A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young
people, and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kind of books A recent report, which examined in detail the reading habits of primary-school children showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read Girls, in general, read more, and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else books about their hobbies
These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers Apparently girls read more in general, but more fiction in particular You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction: magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women’s magazines Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies: motorcycles, heavy transport and to on
Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men It seems that the majority
of women still want love stories There has also been some analysis of what men actually read Apparently only 38 percent of men read anything, but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed stories of space or gunmen

A schools give more encouragement to girls than to boys
B girls are more interested in fiction than boys
C picture stories appeal more to girls than boys
D magazines appeal more to boys than girls
Question 43: According to the passage, _
A children generally don’t care what they should read
B far more boys than girls are interested in love stories
C teenage boys show a taste for magazines about their hobbies
D there are more opportunities for girls to buy magazines than for men
Question 44: It can be inferred from the passage that _.
A people have no definite reading tastes
B boys change their reading tastes more often than girls
C boys and girls form their reading habits by reading magazines
D people usually do not change their reading tastes when they grow up

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
Trang 5Until recently, humankind seemed to view the ocean as a source of infinite resources Its vast size and depth and unexplored frontiers made the ocean appear invulnerable to overexploitation The truth is that the populations of many species are decreasing at an unsustainable rate, and the number of species listed as endangered from marine life families such as whales, dolphins, manatees and dugongs, salmon, seabirds, sea turtles, and sharks to name a few, are on the rise The threats to marine species are difficult to perceive because marine animals are not as visible as animals on land But unfortunately, marine creatures are
equally, if not more, vulnerable to problems such as habitat destruction and
overexploitation Shallow water animals that breathe air, like turtles, manatees, dugongs, and whales are often hit by boats and caught in fishing gear Species such as turtles that lay their eggs on land often lose their nurseries due to coastal development Animals that have taken millions of years to evolve, that are invaluable to all ecosystems, have and continue to vanish
from places where they once flourished
Question 46: What is human’s perception of the ocean so far?

Question 48: Which of the followings is closest in meaning to “vulnerable”?
A Weak B Resistant C Energetic D Adaptive
Question 49: What is the reason for the difficulty in understanding threats to marine life?
A That technology is underdeveloped
B That humans can hardly see marine creatures
C That the rate of population decrease is unsustainable
D That there are too many types of marine creatures in the ocean
Question 50: What does “flourished” in the passage mean?
A Failed miserably B Spread all over
C Grew in a successful way D Changed into something unusual

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the
classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading”
undoubtedly meant reading aloud Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading
become commonplace
One should very wary, however, of amusing that silent reading came about simply because
reading aloud was a distraction to others Examinations of factors related to the historical
development of silent reading have revealed that it became the unusual mode of reading for
most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character
The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers
As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus
there was some reduction in the need of to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public
places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause
distraction to other readers Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable
arguments over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and
over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally
weakening
Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education However, whatever its virtues, the
old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for specialized readership on the other By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not possible, for the oral reader The social,
cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied
33 Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because…
A Few people could read to themselves
B There were few places available for private reading
C Silent reading had not been discovered
D People relied on reading for entertainment
34 The word “commonplace’ in the first paragraph mostly means
A Attracting attention C most referable
B For everybody’s use D wildly used
35 The development of silent reading during the last century indicated
A An increase in the number of books C a change in the status of literate
Trang 11B An increase in the average age of readers D a change in the nature of reading
36 It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialized reading
materials was an indication of _
A A decline of standards of literacy C a change in the status of literate people
B An increase in the average age of readersD a change in the nature of reading
37 The phrase “a specialized readership” in para 4 mostly means
A A status for readers specialized in mass media
B A limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge
C A requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge
D A reading volume for particular professionals
38 All the following may be the factors that affected the continuation of the old shared
literacy culture EXCEPT
A The inappropriate reading skills C the diversity of reading material
B The printed mass media D the specialized readership
39 Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A Reading aloud was more common in the past than it is today
B The decline of reading aloud was wholly due to its distracting effect
C The change in reading habits was partly due to the social, cultural and
technological changes
D Not all printed mass media was appropriate for reading aloud
40 The writer of this passage is attempting to
A Show how reading methods have improved
B Explain how reading habits have developed
C Change people’s attitudes to reading
D Encourage the growth of reading
