Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the earth. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia, a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact that the dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs were found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone. The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog. The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. With needle-shaped noses and razor sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were slightly shorter, and their jaws were designed to be better able to dissect their prey quickly and precisely. Question 35: The author states that the newly discovered dinosaur remains are evidence that it was the largest. A. carnivorous dinosaur B. dinosaur ever C. South American dinosaur D. herbivorous dinosaur Question 36: The word Besides in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to. A. in spite of B. mostly C. in addition to D. although. Question 37: The word horrifying in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to. A. frightening B. fast C. large D. interesting Question 38: The word astounding in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to. A. pleasing B. displeasing C. surprising D. terrifying Question 39: The author implies that the most interesting fact about the find is that this dinosaur. A. was found in the Andes B. had a powerful jaw and sharp teeth C. was larger than Tyrannosaurus Rex D. lived and hunted with others Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 134

4 Question 40: The passage indicates that prior to this discovery scientists believed that. A. there were no meat-eating dinosaurs in the Andes B. meat-eating dinosaurs lived alone C. Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in the Andes D. meat-eating dinosaurs were small in stature Question 41: The word it in the second paragraph refers to. A. Relationship B. dog C. newly discovered meat-eater D. Giganotosaurus Question 42: The author states that the newly discovered meat-eating dinosaur is. A. closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex. B. not closely related to Tyrannosaurus Rex. C. not closely related to Giganotosaurus D. closely related to the large cat family Question 43: The word dissect in the last sentence is closest in meaning to. A. dismember B. chew C. escape D. swallow Question 44: The word prey in the last sentence of the passage is closest in meaning to. A. enemy B. victim C. dinosaurs D. attacker 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. Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture. Marring our gardens is one of the milder effects of weeds - any plants that thrive where they are unwanted. They clog waterways, destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming. Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for one-third of all crop loss. They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants. The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its herbicides are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused. Toxic compounds threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and drinking water. They also harm workers who apply them. In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically sound. Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems. Hence, scientists are exploring the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms. The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans. They can be chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched. In contrast, some of the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only those that are naturally resistant or have been genetically modified for resistance. Furthermore, a number of biological agents can be administered only once, after which no added applications are needed. Chemicals typically must be used several times per growing season. Question 45: With what topic does this passage primarily deal? A. The importance of the chemical industry. B. The dangers of toxic chemicals. C. A proposal to ban the use of all herbicides. D. Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones. Question 46: The word marring in bold is closest in meaning to. A. spoiling B. planting C. dividing D. replacing Question 47: The word clog in bold is closest in meaning to. A. grow along B. drain C. float on D. obstruct Question 48: Which of the following terms does the author define in the first paragraph?

They are safer for workers. B. They are less likely to destroy desirable plants. C. They are more easily available. D. They do not have to be used as often. Question 51: The word innate in bold is closest in meaning to. A. effective B. organic C. natural D. active Question 52: According to the passage, biological agents mainly consist of. A. herbicides B. useful plants C. insects and microorganisms D. weeds Question 53: The word 'applications in bold could best be replaced by which of the following?

Scientists have discovered the bones of what may be the largest meat-eating dinosaur ever to walk the earth. The discovery was made by a team of researchers from Argentina and North America in Patagonia, a desert on the eastern slopes of the Andes in South America. Besides the interesting fact that the dinosaur was huge and horrifying, it is even more astounding that the bones of a number of the dinosaurs were found together. This discovery challenges the prior theory that the biggest meat-eaters lived as loners and instead indicates that they may have lived and hunted in packs. The Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in North America and was believed to hunt and live alone. The newly discovered meat-eater appears to be related to the Giganotosaurus family, being as closely related to it as a fox would be to a dog. It is actually not of the same family at all as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, being as different from it as a cat is from a dog. The fossilized remains indicate that the animals lived about 100 million years ago. With needle-shaped noses and razor sharp teeth, they were larger than the Tyrannosaurus Rex, although their legs were slightly shorter, and their jaws were designed to be better able to dissect their prey quickly and precisely. Question 35: The author states that the newly discovered dinosaur remains are evidence that it was the largest. A. carnivorous dinosaur B. South American dinosaur C. herbivorous dinosaur D. dinosaur ever Question 36: The word Besides in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to. A. in addition to B. although C. in spite of D. mostly Question 37: The word horrifying in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to.

Question 43: The word dissect in the last sentence is closest in meaning to. A. dismember B. swallow C. escape D. chew Question 44: The word prey in the last sentence of the passage is closest in meaning to. A. attacker B. enemy C. dinosaurs D. victim 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. Humans have struggled against weeds since the beginnings of agriculture. Marring our gardens is one of the milder effects of weeds - any plants that thrive where they are unwanted. They clog waterways, destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming. Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for one-third of all crop loss. They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants. The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry. Its herbicides are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused. Toxic compounds threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and drinking water. They also harm workers who apply them. In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically sound. Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world's weed problems. Hence, scientists are exploring the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms. The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans. They can be chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants untouched. In contrast, some of the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only those that are naturally resistant or have been genetically modified for resistance. Furthermore, a number of biological agents can be administered only once, after which no added applications are needed. Chemicals typically must be used several times per growing season. Question 45: With what topic does this passage primarily deal? A. The dangers of toxic chemicals. B. Advantages of biological agents over chemical ones. C. The importance of the chemical industry. D. A proposal to ban the use of all herbicides. Question 46: The word marring in bold is closest in meaning to. A. spoiling B. dividing C. replacing D. planting Question 47: The word clog in bold is closest in meaning to. A. drain B. float on C. grow along D. obstruct Question 48: Which of the following terms does the author define in the first paragraph? Trang 4/6 - Mã đề thi 356

Question 50: Which of the following is NOT given as an advantage of using biological agents over chemical herbicides? A. They are less likely to destroy desirable plants. B. They are safer for workers. C. They are more easily available. D. They do not have to be used as often. Question 51: The word innate in bold is closest in meaning to.

During the Chosun period, people married (39) their early teens, with the girl often being several years older than the boy. The groom usually traveled to the house of the bride for the ceremony, then stayed there for three days (40) taking his new bride to his family's home.

Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the context changes. These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in either direction. Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret from members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as trail pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working with the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to lead a column of ants three times around Earth.

37 The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects this signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one and then the other antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in the vapor space. The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the trail. Câu 45: What is possibly the main topic of the passage? A. The information contained in pheromones B.

To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals. C. To attract different types of ants. D. To indicate how far away the food is. Câu 50: The author mentions the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant in the second paragraph to point out. A. how little pheromone is needed to mark a trail B. the different types of pheromones ants can produce C. that certain ants can produce up to one milligram of pheromone D. a type of ant that is common in many parts of the world Câu 51: According to the passage, how are ants guided by trail pheromones?

After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard s MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollments in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue.

38 There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are for students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job? The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered.

Professional matchmakers paired up likely candidates for marriage, with the new couple often meeting for the first time at their wedding. The families considered many factors in the decision, consulting with fortune tellers for (38) about the couple's future life together. During the Chosun period, people married (39) their early teens, with the girl often being several years older than the boy. The groom usually traveled to the house of the bride for the ceremony, then stayed there for three days (40) taking his new bride to his family's home. The actual ceremony involved many small rituals, with many bows and symbolic gestures. The (41) were expected to control their emotions and remain somber.

Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the context changes. These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in either direction. Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret from members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as trail pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working with the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to lead a column of ants three times around Earth. The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects this signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one

49 and then the other antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in the vapor space. The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the trail. Câu 45: What is possibly the main topic of the passage? A. Different species of ants around the world B. The mass migration of ants C. How ants mark and follow a chemical trail D. The information contained in pheromones Câu 46: The word "forage" in line 1 is closest in meaning to.

A. message B. food trail C. species D. dead ant Câu 49: According to the passage, why do ants use different compounds as trail pheromones? A. To indicate how far away the food is. B. To attract different types of ants. C. To protect their trail from other species. D. To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals. Câu 50: The author mentions the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant in the second paragraph to point out. A. the different types of pheromones ants can produce B. a type of ant that is common in many parts of the world C. that certain ants can produce up to one milligram of pheromone D. how little pheromone is needed to mark a trail Câu 51: According to the passage, how are ants guided by trail pheromones? A. They avoid the vapor spaces by moving in a straight line. B. They sense the vapor through their antennae. C. They follow an ant who is familiar with the trail. D.

After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard s MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollments in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue. There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are for students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, Is an MBA degree really what I need to

50 be best prepared for getting a good job? The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands. Câu 55: What is the main focus of this passage? A. Jobs on Wall Street B. Types of graduate degrees C.

The families considered many factors in the decision, consulting with fortune tellers for (38) about the couple's future life together. During the Chosun period, people married (39) their early teens, with the girl often being several years older than the boy. The groom usually traveled to the house of the bride for the ceremony, then stayed there for three days (40) taking his new bride to his family's home.

Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the context changes. These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in either direction. Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret from members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as trail pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working with the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to lead a column of ants three times around Earth.

61 The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects this signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one and then the other antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in the vapor space. The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the trail. Câu 45: What is possibly the main topic of the passage? A. Different species of ants around the world B.

A. To attract different types of ants. B. To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals. C. To protect their trail from other species. D. To indicate how far away the food is. Câu 50: The author mentions the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant in the second paragraph to point out A. a type of ant that is common in many parts of the world B. the different types of pheromones ants can produce C. how little pheromone is needed to mark a trail D. that certain ants can produce up to one milligram of pheromone Câu 51: According to the passage, how are ants guided by trail pheromones? A. They avoid the vapor spaces by moving in a straight line. B. They sense the vapor through their antennae. C. They concentrate on the smell of food. D.

After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard s MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollments in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue. There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on

62 Wall Street or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are for students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?

The families considered many factors in the decision, consulting with fortune tellers for (38) about the couple's future life together. During the Chosun period, people married (39) their early teens, with the girl often being several years older than the boy. The groom usually traveled to the house of the bride for the ceremony, then stayed there for three days (40) taking his new bride to his family's home. The actual ceremony involved many small rituals, with many bows and symbolic gestures. The (41) were expected to control their emotions and remain somber.

Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow. As a worker ant returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages as the context changes. These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by other ants in either direction. Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret from members of other species. It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds as trail pheromones. Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals. Investigators working with the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to lead a column of ants three times around Earth. The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects this signal with receptors in its antennae. A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space. In following the trail, the ant moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one and then the other antenna into the vapor space. As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives in

73 the vapor space. The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the trail. Câu 45: What is possibly the main topic of the passage? A. The mass migration of ants B. How ants mark and follow a chemical trail C. Different species of ants around the world D.

A. To attract different types of ants. B. To indicate how far away the food is. C. To protect their trail from other species. D. To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals. Câu 50: The author mentions the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant in the second paragraph to point out A. the different types of pheromones ants can produce B. that certain ants can produce up to one milligram of pheromone C. how little pheromone is needed to mark a trail D. a type of ant that is common in many parts of the world Câu 51: According to the passage, how are ants guided by trail pheromones? A. They follow an ant who is familiar with the trail. B. They sense the vapor through their antennae. C. They avoid the vapor spaces by moving in a straight line. D.

After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard s MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollments in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue. There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are for students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, Is an MBA degree really what I need to

74 be best prepared for getting a good job? The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands. Câu 55: What is the main focus of this passage? A. How schools are changing to reflect the economy B.

No educational medium better serves as a means of spatial communication than the atlas. Atlases deal with such invaluable information as population distribution and density. One of the best, Penny Cooke s World Atlas, has been widely accepted as a standard owing to the quality of its maps and photographs, which not only show various settlements but also portray them in a variety of scales.

95 In fact, the very first map in the atlas is a cleverly designed population cartogram that projects the size of each country if geographical size were proportional to population. Following the proportional layout, a sequence of smaller maps shows the world's population density, each country's birth and death rates, population increase or decrease, industrialization, urbanization, gross national product in term of per capita income, the quality of medical care, literacy, and language. To give readers a perspective on how their own country fits in with the global view, additional projections depict the world's patterns in nutrition, calorie and protein consumption, health care, number of physicians per unit of population, and life expectancy by region. Population density maps on a sub-continental scale, as well as political maps, convey the diverse demographic phenomena of the world in a broad array of scales.

Partial maps and their uses Question 47: According to the passage, the first map in Pennycooke's World Atlas shows A. the population policy in each country B. the hypothetical sizes of each country C. geographical proportions of each country D. national boundaries relative to population Question 48: Which of the following sentences is TRUE about the atlas?

The fertile valleys of the river Nile straddle the hot desert land of Egypt. Rain is relatively scarce, and the summers are scorching hot. Nevertheless the strip of land, known as the Cultivation, on either side of the Nile is reputed to be one of the most fertile places in the world. Its rich black soil is the result of accumulation of silt deposited by the annual flooding of the Nile thousands of years ago. From June to October, the river overflowed its banks. Modern damps were then constructed to control the flooding. The floodwaters left behind a rich sticky black mud which made it suitable for the cultivation of crops. As long as the soil was well irrigated, two or three crops could be grown in one season. Its rich soil led to the growth and rise of the brilliant civilization of the ancient Egyptians on the Nile valley more than 5000 years ago. The earliest Egyptians had acquired the skills to till the land along the banks, drawing along the Nile became wealthy, they embarked on projects of digging ditches and constructing dams to control the floods. In about 3100 BC, the whole Egypt was united under the reign of King Menes. He and his descendants made up Egypt's first ruling family, or dynasty. His rule led to the great development of the arts like writing, painting, architecture, and crafts. Egyptian power and influence were to last for the next 2000 years. The Egyptian kings had absolute powers. The king possesses all the land, and the peasants had to surrender part of their crops to the king. An army of officials and scribes did the task of collecting the exact amount of due from the individual farmers. Crops and livestock were often seen at the storehouses surrounding the royal palaces. In return for their uphill task, the king paid his officials and dishes out funds for huge irrigation projects. Egypt's trade with the outside world stretches far and wide. In return for gold, copper, gemstones, and building stones, it purchases the goods that it did not have. Timber, resins, oils, silver and slaves came from Lebanon. From Deria and Anatolia came horses, while the blue stone called lapis lazuli was imported from Mesopotamia. Strong forts were constructed to protect overland trade routes.

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives. Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job. Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people s behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers. Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person s experiences. There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform behaviors. More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.

In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh. The important feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained. Even though it is very funny, a good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose. Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years. In wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda. Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of social matters. In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in influencing people in Europe and the United States. Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write. Such cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China. Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons. The cartoons themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way. In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not depend chiefly on telling jokes. Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons. This is not their primary aim. In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters, Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible among the people. Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge. They offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular country in which they live. Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France, America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture. Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to the East and not vice versa. By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East and the West. Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries. The vast increase in the popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius s famous saying One picture is worth a thousand words. Mã đề Trang 4/9

As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased.

112 The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities. Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility. Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society. The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling. By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened. Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies. Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations. Immigrant women were once such population. Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home. Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American education gave homemaking a new definition. In preindustrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States, however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children efficiently in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others. Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date. Question 35: The paragraph preceding the whole reading passage probably discusses. A. the urbanization in the United States in the nineteen century. B. the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society in the nineteen century. C. the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the nineteen century. D. the formal schooling in the United States in the nineteen century. Question 36: It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing importance of education in the United States was.

A. began to grow rapidly B. happened at the same time as C. ensured the success of D. was influenced by Question 39: According to the passage, one important change in United States education by the 1920 s was that. A. adults and children studied in the same classes B. most places required children to attend school C. the amount of time spent on formal education was limited D. new regulations were imposed on nontraditional education Question 40: Vacation schools and extracurricular activities are mentioned in paragraph 2 to illustrate. A. alternatives to formal education provided by public schools B. the increased impact of public schools on students C. activities that competed to attract new immigrants to their programs.

When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently come across words you do not (45) understand. Sometimes you (46) the meaning in a dictionary and sometimes you guess. The strategy you adopt depends very much upon the (47) of accuracy you require and the time at your disposal. If you are the sort of person who tends to turn to the dictionary frequently, it is (48) remembering that every dictionary has its limitations. Each definition is only an approximation and one builds up an accurate picture of the meaning of a word only after meeting it in a (49) of contexts. It is also important to recognize the special dangers of dictionaries that translate from English into your native language and vice versa. If you must use a dictionary, it is usually far safer to (50) an English- English dictionary. In most exams you are not permitted to use a dictionary. (51) you are allowed to use one, it is very time- consuming to look up words, and time in exams is usually limited. You are, (52), forced to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words. When you come across unknown words in an exam text, it is very easy to panic. However, if you develop efficient techniques for guessing the meaning, you will(53) a number of possible problems and help yourself to understand far more of the text than you at first likely. Two strategies which may help you guess the meaning of a word are: using contextual clues, both within the sentence and outside, and making uses (54) clues derived from the formation of the word.

115 * Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. The art world One of the major problems in the art world is how to distinguish and promote an artist. In effect, a market must be created for an artist to be successful. The practice of signing and numbering individual prints was introduced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the nineteenth - century artist best known for the painting of his mother, called Arrangement in Grey and Black, but known to most of us as Whistler s Mother. Whistler s brother - in - law, Sir Francis Seymour Haden, a less well - known artist, had speculated that collectors might find prints more attractive if they knew that they were only a limited number of copies produced. By signing the work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each print. As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their prints, their work began to increase in value. When other artists noticed that the signed prints commanded higher prices, they began copying the procedure. Although most prints are signed on the right - hand side in the margin below the image, the placement of the signature is a matter of personal choice. Indeed, prints have been signed within the image, in any of the margins, or even on the reverse side of the print. Wherever the artist elects to sign it, a signed print is still valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition. Question 55: Which of the following would be a better title for the passage? A. Whistler s Mother B. The Practice of Signing Prints C. Copying Limited Edition Prints D. Whistler s Greatest Works Question 56: What made Whistler s work more valuable? A. His brother - in - law s prints. B. His fame as an artist C. His painting of his mother. D. His signature on the prints Question 57: The word speculated in bold type could best be replaced by. A. denied B. announced C. guessed D. noticed Question 58: The word distinguish in bold type is closest in meaning to. A. make improvements B. accept changes C. recognize differences D. allow exceptions Question 59: The word it in bold type refers to. A. the same edition B. the reverse side C. a print D. the image Question 60: Where in the passage does the author indicate where an artist s signature might be found on a work? A. Lines B. Lines 6-7 C. Lines 9-10 D. Lines 11-13

116 Question 61: What does the author mean by the statement: As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their prints, their work began to increase in value? A. The signatures became more valuable than the prints B. Many copies of the prints were made. C. The prints that were signed and numbered were worth more. D.

121 As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased. The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities. Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility. Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society. The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling. By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened. Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies. Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations. Immigrant women were once such population. Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home. Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American education gave homemaking a new definition. In preindustrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States, however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children efficiently in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others. Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date. Question 35: The paragraph preceding the whole reading passage probably discusses. A. the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the nineteen century. B. the formal schooling in the United States in the nineteen century. C. the urbanization in the United States in the nineteen century. D. the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society in the nineteen century. Question 36: It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing importance

A. the expanding economic problems of schools B. the growing number of schools in frontier communities C. an increase in the number of trained teachers D. the increased urbanization of the entire country Question 37: The word means in bold type is closest in meaning to. A. qualifications B. advantages C. probability D. method Question 38: The phrase coincided with in bold type is closest in meaning to. A. happened at the same time as B. ensured the success of C. was influenced by D. began to grow rapidly Question 39: According to the passage, one important change in United States education by the 1920 s was that. A. the amount of time spent on formal education was limited B. new regulations were imposed on nontraditional education C. adults and children studied in the same classes D. most places required children to attend school Question 40: Vacation schools and extracurricular activities are mentioned in paragraph 2 to illustrate.

A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 1 D. Paragraph 3 * Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase for each of blanks When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently come across words you do not (45) understand. Sometimes you (46) the meaning in a dictionary and sometimes you guess. The strategy you adopt depends very much upon the (47) of accuracy you require and the time at your disposal. If you are the sort of person who tends to turn to the dictionary frequently, it is (48) remembering that every dictionary has its limitations. Each definition is only an approximation and one builds up an accurate picture of the meaning of a word only after meeting it in a (49) of contexts. It is also important to recognize the special dangers of dictionaries that translate from English into your native language and vice versa. If you must use a dictionary, it is usually far safer to (50) an English- English dictionary. In most exams you are not permitted to use a dictionary. (51) you are allowed to use one, it is very time- consuming to look up words, and time in exams is usually limited. You are, (52), forced to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words. When you come across unknown words in an exam text, it is very easy to panic. However, if you develop efficient techniques for guessing the meaning, you will(53) a number of possible problems and help yourself to understand far more of the text than you at first likely.

A. of B. with C. on D. about * Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. The art world One of the major problems in the art world is how to distinguish and promote an artist. In effect, a market must be created for an artist to be successful. The practice of signing and numbering individual prints was introduced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the nineteenth - century artist best known for the painting of his mother, called Arrangement in Grey and Black, but known to most of us as Whistler s Mother. Whistler s brother - in - law, Sir Francis Seymour Haden, a less well - known artist, had speculated that collectors might find prints more attractive if they knew that they were only a limited number of copies produced. By signing the work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each print. As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their prints, their work began to increase in value. When other artists noticed that the signed prints commanded higher prices, they began copying the procedure. Although most prints are signed on the right - hand side in the margin below the image, the placement of the signature is a matter of personal choice. Indeed, prints have been signed within the image, in any of the margins, or even on the reverse side of the print. Wherever the artist elects to sign it, a signed print is still valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition. Question 55: Which of the following would be a better title for the passage? A. Whistler s Mother B. The Practice of Signing Prints C. Copying Limited Edition Prints D. Whistler s Greatest Works Question 56: What made Whistler s work more valuable? A. His fame as an artist B. His painting of his mother. C. His signature on the prints D. His brother - in - law s prints. Question 57: The word speculated in bold type could best be replaced by. A. guessed B. noticed C. denied D. announced Question 58: The word distinguish in bold type is closest in meaning to. A. recognize differences B. make improvements C. allow exceptions D. accept changes Question 59: The word it in bold type refers to. A. the same edition B. the reverse side C. a print D. the image Question 60: Where in the passage does the author indicate where an artist s signature might be found

125 on a work? A. Lines 6-7 B. Lines 9-10 C. Lines D. Lines Question 61: What does the author mean by the statement: As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their prints, their work began to increase in value? A. The prints that were signed and numbered were worth more. B. The signing and numbering of prints was not very popular C. The signatures became more valuable than the prints D. Many copies of the prints were made. Question 62: What was true about the painting of Whistler s mother? A. It was painted by Sir Francis Seymour Haden. B. Its title was Arrangement in Grey and Black. C. It was not one of Whistler s best paintings. D. It was a completely new method of painting. Question 63: The author mentions all of the following as reasons why a collector prefers a signed print EXCEPT. A. it guarantees the print s authenticity B. it encourages higher prices for the print C. it limits the number of copies of the print D. it makes the print more personal Question 64: It can be inferred from the passage that artists number their prints.

As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased. The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities. Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility. Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society. The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the

139 century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling. By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened. Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies. Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations. Immigrant women were once such population. Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home. Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American education gave homemaking a new definition. In preindustrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States, however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children efficiently in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others. Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date. Question 35: The paragraph preceding the whole reading passage probably discusses. A. the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the nineteen century. B. the formal schooling in the United States in the nineteen century. C. the urbanization in the United States in the nineteen century. D. the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society in the nineteen century. Question 36: It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing importance of education in the United States was. A. the increased urbanization of the entire country B. an increase in the number of trained teachers C. the growing number of schools in frontier communities D. the expanding economic problems of schools Question 37: The word means in bold type is closest in meaning to. A. qualifications B. probability C. method D. advantages Question 38: The phrase coincided with in bold type is closest in meaning to.

140 A. was influenced by B. began to grow rapidly C. happened at the same time as D. ensured the success of Question 39: According to the passage, one important change in United States education by the 1920 s was that. A. the amount of time spent on formal education was limited B. new regulations were imposed on nontraditional education C. adults and children studied in the same classes D. most places required children to attend school Question 40: Vacation schools and extracurricular activities are mentioned in paragraph 2 to illustrate. A. the increased impact of public schools on students B. the importance of educational changes C. alternatives to formal education provided by public schools D. activities that competed to attract new immigrants to their programs. Question 41: According to the passage, early-twentieth century education reformers believed that. A. special programs should be set up in frontier communities to modernize them B. more women should be involved in education and industry C. corporations and other organizations damaged educational progress D. different groups needed different kinds of education Question 42: The word it in bold type refers to. A. production B. homemaking C. education D. consumption Question 43: Women were trained to be consumer homemakers as a result of. A. scarcity in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States B. economic necessity in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States C. income-producing activities in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States D. overproduction in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States Question 44: Which paragraph mentions the importance of abilities and experience in formal schooling? A. Paragraph 3 B. Paragraph 1 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 2 * Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase for each of blanks. When you read something in a foreign language, you frequently come across words you do not (45) understand. Sometimes you (46) the meaning in a dictionary and sometimes you guess. The strategy you adopt depends very much upon the (47) of accuracy you require and the time at your disposal.

141 If you are the sort of person who tends to turn to the dictionary frequently, it is (48) remembering that every dictionary has its limitations. Each definition is only an approximation and one builds up an accurate picture of the meaning of a word only after meeting it in a (49) of contexts. It is also important to recognize the special dangers of dictionaries that translate from English into your native language and vice versa. If you must use a dictionary, it is usually far safer to (50) an English- English dictionary. In most exams you are not permitted to use a dictionary. (51) you are allowed to use one, it is very time- consuming to look up words, and time in exams is usually limited. You are, (52), forced to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words. When you come across unknown words in an exam text, it is very easy to panic. However, if you develop efficient techniques for guessing the meaning, you will(53) a number of possible problems and help yourself to understand far more of the text than you at first likely. Two strategies which may help you guess the meaning of a word are: using contextual clues, both within the sentence and outside, and making uses (54) clues derived from the formation of the word.

A. of B. with C. on D. about * Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. The art world One of the major problems in the art world is how to distinguish and promote an artist. In effect, a market must be created for an artist to be successful. The practice of signing and numbering individual prints was introduced by James Abbott McNeill Whistler, the nineteenth - century artist best known for the painting of his mother, called Arrangement in Grey and Black, but known to most of us as Whistler s Mother. Whistler s brother - in - law, Sir Francis Seymour Haden, a less well - known artist, had speculated that collectors might find prints more attractive if they knew that they were only a limited

142 number of copies produced. By signing the work in pencil, an artist could guarantee and personalize each print. As soon as Whistler and Haden began the practice of signing and numbering their prints, their work began to increase in value. When other artists noticed that the signed prints commanded higher prices, they began copying the procedure. Although most prints are signed on the right - hand side in the margin below the image, the placement of the signature is a matter of personal choice. Indeed, prints have been signed within the image, in any of the margins, or even on the reverse side of the print. Wherever the artist elects to sign it, a signed print is still valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition. Question 55: Which of the following would be a better title for the passage? A. Whistler s Mother B. Copying Limited Edition Prints C. Whistler s Greatest Works D. The Practice of Signing Prints Question 56: What made Whistler s work more valuable? A. His signature on the prints B. His brother - in - law s prints. C. His fame as an artist D. His painting of his mother. Question 57: The word speculated in bold type could best be replaced by. A. guessed B. noticed C. denied D. announced Question 58: The word distinguish in bold type is closest in meaning to. A. accept changes B. allow exceptions C. make improvements D. recognize differences Question 59: The word it in bold type refers to. A. the same edition B. a print C. the image D. the reverse side Question 60: Where in the passage does the author indicate where an artist s signature might be found on a work? A. Lines B. Lines C. Lines 6-7 D.

C D 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 In the world today, particular in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

150 The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products. When low-quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throw-away must stop. The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After customers empty the bottles, they return them to the stores. The manufacturers of the drinks collect bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throw-away bottles. The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world s precious resources. Question 30. Which area is considered one of the most industrialized? A. South America B. Middle East C. Europe D. Asia Question 31.What does the word sensitive means? A. cautious B. logical C. responding D. friendly Question 32. The word motto is closest in meaning to. A. meaning B. value C. belief D. reference Question 33. It is a waste when customers buy low-quality products because. A. they have to be repaired many times. B. they will soon throw them away C. customers always change their idea D. they are very cheap.. Question 34. What is the topic of the passage? A. How to live sensitively to the environment. B. How to reduce garbage disposal. C. What is involved in the recycling movement. D. What people understand the term recycle Question 35. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT. A. buy high-quality products B. buy simply-wrapped things C. reuse cups D. buy more hamburgers Question 36. What best describe the process of reuse? A. The bottles are filled again after being returned, collected and washed. B. The bottles are collected, washed, returned and filled again. C. The bottles are washed, returned filled again and collected. D. The bottles are collected, returned, filled again and washed. Question 37. The word practice is closest in meaning to. A. training B. exercise C. deed D. belief Question 38.Garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because. A. people are ordered to return bottles B. returned bottles are few C. each returned bottle is paid D. few bottles are made of glass or plastic Question 39.What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling? A. TV sets and aluminum cans. B. Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil. C. Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings. D. Aluminum cans and spent motor oil. Read the following passage and circle the most suitable answer (A, B, C or D) to fill in each gap. Most Americans eat three meals (40) the day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast begins between 7:00 and 8:00am, lunch between 11:00 am and noon, and dinner between 6:00 and 8:00 pm. On Sundays

151 "brunch" is a (41) of breakfast and lunch, typically beginning at 11:00 am. Students often enjoy a "study break" or evening snack around 10:00 or 11:00 pm. Breakfast and lunch tend to be light meals, with only one (42). Dinner is the main meal. (43) breakfast Americans will eat cereal with milk which are often mixed (44) in a bowl, a glass of orange juice, and toasted bread or muffin with jam, butter, or margarine. Another common breakfast meal is scrambled eggs or (45) omelet with potatoes and breakfast meat (bacon or sausage). People who are on (46) eat just a cup of yogurt. Lunch and dinner are more (47).

(28) breakfast Americans will eat cereal with milk which are often mixed (29) in a bowl, a glass of orange juice, and toasted bread or muffin with jam, butter, or margarine.

A B C D Question 39.Mrs. Stevens, along with her cousins from New Mexico, are planning to attend the festivities. A B C D 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 In the world today, particular in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is the big news. People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products. When low-quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throw-away must stop. The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After customers empty the bottles, they return them to the stores. The manufacturers of the drinks collect bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throw-away bottles. The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world s precious resources. Question 40. Which area is considered one of the most industrialized? A. South America B. Middle East C. Europe D. Asia Question 41. What does the word sensitive means? A. cautious B. logical C. responding D. friendly Question 42. The word motto is closest in meaning to. A. meaning B. value C. belief D. reference Question 43. It is a waste when customers buy low-quality products because. A. they have to be repaired many times. B. they will soon throw them away

156 C. customers always change their idea D. they are very cheap.. Question 44. What is the topic of the passage? A. How to live sensitively to the environment. B. How to reduce garbage disposal. C. What is involved in the recycling movement. D. What people understand the term recycle Question 45. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT. A. buy high-quality products B. buy simply-wrapped things C. reuse cups D. buy more hamburgers Question 46. What best describe the process of reuse? A. The bottles are filled again after being returned, collected and washed. B. The bottles are collected, washed, returned and filled again. C. The bottles are washed, returned filled again and collected. D. The bottles are collected, returned, filled again and washed. Question 47. The word practice is closest in meaning to. A. training B. exercise C. deed D. belief Question 48.Garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because. A. people are ordered to return bottles B. returned bottles are few C. each returned bottle is paid D. few bottles are made of glass or plastic Question 49. What are the two things mentioned as examples of recycling? A. TV sets and aluminum cans. B. Hamburger wrappings and spent motor oil. C. Aluminum cans and plastic wrappings. D. Aluminum cans and spent motor oil. Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following sentences. Question 50. for breakfast is bread and eggs.

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. 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 to day emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion off Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not expanded even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two century, English began too 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 scored on computer systems worldwide is in English. Two thirds of the world's science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airport, and air traffic controllers. Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are non-native speakers, constituting the largest number of non-native users than any other language in the world.

People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment. Recycling means finding ways to use products a second time. The motto of the recycling movement is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. The first step is to reduce garbage. In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings. A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box and a bag. All that packaging is wasted resources. People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils. Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products. When low-quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy. For example, if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message. In the same way, if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers. To reduce garbage, the throw-away must stop. The second step is to reuse. It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles. After customers empty the bottles, they return them to the stores. The manufacturers of the drinks collect bottles, wash them, and then fill them again. The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved. In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice. In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throw-away bottles. The third step being environmentally sensitive is to recycle. Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again. Aluminum cans are expensive to make. It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours. When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world s precious resources. Question 55.. Which area is considered one of the most industrialized? A. Asia B. Middle East C. South America D. Europe Question 56. What does the word sensitive means? A. logical B. cautious C. friendly D. responding Question 57. The word motto is closest in meaning to. A. reference B. meaning C. value D. belief Question 58. It is a waste when customers buy low-quality products because. A. they have to be repaired many times. B. customers always change their idea C. they are very cheap. D. they will soon throw them away. Question 59. What is the topic of the passage? A. How to reduce garbage disposal. B. What is involved in the recycling movement. C. What people understand the term recycle D. How to live sensitively to the environment Question 60. People can do the following to reduce waste EXCEPT. A. reuse cups B. buy high-quality products

The bottles are filled again after being returned, collected and washed. C. The bottles are collected, returned, filled again and washed. D. The bottles are washed, returned filled again and collected. Question 62. The word practice is closest in meaning to. A. deed B. exercise C. training D. belief Question 63.Garbage dumps in some areas have relatively little glass and plastic because. A. returned bottles are few B. few bottles are made of glass or plastic C. each returned bottle is paid D. people are ordered to return bottles Question 64.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Before photography was invented in 1839, painted portraits, and engravings based on them, were one of the few ways to record likenesses. From the Colonial era through the 1820s, portraiture was the most widely practiced genre of American art, and it continued to be a significant form through the 19th century. The demand for likenesses was incessant, and portraiture was often the primary source of income for artists. Artists frequently made portraits of famous people to attract interest and potential patrons. For example, in 1834 Chester Harding painted frontiersman Davy Crockett, then a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, for display in his Boston gallery. A consistent belief through most of the 18th and 19th centuries was that character could be read from a person's face, or the bumps on his or her head, or from facial expressions, and that portraits should convey these indicators of character. These theories of physiognomy and phrenology have since been debunked, but they were important considerations in depicting the nation's leaders, since such portraits were often made for posterity. Most people had only one portrait painted in their lifetime, if at all, so artists were selected with great care, and expectations were high. Before the 1840s, American portraiture was influenced primarily by English techniques, poses, compositions and gestures, and many artists received at least part of their training in England. Even canvas sizes followed the British example. Portraits made on commission were priced according to canvas size and the materials and labor involved. In the late 19th century as European portraitists began traveling to the United States to acquire commissions from the growing upper class, American artists increasingly felt they needed to train abroad in order to succeed at home. Paris continued to be the main lure as painters such as Eakins, Whistler, Beaux and Sargent went to study there. Some of America's best-known portraitists, in fact, became expatriates. 1. Where in the passage does the author draw a comparison of American and English practices in producing commission portraits? A. the first paragraph B. the fourth paragraph

172 C. the third paragraph D. the second paragraph 2. In what ways did American artists try to gain greater success?

American artists in Paris D. artists moving between countries 4. Why does the author mention Davy Crocket in paragraph 1? A. as an example of an artist using a famous person to gain attention to his work B. as an example of the types of people who could afford to pay for their portrait to be painted C. because Crocket was also a famous artist D. because gallery owners often had famous people as patrons 5. In paragraph 2, what did people look for in a good portrait? A. every detail, including bumps on the head B. an accurate likeness C. indicators of character D. clear facial expressions 6. Physiognomy and phrenology are theories A. that are no longer as popular B. that were used to enable people to select artists with the best characteristics in their appearance C. that were used to try to get the closet likeness possible D. that meant people usually only needed one portrait 7.

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Who talk more - men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations, where they use conversation as the "glue" to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that

176 we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one "best friend", their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics. A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk very differently to their son than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents use more language with their girls. Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness, with daughters than with sons. 47. Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the first paragraph? A.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Before photography was invented in 1839, painted portraits, and engravings based on them, were one of the few ways to record likenesses. From the Colonial era through the 1820s, portraiture was the most widely practiced genre of American art, and it continued to be a significant form through the 19th century. The demand for likenesses was incessant, and portraiture was often the primary source of income for artists. Artists frequently made portraits of famous people to attract interest and potential patrons. For example, in 1834 Chester Harding painted frontiersman Davy Crockett, then a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, for display in his Boston gallery. A consistent belief through most of the 18th and 19th centuries was that character could be read from a person's face, or the bumps on his or her head, or from facial expressions, and that portraits should convey these indicators of character. These theories of physiognomy and phrenology have since been debunked, but they were important considerations in depicting the nation's leaders, since such portraits were often made for posterity. Most people had only one portrait painted in their lifetime, if at all, so artists were selected with great care, and expectations were high. Before the 1840s, American portraiture was influenced primarily by English techniques, poses, compositions and gestures, and many artists received at least part of their training in England. Even canvas sizes followed the British example. Portraits made on commission were priced according to canvas size and the materials and labor involved. In the late 19th century as European portraitists began traveling to the United States to acquire commissions from the growing upper class, American artists increasingly felt they needed to train abroad in order to succeed at home. Paris continued to be the main lure as painters such as Eakins, Whistler, Beaux and Sargent went to study there. Some of America's best-known portraitists, in fact, became expatriates. 30. In paragraph 2, what did people look for in a good portrait?

182 A. clear facial expressions B. every detail, including bumps on the head C. indicators of character D. an accurate likeness 31. In what ways did American artists try to gain greater success? A. by becoming expatriates B. by traveling abroad for training C. by inviting European artists to America D. by not only painting portraits 32. Physiognomy and phrenology are theories A. that are no longer as popular B. that were used to try to get the closet likeness possible C. that meant people usually only needed one portrait D. that were used to enable people to select artists with the best characteristics in their appearance 33. Which of the following statements best represents the meaning of the first sentence (lines1 and 2) before photography was invented in 1839? A. engravings were based on portraits and not as lifelike B. painted portraits and engravings were very lifelike. C. there were not many ways other than painted portraits and engravings if you wanted to record what somebody looked like. D. there was no accurate way to record a likeness before photography was invented. 34. Why does the author mention Davy Crocket in paragraph 1? A. as an example of an artist using a famous person to gain attention to his work B. as an example of the types of people who could afford to pay for their portrait to be painted C. because gallery owners often had famous people as patrons D. because Crocket was also a famous artist 35. What does the passage mainly discussed? A. the influence of other countries on American art B. portraiture in 19th century America C. the early years of photography D. art in 19th century America 36. The final paragraph of the passage will probably continue with a discussion of. A. other ways artists tried to gain local publicity. B. other lesser known artists C. American artists in Paris D. artists moving between countries 37. The word poses (in Line 1- paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to A. stance B. manner C. height D. weight

191 each of the questions. Before photography was invented in 1839, painted portraits, and engravings based on them, were one of the few ways to record likenesses. From the Colonial era through the 1820s, portraiture was the most widely practiced genre of American art, and it continued to be a significant form through the 19th century. The demand for likenesses was incessant, and portraiture was often the primary source of income for artists. Artists frequently made portraits of famous people to attract interest and potential patrons. For example, in 1834 Chester Harding painted frontiersman Davy Crockett, then a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, for display in his Boston gallery. A consistent belief through most of the 18th and 19th centuries was that character could be read from a person's face, or the bumps on his or her head, or from facial expressions, and that portraits should convey these indicators of character. These theories of physiognomy and phrenology have since been debunked, but they were important considerations in depicting the nation's leaders, since such portraits were often made for posterity. Most people had only one portrait painted in their lifetime, if at all, so artists were selected with great care, and expectations were high. Before the 1840s, American portraiture was influenced primarily by English techniques, poses, compositions and gestures, and many artists received at least part of their training in England. Even canvas sizes followed the British example. Portraits made on commission were priced according to canvas size and the materials and labor involved. In the late 19th century as European portraitists began traveling to the United States to acquire commissions from the growing upper class, American artists increasingly felt they needed to train abroad in order to succeed at home. Paris continued to be the main lure as painters such as Eakins, Whistler, Beaux and Sargent went to study there. Some of America's best-known portraitists, in fact, became expatriates. 40. What does the passage mainly discussed? A. the early years of photography B. portraiture in 19th century America C. art in 19th century America D. the influence of other countries on American art 41.

192 D. as an example of the types of people who could afford to pay for their portrait to be painted 43. In paragraph 2, what did people look for in a good portrait?

Which of the following statements best represents the meaning of the first sentence (lines1 and 2) before photography was invented in 1839? A. engravings were based on portraits and not as lifelike B. there was no accurate way to record a likeness before photography was invented.

Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Who talk more - men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations, where they use conversation as the "glue" to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one "best friend", their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics. A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk very differently to their son than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents use more language with their girls. Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness, with daughters than with sons. 53. Which word could best replace "startling" in line 10?

Girls have more practice discussing sadness than boys do. B. Boys don't like to be with their parents as much as girls do. C. A recent study found that parents talk differently to their sons and daughters. D. Parents don't enjoy talking with their sons as much as with their daughters. 58. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. Men and women have different styles of talking, which may begin in childhood. B. According to Deborah Tannen, the belief that women talk more is partly right but most wrong and oversimplified. C. Women talk more in public situations, men talk more in others. D.

Then choose the answer A, B, C, or D that you think fits best Printmaking is the generic term for a number of processes, of which woodcut and engraving are two prime examples. Prints are made by pressing a sheet of paper (or other material) against an imagebearing surface to which ink has been applied. When the paper is removed, the image adheres to it, but in reverse. The woodcut had been used in China from the fifth century A.D. for applying patterns to textiles. The process was not introduced into Europe until the fourteenth century, first for textile decoration and then for printing on paper. Woodcuts are created by a relief process; first, the artist takes a block of wood, which has been sawed parallel to the grain, covers it with a white ground, and then draws the image in ink. The background is carved away, leaving the design area slightly raised. The woodblock is inked, and the ink adheres to the raised image. It is then transferred to damp paper either by hand or with a printing press. Engraving, which grew out of the goldsmith's art, originated in Germany and northern Italy in the middle of the fifteenth century. It is an intaglio process (from Italian intagliare, "to carve"). The image is incised into a highly polished metal plate, usually copper, with a cutting instrument, or burin. The artist inks the plate and wipes it clean so that some ink remains in the incised grooves. An MÃ ĐỀ 121 Trang 3/7

209 impression is made on damp paper in a printing press, with sufficient pressure being applied so that the paper picks up the ink. Both woodcut and engraving have distinctive characteristics. Engraving lends itself to subtle modeling and shading through the use of fine lines. Hatching and cross-hatching determine the degree of light and shade in a print. Woodcuts tend to be more linear, with sharper contrasts between light and dark. Printmaking is well suited to the production of multiple images. A set of multiples is called an edition. Both methods can yield several hundred good-quality prints before the original block or plate begins to show signs of wear. Mass production of prints in the sixteenth century made images available, at a lower cost, to a much broader public than before. 51. What does the passage mainly discuss? A.

Read the passage and the quetions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer A, B, C, or D that you think fits best In Death Valley, California, one of the hottest, most arid places in North America, there is much salt, and salt can damage rocks impressively. Inhabitants of areas elsewhere, where streets and highways are salted to control ice, are familiar with the resulting rust and deterioration on cars. That attests to the chemically corrosive nature of salt, but it is not the way salt destroys rocks. Salt breaks rocks apart principally by a process called crystal prying and wedging. This happens not by soaking the rocks in salt water, but by moistening their bottoms with salt water. Such conditions exist in many areas along the eastern edge of central Death Valley. There, salty water rises from the groundwater table by capillary action through tiny spaces in sediment until it reaches the surface. Most stones have capillary passages that suck salt water from the wet ground. Death Valley provides an ultra-dry atmosphere and high daily temperatures, which promote evaporation and the formation of salt crystals along the cracks or other openings within stones. These crystals grow as long as salt water is available. Like tree roots breaking up a sidewalk, the growing crystals exert pressure on the rock and eventually pry the rock apart along planes of weakness, such as banding in metamorphic rocks, bedding in sedimentary rocks, or preexisting or incipient fractions, and along boundaries between individual mineral crystals or grains. Besides crystal growth, the expansion of halite crystals (the same as everyday table salt) by heating and of sulfates and similar salts by hydration can contribute additional stresses. A rock durable enough to have withstood natural MÃ ĐỀ 121 Trang 5/7

211 conditions for a very long time in other areas could probably be shattered into small pieces by salt weathering within a few generations. The dominant salt in Death Valley is halite, or sodium chloride, but other salts, mostly carbonates and sulfates, also cause prying and wedging, as does ordinary ice. Weathering by a variety of salts, though often subtle, is a worldwide phenomenon. Not restricted to arid regions, intense salt weathering occurs mostly in salt-rich places like the seashore, near the large saline lakes in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica, and in desert sections of Australia, New Zealand, and central Asia. 71. What is the passage mainly about? A. The destructive effects of salt on rocks. B. The amount of salt produced in Death Valley. C. The impressive salt rocks in Death Valley. D. The damaging effects of salt on roads and highways. 72. The word "it" in line 8 refers to A. salty water B. groundwater table C. capillary action D. sediment 73. The word "exert" in line 12 is closest in meaning to A. put B. reduce C. replace D. control 74. In lines 13-17, why does the author compare tree roots with growing salt crystals? A. They both force hard surfaces to crack. B. They both grow as long as water is available. C. They both react quickly to a rise in temperature. D. They both cause salty water to rise from the groundwater table. 75. In lines 17-18, the author mentions the "expansion of halite crystals...by heating and of sulfates and similar salts by hydration" in order to A. present an alternative theory about crystal growth B. explain how some rocks are not affected by salt C. simplify the explanation of crystal prying and wedging D. introduce additional means by which crystals destroy rocks 76. The word "durable" in line 17 is closest in meaning to A. large B. strong C. flexible D. pressured 77. The word "shattered" in line 18 is closest in meaning to A. arranged B. dissolved C. broken apart D. gathered together 78. The word "dominant" in line 20 is closest in meaning to A. most recent B. most common C.least available D.least damaging 79. According to the passage, which of the following is true about the effects of salts on rocks? A. Only two types of salts cause prying and wedging. B. Salts usually cause damage only in combination with ice. C. A variety of salts in all kinds of environments can cause weathering. D. Salt damage at the seashore is more severe than salt damage in Death Valley. 80. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about rocks that are found in areas where ice is common? A. They are protected from weathering. B. They do not allow capillary action of water. C. They show similar kinds of damage as rocks in Death Valley. D. They contain more carbonates than sulfates.

Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider. Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work? There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in order of importance to you.

217 The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all day. If not, there are diversity occupation building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent that involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields in concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country. If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission. Don t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors. Another point to consider is that as you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your final one. Question 45: The author states that There are no right or wrong answers in paragraph 2 in order to. A. emphasize that each person s answers will be different. B. show that answering the questions is a long and difficult process. C. indicate that the answers are not really important. D. indicate that each person s answers may change over time.

A. discovering B. considering C. measuring D. disposing Question 48: According to paragraph 3, which of the following fields is NOT suitable for a person who does not want to live in a big city?

B. as you get older, your career will probably less fulfilling. C. you will be at your job for a lifetime, so choose carefully. D. you will probably jobless at some time in the future. Question 53: Why does the author mention long, grueling hours without sleeps in paragraph 5? A. To emphasize the difficulty of working as a plumber. B. To contrast the reality of a flight attendant s job with most people s perception. C. To show that people must work hard for the career they have chosen. D. To discourage readers from choosing a career as a flight attendant. Question 54: According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. To make a lot of money, you should not take a job with a low starting salary. B. To make lots of money, you should rule out all factory jobs. C. If you want an easy and glamorous lifestyle, you should consider becoming flight attendant D. Your initial view of certain careers may not be accurate. 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 55 to 64. Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their name from the Japanese expression for "high water in a harbor". These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they have relatively little to do with tides. Scientists often refer to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they do result from undersea seismic activity. Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or volcano, for example, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced. This sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves. These waves can travel great distances at speeds close to 700 kilometers per hour. In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable amplitude, often no more than one or two meters. It is when they hit the shallow water the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 meters. Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity. Two areas of the Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis arc Japan and Hawaii. Because the seismic activity that causes tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often comes with little warning and can therefore prove disastrous. Most of the tsunamis that hit the

219 Hawaiian Islands, however, originate thousands of miles away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time for warning of their imminent arrival. Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii. In 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami, when movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused a massive tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon. The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other side of the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was witnessed as far away as the English Channel. Question 55: The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses. A. underwater earthquakes B. storm surges C. tides D. tidal waves Question 56: According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves EXCEPT that. A. they're caused by sudden changes in high and low tides B. they refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves C. they are the same as tsunamis D. this terminology is not used by the scientific community Question 57: The world "displaced" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to. A. located B. filtered C. moved D. not pleased Question 58: It can be inferred from the passage that tsunamis. A. are often identified by ships on the ocean B. generally reach heights greater than 40 meters C. are far more dangerous on the coast than in the open ocean D. cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean Question 59: As used in the passage, water that is "shallow" in the second paragraph isn't. A. coastal B. deep C. clear D. tidal Question 60: A main difference between tsunamis in Japan and in Hawaii is that tsunamis in Japan are more likely to. A. come from greater distances B. be less of a problem C. originate in Alaska D. arrive without warning Question 61: The possessive "their" in the third paragraph refers to. A. these tsunamis B. the inhabitants of Hawaii C. the Hawaiian islands D. thousands of miles Question 62: A "calamitous" tsunami in the last paragraph is one that is.

BODY LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than the words they are saying. We use body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and changes in our voice to communicate with each other. Although some body language is universal, many gestures are culturally specific and may mean different things in different countries. If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to say no and shake it to say yes - the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger or snapping your fingers at someone is very rude. In France, you shouldn t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your hands in your pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show the soles of your feet or shoes to others as it will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your right hand because they use their left hands when going to the bathroom. In Bangladesh, the thumbs-up is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping, and in India, whistling in public is considered rude. In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp at the end of a meal to show that you have enjoyed it. The OK sign (thumb and index finger forming a circle) means everything is good in the West, but in China it means nothing or zero. In Japan, it means money, and in the Middle East, it is a rude gesture. Question 36: It is mentioned in the passage that many gestures. A. can be used to greet each other in public B. may mean different things in different countries C. are used in greeting among men and women D. are not used to communicate our feelings Question 37: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. In France, people shouldn t rest their feet on tables B. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping C. In Belgium, snapping your fingers at someone is very rude D. In China, the OK sign means money Question 38: In the Middle East, people do not use their left hands for eating because they use their left hands. A. to clean their tables and chairs B. when going to the bathroom C. when preparing the meal D. to put in their pockets Question 39: People nod their head to say no in. Trang 3/4 - Mã đề thi 209

Ethology is concerned with the study of adaptive, or survival, value of behavior and its Evolutionary history. Ethological theory began to be applied to research on children in the1960 s but has become even more influential today. The origins of ethology can be traced to the work of Darwin. Its modern foundations were laid by two European zoologists, Konrad Lorenz and Niko Tinbergen. Watching the behaviors diverse animal species in their natural habitats, Lorenz, and Tinbergen observed behavior patterns that promote survival. The most well-known of these is imprinting, the early following behavior of certain baby birds that ensures that the young will stay close to their mother and be fed and protected from danger. Imprinting takes place during an early, restricted time period of development. If the mother goose is not present during this time, but an object resembling her in important features is, young goslings may imprint on it instead. Observations of imprinting led to major concept that has been applied in child Development the critical period. It refers to a limited times span during which the child is biologically prepared to acquire certain adaptive behaviors but needs the support of suitably stimulating environment. Many researchers have conducted studies to find out whether complex cognitive and social behaviors must be learned during restricted time

234 periods. for example, if children are deprived of adequate food or physical and social stimulation during the early years of life, will their intelligence be permanently impaired? If language is not mastered during the preschool years, is the child s capacity to acquire it reduced? Inspired by observations of imprinting, in 1969 the British psychoanalyst John Bowlby applied ethological theory to the understanding of the relationship between an infant and its parents. He argued that attachment behaviors of babies, such as smiling, babbling, grasping, and crying, are built-in social signals that encourage the parents to approach, care for, and interact with the baby. By keeping a parent near, these behaviors help ensure that the baby will be fed, protected from danger, and provided with the stimulation and affection necessary for healthy growth. The development of attachment in human infants is a lengthy process involving changes in psychological structures that lead to a deep affectional tie between parent and baby. Question 26: What was Darwin s contribution to ethology? A. Darwin was the first person to apply ethological theory to children. B. Darwin s work provided the basis for ethology. C. Darwin was the professor who taught Lorenz and Tinbergen. D. Darwin improved on the original principles of ethology. Question 27: The word diverse is closest in meaning to A. small B. wild C. varied D. particular Question 28: The word ensures is closest in meaning to A. assumes B. guarantees C. proves D. teaches Question 29: According to the passage, if a mother goose is not present during the time period when imprinting takes place, which of the following will most likely occur? A. The mother will later imprint on the gosling. B. The gosling may not find a mate when it matures. C. The gosling will not imprint on any object. D. The gosling may imprint on another object. Question 30: The word it refers to A. time B. object C. development D. goose Question 31: The word suitably is closest in meaning to A. moderately B. appropriately C. willingly D. emotionally Question 32: The author mentions all of the following as attachment behaviors of human infants EXCEPT A. smiling B. crying C. eating D. grasping Question 33: According to the passage, attachment behaviors of infants are intended to A. prepare the infant to cope with separation

The biologist's role in society as well as his moral and ethical responsibility in the discovery and development of new ideas has led to a reassessment of his social and scientific value systems. A scientist can no longer ignore the consequences of his discoveries; he is as concerned with the possible misuses of his findings as he is with the basic research in which he is involved. This emerging social and political role of the biologist and all other scientists requires a weighing of values that cannot be done with the accuracy or the objectivity of a laboratory balance. As a member of society, it is necessary for a biologist now to redefine his social obligations and his functions, particularly in the realm of making judgments about such ethical problems as man's control of his environment or his manipulation of genes to direct further evolutionary development. As a result of recent discoveries concerning hereditary mechanisms, genetic engineering, by which human traits are made to order, may soon be a reality. As desirable as it may seem to be, such an accomplishment would entail many value judgments. Who would decide, for example, which traits should be selected for change? In cases of genetic deficiencies and disease, the desirability of the change is obvious, but the possibilities for social misuse are so numerous that they may far outweigh the benefits. Probably the greatest biological problem of the future, as it is of the present, will be to find ways to curb environmental pollution without interfering with man's constant effort to improve the quality of his life. Many scientists believe that underlying the spectre of pollution is the problem of surplus human population. A rise in population necessitates an increase in the operations of modern industry, the waste products of which increase the pollution of air, water, and soil. The question of how many people the resources of the Earth can support is one of critical importance. Although the solutions to these and many other problems are yet to be found, they do indicate the

236 need for biologists to work with social scientists and other members of society in order to determine the requirements necessary for maintaining a healthy and productive planet. For although many of man's present and future problems may seem to be essentially social, political, or economic in nature, they have biological ramifications that could affect the very existence of life itself.

The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and many contrasts: its bare mountains and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. Many of the most beautiful areas are national parks and are protected from development. When British people think of the countryside they think of farmland, as well as open spaces. They imagine cows or sheep in green fields enclosed by hedges or stone walls, and fields of wheat and barley. Most farmland is privately owned but is crossed by a network of public footpaths. Many people associate the countryside with peace and relaxation. They spend their free time walking or cycling there, or go to the country for a picnic or a pub lunch. In summer people go to fruit farms and pick strawberries and other fruit. Only a few people who live in the country work on farms. Many commute to work in towns. Many others dream of living in the country, where they believe they would have a better and healthier lifestyle. The countryside faces many threats. Some are associated with modern farming practices, and the use of chemicals harmful to plants and wildlife. Land is also needed for new houses. The green belt, an area of land around many cities, is under increasing pressure. Plans to build new roads are strongly opposed by organizations trying to protect the countryside. Protesters set up camps to prevent, or at least delay, the building work. 5

250 America has many areas of wild and beautiful scenery, and there are many areas, especially in the West in states like Montana and Wyoming, where few people live. In the New England states, such as Vermont and New Hampshire, it is common to see small farms surrounded by hills and green areas. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other Midwestern states, fields of corn or wheat reach to the horizon and there are many miles between towns. Only about 20% of Americans live outside cities and towns. Life may be difficult for people who live in the country. Services like hospitals and schools may be further away and going shopping can mean driving long distances. Some people even have to drive from their homes to the main road where their mail is left in a box. In spite of the disadvantages, many people who live in the country say that they like the safe, clean, attractive environment. But their children often move to a town or city as soon as they can. As in Britain, Americans like to go out to the country at weekends. Some people go on camping or fishing trips, others go hiking in national parks.

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books. Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were 7

252 amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources. During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local women s organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women s history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later Generations of historians. Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth Century, most of the writing about women conformed to the great women theory of History, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on great men. To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women s right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published. Question 55: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The role of literature in early American histories B. The place of American women in written histories C. The keen sense of history shown by American women D. The great women approach to history used by American historians Question 56: The word contemporary in the 1 st paragraph means that the history was. A. informative B. thoughtful C. written at that time D. faultfinding Question 57: In the first paragraph, Bradstreet, Warren, and Adams are mentioned to show that. A. a woman s status was changed by marriage B. even the contributions of outstanding women were ignored C. only three women were able to get their writing published D. poetry produced by women was more readily accepted than other writing by women 8

American humor and American popular heroes were born together. The first popular heroes of the new nation were comic heroes, and the first popular humor of the new nation was the antics of its heroclowns. The heroic and the comic were combined in novel American proportions in popular literature. The heroic themes are obvious enough and not much different from those in the legends of other times and places: Achilles, Beowulf, Siegfried, Roland, and King Arthur. The American Davy Crockett legends repeat the familiar pattern of the old world heroic story: the pre-eminence of a mighty hero whose fame in myth has a tenuous basis in fact; the remarkable birth and precocious strength of the hero; single combats in which he distinguished himself against antagonists, both man and beast; vows and boasts; pride of the

257 hero in his weapons, his dog, and his woman. Davy Crockett conquered man and beast with a swaggering nonchalance. He overcame animals by force of body and will. He killed four wolves at the age of six. He hugged a bear to death; he killed a rattlesnake with his teeth. He mastered the forces of nature. Crockett s most famous natural exploit was saving the earth on the coldest day in history. First, he climbed a mountain to determine the trouble. Then he rescued all creation by squeezing bear-grease on the earth s frozen axis and over the sun s icy face. He whistled, Push along, keep moving! The earth gave a grunt and began moving. Neither the fearlessness nor the bold huntsman s prowess was peculiarly American. Far more distinctive was the comic quality, all heroes are heroic; few are also clowns. What made the American popular hero heroic also made him comic. May be, said Crockett, you ll laugh at me and not at my book. The ambiguity of American life and the vagueness which laid the continent open to adventure, which made the land a rich storehouse of the unexpected, which kept vocabulary ungoverned and the language fluid----this same ambiguity suffused both the Crockett legends were never quite certain whether to laugh or to applaud, or whether what they saw and heard was wonderful, awful or ridiculous. Question 6: What is the main point the author makes in the passage? A. Davy Crockett wrote humorous stories about mastering the nature. B. American popular heroes were characteristically comic. C. The Davy Crockett stories reflected the adventurous spirit of early America. D. American popular literature was based on the legends of other times and places. Question 7: Achilles, Beowulf, and other heroes are mentioned in paragraph 2 to. A. show their similar heroic nature with the American heroes. B. show the role they play in the world legend history. C. compare their popularity with that of the American heroes. D. conclude heroic deeds described in old world heroic legends. Question 8: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a heroic theme? A. Superior physical strength B. Pride in the hero woman C. Fluid use of language D. Boasting by the hero Question 9: The word antagonists could be best replaced by. A. wild animals B. heroes C. forces D. opponents Question 10: Davy Crockett is an example of.

The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage. Especially by comparison with Britain, Americans had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood. The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax

261 forest. Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points. Nevertheless, all sorts of fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests. By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but wood was still extremely abundant. The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated. Wood was a foundation of the economy. Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree unknown in Britain. Secondly, wood was used as fuel for heating and cooking. Thirdly, it was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a component of gunpowder; and tannic acid, used for tanning leather. The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well. Iron at that time was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal. Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable to exploit her rich iron mines. But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful. However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger than coke iron. Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution. In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron. Question 48: What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The advantages of using wood in the colonies B. The effects of an abundance of wood on the colonies C. The roots of the Industrial Revolution D. The difference between charcoal iron and coke iron Question 49: The word strikingly in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to. A. realistically B. dramatically C. completely D. immediately Question 50: Which of the following is a common assumption about the forests of North America during the colonial period? A. They contained only a few types of trees. B. They existed only along the Atlantic seaboard. C. They had little or no economic value. D. They covered the entire continent. Question 51: The word abundant in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to. A. redundant B. sufficient C. insufficient D. plentiful Question 52: According to the passage, by the end of the colonial period, the price of wood in Eastern cities.

262 A. rose quickly because wood was becoming so scarce. B. was much higher than it was in Britain. C. was slightly higher than in previous years. D. decreased rapidly because of lower demand for wood. Question 53: What can be inferred about houses in Britain during the period written about in the passage? A. They were more expensive than American houses. B. They were generally built with imported materials. C. They were typically smaller than homes in North America. D. They were usually built from materials built from materials other than wood. Question 54: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source of industrial compounds? A. potash B. charcoal C. gunpowder D. tannic acid Question 55: Why does the author mention gunpowder in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the negative aspects of some industrial processes B. To remind readers that the colonial era ended in warfare C. To give an example of a product made with wood compounds D. To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the colonies Question 56: The phrase follow suit in paragraph 4 means. A. do the same thing B. make an attempt C. have the opportunity D. take a risk Question 57: According to the passage, why was the use of coke smelting advantageous? A.

This rapid transcontinental settlement and these new urban industrial circumstances of the last half of the 19th century were accompanied by the development of a national literature of great abundance and variety. New themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new authors, new audiences all emerged in the literature of this half century. As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American literature had evolved remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest. No longer was it produced, at least in its popular forms, in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle-class young people the only central characters in its narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed, were fiction, poetry, drama, and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was literature read primarily by young, middle class women. In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the condition Walt Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his own major work, each state and region as peers "and expands from them, and includes the world... connecting an American citizen with the citizens of all nations." At the same time, these years saw the emergence of what has been designated "the literature of argument," powerful works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of them impelled by the spirit of exposure and reform. Just as America learned to play a role in this half century as an autonomous international political, economic, and military power, so did its literature establish itself as a producer of major works.

273 Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.

When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication. C. Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners. D. Everybody uses only one form of communication. Câu 49: Sign language is said to be very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally EXCEPT for A. spelling B. whole words C. ideas D. expressions Câu 50: What would be MOST likely to use Morse code?
