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
(5)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 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 36: According to the passage, the word culture A is related to the preparation and use of land for farming B derives from the same root as civilization does
C comes from a source that has not been identified
D develops from Greek and Roman literature and history
Question 37 : It is stated in paragraph that a cultured person
A has a job related to cultivation B does a job relevant to education
C takes care of the soil and what grows on it D has knowledge of arts, literature, and music
Question 38: The author remarks that culture and civilization are the two words that A are both related to agriculture and cultivation B have nearly the same meaning
C share the same word formation pattern D not develop from the same meaning
Question 39: It can be inferred from the passage that since the 20th century
A classical literature, philosophy, and history have not been taught as compulsory subjects B all schools and universities have taught classical literature, philosophy, and history C schools and universities have not taught classical literature, philosophy, and history D classical literature, philosophy, and history have been considered as core subjects Question 40: The word “attributes” in paragraph most likely means
A aspects B fields C skills D qualities
Question 41: The word “static” in paragraph could best be replaced by “ ”
(6)Question 42: Which of the following is NOT stated in the passage?
A The use of the word culture has been changed since the 19th century B The word culture can be used to refer to a whole way of life of people C Anthropology and sociology have tried to limit the references to culture D Distinctions have been drawn between culture and civilization
Question 43: It is difficult to give the definitions of the word culture EXCEPT for its A philosophical and historical meanings B sociological and anthropological meanings
C historical and figurative meanings D agricultural and medical meanings Question 44: Which of the following is NOT true about the word culture?
A It evolves from agriculture B It differs from the word civilization C It is a word that cannot be defined D Its use has been considerably changed Question 45: The passage mainly discusses
A the distinction between culture and civilization B the derivatives of the word culture
C the figurative meanings of the word culture D the multiplicity of meanings of the word culture

The issue of equality for women in British society first attracted national attention in the early 20th century, when the suffragettes won for women the right to vote In the 1960s feminism became the subject of intense debate when the women’s liberation movement encouraged women to reject their traditional supporting role and to demand equal status and equal rights with men in areas such as employment and pay
(9)1975 the Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when applying for jobs In the same year the Equal Opportunities Commission was set up to help people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to show where improvements in opportunities for women need to be made Women now have much better employment opportunities, though they still tend to get less well-paid jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in industry
In the US the movement that is often called the “first wave of feminism” began in the mid 1800s Susan B Anthony worked for the right to vote, Margaret Sanger wanted to provide women with the means of contraception so that they could decide whether or not to have children, and Elizabeth Blackwell, who had to fight for the chance to become a doctor, wanted women to have greater opportunities to study Many feminists were interested in other social issues
The second wave of feminism began in the 1960s Women like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem became associated with the fight to get equal rights and opportunities for women under the law An important issue was the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which was intended to change the Constitution Although the ERA was not passed, there was progress in other areas It became illegal for employers, schools, clubs, etc to discriminate against women But women still find it hard to advance beyond a certain point in their careers, the so-called glass ceiling that prevents them from having high-level jobs Many women also face the problem of the second shift, i.e the household chores
In the 1980s, feminism became less popular in the US and there was less interest in solving the remaining problems, such as the fact that most women still earn much less than men Although there is still discrimination, the principle that it should not exist is widely accepted
Question 71: It can be inferred from paragraph that in the 19th century, A British women did not have the right to vote in political elections
B most women did not wish to have equal status and equal rights C suffragettes fought for the equal employment and equal pay D British women did not complete their traditional supporting role Question 72: The phrase “gender gap” in paragraph refers to
A the social relationship between the two sexes B the visible space between men and women
C the social distance between the two sexes D the difference in status between men and women
Question 73: Susan B Anthony, Margaret Sanger, and Elizabeth Blackwell are mentioned as
A American women who were more successful than men B American women who had greater opportunities
C pioneers in the fight for American women’s rights D American women with exceptional abilities
Question 74: The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA)
(10)C was brought into force in the 1960s D was not officially approved
Question 75: In the late 20th century, some information about feminism in Britain was issued by
A the Equal Rights Amendment B the Equal Pay Act of 1970
C the Equal Opportunities Commission D the Sex Discrimination Act Question 76: Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A The US movement of feminism became the most popular in the late 20th century B The British government passed laws to support women in the early 20th century C The women’s liberation movement in the world first began in Britain
D The movement of feminism began in the US earlier than in Britain Question 77: The phrase “glass ceiling” in paragraph mostly means
A a ceiling made of glass B an imaginary barrier
C a transparent frame D an overlooked problem
Question 78: Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A An American woman once had to fight for the chance to become a doctor B British women now have much better employment opportunities
C There is now no sex discrimination in Britain and in the US
D Many American women still face the problem of household chores Question 79: It can be inferred from the passage that
A women in Britain and the US still fight for their equal status and equal rights B the belief that sex discrimination should not exist is not popular in the US C women not have better employment opportunities despite their great efforts D the British government did not approve of the women’s liberation movement Question 80: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

- In addition to + N/ Ving: ngoài… -> dùng quan hệ bổ sung.
- Even though (mặc dù) -> dùng quan hệ nhượng câu dùng “even though” thì khơng đủ nghĩa.
- No matter how: dù cho… => chọn B
Dịch: “ Dù bạn đối xử với anh nào, anh giúp bạn Anh thật rộng lượng.”

V Read the following passage adapted from A Briggs’ article on culture, Microsoft® Student 2008, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 45
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 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 36: According to the passage, the word culture
A is related to the preparation and use of land for farming B derives from the same root as civilization does
C comes froma source that has not been identified
D develops from Greek and Roman literature and history
Câu đầu đoạn 1: “Culture is…from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it” Question 37: It is stated in paragraph that a cultured person
A has a job related to cultivation B does a job relevant to education
C takes care of the soil and what grows on it D has knowledge of arts, literature, and music
(20)Question 38: The author remarks that culture and civilization are the two words that
A are both related to agriculture and cultivation B have nearly the same meaning
C share the same word formation pattern D not develop from the same meaning
Dòng + đoạn 2: “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.”
Question 39: It can be inferred from the passage that since the 20th century
A classical literature, philosophy, and history have not been taught as compulsory subjects
B all schools and universities have taught classical literature, philosophy, and history
C schools and universities have not taught classical literature, philosophy, and history
D classical literature, philosophy, and history have been considered as core subjects

A The use of the word culture has been changed since the 19th century
B The word culture can be used to refer to a whole way of life of people

X Read the following passage adapted from Cultural Guide - OALD, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80
The issue of equality for women in British society first attracted national attention in the early 20th century, when the suffragettes won for women the right to vote In the 1960s feminism became the subject of intense debate when the women’s liberation movement encouraged women to reject their traditional supporting role and to demand equal status and equal rights with men in areas such as employment and pay
Since then, the gender gap between the sexes has been reduced The Equal Pay Act of 1970, for instance, made it illegal for women to be paid less than men for doing the same work, and in 1975 the Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when applying for jobs In the same year the Equal Opportunities Commission was set up to help people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to show where improvements in opportunities for women need to be made Women now have much better employment opportunities, though they still tend to get less well-paid jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in industry
In the US the movement that is often called the “first wave of feminism” began in the mid 1800s Susan B Anthony worked for the right to vote, Margaret Sanger wanted to provide women with the means of contraception so that they could decide whether or not to have children, and Elizabeth Blackwell, who had to fight for the chance to become a doctor, wanted women to have greater opportunities to study Many feminists were interested in other social issues
(26)In the 1980s, feminism became less popular in the US and there was less interest in solving the remaining problems, such as the fact that most women still earn much less than men Although there is still discrimination, the principle that it should not exist is widely accepted
Question 71: It can be inferred from paragraph that in the 19th century, A British women did not have the right to vote in political elections B most women did not wish to have equal status and equal rights
C suffragettes fought for the equal employment and equal pay
D British women did not complete their traditional supporting role
Dòng 1+2: “The issue of equality for women in British society first attracted national attention in the early 20th century, when the suffragettes won for women the right to vote” => đến đầu kỉ 20 phụ nữ có quyền bỏ phiếu => có nghĩa kỉ 19 họ chưa có quyền bầu cử => chọn A
Question 72: The phrase “gender gap” in paragraph refers to
A the social relationship between the two sexes B the visible space between men and women
C the social distance between the two sexes D the difference in status between men and women
Gender gap: khoảng cách giới tính, phân biệt giới tính
Question 73: Susan B Anthony, Margaret Sanger, and Elizabeth Blackwell are mentioned as
A American women who were more successful than men
B American women who had greater opportunities
C pioneers in the fight for American women’s rights D American women with exceptional abilities

A The US movement of feminism became the most popular in the late 20th century
B The British government passed laws to support women in the early 20th century
C The women’s liberation movement in the world first began in Britain
(27)A sai: most popular -> less popular (đoạn 5) B sai: early 20th century -> late 20th century (đoạn 2)
C sai: phong trào giải phóng phụ nữ bắt đầu Anh vào đầu kỉ 20 (đoạn 1) Mĩ vào kỉ 19 (đoạn 3) => D đúng.
Question 77: The phrase “glass ceiling” in paragraph mostly means
A a ceiling made of glass B an imaginary barrier
C a transparent frame D an overlooked problem
Sau cụm từ “glass ceiling” có mệnh đề quan hệ bổ nghĩa “that prevents them from having high-level jobs.” => có thề đốn nghĩa cụm từ “an imaginary barrier”
