4 Đề số 3

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42

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 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

Question 36: What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their education to

go to school”?

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 37: The word “chance” is closest in meaning to

A unplanned B unusual C lengthy D lively

Question 38: The word “an integral” is closest in meaning to

A an equitable B a profitable C a pleasant D an essential

Question 39: The word “they” refers to

A slices of reality B similar textbooks

Question 40: From the passage, we can infer that a high school teacher

A is free to choose anything to teach B is bound to teach programmed subjects

C is not allowed to teach political issues D has to teach social issues to all classes

Question 41: The passage is organized by

A listing and discussing several educational problems

B contrasting the meanings of two related words

C narrating a story about excellent teacher

D giving examples of different kinds of schools

Question 42: The passage supports which of the following conclusions?

A Without formal education, people would remain ignorant

B Education systems need to be radically reformed

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50

In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh The important feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained Even though it is very funny, a good cartoon is always based

on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose

Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years In wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of social matters In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in influencing people in Europe and the United States

Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write Such cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons The cartoons themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way

In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not depend

chiefly on telling jokes Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons This is not their primary

aim In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters, Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible among the people

Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge They offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular country in which they live Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France, America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture

Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to the East and not vice versa By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East and the West

Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries The vast increase in the popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius’s famous saying “One picture is worth a thousand words.”

Question 43: Which of the following clearly characterizes Western cartoons?

A Seriousness, propaganda, and attractiveness

B Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness

C Humor, unexpectedness, and criticism

D Originality, freshness, and astonishment

Question 44: Chinese cartoons have been useful as an important means of

A amusing people all the time B educating ordinary people

C spreading Western ideas D political propaganda in wartime

Question 45: The major differences between Chinese cartoons and Western cartoons come from their

A purposes B values C nationalities D styles

Question 46: The pronoun “this” in paragraph 4 mostly refers to

A a propaganda campaign B a funny element

C a piece of art D an educational purpose

A An Excellent Way of Spreading Propaganda

B AVery Powerful Force in Influencing People
