Mã đề thi 422 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 32 to 36 In the United States and other developed countries, air-conditioning is so common that it is difficult to remember what life was like before it existed First invented in 1902 in Buffalo, New York, air-conditioning keeps homes, cars, offices, and shoppịng centers cool and dry, all at the push of a button While many may consider airconditioning one of life's necessary luxuries, few are aware of how air-conditioning has changed many aspects of the way we now live One of the first areas where air-conditioning had ạn impact was in industry In the early 1900s factory owners began to use air- conditioning to create better conditions for the storage of supplies Before long, however, they realized that air-conditioning was also useful on the factory floor, as it resulted in higher production levels Air-conditioning has undoubtedly been an important factor in the growth of industry, since it allows manufacturing to continue at the same pace year round even in the warmest climates Air-conditioning next became common in movie theaters, offlces, and stores Then, after the end of the Second World War, smaller, less expensive air-conditioning units became available, and this made air-conditioning affordable for private homes Many of the returning soldiers and their new families moved to the suburbs outside America's major cities with a desire to put the war behind them and live the good life Air-conditioned homes were part of that life, and this led to a number of important changes in American society One big change was in architecture Formerly, homes were built with high ceilings and second stories so that hot air could rise away from main living areas in the summer With air-conditioning, inexpensive one-level homes could be kept cool in the hottest weather Additionally, many homes once had front porches where American families gathered in the evening to escape the heat Family members could talk to each other and to neighbors or passers-by With airconditioning however, porches disappeared from new houses and people moved indoors instead Along with other factors, such as the invention of television, this led to a weakening of Americans' sense of community Question 32: In developed countries, air-conditioning is A difflcult to remember B liked by everyone C very popular D expensive Question 33: Air-conditioning first had a great influence on A stored supplies B industrial workers C industrial suppliers D factory owners Question 34: Air-conditioning was found useful in factories as it A created favourable conditions for customers B improved productivity C made the level higher D stopped temperature drop Question 35: The word "undoubtedly" in the first paragraph can be best replaced by A surprisingly B obviously C suspiciously D unfortunately Question 36: The best title of the passage could be A “Air-conditioning and private life” B “The invention of air-conditioners” C “The influence of air-conditioning on people's life” D “Air-conditioning and history” Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word(s) CLOSEST in meaning to the underlined word(s) in each of the following questions Question 37: All of my classmates are always willing to support me whenever I am in trouble A reluctant B ready C likely D obliged Question 38: We heard the sound of an approaching car, so we ran away A coming B moving C running D breaking Mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the underlined part that needs correction in each of the following questions Question 39: A big wedding requires a lot of preparation, such as sending invitations, hiring costumes and choose A B C D dishes Question 40: It is high time the government helps the unemployed to find some jobs A B C D Question 41: Most oxygen atoms have eight neutrons, but a small amount have nine or ten A B C D Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word whose underlined part differs from the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions Question 42: A prepared B interviewed C explained D disappointed Question 43: A ethnic B smell C effect D describe 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 RELIGION IN JAPAN The native religion of Japan is Shintou, an indigenous folk religion that finds spirits abounding in nature There is no formal creed, or indeed much of any philosophy behind it It basically allows followers a way of currying Trang 3/4 - Mã đề thi 422 favour with various gods so as to receive good luck Even today, many older Japanese will, when walking past a shrine, turn and bow to the spirits within Mahayana Buddhism arrived in Japan in the 6th century Over the centuries, it grew in prestige and divided into sects Today, the most well-known forms of Japanese Buddhism are Souka Gakkai - the quasi-political religious group that has significant political clout - and Zen Buddhism Shintou and Buddhism have a long and intertwined history in Japan, and it is only in the past hundred years or so that they have been separated Even today things can be confusing, as the design of Shintou shrines and Buddhist temples can look very much alike The key tip: If there's a torii (a large, two-legged arch) standing at the entrance of the grounds, it's a Shintou shrine; if not, it's a Buddhist temple A visit to a shrine first involves the visitor washing his hands and mouth at a pool in front of the shrine Then he will make an offering of money, ring the gong, bow twice, clap twice and bow twice more To an outsider's eyes, there are a few differences with regards to religion as it is practised in Japan The most obvious is that in Japan it is perfectly permissible - indeed, almost expected - that people can be both Buddhist and Shintoist at the same time Many Japanese, for example, will get married in a Shintou ceremony, but will have Buddhist rites at their funerals In fact, many Japanese seem to avoid people who appear overtly religious Occasionally you will meet a proselytiser of some religion on the street, but in general, people seem to think that that kind of behaviour is reserved for cult members People have strong memories of the cult that killed and injured so many people on the Tokyo underground system with toxic sarin gas in 1995, and find anyone who is not moderate in his religion a little unsettling Performing dispassionate, ritualistic acts is line, I suppose, but many Japanese cannot begin to fathom those who take strong moral stands So much of Japanese society is geared towards enjoying oneself that there seems to be no appetite left for considering intangible issues As one Japanese told me when I expressed an appreciation in the aesthetics of Zen, "I can't it It's just too hard." This attitude may go a long way in explaining why non-Japanese friends of mine who were so interested in Buddhism wound up criticising Japan as a religiously dead society Question 44: Shinto, the native religion of Japan, has A no set of formal religious beliefs B a lot of philosophy behind it C many indigenous followers D its origin from Buddhism Question 45: Souka Gakkai is a group of Buddists that A has great power and influence in Japanese politics B seperated from Buddhism in the 6th century C has a close connection with Zen Buddhism D consists of leading members of political parties in Japan Question 46: The word “prestige” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A level B status C reputation D rank Question 47: A visitor to a Shintou shrine has to A offer some money to the beggars in the shrine B ring the gong in the front of the shrine C wash his hands and mouth after performing some rites in the shrine D wash his hands and mouth before coming in the shrine Question 48: It can be inferred that a non-Japanese buddhist A will be surprised with the Buddhist rites at Japanese funerals B may find some differences in the way Japanese practise Buddhism C may find a Shintou wedding ceremony strange D has to become a Shintoist if he wants to settle in Japan Question 49: Japansese people may feel worried when they see A someone who is too moderate in his religion B a person who is extreme in his religion C a person who appears secretly religious D a proselytiser of some religion on the street Question 50: Today little people in Japan are interested in A considering intangible issues B taking strong moral stands C the aesthetics of Zen D enjoying themselves - THE END Trang 4/4 - Mã đề thi 422 ... are Souka Gakkai - the quasi-political religious group that has significant political clout - and Zen Buddhism Shintou and Buddhism have a long and intertwined history in Japan, and it is only... much of any philosophy behind it It basically allows followers a way of currying Trang 3/4 - Mã đề thi 422 favour with various gods so as to receive good luck Even today, many older Japanese will,... practised in Japan The most obvious is that in Japan it is perfectly permissible - indeed, almost expected - that people can be both Buddhist and Shintoist at the same time Many Japanese, for example,
