Dịch bài

     Trải qua hơn 600 năm qua, tiếng Anh đó phát triển từ một ngôn ngữ ít người nói trở thành ngôn ngữ chính trong giao tiếp quốc tế. Tiếng Anh ngày nay xuất hiện khoảng năm 1350, với sự kết hợp chặt chẽ nhiều yếu tố của tiếng Pháp sau khi người Norman xâm lược vào năm 1030. Cho đến những năm 1600, tiếng Anh phần lớn chỉ được nói ở nước Anh và thậm chí không được mở rộng đến xứ Wales, Scotland, hoặc Ireland. Tuy nhiên, trong 2 thế kỉ tiếp theo, Tiếng Anh bắt đầu được lan truyền khắp trái đất như là kết quả của sự khám phá; thương mại (bao gồm kinh doanh nô lệ), chiếm lĩnh thuộc địa và truyền giáo. Do đó, những khu vực nhỏ nói tiếng Anh được thành lập và phát triển ở nhiều nơi trên thế giới. Vì những cộng đồng này tăng nhanh, tiếng Anh dần dần trở thành ngôn ngữ quốc tế cơ bản trong kinh doanh, ngân hàng và ngoại giao. Ngày nay, khoảng 80% dữ liệu thông tin trên hệ thống máy tính toàn thế giới là bằng tiếng Anh. Hơn 2/3 ngành khoa học thế giới viết bằng tiếng Anh và tiếng Anh là ngôn ngữ chính trong kĩ thuật, quảng cáo, truyền thông, sân bay và kiểm soát không lưu quốc tế. Ngày nay có hơn 700 triệu người dùng tiếng Anh trên thế giới, và hơn một nửa trong số đó là những người nói tiếng Anh không phải tiếng mẹ đẻ, tạo thành số người sử dụng không phải tiếng mẹ đẻ lớn nhất, hơn bất kì ngôn ngữ nào trên thế giới.

Câu 2:

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 36 to 42.

     In 2011, on the popular American TV quiz show, Jeopardy!, two champions competed against a brand new opponent. Both Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter had won millions of dollars on Jeopardy!. Jennings once won 74 games in a row, the most ever. Then Rutter beat him in a tournament and set a new record for the most money won on Jeopardy!. Their new opponent, Watson, had never appeared on the game show and had only played practice games before, in which he often got answers wrong.

     However, Watson isn't human. He, or rather it, is a machine, a wonder of technology made by researchers at IBM. In the game, Watson used math to decide on an answer. When a question was read out, Watson was immediately given the same question in electronic form. It analyzed the question and searched its memory bank - about the same as one million books of information - for possible answers. It then narrowed the options down to one answer. If Watson felt around 75 percent confident about the answer, it would answer the question.

     The way Watson thinks is very different from the way humans think. People often make decisions by listening to their emotions and feelings, even if they are unsure of the answer. As a computer, Watson couldn't do this. People also watch and listen to those around them. Watson was not able to “listen” to the wrong answers given by his competitors. In one question, Jennings answered the question incorrectly and Watson later answered with the same wrong answer. Watson also made silly mistakes. In a question in the category U.S. Cities, Watson incorrectly answered Toronto, even though the city of Toronto is in Canada. An IBM researcher said Watson got confused because it saw in its memory bank that the U.S. is often called America. Toronto is considered a North American city, so that was the answer that Watson gave.

     Still, Watson defeated his human opponents somewhat easily and received the $1 million prize. The other players also won money for participating in the special game. Everyone left the game happy, as each player was earning money for different charities.

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 31 to 35.

     Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as two centuries. English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking and diplomacy. 

     Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is English. Two thirds of the world's science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers - Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are nonnative speakers, constituting the largest number of nonnative users than any other language in the world.
