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.

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly

meant reading aloud Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.

One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.

The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers As the number of readers increases, the number of potential listeners decline and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers.

Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should

be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some mentally weakening Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed

mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialized readership on the other.

By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to

books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader.

The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term

“reading” implied.

Question 36 Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because

A few people could read to themselves.

B people relied on reading for entertainment.

C there were few places available for private reading

D silent reading had not been discovered

Question 37 The word “commonplace” in the first paragraph mostly means

A attracting attention B for everybody’s use

C most preferable D widely used

Question 38 The development of silent reading during the last century indicated

A an increase in the number of books B an increase in the average age of readers.

C a change in the nature of reading D a change in the status of literate people.

Question 39 Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of

A the increase in literacy B the decreasing number of listeners

C the decreasing need to read aloud D the development of libraries

Question 40 The phrase “a specialized readership” in paragraph 4 mostly means

A a reading volume for particular professionals.

B a status for reader specialized in mass media.

C a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge

D a limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge

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.

For many people who live in cities, parks are an important part of the landscape They provide

a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a refuge from the often harsh environment of a city What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits

One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide—a key pollutant—and emit oxygen, which humans need to breathe According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount

of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving Parks also make cities cooler Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal, concrete, and asphalt absorb much more of the sun’s heat and release it much more quickly than organic surfaces like trees and grass Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas Parks and other green spaces help

to mitigate the Urban Heat Island Effect

Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks because most land is already being used for buildings, roads, parking lots, and other essential parts of the urban environment However, cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years Some rooftop gardens are very complex and require complicated engineering, but others are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.

Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban park and garden spaces, but without taking up the much-needed land Like parks, rooftop gardens help to replace carbon dioxide in the air with nourishing oxygen They also help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect, which can save people money In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills In the winter, gardens help hold in the heat that materials like brick and concrete radiate so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills Rooftop vegetable and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city dwellers, saving them money and making their diets healthier Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy, they are also a smart environmental investment.

Question 46 Based on its use in paragraph 2, it can be inferred that mitigate belongs to which of the

following word groups?

A allay, alleviate, reduce B absorb, intake, consume

C exacerbate, aggravate, intensify D obliterate, destroy, annihilate

Question 47 Using the information in paragraph 2 as a guide, it can be inferred that _.

A most people prefer parks to rooftop gardens

B most people prefer life in the country over life in the city

C cities with rooftop gardens are cooler than those without rooftop gardens

D some plants are not suitable for growth in rooftop gardens

Question 48 Based on the information in paragraph 3, which of the following best describes the main difference between parks and rooftop gardens?

A Parks absorb heat while rooftop gardens do not

B Parks require much space while rooftop gardens do not

C Parks are expensive to create while rooftop gardens are not

D Parks are public while rooftop gardens are private

Question 49 The author’s tone in the passage is best described as _.

A informative B argumentative C descriptive D passionate

Question 50 Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?

Trang 5

A A thesis is presented and then supported C A proposal is evaluated and alternatives are explored.

B A hypothesis is stated and then analyzed D A viewpoint is established and then defended
