and a very large proportion of the urban landscape is taken up by slogans, advertisements, flatly photographed images of folk heroes – the man who turned into a sophisticated dandy overnight by drinking a particular brand of drink, the girl who transformed herself into a femme fatale with a squirt of cheap scent The tone of the wording of these advertisements is usually pert and facetious, comically drowning in its own hyperbole But the pictures are brutally exact: they reproduce every detail of a style of life, down to the brand of cigarette-lighter, the stone in the ring and the economic row of books on the shelf Yet, if one studies a line of ads across from where one is sitting on a tube train, these images radically conflict with each other Swap the details about between the pictures, and they are instantly made illegible if the characters they represent really are heroes, then they clearly have no individual claim to speak for society as a whole The clean-cut and the shaggy, rakes, innocents, brutes, home-lovers, adventurers, clowns all compete for our attention and invite emulation As a gallery, they provide a glossy mirror of the aspirations of a representative city crowd: but it is exceedingly hard to discern a single dominant style an image of how most people would like to see themselves Even in the business of the mass-production of images of identity, this shift from the general to the diverse and particular is quite recent Consider another line of stills: the back-lit, soft-focus portraits of the first and second generations of great movie stars There is a degree of romantic unparticularity in the face of each one, as if they were communal dream-projections of society at large Only in the specialized genres of westerns, farces and gangster movies were stars allowed to have odd, knobby cadaverous faces The hero as loner belonged to history or the underworld: he spoke from the perimeter of society, reminding us of its dangerous edges The stars of the last decade have looked quite different Soft-focus photography has gone, to be replaced by a style which searches out warts and bumps, emphasizes the uniqueness not the generality of the face Voices, too, are strenuously idiosyncratic: whines, stammers and low rumbles are exploited as features of “star quality” Instead of romantic heroes and heroines, we had a brutalist, hard-edged style in which isolation and egotism are assumed as natural social conditions In the movies, as in the city, the sense of stable hierarchy has become increasingly exhausted; we no longer live in a world where we can all share the same values, the same heroes (It is doubtful whether this world, so beloved of nostalgia moralists ever existed; but lip-service was paid for it, the pretense, at least was kept up) The isolate and the eccentric push towards the centre of the stage; their fashions and mannerisms are presented as having as good a claim to the limelight and the future as those of anyone else In the crowd on the underground platform, one may observe a honeycomb of fully-worked-out worlds, each private, exclusive bearing little comparison with its nearest neighbor What is prized in one is despised in another There are no clear rules about how one is supposed to manage one’s body, dress, talk, or think Though there are elaborate protocols and etiquettes among particular cults and groups within the city, they subscribe to no common standard Hocmai.vn – Ngôi tr ng chung c a h c trò Vi t T ng đài t v n: 1900 58-58-12 - Trang | - thi, đáp án, h ng d n gi i đ thi th i h c tháng 6.2014 For the new arrival, this disordered abundance is the city’s most evident and alarming quality He feels as if he has parachuted into a funfair of contradictory imperatives There are so many people he might become and a suit of clothes, a maker of car, a brand of cigarettes will go some way towards turning him into a personage even before he has discovered who that personage is Personal identity had always been deeply rooted in property, but hitherto the relationship has been a simple one – a question of buying what you could afford, and leaving your wealth to announce your status In the modern city, there are so many things to buy, such a quantity of different kinds of status, that the choice and its attendant anxieties have created a new pornography of taste The leisure pages of the Sunday newspapers, fashion magazines, TV plays, popular novels, cookbooks, window displays all nag at the nerve of our uncertainty and snobbery Should we like American cars, hard-rock hamburger joints, Bauhaus chairs…? Literature and art are promoted as personal accessories: the paintings of Mondrian or the novels of Samuel Beckett “go” with certain styles like matching handbags There is in the city a creeping imperialism of taste, in which more and more commodities are made over to being mere expressions of personal identity Tire piece of furniture, the pair of shoes, the book, the film, are important not so much in themselves but for what they communicate about their owners; and ownership is stretched to include what one likes or believes in as well as what one can buy 36 What does the word “barraged” mean?

A Their tried to disguise the less attractive features of their subjects B Most people did not think they were accurate representation of the stars in them C They made people feel that their own faces were rather unattractive D They reflected an era in which people felt basically safe 40 What does the word “cadaverous” mean? A extremely pale and thin B energetic and enthusiastic C dangerous D skeptical 41 What does the writer suggest about the stars of the last decade? A Some of them may be uncomfortable about the way they come across B They make an effort to speak in a way that may not be pleasant on the ear C They make people wonder whether they should become movie selfish D Most people accept that they are not typical of society as a whole 42 What does the word “hierarchy” mean? A methodology B hypothesis C ideology D system 43 The writer uses the crowd on an underground platform to exemplify his belief that A no single attitude to life is more common than another in a city Hocmai.vn – Ngôi tr ng chung c a h c trò Vi t T ng đài t v n: 1900 58-58-12 - Trang | - thi, đáp án, h ng d n gi i đ thi th i h c tháng 6.2014 B no one in a city has strict attitudes towards the behavior of others C views of what society was like in the past are often inaccurate D people in cities would like to have more in common with each other 44 The writer implies that new arrivals in a city may A change the image they wish to have too frequently B underestimate the importance of wealth C acquire a certain image without understanding what that involves D decide that status is of little importance 45 What point does the writer make about city dwellers in the final paragraph?

English was first written down when Christian monks came to England in Anglo-Saxon (46) They used the 23 letters of Latin to write down the sounds of Anglo-Saxon (47) as they heard it However, English has a wider range of basic sounds (over 40) than Latin The alphabet was too small, and so combinations of letter were needed to (48) the different sounds Inevitably, there were inconsistencies in the way that letters were combined With the Norman invasion of England, the English language was put at risk English survived, but the spelling of many English words changed to follow French (49) , and many French words were (50) into the language The result was more irregularity When the printing press was invented in the fifteenth century, many early printers of English texts spoke other first languages They (51) little effort to respect English spelling Although one of the shortterm (52) of printing was to produce a number of variant spellings, in the long term it created fixed spellings People became used to seeing words spelt in the same way Rules were (53) , and dictionaries were put together which printers and writers could refer to However, spoken English was not fixed and continued to change slowly – just as it still does now Letters that were sounded in the AngloSaxon period, like the “k” in “knife”, now became (54) Also, the pronunciation of vowels then had little in common with how they sound now, but the way they are spelt hasn’t changed No (55) , then, that it is often difficult to see the link between sound and spelling 46 A times B centuries C ages D years 47 A chat B communication C speech D discussion 48 A explain B tell C perform D express 49 A guides B plans C patterns D types 50 A announced B found C started D introduced 51 A made B did C brought D put 52 A actions B effects C conclusions D meanings 53 A handed out B filled in C got across D drawn up 54 A dumb B quiet C speechless D silent 55 A idea B wonder C problem D mention Hocmai.vn – Ngôi tr ng chung c a h c trò Vi t T ng đài t v n: 1900 58-58-12 -
