A.The function of the voice in performance B Communication styles C.The connection between voice and personality D The production of speech Question 37 What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen" in lines 8- 9?

A Laws governing the printing industry B Competition among printers C Types of publications produced D Advances in printing technology Question According to the passage, why did colonial printers avoid major publishing projects? A Few colonial printers owned printing machinery that was large enough to handle major projects B There was inadequate shipping available in the colonies C Colonial printers could not sell their work for a competitive price D Colonial printers did not have the skills necessary to undertake large publishing projects Question Broadsides could be published with little risk to colonial printers because they……… A required a small financial investment and sold quickly B were in great demand in European markets C were more popular with colonists than chapbooks and pamphlets D generally dealt with topics of long-term interest to many colonists Question The word "they" refers to A chapbooks B tales C jokes D pages Question 5.The word "antecedent" is closest in meaning to……… A predecessor B format C imitation D component Question Chapbooks produced in colonial America were characterized by……… A fine paper B cardboard covers C elaborate decoration D a large number of pages ENGLISH 12 READING Question The word "appealing" is closest in meaning to……… A dependable B respectable C enduring D attractive Question What were "steady sellers"? A Printers whose incomes were quite large B People who traveled from town to town selling Books and pamphlets C Investors who provided reliable financial Support for new printers D Publications whose sales were usually consistent from year to year Question The word "locale" is closest in meaning to……… A topic B season C interest D place Question 10 All of the following are defined in the passage EXCEPT……… A "Broadsides" B "catechisms" C "chapbooks” D "Almanacs" Task 3: 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 to 10 Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds When this short amount of time elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memory How did the information get there in the first place? Information that makes its way to the short term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area The brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also known as the working memory There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory The most accepted theory comes from George A Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven chunks of information A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information, such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by chunking, or classifying similar information together By organizing information, one can optimize the STM, and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term storage When making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many people engage in "rote rehearsal" By repeating something over and over again, one is able to keep a memory alive Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency to disappear When a pen and paper are not handy, people often attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before a person has the opportunity to make a phone call, he will likely forget the number instantly Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short term to long term memory A better way is to practice "elaborate rehearsal" This involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term memories Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable Retrieving information can be done by recognition or recall Humans can easily recall memories that are stored in the long term memory and used often; however, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by prompting The more cues a person is given (such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be retrieved This is why multiple choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization Question According to the passage, how memories get transferred to the STM? A They revert from the long term memory B They are filtered from the sensory storage area C They get chunked when they enter the brain D They enter via the nervous system Question The word elapses in paragraph is closest in meaning to: A passes B adds up C appears D continues Question All of the following are mentioned as places in which memories are stored EXCEPT the: A STM B long term memory C sensory storage area D maintenance area ENGLISH 12 READING Question Why does the author mention a dog's bark? A To give an example of a type of memory B To provide a type of interruption C To prove that dogs have better memories than humans D To compare another sound that is loud like a doorbell Question How theorists believe a person can remember more information in a short time? A By organizing it B By repeating it C By giving it a name D By drawing it Question The author believes that rote rotation is: A the best way to remember something B more efficient than chunking C ineffective in the long run D an unnecessary interruption Question The word elaborate in paragraph is closest in meaning to: A complex B efficient C pretty D regular Question Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage? A The working memory is the same as the short term memory B A memory is kept alive through constant repetition C Cues help people to recognize information D Multiple choice exams are the most difficult Question The word “cues” in the passage is closest in meaning to A questions B clues C images D tests Question 10 Which of the following best provides the important information in the bold sentence from the passage Incorrect answer choices leave out essential information or change the meaning of it A Prompting is the easiest way to retrieve short term memory after an extended period of time B A memory can be retrieved by prompting, in a case where it has been rarely used C It's easier to remember short term memories than long term memories due to regular prompts D Recalling a long term memory that is often used is easy, while forgotten memories often require prompting Task 4: 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 In the world today, particularly in the two most industrialized areas, North America and Europe, recycling is big news People are talking about it, practicing it, and discovering new ways to be sensitive to the environment Recycling means finding was to use products a second time The motto of the recycling movement is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" The first step is to reduce garbage In stores, a shopper has to buy products in blister packs, boxes and expensive plastic wrappings A hamburger from a fast food restaurant comes in lots of packaging: usually paper, a box, and a bag All that packaging is wasted resources People should try to buy things that are wrapped simply, and to reuse cups and utensils đồ dùng, dụng cụ Another way to reduce waste is to buy high-quality products When low quality appliances break, many customers throw them away and buy new ones - a loss of more resources and more energy For example if a customer buys a high-quality appliance that can be easily repaired, the manufacturer receives an important message In the same way if a customer chooses a product with less packaging, that customer sends an important message to the manufacturers To reduce garbage, the throwaway must stop The second step is to reuse It is better to buy juices and soft drinks in returnable bottles After customers empty the bottles, they return them to the store The manufacturers of the drinks collect the bottles, wash them, and then fill them again The energy that is necessary to make new bottles is saved In some parts of the world, returning bottles for money is a common practice In those places, the garbage dumps have relatively little glass and plastic from throwaway bottles The third step is being environmentally sensitive is to recycle Spent motor oil can be cleaned and used again Aluminum cans are expensive to make It takes the same amount of energy to make one aluminum can as it does to run a color TV set for three hours When people collect and recycle aluminum (for new cans), they help save one of the world's precious resources ENGLISH 12 READING Question What is the main topic of the passage?
