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 35 to 44.
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
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
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

A. weeds
B. nutrients
C. wildlife habitats
D. grazing area

the author most likely agree?
A. It is occasionally required.
B. It is safe but inefficient.
C. It should be increased.
D. It has become more dangerous recently.
Question 50: Which of the following is NOT given as an advantage of using biological agents over
chemical herbicides?
A. 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.

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
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.

After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the
United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvards 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
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.
Cu 55: What is the main focus of this passage?
A. How schools are changing to reflect the economy
B. Types of graduate degrees
C. Jobs on Wall Street
D. Changes in enrollment for MBA schools
Cu 56: The phrase two decades in the first paragraph refers to a period of_________.
A. 20 years
B. 100 years
C. 10 years
D. 50 years
Cu 57: The word prosperity in the first paragraph could best be replaced by_________.
A. Nurturing
B. success
C. Education
D. surplus
Cu 58: Which of the following business schools has NOT shown a decrease in enrollment?
A. Princeton
B. Stanford and Princeton
C. Stanford
D. Harvard
Cu 59: The phrase trend of in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. reluctance of
B. movement toward
C. extraction from
D. drawback to
Cu 60: As used in the second paragraph, the word seeking could best be replaced by which of the
following?
A. pursuing
B. seizing
C. avoiding
D. examining
Cu 61: Which of the following descriptions most likely applies to Wall Street?
A. A shopping district
B. A major financial centre

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
Cookes 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.
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.
Question 46: What is the main topic of this passage?
A. The educational benefits of atlases
B. Physical maps in an atlas
C. The ideal in the making of atlases
D. 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?
A. A country's population growth is presented clearly in the very first map in the atlas.
B. The atlas isn't as good as other educational medium in term of spatial communication.
C. The atlas provides readers with not only each country's life expectancy by religion but also its
language and literacy.
D. The atlas deals with such worthless information as population distribution and density.
Question 49: The word cleverly in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. clearly
B. immaculately
C. intelligently
D. accurately
Question 50: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Calorie consumption
B. Currency exchange rates

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. Egypt held Nubia in the south for almost 800 years. It served as Egypt's most
vital source of gold and slaves.
Question 56: The civilization of the ancient Egyptians was brought about by _____.

SECTION A (8 points)
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 peoples 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
persons 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 Confuciuss famous saying One picture is worth a
thousand words.

* Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
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 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. the growing number of schools in frontier communities

B. the increased urbanization of the entire country
C. the expanding economic problems of schools
D. an increase in the number of trained teachers
Question 37: The word means in bold type is closest in meaning to _____.
A. qualifications

D. method

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
Whistlers Mother. Whistlers 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.

A. Whistlers Mother

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.
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.

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.
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.
A. the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the nineteen century.

C. the urbanization in the United

painting of his mother, called Arrangement in Grey and Black, but known to most of us as Whistlers

they began copying the procedure.

signature is a matter of personal choice. Indeed, prints have been signed within the image, in any of the

valued above an unsigned one, even in the same edition.

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 worlds 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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
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 1066. 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

any other language in the world.

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.

VII. 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.

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
M 121
Trang 3/7
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.

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
M 121
Trang 5/7
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

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?

answer to each of the questions from 45 to 54.
Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care. View a
career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living. 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.
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.
Dont 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 persons 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.

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
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.

Read the text carefully and then choose the correct answers from 36 to 40.
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 shouldnt 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

A. In France, people shouldnt 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 ______.
A. Belgium
B. Bulgaria
C. France

A. other shoes

exchanging business cards is more complex in Japan (47)______ the business card represents not
only one's identity but also his (48)______ in life. Yours should be printed in your own language and
in Japanese. The Japanese are not a touch-oriented society; so avoid open displays of affection,

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 following questions.
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 the1960s 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
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 childs 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.

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 following questions.
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
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.

Sample 1: A cool teacher
The person I admire most is my grade 4 teacher, Ms. Muir. She was my inspiration. She was a poet and
gave me ideas for my stories. I followed in the footsteps of Ms. Muir because she was fun and loved
reading and writing just as much as I do. Ms. Muir always gave me guidance, encouragement and a
whole lot of enjoyable things to do in grade four! Also, if something happened that bothered me or
annoyed me, Ms. Muir did the best she could to fix the problem, whatever it was. In grade four, during
Writing Workshop, Ms. Muir encouraged my friend and me to write a book after we told her our idea .
On a previous blog homework in grade 5, about why Kindree is the best, I wrote a poem. Believe it or not,
the idea of writing that poem was inspired by Ms. Muir and her love of poetry. Ms. Muir was an awesome
teacher who motivated me. I really admire Ms. Muir and she inspires me.
Sample 2: A father
The person I admire most in my life is my dad. He is my role model. My dad takes me everywhere he
goes. My dad is very good at everything. I admire the way he dresses. I also admire the way he deals with
his problems. He takes me to soccer and stuff like that. He wants me to know everything he knows and
even more. Everyone in my family look up to him. my dad loves helping in the way he can. When I get
hurt or fell sad, he shows me the way out. Whenever I break my glasses, he fixes them. My dad always
has good listening ears and I can talk to him about everything. He always gives good advice. I will always
love my dad, a good inspiration.

correct answer to each of the question below.
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.
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.
Question 45: We can see from the passage that in the countryside of Britain _______

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
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 womens
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
womens 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 womens 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.

correct answer to each of the following questions.
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
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. Crocketts 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 earths frozen axis and over the suns icy face. He
whistled, Push along, keep moving! The earth gave a grunt and began moving.
Neither the fearlessness nor the bold huntsmans 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, youll 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.

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
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__________.
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

NM HC 2015 - 2016
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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B , C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
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.

the correct answer to each of the following questions from 55to 64.
An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the
atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely.
Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air
pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited
to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a far cry from the extensive list of harmful
substances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of
various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water
vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.
Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and
nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants
was altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles.
These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the
water or soil. On a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from
human activities.
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such a
region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification
scheme of the cycles. The result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air.
The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations
that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need
not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical value tells us little until we
know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally
in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million
(ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level
of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.
A. The economic impact of air pollution.
C. How much harm air pollutants can cause.
B. What constitutes an air pollutant
D.The effects of compounds added to the atmosphere
Question 46: The word "adversely" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A. negatively

C. admittedly
D. considerably
Question 47: It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _______.
A. water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas
B. most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled
C. the definition of air pollution will continue to change
D. a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities
Question 48:The word "These" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_.
A. the various chemical reactions
C. the compounds moved to the water
B. the pollutants from the developing Earth
D. the components in biogeochemical cycles
Question 49: For which of the following reasons can natural pollutants play an important role in
controlling air pollution?
A. They function as part of a purification process.
B. They occur in greater quantities than other pollutants.
C. They are less harmful to living beings than other pollutants.
D. They have existed since the Earth developed
Question 50: According to the passage, human-generated air pollution in localized regions _______.
A. can be dwarfed by nature's output of pollutants
B. can overwhelm the natural system that removes pollutants
C. will damage areas outside of the localized regions

the correct answer to each of the questions.
A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker.
The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of
language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through
performance. A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice
that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language
itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by
the pitch and melody of the utterance. When speaking before a group, a person's tone may
indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect
ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may belie them. Here the participants
tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or
interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernible by the
acute listener. Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with
its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture. The motivation derived from
the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills,
personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or
pedagogic communication.
Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and
emotional health. Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious,
shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound
may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an
overconfident front. How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in
any given conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or
discouraging the speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds
of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of
the depressed.
A. The function of the voice in performance
B. Communication styles
C. The connection between voice and personality
D. The production of speech
Question 56: What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may
reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen" in lines 8- 9?
A. Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are.
B. The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words.
C. A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication.
D. Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas.
Question 57: The word "Here" in line 9 refers to _____ .
A. interpersonal interactions
B. the tone
C. ideas and feelings
D. words chosen
Question 58: The word "derived" in line 13 is closest in meaning to _____ .

A. discussed
B. prepared
C. registered
D. obtained
Question 59: Why does the author mention "artistic, political, or pedagogic communication" in
line 14-15?
A. As examples of public performance
B. As examples of basic styles of communication
C. To contrast them to singing
D. To introduce the idea of self-image
Question 60: According to the passage, an exuberant tone of voice may be an indication of a

B. exactly
C. severely
D. easily

A. questioned
B. repeated
C. indicated

New surveys suggest that the technological tools we use to make our lives easier are killing our
leisure time. We are working longer hours, taking fewer and shorter vacations (and when we do go
away, we take our cell phones, PDAs, and laptops along). And, we are more stressed than ever as
increased use of e-mail, voice mail, cell phones, and the Internet is destroying any idea of privacy and
leisure.
Since the Industrial Revolution, people have assumed that new labor-saving devices would free
them from the burdens of the workplace and give them more time to grow intellectually, creatively,
and socially - exploring the arts, keeping up with current events, spending more time with friends and
family, and even just goofing off.
But here we are at the start of the 21st century, enjoying one of the greatest technological boom
times in human history, and nothing could be further from the truth. The very tools that were
supposed to liberate us have bound us to our work and study in ways that were inconceivable just a
few years ago. It would seem that technology almost never does what we expect.
In the old days, the lines between work and leisure time were markedly clearer. People left
their offices at a predictable time, were often completely disconnected from and out of touch with
their jobs as they traveled to and from work, and were off-duty once they were home. That is no
longer true. In today's highly competitive job market, employers demand increased productivity,
expecting workers to put in longer hours and to keep in touch almost constantly via fax, cell phones,
e-mail, or other communications devices. As a result, employees feel the need to check in on what is
going on at the office, even on days off. They feel pressured to work after hours just to catch up on
everything they have to do. Workers work harder and longer, change their work tasks more frequently,
and have more and more reasons to worry about job security.
Bosses, colleagues, family members, lovers, and friends expect instant responses to voice mail
and e-mail messages. Even college students have become bound to their desks by an environment in
which faculty, friends, and other members of the college community increasingly do their work
online. Studies of time spent on instant messaging services would probably show staggering use.
This is not what technology was supposed to be doing for us. New technologies, from genetic
research to the Internet, offer all sorts of benefits and opportunities. But, when new tools make life
more difficult and stressful rather than easier and more meaningful - and we are, as a society, barely
conscious of it - then something has gone seriously awry, both with our expectations for technology
and our understanding of how it should benefit us.
From Summit 1 by Joan Saslow & Allen Ascher

Life expectancy is the period of time that a person can expect to live. Life expectancy varies
greatly between genders and cultures. It used to be that women had a lower life expectancy than men
(1 in every 4 women died in childbirth), but now they live an average of four to five years longer than
men. Life expectancy has been increasing rapidly over the last centuries. With the advent of such
modern miracles as sewers, medicine and a greater understanding of how diseases are spread, our life
expectancy has increased by 25-30 years.
In developing countries like Swaziland, where there is a high HIV/ AIDS rate, life expectancy is
as low as 32.6 years. In developed countries like Australia, life expectancy rates are as high as 81
years. There are an increasing number of factors which can cancel out the disadvantages you have.
The one that we are looking at now is how your career can affect your life expectancy. Choosing the
wrong career can result in a shorter life!
If you want your career to positively influence your life expectancy, you have to be made of
money. Thats right. Rich people in wealthy areas of England and France live 10 years longer than
the people in poorer areas. Having a successful career has its drawbacks, too if the result of hard work
is stress.
Stress can lead to a number of psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, fatigue,
tension and aggression. These conditions may result in a lack of concentration and an increase in
serious injuries at work. They can also lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks which seriously
affect life expectancy.
If you are worried that your job might decrease your life expectancy, you probably need to avoid
careers on dangerous jobs list such as timber cutters, pilots, construction workers, roofer, truck
drivers.
So if you dont want to kick the bucket at an early age, choose a career in something other than
timber cutting, but above all, remember to relax.
From Pre-Essence Reading by Rachel Lee, Longman

The organization that today is known as the Bank of America did start out in America, but
under quite a different name. Italian American A.P. Giannini established this bank on October 17
1904, in a renovated saloon in San Franciscos Italian community of North Beach under the name
Bank of Italy, with immigrants and first time bank customers comprising the majority of his first
customers. During its development, Gianninis bank survived major crises in the form of a natural
disaster and a major economic upheaval that not all other banks were able to overcome.
One major test for Gianninis bank occurred on April 18,1906, when a massive earthquake
struck San Francisco, followed by a raging fire that destroyed much of the city. Giannini obtained
two wagons and teams of horses, filled the wagons with the banks reserves, mostly in the form of
gold, covered the reserves with crates of oranges, and escaped from the chaos of the city with his
clients funds protected. In the aftermath of the disaster, Gianninis bank was the first to resume
operations. Unable to install the bank in a proper office setting, Giannini opened up shop on the
Washington Street Wharf on a makeshift desk created from boards and barrels.
In the period following the 1906 fire, the Bank of Italy continued to prosper and expand. By
1918 there were twenty four branches of the Bank of Italy, and by 1928 Giannini had acquired
numerous other banks, including a Bank of America located in New York City. In 1930 he
consolidated all the branches of the Bank of Italy, the Bank of America in New York City, and
another bank of America that had formed in California into the Bank of America National Trust and
Savings Association.
A second major crisis for the bank occurred during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Although Giannini had already retired prior to the darkest days of Depression, he became incensed
when his successor began selling off banks during the bad economic times. Giannini resumed
leadership of the bank at the age of sixty-two. Under Gianninis leadership, the bank weathered the
storm of the Depression and subsequently moved into a phase of overseas development.
Question 45: According to the passage, Giannini Maria __________.
A. worked in a bank in Italy

C. opened the Bank of America in 1904
D. later changed the name of the Bank of Italy

Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual
not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that
the phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are
cool and connected.
The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals
worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems
from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile
phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no
proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who
use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern
scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious
memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own
son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working
week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's
doctor didn't agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech
machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies
agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less
often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when
you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In
the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for
now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
Question 55: According to the passage, cell phones are especially popular with young people
because __________
A. they are indispensable in everyday communications.
B. they make them look more stylish.
C. they keep the users alert all the time.
D. they cannot be replaced by regular phones.
Question 56: The word "means" in the passage most closely means __________
A. meanings
B. expression
C. transmission D. method
Question 57: Doctors have tentatively concluded that cell phones may __________
A. cause some mental malfunction
C. change their users temperament.
B. change their users social behaviours.
D. damage their users emotions.
Question 58: "Negative publicity" in the passage most likely means __________
A. poor ideas about the effects of cell phones.
B. widespread opinion about bad effects of cell phones.
C. information on the lethal effects of cell phones.

D. the negative public use of cell phones.
Question 59: The changes possibly caused by the cell phones are mainly concerned with ______
A. the smallest units of the brain.
C. the mobility of the mind and the body.
B. the resident memory.
D. the arteries of the brain.
Question 60: The man mentioned in the passage, who used his cell phone too often, __________
A. had a problem with memory.
B. abandoned his family.
C. suffered serious loss of mental ability.
D. could no longer think lucidly.
Question 61: The word "potentially" in the passage most closely means __________
A. certainly
B. obviously
C. privately
D. possibly
Question 62: According to the passage, what makes mobile phones potentially harmful is _____
A. their radiant light.
B. their raiding power.
C. their power of attraction.
D. their invisible rays.
Question 63: According to the writer, people should __________

A. only use mobile phones in urgent cases.
B. keep off mobile phones regularly.
C. never use mobile phones in all cases.
D. only use mobile phones in medical emergencies.
Question 64: The most suitable title for the passage could be __________
A. Mobile Phones: A Must of Our Time

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees homes and offices. For
employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the
computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed,
employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA
Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually,
the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published The Portable Executive as its
cover story a few years ago. Why hasnt telecommuting become more popular?
Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers.
These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be
too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the managers
responsibilities.
It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the opportunity.
Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same
consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space
in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer t
It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has
been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education
implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take
place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal
learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a
revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas
schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger
may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on.
Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school,
and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting
to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught
by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned,
whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the
boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in
their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting
with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
55. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The best school teach a wide variety of subjects

VII. Read the passage and the quetions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer A, B,
C, or D that you think fits best
All mammals feed their young. Beluga whale mothers, for example, nurse their calves for some
twenty months, until they are about to give birth again and their young are able to find their own food.
The behavior of feeding of the young is built into the reproductive system. It is a nonelective part of
Trang 3/7
parental care and the defining feature of a mammal, the most important thing that mammals-- whether
marsupials, platypuses, spiny anteaters, or placental mammals -- have in common.
But not all animal parents, even those that tend their offspring to the point of hatching or birth,
feed their young. Most egg-guarding fish do not, for the simple reason that their young are so much
smaller than the parents and eat food that is also much smaller than the food eaten by adults. In
reptiles, the crocodile mother protects her young after they have hatched and takes them down to the
water, where they will find food, but she does not actually feed them. Few insects feed their young
after hatching, but some make other arrangement, provisioning their cells and nests with caterpillars
and spiders that they have paralyzed with their venom and stored in a state of suspended animation so
that their larvae might have a supply of fresh food when they hatch.
For animals other than mammals, then, feeding is not intrinsic to parental care. Animals add it
to their reproductive strategies to give them an edge in their lifelong quest for descendants. The most
vulnerable moment in any animal's life is when it first finds itself completely on its own, when it must
forage and fend for itself. Feeding postpones that moment until a young animal has grown to such a
size that it is better able to cope. Young that are fed by their parents become nutritionally independent
at a much greater fraction of their full adult size. And in the meantime those young are shielded
against the vagaries of fluctuating of difficult-to-find supplies. Once a species does take the step of
feeding its young, the young become totally dependent on the extra effort. If both parents are
removed, the young generally do no survive.
A. The care that various animals give to their offspring.
B. The difficulties young animals face in obtaining food.
C. The methods that mammals use to nurse their young.
D. The importance among young mammals of becoming independent.

X. Read the passage and the quetions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer A, B, C,
A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker. The first is the
broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language,
communicating with a group or an individual, and specialized communication through performance. A
person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or
unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech
rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of
Trang 5/7
the utterance. When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate unsureness or fright,
confidence or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and
above the words chosen, or may belie them. Here the conversant's tone can consciously or
unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety,
enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernible by the acute listener. Public
performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for
obtaining effects by voice and /or (gesture. The motivation derived from the text, and in the case of
singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to create
empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication.
Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others,and
emotional health. Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy,
aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a
clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident
front. How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given
conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the
speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by
constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed.
A. The function of the voice in performance
B. The connection between voice and personality
C. Communication styles
D. The production of speech
72. What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas
and feelings over and above the words chosen" (lines 7-8)?
A. Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are.
B. The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words.
C. A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication.
D. Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas.

Early peoples had no need of engineering works to supply their water. Hunters and nomads camped
near natural sources of fresh water, and populations were so sparse that pollution of the water supply was not
a serious problem. After community life developed and agricultural villages became urban centres, the
problem of supplying water became important for inhabitants of a city, as well as for irrigation of the farms
surrounding the city. Irrigation works were known in prehistoric times, and before 2000 BC the rulers of
Babylonia and Egypt constructed systems of dams and canals to impound the flood waters of the Euphrates
and Nile rivers, controlling floods and providing irrigation water throughout the dry season. Such irrigation
canals also supplied water for domestic purposes. The first people to consider the sanitation of their water
supply were the ancient Romans, who constructed a vast system of aqueducts to bring the clean waters of the
Apennine Mountains into the city and built basins and filters along these mains to ensure the clarity of the
water. The construction of such extensive water-supply systems declined when the Roman Empire
disintegrated, and for several centuries local springs and wells formed the main source of domestic and
industrial water.
The invention of the force pump in England in the middle of the 16th century greatly extended the
possibilities of development of water-supply systems. In London, the first pumping waterworks was
completed in 1562; it pumped river water to a reservoir about 37 m above the level of the River Thames and
from the reservoir the water was distributed by gravity, through lead pipes, to buildings in the vicinity.
Increased per-capita demand has coincided with water shortages in many countries. South-east
England, for example, receives only 14 per cent of Britain's rainfall, has 30 per cent of its population, and has
experienced declining winter rainfall since the 1980s.
In recent years a great deal of interest has been shown in the conversion of seawater to fresh water
to provide drinking water for very dry areas, such as the Middle East. Several different processes, including
distillation, electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, and direct-freeze evaporation, have been developed for this
purpose. Some of these processes have been used in large facilities in the United States. Although these
processes are successful, the cost of treating seawater is much higher than that for treating fresh water.
From A. Briggs article on culture, Microsoft Student 2008

Sleep is a natural process, and although a lot have been written about the subject, it is still surrounded by
mystery. It is used by some as an escape from the world, and regarded by others as an irritating waste of
time: some people get by on very little, others claim they cannot exist without at least ten hours, but nobody
can do without sleep completely.
Our nights sleep does not just consist of a steady phase of gradually deepening sleep. It alternates
between two stages: Non-dreaming or ordinary sleep, and REM (rapid eye movement) or dreaming sleep. As
soon as we fall asleep, we go straight into non-dreaming sleep for an hour or so, then into REM sleep for
about 15 minutes, then back into non-dreaming sleep. It alternates in this way for the rest of the night, with
non-dreaming sleep tending to last longer at the beginning of the night. Non-dreaming sleep occupies
three-quarters of our nights sleep, about a quarter of it deep and the rest fairly light.
It is widely believed that sleep repairs the body and makes good the damage caused by being awake.
However, its main function is to refresh the brain. Experts believe that probably only about two-thirds of our
sleep is necessary for repairing and refreshing the brain, with the most valuable sleep coming in the first few
hours of the non-dreaming period, the last few hours of sleep are not so essential. The brain can manage quite
well with reduced sleep as long as it is uninterrupted sleep.
The quality of sleep is important. A study conducted in the USA looked at short sleepers, who slept for
5.5 hours on average, and long sleepers, who had 8.5 hours or more. It is discovered after a variety of tests
that the long sleepers were poor sleepers, had twice as much REM sleep as the short sleepers, appeared to
sleep longer to make up for poor sleep, and did not wake up in the morning refreshed. Similarly, people who
sleep deeply do not necessarily get a better quality of sleep than shallow sleepers. Deep sleepers can feel tired
the following day, so six hours of good sleep is worth more than eight hours of troubled sleep.
From Awakening to Sleep American Psychological Association
Question 55: It can be concluded from the first paragraph that ______.
A. people need equal time of sleep
B. sleep remains a puzzle
C. sleep is among the processes of the nature
D. everything about sleep has been brought to light
Question 56: The word irritating in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. calming
B. soothing
C. annoying
D. comforting
Question 57: All the following statements are true, EXCEPT for ______.
A. our nights sleep occurs in a straight line of only two phases
B. all sleeps are similar in the alternatives of the two stages during the night
C. we spend only 25 percent of our nights sleeping time dreaming
D. we often have no dreams right after we fall asleep

A. our nights sleep
B. the ordinary sleep
C. the REM
D. the night

I. Read the passage and the quetions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer A, B, C, or
D that you think fits best
By far the most important United States export product in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
was cotton, favored by the European textile industry over flax or wool because it was easy to process
and soft to tile touch. Mechanization of spinning and weaving allowed significant centralization and
expansion in the textile industry during this period, and at the same time the demand for cotton
increased dramatically. American producers were able to meet this demand largely because of tile
invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1793. Cotton could be grown throughout the South, but
separating the fiber or lint from the seed was a laborious process. Sea island cotton was relatively
easy to process by hand, because its fibers were long and seeds were concentrated at the base of the
flower, but it demanded a long growing season, available only along the nation's eastern seacoast.
Short-staple cotton required a much shorter growing season, but the shortness of the fibers and their
mixture with seeds meant that a worker could hand-process only about one pound per day. Whitney's
gin was a hand-powered machine with revolving drums and metal teeth to pull cotton fibers away from
seeds. Using the gin, a worker could produce up to 50 pounds of lint a day. The later development of
larger gins, powered by horses, water, or steam, multiplied productivity further.
The interaction of improved processing and high demand led to the rapid spread of the
cultivation of cotton and to a surge in production. It became the main American export, dwarfing all
others. In 1802, cotton composed 14 percent of total American exports by value. Cotton had a 36
percent share by 1810 and over a 50 percent share in 1830. In 1860, 61 percent of the value of
American exports was represented by cotton. In contrast, wheat and wheat flour composed only 6
percent of the value of American exports in that year. Clearly, cotton was king in the trade of the young
republic. The growing market for cotton and other American agricultural products led to an
unprecedented expansion of agricultural settlement, mostly in the eastern half of the United States--west of the Appalachian Mountains and east of the Mississippi River.

IX. Read the passage and the quetions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer A, B, C,
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, that provides
information concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best-known surveys are the
Gallup poll and the Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns
knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States.
North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews on local television
news shows. While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate
indication of public opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a
certain location. Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or
factory workers, depending on which area the newspeople select. Second, television interviews tend to
attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may
feel intimidated by a camera. A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to
genuinely reflect a broad range of the population.
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of
questions. An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it. It
must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results. Even questions
that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired.
Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the
questions are worded accurately.
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these forms of
survey research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find
it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written
questionnaire. In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject's
underlying feelings and reasons. However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and
more consistent.
A. The history of surveys in North America
B. The principles of conducting surveys
C. Problems associated with interpreting surveys
D. The importance of polls in American political life
62. The word "they" in line 7 refers to
A. North Americans B. news shows
C. interviews
D.opinions
63. According to the passage, the main disadvantage of person-on-the-street interviews is that they
M 672 - Trang 5/7

D. reflect political opinions

A. A high number of respondents
B. Carefully worded questions
C. An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings
D. A sociologist who is able to interpret the results

A. utilize
B. consider
C. design
D. defend
67. The word "elicit" in line 16 is closest in meaning to
A. compose
B. rule out
C. predict

68. It can be inferred from the passage that one reason that sociologists may become frustrated with

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw
its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite,
so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who
had made worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics,
chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards
ceremony.
Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the
awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated
diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges'
decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II. Some people have won two
prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.

An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in
such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air pollution requires a very
flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were established in
England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled - a
far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and
knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened.
In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.
Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides,
are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentration of these pollutants was altered by various
chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycles. These serve as an air purification
scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature's
output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities.
However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city. In such a region, human
output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The
result is an increased concentration of noxious chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse
effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human
activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact, the numerical
value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would
occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million
(ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm
and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.
Cu 55. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _________.
A water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areas
B the definition of air pollution will continue to change
C most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled
D a substance becomes an air pollutant only in cities

Although management principles have been implemented since ancient times, most management scholars
trace the beginning of modern management thought back to the early 1900s, beginning with the pioneering
work of Frederick Taylor (1856-1915) Taylor was the first person to study work scientifically. He is most
famous for introducing techniques of time and motion study, differential piece rate systems, and for
systematically specializing the work of operating employees and managers. Along with other pioneers such
as Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, Taylor set the stage, labeling his philosophy and methods scientific
management. At that time, his philosophy, which was concerned with productivity, but which was often
misinterpreted as promoting worker interests at the expense of management, was in marked contrast to the
prevailing industrial norms of worker exploitation.
The time and motion study concepts were popularized by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. The Gilbreths had
12 children. By analyzing his childrens dishwashing and bed making chores, this pioneer efficiency expert,
Frank Gilbreth, hit on principles whereby workers could eliminate waste motion. He was memorialized by
two of his children in their 1949 book called Cheaper by the Dozen.
The Gilbreth methods included using stop watches to time worker movements and special tools
(cameras and special clocks) to monitor and study worker performance, and also involved identification of
therbligs (Gilbreth spelled backwards) - basic motions used in production jobs. Many of these motions
and accompanying times have been used to determine how long it should take a skilled worker to perform a
given job. In this way an industrial engineer can get a handle on the approximate time it should take to
produce a product or provide a service. However, use of work analysis in this way is unlikely to lead to
useful results unless all five work dimensions are considered: physical, psychological, social, cultural, and
power.
Question 20.What is the passage primarily about?
A. The limitations of pioneering studies in understanding human behavior
B. How time and motion studies were first developed
C. The first applications of a scientific approach to understanding human behavior
D. The beginnings of modern management theory
Question 21.The word which in the passage refers to
A. scientific management
B. philosophy
C. productivity
D. time and motion study
Question 22.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that
A. workers welcomed the application of scientific management
B. Talors philosophy is different from the industrial norms
C. by the early 1900s science had reached a stage where it could be applied to the workplace
D. workers were no longer exploited after the introduction of scientific management.
Question 23.The word prevailing is closest in meaning to
A. predominant
B. broadly accepted C. prevalent
D. common
Question 24.According to the passage, Frank Gilbreth discovered how workers could eliminate waste
motion by
A. using special tools such as cameras and clocks
B. using stop watches
C. applying scientific management principles
D. watching his children do their chores
Question 25.According to the passage, the time it takes a skilled worker to perform the motion of a given
job can be measured by using
A. stop watches
B. all five work dimensions
C. special tools
D. therbligs
Question 26.The word motions is closest in meaning to

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
In most of the earliest books for children, illustrations were an afterthought. But in the Caldecott
toy books, which first appeared in 1878, they were almost as important as the lines of text, and
occupied far more space in the book. One can almost read the story from the dramatic action in the
pictures.
Since then, thousands of successful picture books have been published in the United States and around
the world. In the best, the words and illustrations seem to complement each other perfectly. Often a
single person is responsible for both writing and illustrating the book. One of the greatest, and certainly one
of the most successful, illustrator-authors was Dr. Seuss, whose real name was Theodor Geisel. His first
childrens book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and the world of
childrens literature was changed forever. Seusss playful drawings were a perfect complement to his
engaging stories and unforgettable characters. In 1957, Seusss The Cat in the Hat became the first book in
Random Houses best -selling series, Beginner Books, written by Seuss and several other authors. These
combine outrageous illustrations of people, creatures, and plants, and playful stories written in very simple
language.
Dr. Seuss is not the only well-known author-illustrator, of course. There is Max Sendak, who wrote and
illustrated Where the Wild Things Are, the story of a little boy named Max, who becomes king of the fierce (
but funny) creatures that live in the Land of the Wilds Things. Robert McCloskey produced both the richly
textured illustrations and delightful story of a family of ducks living in downtown Boston, Make
Ways for Ducklings. Some books are produced by a collaborative author artist team. Author Margaret Wise
Brown combined with illustrator Clement Hurd to produce two delightful books loved by very young
children, Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny. Another example is the husband-and-wife team of
writer Audrey Wood and illustrator Don Wood, who were responsible for King Bidgoods in the Bathtub
and The Napping House.
Wordless and nearly wordless picture books have become popular. With a little help, threeand four-yearolds can follow the sequence of events, and they can understand the stories suggested in them. The marvel of
books with few or no words is that they allow children and their parents the opportunity to tell and retell
the same stories over and over in their own words. One of the most charming examples of a
wordless book is Jan OmerodsSunshine. Barbara Bergers Grandfather Twilight and David Weisners
Tuesday are examples of books containing only a few words.
U.S. publishers have also drawn on illustrators from other countries whose original, imaginative
works have brought their different visions to American childrens books. Among them are Leo Lionni from
Italy, Feodor Rojankovsky from Russia, and Taro Yashimi from Japan.

I. Read the text below and decide which answer (A, B, C, or D) best fits each place
The Prime Minister's comments yesterday on education spending miss the point, as the secondary
education system also needs a major overhaul. Firstly, the system only views the weakest learners as
having special _____ (1). The highest and most _____ (2) students are not encouraged to develop to their
full potential. Secondly, there's too much testing and not enough learning. My fifteen-year-old daughter,
for example, has just spent the last month or so _____ (3) for exams. These aren't real, important exams, as
her GCSEs will be next year. They're just _____ (4) exams. Is the work she's been doing really going to
make her more _____ (5) about her subjects, or will she forget it all tomorrow? I expect the latter. Thirdly,
the standard _____ (6) doesn't give students any _____ (7) in developing practical work-related, living and
social skills, or in skills necessary for higher education. How many students entering university have the
first idea what the difference is between _____ (8) someone else's work and making good use of someone
else's ideas? Should they have been taught this at school? How many of them are really able to go about
___ (9)- a skill that is essential at university because there are no teachers to tell you what to do- in an
efficient way? In deed how many students _____ (10) from university totally unable to spell even simple
English words correctly? The system is letting our children down.

VII. Read the text below and decide which answer ( A, B,C or D) best fits
Mountaineers have noted that as they climb, for example, up to the 12,633-foot Humphreys
Peak in the San Francisco Peaks in Arizona, plant life changes radically. Starting among the cacti
Line of the Sonoran Desert, one climbs into a pine forest at 7,000 feet and a treeless alpine tundra at the
(5) summit. It may seem that plants at a given altitude are associated in what can be called
communities groupings of interacting species. The idea is that over time, plants that require
particular climate and soil conditions come to live in the same places, and hence are frequently to
be found together. Scientists who study the history of plant life are known as paleobotanists, or
paleobots for short. They build up a picture of how groups of plants have responded to climate
(10) changes and how ecosystems develop. But are these associations, which are real in the present,
permanent?
A great natural experiment took place on this planet between 25,000 and 10,000 years ago,
when small changes in the earths orbit and axis of rotation caused great sheets of ice to spread
from the poles. These glaciers covered much of North America and Europe to depths of up to two
(15) miles, and then, as the climate warmed, they retreated. During this retreat, they left behind newly
Trang 3/7
uncovered land for living things to colonize, and as those living things moved in they laid down a
record we can read now. As the ice retreated and plants started to grow near a lake, they would
release pollen. Some would fall into the lake, sink to the bottom, and be incorporated into the
sediment. By drilling into the lake bottom it is possible to read the record of successive plant life
(20) around the lake. The fossil record seems clear; there is little or no evidence that entire groups of
plants moved north together. Things that lived together in the past dont live together now, and
things that live together now didnt live together in the past. Each individual organism moved at its
own pace. The fossil record seems to be telling us that we should be thinking about preserving
(25) species by giving them room to maneuver to respond to environmental changes.

IX. Read the passage and the quetions or unfinished sentences. Then choose the answer A, B, C, or
Charles Lindbergh was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1902 but was raised on a farm in Minnesota,
where his father was elected to the U.S. Congress in 1907. From then on, he spent his boyhood alternately
in Washington, D.C, and Little Falls, Minnesota.
Because Lindbergh exhibited exceptional mechanical talent, in 1921 he was admitted to the
university of Wisconsin to study engineering. However the young man was seeking more challenging
endeavors, and two years later he became a stunt pilot who performed feats at county fairs and public
assemblies. This unusual and undertaking paid off handsomely in the sense that it allowed him to gain a
diverse and well- rounded experience in aeronautics. He particularly delighted in what he called "wingwalking" and parachute jumping.
After a year of trainging as a millitary cadet, Lindbergh completed his program at the Brooks and
Kelly airfields at the top of his class and earned the rank of captain. Roberton Aircraft Corporation of St.
Louis, Missouri, offered him employment as a mail pilot to run the routes between St. Louis and Chicago,
and Lindbergh retained his position with the company until 1927. During this period, he set out to win the
Raymond B. Orteig prize of $ 25,000 to be awarded to the first pilot to fly nonstop from New York to
Paris. This ambition would irreversibly change his life and accord him a prominent place in the history of
aviation.
Embarking on the greatest adventure of his time, Lindbergh left Roosevelt Field at 7:52 A.M on
May, 20, 1927, and landed at Bourget Field at 5:24 P.M the next day. Fearing that he would be unknown
when he arrived, Lindbergh carried letters of introduction to dignitaries in Paris, but when his plane came
to a stop, he was overwhelmed by tremendous welcoming crowds. He was decorated in France, Great
Britain, and Belgium, and President Coolidge sent a specially designated cruiser, the Memphis, to bring
him back. His accomplishments in aeronautics brought him more medals and awards than had ever been
received by any other person in private life.

The point at which physical decline with age begins adversely to affect a driver's capability has not
yet been thoroughly studied. A survey of more than 3,000 road accidents in Michigan involving drivers
aged over 55 showed that in eight out of ten _____ (1) it was a driver over the age of 71 who had _____ (2)
a collision by failing to yield, turning carelessly or changing lanes.
Older drivers are obviously more succeptible to injury in vehicle crashes, as well as being a potential

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contribution
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 writitng about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were 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 womens organizations
compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved
and stored. These sources form the core of the two greatest collections of womens history in the United
States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radeliffe 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 womens right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of
the great mass of ordinary women. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the
American histories being published.

In 1972, a century after the first national park in the United States was established at
Yellowstone, legislation was passed to create the National Marine Sanctuaries Program.
The intent of this legislation was to provide protection to selected coastal habitats similar
to that existing for land areas designated as national parks. The designation of an areas

are permitted to visit and observe there, but living organisms and their environments may

25.
The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is administered by the National Oceanic

and Atmospheric Administration, a branch of the United States Department of Commerce.
Initially, 70 sites were proposed as candidates for sanctuary status. Two and a half decades
later, only fifteen sanctuaries had been designated, with half of these established after
1978. They range in size from the very small (less than I square kilometer) Fagatele Bay
National Marine Sanctuary in American Samoa to the Monterey Bay National Marine
Sanctuary in California, extending over 15,744 square kilometers.
The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is a crucial part of new management
practices in which whole communities of species, and not just individual species, are
offered some degree of protection from habitat degradation and overexploitation. Only
in this way can a reasonable degree of marine species diversity be maintained in a setting
that also maintains the natural interrelationships that exist among these species.
Several other types of marine protected areas exist in the United States and other
countries. The National Estuarine Research Reserve System, managed by the United
States government, includes 23 designated and protected estuaries. Outside the United
States, marine protected-area programs exist as marine parks, reserves, and preserves.
Over 100 designated areas exist around the periphery of the Carbbean Sea. Others range
from the well-known Australian Great Barrer Reef Marine Park to lesser-known parks
in countries such as Thailand and Indonesia, where tourism is placing growing pressures
Trang 4/10
on fragile coral reef systems. As state, national, and international agencies come to
recognize the importance of conserving marine biodiversity, marine projected areas.
whether as sanctuaries, parks, or estuarine reserves, will play an increasingly important role in

later, only fifteen sanctuaries had been designated, with half of these established after
1978. They range in size from the very small (less than I square kilometer) Fagatele Bay
National Marine Sanctuary in American Samoa to the Monterey Bay National Marine
Sanctuary in California, extending over 15,744 square kilometers.
The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is a crucial part of new management
practices in which whole communities of species, and not just individual species, are
offered some degree of protection from habitat degradation and overexploitation. Only
in this way can a reasonable degree of marine species diversity be maintained in a setting
that also maintains the natural interrelationships that exist among these species.
Several other types of marine protected areas exist in the United States and other
countries. The National Estuarine Research Reserve System, managed by the United
States government, includes 23 designated and protected estuaries. Outside the United
States, marine protected-area programs exist as marine parks, reserves, and preserves.
Over 100 designated areas exist around the periphery of the Carbbean Sea. Others range
from the well-known Australian Great Barrer Reef Marine Park to lesser-known parks
in countries such as Thailand and Indonesia, where tourism is placing growing pressures
on fragile coral reef systems. As state, national, and international agencies come to
recognize the importance of conserving marine biodiversity, marine projected areas.

VI. Read the passages and answer the questions.
Self-employed private physicians who charge a fee for each patient visit are the foundation of
medical practice in the United States. Most physicians have a contract relationship with one or more
hospitals in the community: They send their patients to this hospital, which usually charges patients
according to the number of days they stay and the facilities (operating room, tests, medicines that they use).
Some hospitals belong to a city, a state or, in the case of veteran's hospitals, a federal government agency.
Others are operated by churches or other non-profit groups.
Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried physicians may work as hospital staff members, or
residents who are often still in training. They may teach in medical schools, be hired by corporations to care
for their workers or work for the federal government's Public Health Service. Physicians are among the best
paid professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn
incomes of more than $10,000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons might earn several times that
amount. Physicians list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is
the long and expensive preparation required to become a physician in the United States. Most people who
Trang 4/7
would be physicians first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $20,000 a year at one of the
best private institutions. Prospective physicians then attend medical school for another four years.
Tuition alone can be over $10,000 a year. By the time they have obtained their medical degrees.
many young physicians are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of training in a hospital, the
first year as an apprentice physician. The hours are long and the pay is relatively low.
Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several physicians will decide to establish
a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These
physicians also take care of each other's patients in emergencies.
Physicians work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical
procedures, even quite routine ones, involve risk. It is understandable that physicians want to be well
rewarded for making decisions which can mean the difference between life and death.
66. In America, its very popular that
A. Self-employed private physicians over-charge a fee for each patients visit.
B. Self-employed private physicians do not charge a fee for each patients visit
C. Self-employed private physicians sign a contract with one or more hospitals.
D. Self-employed private physicians have a contract with only one hospital.
67. The reason why physicians deserve a high salary is that
A. they have to spend alot on their education and training
B. they work long hours
C. they are in deeply debt
D. they cant afford the expenses on their education and training
68. According to the passage, how long does it take for a would-be physician to become an independent
physician in the USA?
A. About seven years.
B. Eight years.
C. Ten years.
D. About twelve years.
69. Sometimes several physicians set up a group medical practice mainly because
A. there are so many patients that it is difficult for one physician to take care of all of them
B. they can take turns to work long hours
C. facilities may be too much of a burden for one physician to shoulder
D. no one wants to assume too much responsibility
70. Which of the following statements could fully express the author's view towards physicians' payment in
the USA?
A. For their expensive education and their responsibility, they deserve a handsome pay.
B. It is reasonable for physicians to have a large income because their work is very dangerous.
C. Physicians should be better paid because they work long hours under bad conditions
D. Physicians have great responsibility, so it is understandable that they should be well rewarded.
VII. Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions following it.
Americans are a very energetic and mobile people, always on the run, rushing from one appointment
to another, from a PTA meeting to a social planning committee. They have very little time to spend
preparing elaborate everyday meals to be eaten at leisure. In many homes it is rare for the whole family to
sit down at supper together. Clubs and commitments force them to grab a quick meal rather than a sit-down
supper. When they do have the chance to eat at home often the working housewife prefers to prepare meals
which can be quickly heated and consumed. It is no wonder, therefore, that America has become a
sanctuary for fast food consumption.
This great transformation occurred after World War II when many women began to work full-time
jobs and were spending less time at home with their families. Women, however, wanted to function well in
the capacity of homemaker, as well as that of career woman but time became a precious commodity which
had to be carefully used.
Therefore, it was necessary to make her life easier at home in the preparation of the family dinner.
Simultaneously with women entering the job market there was also a shifting of the focus of home
entertainment from the radio to the television. Television became the latest fad in the fifties and no one
wanted to miss his or her favorite televised program. The place for the evening's supper shifted from the
dining room to the living room.
Trang 5/7
As the customs changed, so did the culture. The immediate solution for this was the invention of the
TV dinner. These were frozen meals which were sectioned off into portions of meat and vegetables. They
could easily be popped into an oven and prepared within minutes. The tin trays in which they were served
were conveniently carried into the living room and dinner was consumed in front of a TV set. Cleaning up
afterwards was no problem. The tin trays were easily tossed into the garbage.
From fast dinners at home the next step was quick eating while on the road. At this time also the
love for TV was combined with the fascination for the automobile. It is not odd that with the development
of the superhighways America saw the beginning of fast food chains. McDonald's paved the way with its
variety of burgers and shakes soon to be followed by all kinds of other foods. Today dozens of fast-food
chain franchises can be found along highways, in modern shopping malls and
scattered throughout neighborhoods in America. Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Roy Roger's, Burger King and
Wendy's are just a few of the fast-food chains which are now part of American culture. They offer chicken,
donuts, tacos and pizza, all quickly produced in great quantities for the masses. These establishments have
given shape to the modern lifestyles and diet of the American people.
71. How can one best describe the American people?
A. Fat and obese
B. Energetic and mobile
C. Lazy and indolent
D. Aggressive and argumentative
72. What is the nearest meaning to the word sanctuary in line 6?
A. big producer
B.home
C. small buyer
D. big consumer
73. When did many women begin to do full-time jobs in America and spend less time at home?
A. From 1990 to 1999.
B. Before World War II
C. In the 1980's.
D. After World War II.
74. The word function in line 8 probably means:
A. digest
B. learn to do
C. practice
D. see
75. When women entered the job market what shift took place at home with regards to entertainment?
A. Families began to eat TV dinners.
B. TV became the center of family entertainment.
C. Families began eating in the living room D. No one listened to the radio anymore
76. When TV became popular in America how did it change Americans' dining habits?
A. The family stopped eating dinner together.
B. The family no longer talked at the dinner table.
C. The family at from paper plates.
D. Some families began to eat in the living room while watching TV
77. What are TV dinners?
A. Frozen meals which can easily be heated and eaten while watching TV.
B. Meals which are placed in trays which look like TVs

D. Meals which are advertises on TV.

A. They were saved and reused for regular meals
B. They were traded in for redeemable coupons.
C. They were simply thrown away.
D. They were used as planters for seedlings.
79. What encouraged the growth of fast food chains across America?
A. America's growing appetite for food.
B. The growth of the automobile and the expansion of the highways.
C. The cheap prices of fast foods.
D. The convenience of the automovile and cheap gas.

Harvard University, today recognized as part of the top echelon of the worlds universities,
came from very inauspicious and humble beginnings. This oldest of America universities was founded
in 1636 , just sixteen years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. Included in the Puritan emigrants to
the Massachusetts colony during this period were more than 100 graduates of Englands prestigious
Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these university graduates in the New World were determined
that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that they themselves had had. Because of
this support in the colony for an institution of higher learning, the General Court of Massachusetts
appropriated 400 pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early the following year decided on a
parcel of land for the school; this land was in an area called Newetowne, which was later renamed
Cambridge after its English cousin and is the site of the present-day university.
When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of
Charlestowne, died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700 pounds to the
fledgling college. In spite of the fact that only half of the bequest was actually paid, the General Court
named the college after the minister in appreciation for what he had done.The amount of the bequest
may not have been large, particularly by todays standards, but it was more than the General Court had
found it necessary to appropriate in order to open the college.
Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it should be noted that
in addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty, with an entering freshman class of
four students. Although the staff did expand somewhat, for the first century of its existence the entire
teaching staff consisted of the president and three or four tutors.

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become
extinct or have neared extinction has increased. Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed the
jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the year 2025, it is estimated that they will
become extinct. What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have
been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in
material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to
the problem of extinction. Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are
valuable parts of the world's ecosystem. International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to
ensure their survival - and the survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways. Some countries,
in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animal reserves. They
then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must
also depend on world organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and
patrols to protect the animals. Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international
boycott of products made from endangered species. This has had some effect, but by itself it will not
prevent animals from being hunted and killed.

Jazz has been called the art of expression set to music, and
Americas great contribution to music. It has functioned as popular art and
enjoyed periods of fairly widespread public response, in the jazz age of the
Line
1920s, in the swing era of the late 1930s and in the peak popularity of
(5)
modern jazz in the late 1950s. The standard legend about Jazz is that it
originated around the end of the 19th century in New Orleans and moved up
the Mississippi River to Memphis, St. Louis, and finally to Chicago. It
welded together the elements of Ragtime, marching band music, and the
Blues. However, the influences of what led to those early sounds goes back
(10)
to tribal African drum beats and European musical structures. Buddy Bolden,
a New Orleans barber and cornet player, is generally considered to have been
the first real Jazz musician, around 1891.
What made Jazz significantly different from the other earlier forms of
music was the use of improvisation. Jazz displayed a break from traditional
(15)
music where composers wrote an entire piece of music on paper, leaving the
musicians to break their backs playing exactly what was written on the
score. In a Jazz piece, however, the song is simply a starting point, or sort of
skeletal guide for the Jazz musicians to improvise around. Actually, many of
the early Jazz musicians were bad sight readers and some couldnt even read
(20)
music at all. Generally speaking, these early musicians couldnt make very
much money and were stuck working menial jobs to make a living. The
second wave of New Orleans Jazz musicians included such memorable
players as Joe Oliver, Kid Ory, and Jelly Roll Morton. These men formed
small bands and took the music of earlier musicians, improved its
complexity, and gained greater success. This music is known as hot Jazz
(25)
due to the enormously fast speeds and rhythmic drive.

A young cornet player by the name of Louis Armstrong was
discovered by Joe Oliver in New Orleans. He soon grew up to become one of
the greatest and most successful musicians of all time, and later one of the
biggest stars in the world. The impact of Armstrong and other talented early
Jazz musicians changed the way we look at music.

correct answer to each of the questions that follow
Legend has it that sometime toward the end of the Civil War (1861-1865) a government
train carrying oxen traveling through the northern plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in a
snowstorm and had to be abandoned. The driver returned the next spring to see what had become of
his cargo. Instead of the skeletons he had expected to find, he saw his oxen, living, fat, and healthy.
How had they survived?
The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their
haste to cross the Great American Desert to reach lands that sometimes proved barren. In the
eastern parts of the United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant. It grew well
with enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter
feed. But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by
drought. To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless. Who could imagine a fairy-tale
grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter?
But the surprising western wild grasses did just that. They had wonderfully convenient
features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses. Variously known as buffalo grass,
grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were actually
preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains. They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern
grasses, but had short, hard stems. And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where
they grew on the ground.
When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and
nourishing through the winter. Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay. And
the cattle themselves helped plant the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds
firmly into the soil to be watered by the melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring.
The dry summer air cured them much as storing in a barn cured the cultivated grasses.
