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 36 to 43.
One of the most difficult questions to answer is how much a job is worth. We naturally expect that a
doctor’s salary will be higher than a bus conductor’s wage. But the question becomes much more difficult to
answer when we compare, say, a miner with an engineer, or an unskilled man working on an oil-rig in the North
Sea with a teacher in a secondary school. What the doctor, the engineer and teacher have is many years of
training in order to obtain the necessary qualifications for their professions. We feel instinctively that these skills
and these years, when they were studying instead of earning money, should be rewarded. At the same time we
recognize that the work of the miner and the oil-rig laborer is both hard and dangerous, and that they must be
highly paid for the risks they take.
Another factor we must take into consideration is how socially useful a man’s work is, regardless of the
talents he may bring to it. Most people would agree that looking after the sick or teaching children is more
important than, say, selling secondhand cars or improving the taste of toothpaste by adding a red stripe to it. Yet
it is almost certain that the used car salesman earns more than the nurse, and that research chemist earns more
than the school teacher.
Indeed, this whole question of just rewards can be turned on its head. You can argue that a man who does
a job which brings him personal satisfaction is already receiving part of his reward in the form of a so-called
“psychic wage”, and that it is the man with the boring, repetitive job who needs more money to make up for the
soul-destroying monotony of his work. It is significant that that those jobs which are traditionally regarded as
“vocations” - nursing, teaching and the Church, for example - continue to be poorly paid, while others, such as
those in the world of sport or entertainment, carry financial rewards out of all proportion to their social worth.
Although the amount of money that people earn is in reality largely determined by market forces, this
should not prevent us from seeking some way to decide what is the right pay for the job. A starting point for such
an investigation would be to try to decide the ratio which ought to exist between the highest and the lowest paid.
The picture is made more complicate by two factors: firstly by the “social wage”, i.e, the welfare benefits which
every citizen receives; and secondly, by the taxation system, which is often used as an instrument of social justice
by taxing high incomes at a very high rate indeed. Allowing for these two things, most countries now regard a
ratio of 7:1 as socially acceptable. If it is less, the highly-qualified people carrying heavy responsibilities become
disillusioned, and might even end up by emigration (the so-called “brain-drain” is an evidence that this can
happen). If it is more, the gap between rich and poor will be so great that it will lead social tensions and

ultimately to violence.
(Adapted from: How much is job worth?)
Question 36: According to the passage, the professional man, such as the doctor, should be well paid because
______.
A. he has spent several years learning how to do his job
B. he knows more than other people about his subject
Trang 3/5 - Mã đề thi 417


C. he has to work much harder than most other people

A. we should pay for socially-useful work, regardless of the person’s talent
B. we should pay people according to their talents
C. qualified people should be the highest paid
D. market forces will determine how much a person is paid
Question 38: The argument of the “psychic wage” is used to explain why ______.
A. people who do socially important work are not always well paid
B. people who do monotonous jobs are highly paid
C. you should not try to compare the pay of different professions
D. some professional people are paid more than others

A. the talented should do more important work
B. unskilled jobs have less social responsibility
C. those with more socially useful jobs earn less
D. people want to pay more to important services
Question 40: It can be inferred from the passage that a man who does a boring, repetitive job __________.
A. receives less money than he deserves
B. should receive more money as a compensation for the drudgery of his work

B. people with jobs or responsibility expect to be highly paid

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 44 to 50.
[1]

Widespread evidence links global warming to a series of environmental effects.
Starving polar bears are eating one another in the Arctic. Flowers are blooming too soon and die. The ice
caps are melting so fast that rising water levels will threaten coastal towns along Florida within several decades.
These are just a few examples of the terrible consequences of climate change discovered by a new research in
Nature that paints a dark portrait of what a warming world will look like in the years to come.
[3]
The researchers analyzed 829 abnormal phenomena - including melting glaciers - along with nearly
30,000 changes in plants and animals and found that about 90% of them are in sync with scientists’ predictions
about how global warming will change the planet.
[4]

“In the past three decades, average global temperatures have risen about 0.6 0C and are projected to
jump by about 1.70C by the end of the century,” says Cynthia Rosenzweig, who leads the Climate Impacts Group
at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies at Columbia University in New York. “We’ve already seen that a
relatively low amount of warming,” she says, “can result in a broad range of changes.”
[5]
The unnatural warming caused by man-made greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide produced by
cars and coal-powered plants, brings trouble for entire ecosystems. In North America alone, scientists have
identified 89 species of plants, such as the American holly, which have flowered earlier in the spring. In Spain,
apple trees bloom 35 days ahead of schedule in response to the higher temperatures. Other wildlife, like the
insects that use certain plants for food and the birds that feed on the insects, must then move forward their
seasonal stirrings and mating patterns to survive.
[6]
To try to follow this time shift, some birds such as robins, the classic symbol of winter’s thaw, are
returning to Colorado from their migrations some two weeks earlier than in years past. All these changes can
throw a food chain in disorder. Some bird species that arrive before the insects reappear may starve to death.
[7]
“Around the world, plants and animals are waking up to an earlier alarm clock than they used to,” says
Terry Root, a biologist from Stanford University.
(Source: />Question 44: The author describes some unnatural phenomena in Paragraph 2 to ______.
[2]

A. scientists made wrong predictions about the future of earth

D. global warming has changed all the plants and animals
Question 46: The word “projected” in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.
A. forced
B. presented
C. indicated
D. predicted
Question 47: Why must some birds move about earlier than usual?
A. Because they need to follow some insects for food.
B. Because certain trees bloom a month ahead of time.
C. Because the warm weather wakes them up earlier.
D. Because the plants they use to hunt food bloom late.
Question 48: According to the fifth paragraph, as a result of climate change _____.
A. the warm weather wakes animals up earlier
B. certain trees bloom a season ahead of time
C. the birds need to change patterns of living
D. the American holly will flower in late spring
