Mass media is a significant force in modern culture, particularly in America Sociologists refer to this as a mediated culture where media reflects and creates the culture Communities and
individuals are bombarded constantly with messages from a multitude of sources including TV,
billboards, and magazines, to name a few These messages promote not only products, but moods, attitudes, and a sense of what is and is not important Mass media makes possible the concept of celebrity: without the ability movies, magazines, and news media to reach across thousands of miles people could not become famous In fact, only political and business leaders, as well as the few notorious outlaws, were famous in the past Only in recent times have actors, singers, and other social elites become celebrities or stars
The current level of media saturation has not always existed As recently as the 1960s and 1970s and 1970s, television, for example, consisted of primarily three networks, public broadcasting, and
a few local independent stations These channels aimed their programming primarily at two-parent, middle-class families Even so, some middle-class households did not even own a television Today, one can find a television in the poorest of homes, and multiple TVs in most middle-class homes Not only has availability increased, but programming is increasingly diverse with shows aimed to please all ages incomes, backgrounds, and attitudes This widespread availability and exposure makes television the primary focus of most mass-media discussions More recently, the Internet has increased its role exponentially as more businesses and households sign on Although
TV and the Internet have dominated the mass media, movies and
magazines-particularly those lining the aisles at grocery checkout stands-also play a powerful role in culture,
as do other forms of media
What role does mass media play? Legislatures, media executives, local school officials and sociologists have all debated this controversial question While opinions vary as to the extent and type of influence the mass media wields, all sides agree that mass media is a permanent part of modern culture Three main sociological perspectives on the role of media exist: the limited-effects theory, the class-dominant theory, and the culturalist theory

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 that follow
Many people see large urban cities as a wonder of human imagination and creativity They represent how far the human population has come in terms of community development Despite its positive things, there are also negatives from urbanization on the physical health of humans living
As it would be expected, developing countries tend to see more negative physical health effects than modern countries in regard to urbanization One example of a developing country experiencing these problems is China China is a country that in the past 30-40 years went from
Trang 13being an agrarian based society to a significant industrialized country This industrialization has
in effect caused the need for more centralized cities, centralized meaning having lots of jobs and living spaces within a close proximity In most recent decades, since China's change to being more
of an industrial based economy, the country has experienced record high numbers of people migrating within its borders In effect, the number of cities with over 500,000 people has more than doubled These migrations are typically of people from rural areas of China moving to the new urban areas Due to this large influx in the urban population, there are many possibilities for health challenges among these people
One very common and fairly obvious negative aspect of highly congested urban areas is air
pollution It could include particulate matter, most commonly attributed to industrial plants and refineries waste, or chemicals like CO2 or Methane Due to a vast number of people in these urbanized cities, the air pollution is known to be very extreme These conditions can lead to many different health problems such as: Asthma, cardiovascular problems or disease When exposed to these conditions for a prolonged period of time, one can experience even more detrimental health effects like: the acceleration of aging, loss of lung capacity and health, being more susceptible to respiratory diseases, and a shortened life span
Another way that urbanization affects the populations' health is people's change in diet For instance, urban cities tend to have lots of accessible, quick, and easy to get food This food is also more than likely not as high quality as well as contains a large amount of sodium and sugar
Because this food is so accessible, people tend to eat it more This increase in consumption of
low-quality food can then lead to diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, obesity, or many other health conditions
44 The word "it" in the last paragraph refers to ?
A food B quality C sodium D sugar
45 The word "agrarian" in paragraph 2 mostly means
A city B modernizing C farming D industry
46 What can be inferred from the passage?
A Living in urban areas for a long time will certainly make the life expectancy of inhabitants
D One of the negative health effects comes from the overpopulation in industrialized countries
47 The following are the air pollution sources mentioned in paragraph 3, EXCEPT _
A refineries waste B industrial plants C sewage D chemicals
48 The word "congested" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _
A sparse B fresh C contaminated D overcrowded
49 Why are urban populations easy to get diseases from food, according to the last paragraph?
A Because of the low quality and the high proportion of sodium and sugar in this food
B Because the way people get this food is rather accessible, quick and easy
Trang 14C Because this food is so delicious that people have a tendency to eat more than normal
D Because of the change in people's diet
50 Which of the following could be served as the best title for the passage?
A Urban cities - The new opportunity for community development
B Urbanization - How people's health is impacted?
