A The best way to understand the creation of literature is through Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis B Freud argued convincingly that both psychic phenomena and literature may be interpreted with reference to the unconscious C Creating works of literature is very similar to dreaming D Freud’s theories explain why both dreams and literature contain various forms of disorder According to the passage, which of the following is true of Freud? A He was a literary theorist B He has had an influence on literary theory C He wrote several plays and poems that illustrate his theories D He was the first to discover the unconscious The word impetus could best be replaced by _ A source B opposite C form D reason The word both refers to _ A displacement and symbolization B repression and the economy of psychic expenditure C cultural and psychic phenomena D principles and mechanisms The author uses the phrase formal fantasy in order to A describe the nature of literature B describe the nature of the unconscious C give an example of diversion from reality D give an example of a Freudian principle Which is the best place for the following sentence? “And like dreams, literary works can have more than one interpretation.” A [1] B [2] C [3] D [4] According to the passage, displacement in dreams is similar to A symbolization B metaphor C symbolism D repression What possible objection to the passage’s main idea does the author discuss in the last paragraph? A Freud emphasized the unconscious, but writing results from conscious thought B Freud claimed that art is created logically, but it really has unconscious origins C Writers have never placed much significance on dreams D Freud argued that literature is individual, but it is actually universal The word their refers to _ A writers B works C theories D dreams 10 Why does the author mention multiple meanings and repetition in paragraph 3? A To emphasize the non-rational nature of art B To give examples of “disorder” in art C To show the similarity between art and dreams D To give examples of divine inspiration Passage (5pts) Another critical factor that plays a part in susceptibility to colds is age A study done by the University of Michigan School of Public Health revealed particulars that seem to hold true for the general population Infants are the most cold-ridden group, averaging more than six colds in their first year Boys have more colds than girls up to age three After the age of three, girls are more susceptible than boys, and teenage girls average three colds a year to boys’ two The general incidence of colds continues to decline into maturity Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds annually One exception is found among people in their twenties, especially women, who show a rise in cold infections, because people in this age group are most likely to have young children Adults who delay having children until their thirties and forties experience the same sudden increase in cold infections The study also found that economics plays an important role As income increases, the frequency at which colds are reported in the family decreases Families with the lowest income suffer about a third more colds than families at the upper end Lower income generally forces people to live in more cramped quarters than those typically occupied by wealthier people, and crowding increases the opportunities for the cold virus to travel from person to person Low income may also adversely influence diet The degree to which poor nutrition affects susceptibility to colds is not yet clearly established, but an inadequate diet is suspected of lowering resistance generally The paragraph that precedes this passage most probably deals with _ A minor diseases other than colds B the recommended treatment of colds C a factor that affects susceptibility to colds D methods of preventing colds among elderly people Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word ‘particulars’ in the first paragraph ? A Minor errors B Specific facts C Small distinctions D Individual people What does the author claim about the study discussed in the passage? A It contains many inconsistencies B It specializes in children C It contradicts the results of earlier studies in the field D Its results apparently are relevant for the population as a whole It may be inferred from the passage that which of the following groups of people is most likely to catch cold? A Infant boys B Young girls C Teenage boys D Elderly women paragraph of the passage There is information in the second which of the following conclusions? A Men are more susceptible to colds than women B Children infect their parents with colds C People who live in a cold climate have more colds than those who live in a warm one D People who don’t have children are more susceptible to colds than those who The phrase “people in this age group” near the end of paragraph refers to A infants B people in their twenties C people in their thirties and forties D elderly people The author’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph of the passage was to A explain how cold viruses are transmitted B prove that a poor diet causes colds C discuss the relationship between income and frequency of colds D analyze the distribution of income among the people in the study The word ‘cramped’ is closest in meaning to A cheap B crowded C depressing D simple The families with lowest income suffer _ A a third of the colds that the families with higher income B fewer colds than the families with higher income C as many colds as the families with higher income D more colds than the families with higher income 10 The author’s tone in this passage could best be described as _ A neutral B humorous C tentative D critical Đáp án : Passage 1 B C
