Humanitarian Dorothea Dix was born in Hampden, Maine, in 1802. At the age of 19, she established a school for girls, the Dix Mansion School, in Boston, but had to close it in 1835 due to her poor health. She wrote and published the first of many books for children in 1824. In 1841, Dix accepted an invitation to teach classes at a prison in East Cambridge, Massachusetts. She was deeply disturbed by the sight of mentally-ill persons thrown in the jail and treated like criminals. For the next eighteen months, she toured Massachusetts institutions where other mental patients were confined and reported the shocking conditions she found to the state legislature. When improvements followed in Massachusetts, she turned her attention to the neighboring states and then to the West and South. Dix’s work was interrupted by the Civil War; she served as superintendent of women hospital nurses for the federal government. Dix saw special hospitals for the mentally-ill built in some fifteen states. Although her plan to obtain public land for her cause failed, she aroused concern for the problem of mental illness all over the United States as well as in Canada and Europe. Dix’s success was due to her independent and thorough research, her gentle but persistent maner, and her ability to secure the help of powerful and wealthy supporters. 1, In what year was the Dix Mansion School closed ? a-1821 b- 1824 c-1835 d-1841 2, Why did Dorothea Dix first go to a prison? a-She taught classes there. b-She was sent there by the state legislature. c-She was convicted of a crime. d-She was doing research for a book. 3, Where was Dorothea Dix first able to bring about reforms in the treatment of the mentally ill? a-Canada b-Massachusetts c-The West and South d-Europe 4, Dorothea Dix was Not successful in her attempt to a-become superintendent of nurses. b-publish books for children. c-arouse concern for the mentally ill. d-obtain public lands. 5, At what point of the passage does the author discuss specific reasons for Dix’s success? a-line 7-8 b-line 9-10 line 11-12 line 14-15 Question 4: Choose the best form of the word ( a, b, c or d ). 1, Three firms are in…… for the same contract. a-compete b-competition c-competitor d-competing 2, He is completely……Not only is he lazy but he is also dishonest. a-unemployment b-unemployed c-employed d-employee 3,Going around the world in the hot-air balloon was a fantastic… a-achieve b-achieving c-achievement d-achieved 4, To sail single-handed across the ocean takes both skill and… a-determination b-determine c-determined d-determinative 5,They became… short of water so Jane had to make her way down the step path to the river with a bucket. a-danger b-dangerous c-endanger d-dangerously 6, My friend is a keen……… a-nature b-natural c-naturalist d-naturalize 7,Some areas in Vietnam are being………quickly. a-urban b-urbanization c-urbanize d-urbanized 8,…………has caused a lot of social problems. a-urban b-urbanization c-urbanize d-urbanized 9, The pond is so shallow that we have to………it. a-deep b-deeply c-depth d-deepen 10, Vietnam’s joining ASEAN will provide new opportunities for regional……… a-development b-developing c-develop d-developer Question 5:Choose the underlined word (a, b, c, d or e) pronounced differently from the rest. 1, a-height b-fine c-tidy d-cliff e-light 2, a-through b-themselves c-threaten d-thunder e-mathematics 3, a-shy b-physical c-fly d-sky e-cycle 4, a-cow b-how c-crowd d-know e-now 5, a-timber b-time c-mime d-climb e-timoneer Question 6:Choose the word whose main stress is placed differently from the others in each group. 1, a-simultaneous b-feedback c-different d-errors 2, a-arrangement b-distinguish c-theorist d-collective 3, a-optimism b-struggle c-congratulation d-talents 4, a-appropriate b-emotional c-pronounce d-situation 5, a-incessant b-hazard c-withstand d-exploitable Question 7:Choose the best answer a, b, c, or d to complete the following sentences. 1, Mathematics……….very interesting to me. a-are b-have been c-were d-is 2, Twenty dollars……… the price. a-are b-is c- being d-were 3, A number of graduates…… scholarships from this department. a-have received b-has received c-are received d-receives 4, Most of the rooms in the hotel…… air-conditioning. a-has b-having c-have d-are 5, A few…….the test. a-have failed b-has failed c-is failing d-failing Key 25 Question 1: (Ng B Trang I tr.203 ) 1-b 2-a 3-c 4-d 5-a 6-b 7-a 8-b 9-a 10-c Question 2: (Tuyen chon Tap 4 ) 1-a 2-b 3-b 4-c 5-c 6-a 7-c 8-a 9-b 10-c 11-b 12-a 13-a 14-c 15-c Question 3: ( TOEFL New ) 1-c 2-a 3-b 4-d 5-d Question 4: 1-b ( competition) 2-b (unemployed ) 3-c (achievement ) 4-a (determination ) 5-d (dangerously) 6-c ( naturalist ) 7- ( urbanized) 8-b (urbanization ) 9-d (deepen ) 10-a ( development ) Question 5: 1- d 2-b 3-b 4-d 5-a Question 6: 1-a 2- c 3- c 4- d 5-b 1, a-,simul’taneousb-‘feedback c-‘different d-‘errors er3 2, a-a’rrangement b-dis’tinguish c-‘theorist d-co’llective 3, a-‘optimism b-‘struggle c-con,gratu’lation d-‘talents 4, a-a’ppropriate b-e’motional c-pro’nounce d-,situ’ation 5, a-in’cessant b-‘hazard c-with’stand d-ex’ploitable Question 7: ( Nguyen B Trang I tr.104) 1- d 2-b 3- a 4- c 5- a .
