Đáp án A
Điều nào sau đây có thể được suy ra từ đoạn văn?
A. Thực hành một hoạt động mạo hiểm thực sự có thể làm giảm nỗi sợ hãi về nó.
B. Rhian Waller có thể vượt qua sự nhút nhát vì cô ấy là một thợ lặn giàu kinh nghiệm.
C. Viễn cảnh thất bại đầy ám ảnh chắc chắn sẽ ngăn cản một số người mạo hiểm.
D. Thành công luôn gắn liền với mong muốn thử sức với những điều mới lạ.
Thông tin:
+ How does Waller control her fear and stay safe in these high-risk situations? “It comes with practice,” she says. “It's knowing exactly what to do when something goes wrong. We prepare well for each of our expeditions, and we try to minimize the number of risks we take.”
Tạm dịch: Làm thế nào mà Waller có thể kiểm soát nỗi sợ hãi của cô ấy và giữ an toàn trong những tình huống rủi ro cao này? “Nó đi kèm với thực hành,” cô nói. “Đó là biết chính xác phải làm gì khi gặp sự cố. Chúng tôi chuẩn bị tốt cho mỗi chuyến thám hiểm của mình và chúng tôi cố gắng giảm thiểu số lượng rủi ro mà chúng tôi phải gánh chịu.”
+ Take, for example, learning to drive a car. At first, a new driver may be afraid to travel on freeways. In time, though, as the driver gains experience, he or she will move comfortably into speeding traffic and will worry less about the danger.
Tạm dịch: Lấy ví dụ, học lái xe ô tô. Lúc đầu, người mới lái xe có thể e ngại khi di chuyển trên đường cao tốc. Tuy nhiên, theo thời gian, khi người lái xe có kinh nghiệm, họ sẽ thoải mái di chuyển vào dòng xe cộ đang chạy tốc độ và sẽ ít lo lắng về nguy hiểm hơn.
→ A đúng
+ B không được nhắc đến trong bài → B sai
+ We are all motivated to experience new things. In order to do so, we have to take chances and, of course, we may fail.
Tạm dịch: Tất cả chúng ta đều được động viên trải nghiệm những điều mới. Để làm được như vậy, chúng ta phải nắm bắt cơ hội và tất nhiên, chúng ta có thể thất bại.
→ C sai. Ta chưa thể khẳng định việc thất bại sẽ ngăn cản những người mạo hiểm.
+ Of course, a person doesn't have to be a deep-sea diver to be a risk-taker. Taking risks is part of being human.
Tạm dịch: Tất nhiên, một người không cần phải là một thợ lặn biển sâu để trở thành một người mạo hiểm. Mạo hiểm là một phần của con người.
→ D sai. Ta chưa thể khẳng định thành công luôn gắn liền với việc mạo hiểm.
→ Chọn đáp án A

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 from 39 to 43.
RoboCup is a football competition that has taken place every year since 1997. But the players are not human; they are robots. The competition's full name is ‘Robot Soccer World Cup’, and the aim is to create, by the middle of the 21st century, a team of robot footballers that are able to play against and beat the winners of the real World Cup.
In order for robots to play football, robotics companies have had to develop special technologies. A robot can't just run onto the field and start kicking the ball. So each robot is fitted with a webcam which is connected to a computer inside the robot. The robot is able to see where the other players are, where the goal is and, most importantly, where the ball is. They are programmed to make their own decisions and during the match the robots' creators are not allowed to tell them what to do. The robots are, however, able to communicate with other members of their team, via a wireless network.
There is a long way to go before robots will be able to compete against humans. They need to become more intelligent and become able to react more quickly and anticipate the game. But the technologies that are being developed for scoring goals have other uses as well. It may be possible to develop robots that can be used in search and rescue, for example, finding people trapped in buildings after earthquakes. They may not be as fun to watch as real footballers, but at least they don't demand enormous salaries!
