V READING COMPREHENSION (10pts)
Read the passages below and choose the best answer to each
question.
Passage 1 (5pts)
Sigmund Freud was not a literary theorist However, he did contribute to critical theory through both his theories and his use of art
to show that the application of psychology can extend to the highest forms of cultures Freud was always interested in literature, and he drew some of the best illustrations of his theories from classic poems and plays
Freud saw the unconscious as the impetus of both cultural and psychic activity Therefore, the same principles operated in both, and
that the same mechanisms – such as displacement and symbolization – applied While Freud was not the first to note the importance of the unconscious mind, he was the first to attempt a coherent theory of its operation and function He argued that the unconscious operates according to universal law, and is crucial to all aspects of mental life that involve fantasy, or diversion from reality From this point of view,
it is natural to apply Freudian principles to imaginative literature Writers transform individual, unconscious fantasy into universal art – a
kind of formal fantasy halfway between a reality that denies wishes
and a world of imagination in which every wish is granted
In focusing on the unconscious origins for literature, Freud was in
a sense reviving the traditional idea of divine inspiration [1] Philosophers and art theorists have often turned to such a theory of the
imagination to explain multiple meanings, repetition, and any
apparent disorder in art Similarly, psychoanalysis uses the theory of the unconscious to explain examples of “disorder’ in consciousness, such as dreams
[2] This analogy allowed Freud to suggest that fantasies called art could be interpreted in the same way as dreams Writers, as Freud noted, have always seen great significance in dreams In his view,
Trang 7portrayals of dreams in works of literature supported his own theories
about their structures, mechanisms, and interpretation For example,
the mechanisms of displacement and symbolization obviously resemble the literary devices of metaphor and symbolism.[3]
Critics of Freud have objected that the non-logical processes of the unconscious do not resemble the conscious effort that results in work of literature Freud would reply that while conscious thought is necessary to produce works of art, the creative sources of art remain in the conscious In this view, conscious activity merely obscures what is truly important in art What interested Freud were the deep unconscious structures literature shares with myth and religion, as well
as with dreams The apparent individuality of literature was not as significant as its ultimate universality [4]
1 Which of the following best states the main idea of the reading?
A The best way to understand the creation of literature is through
Freud’s theory of psychoanalysis
B Freud argued convincingly that both psychic phenomena and
literature may be interpreted with reference to the unconscious
C Creating works of literature is very similar to dreaming

2 According to the passage, which of the following is true of Freud?
A He was a literary theorist
B He has had an influence on literary theory

3 The word impetus could best be replaced by _
A source B opposite C form D reason
4 The word both refers to _
A displacement and symbolization
B repression and the economy of psychic expenditure
C cultural and psychic phenomena

5 The author uses the phrase formal fantasy in order to
Trang 8A describe the nature of literature B describe the nature of the
unconscious
C give an example of diversion from reality D give an example of a Freudian principle
6 Which is the best place for the following sentence?
“And like dreams, literary works can have more than one
interpretation.”
7 According to the passage, displacement in dreams is similar to
A symbolization B metaphor C symbolism
D repression
8 What possible objection to the passage’s main idea does the author discuss in the last paragraph?

conscious thought
B Freud claimed that art is created logically, but it really has
unconscious origins

paragraph 3?
A To emphasize the non-rational nature of art B To give examples of “disorder” in art
C To show the similarity between art and dreams D To give examples of divine inspiration
Passage 2 (5pts)
Another critical factor that plays a part in susceptibility to colds is age A study done by the University of Michigan School of Public
Health revealed particulars that seem to hold true for the general
population Infants are the most cold-ridden group, averaging more
Trang 9than six colds in their first year Boys have more colds than girls up to age three After the age of three, girls are more susceptible than boys, and teenage girls average three colds a year to boys’ two
The general incidence of colds continues to decline into maturity Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds annually One exception is found among people in their twenties,
especially women, who show a rise in cold infections, because people
in this age group are most likely to have young children Adults who
delay having children until their thirties and forties experience the same sudden increase in cold infections
The study also found that economics plays an important role As income increases, the frequency at which colds are reported in the family decreases Families with the lowest income suffer about a third more colds than families at the upper end Lower income generally
forces people to live in more cramped quarters than those typically
occupied by wealthier people, and crowding increases the opportunities for the cold virus to travel from person to person Low income may also adversely influence diet The degree to which poor nutrition affects susceptibility to colds is not yet clearly established, but an inadequate diet is suspected of lowering resistance generally

A minor diseases other than colds
B the recommended treatment of colds
C a factor that affects susceptibility to colds
D methods of preventing colds among elderly people

Trang 10C It contradicts the results of earlier studies in the field.
D Its results apparently are relevant for the population as a whole
4 It may be inferred from the passage that which of the following groups of people is most likely to catch cold?
C Teenage boys D Elderly women paragraph of the passage
5 There is information in the second which of the following
conclusions?
A Men are more susceptible to colds than women
B Children infect their parents with colds
C People who live in a cold climate have more colds than those who live in a warm one
D People who don’t have children are more susceptible to colds than those who do
6 The phrase “people in this age group” near the end of paragraph 2
refers to
A infants B people in their twenties
C people in their thirties and forties D elderly people
7 The author’s main purpose in writing the last paragraph of the
passage was to
A explain how cold viruses are transmitted

A cheap B crowded C depressing D simple

A a third of the colds that the families with higher income do
B fewer colds than the families with higher income
C as many colds as the families with higher income

The problem is, as the latest American research (3) _, all these favourite mood-swinging ploys are very ineffective In his new book, Robert Thayer, professor of psychology California University, (4) forward a new theory about what to do to change our moods and why There are a few surprises For instance, men, contrary to popular opinion, are actually better at dealing with their moods than women Not only that, but the time-honoured female techniques of (5) it all out to a friend or having a good cry are often a waste of time
His approach makes it possible to forecast moods and be much more precise about controlling them For instance, we all have a daily energy rhythm – on (6) _, we start low, build up to a (7) around midday, dip down, pick up a bit in the later afternoon and then tail off towards the evening So, because of the (8)
