Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a distant site and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published "The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn't telecommuting become more popular? Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager's responsibilities. It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office. Question 56: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuters EXCEPT_____ . A. the lack of interaction with a group B. the different system of supervision C. the fact that the work space is in the home D. the opportunities for advancement Question 57: How many American workers are involved in telecommuting? A. More than 8 million B. More than predicted in Business Week C. Fewer than estimated in USA Today D. Fewer than last year Question 58: It can be inferred from the passage that the author is _______. A. the manager of a group of telecommuters B. a reporter C. a telecommuter D. a statistician Question 59: The word "resistance" could best be replaced by_______. A. participation B. consideration C. opposition D. alteration Question 60: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage? A. A definition of telecommuting B. The advantages of telecommuting C. An overview of telecommuting D. The failure of telecommuting Code 423 Page 5 of 19 PART VII: 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 following questions from 61 to 70. Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high-quality protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called 'designer' eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans. Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body's production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level. Question 61: What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level. B. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol. C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten D. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes. Question 62: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases? A. minerals B. cholesterol C. canola oil D. vitamins Question 63: Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'? A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely D. a lot Question 64: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs? A. increasing price B. decreased production C. dietary changes in hens D. concerns about cholesterol Question 65: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol? A. 3/4 B. 2/3 C. 1/2 D. 1/3 Question 66: The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following? A. studied B. destroyed C. tested D. described Question 67: What is the meaning of 'back up'? A. reverse B. advance C. block D. support Question 68: What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'? A. The results are blended. B. The results are a composite of things. C. The results are inconclusive. D. The results are mingled together. Question 69: According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types of eggs EXCEPT? A. boiled B. poached C. scrambled D. fried Question 70: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol? A. reducing egg intake but not fat intake B. increasing egg intake and fat intake C. decreasing egg intake and fat intake D. increasing egg intake but not fat intake Code 423 Page 6 of 19 PART VIII: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the blanks 71 to 80.

Số báo danh: ……………………………………………… ĐỀ THI GỒM 80 CÂU; TỪ QUESTION 1 ĐẾN QUESTION 80 Mã đề thi: 423 Code 423 Page 7 of 19 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 from 1 to 10 A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker. The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance. A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance. When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may belie them. Here the participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are .usually discernible by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture. The motivation derived from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication. Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health. Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front. How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed. Question 1. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The function of the voice in performance C. The connection between voice and personality B. Communication styles D. The production of speech Question 2.
