THE VIDEO LOGGERS
One rather unlike word that has recently entered the language is “blog”, a shortened form of
“web log” A blog is a diary on the Internet by the person writing it – the “blogger” – who presumably expect other people to read it Modern technology is being used to (31) new life into such an old-fashioned form as the personal journal And now, as the technology behind video camera is making them easier to use, we have the video log, or “vlog” Vlogging does not require (32) sophisticated equipment: a digital video camera, a high-speed Internet connection and a host are all that is needed Vloggers can put anything that takes their fancy onto their personal web site Some vloggers have no ambition (33) than to show films they have shot while on holiday in exotic places However, vlogs can also serve more ambitious purposes For instance, amateur film-makers who want to make a (34) for themselves might publish their work on the Internet, eager to receive advice or criticism And increasingly, vlogs are being used to publicize political and social issues that are not noteworthy enough to earn coverage by the mass media It is still too early to predict whether vlogging will ever (35) off in a major way or if it is just a passing fad, but its potential is only now becoming apparent

Read the following passage and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each for the questions
Trang 5Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in, involves the utilization of a decision worksheet Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are Proponents
of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets can take, they are all similar in
their essential aspects
Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision
Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds
can generally comprehend and remember On the average, people can keep about seven ideas
in their minds at once A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large
number of variables with complex relationships A realistic example for many college students is the question “What will I do after graduation?” A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year
A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will
also help to narrow it It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and
immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision from short-range ones Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to
“What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career?”
Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A A tool to assist in making complex decisions
B A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions
C Research on how people make decisions
D Differences between long-range and short-range decision making
Question 37: The word “essential” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to
A introductory B changeable C beneficial D fundamental
Trang 6Question 38: Of the following steps, which occurs before the others in making a decision
worksheet?
A Listing the consequences of each solution
B Calculating a numerical summary of each solution
C Deciding which consequences are most important
D Writing down all possible solutions
Question 39: According to decision-worksheet theory, an optimal decision is defined as one
that
A has the fewest variables to consider
B uses the most decision worksheets
C has the most points assigned to it
D is agreed to by the greatest number of people
Question 40: The author states in paragraph 3 that “On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once” to explain that
A most decisions involve seven steps
B human mental capacity has limitations
C some people have difficulty making minor as well as major decisions
D people can learn to keep more than seven ideas in their minds with practice
Question 41: Which of the following terms is defined in the passage?
A Proponents (para.1) B Optimal (para.1)
C Variables (para.3) D Long-range goals (para.4)
Question 42: The word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to
A worksheet B problem C distinction D decision
Read the following passage and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each for the questions
The National Automobile Show in New York has been one of the top auto shows in the United States since 1900 On November 3 of that year, about 8,000 people looked over the “ horseless carriages” It was opening day and the first opportunity for the automobile industry
to show off its wares to large crowd; however, the black-tie audience treated the occasion more as a social affair than as sales extravaganza It was also on the first day of this show that William Mckinley became the first U.S Present to ride in a car
The automobile was not invented in the United States That distinction belongs to Germany Nikolaus Otto built the first practical internal-combustion engine there in 1876 Then, German engineer Karl Benz built what are regarded as the first modern automobiles in
Trang 7the mid-1880s But the United States pioneered the merchandising of the automobile The auto show proved to be an effective means of getting the public excited about automotive products
By happenstance, the number of people at the first New York show equaled the entire car population of the United States at that time In 1900, 10 million bicycles and an unknown number of horse-drawn carriages provided the prime means of personal transportation Only about 4,000 cars were assembled in the United States in 1900, and only a quarter of those were gasoline powered The rest ran on steam or electricity
After viewing the cars made by forty car makers, the show’s audience favored electric cars because they were quiet The risk of a boiler explosion turned people away from streamers, and the gasoline-powered cars produced smelly fumes The Duryea Motor Wagon Company, which launched the American auto industry in 1895, offered a fragrant additive designed to mask the smells of the naphtha that is burned Many of the 1900 models were cumbersome – the Gas mobile, the Franklin, and the Orient, for example, steered with a tiller like a boat instead of with a steering wheel None of them was equipped with an automatic starter
These early model cars were practically handmade and were not very dependable They
were basically toys of the well-to-do In fact, Woodrow Wilson, then a professor at Princeton
University and later President of the United States, predicted that automobiles would cause conflict between the wealthy and the poor However, among the exhibitors at the 1900 show was a young engineer named Henry Ford The cars he exhibited at the 1900 show apparently attracted no special notice But before the end of the decade, he would revolutionize the automobile industry with his Model T Ford The Model T, first produced in 1909, featured a standardized design and a steamlined method of production – the assembly line Its lower costs made it available to the mass market
Cars at the 1900 show ranged in price from 1,000 dollars to 1,500 dollars, or roughly 14,000 dollars to 21,000 in today’s prices By 1913, the Model T was selling for less than 300 dollars , and soon the price would drop even further “I will build cars for the multiudes,” Ford said, and he kept his promise
Question 43: The passage implies that the audience viewed the 1900 National Automobile Show
primarily as a(n)
A formal social occasion
B chance to buy automobiles at low prices
C opportunity to learn how to drive
Trang 8D chance to invest in one of thirty-two automobile manufacturers

powered?
Question 47: According to the passage, people at the 1900 National Automobile Show favored
cars powered by
A electricity B naphtha C gasoline D steam
Question 48: The purpose of the additive mentioned in paragraph 4 was to
A increase the speed of cars B make engines run more efficiently
C hide strong smells D make cars look better
Question 49: The word well-to-do in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to

rather than with a steering wheel ?
