Question II Read the following passage and then choose the most suitable word or phrase for each space Write the answers on your answer sheet (10pts)
INFLUENCES OF TELEVISION
Television has changed the (61) of people in every industrialized country in the world In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting (62) have been made
TV, although not essential, has become an integral part of most people’s lives It has become a baby- sitter, an initiator of conversations, a major (63) of culture, and a keeper
of traditions (64) when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that TV is not a teacher but a sustainer The poor quality of programs does not elevate people (65) greater understanding, but rather maintains and encourages the status quo
The primary reason for the lack of quality in American TV is related to both the history
of TV development and the (66) of TV TV in American began with the radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with TV Therefore, the close relationship, which the advertisers had with radio programs improved, and (67) actually produced the programs Thus, coming from the capitalistic, profit - oriented sector of American society, TV is primarily (68) reflecting and attracting society rather than innovating and experimenting with new ideas Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible; to do so (69) that the programs be entertaining rather than challenging
TV in America today remains, to a large extent, with the same organization and standards (70) it had thirty years ago The hope for some evolution and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the entire system
68 A concerned with B related to C responsible for D keen on
Trang 669 A expects B requires C thinks D suggests
Question III Read the passage and choose the best answers to questions below Write the answers on your answer sheet (10 pts)
In the early days of the United States, postal charges were paid by the recipients and charges varied with the distance carried In 1825, the United States Congress permitted local postmasters to give letters to mail carriers for home delivery, but these carriers received no government salary and their entire compensation depended on what they were paid by the recipients of individual letters
In 1847 the United States Post Office Department adopted the idea of a postage stamp, which of course simplified the payment for postal service but caused grumbling by those who did not like to prepay Besides, the stamp covered only delivery to the post office and did not include carrying it to a private address In Philadelphia, for example, with a population of 150.000, people still had to go to the post office to get their mail The confusion and congestion
of individual citizens looking for their letters was itself enough to discourage use of the mail It
is no wonder that, during the years of these cumbersome arrangements, private letter - carrying and express businesses developed Although their activities were only semi-legal, they thrived,
and actually advertised that between Boston and Philadelphia they were a half - day speedier than the government mail The government postal service lost volume to private competition and was not able to handle efficiently even the business it had
Finally, in 1863, Congress provided that the mail carriers who delivered the mail from the post offices to private addresses should receive a government salary, and that there should be
no extra charge for that delivery But this delivery service was at first confined to cities, and
free home delivery became a mark of urbanism As late as 1887, a town had to have 10.000 people to be eligible for free home delivery In 1890, of the 75 million people in the United States, fewer than 20 million had mail delivered free to their doors The rest, nearly three-quarters of the population, still received no mail unless they went to their post office

A The increased use of private mail services
B The development of a government postal system
C A comparison of urban and rural postal services
D The history of postage stamps
72 It can be inferred from the first paragraph that in the United States in the early 19th century
A the recipient had to pay to receive the letters
B the recipient paid the same for all kinds of letters
Trang 7C postage stamps for letters came into use
D the mail carriers earned a lot of money from the government
73 Which of the following was seen as a disadvantage of the postage stamp?
A It had to be purchased by the sender in advance
B It increased the cost of mail delivery
C It was difficult to affix to letters
D It was easy to counterfeit
74 Why does the author mention the city to Philadelphia?
A It was the site of the first post office in the United States
B Its postal service was inadequate for its population
C It was the largest city in the United States in 1847
D It was commemorated by the first United States postage stamp
75 The private postal services of the 19th century claimed that they could do which of the following better than the government?
A Deliver a higher volume of mail B Deliver mail more cheaply
76 The word “they” in the second paragraph refers to

78 In 1863 the United States government began providing which of the following to mail carriers?
