A Acting styles B Film plots C Styles of filmmaking D Filmmaking 100 years ago 47 With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree? A Realism and formalism are outdated terms B Most films are neither exclusively realistic nor formalistic C Realistic films are more popular than formalistic ones D Formalistic films are less artistic than realistic ones 48 The phrase “this distinction” in line refers to the difference between A formalists and realists B realism and reality C general and absolute D physical reality and raw materials 49 Whom does the author say is a primarily responsible for the style of a film? A The director B The actors C The producer D The camera operator 50 The word “shape” in line 10 is closest in meaning to A specify B form C understand D achieve 51 The word “preserve” in line 16 is closest in meaning to A encourage B maintain C reflect D attain 52 The word “They” in line 17 is closest in meaning to A films B realists C formalists D raw materials 53 How can one recognize the formalist style? A It uses familiar images B It is very impersonal C It obviously manipulates images D It mirrors the actual world 54 Which of the following terms is NOT used to describe realism in filmmaking? A Simple B Spontaneous C Self-effacing D Exaggerated 55 Which of the following films would most likely use a realist style? A A travel documentary B A science fiction film C A musical drama D An animated cartoon Write your answers (A, B, C or D) here: 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 II Read the following passage and choose the best answer to fill the gap (10 points) Recent research has (56) that a third of people in Britain have not met their (57) neighbours, and those who know each other (58) speak Neighbours gossiping over garden fences and in the street was a common (59) in the 1950s, says Dr Cark Chinn, an expert on local communities Now, however, longer hours spent wroking at the office, together with the Internet and satellite television, are eroding neighbourhood (60) “Poor neighbourhoods once had strong kindship, but now prosperity buys privacy,” said Chinn Professor John Cocke, a social scientist at Cambridge University, has analysed a large (61) of surveys He found that in America and Britain the amount of time spent in social activity is decreasing A third of people said they never spoke to their neighbours at (62) .Andrew Mayer, 25, a strategy consultant, rents a large apartment in West London, with two flatmates, who work in e-commerce “We have a family of teachers upstairs and lawyers below, but our contact comes via letters (63) to the communal facilities or complaints that we’ve not put out our bin bags properly,” said Mayer The (64) of communities have serious effects Concerned at the rise in burglaries and (65) of vandalism, the police have relaunched crime prevention schemes such as Neighbourhood Watch, calling on people who live in the same area to keep an eye on each others’ houses and report anything they see which is unusual 56 A exhibited B conducted C displayed D revealed 57 A side-on B next-door C close-up D nearside 58 A barely B roughly C nearly D virtually 59 A outlook B view C vision D sight 60 A ties B joins C strings D laces 61 A deal B amount C number D measure 62 A least B once C all D most 63 A concerning B regarding C applying D relating 64 A breakout B breakthrough C breakdown D breakaway 65 A acts B jobs C counts D works 56 61 Write your answers (A, B, C or D) here: 57 62 58 63 59 64 60 65 III Read the following passage and choose the best answer (20 points) People with an overpowering fear of something may not be able to consciously control the direction of their gaze when faced with a picture that provokes that fear Those with a fear of spiders, or arachnophobia, may not be able to avoid looking toward a spider in the grass, while those without the fear can To reach this finding, 26 college students – half of whom had arachnophobia – were outfitted with a device that tracks eye movements The participants were then shown a four-by-four grid of flowers on a computer screen, where a picture of a grey-brown spider and a greybrown mushroom each occupied one space on the grid In one trial, the students were asked to press the spacebar when they spotted a mushroom, but to ignore any spiders In a second, the students were asked to press the key when they saw the spider, but to avoid looking at mushrooms When instructed to ignore the spider and spot the mushroom, the students with areachnophobia could not avoid looking at the spider-causing them to notice the mushroom three-tenths of a second more slowly than the control grouup Additionally, when the students were asked to search for the spider, the arachnophobia students found the spider and pressed the space bar about three-tenths of a second more quickly than the non-phobic students These findings show that the attention processes of people with a powerful fear of spiders may be beyond their conscious control This suggests that treatments that focus on conscious thought processes may not work for such phobias Instead, therapists could focus on treatments such as systematic desensitization 66 What can we infer that the word phobia means? A a new type of spider B a fear of something C a scientific experiment D the name of a flower 67 What is the main idea of the passage? A People who are afraid of spiders don’t look at them B People with phobias can’t help looking at things they are afraid of C People with arachnophobia always look at spiders first D Phobias affect eyesight 68 Why was the device to track eye movement needed? A to make sure the students were looking at the computer screen B to move the spider’s location around C to verify where the students were looking D to make the students look only in one place 69 What was the function of the spacebar? A to give the students something to B to give the students place to rest their thumbs C to allow the students to put spaces between words D to determine the amount of time needed to find an item in the picture 70 Why were some of the students slow to press the space bar when instructed to look at the mushroom? A They continued to look at the spider B They couldn’t find the spacebar C They were looking for the on/off switch D They had trouble following instructions 71 What the results of the experiment tell us about people with phobias? A They should always avoid the object of their fear B They don’t have to try to change their thoughts C They can’t consciously choose how to react to the feared objects D all of the above 72 It can be inferred that “provokes” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A eases B treats C reminds D causes 73 It can be inferred that “spotted” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A ignored B feared C saw D instructed 74 The word “their” in paragraph refers to A findings B processes C spiders D none of the above 75 What is the purpose of the passage? A to prove that phobias are a myth B to help people with phobias C to relate research findings about phobias affecting eye control D to relate research findings about phobias controlling eyesight 66 71 Write your answers (A, B, C or D) here: 67 72 68 73 69 74 70 75 II PHẦN RIÊNG A DÀNH CHO GIÁO VIÊN DẠY LỚP CHUYÊN (60 points) I Use the right form of the word in brackets to complete the sentence (20 points) I’m deeply to him for his advice (DEBT) To me, at 14, the film stars I saw at my local cinema were creatures (GOD) I don’t have much money so I can afford only a in London (FLAT) Thomas broke the expensive vase (ACCIDENT) fish always live in lakes and rivers (WATER) It was never true that all the work was done by hand (WHOLE) That sentence is completely , it makes no sense at all (MEAN) Many have been built since the end of the war (MEMORY) , he survived the crash without injury (MIRACLE) 10 Although we were in danger, Ann seemed quite (CONCERN) Write your answers here: 10 II Finish each of the sentences in such a way that it means exactly the same as sentences printed before it (10 points) Under no circumstances should you call the police => The last He worked very hard but he was unable to make both ends meet => Hardworking We are all shocked by his reaction => His reaction came _ He didn’t hear the news until the next day =>It was not _ If he hadn’t contributed generously, we wouldn’t have continued our work => But _ III Write a new sentence as similar as possible in meaning to the original sentence, but using the word given This word must not be altered in any way (10 points) All the hostages were released yesterday by the kidnappers (LET) _ He is very likely to come (PROBABILITY) _ In the end, I felt I had been right to leave the club (REGRETS) _ An open fire can’t be compared to central heating (COMPARISON) _ From the education point of view, his childhood years had been well spent (TERMS) VI Writing: In about 180 -
