Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, tr or I) to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture. Marring our gardens is one of the milder effects of weeds - any plants that thrive where they are unwanted. They clog waterways, destroy wildlife habitats, and impede fanning. Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for one-third of all crop loss. They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants.
The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its herbicides are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused. Toxic compounds threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and drinking water. They also harm workers who apply them.
In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically sound. Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems. Hence, scientists are exploring the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms.
The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans. They can be chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched. In contrast, some of the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only those that are naturally resistant or have been genetically modified for resistance. Furthermore, a number of biological agents can be administered only once, after which no added applications are needed. Chemicals typically must be used several times per growing season.
The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are __________.
A. unable to think for themselves
B. too independent of others
C. unable to use basic skills
D. too critical of themselves
Đáp án A
Dịch nghĩa: Tác giả lo rằng những đứa trẻ lớn lên sẽ trở thành những người lớn mà ________.
A. Không thể tự suy nghĩ
B. Quá phụ thuộc vào người khác
C. Không thể sử dụng những kĩ năng cơ bản
D. Qua khắt khe với bản thân
Giải thích: Tác giả phê bình việc chỉ ra lỗi sai của trẻ và sửa nó giúp trẻ. Như vậy có thể suy ra là nếu cứ tiếp tục như vậy thì khi lớn lên, không ai chỉ cho, nó sẽ không thể độc lập suy nghĩ. Dễ nhầm lẫn với B nhưng phương án B chỉ đúng khi còn nhỏ, nó phụ thuộc vào thầy cô và cha mẹ để giúp nó, còn khi trưởng thành thì kết quả là nó không suy nghĩ được, đáp án A.
Bài dịch
Hãy để trẻ em học cách tự đánh giá hoạt động của mình. Một đứa trẻ tập nói không học bằng cách lúc nào cũng được sửa lỗi sai. Nếu sửa quá nhiều, nó sẽ không nói nữa. Nó nhận ra những khác biệt trong ngôn ngữ nó sử dụng và ngôn ngữ những người xung quanh sử dụng hàng ngàn lần mỗi ngày. Dần dần, nó thay đổi để giống những người khác. Tương tự như thế, trẻ em học tất cả những điều mà chúng phải học để làm mà không hề được dạy - như là nói chuyện, chạy, leo trèo, huýt sáo, đi xe đạp - đối chiếu sự thể hiện của mình với cái của những người điêu luyện hơn và từ từ thực hiện những thay đổi cần thiết. Nhưng ở trường, chúng ta không bao giờ cho trẻ cơ hội để tìm ra những sai lầm của chính mình, để tự mình sửa chữa. Chúng ta làm tất cả cho lũ trẻ. Chúng ta hành động như thể chúng ta nghĩ rằng nó sẽ không bao giờ nhận ra lỗi sai nếu chúng ta không chỉ ra cho nó, hoặc nó sẽ không bao giờ sửa lỗi trừ khi nó bị bắt phải sửa. Chẳng bao lâu sau nó sẽ phụ thuộc vào giáo viên. Hãy để nó tự làm điều đó. Hãy để lũ trẻ tự tìm ra, với sự giúp đỡ của các bạn khác nếu nó cần, xem từ này nói gì, câu trả lời cho bài toán đó là gì, cho dù đó có phải là cách tốt nhất hay không. Nếu đó là một vấn để đúng hay sai, ví dụ như trong toán hoặc khoa học, hãy đưa cho đứa trẻ sách giải. Để cho trẻ tự chữa bài của chúng. Tại sao chúng ta, những giáo viên lại lãng phí thời gian cho những quyển sách bình thường hàng ngày như vậy? Công việc của chúng ta là giúp đỡ lũ trẻ khi chúng nói rằng chúng không thể tìm cách làm đúng. Hãy chấm dứt tất cả những thử ngớ ngẩn như điểm số, thi cử, chấm điểm. Hãy ném hết chúng đi, hãy để lũ trẻ học tất cả những gì mà một người có học phải học, cách để đánh giá mức độ hiểu biết, cách để biết xem chúng biết những gì và không biết những gì.
Hãy để chúng tiếp cận vấn để theo cách tốt nhất cho chúng, cộng thêm sự hỗ trợ từ giáo viên nếu chúng cần. Ý nghĩ về việc có một lượng kiến thức nhất định phải học ở trường để sử dụng trong suốt cuộc đời còn lại thật là vô lí trong một thế giới phức tạp và thay đổi nhanh chóng như hiện nay. Những ông bố bà mẹ và giáo viên lo lắng cho rằng: “Nhưng nếu lỡ chúng không học được những thứ thiết yếu, những thứ mà chúng sẽ cần để bước vào đời?” Không cần lo lắng, nếu nó thật sự cần thiết, chúng sẽ ra thế giới bên ngoài kia và tự học được.
