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
A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the astounding discovery that a sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects people in the way that a sudden increase in crime does. Appleyard observed this by finding three blocks of houses in San Francisco that looked much alike and had the same kind of middle-class and working-class residents, with approximately the same ethnic mix. The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia Street (LIGHT street, in Appleyard’s terminology) while Gough Street (MEDIUM street) was used by 8,000 cars daily, and Franklin Street (HEAVY street) had around 16,000 cars a day. Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia had in a day.
Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes and soot, directly, and trash secondarily. That is, the cars didn’t bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated, residents seldom picked it up. The cars, Appleyard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for. Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes. Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses. Most
families with children had already left.
Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash. They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin.
On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased. People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives. A number of families had recently moved and more were considering. Those who were staying expressed deep regret at the destruction of their community.
Approximately how many cars used Franklin Street daily?
A. 2,000
B. 8,000
C. 16,000
D. 20,000
Đáp án C
Có khoảng bao nhiêu phương tiện dùng đường Franklin mỗi ngày?
A. 2,000
B. 8,000
C. 16,000

Which of the following is NOT a statement you would expect from a resident of Gough Street?
A. People on this street are unhappy because the neighborhood is deteriorating.
B. People on this street think mostly of themselves.
C. People on this street have more and more space for which they feel responsible.
D. A number of people are preparing to leave this street.
Đáp án C
Đâu không phải là điều mà người dân đường Gough có thể sẽ nói?
A. Người dân đường này không vui vì khu dân cư của họ đang mai một dần.
B. Người dân đường này chỉ nghĩ cho bản thân nhiều hơn.
C. Người dân đường này ngày càng cảm thấy có trách nhiệm.
D. Nhiều người đang có ý định chuyển đi.
Đoạn cuối nói về suy nghĩ của người dân đường Gough: cảm giác cộng đồng dần mất đi, người ta chỉ biết đến cuộc sống bản thân (ít trách nhiệm hơn, ít thông cảm cho nhau hơn). Nhiều gia đình đã chuyển và nhiều gia đình đang cân nhắc chuyển. Người ở lại bày tỏ tiếc nuối (không vui)… Như vậy, ta có thể thấy, đáp án C (cảm thấy có trách nhiệm hơn) là sai.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
A NEW CAPITAL
When the new state of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the capital city. However, it was difficult for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of drawbacks such as the climate and the state of the existing buildings. Rather than try to overcome these drawbacks, the government decided to create a new capital city. In 1959, a commission was established to investigate the possible locations of this new city. The advisor appointed to the commission was Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city planner.
Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They then produced a report suggesting two possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to the north of Rawalpindi. Both locations had advantages as well as disadvantages. Which site was it to be?
The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors, such as transportation, the availabilities of water, economic factors, and factors of national interest. Finally, the site north of Rawalpindi was chosen and on the 24th February 1960, the new capital was given the name of ‘Islamabad’ and a master plan was drawn up. This master plan divided the area into three different sections: Islamabad itself, neighbouring Rawalpindi, and the national park.
Each of these three sections had a different role. Islamabad would act as the national's capital and would serve its administrative and cultural needs, whereas Rawalpindi would remain the regional centre with industry and commerce. The third piece of the plan, the national park, was planned to provide space for education, recreation, and agriculture.
Today Islamabad is a thriving city of about 1 million people. It offers a healthy a pollution-free atmosphere, plenty of water, and many green spaces. Guide tree-lined streets, elegant public buildings, and well-organised bazaars and shopping centres. The new capital is a superb example of good urban planning.
How many places were suggested for the new capital city in the initial reports?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
