A. PHẦN DỊCH TỪ ANH SANG VIỆT:
UNIT 1:
One of the best times to see a great city is early in the morning before the sun has risen. With its
shops shut, its normally crowded streets quiet and deserted, it looks as if everyone had left in a
hurry leaving all their possessions behind them. A bicycle propped up against the wall; cars
stand idle by the roadside; a page of yesterday’s evening paper flutters noisily down the street,
carried here and there by the wind, until it wraps itself round a lamp - post. The streets are
marked by an absence of color. In autumn, brown leaves, still untorn by trampling feet, cling to
the wet pavements as the trees are slowly stripped of their leaves.
Everything is strangely silent, but it is never completely quiet. The clanking of milk - cans in the
distance tells you that the milk - man has begun his rounds. A lone dog pads softly past. Foot steps ring down the street. You turn and find that it is a policeman, a roadsweeper, or just like
yourself, a passer - by. Whoever it is, he will greet you with a friendly “Good morning”. At this
hour, everyone is friendly. It is still too early for people to rush past in a hurry with strained faces
and somewhere to get to. Sometimes you come across a man in evening - dress, singing to
himself, and swaying unsteadily by the roadside. As you pass, he bids you a cheery “Good
night”, unaware that tomorrow is already here.
When the sun begins to rise, the best vantage point is a bridge. The river has been left to itself; it
looks clean and fresh. At this time of the day, it really is a river, not just an obstacle to get across.
It flows quietly past the boats and barges still tied to their mooring. In the distance, the first rays
of sunlight strike against the tallest spires, domes, and monuments. Buildings begin to look less
somber, as if they were stirring out of sleep.
UNIT 2
The town of Deadwood in South Dakota became famous in the nineteenth century when gold
was discovered there. Gold attracted many fortune - hunters good and bad. Heroes like
“Deadwood Dick” the stage - coach driver have become as familiar as Robinson Crusoe. The
town itself acquired an extraordinary reputation and came to be known as the place where “the
coward never started and the weak died on the way”.
Bad men come and go, but the biggest villain in Deadwood has always been one thing: fire. The
little town is built on the steep sides of the deep valley. If a fire breaks out, this valley acts like a
chimney and sucks the flames up to the houses. In 1879 fire destroyed the town completely.
When it was re - built, special water - barrels were fitted into every roof.
In our own times, a great fire threatened the town yet again. It all began when some waste paper caught alight at the foot of the valley. In less than an hour the flames were leaping through
the tree - tops. The wind roared through the forest carrying the flames almost to the edge of the
town. Fire – brigades arrived from all parts of the country to save Deadwood.
Meanwhile, women and children prepared to leave the town. They seized as many of their
belongings as they could, and cars piled high with clothing packed the streets. The wind changed
direction and it seemed as though no car would be able to leave; then it changed again and a long
line of cars moved quickly out of the town.
2
As if this fire was not enough, the panic - stricken inhabitants heard that another fire had broken
out twenty miles away near a town called Nemo. If these two fires joined, they would get quite
out of control. Firemen desperately fought the flames for twenty - four hours and in the end
airplanes were used as well. The planes began ‘bombing’ the fire with water and so prevented
the two fires from joining forces. The big fire began to lose the battle and people who had left
came home. They found a blackened valley, but their houses were still standing. Deadwood had
been saved from its worst enemy just in time.
UNIT 3
The ship first appeared as asmall speck on the horizon. We had grown impatient at the delay and
cheered when we caught sight of it. For most of us this was an important event, because the
small object that had come into view was a troopship. Husbands, fathers, brothers and friends
were coming home after an absence of four years. We were informed over the microphone that
the ship would be in the harbour in about three - quarters of an hour’s time. We did not need
telling and cheered more loudly than ever.
The harbour had rarely witnessed such a colorful spectacle. It was decked out with flags and
because the day was warm, we were all wearing gay summer frocks and looking our best for the
occasion. The time we waited seemed endless; but little by little the speck took the form of a ship
and, in a short time, it came so near that we could make out its name: Candia, printed in large
letters on the prow.
Now a crowd of about five hundred could hardly be held back. People were jumping up and
down, waving; and little boys climbed on to stationary vehicles to get a better view. As the tugs
piloted the great ship into the habour, everybody peered eagerly at the troops lined along the
railings. Soldiers on board waved to us wildly, shouting out the names of people they recognized
or wanted to see. The two young men in the crowd who were holding a big banner with
“Welcome home!” painted on it almost fell over on their excitement to lift it higher. An old man
put his hat on the top of his walking - stick and twirled it round and round until it slipped off and
fell into the sea. Women were crying; others laughing; and some did not quite know whether to
laugh or cry. Someone called out “There’s your daddy!” and a small boy of four was held high in
the air to see his father whom he had never seen before. Now the troops were directly above us.
Our excitement had mounted to a peak, for soon they would disembark!
UNIT 4
The market - place was crowded. Everywhere people were buying, selling, arguing about prices,
or looking very pleased with themselves at having discovered a bargain. The owners of stalls
were advertising their wares as the best in the world and shouting at the tops of their voices to
prove it. There was so much movement that no one noticed a small boy pushing his way through
the crowd. Even the fat man examining a pair of silver candlesticks barely looked down as the
boy brushed past him. Judging from the condition of his patched but scrupulously clean clothes,
the boy was obviously very poor. In his right hand he clutched a penny and walked with such a
sense of purpose that it was clear he knew his way well.
The child arrived at a clearing behind a bombed site and went towards an old man who was
playing a violin. Beside the man was a little monkey dressed in a red cap and performing various
antics on a stand. The monkey held the old man’s hat and offered it to passers - by. As the boy
gazed fascinated at the animal, the old man looked down at him and smiled kindly. Several
minutes passed and the boy tried to put his penny into the hat. The monkey, however, gave the
hat a playfull pull and the boy could not reach it. He stood on tip - toe and tried again. In his
effort to reach, he knocked the stand over accidentally. The monkey chattered wildly and pennies
went flying everywhere. The old man’s smile turned to a look of anger and he struck at the boy
with the bow of his violin. Dodging the blow, the child dashed into the crowd. The man began
shouting: “Stop thief! Stop thief!” and soon a small crowd was in pursuit of the boy. In his terror,
3
the child fell headlong into an apple - cart and turned it over. This at once brought a furious stall
- keeper into the chase, and the whole market - place was in an uproar: people began to run
without knowing why. But there was no one who knew his way about as well as the boy who, by
now, had slipped down a side - street and crouched in a doorway. Huddled in fear, he watched
the angry crowd rush past.

A PRICE TO PAY
Danger when a computer becomes your best friend
0. Many of Britain’s children are becoming computer addicts, according to the leading
education specialists. Such children then lose interest in anything else and become withdrawn
and introverted.
1. Up to one in ten youngsters – over half a million – are affected. The problem usually starts
between the age of nine and eleven and most often affects boys, who tend to get more
involved with machines than girls. They spend up to 40 hour a week tapping away.
6
2. “These children are unable to relate to friend and family or express their feelings”, says Mrs.
Noel Janis-Norton, a specialist in treating problem children and adults. They behave badly at
school and at home – and when desperate parents forbid them to use computers, they find
ways to use the computers in secret and deceive their parents. The result is that they often fail
school tests and lose friends. But they do not care. The computer has become their best – and
sometime their only – friend.
3. Mrs. Janis-Norton says children who have difficulty communicating are hit by this problem.
“A child who is energetic and outgoing is unlikely to become a computer addict, although
any kind of child can enjoy the computer,” she says. “There is a big difference between use
and abuse. Often the problem continues into the late teens and sometimes into adult life,
where the addict becomes increasingly shut off from reality.
4. Mrs. Janis-Norton adds “The situation changes when they have to be anxious about. Many
grow out of it when they leave home. Like any other nervous condition, such as asthma, it
hardly exists in the summer holidays.
5. Most children who have this kind of nervous complaint are not doing as well at school as
they could. Now teachers are being asked to look for the more obvious patterns of behaviour.
The National Union of Teachers has already warned its staff to identify pupils who become
restless and agitated.
6. Tony Miller, one of the teachers’ union spokesmen, says parents should limit the amount of
time their children spend at the machines. He adds: “Very young children take to computer
like fish to water. It seems to be like the problem of obsessive TV-watching.” One parent was
woken at 5 am by a strange beeping noise. She later discovered it was her addict son at his
computer.
7. Mrs. Janis-Norton claims a high success rate with her unique system which involves teaching
the parents as well as the child. It is a similar problem to gambling or drug addiction. She
says: “With the parents, we examine all the issues that come up in a child’s day – food,
bedtime, cooperation, homework, the tone of voice children use when talking to their parents
and sweets. We teach parents how to be in charge of the situation, how to be positive, firm
and consistent. We give the child extra lessons in whatever subjects they are weak in. By
slowly getting the children off the machines, and placing computers with other activities and
more confidence, the habit is broken

Section three: Read the passage very quickly and answer the following questions as briefly as
possible.
THE SYDNEY HARBOUR TUNNEL
A. Construction started in January 1988 and was completed by 31 August 1992. The
tunnel took more than 300 contractors and subcontractors combining for a total workforce of
more than 4,500 employees having a peak of 800 at any one time. When completed it will have a
total staff of 30 excluding toll collectors. It required the excavation of about 1.8 million cubic
meters of rock, mud and sand; land tunnels – more than 320,000 cubic meters; trench for marine
tunnel – almost 700,000 cubic meters, casting basin – almost 800,000 cubic meters. The tunnel is
one of more than 70 immersed tube tunnels around the world. Its total length is 2.3 km. It is
Australia’s longest road tunnel and its first under water.
B. Land tunnels on the northern side commenced in February 1988 with the drilling of a
pilot tunnel from the harbour edge up towards Mount Street bridge above the Warringah
Expressway using tunnel borers, road headers, excavators and rock hammers. Land tunnels on
the south side commenced in October 1988, with identical procedures.
C. Dredging commenced in January 1989 when grab dredger Goomai commenced bulk
dredging at the southern end of the tunnel trench, and trailing hopper suction dredger Resolution
commenced operations in the central half of the immersed tube trench in mid February 1989.
650,000 cubic meters of silt, clay and sand were removed leaving only sandstone to be cleared
by the cutter suction dredge Kunara. She crushed a total of 37,000 cubic meters of sandstone.
Each dredge was equipped with at least two position fixing systems. These systems generated a
horizontal position derived from microwave, infra-red and laser-based measurement systems.
1. How long did it take to construct the tunnel?
2. What was the total number of people involved in building the tunnel?
3. How many underwater tunnels are there in Australia?
4. Where was the pilot tunnel drilled?
5. When were the land tunnels begun?
6. How much sandstone did the dredge Kunara crush?
Section four: Look at the information in the following passage about the use of vehicles in the
University grounds and decide whether these statements are True (T), False(F) or Not Given
(NG) and give evidence to support your answers.
USE OF UNIVERSITY GROUNDS BY VEHICULAR TRAFFIC
The university grounds are private.
The University authorities only allow authorised members of the University, visitors and drivers
of vehicles servicing the University to enter the ground.
Members of staff who have paid the requisite fee and display the appropriate permit may bring a
vehicle into the grounds. A University permit does not entitle them to park in Hall car park
however, unless authorised by the Warden of the Hall concerned.
8
Students may not bring vehicles into the grounds during the working day unless they have been
given special permission by the Security Officers and have paid for and are displaying an
appropriate entry permit. Students living in Halls of Residence must obtain permission from the
Warden to keep a motor vehicle at their residence.
Students are reminded that if they park a motor vehicle on University premises without a valid
permit, they will be fined $20.

CONGRATULATION!
By riding public transportation, you are helping to solve some of the major pollution
problems plaguing Boston.
1. AIR POLLUTION. Motor vehicles powered by internal combustion engines are
responsible for over 80 percent of the deadly carbon monoxide as well as the cancer-causing
benzpyrene and nitrates in the air. Eighty-nine percent of the vehicles on the road in Massachusetts
are privately owned and are often operated with only one person in the car. If people would use
public transportation instead of their cars, air pollution level could be significantly lowered.
2. SPACE POLLUTION. Thirty percent of the land in downtown Boston is devoted to cars.
Where there are garages, there could be gardens. Where there are highways, there should be homes
and places to work and play.
3. NOISE POLLUTION. Studies show that people today show a greater hearing loss with
age than ever before. Much of this is due to honking horns, loud engines and general traffic noise.
The cost of a personal car is high to individual. The average person pays about $2000 per car
per year in depreciation, gasoline, insurance, taxes, and maintenance. But for society as a whole,
personal cars are a luxury we cannot afford. We pay in death from auto accidents, in poor health
from air pollution, in loss of hearing from noise pollution, and in the destruction of our cities by the
ever increasing number of highways.
HOW CAN YOU HELP
1. Do not drive in the city.
2. Walk, whenever possible, or ride a bike.
3. Use public transportation.
9
4. Oppose legislation calling for more highways in the cities.
5. Support legislation calling for improving public transportation facilities.

I’M SO LUCKY!
The concert had been a great success and now Gloria Estefan was asleep in the bus
that was taking her to the next town on the tour. Her husband and manager, Emilio, was
making calls on his mobile phone and her son, Nayib, was talking to his personal tutor at
the back of the bus. Suddenly the peace was shattered when a huge lorry crashed head-on
into the bus. Gloria was thrown to the floor, her back was broken.
A
When she left hospital several weeks later Gloria was in a wheelchair. Her spine
was helped together by two long metal rods. She can still feel them when she lies down. At the
time, it was feared that the high-kicking Conga Queen of Miami might never walk again, but for
Gloria giving up was never an option. She started a long and tough exercise program, and just
over a year later she had recorded a new album and was back on stage in her biggest ever tour.
‘My only thought was that I owed it, not only to my family, but also to my fans’, she says. ‘I’ve
been doing it for them, to show that it is possible to do the impossible, in my own small way’.
B
To those fans, Gloria’s return to health was close to a miracle, but Gloria has
always been a fighter. She was born in 1957 in Havana, Cuba, where her father worked as a
policeman at the president’s palace. After Castro’s revolution two years later, the family had to
leave Cuba quickly and they settled in Miami. Life in the United States was not easy for the
young Gloria, because her father became very ill and she had to look after him while her mother
went out to work to support the family.
C
Gloria wanted to be a psychologist, but while studying at Miami University, she
met Emilio Estefan and joined his band, the Miami Sound machine, as a singer. Three years later
when Gloria was still only 21, they got married. A brilliant businessman who had also emigrated
from Cuba after his family had lost everything, Emilio turned the shy, overweight Gloria into an
international superstar. Her record, Cuts Both Ways, sold an amazing 10 million copies
worldwide. She has been making successful records ever since, both in English and Spanish.
11
D
Although she is now one of the richest and most successful artists in America,
Gloria Estefan is not a typical rock star. She’s ever had anything to do with drugs or alcohol, and
her marriage to Emilio, who was her first and only love, is blissfully happy. Her biggest worry is
her son, Nayib. She doesn’t want him to become spoilt by having too much money. A few years
ago, when Nayib was behaving very badly, she took away all his toys. ‘I left only his books. He
lived like that for a year. I told him he was going to have to realize what it was like to have
nothing’.
E
Gloria has a lot of to smile about _ a $6 million mansion on Star Island, Miami,
her own yacht, and enough money to buy anything she wants. But she has also had to struggle
hard in her life. Gloria herself, however, doesn’t see it that way. ‘Everybody’s life is tough
sometimes, and other people have had far worse problems than me. I’ve always felt very lucky to

III. Sample test:
Part A: Below are the extracts from the prospectus of a famous school in Britain. Read
them and do the exercises.
Extract one:
Parkgate School, Cheshire was founded in 1894 by Dr Henry Proctor and was amongst
the first of a series of new schools which had a considerable influence in England and on the
Continent. The aim was to provide boys with a wider and more balanced education than had
12
been customary. It is a small school of about 280 pupils; girls were first admitted in 1970. It is
inter-denominational and the Board of Governors is composed of people prominent in education,
industry and the professions...
Extract two:
The school is based in a country house with many additions. The school estate consists of
180 acres with 32 acres of playing fields. A fine boarding house costing ₤350,000 was completed
in 1980; this was designed within the school, and it is an indication of our approach to children
that a domestic rather than an institute style of architecture has been used. Other additions have
included a modern classroom block (1966), a swimming pool (1967), a music block (1969), a
new girls’ house (1973), a delightful art block with facilities for painting, print –making, claymodeling, sculpture and weaving (1974), a modern engineering workshop (1980) and a fullyequipped science laboratory complex, which was completed in 1986. At the time of writing, a
small astronomical observatory is being built, and other projects, including a satellite – TV
installation for the modern-language department, are being evaluated.
Extract three:
There are three forms in the Lower School for 11 and 12-year-olds who are enrolled
mainly from State primary schools. At 13 an entry of about 30 is accepted each year. From that
level onwards, there are pairs of classes in which children work, in 1 or 3 years towards GCSE.
In these forms, children are allowed a choice of subjects and their individual progress is
monitored, so that those of different aptitudes and abilities are cared for. In the third and fourth
years, boys and girls are encouraged to undertake projects of study and enquiry which they
follow up in their spare time and holidays. The working philosophy in the school is “To teach
according to his/her ability”.
Extract four:
Apart from traditional team sports and games, full use is made of the estate and the
countryside through an extensive programmme of Outdoor Education. Pupils are introduced to
camping, canoeing, sailing and rock-climbing, and all participate in two expeditions per year in
mountainous country. There is also a full riding programmme, and pupils’ horses can be stabled
at the school for a nominal additional charge. Many clubs and hobby activities flourish including
Printing, Electronics, Model-making, Computing, Film-making and Drama. A major play
production is staged each term.
Extract five:
Special responsibilities and privileges are given to members of the Sixth Form. All Sixth
Formers have their own studies and there is a special Sixth Form Master in charge of their
general welfare. Help and guidance in the choice of careers is given by a specialist staff in a
newly-equipped Careers Center, in which information is constantly updated.
Extract six:
The fees are ₤5,238 p.a (1986) and are reviewed each year. There are no compulsory
extras. There are a number of scholarships for entry at 11, 13, and into the Sixth Form. In
addition, some scholarships are rewarded in cases of financial hardship. Entrance and scholarship
tests take place in early March. All applications should be made to the Headmaster.
I. Match each extract with a suitable heading in the following list:
Sixth Form
Outside the classroom
Scholarships, fees and Finance
History of the School
Organization and study
School building and estate
II. Find words in the extract which mean:
Outstanding (extract one):
Set of guiding principles for teaching (extract three):
Popular and widespread (extract four):
Made modern, up to date (extract five):
13
Additional money (extract six):
Lack of money (extract six)
III. Decide whether these sentences are True (T) or False (F) or there is no information
(NI). Give evidence to support your answers:
1. Since its establishment, the school has admitted both boys and girls.
2. The school is famous for its modern facilities dedicated to its students’ academic and
recreational purposes.
3. Students spend most of their time studying and pursuing their hobbies.
4. The ultimate aim of the school is to care for students’ individual needs and interests.
5. Students choose their careers without their teachers’ help and guidance.
