( ID: 97885 ) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 6 to 15

A fold culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is

homogeneous in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed

handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails Individualism is weakly developed in folk

cultures, as are social classes Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo-America is

the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving

devices of the industrial age In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies till serve as a local transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles

The Amish’s central religious concept of Demut, “humility”, clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order

By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and constantly changing Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists, leading to the establishment of many specialized professions Secular institutions, of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy prevails Because of these contrasts, “popular” may be viewed as clearly different from “folk”

The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner

In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh The important feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained Even though it is very funny, a good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose

Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years In wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of social matters In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in influencing people in Europe and the United States

Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write Such cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons The cartoons themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way

In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not depend chiefly on telling jokes Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons

This is not their primary aim In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters,

Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible among the people

Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge They offer a

Trang 4

very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular country in which they live Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France, America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture

Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to the East and not vice versa By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan,

Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East

and the West

Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries The vast increase in the popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius’s famous saying “One picture

is worth a thousand words.”

Question 35: Which of the following clearly characterizes Western cartoons?

Question 40: Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people in the world

B disseminating traditional practices in China and throughout the world

C illustrating the truth of Chinese great men’s famous sayings

D spreading the Chinese ideas and cultural values throughout the world

A Jokes and other kinds of humour in political and social matters

B The philosophies and sayings of ancient Chinese thinkers

C The illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China

D The stories and features of the lives of great men the world over

Question 44: According to the passage, which of the following is true?

When the word "endangered" is mentioned, people usually think of particular species, like the

panda or whooping crane However, we would like to encourage you to think about (55) _

in a broader context It is (56) _, the physical places where species live and interact with

global problem Indeed, (58) _ we are able to protect natural areas where endangered

species actually live, they have no future

Trang 6

Species become endangered for a wide (59) of reasons By analyzing and grouping many individual cases, however, we find the same broad causes (60) _ again and again They are Habitat Destruction, Exotic Species, and Overexploitation Among other factors threatening particular species are limited: distribution, disease, and pollution Limited distributions are often a consequence of other threats: populations confined to one or a few small areas because of habitat (61) _, for example, may be disastrously affected by random factors Diseases can have severe (62) _ on species lacking natural genetic protections against particular pathogens, like the rabies and canine distemper viruses that are currently devastating carnivore populations in East Africa Domestic animals are usually the reservoirs of these and other diseases affecting wild (63) _, showing once again that human activities lie at the root of most causes of endangerment Pollution has seriously done harm (64) _ number of terrestrial species, although species living in freshwater and marine ecosystems are also suffering

As you know, many animal species, however, are in danger of extinction to day The reason causing the decrease in the number of animals is mainly from human beings It is high time we must take some measures to protect endangered animals Firstly, we should educate people from the young age about the importance of wild animals in maintain the ecosystem and biodiversity Young people should be educated how to protect our environment in general and how to protect endangered animals in particular This should

be included in their curriculum at school Secondly, the governments all over the world should set up

Trang 10

national parks and wild-life preserves as many as possible Thanks to these places, animals will have a suitable habitat to survive and good conditions to grow and multiply There they can be kept in a natural and safe environment Last but not least, each nation must enforce stricter law with more serious punishment- capital punishment, for example- to prevent people from poaching rare and valuable animals

In general, each of us has the responsibility for protecting and saving endangered species before it is too late

2/ In the past several decades, the status of women has been greatly improved People’s concept also has changed dramatically The meaning of women's role is a part of function assumed in life Nowadays, women play an important part in modern society Many women are going into professions, such as medicine, law and engineering They comprise a large part of the workers in businesses and factories In addition, they are working up to important positions which used to be held mainly by men There are even some businesses which are run completely be women Clearly, women are making outstanding contributions to the progress of modern society This essay show that women had great change of their society role in the past several years and also this change have positive effects on women such as women can gain good education, have fair opportunity on job market, increase position at home In conclusion, women's role is becoming more and more prominent in the society Their functions cannot be active, they are and this will definitely make the world better

But all is not lost The (47) _ of a TV set may have encouraged a very lazy response from ( 48) _ in their own homes, but the (49) of those with ambitions to become performing artists themselves does not seem to have been at all diminished And live performances in public are still relatively popular, albeit with an older, more specialist audience

Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known

culture The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts

attention, as For example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit Coded to refer to speech, the

potential for communication is very great Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain

meaning in and of themselves A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently

Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship

with the receiver‟s cultural perceptions In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages

Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver As

a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based upon speech Radio, television, and the telephone are only a few

Question 50: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

Question 51: What does the author say about speech?

A It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors

B It is the most advanced form of communication

C It is necessary for communication to occur

D It is the only true form of communication

Question 52: According to the passage, what is a signal?

Trang 14

A A form of communication that interrupts the environment

B The most difficult form of communication to describe

C A form of communication which may be used across long distances

D The form of communication most related to cultural perception

Question 53: The phrase “ impinge upon” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

A prohibit B intrude C vary D improve

Question 54: The word “it” in paragraph refers to _

Question 55: The word “ potential” in paragraph 1 could be replaced by

A advanced B possibility C organization D signal

Question 56: The word “intricate” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by

A inefficient B complicated C historical D uncertain

Question 57: Applauding was cited as an example of

Question 58: Why were the telephone, radio, and television invented?

A Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols

B Because people wanted to communicate across long distances

C Because people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete

D Because people wanted new forms of communication

Question 59: It may be concluded from this passage that _

A only some cultures have signs, signals, and symbols

B signs, signals, symbols, and gestures are forms of communication

C symbols are very easy to define and interrupt

D waving and handshaking are not related to culture

In the mid – nineteenth century, the United States had tremendous natural resources that could be exploited in order to develop heavy industry Most of the raw materials that are valuable in the manufacture of machinery, transportation facilities, and consumer goods lay ready to be worked into wealth Iron, coal, and oil – the basic ingredients of industrial growth – were plentiful and needed only the application of technical expertise, organizational skill, and labor

One crucial development in this movement toward industrialization was the growth of the railroads The railway network expanded rapidly until the railroad map of the United States looked like a spider‟s web, with the steel filaments connecting all important sources of raw materials, their places of manufacture, and their centers of distribution The railroads contributed to the industrial growth not only

by connecting these major centers, but also by themselves consuming enormous amounts of fuel, iron,

and coal

Many factors influenced emerging modes of production For example, machine tools, the tools used to make goods, were steadily improved in the latter part of the nineteenth century – always with an eye to speedier production and lower unit costs The products of the factories were rapidly absorbed by the growing cities that sheltered the workers and the distributors The increased urban population was nourished by the increased farm production that, in turn, was made more productive by the use of the new farm machinery American agricultural production kept up with the urban demand and still had surpluses for sale to the industrial centers of Europe

The labor that ran the factories and built the railways was recruited in part from American farm

areas where people were being displaced by farm machinery, in part from Asia, and in part from Europe Europe now began to send tides of immigrants from eastern and southern Europe – most of whom were originally poor farmers but who settled in American industrial cities The money to finance this tremendous expansion of the American economy still came from European financiers for the most part, but the American were approaching the day when their expansion could be financed in their own “ money market”

Question 60: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The history of railroads in the United States

B The major United States industrial centers

Trang 15

C Factors that affected industrialization in the United States

D The role of agriculture in the nineteenth century

Question 61: The word “ themselves” in the paragraph 2 refers to _

A sources B centers C railroads D places

Question 62: According to the passage, all of the following were true of railroads in the United States in the nineteenth century EXCEPT that

A they connected important industrial cities

B they were necessary to the industrialization process

C they were expanded in a short time

D they used relatively small quantities of natural resources

Question 63: Which of the following in NOT true of United States farmers in the nineteenth century?

A They lost some jobs because of mechanization

B They were unable to produce sufficient food for urban areas

C They raised their productivity by using new machinery

D They sold food to European countries

Question 64: The word “ ran” in the paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _

A operated B hurried C constructed D owned

I Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks

The Planets of Jupiter

The largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 times greater than Earth’s, contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined It is thought to be a gaseous and fluid planet without

solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter might have attained internal temperatures as high

as the ignition point for nuclear reactions, and it would have flamed as a star in its own right Jupiter and the

other giant planets are of a low-density type quite distinct from the terrestrial planets: they are composed

predominantly of such substances as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane, unlike terrestrial planets Much of Jupiter’s interior might be in the form of liquid, metallic hydrogen, Normally, hydrogen is a gas, but under pressures of millions of kilograms per square centimeter, which exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might lock together to form a liquid with the properties of a metal Some scientists believe that the innermost core of Jupiter might be rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth

Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours As a result, its clouds, which are composed largely of frozen and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright bands that circle the planet at

different speeds in different latitudes Jupiter’s puzzling Great Red Spot changes size as it hovers in the

Southern Hemisphere Scientists speculate it might be a gigantic hurricane, which because of its large size (the Earth could easily fit inside it), lasts for hundreds of years

Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun Perhaps this is primeval heat or beat

generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet Another star like characteristic of Jupiter is its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of the Solar System, decrease in density with distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons farther away If Jupiter were about 70 times more massive, it would have become a star, Jupiter is the best-preserved sample of the early solar nebula, and with its satellites, might contain the most important clues about the origin of the Solar System

Sample:

There are many ways for a child to get knowledge and to become a good member of the society Lots of people used to think that school is the best way to educate children, but nowadays they have changed their mind In my opinion, parents are the best teachers because they are those who understand their children most, they are always beside their children, and parents usually try to be good examples for their children to follow First of all, nobody can understand the children better than the parents do They watch over their children from the early time, so they know what their son or daughter is thinking exactly, and what their characters or behaviors are Because of that, if the children make any mistakes, parents can more easily realize reasons and correct them on time After knowing what has been wrong with the children, parents then give useful advice to them It is the best way to teach and to explain what is right and what is wrong, what can be done and what cannot Thanks to their advice, the children can become more mature and stable Secondly, parents are always beside their children at any time In life, there will be moments that a person falls into difficulties or distress and it is parents who are always worried and take care of them, make them more optimistic about life Moreover, the children’s personality can be best formed when they spend more time with their parents Every action from their mother or father will have a deep impact on how the children see the world and build up their feelings Because of that, they can realize the responsibility for their own children later In conclusion, the best teachers for children are their parents, who have taught them from the first lesson to many things in life with

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

At 7 pm on a dark, cold November evening, thousands of people are making their way across a vast car park They're not here to see a film, or the ballet, or even the circus They are all here for what is, bizarrely, a global phenomenon: they are here to see Holiday on Ice Given that most people don‟t seem to be acquainted with anyone who's ever been, the show's statistics are extraordinary: nearly 300 million people have seen Holiday on Ice since it began in 1943; it is the most popular live entertainment in the world

But what does the production involve? And why are so many people prepared to spend their lives travelling round Europe in caravans in order to appear in it? It can't be glamorous, and it's undoubtedly hard work The backstage atmosphere is an odd mix of gym class and workplace A curtained-off section at the back of the arena is laughably referred to as the girls' dressing room, but is more accurately described as a corridor, with beige, cracked walls and cheap temporary tables set up along the length of it Each girl has a small area littered with pots of orange make-up, tubes of mascara and long false eyelashes

As a place to work, it must rank pretty low down the scale: the area round the ice-rink is grey and mucky with rows of dirty blue and brown plastic seating and red carpet tiles It's an unimpressive picture, but the show itself is an unquestionably vast, polished global enterprise: the lights come from a firm in Texas, the people who make the audio system are in California, but Montreal supplies the smoke effects; former British Olympic skater Robin Cousins is now creative director for the company and conducts a vast master class to make sure they're ready for the show's next performance

The next day, as the music blares out from the sound system, the case start to go through their

routines under Cousins' direction Cousins says, 'The aim is to make sure they're all still getting to exactly the right place on the ice at the right time - largely because the banks of lights in the ceiling are set to those places, and if the skaters are all half a metre out they'll be illuminating empty ice Our challenge, ' he continues, 'is to produce something they can sell in a number of countries at the same time My theory is that you take those things that people want to see and you give it to them, but not in the way they expect to see it You try to twist it And you have to find music that is challenging to the skaters, because they have to do it every night.'

It may be a job which he took to pay the rent, but you can‟t doubt his enthusiasm 'They only

place you'll see certain skating moves is an ice show,' he says, 'because you're not allowed to do them

in competition It's not in the rules So the ice show word has things to offer which the competitive world just doesn't Cousins knows what he's talking about because he skated for the show himself when he stopped competing - he was financially unable to retire He learnt the hard way that you can't put on an Olympic performance every night I'd be thinking, these people have paid their money, now

Trang 34

do your stuff, and I suddenly thought, "I really can't cope I'm not enjoying it".' The solution, he realized, was to give 75 per cent every night, rather than striving for the sort of twice-a-year excellence which won him medals

To be honest, for those of us whose only experience of ice-skating is watching top-class Olympic skaters, some of the movements can look a bit amateurish, but then, who are we to judge? Equally, it's impossible not to be swept up in the whole thing; well, you'd have to try pretty hard not to enjoy it

The women had primary responsibility for the fields They had to exercise considerable skill to produce the desired results, for their northern location meant fleeting growing seasons Winter often lingered; autumn could be ushered in by severe frost For good measure, during the spring and summer, drought, heat, hail, grasshoppers, and other frustrations might await the wary grower

Under such conditions, Mandan women had to grow maize capable of weathering adversity They began as early as it appeared feasible to do so in the spring, clearing the land, using fire to clear stubble from the fields and then planting From this point until the first green corn could be harvested, the crop required labor and vigilance

Harvesting proceeded in two stages In August the Mandans picked a smaller amount of the crop before it had matured fully This green corn was boiled, dried and shelled, with some of the maize

slated for immediate consumption and the rest stored in animal – skin bags Later in the fall, the

people picked the rest of the corn They saved the best of the harvest for seeds or for trade, with the remainder eaten right away or stored for alter use in underground reserves With appropriate banking

of the extra food, the Mandans protected themselves against the disaster of crop failure and

accompany hunger

The woman planted another staple, squash, about the first of June, and harvested it near the time of the green corn harvest After they picked it, they sliced it, dried it, and strung the slices before they

stored them Once again, they saved the seeds from the best of the year‟s crop The Mandans also
