Read the following passage and mark the letter A, 8, 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?

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 !! 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 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 "!!'' 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. (A) B. (B) C. (C)
Question 51: The word "that" in the last paragraph refers to ___ _ 
A. the volume B. the water C. the iceberg
D. (D)
D. the towing
Question 52: What are the technical matters mentioned as the difficulty arising in the process of 
obtaining fresh water from the iceberg? 
A. The prevention of rapid melting iceberg
B. The filtering water and the funneling it to shore in a large amount
Trang 4/9 - Mad� thi 132
