How men first learnt to (31) words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery All we really know is that men, unlike animals, (32) invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed (33) certain signs, called letters, which could

be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down These sounds, whetherspoken or written in letters, are called words

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words that (34) powerfully to our minds and emotions This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style Above all, the real poet is a master of words He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can (35) men to tears We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar

THE DIGITAL DIVIDE

Information technology is influencing the way many of us live and work today We use the Internet to look and apply for jobs, shop, conduct research, make airline reservations, and explore areas of interest We use e-mail and the Internet to communicate instantaneously with friends and business associates around the world Computers are commonplace in homes and the workplace

Although the number of Internet users is growing exponentially each year, most of the world’s population does not have access to computers or the Internet Only 6 percent of the

population in developing countries are connected to telephones Although more than 94 percent of U.S households have a telephone, only 42 percent have personal computers at home and 26 percent have Internet access The lack of what most of us would consider a basic communications necessity –the telephone –does not occur just in developing nations On some Native American reservations only 60 percent of the residents have a telephone The move to wireless connections may eliminate the need for telephone lines, but it does not remove the barrier to equipment costs

Who has Internet access? Fifty percent of the children in urban households with an income over $75,000 have Internet access, compared with 2 percent of the children in low-income, rural households Nearly half of college-educated people have Internet access, compared to 6 percent of those with only some high school education Forty percent of households with two parents have access; 15 percent of female, single-parent households do Thirty percent of white households, 11 percent of black households, and 13 percent of Hispanic households have access Teens and children are the two fastest-growing segments of Internet users The digital divide between the populations who have access to the Internet and information technology tools is based on income, race, education, household type, and geographic location Only 16 percent of the rural poor, rural and central city minorities, young householders, and single parent female households are connected

Another problem that exacerbates these disparities is that African-Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans hold few of the jobs in information technology Women hold about 20 percent of these jobs and are receiving fewer than 30 percent of the computer science degrees The result is that women and members of the most oppressed ethnic groups are not eligible for the jobs with the highest salaries at graduation Baccalaureate candidates with degrees in computer science were offered the highest salaries of all new college graduates in 1998 at $44,949

Do similar disparities exist in schools? More than 90 percent of all schools in the country are wired with at least one Internet connection The number of classrooms with Internet connections differs by the income level of students Using the percentage of students who are eligible for free lunches at a school to determine income level, we see that nearly twice as many of the schools with

more affluent students have wired classrooms as those with high concentrations of low-income

students

Access to computers and the Internet will be important in reducing disparities between groups It will require greater equality across diverse groups whose members develop knowledge and skills in computer and information technologies If computers and the Internet are to be used

to promote equality, they will have to become accessible to populations that cannot currently afford the equipment which needs to be updated every three years or so However, access alone is not enough Students will have to be interacting with the technology in authentic settings As technology becomes a tool for learning in almost all courses taken by students, it will be seen as a means to an end rather than an end in itself If it is used in culturally relevant ways, all students can benefit from its power

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 43 to 50

Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a

jointly cherished goal Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation,

based on group organization and attitudes

In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse The group contains nearly all of each individual’s life The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each member There is an interlocking identity of individual, group and task performed Means and goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued

While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterature societies, secondary cooperation is characteristic of many modern societies In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their lives to the group Cooperation itself is not a value Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary, prestige,

or power Business offices and professional athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation

In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared work The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization is

loose and fragile Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals: it breaks

down when the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals This is not, strictly

speaking, cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation

is sometimes used for this relationship

Question 43 What is the author’s main purpose in the first paragraph of the passage?

A To offer a brief definition of cooperation

B To explain how cooperation differs from competition and conflict

C To urge readers to cooperate more often

D To show the importance of group organization and attitudes

Question 44 The word cherished in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

Question 45 Which of the following statements about primary cooperation is supported by

information in the passage?

A It is an ideal that can never be achieved

B It was confined to prehistoric times

C It is usually the first stage of cooperation achieved by a group of individuals attempting to cooperate

D It is most commonly seen among people who have not yet developed reading and writing skills

Question 46 According to the passage, why do people join groups that practice secondary

cooperation?

A To get rewards for themselves

B To defeat a common enemy

C To experience the satisfaction of cooperation

D To associate with people who have similar backgrounds

Question 47 Which of the following is an example of the third form of cooperation as it is defined

in the fourth paragraph?

A Members of a farming community share work and the food that they grow

B Two rival political parties temporarily work together to defeat a third party

C Students form a study group so that all of them can improve their grades

D A new business attempts to take customers away from an established company

Question 48 Which of the following is NOT given as a name for the third type of cooperation?

Question 49 The word fragile in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

Question 50 Which of the following best describes the overall organization of the passage?

A The author presents the points of view of three experts on the same topic

B The author compares and contrasts two types of human relations

C The author describes a concept by analyzing its three forms

D The author provides a number of concrete examples and then draws a conclusion

A won’t fall Đ}y l{ cấu trúc vế kết quả của c}u điều kiện loại 1

19 D Giải thích: Cấu trúc rút gọn mệnh đề quan hệ

- Khi h{nh động mang tính chủ động thì rút gọn động từ thành V-ing

- Khi h{nh động mang tính bị động thì rút gọn động từ thành V(Phân từ II)

- Khi h{nh động có tính thứ tự (có các từ như first, second, last, …) thì

rút gọn động từ thành "to + V(nguyên thể)"

Trong câu, danh từ "movements" không trực tiếp thực hiện h{nh động nên động từ "organize" được rút gọn thành dạng phân từ Việc bảo vệ môi trường là mục đích của c|c phong tr{o n{y nên "conserve" được dùng ở dang "to + V(nguyên thể)" để chỉ mục đích

Dịch nghĩa: Chúng ta nên tham gia vào các phong tr{o được tổ chức để

bảo vệ môi trường tự nhiên

A organizing to conserve = tổ chức để bảo vệ Chủ ngữ không trực tiếp thực hiện h{nh động nên không thể rút gọn thành V-ing

B organized conserving = được tổ chức đang bảo vệ Không thể rút gọn một lúc hai động từ theo cả dạng chủ động và bị động

C which organize to conserve = cái mà tổ chức để bảo vệ Chủ ngữ không trực tiếp thực hiện h{nh động nên động từ cần được chia dạng bị động đầy đủ

Robinson."

Mr Robinson : "Rất vui khi tôi đ~ có thể giúp đỡ."

ơn

C You are right = Bạn nói đúng Câu trả lời như vậy thì quá tự kiêu, ngạo mạn và không lịch sự Thông thường người ta không sử dụng những c}u như vậy để trả lời lời cảm
