1. Đáp án: B

Keywords: way of using dance, not proposing

Đoạn B: “That is not to suggest everyone should dance their way to work, however healthy and happy it might make us, but rather that the techniques used by choreographers to experiment with and design movement in dance could provide engineers with tools to stimulate new ideas in city-making”.

2. Đáp án: C

Keywords: contrast, past and present, building

7&8. Đáp án: safety & traffic

Keywords: Guard rails, improve, pedestrians, movement, not disrupted

movement = flow

9. Đáp án: carriageway

Keywords: access points, one at a time

Đoạn E: “…using staggered access points to divide the crossing into two – one for each carriageway”.

12 & 13: Đáp án: communities & healthy

Đoạn E: “These barriers don’t just make it harder to cross the road: they divide communities and decrease opportunities for healthy transport”.

habitat = ecosystems

17. Đáp án: A

Keywords: exact point, particular species, extinct

become extinct = come to an end

18. Đáp án: genetic traits

Keywords: George Church, mammoths, tundra

Đoạn E: “By pinpointing which genetic traits made it possible for mammoths to survive the icy climate of the tundra”.

identify = pinpoint

enable = make it possible

live = survive

19. Đáp án: heat loss

Keywords: Church, Asian elephants, physical adaptations, minimise

Đoạn E: “Necessary adaptations would include smaller ears, thicker hair, and extra insulating fat, all for the purpose of reducing heat loss in the tundra”.

minimise = reduce

20. Đáp án: ears

Keywords: mammoth-like features

Đoạn E: “Necessary adaptations would include smaller ears, thicker hair, and extra insulating fat, all for the purpose of reducing heat loss in the tundra”.

more = extra

21. Đáp án: (insulating) fat

Keywords: mammoth-like features

Đoạn E: “Necessary adaptations would include smaller ears, thicker hair, and extra insulating fat, all for the purpose of reducing heat loss in the tundra…”.

Keywords: concentrate, causes

Đoạn F: “Many of the technologies that people have in mind when they think about de-extinction can be used as a form of “genetic rescue”,’ explains Shapiro.

25. Đáp án: A

Keywords: beneficial impact, vegetation

29. Đáp án: B

Keywords:  Santa Cruz, different, cultures, academic disciplines, recorded

Đoạn 3: “A team made up of more than 30 psychological scientists, anthropologists, and biologists then played these recordings to listeners from 24 diverse societies, from indigenous tribes in New Guinea to city-dwellers in India and Europe. Participants were asked whether they thought the people laughing were friends or strangers.

34. Đáp án: C

Keywords: second study, similar results

Đoạn 8: “Cheng and Wang then replicated these results in a second study, during which they had participants complete long multiplication questions by hand. Again, participants who watched the humorous video spent significantly more time working on this tedious task and completed more questions correctly than did the students in either of the other groups”.

35. Đáp án: D

Keywords: David Cheng, Lu Wang, reduces, body and mind

Đoạn 9: “Although humour has been found to help relieve stress and facilitate social relationships, traditional view”.
