Your animal or hobby may be perceived in a completely different light in another culture so it’s important to consider the significance given to specific animals in different parts of the world and general perceptions towards them One example which is often mentioned in popular press is the case of dogs In some cultures, like the US or UK, dogs are loved and considered a great pet to have at home and with the family In other cultures, such as those where Islam is the majority religion, dogs may be perceived as dirty or dangerous Muslims treatment of dogs is still a matter of debate amongst Islamic scholars, while these animals are widely considered by many Western cultures to be “mans best friend”, the Koran describes them as “unhygienic” Muslims will therefore avoid touching a dog unless he can wash his hands immediately afterwards, and they will almost never keep a dog in their home In Iran, for instance, a cleric once denounced “the moral depravity” of dog owners and even demanded their arrest If you are an international assignee living and working in Saudi Arabia or another Arabic country, you should remember this when inviting Arab counterparts to your house in case you have a dog as a pet This is just one example of how Islam and other cultural beliefs can impact on aspects of everyday life that someone else may not even question A Middle Eastern man might be very surprised when going to Japan, for instance, and seeing dogs being dressed and pampered like humans and carried around in baby prams! Dogs are not the only animals which are perceived quite differently from one culture to another In India, for example, cows are sacred and are treated with the utmost respect Conversely in Argentina, beef is a Trang symbol of national pride because of its tradition and the high quality of its cuts An Indian working in Argentina who has not done his research or participated in a cross cultural training programme such as Doing Business in Argentina may be surprised at his first welcome dinner with his Argentinean counterparts where a main dish of beef would be served It is therefore crucial to be aware of the specific values assigned to objects or animals in different cultures to avoid faux-pas or cultural misunderstandings, particularly when living and working in another culture Learning how people value animals and other symbols around the world is one of the numerous cultural examples discussed in Communicaid’s intercultural training courses Understanding how your international colleagues may perceive certain animals can help you ensure you aren’t insensitive and it may even provide you with a good topic for conversation (Source: https //www.communicaid.com) Question 43 What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A Talking about different perceptions with others will help you overcome insensitivity B To avoid cultural shocks, people should not live or work in another culture C It’s important to value the objects or animals in different countries before going there D Understanding different perceptions of animals will help you avoid faux-pas in another nation Question 44 According to paragraph 2, which sentence is INCORRECT? A The dog is a typical example of different views in the world about animals B Dogs are well-treated and loved in the US and UK C Muslims are those considering dogs as their best pets at home D People whose religion is Islam don’t like having dogs in their home Question 45 The word “unhygienic” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to A unhealthy B undependable C unreliable D unacceptable Question 46 What does the word “this” in paragraph refer to? A you are an international assignee B you are having a dog as pet C a cleric once denounced the moral depravity of dog owners and even demanded their arrest D you are living and working in Saudi Arabia or another Arabic country Question 47 The author mentioned cows in paragraph as an example of A the animals that are differently perceived in numerous cultures B sacred animals in Argentina C a symbol of a nation for its high quality of nutrients D which may cause surprise for Argentinian people at dinner Question 48 which of the following could be the main idea of the passage? A Perceptions of animals across cultures B What should be learnt before going to another country Trang C Dogs and different beliefs in the world D Muslims and their opinions about animals Question 49 The word “pampered” in the third paragraph could be best replaced by A indulged B taken care of C made up D respected Question 50 It can be inferred from the passage that A people will change their perceptions of animals when living in another culture B you should not be surprised if other counterparts consider your sacred animals as food C there are many things to research before going to live and work in another country D respecting other cultures is a good way to have a successful life abroad Trang Đáp án 1-D 2-C 3-C 4-D 5-A 6-D 7-C 8-D 9-D 10-A 11-B 12-C 13-D 14-C 15-B 16-C 17-C 18-A 19-C 20-D 21-D 22-B 23-B 24-C 25-D 26-C 27-D 28-A 29-A 30-D 31-C 32-D 33-D 34-A 35-B 36-C 37-A 38-B 39-C 40-B 41-C 42-D 43-D 44-C 45-A 46-C 47-A 48-A 49-B 50-C LỜI GIẢI CHI TIẾT Question 1: Đáp án D Đáp án D phần gạch chân đáp án D đọc /t/ Các phương án lại phần gạch chân đọc /d/ A whispered /ˈwɪspə(r)d/ (v)/(n): nói thầm (v)/ tiếng xì xào (n) B wandered /ˈwɒndə(r)d/ (v): lang thang C sympathized /ˈsɪmpəθaɪzd/ (v): cảm thông D sentenced /ˈsentənst/ (v)/(n): kết án (v)/ câu văn (n) * Note: Chúng ta cần ôn tập lại quy tắc phát âm đuôi “-ed” -ed phát âm là: /ɪd/ /t/ /d/ Khi tận từ là: /t/ /d/ Các phụ âm vô thanh: /s/, /ʃ/, /tʃ/, /k/, /p/, /f/, /θ/ Các âm hữu lại Ví dụ decided, accepted, visited missed, stopped, washed, ranked, approached, sentenced involved, played, whispered, wandered, sympathized Question 2: Đáp án C Đáp án C phần gạch chân đáp án C đọc /əli/ Các phương án lại có phần gạch chân đọc /aɪl/ A compile /kəmˈpaɪl/ (v): biên soạn B facile /ˈfæsaɪl/ (adj): dễ dàng, đơn giản C facsimile /fækˈsɪməli/ (n): sao, chép D textile /ˈtekstaɪl/ (n): vải dệt Question Đáp án C Đáp án C đáp án D trọng âm rơi vào âm thứ hai Các phương án lại trọng âm rơi vào âm A carpet /ˈkɑːpɪt/ (n)/(v): thảm (n)/ trải thảm, trích (v) B country /ˈkʌntri/ (n): đất nước C idea /aɪˈdɪə/ (n): ý tưởng, quan điểm D volume /ˈvɒljuːm/ (n): âm lượng, số lượng Trang Question Đáp án D Đáp án D đáp án D trọng âm rơi vào âm thứ Các phương án lại trọng âm rơi vào âm thứ hai A familiar /fəˈmɪliə(r)/ (adj)/(n): thân mật, quen biết (adj)/ người thân cận (n) B uncertainty /ʌnˈsɜːtnti/ (n): tính khơng chắn C impatient /ɪmˈpeɪʃnt/ (adj): nóng nảy, kiên nhẫn D arrogantly /ˈærəɡəntli/ (adv): cách kiêu ngạo Ấn vào để xem tiếp lời giải Ấn vào để tải file Word đề thi Trang 10 ... 4-D 5-A 6-D 7-C 8-D 9- D 10-A 11-B 12-C 13-D 14-C 15-B 16-C 17-C 18-A 19- C 20-D 21-D 22-B 23-B 24-C 25-D 26-C 27-D 28-A 29- A 30-D 31-C 32-D 33-D 34-A 35-B 36-C 37-A 38-B 39- C 40-B 41-C 42-D 43-D... 48-A 49- B 50-C LỜI GIẢI CHI TIẾT Question 1: Đáp án D Đáp án D phần gạch chân đáp án D đọc /t/ Các phương án lại phần gạch chân đọc /d/ A whispered /ˈwɪspə(r)d/ (v)/(n): nói thầm (v)/ tiếng xì... taken C government must realize the serious results D unless trees never be cut down Question 39 The word “bind ” in the passage probably means _ A to make wet B to wash away C to make stay
