Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers A recent surve y in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular?

Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities

It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the opportunity Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office

C are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office D feel that a work area in their

home is away from the office

Câu 25: It can be inferred from the passage that the author is _

A a telecommuter B a statistician C the manager D a reporter Câu 26: The phrase “of no consequence” means _

A of no good B unimportant C of no use D irrelevant

Harvard University, today recognized as part of the top echelon of the world’s universities, came from very inauspicious and humble beginning

This oldest of American universities was founded in 1636, just sixteen years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Included in the Puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony during this period were more than 100 graduates of England’s prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these universities graduates in the New World were determined that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that they themselves had had Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher learning, the General Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early the following year decided on a parcel of land for the school; this land was in an area called Newtown, which was later renamed Cambridge after its English cousin and is the site of the present-day university

When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of Charlestown, died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700 pounds to the fledgling college In spite of the fact that only half of the bequest was actually paid, the General Court named the college after the minister in appreciation for what he had done The amount of the bequest may not have been large, particularly by today’s standard, but it was more than the General Court had found it necessary to appropriate in order to open the college

Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it should be noted that in addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty, with an entering freshmen class of four students Although the staff did expand somewhat, for the first century of its existence the entire teaching staff consisted of the president and three or four tutors

Câu 43: The main idea of this passage is that _ A John Harvard was key to the development of a great university

B Harvard University developed under the auspices of the General Court of Massachusetts C Harvard is one of the world’s most prestigious universities

D What is today a great university started out small

Câu 44: The passage indicates that Harvard is _

A the oldest university in America B the oldest university in the world

C one of the oldest universities in America D one of the oldest universities in the world

Câu 45: It can be inferred from the passage that the Puritans who traveled to the Massachusetts colony were

_

A rather well educated B rather supportive of the English government C rather rich D rather undemocratic

Câu 46: The pronoun “they” in the second paragraph refers to _ A Oxford and Cambridge universities B university graduates C son D educational opportunities Câu 47: The “pounds” in the second paragraph are probably _

A types of books B college students C school campuses D units of money Câu 48: Which of the following is NOT mentioned about John Harvard?

A How much he bequeathed to Harvard B What he died of C Where he came from D Where he was buried Câu 49: The passage implies that _

A Someone else really served as president of Harvard before Henry Dunster

B The position of president of Harvard was not merely an administrative position in the early years C Henry Dunster was an ineffective president

D Henry Dunster spent much of his time as president managing the Harvard faculty

Câu 50: The word “somewhat” in the last paragraph could best be replaced by _ A side by side B back and forth C more or less D to and fro

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 questions to 13

Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it It is directly related to cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex A person of culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and music Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values

Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national and global cultures Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous Yet this is misleading While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of development in the 20th century Cultures evolve or develop They are not static They have twists and turns Styles change So fashions There are cultural processes What, for example, the word cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman) literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university education No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture As cultures express themselves in new forms not everything gets better or more civilized

The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define There is no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one The only nonproblematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture) Since in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of reference is extremely wide

What Do You Think?

We have all had bad experiences with restaurants, stores, or hotels Maybe you have gone to a restaurant that served terrible food Perhaps you have gone to a store that had high prices or bad service Or maybe you have booked a hotel and found out later that the room was nothing like the advertisement

(10)

These days, we have a better chance of preventing these unpleasant surprises We can this by using apps “App” is short for “application” An app is a computer programme on a smartphone You can use apps to almost anything Apps can help you play games, get directions, talk to friends, and so on

If f you want to find information about a store or a hotel, you can use a review app Review apps help us evaluate services and products before we hand over our money The idea is very simple After you go to a restaurant or stay in a hotel, you can post a review with one of your apps You can say anything you want If you like a hotel you stayed in, you can tell people that it was wonderful If you think that the food in a certain restaurant was bad, then you tell people not to eat there Other people can use their apps to read your reviews

Plenty of people prefer not to use these review apps Many of these people prefer to go out and decide for themselves whether or not a service is good However, review apps are getting more and more popular every day Some apps are for specific services For example, Tripadvisor focuses on travel, and Goodreads focuses on books There are also other, larger apps that provide information for just about every service that you can think of

C It can tell you about other people who post reviews D It can help you write better reviews

Câu 42: The word “it” in paragraph refers to

A A hotel B An idea C A review D A restaurant

Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial problem of desert animals is to survive in a world where sources of flowing water are rare And since man's inexorablenecessity is to absorb large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop

Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its desiccating effects No moist -skinned, water-loving animals can exist there Few large animals are found The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth Yet they are not emaciated Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word

The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology None could survive if, like Mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees

Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms unable to withstand its desiccating effects No moist -skinned, water-loving animals can exist there Few large animals are found The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth Yet they are not emaciated Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word

The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology None could survive if, like Mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees

Question 17.The title for this passage could be _

A "Life Underground" B."Desert Plants" C "Animal Life in a Desert Environment" D "Man's Life in a Desert Environment"

Question 18 According to the passage, creatures in the desert _ A live in an accommodating environment

B are smaller and fleeter than forest animals

C are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest D are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world

A animals B minutes C people D water

Question 20 The phrase "those forms" in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _

A the coyote and the bobcat B many large animals C water-loving animals D moist-skinned animals

Question 21 Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as _

A water is an essential part of his existence B sources of flowing water are rare in a desert C very few large animals are found in the desert

D water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things

Food insecurity plays an important role too Nepalese families that not have enough food to eat are more likely to marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial burden One study shows that 91% of people who had secure access to food married over the age of 19

Dowry is also common practice in many communities Parents marry their daughters as soon as possible because the money they have to pay to the groom’s family is higher if their daughter is older Since 2010, the legal age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or 18 with parental consent, according to the Nepalese Country Code

The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to years and a fine of up to 10,000 rupees (£102) But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied There has been quite a lot of progress in Nepal over the past years with a clear government commitment to ending child marriage and civil society cooperation The Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare is currently developing Nepal’s first national strategy on child marriage in collaboration with UNICEF

Food insecurity plays an important role too Nepalese families that not have enough food to eat are more likely to marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial burden One study shows that 91% of people who had secure access to food married over the age of 19

Dowry is also common practice in many communities Parents marry their daughters as soon as possible because the money they have to pay to the groom’s family is higher if their daughter is older Since 2010, the legal age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or 18 with parental consent, according to the Nepalese Country Code

The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to years and a fine of up to 10,000 rupees (£102) But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied There has been quite a lot of progress in Nepal over the past years with a clear government commitment to ending child marriage and civil society cooperation The Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare is currently developing Nepal’s first national strategy on child marriage in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal and Girls Not Brides Nepal However, the post-earthquake and post-fuel crisis environment has meant progress is slow and the national strategy has been delayed

Nepal has made important progress over the past few years to promote equality, but the country still has one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world 41% of Nepalese girls are married before the age of 18

Poverty is both a cause and consequence of child marriage in Nepal Girls from the wealthiest families marry years later than those from the poorest, who are seen as an economic burden, and who drop out of school and earn little money

Food insecurity plays an important role too Nepalese families that not have enough food to eat are more likely to marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial burden One study shows that 91% of people who had secure access to food married over the age of 19

Dowry is also common practice in many communities Parents marry their daughters as soon as possible because the money they have to pay to the groom’s family is higher if their daughter is older Since 2010, the legal age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or 18 with parental consent, according to the Nepalese Country Code

The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to years and a fine of up to 10,000 rupees (£102) But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied There has been quite a lot of progress in Nepal over the past years with a clear government commitment to ending child marriage and civil society cooperation The Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare is currently developing Nepal’s first national strategy on child marriage in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal and Girls Not Brides Nepal However, the post-earthquake and post-fuel crisis environment has meant progress is slow and the national strategy has been delayed

For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten months old, to become familiar with computers They seem to think that if their children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future

No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent The truth may even be the opposite Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development Children gain valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects Ten-month-old babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eye-catching cartoons A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs

It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from an early age Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse" Now is the time when they should be out there learning to ride a bike There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards

C. There is no evidence that children who use computers are cleverer than those who not D. Computers seriously harm children's eyesight

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

Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it It is directly related to cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex A person of culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and music Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values

Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national and global cultures Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous Yet this is misleading While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioral pattern, the use of the word culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of development in the 20th century Cultures evolve or develop They are not static They have twists and turns Styles change So fashions There are cultural processes What, for example, the word cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman) literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university education No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture As cultures express themselves in new forms not everything gets better or more civilized

The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define There is no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one The only non-problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture) Since in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of reference is extremely wide

Question 23. It can be inferred from the passage that since the 20th century A. all schools and universities have taught classical literature, philosophy, and history B. classical literature, philosophy, and history have been considered as core subjects C. classical literature, philosophy, and history have not been taught as core subjects D. schools and universities have not taught classical literature, philosophy, and history Question 24 The word "It" in paragraph refers to _

A. broadcasting B. the soil C. culture D. the treatment and care Question 25. The passage mainly discusses _

A. the derivatives of the word culture B. the distinction between culture and civilization C. the figurative meanings of the word culture D. the multiplicity of meanings of the word culture Question 26 Which of the following is NOT true about the word culture?

A. Its use has been considerably changed B. It is a word that cannot be defined C. It differs from the word civilization D. It evolves from agriculture

Question 27. The author remarks that culture and civilization are the two words that _ A. share the same word formation pattern B. have nearly the same meaning

C. are both related to agriculture and cultivation D. not develop from the same meaning Question 28 The word "attributes" in paragraph most likely means _

A. qualities B. aspects C. fields D. skills

A. dense B. balanced C. unchanged D. regular

When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a lover but a friend also They find a person with whom they can share their opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears In marriage we are looking for a partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and dislikes

If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely they are familiar with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in general They basically have the same roots In the case of a western man and foreign woman family everything is more complicated and requires much more patience and understanding from both spouses On one hand each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the other's country, culture, traditions and life styles which can be very interesting On the other hand it can be very disappointing if there is the inability to understand your partner's excitements and frustrations For example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up with Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this artist was often played in your house when you were a child Unfortunately you realize that your wife is unable to understand your feelings because she has no idea who this artist is Her eyes are absolutely empty because she has never even heard the song before You feel rather disappointed! Remember that your wife has the same situation with you You not know her country's songs, her country's famous actors, her books She has her own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult than it is for you At least, you live in your own country where everybody can understand you She lives in completely strange surroundings, where she has nobody to share her feelings with, except you

Do some research and learn about your wife's country, culture and lifestyles Talk with her, ask her questions, get to know what songs she likes, what movies and books are of interest to her The Internet will give you a great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country's culture, let her listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you with great impression Let her understand you better through the things that you like Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences

(Source: https://vi4.ilovetranslation) Câu 30: A spouse should

A not interfere with what the partner's likes and dislikes B not share the feelings with the partner

C let the partner to everything alone D be not only a lover but also a friend Câu 31: According to the passage,

B Spouses who have the same nationality need more patience and understanding in their marriage than those who are from different cultures

C Spouses who have the same roots go not share anything together

While students traditionally gave their favorite teacher an apple in past years, in China, teachers are given flowers Peonies are by far the flower most often given in China They are also quite popularly used for weddings Strangely, potted plants are not considered a pleasant gift among Asian cultures The people believe that like a plant confined by a pot, the gift symbolizes a binding or restriction

In Russia, in lieu of giving birthday presents, the guest of honor receives a single flower or an unwrapped bouquet Floral arrangements or baskets are not given Russians celebrate a holiday known as Woman's Day Traditional gifts include red roses, hyacinths or tulips When there is a funeral or other occasion where someone wishes to express sympathy, carnations, lilies or roses are given in circular configurations, which signify the transition of birth, life and death to rebirth In this instance, the color of choice is commonly yellow For joyous occasions, arrangements and bouquets generally contain an odd number of flowers

In the times of ancient Rome, brides carried flowers to scare away evil spirits and encourage fertility The Dutch believed that flowers were food for the soul When invited to someone's home in Great Britain, it is tradition to bring a gift of flowers All types are acceptable except white lilies, which are usually seen at funerals Unlike the United States, red roses are a symbol of love Flowers are generally gifted in odd numbered increments regardless of the occasion However, the Brits also have superstitions regarding the number 13, so the number is avoided

In the southern region of the continent, flowers are traditionally given during Christmas Egyptians are much more conservative and restrict flower gifting to funerals and weddings While certain flowers may have significant meanings for some, flowers in Las Vegas and across the United States flowers are an accepted gift for any reason desired

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

A long time ago, when ancient Rome was still an empire, people of that time used similar weights and measures The standards for these weights and measures were established by the Romans, who kept these standards in a temple in Rome All standards for measuring weight or distance were the same, whether in Spain or in Syria But then the Roman Empire fell, and these standards disappeared Today, standards vary from place to place throughout the world Tourists who drive from the United States in Canada, for example, are surprised when they buy gasoline for their cars A gallon of gas costs more than they are accustomed to paying They complain that prices are much higher in Canada than in the United States Then they discover that they can drive farther on a Canadian gallon than on a United States gallon Is it a different kind of gas? No, it is a different kind of gallon Canada uses the British, or imperial, gallon that is about one-fifth larger than the United States gallon Four quarts equal a gallon and two pints equal a quart in both countries But Canada’s quarts and pints are larger than quarts and pints in the United States The imperial gallon equals 277.42 cubic inches while the gallon in the United States is equal to 231 cubic inches Measured in ounces, Canada’s large gallon holds 160 fluid ounces, while the smaller United States gallon holds no more than 128 fluid ounces From these figures, it is easy to see why Americans can drive farther on the Canadian gallon than on the American gallon Someday, countries may follow the example of the ancient Romans and make weights and measures the same for every nation

In the past, technology and progress was very slow People “invented” farming 12,000 years ago but it took 8,000 years for the idea to go around the world Then, about 3,500 years ago, people called “potters” used round wheels to turn and make plates But it took hundreds of years before some clever person thought, if we join two wheels together and make them bigger, we can use them to move things

In the last few centuries, things have begun to move faster Take a 20th-century invention like the aeroplane, for example The first acroplane flight on 17 December 1903 only lasted 12 seconds, and the plane only went 37 metres It can't have been very exciting to watch, but that flight changed the world Sixteen years later, the first plane flew across the Atlantic, and only fifty years after that, men walked on the moon Technology is now changing our world faster and faster So what will the future bring?

A It's an old idea, but people are only starting to develop it now. B It's much easier to build a solar power station in space than on Earth. C It's a science fiction idea, and nobody really thinks it will work. D People tried it in 1941, but they didn'tsucceed.

The time when humans crossed the Arctic land bridge from Siberia to Alaska seems remote to us today, but actually represents a late stage in prehistory of humans, an era when polished stone implements and bows and arrows were already being used and dogs bad already been domesticated

When these early migrants arrived in North America, they found woods and plains dominated by three types of American mammoths Those elephants were distinguished from today's elephants mainly by their thick, shaggy coats and their huge, upward-curving tusks They had arrived on the continent hundreds of thousands of years before their human followers The wooly mammoth in the North, the Columbian mammoth in middle North America, and the imperial mammoth of the South, together with their distant cousins the mastodons, dominated the land Here, as in the Old World, there is evidence that humans hunted these elephants,as shown by numerous spear points found with mammoth remains

Then, at the end of the Ice Age, when the last glaciers had retreated, there was a relatively sudden and widespread extinction of elephants In the New World, both mammoths and mastodons disappeared In the Old World, only Indian and African elephants survived

Why did the huge, seemingly successful mammoths disappear? Were humans connected with their extinction?

A humans B dogs C mammoths D mastodons

Câu 46: Where were the imperial mammoths the dominant type of mammoth? A Alaska B the central portion of North America C the southern part of North America D South America

Câu 47: It can be inferred that when humans crossed into the New World, they

A had previously hunted mammoths in Siberia. B had never seen mammoths before.

C brought mammoths with them from the Old World. D soon learned to use dogs to hun mammoths. Câu 48: The passage support which of the following conclusions about mammoths?

A Competition with mastodons caused them to become extinct. B Humans hunted them to extinction.

C The cause of their extinction is not definitely known.

D The freezing temperatures of the Ice Age destroyed their food supply.

Câu 49: Which of the following is NOT true about prehistoric humans at the time of the mammoths' extinction? A They were relatively few in number B They were concentrated in a small area.

C They knew how to use bows and arrows D They were skilled hunters.

Because hunter-gatherers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments, such as deserts and arctic wastelands In higher latitudes, the shorter growing seasons have restricted the availability of plant life Such conditions have caused a greater dependence on hunting, and on fishing along the coasts and waterways The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet and have limited possibilities for the development of subsistence societies

Contemporary hunter-gatherers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors We know from the observation of modern hunter-gatherers in both Africa and Alaska that a society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile While the entire community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp When the food in the area has become exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site We also notice seasonal migration patterns evolving for most hunter-gatherers, along with a strict division of labor between the sexes These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practised by mankind during the Paleolithic Period

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer for each question

It is an undeniable fact that a woman's place was once in the home In the past, women were merely required to fulfill the role of mother and housewife Today, this situation has changed tremendously If a woman possesses the attributes and qualities of her male counterpart, she willdefinitely be given equalopportunities in the career world without much bias Therefore,

(139)

women began to make the scene and, eventually, there was a steady flow of women leaving their homes A certain vacuum or emptiness was thus created in the households No more could the husbands turn to their wives after a hard day's work Society marveled at the ability of women, but it also suffered at the realization of the important role that women play in their homes Should women be allowed to work after marriage then? The answer is undoubtedly positive although this issue is highly debatable in terms of the nature of the professions involved If a woman pursues her career but is at the same time able to care for her home and children, one simply cannot find any reason why she should not be allowed to so

A woman's influence is greatly needed in the home, on the children What a child needs most is his mother's care because how the child is molded depends greatly on her It is a real pity that women who leave their homes solely in search of a career seldom give a thought to this The children, being helpless and dependent creatures, may have nobody to turn to at home, except servants or relatives With the mother's back only after a hard day's toil, the children surely not get much attention

Whether a woman should continue to work after marriage would depend on the nature of her profession It is a waste of resources if women,after seeking higher education, immediately abandon their careersafter matrimony A woman's effort can also contribute to the well-being and development of society In the Malaysian context, a teacher is only required to work a five-day week with term holidays every now and then Moreover, she is in school for only half of the day The other half of the day can be devoted to her home A teacher, besides educating the society, canfulfill the role of both mother and housewife There are many other careers like those of nurses, clerks and typists where women can fulfill the double role

Nevertheless, there are many professions which would not be advisable for women to indulge in after marriage A public relations officer spends almost three-quarters of her time in her career She has heavy tasks to shoulder which might require her to entertain others till odd hours at night Women who venture into the business world should think twice before plunging into it It would be beyond their means to fulfill two demanding roles at the same time

As it is, a woman's most important responsibility still lies in her home Without her around in the house, one just cannot bear to think of the consequences Unless and until she can fulfill the basic role of a housewife and mother, she should not make a career her sole responsibility

Câu 22.The word "mearvelled" in paragraph could be best replaced by _

A.was excited B. was amazed C.was frustrated D.was fascinated

Câu 23.According to the passage, what job is NOT suitable for women after getting married?

A.typists B.public relations officers

C.nurses D.clerks

Câu 24.Which of the following about women is NOT true in paragraph 1?

A.Women play an important role in their homes

B. Women will have equality of job opportunities if they are as qualified as men

C. Women's going out to work didn't change anything in the life of their families

D.The main role of women in bygone days was childbearing and homemaking

Câu 25.Why should a business woman have the second thought before starting her career?

A. Because she has heavy tasks to shoulder till very late at night

(140)

B. Since she has to spend three quarters of her time on business

C. Because she has to plunge into this job

D.As it would be hard for her to fulfill the double role at the same time

Câu 26.The word "this" in paragraph 2refersto

A. the woman's influence at her home

B. the career that the woman wants to

C. the child of the woman

D. the mother's care which is the most necessary for a child

A. The necessary characteristics for women to work aftermarriage

B.Should women be allowed to work after marriage?

C. What jobs are suitable for women after marriage?

D. The role of women in society

Câu 28.The word "matrimony" in paragraph is closest in meaning to _

A.marriage B.divorce C.celibate D.remarriage

Câu 29.Which can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Women should fulfill their primary roles at home before making their own careers

B. Women should not have their own careers

C. Women should stay at home to fulfill their responsibilities

D. Women should think of the consequences in their houses

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 35 to 42:

Smart cards and mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way to make all sorts of payments Even now, in Japan thousands of transactions, from paying rail tickets to picking up the groceries, take place every day with customers passing their handsets across a small flat-screen device And predictions in the world of finance reckon that payments using mobile phones will have risen to more than $50 billion in the very near future

What's the appeal of e-cash? Compared to cheques or credit cards, it offers the speed of cash, but more so It takes just one tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no change is required, errors in counting are eliminated Fraud and theft are also reduced and for the retailer, it reduces the cost of handling money Sony's vision of having a chip embedded in computers, TVs and games consoles means that films, music and games can be paid for easily without having to input credit card details And what about the future of the banks? Within their grip on the market, banks and credit-card firms want to be in a position to collect most of the fees from the users of mobile and contactless-payment systems But the new system could prove to be a "disruptive technology" as far as the banks are concerned If payments for a few coffees, a train ticket and a newspaper are made every day by a

commuter with a mobile, this will not appear on their monthly credit card statements but on their mobile phone statements And having spent fortunes on branding, credit-card companies and banks not want to see other payment systems gaining popularity It's too early to say whether banks will miss out and if so, by how much However, quite a few American bankers are optimistic They feel there is reason to be suspicious of those who predict that high-street banks may be a thing of the past They point out that Internet banking did not result in the closure of their high-street branches as was predicted On the

contrary, more Americans than ever are using local branches So, whether we'll become a totally cash-free society remains open to contention

Câu 35: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A Predictions of future payment methods B The increasing popularity of new payment methods C The absence of traditional payment methods D Japan's advanced forms of payment

Câu 36: Why does the author mention "a small flat-screen device" in the first paragraph? A to exemplify the e-cash system B to praise the e-cash system

C to criticize the e-cash system D to inform the e-cash system Câu 37: Which of the following is NOT true about the strong point of e-cash?

A reduced cost B no fraud C fewer mistakes D faster speed Câu 38: The word "embedded” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to

A isolated B manufactured C generated D integrated

Câu 39: The word "grip" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to

A power B success C wealth D range of branches

(147)

Trang 4/6 - Mã đề thi 101 Câu 40: The author mentions the case of commuters in the third paragraph to illustrate _

A the banks' cooperation with credit-card companies B a possible drawback of the system C the modern technology of the e-cash system D the transferability of the system Câu 41: The word "their” in the third paragraph refers to

A credit cards B high-street hanks C American bankers D Internet banking Câu 42: How does the writer seem to feel about the future of banks?

A neutral B optimistic C uncertain D pessimistic

D Not only are the standards of education good in this school, but it has maintained those standards over the years

Câu 44: No one but the experts was able to realize that the painting was an imitation It greatly resembled the original

A It was obvious that only a person with great talent could fake a painting so successfully B It was almost impossible for amateurs to realize that the painting was not authentic, though the experts could judge it quite easily

C The painting looked so much like the authentic one that only the experts could tell it wasn't genuine D It was hard for ordinary people to judge between the fake painting and the real one, but not for the experts

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions from 45 to 47:
