During the next 200 years, people from several European countries followed Columbus across the Atlantic Ocean to explore America and (55) up trading posts and colonies Native Americans suffered (56) from the influx of Europeans The transfer of land from Indian to European and later American hands (57) accomplished through treaties, wars, and coercion, with Indians constantly giving (58) as the newcomers moved west In the 19th century, the governments preferred solution to the Indian problem was to force tribes to inhabit specific plots of land called reservations Some tribes fought to keep from (59) land they had traditionally used In many cases the reservation land was (60) poor quality, and Indians came to depend on government assistance Poverty and joblessness among Native Americans still exist today (Extracted from InfoUSA CD Version) Question 51: A herds Question 52: A During Question 53: A adapt Question 54: A to Question 55: A bring Question 56: A deliberately Question 57: A were Question 58: A way Question 59: A breaking down Question 60: A in B flocks B When B adjust B like B make B marginally B have been B road B staying up B with C bunches C Not until C vary C for C go C greatly C was C signal C giving up C of D packs D Meanwhile D modify D with D set D vaguely D had been D direction D coming about D under Trang 4/7 - Mó thi 248 Read the following passage on commuting, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 61 to 70 Commuting is the practice of travelling a long distance to a town or city to work each day, and then travelling home again in the evening The word commuting comes from commutation ticket, a US rail ticket for repeated journeys, called a season ticket in Britain Regular travellers are called commuters The US has many commuters A few, mostly on the East Coast, commute by train or subway, but most depend on the car Some leave home very early to avoid the traffic jams, and sleep in their cars until their office opens Many people accept a long trip to work so that they can live in quiet bedroom communities away from the city, but another reason is white flight In the 1960s most cities began to desegregate their schools, so that there were no longer separate schools for white and black children Many white families did not want to send their children to desegregated schools, so they moved to the suburbs, which have their own schools, and where, for various reasons, few black people live Millions of people in Britain commute by car or train Some spend two or three hours a day travelling, so that they and their families can live in suburbia or in the countryside Cities are surrounded by commuter belts Part of the commuter belt around London is called the stockbroker belt because it contains houses where rich business people live Some places are becoming dormitory towns, because people sleep there but take little part in local activities Most commuters travel to and from work at the same time, causing the morning and evening rush hours, when buses and trains are crowded and there are traffic jams on the roads Commuters on trains rarely talk to each other and spend their journey reading, sleeping or using their mobile phones, though this is not popular with other passengers Increasing numbers of people now work at home some days of the week, linked to their offices by computer, a practice called telecommuting Cities in both Britain and the US are trying to reduce the number of cars coming into town each day Some companies encourage car pooling (called car sharing in Britain), an arrangement for people who live and work near each other to travel together Some US cities have a public service that helps such people to contact each other, and traffic lanes are reserved for car-pool vehicles But cars and petrol/gas are cheap in the US, and many people prefer to drive alone because it gives them more freedom In Britain many cities have park-and-ride schemes, car parks on the edge of the city from which buses take drivers into the centre (Extracted from Oxford Guide to British and American Culture, Oxford University Press, 2000) Question 61: Which of the following definitions of commuting would the author of this passage most probably agree with?
