Part 3: Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question.
 The World and Its Global Economy
 The world as man knows it today is getting smaller and smaller because of technology such as
t-he Internet and high speed modems. In fact, on March 3, 2005, a man flew entirely around the globe
w- ithout refueling or stopping in a one person jet. The world is changing the world, and as the 21st century
continues, the global economy will play a larger and larger role. As Thomas Friedman so eloquently put
it in Lexus and the Olive Tree, globalization is "the i nexorable integration of markets, nation-states, and
technologies to a degree never witnessed before."
A With today's technology it is possible for people to s olicit business from the far side of the globe. B
A company like dell Computers can order parts from several different countries, take shipment in North
Carolina where the new computers will be assembled, and then ship them to all regions of the globe . C
An American oil firm can do a satellite survey in Siberia for oil deposits and then contract with a Russian
oil firm to drill the actual well, while the petroleum engineer, acting as the project supervisor, remains in
the US and runs the project by using a computer, a h- igh speed Internet connection, and a cellular
tdelephone for quick questions. 
 A global economy poses some serious problems. If a company doesn't act fast enough, it can lose,
and if the company loses heavily, what will happen to the employees working for the company, and then
in turn what will happen to the stores that depend on those employees buying their goods? As can be
s-een, there is a definite trickle down effect. How is the child who is about to graduate from high school
supposed to decide on what career field to enter? A career field that is here today might be gone long
before the child can graduate from college, so not only does it become vital that a person gain the needed
knowledge to enter a given career field, but the person also needs to learn how to learn. Learning how to
learn may prove to be even more necessary than the knowledge needed to enter a given career field. A
person who is good at learning how to learn can quickly adapt to changes in the global economy by
quickly preparing to enter other career fields if his job is here today, but gone in the morning.
 If the world turns into a global economy, a person will need to be able to get along and work with
people from different cultural backgrounds. However, unless a person has spent time living in different
parts of the world, this might be hard to do. While many students from foreign countries, especially the
Asian countries, come to the US to earn a graduate degree, how many students from the US spend even
a semester abroad studying in another country? The answer to this question is of course a very small
percentage.
 While individuals from some of foreign countries and some individuals from the US and the US
economy will adjust to globalization, will the rest of the world? Mass media are more than willing to
continue to stir the pot of controversy as they not only have to learn how to report the positive news, but
also dole out a continuous stream of negative news. When a person in a developing country sees all the
 DeThiHay.net 15 Đề thi Học sinh giỏi Tiếng Anh 11 cấp Trường (Kèm đáp án) - DeThiHay.net
cars on the streets of Beijing, of course that person wants a car so he can show his neighbor how wealthy
he is, and all this does is promote unneeded consumption. Why does the person who has nowhere to go
and no money to spend for travel want to own a car? The simple answer is because the media paint
owning a car as a symbol of wealth and it is human nature to want to become wealthy or at least to appear
wealthy.
 On the positive side, as prices rise due to increased demands on scarce resources, there will be an
incentive to find affordable alternatives. For example, as the price of oil rises and along with it the price
of a gallon of gasoline, a point will be reached at which people are no longer willing to purchase gasoline
so they can drive their cars, and they will demand both alternative transportation methods and cars which
use another source of energy. A current online survey says $2.50 per gallon of gasoline is the point at
which the people in the US will start making demands on the auto manufacturer, which will open up new
career fields in a few countries that have the technology needed to meet the demands; however, people
a round the globe will work together on it.

advertising
 d. The mass media report every angle of a story since reports are apolitical and never present
only one viewpoint.
76. In paragraph 5, what can be inferred from the description of the media about owning a car?
 A. A car needs to be painted certain colors if it is going to show others a person is wealthy.
 B. The media are so biased that they will provide paint if a person needs to paint his car so as to
project the car as a symbol of wealth.
 C. The media slant the stories, so it will appear to viewers that only wealthy people own a car.
 d. The members of the media don't own cars, so they are jealous of those wealthy people who
