Although most families in the United States enjoy a high living standard, many American women have to work (31) at home and in their offices. Despite their husbands' (32) of the housework, women have to do most of the housekeeping tasks. In singleparent families, the mothers may not have (33) children to take care of, but they have to raise their families alone and have to provide for all the housekeeping money. Therefore, the (34) mothers have to work very hard to earn their living. Moreover, although the single mothers have all the (35) conveniences at their homes, they find that bringing up their teenage children alone is not easy
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 following questions from 36 43
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 openended and allinclusive 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 is the main idea of the passage?
A. The best school teach a wide variety of subjects
B. Education and schooling are quite different experiences
C. Students benefit from schools, which require long hours and homework
Trang 5Question 37. What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their education
to go to school” (lines 2)?
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 38. The word “chance” in line 9 is closest in meaning to _.
Question 39. The word “they” in line 16 refers to .
A. slices of reality B. similar textbooks C. boundaries D. seats
Question 40. The phrase “For example,” line 17, introduces a sentence that gives examples of _.
C. the workings of a government D. the boundaries of classroom subjects
Question 41. The passage supports which of the following conclusions?
A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant
B. Education systems need to be radically reformed
C. Going to school is only part of how people become educated
D. Education involves many years of professional training

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 following questions from 44 50
Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a hindrance, and may even cause harm These studies have disclosed that the judgments of interviewers differ markedly and bear little or no relationship to the adequacy of the job applicants. Of the many reasons why this should be the case, three in particular stand out
The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo effect. If a person has one noticeable good trait, their other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are. Thus, an individual who dresses smartly and shows selfconfidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job well regardless of his or her real ability
Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect. This error occurs when interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information. Hence, in an interview situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to confirm the impression given by the candidate in the first few moments. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated to the aptitude of the applicant
The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers. A suitable candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who appears exceptionally intelligent. Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be judged as more suitable than he or she really is
Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other selection procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability. Of the
Trang 6various tests devised, the predictor which appears to do this most successfully is cognitive ability as measured by a variety of verbal and spatial tests.
Question 44. word “they” in line 6 refers to _.
Question 45. The word “this” in line 20 refers to _.
A. measure cognitive ability B. devise personnel selection
C. predict candidate suitability D. devise accurate tests
Question 46. This passage mainly discusses the _
A. Judgments of interviewers concerning job applicants
B. Inadequacy of interviewing job applicants
C. Effects of interviewing on job applicants.
D. Techniques that interviewers use for judging job applicants
Question 47. According to the passage the first impression _.
A. can easily be altered B. is unrelated to the interviewer’s prejudices
C. is the one that stays with the interviewer D. has been repeatedly demonstrated to the applicant
Question 48. The author mentions all of the following reasons why interviewing is not an accurate way
to predict candidate suitability EXCEPT the _
A. primacy effect B. halo effect C. contrast effect D. cognitive effect
Question 49. The word “confirm” in line 10 is closest in meaning to _.
Question 50. The paragraphs following the passage most likely discuss which of the following?
A. More information on the kinds of judgmental effects
B. Other reasons for misjudgments of applicants
C. Other selection procedures included in interviewing
D. More information on cognitive ability tests

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
These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is important
to wear the right thing
Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinema and concerts you can put on what you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy
But in Britain, as well as the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses
In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles
It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the US, because everyone
is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You’ll feel more relaxed if you don’t look different from everyone else
30. Many British people wear freely when they _
Trang 9C. spend their spare time D. meet their friends.
31. The word ''they'' in paragraph 4 refers to
A. American people B. British people C. many years D. clothes
32. If you visit an American friend at home in the evening, you may find that your friend wear
A. pretty clothes B. informal clothes C. formal clothes D. plain clothes
33. If you are in a foreign country, the best way the writer suggests to you is to wear
34. What do you think the passage is mainly about?
A. Recent dressing habit in Great Britain and the United States
B. The reason why informal clothing is popular in the UK and USA
C. When we should wear in a formal way
D. Where we should wear in a formal way
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
After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard's MBA School has shown a substantial increase
in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since
1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about
3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue
There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that many graduates of fouryear colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street,
or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entrylevel management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, "Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?" The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number
of entrylevel jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands
35. What is the main focus of this passage?
A. jobs on Wall Street B. types of graduate degrees
C. changes in enrollment for MBA schools D. how schools are changing to reflect the economy
36. The phrase "two decades" refers to a period of _
37. The word "prosperity" could be best replaced by which of the following?

40. Which of the following descriptions most likely applies to Wall Street?
A. a center for international affairs B. a major financial center
41. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
Trang 10B. Many graduates of fouryear colleges have had no difficulties in finding a job on Wall Street.
C. There has been a decrease in enrolment in MBA schools in the United States recently
D. There has been no need for MBA schools to change anything to meet the new demands
42. According to the passage, what are two causes of declining business school enrollments?
A. lack of necessity for an MBA and an economic recession
B. low salary and foreign competition
C. fewer MBA schools and fewer entrylevel jobs
D. declining population and economic prosperity
