Chọn đáp án A
Cụm từ “the same” trong đoạn 3 ám chỉ đến __________.
A. họ sẽ cảm thấy thoải mái với một người hàng xóm có chìa khóa của họ
B. họ đã sống trong cộng đồng của họ từ sáu năm trở lên
C. họ đã làm như vậy trong một đến năm năm
D. họ đã sống trong cộng đồng của họ ít hơn một năm
=> Dựa vào ngữ cảnh trong đoạn văn sau:
“But even among those who report that they have lived in their community for less than one year, 34% say they would be comfortable with a neighbor having their keys. Meanwhile, 64% of those who have lived in their community for six or more years and 47% of those who have done so for one to five years say the same.”
(Nhưng ngay cả trong số những người báo cáo rằng họ đã sống trong cộng đồng của họ ít hơn một năm, 34% người nói rằng họ sẽ cảm thấy thoải mái khi người hàng xóm có chìa khóa của họ. Trong khi đó, 64% những người đã sống trong cộng đồng của họ từ sáu năm trở lên và 47% những người đã sống như vậy từ một đến năm năm cũng nói như vậy.)
=> Do đó, ta hiểu rằng cụm từ “the same” trong đoạn 3 ám chỉ đến việc những người đã sống trong cộng đồng của họ từ 1-5 năm sẽ cảm thấy thoải mái với một người hàng xóm có chìa khóa của họ.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
There have never been so (29)___________ people living in cities in quake zones because the worse the damage can be from a big quake, bringing fires, tsunamis, and the loss of life, property, and maybe an entire city. We understand how earthquakes happen but not exactly where or when they will occur. Until recently, quakes seemed to occur at random. In Japan, government research is now showing that quakes can be predicted. At the Earthquake Research Institute, University of Tokyo, Koshun Yamaoka says earthquakes do follow a (30)__________ —pressure builds in a zone and must be released. But a colleague, Naoyuki Kato, adds that laboratory experiments indicate that a fault slips a little before it breaks. If this is true, predictions can be made based on the detection of slips.
Research in the U.S. may support Kato’s theory. In Parkfield, California earthquakes occur about every 22 years on the San Andreas Fault. In the 1980s, scientists drilled into the fault and set up equipment to record activity to look for warning signs. (31)________ an earthquake hit again, it was years of schedule. At first the event seemed random but scientists drilled deeper. By 2005 they reached the bottom of the fault, two miles down, and found something. Data from two quakes reported in 2008 show there were two “slips’—places (32)_______ the plates widened—before the fault line broke and the quakes occurred.
We are learning more about these destructive events every day. In the future we may be able to track earthquakes and design an early-warning system. So if the next great earthquake does (33)_______ in Tokai, about 100 miles southwest of Tokyo, as some scientists think, the citizens of Tokai may have advance warning.
