The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City For a long time, it has

been a newspaper of record in the United State and one of the world’s great newspapers Its strength is in its editorial excellence; it has never been the largest newspaper in terms of circulation

The Times was established in 1851 as a penny paper whose editors wanted to report the

news in a restrained and objective fashion It enjoyed early success as its editors set a

pattern for the future by appealing to a cultured, intellectual readership instead of a mass audience However, in the late nineteenth century, it came into competition with more popular, colorful, if not lurid, newspapers in New York City Their publishers ran sensational stories, not because they were true, but because they sold newspapers Despite price increases, the time was losing £1,000 a week when Adolph Simon Ochs bought it in 1896.

Ochs built the Times into an internationally respected daily He hired Carr Van Anda as

editor Van Anda placed greater stress than ever on full reporting of the news of the day, and

Trang 6

his reporters maintained and emphasized existing good coverage of international news The

management of the paper decided to eliminate fiction from the paper, added a Sunday magazine section, and reduced the paper’s price back to a penny In April 1912, the paper

took many risks to report every aspect of the sinking of the Titanic This greatly enhanced its

prestige, and in its coverage of two world wars, the Times continued to enhance its

reputation for excellence in world news.

In 1971, the Times was given a copy of the so-called “Pentagon Papers,” a secret

government study of U.S involvement in the Vietnam war When it published the report, it became involved in several lawsuits The U.S Supreme Court found that the publication was protected by the freedom-of-the-press clause in the First Amendment of the U.S Constitution Later in the 1970s, the paper, under Adolph Ochs’s grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, introduced sweeping changes in the organization of the newspaper and its staff and brought out a national edition transmitted by satellite to regional printing plants.

Question 36: What is the main idea of the passage?

A The New York Times publishes the best fiction by American writers

B The New York Times became highly respected throughout the world

C The New York Times broadcasts its news to TV stations via satellite

D The New York Times lost its prestige after the Vietnam War

Question 37: Which phrase is closest in meaning to the word “restrained” in

paragraph 2?

A Put in prison B In handcuffs C Without education D With control

self-Question 38: What word or phrase does the word “his” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A Van Anda B Reporters C News of the day D International news

Question 39: Which word or phrase is closest in meaning to the word “enhanced”

A emphasized good coverage of international news

B added a Sunday magazine section

C increased the number of lurid stories, even if they were not true

D eliminated fiction from the paper

Question 41: The passage implies that the newspaper’s reputation

A decreased when it lowered its price to a penny

B grew because Adolph Ochs bought it in 1896

C increased because of its coverage of the Titanic’s sinking

D decreased because it could not compete with other New York papers

Question 42: According to the passage, the Times has a national edition that is……

A protected by the Supreme Court

B printed in the form of a Sunday magazine

C shipped by train and air transport daily

D transmitted by satellite to regional printing plants

once before settle Undoubtedly, the good economic condition 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 failing 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 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.

A Educational changes in Canadian society

B Canada during the Second World war.

Schools in the United States have not always had a large number of libraries As recently as 1958 about half of the public schools in the United States had no libraries at all The (31) of public school libraries increased dramatically when the federal government passed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, (32) provided funds for school districts to improve their education programs and facilities, including their libraries Nevertheless, many educators claim that since the legislation was passed federal spending

Trang 12

has not increased sufficiently to meet the rising cost of new library technologies such as computer databases and Internet access

Because the federal government provides only limited funds to schools, individual school districts rely on funds from local property taxes to meet the vast majority of public school expenses Therefore, the libraries public schools tend to reflect the (33) capabilities of the communities in which they are located Districts in wealthy suburbs often have fully staffed libraries with abundant resources, spacious facilities, and curricular and instructional support In (34) , school districts in many poor areas house their libraries in ordinary classrooms or in small rooms The libraries in such areas are generally staffed by volunteers, who organize and (35) books that are often out-of-date, irrelevant, or damaged

Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a hindrance, and may even cause harm These studies have disclosed that the judgments of interviewers differ markedly and bear little or no relationship to the adequacy of the job applicants Of the many reasons why this should be the case, three in particular stand out.

The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo effect If a person has one noticeable good trait, their other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are Thus, an individual who dresses smartly and shows self-confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job well regardless of his or her real ability.

Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect This error occurs when interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information Hence,

in an interview situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to confirm the impression given by the candidate in the first few moments Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated to the aptitude of the applicant.

The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers A suitable candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who appears exceptionally intelligent Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be judged as more suitable than he or she really is.

Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other selection procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability Of the various tests devised, the predictor which appears to do this most successfully is cognitive ability as measured by a variety of verbal and spatial tests

Question 36 The word “they” in line 6 refers to _.

characteristics

Question 37 The word “this” in line 20 refers to _.

A measure cognitive ability B devise personnel selection

Trang 13

B Inadequacy of interviewing job applicants.

C Effects of interviewing on job applicants

D Techniques that interviewers use for judging job applicants.

Question 39 This According to the passage, the hallo effect _.

A exemplifies how one good characteristic color perceptions

B takes effect only when a candidate is well –dressed

C stands out as the worst judgmental error

D helps the interviewer’s capability to judge real ability

Question 40 The word “hindrance” in line 2 is closest in meaning to _.

A assistance B encouragement C procedure D interference

Question 41 According to the passage the first impression _.

A can easily be altered B is unrelated to the interviewer’s

prejudices

C is the one that stays with the interviewer D has been repeatedly demonstrated to the applicant

Question 42 The author mentions all of the following reasons why interviewing is not an

accurate way to predict candidate suitability EXCEPT the _.

A primacy effect B halo effect C contrast effect D cognitive effect

Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering

in the natural environment surrounding their homes This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the oldest known subsistence strategy and has been practised for at least the last two million years It was, indeed, the only way to obtain food until rudimentary farming and

the domestication of wild animals were introduced about 10,000 years ago Because

hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have

dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and

arctic wastelands In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the

availability of plant life Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and

on fishing along the coasts and waterways The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies

Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors We know from the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp When the food in the area has become exhausted, the community moves on

to exploit another site We also notice seasonal migration patterns evolving for most

Trang 14

hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practised by mankind during the Paleolithic Period

Question 43: The word “domestication” in the first paragraph mostly means _.

A adapting animals to suit a new working environment

B hatching and raising new species of wild animals in the home

C teaching animals to do a particular job or activity in the home

D making wild animals get used to living with and working for humans

Question 44: According to the passage, subsistence societies depend mainly on _.

A hunter-gatherers’ tools B farming methods

C nature’s provision D agricultural products

Question 45: The word “marginal” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to “ _”.

disadvantaged

Question 46: In the lower latitudes of the tropics, hunter-gatherers _.

A can free themselves from hunting B have better food gathering from nature

C live along the coasts and waterways for fishing D harvest shorter seasonal crops

Question 47: According to the passage, studies of contemporary subsistence societies can

provide a _.

A further understanding of prehistoric times

B broader vision of prehistoric natural environments

C further understanding of modern subsistence societies

D deeper insight into the dry-land farming

Question 48: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?

A The environmental differences produce no effect on subsistence societies.

B Harvesting from the natural environment had existed long before farming was taken

up

C The number of hunter-gatherers decreases where farming is convenient

D Hunting or fishing develops where there are no or short growing seasons

Question 49: According to the author, most contemporary and prehistoric hunter-gatherers

share _

A some methods of production B some patterns of behavior

C some restricted daily rules D only the way of duty division

Question 50: Which of the following would serve as the best title of the passage?

A Evolution of Humans’ Farming Methods

B Hunter-gatherers and Subsistence Societies

C A Brief History of Subsistence Farming

D Hunter-gatherers: Always on the Move

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer

to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

Let children learn to judge their own work A child learning to talk does not learn by

being corrected all the time If corrected too much, he will stop talking He notices a thousand

times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s In the same way, children learn all the other things they learn to do without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them We do it all for him We act

as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher Let him do it himself Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.

If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book Let him correct his own papers Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exams, and marks Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

Trang 19

Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be

learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and

rapidly changing as ours Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer

to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering

data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence If the machine

can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a distant site and transmit the material to their employers A recent

survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters But

although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as

predicted when Business Week published "The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few

years ago Why hasn't telecommuting become more popular?

Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance on

the part of many managers These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for

managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager's responsibilities.

It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the opportunity Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office.

Question 43: With which of the following is the passage primarily concerned?

Trang 20

A A definition of telecommuting B The advantages of

telecommuting

C The failure of telecommuting D An overview of telecommuting

Question 44: How many Americans are involved in telecommuting?

A More than predicted in Business Week B More than 8 million.

C Fewer than estimated in USA Today D Fewer than last year

Question 45: The phrase “of no consequence” in paragraph 1 means _

A of no use B of no good C unimportant D irrelevant

Question 46: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting EXCEPT A the different system of supervision B the opportunities for advancement C the lack of interaction with a group D The work place is in the home Question 47: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to _ A systems B telecommuters C executives D responsibilities Question 48: The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees A need regular interaction with their families B are ignorant of telecommuting C feel that a work area in their home is away from the office D are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office Question 49: It can be inferred from the passage that the author is _ A a telecommuter B the manager C a statistician D a reporter Question 50: When Business Week published “The Portable Executive”, it implied that A systems for managing telecommuters were not effective B the trend for telecommuting was optimistic C there was resistance on the part of many managers about telecommuting D most telecommuters were satisfied with their work == THE END == SỐ CÂU ĐÚNG …./50 ĐIỂM: ………

In the mid-nineteenth century, the United States had tremendous natural resources that could be exploited in order to develop heavy industry Most of the raw materials that are valuable in the manufacture of machinery, transportation facilities, and consumer goods lay

ready to be worked into wealth Iron, coal, and oil ― the basic ingredients of industrial

growth ― were plentiful and needed only the application of technical expertise, organizational skill, and labor.One crucial development in this movement toward industrialization was the growth of the railroads The railway network expanded rapidly until the railroad map of the United States looked like a spider's web, with the steel filaments connecting all important sources of raw materials, their places of manufacture, and their centers of distribution.

The railroads contributed to the industrial growth not only by connecting these major

centers, but also by themselves consuming enormous amounts of fuel, iron, and coal Many

factors influenced emerging modes of production For example, machine tools, the tools used

to make goods, were steadily improved in the latter part of the nineteenth century ― always with an eye to speedier production and lower unit costs The products of the factories were rapidly absorbed by the growing cities that sheltered the workers and the distributors The increased urban population was nourished by the increased farm production that, in turn, was made more productive by the use of the new farm machinery American agricultural

Trang 26

production kept up with the urban demand and still had surpluses for sale to the industrial centers of Europe.

The labor that ran the factories and built the railways was recruited in part from American farm areas where people were being displaced by farm machinery, in part from Asia, and in part from Europe Europe now began to send tides of immigrants from eastern and southern Europe ― most of whom were originally poor farmers but who settled in American industrial cities The money to finance this tremendous expansion of the American economy still came from European financiers for the most part, but the Americans were approaching the day when their expansion could be financed in their own “money market”.

It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct What causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a change environment, it may perish The exact causes of a species’ death vary from situation

to situation Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to a species For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be adapt Food

resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problemsfor a species requiring these resources Other species may become better adapted to

an environment, resulting in competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species.

The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time - a mass extinction One of the best - known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225million years ago, when approximately 95 percent of all species died Mass extinctionscan be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened

by the close interrelationship of many species If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affection even organisms not living in the oceans Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction

One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250

million years have tended to be more intense every 26 million years The periodic extinction might be due to intersection of the earth’s orbit with a cloud of comets, but

Trang 32

this theory is purely speculative Some researchers have also speculated that

extinction may often be random That is, certain species may be eliminated and

others may survive for no particular reason A species’ survival may have nothing to

do with its ability or inability to adapt If so, some of revolutionary history may reflect

a sequence of essentially random events

A There has been only one mass extinction in Earth’s history

B Extinction of species has occurred from time to time throughout Earth’s history

C Extinctions on Earth have generally been massive

D Dinosaurs became extinct much earlier than scientists originally believed.

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 from

43 to 50

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an

education Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their

education to go to school The distinction between schooling and education implied

by this remark is important

Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling Education knows no bounds It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist Whereas schooling has a certain

predictability, education quite often produces surprises A chance conversation with a

stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions People are engaged in education from infancy on Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and

Trang 33

one that should be an integral part of one's entire life.

Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general

pattern varies little from one setting to the next Throughout a country, children arrive

at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on The slices of

reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of

the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the

subject being taught For example, high school students know that they are not

likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their

communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with There are

definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling

A The best school teach a wide variety of subjects

B Education and schooling are quite different experiences

C Students benefit from schools, which require long hours and homework

D The more years students go to school, the better their education is

Question 44: What does the author probably mean by using the expression

“children interrupt their education to go to school” (lines 2)?

A Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial

B School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year

C Summer school makes the school year too long

D All of life is an education

Question 45: The word “chance” in line 9 is closest in meaning to _.

A unplanned B unusual C lengthy D lively

Question 46: The word “they” in line 16 refers to .

A slices of reality B similar textbooks C boundaries

D seats

Question 47: The phrase “For example,” line 17, introduces a sentence that gives

examples of _

A similar textbooks B the results of schooling

C the workings of a government D the boundaries of classroom subjects

Question 48: The passage supports which of the following conclusions?

A Without formal education, people would remain ignorant

B Education systems need to be radically reformed

C Going to school is only part of how people become educated

D Education involves many years of professional training

Question 49: The passage is organized by _.

Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men Discrimination against women

in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had keptthe number of women entrepreneurs small Now, however, businesses owned bywomen account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely

to continue rising throughout the 1990s As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of theSmall Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade of womenentering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the womanentrepreneur" What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, asmore women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they

are finding obstacles Women are still excluded from most executive suites Charlotte

Taylor, a management consultant, had noted, "In the 1970s women believed if theygot an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board Now they've

found out that isn't going to happen, so they go out on their own"

In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics andclothing, for example But this is changing Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software business It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig,who was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering When Kurtzigfounded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep

tabs on their newspaper carriers-and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company's cash After she succeeded with the

newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer-science graduates todevelop additional programs When these were marketed and sold, ASK began togrow It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock

Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do

They still face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money;
