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 45 to 54

Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the country’s

impressive population growth For every three Canadians in 1945, there were over five in 1966 In September 1966 Canada’s population passed the 20 million mark Most of his surging growth came

from natural increase The depression of the 1930’s and the war had held back marriages, and the catching-up process began after 1945 The baby boom continued through the decade of the 1950’s, producing a population increase of nearly fifteen percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956 This rate

of increase had been exceeded only once before settle Undoubtedly, the good economic conditions of

the 1950’s supported a growth in the population, but the expansion also derived from a trend toward

earlier marriages and an increase in the average size of families In 1957 the Canadian birth rate stood

at 28 per thousand, one of the highest in the world

After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline It continued falling until

in 1966 it stood at the lowest level in 25 years Partly this decline reflected the low level of births during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society Young

Trang 5

people were staying at school longer; more women were working; young married couples were buying automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size of families.It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution

Although the growth in Canada’s population had slowed down by 1966 (the increase in the first half of the 1960’s was only nine percent), another large population wave was coming over the horizon

It would be composed of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate prior to

1957

Question 45 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A Educational changes in Canadian society B Canada during the Second World War

C Population trends in postwar Canada D Standards of living in Canada

Question 46 According to the passage, when did Canada’s baby boom begin?

A In the decade after 1911 B After 1945

C During the depression of the 1930’s D In 1966

Question 47 The word “five” in line 2 refers to

Question 48 The word “surging” in line 3 is closest in meaning to

Question 49 The author suggests that in Canada during the 1950’s

A the urban population decreased rapidly B fewer people married

C economic conditions were poor D the birth rate was very high

Question 50 The word “trend” in line 8 is closest in meaning to

Question 51 The word “peak” in line 11 is closest in meaning to _

Question 52 When was the birth rate in Canada at its lowest postwar level?

Question 53 The author mentions all of the following as causes of declines in population growth after

1957 EXCEPT

A people being better educated B people getting married earlier

C better standards of living D couples buying houses

Question 54 It can be inferred from the passage that before the Industrial Revolution _

A families were larger B population statistics were unreliable

C the population grew steadily D economic conditions were bad

Ethology is concerned with the study of adaptive, or survival, value of behavior and its Evolutionary history Ethological theory began to be applied to research on children in the1960’s but has become even more influential today The origins of ethology can be traced to the work of Darwin

Its modern foundations were laid by two European zoologists, Konrad Lorenz and Niko Tinbergen Watching the behaviors diverse animal species in their natural habitats, Lorenz, and Tinbergen

observed behavior patterns that promote survival The most well-known of these is imprinting, the

early following behavior of certain baby birds that ensures that the young will stay close to their

mother and be fed and protected from danger Imprinting takes place during an early, restricted time period of development If the mother goose is not present during this time, but an object resembling

her in important features is, young goslings may imprint on it instead Observations of imprinting led

to major concept that has been applied in child development” the critical period It refers to a limited

times span during which the child is biologically prepared to acquire certain adaptive behaviors but

Trang 6

needs the support of suitably stimulating environment Many researchers have conducted studies to

find out whether complex cognitive and social behaviors must be learned during restricted time periods for example, if children are deprived of adequate food or physical and social stimulation during the early years of life, will their intelligence be permanently impaired? If language is not mastered during the preschool years, is the child’s capacity to acquire it reduced?

Inspired by observations of imprinting, in 1969 the British psychoanalyst John Bowlby applied

ethological theory to the understanding of the relationship between an infant and its parents He argued

that attachment behaviors of babies, such as smiling, babbling, grasping, and crying, are built-in social signals that encourage the parents to approach, care for, and interact with the baby By keeping a parent near, these behaviors help ensure that the baby will be fed, protected from danger, and provided with the stimulation and affection necessary for healthy growth The development of attachment in human infants is a lengthy process involving changes in psychological structures that lead to a deep

affectional tie between parent and baby

Question 55: What was Darwin’s contribution to ethology?

A Darwin was the first person to apply ethological theory to children

B Darwin’s work provided the basis for ethology

C Darwin was the professor who taught Lorenz and Tinbergen

D Darwin improved on the original principles of ethology

Question 56: The word “foundations” in line 4 is closest in meaning to

A institutions B inventions C discoveries D researches

Question 57: The word “ensures” in line 7 is closest in meaning to

Question 58: According to the passage, if a mother goose is not present during the time period when

imprinting takes place, which of the following will most likely occur?

A The mother will later imprint on the gosling

B The gosling may not find a mate when it matures

C The gosling will not imprint on any object

D The gosling may imprint on another object

Question 59: The word “He” in line 19 refers to

A an infant B a psychoanalyst C parent D a baby

Question 60: The word “acquire” in line 12 is closest in meaning to

Question 61: The author mentions all of the following as attachment behaviors of human infants

EXCEPT

Question 62: According to the passage, attachment behaviors of infants are intended to _

A prepare the infant to cope with separation

B provide the infant with a means of self-stimulation

C allow the infant to become imprinted on objects that resemble the parent

D get the physical, emotional and social needs of the infant met

Question 63: The phrase “affectional tie” in line 24 is closest in meaning to _

Question 64: It can be inferred from the passage that ethological theory assumes that

A failure to imprint has no influence on intelligence

B to learn about human behavior only human subjects should be studied

C there are similarities between animal and human behavior

D the notion of critical periods applies only to animals

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

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

Câu 45: What is the main purpose of the passage?

A To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten

B To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level

C To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes

D To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol

Câu 46: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?

A canola oil B minerals C cholesterol D vitamins

Trang 20

Câu 47: Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?

Câu 48: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?

A dietary changes in hens B decreased production

C concerns about cholesterol D increasing price

Câu 49: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?

Câu 50: The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?

Câu 51: What is the meaning of 'back up'?

Câu 52: What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results'?

A The results are inconclusive C The results are mingled together

B The results are blended D The results are a composite of things

Câu 53: According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types of eggs EXCEPT?

Câu 54: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?

A decreasing egg intake and fat intake B increasing egg intake and fat intake

C increasing egg intake but not fat intake D reducing egg intake but not fat intake

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

The goal of Internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is to give everyone on the planet access to information Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than 2.5 million articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject Unlike other

encyclopedias, however, Wikepedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people These writers are

not paid and their names are not published They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to share their knowledge

Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human

knowledge The word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means “a complete general education” Real

popularity for encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the publication of encyclopedias written for ordinary readers With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same amount of information could be put on a few computer discs Then with the Internet, it became possible

to create an online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsoft’s Encarta However, even Internet-based encyclopedias like Encarta were written by paid experts At first, Wikipedia, the

brainchild of Jimmy Wales, a businessman in Chicago, was not so different from these In 2001, he had

the idea for an Internet-based encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone Furthermore, that information would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time

But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write

the articles, and so he began by hiring experts He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a

long time to finish their work He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone would have access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online To do this, he used what is known as “Wiki” software (from the Hawaiian word for

“fast”), which allows users to create or alter content on web page The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can simply search for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles If you find an article that interests you – about your hometown, for example – you can correct it

or expand it This process goes on until no one is interested in making any more changes

Đọc đoạn văn và trả lời câu hỏi:

Long ago prehistoric man began to domesticate a number of wild plants and animals for his

own use This not only provided more abundant food but also allowed more people to live on a

smaller plot of ground We tend to forget that all of our present-day pets, livestock, and food plants were taken from the wild and developed into the forms we know today

As centuries passed and human cultures evolved and blossomed, humans began to organise

their knowledge of nature into the broad field of natural history One aspect of early natural history concerned the use of plants for drugs and medicine The early herbalists sometimes overworked their

imaginations in this respect For example, it was widely believed that a plant or part of a plant that resembles an internal organ would cure ailments of that organ, Thus, an extract made from a heart-

shaped leaf might be prescribed for a person suffering from heart problems

present knowledge of drugs and their uses

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 question below

We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching On the contrary, both their

knowledge and experience are enriched We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming

pupils It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates It can have a bad

effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the

bottom of the top grade!

Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability This is only one

aspect of their total personality We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full,

not just their academic ability We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that

mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning

In our classroom, we work in various ways The pupils often work in groups; this gives them the

opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills They also learn how to

cope with the personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and

evaluate, to communicate effectively The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers

Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes the work on individual tasks and assignments, they can

do this at their own speed They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate We

encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this

effectively An advanced pupil can do advanced works; it does not matter what age the child is We

expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this

goal

B Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities

C Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others

D Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning ability

Question 36: The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to _

A recommend pair work and group work classroom activities

B offer advice on the proper use of the school library

C argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class

D emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching

Question 37: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A Development of pupils as individuals is not the aim of group work

B Pupils cannot develop in the best way if they are streamed into classes of different intellectual

abilities

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

Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear around them

Within the first month of their lives, babies' responses to the sound of the human voice will be

different from their responses to other sorts of auditory stimuli They will stop crying when they hear a

person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle At first, the sounds that an infant

notices might be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends

of utterances By the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between

syllables pronounced with rising and falling inflections Very soon, these differences in adult stress

and intonation can influence babies' emotional states and behavior Long before they develop actual

language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is playful or angry, attempting to initiate or

Trang 37

Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating such cues One

researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six

languages, the mothers used simplified syntax, short utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed

certain sounds into baby talk Other investigators have noted that when mothers talk to babies who are

only a few months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their words They also

exaggerate their facial expressions, hold vowels longer, and emphasize certain words

More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is observation that

tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds In other words, babies enter

the world with the ability to make precisely those perceptual discriminations that are necessary if they

are to acquire aural language

Babies obviously derive pleasure from sound input, too: even as young as nine months they will listen

to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding For babies,

language is a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to prosaic meaning that it often is for adults

Question 52: Which of the following can be inferred about the findings described in paragraph 2?

A Babies ignore facial expressions in comprehending aural language

B Mothers from different cultures speak to their babies in similar ways

C Babies who are exposed to more than one language can speak earlier than babies exposed to a

single language

D The mothers observed by the researchers were consciously teaching their babies to speak

Question 53: According to the author, why do babies listen to songs and stories, even though they

cannot understand them?

A They can remember them easily B They focus on the meaning of their parents' word

Question 54: The passage mentions all of the followings as the ways adults modify their speech when

talking to babies EXCEPT

Question 55: The word "diverse" is closest in meaning to

Question 56: The word "They" refers to

A words B mothers C investigators D babies

Question 57: Why does the author mention "a bell and a rattle"?

A To contrast the reactions of babies to human and nonhuman sounds

B To give examples of typical toys that babies do not like

C To explain how babies distinguish between different nonhuman sounds

D To give examples of sounds that will cause a baby to cry

Question 58: What does the passage mainly discuss?

development

do this at their own speed They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively An advanced pupil can do advanced works; it does not matter what age the child is We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal
