A You cannot escape the personality that you are genetically destined to have B People are becoming generally more neurotic than they used to be C Scientists still know very little about how our personalities are formed D Your personality changes throughout your life and you may be able to affect this process Trang 3/4 Question 40: The word ‘unsettling’ in paragraph is closest in meaning to A worrying B satisfactory C critical D interesting Question 41: As it is mentioned in the passage, the idea that our personality does not change much after the age of 30 is one which A psychologists have always doubted B most people find uncomfortable C is not supported by the results of research D has been undermined by advances in genetics Question 42: According to the study mentioned in paragraph 3, what is TRUE about the experience of getting divorced? A It tends to affect people differently depending on their age B It tends to affect men and women differently C It tends to have a bigger effect than genetics D It tends to make people generally more outgoing Question 43: The word ‘conscientious’ in paragraph is closest in meaning to A half-hearted B responsible C impatient D mean Question 44: According to paragraph 4, the effect of losing your job on your personality is A as profound as its effect on your well-being B the same as the effect of moving to New York C far bigger than on your well-being D less dramatic than moving house Question 45: The word ‘it’ in paragraph refers to A adulthood B extent C news D personality Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions from 46 to 48 Question 46: “I went out with my friends last night,” Daisy said A Daisy said that she had gone out with my friends the night before B Daisy said that she had gone out with her friends the previous night C Daisy said that I had gone out with her friends the night before D Daisy said that she would go out with her friend the following night Question 47: Jane is not as talkative as her sister A Jane’s sister is as talkative as Jane B Jane’s sister is more talkative than Jane C Jane’s sister is less talkative than Jane D Jane is more talkative than her sister Question 48: It’s possible that our train will not arrive at the station punctually A Our train will certainly arrive at the station punctually B Our train needn’t arrive at the station early C Our train may have arrived at the station late D Our train might not arrive at the station on time Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that best combines each pair of sentences in the following questions from 49 to 50 Question 49: You can go out with your friend Make sure you get home before p.m A You can go out with your friends unless you get home before p.m B You can go out with your friends provided that you get home before p.m C You can go out with your friends in case you get home before p.m D As long as you get home before p.m., you can’t go out with your friends Question 50: Sally was very brave She saved Jim from drowning A But for Sally’s bravery, Jim would have drowned B If Sally had not been so brave, Jim would not have drowned C If Sally were not so brave, Jim would drown D Had it not been for Sally’s bravery, Jim would drown - HẾT Trang 4/4 ... by plane at four locations Although Avery’s team had the benefit of modern technology, Avery thinks this did not make much difference “Your speed depends on the dogs and how rapidly you can get... of the following questions from 26 to 28 Question 26: The subjects that you will be studying in this course is listed in the syllabus A The B that C is D in Question 27: I wish he would listen... had four support groups and every 160 kilometres a group would leave food behind and turn back This meant the team decreased in size as he went north Avery’s team didn’t have the extra men, but
