
geologists to reconstruct what the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to calculate what it
will probably look like millions of years in the future. Today, largely on the strength of evidence gathered
during the Glomar Challenger's voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics and
continental drift that explain many of the geological processes that shape the Earth.
The cores of sediment drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also yielded information critical to
understanding the world's past climates. Deep-ocean sediments provide a climatic record stretching back
hundreds of millions of years, because they are largely isolated from the mechanical erosion and the intense
chemical and biological activity that rapidly destroy much land-based evidence of past climates. This record has
already provided insights into the patterns and causes of past climatic change - information that may be used to
predict future climates.

A. the land B. the ocean C. the frontier D. the earth

B. the Earth's climate millions of years ago was similar to conditions in outer space.
C. it is similar to the ocean floor in being alien to the human environment
D. techniques used by scientists to explore outer space were similar to those used in ocean exploration
