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.
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by
being corrected all the time. If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a
thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those
around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like

other people’s. In the same way, children learn all the other things they learn to do
without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own
performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes.
But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone
correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a
mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he
becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help
of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem,
whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the
answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on
such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find
the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exams, and marks.
Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must

someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or
do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help
as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be
learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated
and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to
learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry!
If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.
Question 6: What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?
A. By listening to explanations from skilled people
B. By making mistakes and having them corrected
C. By asking a great many questions
D. By copying what other people do
Question 7: The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are
___________.
A. basically the same as learning other skills

B. more important than other skills

C. basically different from learning adult skills D. not really important skills

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.
The concept of obtaining fresh water from iceberg that is towed to populated areas and

arid regions of the world was once treated as a joke more appropriate to cartoons than
real life. But now it is being considered quite seriously by many nations, especially since
scientists have warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than
it runs out of food. Glaciers are a possible source of fresh water that has been overlooked
until recently. (A)
Three-quarters of the Earth's fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice, a reservoir
of untapped fresh water so immense that it could sustain all the rivers of the world for
1,000 years. Floating on the oceans every year are 7,659 trillion metric tons of ice
encased in 10,000 icebergs that break away from the polar

ice

caps, more than ninety

percent of them from Antarctica. (B)
Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs
throughout the year. Icebergs are not like sea ice, which is formed when the sea itself
freezes; rather, they are formed entirely on land, breaking off when glaciers spread over
the sea. As they drift away from the polar region, icebergs sometimes move mysteriously
in a direction opposite to the wind, pulled by subsurface currents. Because they melt
more slowly than smaller pieces of ice, icebergs have been known to drift as far north as
35 degrees south of the equator in the Atlantic Ocean. (C)
The difficulty arises in other technical matters, such as the prevention of rapid melting in
warmer climates and the funneling of fresh water to shore in great volume. But even if
the icebergs lost half of their volume in towing, the water they could provide would be


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

far cheaper than that produced by desalination, or removing salt from water. (D)

Question 43: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The movement of glaciers

B. Icebergs as a source of fresh water

C. Future water shortages

D. The future of the world's rivers

Question 44: The word “arid” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
___________.
A. anhydrous

B. fruitful

C. remote

D. distant

Question 45: The word "it" in the first paragraph refers to ___________.
A. an iceberg that is towed

B. obtaining fresh water from icebergs

C. the population of arid areas

D. real life

Question 46: According to the author, most of the world's fresh water is to be found in
___________.

A. oceans

B. rivers

C. glaciers

D. reservoirs

Question 47: The word “currents” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to
___________.
A. pulls

B. waves

C. weather

D. flows of water

Question 48: How are icebergs formed?
A. They break off from glaciers

B. Seawater freezes

C. Rivers freeze

D. Small pieces of floating ice converge

Question 49: With which of the following ideas would the author be likely to agree?
A. Towing icebergs to dry areas is economically possible
B. Desalination of water is the best way to obtain drinking water

C. Using water from icebergs is a very short-term solution to water shortages
D. Icebergs could not be towed very far before they would melt
Question 50: Which is the best place where the following sentence will most properly fit?
"To corral them and steer them to parts of the world where they are needed would not
be too difficult."
A.
