The problem with noise is not only that it is unwanted, but also that it negatively affects human health and well-being Problems related to noise include hearing loss, stress, high blood pressure,

sleep loss, distraction and lost productivity, and a general reduction in the quality of life and

opportunities for tranquillity

We experience noise in a number of ways On some occasions, we can be both the cause and the victim of noise, such as when we are operating noisy appliances or equipment There are also

instances when we experience noise generated by others just as people experience second-hand

smoke While in both instances, noises are equally damaging, second-hand noise is more troubling

because it has negative impacts on us but is put into the environment by others, without our consent

The air into which second-hand noise is emitted and on which it travels is a “commons”, a public

good It belongs to no one person or group, but to everyone People, businesses, and organizations,

therefore, do not have unlimited rights to broadcast noise as they please, as if the effects of noise were limited only to their private property On the contrary, they have an obligation to use the commons in ways that are compatible with or do not detract from other uses

People, businesses, and organizations that disregard the obligation to not interfere with others'

use and enjoyment of the commons by producing noise pollution are, in many ways, acting like a bully in a school yard Although perhaps unknowingly, they nevertheless disregard the rights of others and claim for themselves rights that are not theirs

We have organized to raise awareness of noise pollution and help communities take back the commons from those acting like bullies Our efforts include building a library of resources and tools concerning noise pollution, establishing links to other groups that have similar collections,

establishing networks among local noise activists, assisting communities and activists who are

working to reduce noise pollution, and monitoring and advocating for stronger noise controls

Question 33: It is stated in the passage that all of the following are things the noise comes from

EXCEPT

C Road traffic, garbage trucks D Jet planes, watercraft

Question 34: It can be inferred from the passage that the effects of noise pollution on the human body

are that

A people get accustomed to ear and heart

diseases

B people focus mainly on hearing

C people have difficulty falling asleep D people are sensitive about everything around

them

Question 35: The word “negative” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to

Question 36: Which of the following is supposed to be way to reduce noise pollution?

A cooperation with other noise activists B fining people who break laws in noise

regulation

C construction of large projects along roads D prohibiting public transport during peak hours

Question 37: The word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to

A the air B a public good C effect of noise D second-hand noise

Question 38: It is mentioned in the passage that when we are operating noisy appliances or we

experience noise generated by others

A The noise is so troublesome if we make it or not

B We feel more comfortable if we don’t experience second-hand noise

C The noise have a strong influence on us, but not on others

D We just ignore the serious detriment if the noise is put into the environment by others

Question 39: In writer’s opinion, who are not only responsible for making noise but also under noise

pressure?

A Everyone using the applicants and equipment B Local noise activists breaking the law

C People, businesses, and organizations D The government introducing a new law

Question 40: The word “disregard” in paragraph 5 could be best replaced by which of the

following?

Question 41: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A Noise that is experienced by people who did not produce it is called second-hand noise

B People’s enjoyment of the commons by producing noise pollution is regarded as a bully

C Noise is one of the most common contaminants nowadays

D People intentionally make noise when they work

Question 42: Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in the passage?

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word(s) OPPOSITE in meaning

to the underlined word(s) in each of the following questions

WILL SUBSTITUTE HORN SAVE RHINO'S SKINS?

Last year thieves broke into a Scottish stately home and stole one thing: a rhino horn trophy, which at 1.5 metres was the longest in the world Meanwhile, in China, pharmaceuticals (45) have been building up collections of antqiue cups, bowls and figurines made from rhino horn, for the sole (46) of smashing them to powder to make the (47) _ ingredient of many of their medicines And in Zimbabwe, 34 poachers have so far died this year in (48) _ of the black rhino

‘It’s amazing the lengths people will go to to get rhino horn,’ said Lyster, of the World Wide Fund for Nature These lengths (49) _ why the rhino could be extinct within 10 years if trade in horns to the Far East is not stopped This week, conservationists are meeting in Switzerland to plan a campaign to persuade those countries where rhino horn is part of the traditional medicine to switch to substitutes such as water buffalo horn

The biggest threat to the survival of the rhinoceros is the refusal of four countries - China, Thailand, South Korea and Thaiwan - to enforce a ban (50) _ domestic trading in rhino horn Similar bans have worked well in Japan, Hong Kong and nearby Macau

Rhino is included in many patent remedies for disorders ranging from high fever to nosebleeds Horn is made (52) keratin, and has no proven medicinal powers ‘If you want the same effect you might as well chew your fingernails,’ said Esmond Bradley Martin, a world authority on rhino horn who has just returned from China Traditional substitutes, such as horn from bufffalo or saiga antelope, are (53) second best

China is the country where the consumers of rhino horn are the largest, many people are making medicines for both home consumption and export to other Far Eastern countries Martin found that many places have stocks of 10,000 kilograms of horns This represents 3,500 rhinos, or the entire population of African black rhinos These places use 650 kilograms a year Traditional medicines made outside the official factories could consume much more

‘This is a (an) (53) battle,’ said Lyster (54) the battle may be harder than that against the trade in ivory, for there is a difference between the two commodities, Ivory is a luxury; rhino horn, people believe, could save the life of their child

A Furthermore B Besides C Unless D Still

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 55 to 64

The weather phenomenon called El Nino was first recorded in the 1500s when fishermen in South America noticed that near Christmas some years the water was noticeably warmer than others They named this El Nino, or the infant, as it happened near the celebration of the birth of Christ Only in recent years has there been any serious investigations into the causes and results of El Nino The 1997 - 1998 El Nino was the first to be studied extensively Scientists from France, Japan, Korea and Taiwan combined the various readings they had from satellite and surface measurements of wind speeds and water temperatures to make the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean Array This combined information allowed them to see the overall patterns of an El Nino and helped them predict when one was starting

Weather pattern rely heavily on the operation of the “planetary heat engine” Essentially, this

means that because the sun is closest to the equator the seawater in that region is the warmest The warm water evaporates and forms clouds, which move toward the poles powered by their heat These atmospheric loops, which move heat from the tropics to the poles, are called “connective cells”

Without this process the equatorial regions would be hotter than they are and the north and south would be much colder

The wind in the central Pacific tends to blow from the east This pushes water from South

America towards Australia and Indonesia As a result, sea levels have been found to be up to 60

centimetres higher in the west The water that is pushed westward from the South American coast is replaced by colder water, which has a high nutrient level that consequently attracts fish This makes the waters off Peru and Ecuador good fishing grounds

An El Nino happens when the winds weaken and sea levels drop The warmer water moves east and less water evaporates to form clouds The results of this are twofold The warmer water in the east reduces the number of fish and the lack of rain causes droughts This can cause problems such as the forest fires that have plagued Indonesia and Australia in recent years Additionally, El Nino is thought

to be one of the causes of hurricanes that have devastated Central and North West America

As the population has increased the effects of changing weather have had a greater impact

People are living in places, often in areas more likely to be affected by adverse weather, than they

ever did before and in increased densities This means that natural disasters affect more people

Natural resources are being used closer to their limits, so small changes in their availability can cause disruption For example, in the past, South American fishermen could make a profit even during an

EL Nino, but modern industrial fishing needs larger fish stocks to be profitable

Knowing when an El Nino is developing allows people to make plans to lessen its negative effects The system of buoys and satellites monitoring the Pacific allows scientists to predict the start

of the 12 to 18 month El Nino cycle As a result people can prepare For example, in North East Brazil during the 1987 El Nino, farmers only got 15% of their normal grain harvest, but in 1992, when the government advised them to plant fast maturing plants, they got 82%

The question of whether El Nino has been strengthened by global warming is unanswered The National Centre for Atmospheric research believes that El Nino could be responsible for the increased temperatures in North America by changing the jet stream Global warming may not be the direct cause However, global warming may cause the local warming changes that cause El Nino and change atmospheric circulation The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration suggests that global warming may increase El Nino effects by increasing temperatures and increasing water evaporation over land leading to floods

El Nino is only one factor in the complex inter-relations that cause weather patterns, but it

appears to be a major factor By monitoring the phenomenon, we can limit its effects and avoid

disasters and droughts

Question 55: When does an El Nino occur?

A The wind in the Pacific blows from the east B The equatorial regions become hotter and

hotter

C The sun is closest to the equator D The winds weaken and sea levels drop

Question 56: The first extensive study of the El Nino phenomenon took place

A in 1992 B in 1500s C from 1997 to 1998 D during 1987

Question 57: The system used to track variations in weather conditions is called

C El Nino or the infant D Tropical Atmosphere Ocean Array

Question 58: Why is El Nino more noticeable now than in previous times?

A Industrial fishing

B There are small changes in natural resources

C People are now living in more dangerous areas than those of the past

D South American fishermen cannot make a profit during an El Nino

Question 59: What is the benefit of monitoring the weather in the Pacific?

A Provisions can be taken in advance against the El Nino

B The length of an El Nino is reduced by six months

C Farmers will harvest more grain

D Scientists can prevent El Ninos

Question 60: The word “Essentially” in paragraph 3 mostly means

A Consequently B Accordingly C Basically D Primarily

Question 61: In what way is there a definite link between El Nino and global warming?

A It increases Northern American temperatures by affecting the jet stream

B By inducing local warming changes

C Increasing rain and causing floods

D None of the above

Question 62: All of the following are the effects of El Nino EXCEPT

A There are plagues in Australia and Indonesia B There is a lack of rain

C There are more strong storms D Fewer fish for fishermen to catch

Question 63: The word “adverse” in paragraph 6 is opposite in meaning to

A unpropitious B favorable C disposable D commodious

Question 64: Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A It is possible for scientists to predict the time when an El Nino was starting

B If atmospheric loops don’t move heat from the tropics to the poles, the north and south would be much colder

C Global warming may directly cause El Nino and change atmospheric circulation

D The origin of the name El Nino is based on the time when it happened

- Experiencing new cultures

- Improving your job prospects

The year 1850 may be considered the beginning of a new epoch in America art, with respect to the development of watercolor painting In December of that year, a group of thirty artists gathered in the studio of John Falconer in New York City and drafted both a constitution and bylaws, establishing

The Society for the Promotion of Painting in Water Color In addition to securing an exhibition space

in the Library Society building in lower Manhattan, the society founded a small school for the

instruction of watercolor painting Periodic exhibitions of the members' paintings also included works

by noted English artists of the day, borrowed from embryonic private collections in the city The society's activities also included organized sketching excursions along the Hudson River Its major public exposure came in 1853, when the society presented works by its members in the "Industry of All Nations" section of the Crystal Palace Exposition in New York

The society did not prosper, however, and by the time of its annual meeting in 1854

membership had fallen to twenty-one The group gave up its quarters in the Library Society building

and returned to Falconer's studio, where it broke up amid dissension No further attempt to formally organize the growing numbers of watercolor painters in New York City was made for more than a decade During that decade, though, Henry Warren's Painting in Water Color was published in New

York City in 1856-the book was a considerable improvement over the only other manual of

instruction existing at the time, Elements of Graphic Art, by Archibald Roberson, published in 1802 and by the 1850's long out of print

In 1866 the National Academy of Design was host to an exhibition of watercolor painting in its elaborate neo-Venetian Gothic building on Twenty-Third Street in New York City The exhibit was sponsored by an independent group called The Artists Fund Society Within a few months of this event, forty-two prominent artists living in and near New York City founded The American Society of Painters in Water Colors

The observation of the skies has played a special part in the lives and cultures of peoples since

the earliest of times Evidence obtained from a site known as the Hole in the Rock, in Papago Park in

Phoenix, Arizona, indicates that it might have been used as an observatory by a prehistoric people known as the Hohokam

The physical attributes of the site allow its use as a natural calendar/clock The "hole" at Hole

in the Rock is formed by two large overhanging rocks coming together at a point, creating a shelter with an opening large enough for several persons to pass through The northeast-facing overhang has a smaller opening in its roof It is this smaller hole that produces the attributes that may have been used

as a calendar/clock

Because of its location in the shelter's roof, a beam of sunlight can pass through this second

hole and cast a spot onto the shelter's wall and floor This spot of light travels from west to east as the sun moves across the sky It also moves from north to south and back again as the Earth travels around

the Sun the west-to-east movement could have been used to establish a daily clock, much like a

sundial, while the north-to-south movement could have been used to establish a seasonal calendar

The spot first appears and starts down the surface of the wall of the shelter at different times of the morning depending on the time of the year The spot grows in size from its first appearance until

its maximum size is achieved roughly at midday It then continues its downward movement until it

reaches a point where it jumps to the floor of the shelter As the Sun continues to move to the west,

the spot continues to move across the shelter floor and down the butte, or hill, toward a group of small boulders If a person is seated on a certain one of these rocks as the spot reaches it, the Sun can be viewed through the calendar hole This occurs at different times in the afternoon depending on the time of year

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

American humor and American popular heroes were born together The first popular heroes of the new nation were comic heroes, and the first popular humor of the new nation was the antics of its hero-clowns

The heroic and the comic were combined in novel American proportions in popular literature The heroic themes are obvious enough and not much different from those in the legends of other times and places: Achilles, Beowulf, Siegfried, Roland, and King Arthur The American Davy Crockett legends repeat the familiar pattern of the old world heroic story: the pre-eminence of a mighty hero whose fame in myth has a tenuous basis in fact; the remarkable birth and precocious strength of the hero;

single combats in which he distinguished himself against antagonists, both man and beast; vows and

boasts; pride of the hero in his weapons, his dog, and his woman

Davy Crockett conquered man and beast with a swaggering nonchalance He overcame animals by force of body and will He killed four wolves at the age of six He hugged a bear to death; he killed a

rattlesnake with his teeth He mastered the forces of nature Crockett’s most famous natural exploit

was saving the earth on the coldest day in history First, he climbed a mountain to determine the trouble Then he rescued all creation by squeezing bear-grease on the earth’s frozen axis and over the sun’s icy face He whistled, “Push along, keep moving!” The earth gave a grunt and began moving

Neither the fearlessness nor the bold huntsman’s prowess was peculiarly American Far more

distinctive was the comic quality, all heroes are heroic; few are also clowns What made the American popular hero heroic also made him comic “May be”, said Crockett, “you’ll laugh at me and not at my book” The ambiguity of American life and the vagueness which laid the continent open to adventure, which made the land a rich storehouse of the unexpected, which kept vocabulary ungoverned and the

language fluid this same ambiguity suffused both the Crockett legends were never quite certain

ridiculous

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

The technology of the North American colonies did not differ strikingly from that of Europe, but in

one respect, the colonists enjoyed a great advantage Especially by comparison with Britain,

Americans had a wonderfully plentiful supply of wood

The first colonists did not, as many people imagine, find an entire continent covered by a climax forest Even along the Atlantic seaboard, the forest was broken at many points Nevertheless, all sorts

of fine trees abounded, and through the early colonial period, those who pushed westward encountered new forests By the end of the colonial era, the price of wood had risen slightly in eastern cities, but

wood was still extremely abundant

The availability of wood brought advantages that have seldom been appreciated Wood was a

foundation of the economy Houses and all manner of buildings were made of wood to a degree

unknown in Britain Secondly, wood was used as fuel for heating and cooking Thirdly, it was used as the source of important industrial compounds, such as potash, an industrial alkali; charcoal, a

component of gunpowder; and tannic acid, used for tanning leather

The supply of wood conferred advantages but had some negative aspects as well Iron at that time was produced by heating iron ore with charcoal Because Britain was so stripped of trees, she was unable

to exploit her rich iron mines But the American colonies had both iron ore and wood; iron production was encouraged and became successful However, when Britain developed coke smelting, the

Colonies did not follow suit because they had plenty of wood and besides, charcoal iron was stronger

than coke iron Coke smelting led to technologic innovations and was linked to the emergence of the Industrial Revolution In the early nineteenth century, the former colonies lagged behind Britain in industrial development because their supply of wood led them to cling to charcoal iron

Question 48: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The advantages of using wood in the colonies

B The effects of an abundance of wood on the colonies

C The roots of the Industrial Revolution

D The difference between charcoal iron and coke iron

during the colonial period?

A They contained only a few types of trees

B They existed only along the Atlantic seaboard

C They had little or no economic value

D They covered the entire continent

Question 51: The word “abundant” in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to _

A redundant B sufficient C insufficient D plentiful

Question 52: According to the passage, by the end of the colonial period, the price of wood in Eastern

cities

A rose quickly because wood was becoming so scarce

B was much higher than it was in Britain

C was slightly higher than in previous years

D decreased rapidly because of lower demand for wood

Question 53: What can be inferred about houses in Britain during the period written about in the

passage?

A They were more expensive than American houses

B They were generally built with imported materials

C They were typically smaller than homes in North America

D They were usually built from materials other than wood

Question 54: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source of industrial compounds?

A potash B charcoal C gunpowder D tannic acid

Question 55: Why does the author mention gunpowder in paragraph 3?

A To illustrate the negative aspects of some industrial processes

B To remind readers that the colonial era ended in warfare

C To give an example of a product made with wood compounds

D To suggest that wood was not the only important product of the colonies

Question 56: The phrase follow suit in paragraph 4 means

A do the same thing B make an attempt

C have the opportunity D take a risk

Question 57: According to the passage, why was the use of coke smelting advantageous?

A It led to advances in technology

B It was less expensive than wood smelting

C It produced a stronger type of iron than wood smelting

D It stimulated the demand for wood

ĐÁP ÁN & LỜI GIẢI CHI TIẾT

Thông tin ở đoạn 1 và một số câu đầu tiên của đoạn 2: “American humor and American popular

heroes were born together The first popular heroes of the new nation were comic heroes, and the first popular humor of the new nation was the antics of its hero-clowns

The heroic and the comic were combined in novel American proportions in popular literature The heroic themes are obvious enough and not much different from those in the legends of other times and places:…”

Thông tin ở những câu cuối đoạn 2: “the pre-eminence of a mighty hero whose fame in myth has

a tenuous basis in fact; the remarkable birth and precocious strength of the hero; single combats in which he distinguished himself against antagonists, both man and beast; vows and boasts; pride of the hero in his weapons, his dog, and his woman.”

Chỉ có phần C Fluid use of language là không được nhắc đến

Câu 11: C

Thông tin ở đoạn 3: “Crockett’s most famous natural exploit was saving the earth on the coldest day

Thông tin ở đoạn 4: “The ambiguity of American life and the vagueness which laid the continent open

to adventure, which made the land a rich storehouse of the unexpected…”

“a little”: một ít (dùng với danh từ không đếm được)

“a little” và “little” đều có nghĩa là ít, nhưng “little” mang nghĩa rất ít, dường như không đủ

“A good sense of achievement”: Một cảm giác/ý thức về sự thành tựu

“sense” có nghĩa là khả năng nhận thức ý thức, cũng có nghĩa khác là lý do mục đích (của việc làm gì)

Câu 27: B

“improve”: cải thiện, tiến bộ

“experience”: trải nghiệm, có kinh nghiệm

“carry out”: tiến hành

“neither” có nghĩa là cũng nhưng dùng trong câu bị động, khi dùng neither không có not (neither bản thân nó đã là phủ định rồi)

“furniture” là danh từ không đếm được nên đáp án C và D là sai

“so expensive furniture” không đúng, vì thế đáp án là B

Câu 42: D

Vị trí đúng của tính từ:

Mạo từ (a,an,the) + Opinion (funny) + Size (wide) + Color (yellow) + Material (silk) + noun (tie)

Câu 43: A

Đây là một loại gerund – động danh từ, tức là lấy động từ làm chủ ngữ, đơn giản bằng cách thêm –ing

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question

As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have

become increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks High-fat diets and "life in the fast lane" have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of

heart failure But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly longer and quite surprising

Heart failure, for example, appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns A higher

percentage of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on

Monday than on any other day of the week In addition, people are more susceptible to heart attacks

in the first few hours after waking Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon in the

mid-1980, and have since discovered a number of possible causes An early-morning rise in blood

pressure, heart rate, and concentration of heart stimulating hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M and 10:00 A.M

In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors

Statistics reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the few days immediately preceding and following their birthdays And unmarried men are more at risk for heart attacks than their married counterparts Though stress is thought to be linked in some way to all

of the aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why and how heart failure is triggered

Question 45: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A seasonal and temporal patterns of heart attacks B cardiology in the 1980s

C risk factors in heart attacks D diet and stress as factors in heart attacks Question 46: In line 2, the word "potential" could best be re-placed by which of the following?

A possible B harmful C unknown D primary

Question 47: The word "trigger" as used in line 2 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

Question 48: Which of the following could best replace the word "incidence" as used in line 3?

A factor B rate C chance D increase

Question 49: The author uses the word "temporal" in line 6 to mean

A of a certain date B regularly C affected by D expected

Question 50: The phrase "susceptible to" in line 8 could best be replaced by

A affected by B prone to C aware of D accustomed

Question 51: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a possible cause of many heart

attacks?

A decreased blood flow to the heart B increased blood pressure

C increase in hormones D lower heart rate

Question 52: The word "phenomenon" in line 9 refers to which of the following?

Question 53: Which of the following is NOT cited as a possible risk factor?

A having a birthday B being under stress C getting married D eating fatty foods Question 54: Which of the following does the passage infer?

A We have not identified many risk factors associated with heart attacks

B We now fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks

C We do not fully understand how risk factors trigger heart attacks

D We recently began to study how risk factors trigger heart attacks

Read the following passage carefully and then choose the best answer to each question

In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of

culture, such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals Although they are important,

these visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only

the tip of the iceberg of culture Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside

awareness Thus, neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain “invisible”

aspects of their culture exist

Invisible elements of culture are important to us For example, how long we can be late before being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention through listening behavior, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without being aware of it When we meet other people whose invisible cultural

assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behaviour

wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we

would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours Yet when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other

obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us As a result, mutual misunderstanding may arise

Question 55: What is the main purpose of the passage?

A To describe cultural diversity

B To point out that much of culture is learned consciously

C To explain why cross-cultural conflict occurs

D To explain the importance of invisible aspects of culture

Question 56: The word “rituals” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

A cultures B formalities C assumptions D aspects

Question 57: The phrase “the tip of the iceberg” in paragraph 1 means that _

A visible aspects of culture are learned in formal institutions

B most aspects of culture cannot be seen

C other cultures seem cold to us

D we usually focus on the highest forms of culture

Question 58: Which of the following was NOT mentioned as an example of invisible culture?

A What topics to avoid in conversation

B How late is considered impolite

C What food to eat in a courthouse

D How people express interest in what others are saying

Question 59: The word “those” in paragraph 2 refers to

A people who speak a different language B people from a different culture

C topics that should be avoided in conversation D invisible cultural assumptions

Question 60: It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that conflict results when _

A people think cultural differences are personal

B people compete with those from other cultures

C one culture is more invisible than another culture

D some people recognize more cultural differences than others

Question 61: The author implies that institutions such as schools and workplaces

A are aware of cultural differences

B teach their employees about cultural differences

C share a common culture

D reinforce invisible cultural differences

Question 62: Which of the following would most likely result in misunderstanding?

A Unusual food being cooked by foreign visitors

B Strange behaviour from someone speaking a foreign language

C Strange behaviour from someone speaking our language

D Learning about our own culture in school

Question 63: The word “exotic” in paragraph 4 could best be replaced by

A foreign B informal C formal D expensive

Question 64: The following sentence can be added to paragraph 2 of the passage Rather, we see them

as rude or uncooperative, and we may apply labels to them, such as “passive aggressive.” Where

would it best fit in the paragraph? Choose A, B, C or D

A ……Invisible elements of culture are important to us

B …… When we meet other people whose invisible cultural assumptions differ from those we have

learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behaviour as cultural in origin

C …………

D …… For example, how long we can be late before being impolite, what topics we should avoid in

a conversation, how we show interest or attention through listening behaviour, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without being aware of it
