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. Robot teachers if you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list. It’s easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating what robots can do? In some cases, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all? British education expert Anthony Seldom thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2027. He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students’ faces, movements and maybe even brain signals. Then they will adapt the information to each student. It’s not a popular opinion and it’s unlikely robots will ever have empathy and the ability to really connect with humans like another human can. One thing is certain, though a robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren’t enough teachers and 9-16 per cent of children under the age of 14 don’t go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won’t get stressed, or tired, or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paid job. Those negative aspects of teaching are something everyone agrees on. Teachers all over the world are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not ‘Will robots replace teachers?’ but ‘How can robots help teachers?’ Office workers can use software to do things like organize and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, including more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best. (Adapted from ) Question 15. According to the passage, all of the following are mentioned as advantages of robot teachers EXCEPT___. A. higher-paidB. unexhausted C. unpressured D. always ready to work in anywhere Question 16.

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. Early mariners gradually developed ways of observing and recording in their journals their position, the distances and directions they traveled, the currents of wind and water, and the hazards and havens they encountered. The information in these journals enabled them to find their way home and, for them or their successors, to repeat and extend the recorded voyages. Each new observation could be added to an ever increasing body of reliable information. Ship captains and navigators were not concerned about running into other vessels, but as heavy traffic developed along shipping routes, avoiding such collisions became a serious matter. In Trang 3/5 ĐỀ GỐC
4. all fields of navigation, keeping a safe distance between ships moving in different directions at different speeds became as important as knowing how to reach one’s destination. The larger the ship, the easier it is to see, but the larger a ship, the more time it requires to change its speed or direction. When many ships are in a small area, an action taken by one ship to avoid colliding with another might endanger a third. In busy seaports, such as Hamburg and New York, this problem has been solved by assigning incoming and outgoing ships to separate lanes which are clearly marked and divided by the greatest practical distance. The speed of jet airplanes makes collision a deadly possibility. Even if two pilots see one another in time to begin evasive action, their maneuvers may be useless if either pilot incorrectly predicts the other’s move. Ground-based air traffic controllers assign aircraft to flight paths that keep airplanes a safe distance from one another. When steam engines began to replace sails during the first half of the nineteenth century, a ship’s navigator had to compute fuel consumption as well as course and location. Today, in airplanes as well as in ships, large amounts of fuel, needed for long trips, reduce the cargo capacity, and economy requires that its consumption be kept to a minimum. In modern air and sea navigation, a schedule has to be met. A single voyage or flight is only one link in a complicated and coordinated transportation network that carries goods and people from any starting place to any chosen destination. Modern navigation selects a ship’s course, avoids collision with other moving ships, minimizes fuel consumption, and follows an established timetable. (Adapted from Peterson’s Master Toefl Reading) Question 36. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage? A. Mariners today have to compute more things than those in the past did. B. Information in mariners’ journals is better than modern navigation techniques. C. Collisions in the air are more dangerous than those at sea. D.

Ships are not allowed to change their course or their speed while in port. C. The port controllers guide ship captains by radio. D. Captains use their journals to determine the hazards in port. Question 40. What can be inferred about fuel consumption in the nineteenth century? A. A navigator had to determine how much fuel a ship needed for a voyage. B. A journal was kept about the amount of coal a steam engine used during a voyage. C. A ship’s captain had to decide how many sails would be used on a ship. D.
