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 30 to 34.

TRAVELING TO WORK

If you were going to choose a job that involves travel, what would be your first choice? There are many jobs available today that give people opportunities to travel. Although may traveling careers sound fantastic, they also have disadvantages.

Being an au pair is an excellent way to not only go to different countries, but to live in different places around the world and really get a feel for the culture. Au pairs lives with the families they are placed with and take of children. Many parents include au pairs in family events and vacations, so they experience many aspects of the new culture while on the job. However, many of the activities are centered around the children, so they may not get to experience many things that interest adults.

For people who want a bit more freedom working abroad, being an English teacher maybe a good choice. There are English teaching jobs in almost countries in the world. People teaching English in other countries often have a chance to travel on the weekends around the country. One drawback is that many teachers often wind up hanging out with other English teachers, and they don’t have time to learn the country’s language.

The nickname “roadie” implies that this job involves life on the road. Roadies are people who work and travel with bands and provide technical support. Roadies can be lighting and stage crew who set up the stage and break it down before and after events. They can also be technicians helping band members with their instruments. International tours take a band’s crew to cities around the world, often requiring air travel. However, the crew doesn’t get much time off, so they may travel to several countries without seeing much besides concert venues and hotels.

Similarly, flight attendants often travel to cities around the world, but they don’t see much besides the inside of airplanes and hotels. However, when they do have time off, they can often fly at no cost, and family member can sometimes fly free as well. Its is widely thought that a flight attendant job is glamorous, but flight attendants must deal with travel hassles, as well as security issues.

All jobs gave advantages and disadvantages whether or not you travel for work, so if you have the travel bug, keep these jobs in mind for the future.

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 42.

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time. If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn all the other things they learn to do without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.

If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we, teachers, waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exams, and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.

38. The word those in paragraph 1 refers to...................

32: Đáp án C

Từ “they” ở đoạn 2 ám chỉ tới .

A. mọi người.

B. những cơ hội.

C. nghề ngiệp, công việc.

D. những bất lợi.

Đọc cả lên câu phía trước: “There are many jobs available today that give people opportunities to travel. Although may traveling careers sound fantastic, they also have disadvantages”- (Ngày nay, có rất nhiều công việc trao cho người ta cơ hội được đi du lịch. Mặc dù những công việc liên quan tới du lịch đó nghe có vẻ rất tuyệt, nhưng chúng cũng đồng thời có những bất lợi).

B. Giáo viên Tiếng Anh nước ngoài không biết ngôn ngữ của nước mà họ làm việc.

C. Công việc mà bạn chọn cần phải có nhiều thuận lợi hơn bất lợi.

D. Những người muốn đi du lịch có thể có được 1 công việc.

Dẫn chứng ở câu cuối- đoạn 3: “One drawback is that many teachers often wind up hanging out with other English teachers, and they don’t have time to learn the country’s language” – (Một bất lợi đó là nhiều giáo viên thường xuyên chỉ đi giao thiệp với những giáo viên Tiếng Anh khác, và họ không có thời gian để học ngôn ngữ của đất nước đó).

Dịch bài

Nếu bạn định chọn một công việc liên quan đến du lịch, điều gì sẽ là lựa chọn đầu tiên của bạn? Ngày nay, có rất nhiều công việc cung cấp cho mọi người cơ hội để được đi du lịch. Mặc dù có thể những công việc liên quan đến du lịch nghe rất tuyệt vời, nhưng chúng cũng có những bất lợi.

Trở thành một “au pair” (tiếng Pháp, có nghĩa là một người trẻ nước ngoài, thường là phụ nữ, giúp việc nhà hoặc chăm sóc trẻ để đổi lại được ăn và ở miễn phí) là một cách tuyệt vời để không chỉ đi đến các quốc gia khác nhau, mà còn để sống ở những nơi khác nhau trên khắp thế giới và cảm nhận về văn hoá. Au pair sống chung với các gia đình và chăm sóc con cái của họ. Nhiều bậc cha mẹ cho au pair tham gia các sự kiện gia đình và kỳ nghỉ, do đó, họ được trải nghiệm nhiều khía cạnh của nền văn hóa mới trong khi làm việc. Tuy nhiên, nhiều hoạt động chỉ tập trung xung quanh trẻ em, do đó họ có thể không trải nhiệm được nhiều thứ gây hứng thú cho người lớn.

Đối với những người muốn tự do hơn một chút khi làm việc ở nước ngoài, trở thành một giáo viên tiếng Anh có thể là một lựa chọn tốt. Có nhiều công việc dạy tiếng Anh ở hầu hết các quốc gia trên thế giới. Những người dạy tiếng Anh ở các nước khác thường có cơ hội đi du lịch vào những ngày cuối tuần trên khắp đất nước. Một trở ngại đó là nhiều giáo viên thường chỉ giao thiệp với các giáo viên tiếng Anh khác, và họ không có thời gian để học ngôn ngữ của đất nước đó

Biệt hiệu "roadie" hàm ý rằng công việc này liên quan đến cuộc sống trên đường. Roadies là những người làm việc và đi cùng với ban nhạc và cung cấp hỗ trợ về mặt kỹ thuật. Roadies có thể là làm trong đội ngũ ánh sáng và ban hậu cần- những người dựng sân khấu và chịu trách nhiệm về nó trước và sau các sự kiện. Họ cũng có thể là kỹ thuật viên giúp đỡ các thành viên của ban nhạc với công cụ của họ. Các tour du lịch quốc tế đưa đoàn của ban nhạc đến các thành phố trên khắp thế giới, thường phải đi bằng máy bay. Tuy nhiên, đoàn không có nhiều thời gian, vì vậy họ có thể đi du lịch đến một số quốc gia mà không thăm thú được nhiều ngoài các địa điểm tổ chức hoà nhạc và khách sạn.

Tương tự như vậy, các tiếp viên hàng không thường đi du lịch đến các thành phố trên khắp thế giới, nhưng họ không chiêm ngắm được gì nhiều ngoài quang cảnh bên trong máy bay và khách sạn. Tuy nhiên, khi họ có thời gian nghỉ, họ thường có thể bay miễn phí, và thành viên gia đình đôi khi không cần phải trả phí máy bay. Người ta cho rằng công việc tiếp viên hàng không rất hấp dẫn, nhưng các nhân viên tiếp đó phải giải quyết các rắc rối về chuyến bay, cũng như các vấn đề về an ninh. Tất cả các công việc đều có những thuận lợi và bất lợi cho dù bạn có đi lại hay không, vì vậy nếu bạn có đam mê về du lịch, hãy nhớ những công việc này trong tương lai

Đáp án: D

Dịch bài đọc:

Hãy để trẻ em học cách đánh giá công việc của mình. Một đứa trẻ học cách nói chuyện về việc không học bằng việc dành thời gian sửa chữa. Nếu sửa chữa quá nhiều, chúng sẽ ngừng nói. Chúng nhận thấy một nghìn lần sự khác biệt giữa ngôn ngữ chúng sử dụng ngôn ngữ xung quanh. Từng chút một, chúng thực hiện những thay đổi cần thiết để làm cho ngôn ngữ của chúng giống ngôn ngữ của người khác. Trong cùng một cách, trẻ học được tất cả những thứ khác chúng học để làm không được dạy – như nói, chạy, leo trèo, huýt sáo, đi xe đạp – so sánh sự thực hiện của chúng với những người có kỹ năng hơn, từ từ khiến chúng có những thay đổi cần thiết. Nhưng ở trường, chúng ta không bao giờ cho trẻ một cơ hội để tìm ra những sai lầm của chính bản thân chúng, hãy để bản thân chúng tự sửa đổi. Chúng ta làm tất cả cho chúng. Chúng ta hành động như thể chúng ta nghĩ rằng chúng sẽ không bao giờ nhận ra một sai lầm trừ khi có người chỉ cho chúng, hoặc sửa nếu chúng không tự làm được. Chẳng mấy chốc, chúng trở nên lệ thuộc vào giáo viên. Hãy để chúng tự mình làm. Hãy để chúng làm việc, với sự giúp đỡ của những đứa trẻ khác nếu chúng muốn, những từ ngữ nói, hoặc những câu trả lời cho vấn đề, cho dù đây có phải cách hay để nói hay làm điều này hay không.

Nếu nó là một vấn đề của câu trả lời đúng, vì nó có thể trong toán học hoặc khoa học, đưa cho chúng cuốn sách trả lời. Hãy để chúng tự sửa bài của mình. Tại sao chúng ta, giáo viên, lãng phí thời gian vào công việc thường ngày như vậy? Công việc của chúng ta nên giúp đỡ bọn trẻ khi chúng nói với chúng ta rằng chúng không thể tìm ra cách để có câu trả lời đúng. Hãy kết thúc tất cả những điều vô nghĩa này : lên lớp, kì thi và điểm số.

Hãy để chúng ta đưa chúng ra ngoài, và hãy để những đứa trẻ học từ tất cả mọi người trong nhiều ngày học, học cách làm thế nào để đo lường hiểu biết của chính họ, làm thế nào để biết những gì họ biết hoặc không biết.

Hãy để chúng tiếp tục công việc này theo cách có vẻ hợp lý nhất với chúng, với sự giúp đỡ của chúng ta với tư cách là giáo viên ở trường nếu chúng yêu cầu. Nghĩ về việc có một người hiểu biết được học ở trường và dành phần còn lại của cuộc đời là vô nghĩa trong một thế giới phức tạp và thay đổi nhanh chúng như chúng ta. Cha mẹ và giáo viên lo lắng nói :"Nhưng giả sử họ không học đươc điều gì đó cần thiết, điều gì khiến họ cần phải tiếp tục trên thế giới?" Đừng lo lắng! Nếu nó cần thiết, chúng sẽ đi ra thế giới và học nó.

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 36 to 42.

Fiberscopes are one of the most important outcomes of the science of fiber optics. Fibers made of glass and transparent acrylic plastic are capable of conveying light energy, and when thousands of these fibers are combined in what is called a fiberscope, they can transmit images. The most common fiberscopes contain about 750,000 fibers, each 0.001 centimeter, or 10 microns, in diameter. For certain uses, the diameter of the fiber may be as small as 5 microns.

Fiberscopes have a wide range of applications. In the medical field, physicians use fiberscopes to examine internal organs and as an aid in delicate surgeries. Miniature probes have also been developed to view muscle fiber, skin tissue, and blood cells. Fiberscopes have also found varied uses in industry, particularly to inspect or control operations in inaccessible areas. Bundles of fiberscopes fused together in a solid plate, called a faceplate, are being used in the manufacture of television tubes and other cathode-ray tube devices.

The most far-reaching applications of fiber-optic technology are in communications. Optical fibers carry voice messages for telephone service. The sound of the voice is electronically broken down into thousands of pulses per second, which causes a transmitting laser to send coordinated pulses of light through the optical fibers. At the receiving end, the light pulses are converted to electrical signals and the voice message is reconstructed. Light-wave communication systems can handle an immensely greater number of telephone calls and television programs than the current system, and they will form the basis of the “electronic superhighway” expected to crisscross the nation in the near future of the information age.

Question 36: How do optical fibers carry voice message?

A. By sending coordinated electrical pulses through optical fibers

B. By using cathode-ray tube devices.

C. By converting electrical signals to light pulses

D. By fusing bundles of fiberscopes into a faceplate

Question 37: The word inaccessible in line 9 means _____.

A. extremely small B. impossible to climb C. hard to reach D. difficult to find

Question 38: It can be inferred from the passage that fiberscopes_____.

A. have more uses in industry than in medicine

B. will play a major role in the information age

C. will decrease in importance as they become more common

D. have reached the peak of their development

Question 39: Approximately how many fibers does a fiberscope contain?

A. 500,000 B. 1,000,000 C. 25,000 D. 750,000

Question 40: The main topic of the passage is ____.

A. The birth of the “electronic superhighway”

B. How fiberscopes have enhanced the field of medicine

C. How sound may be transformed into light

D. The various applications of fiber-optic technology

Question 41: The word converted is closest in meaning to_____.

A. transformed B. transmitted C. transferred D. changed

Question 42: The passage will most likely be followed by a discussion of_____.

A. the structure of fiberscopes

B. the use of fiber optics in the electronic superhighway

C. homes and businesses of the future

D. additional uses of fiberscope in industry


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 43 to 50.

A recent survey of crime statistics shows that we are all more likely to be burgled now than 20 years ago and the police advise everyone to take a few simple precautions to protect their homes.

The first fact is that burglars and other intruders prefer easy opportunities, like a house which is very obviously empty. This is much less of a challenge than an occupied house, and one which is well-protected. A burglar will wonder if it is worth the bother.

There are some general tips on how to avoid your home becoming another crime statistic. Avoid leaving signs that your house is empty. When you have to go out, leave at least one light on as well as a radio or television, and do not leave any curtains wide open. The sight of your latest music centre or computer is enough to tempt any burglar.

Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place. The first place a burglar will look is under the doormat or in a flower pot and even somewhere more 'imaginative' could soon be uncovered by the intruder. It is much safer to leave a key with a neighbour you can trust. But if your house is in a quiet, desolate area be aware that this will be a burglar's dream, so deter any potential criminal from approaching your house by fitting security lights to the outside of your house.

But what could happen if, in spite of the aforementioned precautions, a burglar or intruder has decided to target your home. Windows are usually the first point of entry for many intruders. Downstairs windows provide easy access while upstairs windows can be reached with a ladder or by climbing up the drainpipe. Before going to bed you should double-check that all windows and shutters are locked. No matter how small your windows may be, it is surprising what a narrow gap a determined burglar can manage to get through. For extra security, fit window locks to the inside of the window.

What about entry via doors? Your back door and patio doors, which are easily forced open, should have top quality security locks fitted. Even though this is expensive it will be money well spent. Install a burglar alarm if you can afford it as another line of defence against intruders.

A sobering fact is that not all intruders have to break and enter into a property. Why go to the trouble of breaking in if you can just knock and be invited in? Beware of bogus officials or workmen and, particularly if you are elderly, fit a chain and an eye hole so you can scrutinise callers at your leisure. When you do have callers never let anybody into your home unless you are absolutely sure they are genuine. Ask to see an identity card, for example.

If you are in the frightening position of waking in the middle of the night and think you can hear an intruder, then on no account should you approach the intruder. It is far better to telephone the police and wait for help.

Question 43: A well-protected house …………

A. is less likely to be burgled. B. is regarded as a challenge by most criminals.

C. is a lot of bother to maintain. D. is very unlikely to be burgled.

Question 44: According to the writer, we should …………

A. avoid leaving our house empty.

B. only go out when we have to.

C. always keep the curtains closed.

D. give the impression that our house is occupied when we go out.

Question 45: What word best replaces “desolate” in paragraph 4?

A. isolated B. populous C. dissatisfying D. depressing

Question 46: The phrase “aforementioned precautions” in paragraph 5 refers to steps that …………

A. will tell a burglar if your house is empty or not.

B. are the most important precautions to take to make your home safe.

C. will stop a potential burglar.

D. will not stop an intruder if he has decided to try and enter your home.

Question 47: According to the writer, window locks, security locks and burglar alarms …………

A. cost a lot of money but are worth it. B. are good value for money.

C. are luxury items. D. are absolutely essential items.

Question 48: The writer argues that fitting a chain and an eye hole…………

A. will prevent your home being burgled.

B. avoids you having to invite people into your home.

C. is only necessary for elderly people.

D. gives you time to check if the visitor is genuine.

Question 49: What word best replaces “scrutinise” in paragraph 7?

A. glance B. gaze C. search D. examine

Question 50: The best title for the text is …………

A. Increasing household crime. B. Protecting your home from intruders.

FAMILY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES

Family life in the United States is changing. Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a “housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the mo ney for the family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.

These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?

Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.

Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents are often too far away to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysitter or a day-care center. The problem with t his kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.

Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for. Many companies now let people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend mo re time with their children. Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word: they are called “househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands every year.

These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.

Question 30: The word “laundry” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___________

A. tidying up B. cooking and washing up

C. washing and ironing D. shopping

Question 31: It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that__________.

A. couples with low-paid jobs can’t afford the cost of a babysitter or a day-care center

B. grandparents can help care the children in a regular way

C. all couples with jobs can pay for help from a babysitter or a day-care center

D. in the past, grandparents did not help the couples with child care

Question 32: The word “they” in paragraph 5 refers to _______________

A. husbands who stop working to stay with the children

B. fathers who spend more time with their children

C. parents who work part-time

D. children who spend more time with fathers than mothers

Question 33: The changes in the American home mentioned in this passage may ___________

A. help families B. not happen

C. cause problems for a marriage D. not change the children at all

Question 34: This article is about ________

A. American men as househusbands B. housewives in America

It is very difficult to succeed in the music business; nine out of ten bands that release a first record fail to produce a second. Surviving in the music industry requires luck and patience, but most of all it requires an intricate knowledge of how a record company functions. The process begins when a representative of a company’s Artist and Repertoire (A &R) department visits bars and night clubs, scouting for young, talented bands. After the representative identifies a promising band, he or she will work to negotiate a contract with that band. The signing of this recording contract is a slow process. A company will spend a long time investigating the band itself as well as current trends in popular music. During this period, it is important that a band reciprocate with an investigation of its own, learning as much as possible about the record company and making personal connections within the different departments that will handle their recordings. Once a band has signed the contract and, has finished recording an album, the Publicity and Promotions department takes over. This department decides whether or not to mass produce and market the band’s album.

The universal symbol of the Internet era communications, the @ sign used in e-mail addresses to signify the word 'at', is (23) a 500-year-old invention of Italian merchants, a Rome academic has revealed. Giorgio Stabile, a science professor at La Sapienza University, claims to have stumbled on the earliest known example of the symbol's use, as a(n) (24) of a measure of weight or volume. He says the sign represents an amphora, a measure of capacity based on the terracotta jars used to transport grain and liquid in the ancient Mediterranean world.

The professor unearthed toe ancient symbol in the course of research for a visual history of the 20th century, to be published by the Treccani Encyclopedia. The first (25) instance of its use, he says, occurred in a letter written by a Florentine merchant on May 4, 1536. He says the sign made its way along trade routes to northern Europe, where it came to represent 'at the price of’, its contemporary accountancy meaning.

Professor Stabile believes that Italian banks may possess even earlier documents (26) the symbol lying forgotten in their archives. The oldest example could be of great value. It could be used (27) publicity purposes and to enhance the prestige of the institution that owned it, he says. The race is on between the mercantile world and the banking world to see who has the oldest documentation of @.

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 40 to 49.

A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater lake, one of the world's largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice. Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block that comprises Antarctica. The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block of ice because its waters are warmed by geothermal heat from the earth's core. The thick glacier above Lake Vostok actually insulates it from the frigid temperatures on the surface.

The lake was first discovered in the 1970s while a research team was conducting an aerial survey of the area. Radio waves from the survey equipment penetrated the ice and revealed a body of water of indeterminate size. It was not until much more recently that data collected by satellite made scientists aware of the tremendous size of the lake; the satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains level because it is floating on the water of the lake.

The discovery of such a huge freshwater lake trapped under Antarctica is of interest to the scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient microbes that have survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors such as nuclear fallout and elevated ultraviolet light that have affected organisms in more exposed areas. The downside of the discovery, however, lies in the difficulty of conducting research on the lake in such a harsh climate and in the problems associated with obtaining uncontaminated samples from the lake without actually exposing the lake to contamination. Scientists are looking for possible ways to accomplish this.

Question 28: What is true of Lake Vostok?

A. It is completely frozen. B. It is a saltwater lake.

C. It is beneath a thick slab of ice. D. It is heated by the sun.

Question 29: All of the following are true about the 1970 survey of Antarctica EXCEPT that it .

A. was conducted by air B. made use of radio waves

C. could not determine the lake's exact size D. was controlled by a satellite

Question 30: It can be inferred from the passage that the ice would not be flat if .

A. there were no lake underneath B. the lake were not so big

C. Antarctica were not so cold D. radio waves were not used

Question 31: The word "microbes" in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by which of the following?

A. Pieces of dust B. Tiny bubbles C. Tiny organisms D. Rays of light

Question 32: Lake Vostok is potentially important to scientists because it

A. can be studied using radio waves B. may contain uncontaminated microbes

C. may have elevated levels of ultraviolet light D. has already been contaminated

Question 33: The last paragraph suggests that scientists should be aware of

  1. further discoveries on the surface of Antarctica

  2. problems with satellite-borne radar equipment

  3. ways to study Lake Vostok without contaminating it

  4. the harsh climate of Antarctica

Question 34: The purpose of the passage is to .

  1. explain how Lake Vostok was discovered

  2. provide satellite data concerning Antarctica

  3. discuss future plans for Lake Vostok

  4. present an unexpected aspect of Antarctica's geography

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 50 to 59.

Perhaps the most striking quality of satiric literature is its freshness and its originality of perspective. Satire itself, however, rarely offers original ideas. Instead, it presents the familiar in a new form. Satirists do not offer the world new philosophies. What they do is look at familiar conditions from a perspective that makes these conditions seem foolish, harmful, or affected. Satire jars us out of complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that many of the values we unquestioningly accept are false.

Don Quixote makes chivalry seem absurd; Brave New World ridicules the pretensions of science; A Modest Proposal dramatizes starvation by advocating cannibalism. None of these ideas is original. Chivalry was suspect before Cervantes, humanists objected to the claims of pure science before Aldous Huxley, and people were aware of famine before Swift.

It was not the originality of the idea that made these satires popular. It was the manner of expression, the satiric method, that made them interesting and entertaining. Satires are read because they are aesthetically satisfying works of art, not because they are morally wholesome or ethically instructive. They are stimulating and refreshing because with commonsense briskness they brush away illusions and secondhand opinions. With spontaneous irreverence, satire rearranges perspectives, scrambles familiar objects into incongruous juxtaposition, and speaks in a personal idiom instead of abstract platitude.

Satire exists because there is need for it. It has lived because readers appreciate a refreshing stimulus, an irreverent reminder that they live in a world of platitudinous thinking, cheap moralizing, and foolish philosophy. Satire serves to prod people into an awareness of truth, though rarely to any action on behalf of truth. Satire tends to remind people that much of what they see, hear, and read in popular media is sanctimonious, sentimental, and only partially true. Life resembles in only a slight degree the popular image of it.

Question 35: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Difficulties of writing satiric literature. B. Popular topics of satire.

C. New philosophies emerging from satiric literature. D. Reasons for the popularity of satire.

Question 36: Don Quixote, Brave New World, and A Modest Proposal are cited by the author as .

A. classic satiric works B. a typical approach to satire

C. best satirists of all times D. good critiques by satirists

Question 37: What satires fascinates readers is how .

A. ideas are expressed B. ideas are organized C. realistic they are D. plots are created

Question 38: Which of the following can be found in satiric literature?

A. Newly emerging philosophies. B. Odd combinations of objects and ideas.

C. Abstract discussion of morals and ethics. D. Wholesome characters who are unselfish.

Question 39: According to the passage, there is a need for satire because people need to be .

  1. informed about new scientific developments

  2. exposed to original philosophies when they are formulated

  3. reminded that popular ideas may often be inaccurate

  4. told how they can be of service to their communities

Question 40: The word "refreshing" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .

A. popular B. revitalizing C. common D. awakening

Question 41: The word "sanctimonious" may be new to you. It most probably means " " in this context.

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 Africa, people celebrate with joy the birth of a new baby. The Pygmies would sing a birth­-song to the child. In Kenya, the mother takes the baby strapped to her back into the thorn enclosure where the cattle are kept. There, her husband and the village elders wait to give the child his or her name.

In West Africa, after the baby is eight days old, the mother takes the baby for its first walk in the big, wide world, and friends and family are invited to meet the new baby. In various African nations, they hold initiation ceremonies for groups of children instead of birthdays. When children reach a certain designated age, they learn the laws, beliefs, customs, songs and dances of their tribes. Some African tribes consider that children from nine to twelve are ready to be initiated into the grown up world. They may have to carry out several tests.

Maasai boys around thirteen years old to seventeen undergo a two-stage initiation. The first stage lasts about three months. The boys leave their parents' homes, paint their bodies white, and are taught how to become young warriors. At the end of this stage, they have their heads shaved and they are also circumcised. At the second stage, the young warriors grow their hair long and live in a camp called a "manyatta" where they practice hunting the wild animals that might attack the Maasai herds. This stage may last a few years. When they are ready, they will marry and become owners of large cattle herds like their fathers. The girls are initiated when they are fourteen or fifteen. They are taught by the older women about the duties of marriage and how to care for babies. Soon after that they are married and lead a life similar to that of their mothers.

Question 33. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Celebrations in Africa.

B. Activities in a birth celebration.

C. Birthday ceremonies for children in Africa.

D. Traditions of Maasai people when having a new baby.

Question 34. Where do people in Kenya give the name to the child?

A. near the thorn fence B. at their house

C. on the cattle farm D. at the village church

B. An eight-day-old child will be taken for the first walk by his or her mother.

C. Children have to overcome a few trials to enter the grown-up world.

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.

The green building movement, started in the 1970s as a way to reduce environmental destruction, is changing the way buildings are constructed. In the early years, green builders were a small minority, and their goals of reducing the environmental impact of buildings were considered unrealistic. Now, however, the movement is growing, as builders have been able to take advantage of new technology.

Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in dumps. Also, they reduce environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a building. One way is to provide an alternative, non-polluting source of energy. First, with solar panels, it is possible to produce electricity from the rays of the sun. Once installed, they provide energy at no cost and with no pollution.

Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building. It is possible to cut electricity use noticeably by improving natural lighting and installing low-energy light bulbs. To reduce the amount of fuel needed for heating or cooling, builders also add insulation to the walls so that the building stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most environmentally responsible office building in America. Every aspect of the design and building had to consider two things: the need for a safe and pleasant workplace for employees and the need to lessen the negative environmental impact. 75 percent of the building materials were recycled materials, and the energy use has been reduced by 43 percent and water use by 32 percent, compared with other buildings of the same size.

In other parts of the world, several large-scale projects have recently been developed according to green building principles. One of these is in Vauban, Germany, in an area that was once the site of army housing. The site has been completely rebuilt with houses requiring 30 percent less energy than conventional ones. These houses, heated by special non-polluting systems, are also equipped with solar panels.

A larger project is under way in China. The first phase of this project will include houses for 400 families built with solar power, non-polluting bricks, and recycled wall insulation. In a second phase, entire neighborhoods in six cities will be built. If all goes well, the Chinese government plans to copy these ideas in new neighborhoods across China.

Green building ideas, on a small or large scale, are spreading. Individuals, companies, and governments are beginning to see their benefits. Not only are they environmentally friendly, green buildings improve living and working conditions and also save money in the long run.

(Adapted from "Advanced Reading Power" by Beatrice S. Mikulecky and Linda Jeffries)

A. Economic benefits of environmentally responsible buildings.

B. Successful green building projects all over the world.

C.An environmentally friendly approach to constructing buildings.

D. New technologies applied to constructing office buildings.

Question 39. According to paragraph 1, the environmental goals set by green builders were initially considered unrealistic presumably because _______.

B.the potential applications of technology to constructing green buildings were not recognised then.

C. there was a lack of green builders at the beginning of the 20th century.

D. there was an abundance of natural materials for the construction of conventional buildings.

Question 40. The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to _______.

A.solar panels. B. rays of the sun. C.green builders. D. recycled materials.

Question 41. The word "insulation" in paragraph 3 mostly means _______.

A. devices that monitor changes in temperature.

B. panels that convert solar energy into electricity.

C. systems that protect buildings from the sun's rays.

D.materials that prevent heat loss and absorption.

Question 42. What is one common characteristic shared by the Genzyme Center of Cambridge and the project in Vauban, Germany?

A.Both were built based on green building principles, which reduces energy use considerably.

B. Both took advantage of new insulation technology, which cuts down on construction costs.

C. Both are housing complexes with special, non-polluting heating systems.

D. Both were built out of entirely recycled materials instead of conventional ones.

It is commonly believed 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 difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.

Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no limits. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal learning. The agent (doer) of education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the radio, from a child to a famous 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 receive 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 a necessary 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 about the same time, take the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of governments, have been limited by the subjects 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 society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.

Question 36: This passage is mainly aimed at ______.

  1. giving examples of different schools

  2. telling the difference between the meaning of two related words

  3. listing and discussing several educational problems

  4. telling a story about excellent teachers

Question 37: In the passage, the expression “children interrupt their education to go to school mostly implies that ______.

  1. education is totally ruined by schooling

  2. all of life is an education

  3. schooling takes place everywhere

  4. schooling prevents people discovering things

Question 38: According to the passage, the doers of education are ______.

A. mostly famous scientists B. mainly politicians

C. only respected grandparents D. almost all people

Question 39: What does the writer mean by saying “education quite often produces surprises”?

  1. Educators often produce surprises.

  2. It’s surprising that we know little about other religions.

  3. Success of informal learning is predictable.

  4. Informal learning often brings about unexpected results.

Question 40: Which of the following would the writer support?

  1. Without formal education, people won’t be able to read and write.

  2. Schooling is of no use because students do similar things every day.

  3. Our education system needs to be changed as soon as possible.

  4. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.

Question 41: The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to ______.

A. workings of governments B. political problems

C. newest filmmakers D. high school students

Question 42: Because the general pattern of schooling varies little from one setting to the next, school children throughout the country ______.

Question 43: From the passage, we can infer that a high school teacher ______.

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 44 to 50.

Ancient people made clay pottery because they needed it for their survival. They used the pots they made for cooking, storing food, and carrying things from place to place. Pottery was so important to early cultures that scientists now study it to learn more about ancient civilizations. The more advanced the pottery in terms of decoration, materials, glazes and manufacture, the more advanced the culture itself.

The artisan who makes pottery in North America today utilizes his or her skill and imagination to create items that are beautiful as well as functional, transforming something ordinary into something special and unique.

The potter uses one of the Earth’s most basic materials, clay. Clay can be found almost everywhere. Good pottery clay must be free from all small stones and other hard materials that would make the potting process difficult. Most North American artisan-potters now purchase commercially processed clay, but some find the clay they need right in the earth, close to where they work.

The most important tools potters use are their own hand; however, they also use wire loop tools, wooden modeling tools, plain wire, and sponges. Plain wire is used to cut away the finished pot from its base on the potter’s wheel.

After a finished pot is dried of all its moisture in the open air, it is placed in a kiln and fired. The first firing hardens the pottery, and it is then ready to be glazed and fired again. For areas where they do not want any glaze, such as the bottom of the pot, artisans paint on melted wax that will later burn off in the kiln. They then pour on the liquid glaze and let it run over the clay surface, making any kind of decorative pattern that they want.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the following questions 30 to 34

Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always been the case in society. Thousands of years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is today. A man usually lived until he was about 40 years old, while women died even sooner because of childbirth. There were many wars and illnesses, and people had to protect themselves by having more children while they were still young. The parents lived through their children.

Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction, or deal. Most marriages were arranged between parents while their children were still very young. It was the custom that the fathers made the decision on whom their children were going to marry. The mothers had little say in it since they rarely made any decisions outside the household. The fathers would meet to arrange the wedding date and the money given for the bride on her wedding date. The more money and land a girl had, the more chances she had to marry well. Therefore, it was important that her father choose the bridegroom very well. Usually, it was someone who came from a good family or who was rich too. It was very unlikely that people married outside their social class. A few well-off and rich merchants got to marry poorer noblewomen and became King’s business advisors. In a way, poor peasants had an easier choice as it was less important whom they married.

The practice of arranged marriage is still common in some countries in the Middle East, such as India or Pakistan. Here, social classes are still strongly divided and very well-kept. Often, however, arranged marriages are a sign that people do not want to let go of the past, which gives them comfort and security in an ever-changing world.

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 42.

Advertising helps people recognize a particular brand, persuades them to try it, and tries to keep them loyal to it. Brand loyalty is perhaps the most important goal of consumer advertising. Whether they produce cars, canned foods or cosmetics, manufacturers want their customers to make repeated purchases. The quality of the product will encourage this, of course, but so, too, will affect advertising.

Advertising relies on the techniques of market research to identify potential users of a product. Are they homemakers or professional people? Are they young or old? Are they city dwellers or country dwellers? Such questions have a bearing on where and when ads should be placed. By studying readership breakdowns for newspapers and magazines as well as television ratings and other statistics, an advertising agency can decide on the best way of reaching potential buyers. Detailed research and marketing expertise are essential today when advertising budgets can run into thousands of millions of dollars.

Advertising is a fast-paced, high-pressure industry. There is a constant need for creative ideas that will establish a personality for a product in the public's mind. Current developments in advertising increase the need for talented workers.

In the past, the majority of advertising was aimed at the traditional white family - breadwinner father, non- working mother, and two children. Research now reveals that only about 6 percent of American households fit this stereotype. Instead, society is fragmented into many groups, with working mothers, single people and older people on the rise. To be most successful, advertising must identify a particular segment and aim its message toward that group.

Advertising is also making use of new technologies. Computer graphics are used to grab the attention of consumers and to help them see products in a new light. The use of computer graphics in a commercial for canned goods, for instance, gave a new image to the tin can.

Question 35: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. How to develop a successful advertising plan.

B. New techniques and technologies of market research.

C. The central role of advertising in selling products.

D. The history of advertising in the United States.

Question 36: The word "this" in bold type in paragraph 1 refers to .

A. the quality of the product B. effective advertising

C. repeatedly buying the same brand D. the most important goal

Question 37: It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that advertisers must .

A. encourage people to try new products

B. aim their message at homemakers and professional people

C. know about the people who will buy the product

D. place several ads in newspapers and magazines

Question 38: According to paragraph 2, market research includes .

A. studying television ratings.

B. hiring researchers with backgrounds in many fields.

C. searching for talented workers.

D. determining the price of a product.

Question 39: The author implies that the advertising industry requires_______ .

A. millions of dollars B. a college-educated work force

C. innovative thinking D. government regulation

Question 40: According to the passage, most advertising used to be directed at .

A. working mothers with children B. two-parent families with children

C. unmarried people D. older adults

Question 41: The phrase "in a new light" in bold type in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to_______

A. differently B. with the use of color enhancement

C. more distinctly D. in a more energy-efficient way

Question 42: Where in the passage does the author give an example of a new development in advertising?

People are often surprised to learn just how long some varieties of trees can live. If asked to estimate the age of the oldest living trees on Earth, they often come up with guesses in the neighborhood of two or perhaps three hundred years. The real answer is considerably larger than that, more than five thousand years.

The tree that wins the prize for its considerable maturity is the bristlecone pine of California. This venerable pine predates wonders of the ancient world such as the pyramids of Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and the Colossus of Rhodes. It is not nearly as tall as the giant redwood that is also found in California, and in fact it is actually not very tall compared with many other trees, often little more than five meters in height. This relatively short height may be one of the factors that aid the bristlecone pine living to a ripe old age-high winds and inclement weather cannot easily reach the shorter trees and cause damage. An additional factor that contributes to the long life of the bristlecone pine is that this type of tree has a high percentage of resin, which prevents rot from developing in the tree trunk and branches.

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

Coincident with concerns about the accelerating loss of species and habitats has been growing appreciation of the importance of biological diversity, the number of species in a particular ecosystem, to the health of the Earth and human well-being. Much has been written about the diversity of terrestrial organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich life associated with tropical rain-forest habitats. Relatively little has been said, however, about diversity of life in the sea even though coral reef systems are comparable to rain forests in terms of richness of life.

An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet’s dominants, most-distinctive feature - the ocean. Humans have a bias toward land that sometimes gets in the way of truly examining global issues. Seen from far away, it is easy to realize that landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth’s surface. Given that two thirds of the Earth’s surface is water and that marine life lives at all levels of the ocean, the total three-dimensional living space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and contains more than 90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct species.

The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world’s rain forests does not seem surprising, considering the huge number of insects that comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist found many different species of ants in just one tree from a rain forest. While every species is different from every other species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be insects and to share similar characteristics with 750,000 species of insects. If basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasis than differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is unquestionably the sea. Nearly every major type of plant and animal has some representation there.To appreciate fully the diversity and abundance of life in the sea, it helps to think small. Every spoonful of ocean water contains life, on the order of 100 to 100,000 bacterial cells plus assorted microscopic plants and animals, including larvae of organisms ranging from sponges and corals to starfish and clams and much more.

Each year, the Academy Awards, better known as the "Oscars", celebrate the best films and documentaries with categories ranging from acting, directing and screenwriting, to costumes and special effects. This year, 9-year-old Quvenzhané Wallis joins the list of kids who have taken the movie business by storm, as she competes for the best actress award for her role as „Hushpuppy' in the film "Beasts of the Southern Wild".

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is made up of filmmakers in all fields. The group ranks their favorites in each category. Oftentimes Oscar recognition can take many years, but for some lucky and talented individuals that honor comes early in life.

Newcomer Quvenzhané Wallis (pronounced Kwe-VEN-zhah-nay) portrayed "Hushpuppy", a young girl fighting to survive in a poor Mississippi Delta community prone to devastating flooding. In the film, Wallis learns to find food in the wilderness, escapes a homeless shelter and deals with the death of her father. She will be the youngest ever nominee in the best actress category at nine years old.

Born in Houma, LA., Quvenzhané was just five years old when she auditioned for Beasts of the Southern Wild. Since auditions for the role of Hushpuppy were only open to 6-9 year olds, Quvenzhané's mother lied on the initial paperwork to allow her daughter to audition. When director Benh Zeitlin saw her audition however, he immediately recognized her as the best pick for this strong and independent young character.

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.

No sooner had the first intrepid male aviators safely returned to Earth than it seemed that women, too, had been smitten by an urge to fly. From mere spectators, they became willing passengers and finally pilots in their own right, plotting their skills and daring line against the hazards of the air and the skepticism of their male counterparts. In doing so they enlarged the traditional bounds of a women's world, won for their sex a new sense of competence and achievement, and contributed handsomely to the progress of aviation.

But recognition of their abilities did not come easily. "Men do not believe us capable." The famed aviator Amelia Earhart once remarked to a friend. "Because we are women, seldom are we trusted to do an efficient job." Indeed old attitudes died hard: when Charles Lindbergh visited the Soviet Union in 1938 with his wife, Anne-herself a pilot and gifted proponent of aviation - he was astonished to discover both men and women flying in the Soviet Air Force.

Such conventional wisdom made it difficult for women to raise money for the up - to - date equipment they needed to compete on an equal basis with men. Yet they did compete, and often they triumphed finally despite the odds.

Ruth Law, whose 590 - mile flight from Chicago to Hornell, New York, set a new nonstop distance record in 1916, exemplified the resourcefulness and grit demanded of any woman who wanted to fly. And when she addressed the Aero Club of America after completing her historic journey, her plainspoken wordstestified to a universal human motivation that was unaffected by gender: "My flight was done with no expectation of reward," she declared, "just purely for the love of accomplishment."

38. What can be inferred from the passage about the United States Air Force in 1938?

A. It had no women pilots. B. It gave pilots handsome salaries.

C. It had old planes that were in need of repair. D. It could not be trusted to do an efficient job.

39. The word 'counterparts' refers to ________.

A. passengers B. skills C. hazards D. pilots

40. In their efforts to compete with men, early women pilots had difficulty in ______.

A. addressing clubs B. setting records C. flying nonstop D. raising money

41. The word 'skepticism' is closest in meaning to _______.

A. doubt B. surprise C. hatred D. support

42. According to the passage, who said that flying was done with no expectation of reward?

A. Charles Lindbergh B. Anne Lindbergh C. Ruth Law D. Amelia Earhart

43. According to the passage, women pilots were successful in all of the following EXCEPT___.

A. winning universal recognition from men B. challenging the conventional role of women

C. building the confidence of women D. contributing to the science of aviation

44. The word 'addressed' can be best replaced by ________.

A. consulted B. came back to C. spoke to D. mailed

45. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A. Women Spectators B. A Long Flight

C. Dangers Faced by Pilots D. Women in Aviation History

Read the following passage carefully and mark the letter A,B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 40.

NOISE POLLUTION

The word "noise" is derived from the Latin word "nausea," meaning seasickness. Noise is among the most pervasive pollutants today. Noise pollution can broadly be defined as unwantesd or effensive sounds that unreasonably intrude into our daily activitives. Noise from road traffic, jet planes, barking dogs, garbage trucks, construction equipment, manufacturing processes, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and boom boxes, to name a few, are among the audible litter that is routinely broadcast into the air.

One measure of pollution is the danger it poses to health. Noise negatively affects human health and well-being. Problems related to noise include hearing loss, stress, high blood pressure, sleep loss, distraction and lost productivity. Noise polluyion also contribute to a general reduction in the quality of life and opportunities for tranquility.

We experience noise in a number of ways. On some occasions, we can be both the cause and the victim of noise, such as when we are operating noisy appliances or equipment. There are also instances when we experience noise generated by others just as people experience second-hand smoke. While in both instances, noise is equally damaging physically, second-hand noise is more troubling because it has negative impacts on us but is put into the environment by others, without our consent.

The air into which second-hand noise is emitted and on which it travels is a "commons". It belongs not to an individual person or group, but to everyone. People, businesses, and organizations, therefore, do not have unlimited rights to broadcast noise as they please, as if the effects of noise were limited only to their private property. Those that disregard the obligation to not interfere with others’ use and enjoyment of the commons by producing noise pollution are , in many ways, acting like a bully in a scholyard. Although they may do so unkowingly, they disregard the rights of others and claim for themselves rights that are not theirs.

The actual loudness of a sound is only one component of the negative effect noise pollution has on human beings. Other factors that have to be considered are the time and place, the duration, the source of the sound, and even the mood of the effect person. Most people wuold not be bothered by the sound of a 21-gun salute on a special occasion. On the other hand, the thump-thump of music coming the apartment downstairs at 2 a.m., even if barely audible, may be a major source of stress. The sound of the neigbour;s lawn mower may be unobjectionable on a summer afternoon, but if someone is hoping to sleep late on Sunday morning, the sound of a lawn mower starting up just after sunrise is a irritant.

One of the highest honors for journalists, writers, and musical composers is the Pulitzer Prize. First awarded in 1917, the Pulitzer Prize has been won by Emest Hemingway, Harper Lee, John F. Kennedy, and Rodgers and Hammerstein, among others. As with many famous awards, this prize was named after its founder, Joseph Pulitzer. Joseph Pulitzer’s story, like that of many immigrants to the United States, is one of hardship, hard work, and triumph. Born in Hungary, Joseph Pulitzer moved to the United States in 1864. He wanted to be a reporter, but he started his American life by fighting in the American Civil War. After the war, Pulitzer worked for the German – language newspaper, the Westliche Post. His skills as a reporter were wonderful, and he soon became a partial owner of the paper.

In 1878, Pulitzer was able to start a newspaper of his own. Right from the first edition, the newspaper took a controversial approach to news. Pulitzer wanted to appeal to the average reader, so he produced exciting stories of scandal and intrigue. Such an approach is commonplace today, but in Putlizer’s time it was new and different. The approach led to the discovery of many instances of corruption by influential people. Pulitzer’s paper became very famous and is still produced today.

The success of Joseph Pulitzer’s newspaper made him a very wealthy man, so he wanted to give something back to his profession. Throughout his later years, he worked to establish university programs for the teaching of journalism, and he funded numerous scholarships to assist journalism students. Finally, he wanted to leave a legacy that would encourage writers to remember the importance of quality. On his death, he gave two million dollars to Columbia University so that they could award prizes to great writers.

Câu 46: According to the reading passage, who receives the Pulitzer Prize?

A. most newspaper reporters. B. journalism students.

C. noted writers and composers. D. Columbia University graduates.

Câu 47: The word “partial” in the passage is closest in meaning to .

A. brand new B. very important C. in part only D. one and only

Câu 48: Why does the writer mention “John F. Kennedy” in line 2?

A. He was one of the people who selected the Pulitzer winners.

B. He was one of the winners of the Pulitzer Prize.

C. He was in one of the scandals reported on by Joseph Pulitzer.

D. He was one of the inventors of the famous awards.

Câu 49: Which sentence about the Pulitzer Prize is NOT true according to the reading passage?

A. Receiving the prize is one of the highest honors of writers.

B. Joseph Pulitzer left money to award to the prizewinners.

C. Winning the prize is the highlight of a writer’s career.

D. Joseph Pulitzer was the first writer to win the prize in 1917.

Câu 50: According to the reading passage, why did Joseph Pulitzer invent the Pulitzer Prize?

A. to encourage journalism students to achieve their goals.

B. to encourage writers to remember the importance of quality.

C. to encourage people to remember his name and success.

D. to encourage people to appreciate the work of the Pulitzer winners.

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.

One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others. Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.

The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers. As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers.

Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other.

By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied.

Question 30: Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because .

A. few people could read to themselves

B. there were few places available for private reading

C. silent reading had not been discovered

D. people relied on reading for entertainment

Question 31: The word “commonplace” in the first paragraph mostly means “___ ”.

A. attracting attention B. for everybody’s use C. most preferable D. widely used

Question 32: Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of _______.

A. the decreasing need to read aloud B. the development of libraries

C. the increase in literacy D. the decreasing number of listeners

Question 33: It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialised reading materials was an indication of _________.

A. a decline of standards of literacy B. a change in the readers’ interest

C. an improvement of printing techniques D. an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes

Question 34: All of the following might be the factors that affected the continuation of the old shared literacy culture EXCEPT ______ .

A. the inappropriate reading skills B. the printed mass media

C. the diversity of reading materials D. the specialised readership

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 42

The three phases of human memory are the sensory memory, the short-term memory, and the long- term memory. This division of the memory into phases is based on the length of time of the memory.

Sensory memory is instantaneous memory. It is an image or memory that enters your mind only for a short period of time; it comes and goes in under a second. The memory will not last longer than that unless the information enters the short-term memory.

Information can be held in the short-term memory for about twenty seconds or as long as you are actively using it. If you repeat a fact to yourself, that fact will stay in your short-term memory as long as you keep repeating it. Once you stop repeating it, either it is forgotten or it moves into long term memory.

Long-term memory is the huge memory tank that can hold ideas and images for years and years. Information can be added to your long-term memory when you actively try to put it there through memorization or when an idea or image enters your mind on its own.

Question 35: The best title for this passage would be __________.

A. The difference between sensory and short-term memory

A. Is on the top of B. is at the foot of C. depends on D. is below

Question 38: According to the passage, which type of memory is the shortest?

A. Sensory memory B. Active memory

C. Short-term memory D. Long-term memory

Question 39: According to the passage, when will information stay in your short-term memory?

A. For as long as twenty minutes B. As long as it is being used.

C. After you have repeated it many times. D. When it has moved into long-term memory.

A. it has a very large capacity.

B. it can hold information.

C. it is possible to put information into it through memorization.

D. memorization is the only way that information can get there.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.

A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which 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 new people 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.

Question 31. Which word is given definition in the text?

A. sampling B. poll C. survey D. interview

Question 32. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The principles of conducting surveys.

B. The importance of polls in American political life.

C. Problems associated with interpreting surveys.

A. A sociologist who is able to interpret the results

B. Carefully worded questions

C. An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings

D. A high number of respondents

Question 34. The word "indispensable” is closest in meaning to __________.

Question 35. It can be inferred from the passage that one reason that sociologists may become frustrated with questionnaires is that _________.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C and D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 43.

The ruined temples of Angkor are perhaps one of the most impressive Seven Wonders of the World. Located in modern day Cambodia near Lake TonIe Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Asia, Angkor was the seat of power for the Khmer Empire from the ninth to the fifteenth century. The ruins of Angkor are documented as some of the most impressive ones in the world, rivaling the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Why this mighty civilization died out is a question that archeologists are now only beginning to ponder. The answer, it turns out, may be linked with the availability of fresh water.

One possible explanation for the downfall of the Khmer Empire has to do with the inhabitants’ irrigation system. The temple and palaces of Angkor were constructed around a series of artificial reservoirs and canals which were annually flooded to capacity by the Mekong River. Once filled, they were used to irrigate the surrounding rice paddies and farmland during the course of the year. Farmers were completely dependent upon the water for their crucial rice crop. Without consistent irrigation, the farmers would have been unable to maintain functional crop production.

Scientists speculate that toward the end of the Khmer Empire the hydraulic systems of the reservoirs and canals broke down. The construction of hundreds of sandstone temples and palaces required an enormous amount of physical labor. In addition, as the capital of the Khmer Empire, Angkor contained upwards of one hundred thousand people who resided in and around Angkor. In order to feed so many people, the local farmers were driven to grow food quicker and more efficiently. After centuries of continual use, the irrigation system was pushed beyond its capacity. Soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and the loss of water led to decrease in the food supply. With less food available, the people of Angkor slowly began to migrate to other parts of Cambodia thus leaving the marvelous city of Angkor to be swallowed by the jungle. Therefore, it is speculated that the Khmer Empire may have fallen victim to its own decrepit infrastructure.

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 30 to 34

Mass transportation revised the social and economic fabric of the American city in three fundamental ways. It catalyzed physical expansion, it sorted out people and land uses, and it accelerated the inherent instability of urban life. By opening vast areas of unoccupied land for residential expansion, the omnibuses, horse railways, commuter trains, and electric trolleys pulled settled regions outward two to four times more distant from city centers than they were in the pre- modern era. In 1850, for example, the borders of Boston lay scarcely two miles from the old business district; by the turn of the century the radius extended ten miles. Now those who could afford it could live far removed from the old city center and still commute there for work, shopping, and entertainment. The new accessibility of land around the periphery of almost every major city sparked an explosion of real estate development and fueled what we now know as urban sprawl. Between 1890 and 1920, for example, some 250,000 new residential lots were recorded within the borders of Chicago, most of them located in outlying areas. Over the same period, another 550,000 were plotted outside the city limits but within the metropolitan area. Anxious to take advantage of the possibilities of commuting, real estate developers added 800,000 potential building sites to the Chicago region in just thirty years – lots that could have housed five to six million people.

Of course, many were never occupied; there was always a huge surplus of subdivided, but vacant, land around Chicago and other cities. These excesses underscore a feature of residential expansion related to the growth of mass transportation: urban sprawl was essentially unplanned. It was carried out by thousands of small investors who paid little heed to coordinated land use or to future land users. Those who purchased and prepared land for residential purposes, particularly land near or outside city borders where transit lines and middle-class inhabitants were anticipated, did so to create demand as much as to respond to it. Chicago is a prime example of this process. Real estate subdivision there proceeded much faster than population growth.

What we today call American folk art was, indeed, art of, by, and for ordinary, everyday “folks” who, with increasing prosperity and leisure, created a market for art of all kinds, and especially for portraits. Citizens of prosperous, essentially middle-class republics-whether ancient Romans, seventeenth-century Dutch burghers, or nineteenth-century Americans-have always shown a marked taste for portraiture. Starting in the late eighteenth century, the United States contained increasing numbers of such people, and of the artists who could meet their demands. The earliest American folk art portraits come, not surprisingly, from New England- especially Connecticut and Massachusetts-for this was a wealthy and populous region and the center of a strong craft tradition. Within a few decades after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the population was pushing westward, and portrait painters could be found at work in western New York, Ohio,

Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri. Midway through its first century as a nation, the United States' population had increased roughly five times, and eleven new states had been added to the original thirteen. During these years the demand for portraits grew and grew eventually to be satisfied by the camera. In 1839 the daguerreotype was introduced to America, ushering in the age of photography, and within a generation the new invention put an end to the popularity of painted portraits. Once again an original portrait became a luxury, commissioned by the wealthy and executed by the professional.

But in the heyday of portrait painting-from the late eighteenth century until the

1850's-anyone with a modicum of artistic ability could become a limner, as such a portraitist was called. Local craftspeople-sign, coach, and house painters-began to paint portraits as a profitable sideline; sometimes a talented man or woman who began by sketching family members gained a local reputation and was besieged with requests for portraits; artists found it worth their while to pack their paints, canvases, and brushes and to travel the countryside, often combining house decorating with portrait painting.
