States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of vary length There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system On the plus side, students who wish to complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any other quarters Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used effectively to serve the greatest number of students But there are several disadvantages as well Many faculty complain that eleven-week term is simply not enough for them to cover the material required by most college coursed Students also find it difficult to complete the assignments in such a short period of time In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some colleges and universities have instituted a three-term trimester system In fourteen weeks, faculty and students have more time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional term provides options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those students who wish to graduate early Question 24: Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

Probably a lot more than you did ten years ago With a few pieces of equipment, we can ‘talk’ to people in more and more ways, not (31) face-to-face and on the phone, but also via the Internet It is very important, therefore, for everyone to try and improve their communication skills Despite all the technological advances of (32) years, the art of good conversation is still at the heart of successful communication (33) it’s a good idea to remember the four golden rules of good communication Firstly, be as clear as you can Misunderstandings arise if we don’t say exactly what we mean Secondly, we have to work hard at listening Pay attention to what the other person is saying Thirdly, ask other people what they think, don’t only tell them what you think And finally show respect for people, give them time to say what they want, and (34) interest in what they say If you (35) these rules, you will be a good communicator Question 31 A yet Question 32 A close Question 33 A So Question 34 A get Question 35 A act B even B last B There B put B move C just C late C Such C show C go D still D recent D Or D be D follow 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 36 to 43 If we took a look at how people in Europe communicated just one hundred years ago, we would be very surprised to find out that English was hardly used outside the United Kingdom The language most commonly used between people of different nationalities, and particularly the aristocracy, was French In fact, French was the language of diplomacy, culture and education However, that is not the case nowadays English has replaced French as the international language of communication Today, there are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language There are many reasons why English has become the language of international communication Britain’s colonization of many parts of the world had something to with it, but it is mainly due to America’s rise to the position of major world power This helped spread popular American culture throughout the world bringing the language with it But is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? Language specialists seem to be divided over this issue There are those who claim that it is important to have a language that the people in our increasingly globalized world have in common According to others, English is associated with a particular culture and therefore promotes that culture at the expense of others Linguists have suggested “Êsperanto”, an artificially put-together language, as a solution to international communication problems but without success So English will continue being the world language until some other language, maybe Chinese, which is the most widelyspoken native language in the world, takes over as the world’s international language instead of English Question 36: According to the passage, a century ago A educated people throughout Europe spoke English B foreign travelers to England spoke only French C French was much more popular than English D only the French aristocracy could speak English Question 37: What is chiefly responsible for the growth in popularity of English?

A exacerbate, aggravate, intensify B obliterate, destroy, annihilate C allay, alleviate, reduce D absorb, intake, consume Question 25: Using the information in paragraph as a guide, it can be inferred that A cities with rooftop gardens are cooler than those without rooftop gardens B some plants are not suitable for growth in rooftop gardens C most people prefer parks to rooftop gardens D most people prefer life in the country over life in the city Question 26: Based on the information in paragraph 3, which of the following best describes the main difference between parks and rooftop gardens? A Parks are expensive to create while rooftop gardens are not B Parks are public while rooftop gardens are private C Parks absorb heat while rooftop gardens not D Parks require much space while rooftop gardens not Question 27: The author claims all of the following to be the benefits of rooftop gardens except A increased space for private relaxation B savings on heating and cooling costs C better food for city dwellers D improved air quality Question 28: According to the author, one advantage that rooftop gardens have over parks is that they A decrease the Urban Heat Island Effect B replenish the air with nourishing oxygen C not require the use of valuable urban land D are less expensive than traditional park spaces Question 29: The author’s tone in the passage is best described as A descriptive B passionate C informative D argumentative Question 30: It can be inferred from the passage that the author would most likely endorse a program that _ A permitted the construction of buildings in city park land provided they have rooftop gardens B extended discounts on plants to customers who use them to create rooftop gardens C offered free admission to schools willing to take their students on field trips to the city park D promised vacation getaways to cooler destinations for those trapped in the city at the peak of summer Read the following passage and mark the letter A,

from Oxford and then served in World War I After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949 This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection He claims that

A exacerbate, aggravate, intensify B obliterate, destroy, annihilate 178 https://tienganhthpt.com – Đề thi thử tiếng Anh 2018 – Thầy giáo Đỗ Bình C allay, alleviate, reduce D absorb, intake, consume Question 25: Using the information in paragraph as a guide, it can be inferred that A cities with rooftop gardens are cooler than those without rooftop gardens B some plants are not suitable for growth in rooftop gardens C most people prefer parks to rooftop gardens D most people prefer life in the country over life in the city Question 26: Based on the information in paragraph 3, which of the following best describes the main difference between parks and rooftop gardens? A Parks are expensive to create while rooftop gardens are not B Parks are public while rooftop gardens are private C Parks absorb heat while rooftop gardens not D Parks require much space while rooftop gardens not Question 27: The author claims all of the following to be the benefits of rooftop gardens except A increased space for private relaxation B savings on heating and cooling costs C better food for city dwellers D improved air quality Question 28: According to the author, one advantage that rooftop gardens have over parks is that they A decrease the Urban Heat Island Effect B

One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through his highly inventive trilogy, The Lord of the Rings Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education from Oxford and then served in World War I After the war, he became a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written in intervals from 1936 to 1949 This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and the outbreak of World War II By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection He claims that
