Câu hỏi: 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.
Exactly 50 years ago, humanity stepped foot on the surface of the Moon for the first time. It was a miracle, and one made so powerful because it was so very unlikely. It was hailed as an incredible success. But the chance of failure was such that authorities had to prepare for the possibility of losing the astronauts. Those preparations offer a humbling insight into how risky that mission was, and how high the stakes were. Probably the most potent document from those preparations is the speech that would have been used to hail the bravery of the astronauts as they were left to their death on the Moon.
It was written to announce to the world that the astronauts had been lost, and that the Moon mission was a failure. After it was read, the two astronauts would be given a ceremony something like the burial at sea, but one entirely without precedent. The document was hidden for many years – unused, it was "quietly tucked away into the record" after the astronauts returned home, as the National Archive that now holds it notes. But over time it became public, after being revealed by the man who wrote it, and is now available for the public to read.
It was prepared in the case that the astronauts and their moon lander failed to get back to the main craft that was floating around in the Moon's orbit ready to bring them home, and contained Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's colleague Michael Collins. In that case, it was most likely that those pioneering explorers would not lose their lives in a single spectacular moment. Instead, they would most likely be stranded, stuck 250,000 miles from Earth with no way of getting back home. "If they couldn't get back safely, they'd have to be abandoned on the moon, left to die there," speechwriter William Safire said in 1999. "The men would either have to starve to death or commit suicide."
In the end, and despite some very anxious moments, the crew would explore the lunar surface and come back down safely. That meant that, instead of announcing their loss, Nixon could instead share in the astronaut's success. In one of the most famous moments of the mission, he spoke to them in a phone call that was beamed around the world. He recognised the triumph of their achievement, and wished them safety for their return.

(Bài phát biểu được chuẩn bị trong trường hợp các phi hành gia và tàu đổ bộ Mặt Trăng không thể quay trở lại tàu chính, cái mà vẫn đang di chuyển theo quỹ đạo quanh Mặt Trăng để sẵn sàng đưa họ về nhà và đang mang cả đồng nghiệp của Neil Armstrong và Buzz Aldrin là Michael Collins. Trong trường hợp đó, có khả năng là những nhà thám hiểm tiên phong này sẽ không mất mạng ngay. Thay vào đó, họ có thể bị mắc kẹt ở một nơi cách xa Trái Đất 250,000 dặm mà không có cách nào quay về nhà).
Như vậy người có thể bị kẹt lại là 2 phi hành gia Neil Armstrong và Buzz Aldrin, vì chỉ có 2 người này đổ bộ lên Mặt Trăng.
