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
Even before the turn of the century, movies began to develop in two major directions: the realistic and the formalistic Realism and formalism are merely general, rather than absolute, terms When used to suggest a tendency toward either polarity, such labels can be helpful, but in the end they are still just labels Few films are exclusively formalist in style, and fewer yet are completely realist There is also an important difference between realism and reality, although this distinction is often forgotten Realism is a particular style, whereas
physical reality is the source of all the raw materials of film, both realistic and formalistic
Virtually all movie directors go to the photographable world for their subject matter, but
what they do with this material - how they shape and manipulate it - determines their
stylistic emphasis
Generally speaking, realistic films attempt to reproduce the surface of concrete reality with a minimum of distortion In photographing objects and events, the filmmaker tries to suggest the copiousness of life itself Both realist and formalist film directors must select (and hence emphasize) certain details from the chaotic sprawl of reality But the
element of selectivity in realistic films is less obvious Realists, in short, try to preserve the
illusion that their film world is unmanipulated, an objective mirror of the actual world
Formalists, on the other hand, make no such pretense They deliberately stylize and distort
their raw materials so that only the very naive would mistake a manipulated image of an object or event for the real thing
We rarely notice the style in a realistic movie; the artist tends to be self-effacing
Some filmmakers are more concerned with what is being shown than how it is manipulated
The camera is used conservatively It is essentially a recording mechanism that reproduces
the surface of tangible objects with as little commentary as possible A high premium is
placed on simplicity, spontaneity, and directness This is not to suggest that these movies lack artistry, however, for at its best the realistic cinema specializes in art that conceals art
Question 35 What does the passage mainly discuss?
C Styles of filmmaking D Filmmaking 100 years ago

agree?

Trang 5Read 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
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to
respond to them Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey
our intentions to others But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing
in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same "facial language" Studies by Ekman's group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so called display rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially negative ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their
feelings more openly Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some
degree, in people's behavior From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too Very young children pay close attention
to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on
people's faces This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and
interpret a basic set of human emotions Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures For example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions
Question 55 Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to _
A display their emotions openly B conceal their positive emotions
C control their emotions D change their behaviour
Question 56 The word “evolved” is closest in meaning to _
Question 57 The phrase “this evidence” refers to
A human facial expressions
B the fact that children can control their feelings
C a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions
D the fact that children are good at recognizing others' emotions
Question 58 Young children _
A make amazing progress in controlling their emotions
B take time to control their facial expressions
C are sensitive towards others' emotions
D spend a long time learning to read others' emotions
Question 59 According to the passage, we respond to others by _
A watching their actions B observing their looks
C observing their emotional expressions D looking at their faces
Question 60 The biggest difference lies in

Question 61 Smiles and frowns
A are universal expressions across cultures
B are not popular everywhere
C do not convey the same emotions in various cultures
D have different meanings in different cultures
Question 62 Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of
A investigators on universal emotional expressions
B researchers on universal language
C researchers who can speak and understand many languages
D lacked many main ingredients
Question 63 The phrase “themselves” refers to
