(ID: 109819) IV Read the passage and choose the best answer to the question about it

A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which provides information concerning how people think and act In the United States, the best-known surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll As anyone who watches the news during campaigns presidential knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States

North Americans are familiar with the many “person on the street” interviews on local television news shows While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate

indication of public opinion First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain

location Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the news people select Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel

intimidated by a camera A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to

genuinely reflect a broad range of the population

In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of

questions An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results Even questions

that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired

Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately

There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject‟s underlying feelings and reasons However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent

26 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The importance of polls in American political life

B Problems associated with interpreting surveys

C The history of surveys in North America

D The principles of conducting surveys

27 The word "they" in line 8 refers to

A interviews B opinions C North Americans D news shows

28 According to the passage, the main disadvantage of person-on-the-street interviews is that they

A are used only on television B are not carefully worded

C reflect political opinions D are not based on a representative sampling

29 The word "precise" in line 10 is closest in meaning to

30 According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important for an effective survey?

Trang 4

A A high number of respondents B A sociologist who is able to interpret the results

C Carefully worded questions D An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings

31 The word "exercise" in line 14 is closest in meaning to

32 The word "elicit" in line 17 is closest in meaning to

33 It can be inferred from the passage that one reason that sociologists may become frustrated with questionnaires is that

A respondents are too eager to supplement questions with their own opinions

B questionnaires are expensive and difficult to distribute

C respondents often do not complete and return questionnaires

D questionnaires are often difficult to read

34 According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over questionnaires is that live interviews
