Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education

knows no BOUNDS. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job,
whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes
place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education
can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from
a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability,
education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may
lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in
education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a
lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that
should be AN INTEGRAL part of one's entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern
varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at
school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use
similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are
to be learned, whether THEY are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of
government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being
taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in
their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest
filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the
formalized process of schooling.
36.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The best school teaches a wide variety of subjects
B. Education and schooling are quite different experiences
C. Students benefit from schools, which require long hours and homework
D. The more years students go to school, the better their education is
Dẫn chứng đoạn 1: “The distinction between schooling and education implied
by this remark is important.”
37.What does the author probably mean by using the expression "children
interrupt their education to go to school"?
A. Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial.

B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year.

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 following questions.
Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effects of global
warming. Scientists have already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and

animals, such as flowers blooming earlier and birds hatching earlier in the spring.
Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration patterns
due to warmer temperatures.
With further warming, animals will tend to migrate toward the poles and up
mountainsides toward higher elevations. Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges,
seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm. In many places, however, human
development will prevent these shifts. Spices that find cities or farmland blocking their
way north or south may become extinct. Spices living in unique ecosystems, such
as THOSE found in polar and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because
migration to new habitats is not possible. For example, polar bears and marine
mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by DWINDLING SEA ICE but have
now where farther north to go.
Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult. Some
scientists have estimated that 20 to 50 percent of spices could be committed to
extinction with 2 or 3 Celsius degrees of further warming. The rate of warming, not
just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals. Some species and
even entire ecosystems, such as certain types of forest, may not be able to adjust
quickly enough and may disappear.
Ocean ecosystems, especially FRAGILE ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by
global warming. Warmer ocean temperatures can cause coral to “bleach”, a state
which if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral. Scientists estimate that even 1
Celsius degree of addition warming could lead to widespread bleaching and death of
coral reefs around the world. Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters
the ocean and increases the acidity of ocean waters. This acidification further stresses
ocean ecosystems.
44.The pronoun “those” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. species

B. ecosystems

C. habitats
10

D. areas

45.The phrase “dwindling sea ice” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. the frozen water in the Arctic

46.It is mentioned in the passage that if the global temperature rose by 2 or 3
Celsius degrees, ______.
A. water supply would decrease by 50 percent
B. the sea level would rise by 20 centimeters
C. 20 to 50 percent of species could become extinct
D. half of the earth’s surface would be flooded
47.According to the passage, if some species are not able to adjust quickly to
warmer temperatures, ______.
A. they may be endangered
B. they move to tropical forests
C. they will certainly need water
D. they can begin to develop
Dẫn chứng đoạn thứ ba: “Some species and even entire ecosystems, such as certain
types of forest, may not be able to adjust quickly enough and may disappear.”

“disappear”.
