Question : Read the passage below then pick out ONE best option ( A,B,C or D ) in each question : I left school at fifteen I was an academically bright lad who was urged by some of his teachers not to leave, but I wanted out, to see life, and I didn’t want to reach beyond the expectation of the friends who left school with me I worked for a year in a laundry, as a vanboy delivering dry cleaning On turning sixteen I applied to be, and eventually began working as, a trainee heating engineer with a medium-sized company in East Belfast The first months were boring The work was not demanding but I found the environment of the factory annoying I remember my first week I left the factory to meet up with a friend and I realized that I had forgotten to collect my wages My friend thought I was an idiot After many months working in the factory, I was sent off to college to study for my Certificate in Heating Engineering I found the classroom routine unpleasant and I remember feeling a sense of limitation Five years of this- to end up as a heating engineer and continue with that for the foreseeable future was not an exciting thought Although I had left school against the advice of my teachers I had, without telling anyone, tried to continue my studies in literature at evening classes It was a boring walk from one end of the city to another and to sit amongst adults was confusing I was the youngest in the class, so the companionship I knew at school was absent I put up with it for a short period It was too long a walk on cold winter’s nights and it was hard to concentrate on Shakespeare with wet shoes and soaking trousers So I carried on reading books and started writing poetry at home By chance, I won some prizes and literary awards in national competitions A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day She told me in the quiet of the corridor that I had won a national poetry award I stared at her in astonishment and disbelief She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said: ‘ No, I couldn’t that.’ Not that I had any real excuse I was just frightened She eventually persuadedme that I should it the following day Off I went to Shaws Bridge, on the outskirts of Belfast.They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I was forever after occupied with a fascination for words.I wondered what I should after this, and decided some weeks later that I could not stand the idea of spending the rest of my days dealing with pipes So one evening, I hesitatingly told my parents that I wanted to return to school.They were shocked and, I think, a little afraid but they did not try to persuade me not to They wanted to know if I was sure, if I knew what it meant and whether I was aware that if I gave up my training it would be very difficult to get a good job.But nothing could put me off, and they pursued the matter no further One reason why the writer left school at the age of fifteen was that he A thought he would get a good job B had no other choice C didn’t get on well with his teachers D didn’t want to be different from his friends What did the writer feel while he was training to be a heating engineer?

A The behaviour of the other students annoyed him B The studies were less interesting than he expected C He was out of place among the other students D He learned more when he studied at home What does “ it “in ‘ I put up with it for a short period.’ refer to ? A companionship B the walk C literature ĐỀ THI SƯU TẦM MÔN ANH VĂN D the evening class Why at first did the writer refuse to appear in the film? A He felt he didn’t deserve it B He was taken by surprise C He thought someone else should be in it D He wanted more time to think about it Why didn’t he go on with his poetry writing at home? A He was too busy with his studying at college B He couldn’t earn enough for his life C He didn’t want to spend all his life sitting at one place thinking and writing D His parents wanted him to return to the college How did the writer’s parents react to his decision to return to school? A They argued with him B They pointed out how it would affect his future C They told him he was making a mistake D They hid their real thoughts from him What would be the most suitable title for this extract? A A change of direction B Great expectations C An unlucky beginning D Pressures of fame Question : Fill in each numbered blank with ONE suitable word to complete the passage below: New drivers could be asked to play a sophisticated video game as part of their training and driving test, under proposals to be announced by transport ministers next week The Department of Transport has been considering a test devised by researchers which tests people’s “ hazard and perception…( )…”, that is how quickly they are aware of a dangerous situation and how quickly they react to it.This is a particular weak point of new and learner drivers Dr Frank McKenna, the psychologist heading the £200,000 research project, says: ‘…( ) people, despite popular belief and, particularly their own estimation of their driving, not have faster reaction times than older drivers Although they may be slightly quicker once they notice something dangerous, they are much…( )…at spotting a possible crisis Dr McKenna says that the video is a much better tool for training and testing than written questionnaires, which were an alternative suggestion put forward in a consultation paper by the department last August:”…( )…may be cheaper, though they are quite expensive to mark, but there is no relationship between being good at answering the questions and being good at avoiding accidents.” Rather than developing a…( )…programme involving high technology, Dr McKenna has concentrated on a scheme that could be carried out quickly and cheaply.” There will be no excuse for not implementing this test.” Drivers being assessed watch a ten-minute video and push a button as soon as they see a dangerous …( )….While some of the situations on the video were acted by the research team, several were not, including a dangerously wobbly cyclist who cuts across traffic to go along the white line in the middle of the road, and a woman stepping out into the traffic from a bus stop Dr McKenna is working on research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council on how drivers judge their own driving skills His preliminary work suggests that people usually think that their skills are above average which of course, is a nonsense statistically ĐỀ THI SƯU TẦM MÔN ANH VĂN Indeed, in one…( )…survey in the US not one person from a large sample thought their skills were below average He believes that one way of reducing road deaths is to get people to realize that they are not as good as they think He gets them to think of an accident they have…( )…and then to imagine the results This traing is successful at making drivers more careful and Dr McKenna hopes it may become a routine part of driver instruction Question : The article below is not complete and logical Eight

paragraph which you not need to use: ADMIRING THE SKILLS OF THE AMERICAN SKYWRITERS Skywriting isn’t quite a dying art, but you have to scan the American skies pretty carefully these days to find white smoke puffing out a message Skywriters have a skill that’s seen by nearly all, but no more than a dozen pilots in the USA regularly practise it With this information, gunners on the ground could more easily aim their fire at the enemy beneath the smoke In the mid-1920s a US company began the first advertising campaign in the sky, promoting cigarettes The plane flew over Philadelphia sending out a message in the air to the people below This is how skywriting began and it has continue to fascinate us The memory of that moment stayed with him when he followed in his father’s footsteps as a pilot and now, as head of the Aerial Sign Company in Hollywood, it comes back when he puts floating adverts up in the sky himself He says the pilots need to be highly skilled: Most skywriters work about two miles high Everything has to be square, otherwise it’s simply poor penmanship that everybody sees You have to know where your plane is at all times Together they try it out on the runway, taking half-steps at different corners and turning at angles to be followed in the sky later on Pepsi-Cola certainly agrees Fourteen years ago the soft drink company, searching for someone to carry on a tradition begun in the early 1930s, looked through some 3,000 applicants for a skywriter, and chose a 21-year-old woman pilot from Oregon She says that when you are two miles away from your audience, you forget how big an impression it makes on the people below Kids stop playing ball and traffic comes to a complete standstill You can’t actually see while she ‘s writing, of course But during the descent and on landing she can look back and see what she’s written ĐỀ THI SƯU TẦM MÔN ANH VĂN Children come up to Asbury- Oliver after her shows She says that they are really curious
