Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase for each of the blanks
Cutting the Apron Strings There is substantial evidence that students going off to college have changed over the years For one thing, studies show that they are emotionally closer to their parents and their parents to them One thing that means is that they depend on each other more for happiness It puts a burden on children for parents to use their children as vehicles for their own happiness
— although today's young people seem complicit in this arrangement, perhaps because they've known no other way — even if it creates anxiety in the children That's one reason parents like to be involved in their children's college experiences, and colleges have had to devise novel ways of getting parents off campus when they transport their kids to school
There's also evidence that students today seem to be choosing schools with reference to proximity to home The closer a student is to home, the easier it is to bring the laundry home and to land in your old bed with tea and sympathy when you have the sniffles And the easier
it is for parents to visit you at university whenever the mood strikes The amount of visiting parents do is far more than in generations past
But in a real sense, students don't really leave their parents behind Their parents go to college right along with them — in their front pockets That is, the parents are a speed dial away by cellphone And the evidence is clear that students call parents and parents call students at an alarmingly frequent rate This, of course, significantly reduces independence A student doesn't get the chance to solve minor problems on his own — he just calls Mom or Dad A student has initial problems getting along with a roommate? A roommate doesn't do laundry as often as the other roommate wishes (I'm talking about actual incidents, not hypothetical ones? A student gets a C on her first paper? Instead of absorbing the negative
Trang 4information and figuring out how to resolve the problem or how to do better, the call gets made to home, where Mom or Dad solves the problem, often by calling the school administration This kind of behavior is, sadly, commonplace today and is a mark of the lack
of coping skills among students because all the lumps and bumps have been taken out of life for them until now
In addition to being tethered to parents, incoming freshmen are now very heavily connected (by cellphone) to classmates from high school, who are presumably at other colleges So there isn't the great impetus to mix and venture forth to meet new people, to get out of one's comfort zone, to get drawn into new experiences, that has traditionally marked the beginning of freshman year The laws of physics still apply, and it is difficult to be meeting new people and seeking novel experiences while you are talking to your old pals
Question 35: The provision of mobile phones for children, according to the author, _
A increases positive control by parents
B reduces children’s dependence on their parents

D demand a form of payment to go to college
Question 38: The author remarks that students nowadays tend to _
A go to college to satisfy their parents’ wish
B choose an institution that is close to their home
C choose a foreign institution rather than a domestic one
D refuse to go to college that is far from home
Question 39: Parents like to involve in their children’s college experiences because _
A they are afraid of being deprived of happiness
B the school often neglects their children
C they find their children a source of happiness
D they ‘re worried about the school’s carelessness
Question 40: The word “vehicle” in the 1st paragraph can be replaced by _
A methods B means C ways D instruments Question 41: The phrase “in the front pocket” in paragraph 3 depicts _from parents
A an instant control and care B an efficient way of control
Trang 5C the way mothers carry their babies D the way some animals carry their babies Question 42: Colleges have had to devise ways of getting parents off campus because _
A children want complete freedom from their parents’ control
B the colleges want to keep parents in the dark about their activities
C parents tend to get more involved in their children’s schoolwork
D teachers themselves do not want to share information with the parents
Question 43: By quoting the laws of physics, the author implies that _
A one should study physics whenever possible
B one should care about their new relationships
C one should build more relationships
D one should never forget old relationships
Question 44: “Cutting the Apron Strings”, the title of the passage can be interpreted as _
A being financially independent B parting with old relationships

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase for each of the blanks
One of the most famous concert halls in America is the Carnegie Hall in New York Initially, it was called simply the 'Music Hall', but three years after its opening it was renamed
in honour of Andrew Carnegie, the man who had provided much of the finance for its building
The Hall officially opened on May 5, 1891 Since then the Hall has played host to the giants of classical music, as well as those of jazz, pop, folk and rock music, and has also been used for political rallies, religious services and lectures One of the most dramatic lectures given in the Hall took place during its first year This began simply as a talk accompanied by slides of paintings of sunsets and landscapes, which was what the audience had been expecting However, as the lecture progressed, the effects became more dramatic, with thunder, rolling clouds and steam billowing over the audience's head while mechanical volcanoes exploded on stage - all to the amazement and delight of the audience
In 1927 the violinist Yehudi Menuhin made his appearance at the Carnegie Hall for the first time - he was aged ten In the afternoon before the performance, he was wandering around the Hall instead of practising and was fascinated by an axe which he saw on the wall The axe was for use in a fire but the boy, not knowing this, asked a security guard what it was for The guard made an impression with his reply: "That's for chopping the heads off soloists who don't play well enough Quite a few have already been chopped off." Yehudi went rushing back to practise On one occasion another famous violinist and a pianist were giving a performance together when the violinist got lost in the music He anxiously looked to the pianist for help and whispered "Where are we?" He received the less than helpful reply "In the Carnegie Hall"
Rock and roll made its first appearance at the Carnegie Hall in 1955 with Bill Haley and his Comets In 1964 the British invasion arrived when the Beatles played their first concert here On the day of the concert, cars came to a halt all over the city and the crowds
Trang 6surrounding the building were enormous Fortunately, in all the chaos nobody was seriously injured and the Hall escaped with only minor damage
In the 1950s the building was threatened with demolition but a vigorous campaign to save it was led by the conductor, Isaac Stern In 1960 the Hall was purchased by the City of New York and a few years later it was named a national landmark Over the years the most famous musicians, singers and entertainers in the world have appeared there - no doubt they will continue to do so for many years to come
Question 45: What do we learn about Andrew Carnegie?
A He gave most of his money to the Hall
В Не gave most of his money to the Hall
С Не renamed the Hall
D He felt honoured when the name was changed
Question 46: Why was the audience surprised at the lecture in the first year?
A People had not been expecting to see slides
B People thought that the special effects were frightening
С People had expected the lecture to be rather more dramatic
D People had thought they were going to hear a straightforward lecture
Question 47: What would seem to be special about Yehudi Menuhin's appearance at the Hall
in 1927?
A Не was very young at the time B He did no practising for the concert at all С Не had played here before D He had not appeared on a stage before Question 48: Why do you imagine he went to practice after speaking to the security guard?
A Не believed what the guard had told him
B Не thought the guard would attack him
C He wanted to find out what the axe was for
D He realized that he needed to practice
Question 49: Why was the pianist's answer unhelpful?
A The pianist was not telling the truth
B The violinist had lost his music
C The pianist did not know where they were
