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 36 to 45
In early civilization, citizens were educated informally, usually within the family
unit Education meant simply learning to live As civilization became more
complex, however, education became more formal, structured, and comprehensive
Initial efforts of the ancient Chinese and Greek societies concentrated solely on the
education of males The post-Babylonian Jews and Plato were exceptions to this
pattern Plato was apparently the first significant advocate of the equality of the
sexes Women, in his ideal state, would have the same rights and duties and the
Trang 5same educational opportunities as men This aspect of Platonic philosophy,
however, had little or no effect on education for many centuries, and the concept of
a liberal education for men only, which had been espoused by Aristotle, prevailed
In ancient Rome, the availability of an education was gradually extended to
women, but they were taught separately from men The early Christians and
medieval Europeans continued this trend, and single-sex schools for the privileged
through classes prevailed through the Reformation period Gradually, however,
education for women, in a separate but equal basis to that provided for men, was
becoming a clear responsibility of society Martin Luther appealed for civil support
of schools for all children Al the Council of Trent in the 16th century, the Roman
Catholic Church encouraged the establishment of free primary schools for children
of all classes The concept of universal primary education, regardless of sex, had
been born, but it was still in the realm of the single-sex school
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, co-education became a more widely
applied principle of educational philosophy In Britain, Germany, and the Soviet
Union the education of boys and girls in the same classes became an accepted
practice Since World War II, Japan and the Scandinavian countries have also
adopted relatively universal co-educational systems The greatest negative reaction
to co-education has been felt in the teaching systems of the Latin countries, where
the sexes have usually been separated at both primary and secondary levels,
according to local conditions
A number of studies have indicated that girls seem to perform better overall and in
science in particular In single-sex classes, during the adolescent years, pressure to
conform to stereotypical female gender roles may disadvantage girls in
traditionally male subjects, making them reluctant to volunteer for experimental
work while taking part in lessons In Britain, academic league tables point to high
standards achieved in girls’ schools Some educationalists, therefore, suggest
segregation of the sexes as a good thing, particularly in certain areas, and a
number of schools are experimenting with the idea

A both sexes B on male learners C female learners D young people only

Câu 41: When the concept of universal primary education was introduced,
education
A was intended to leave out female learners B was intended for all the sexes

*Passage 1:
One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage
of clean water Having clean drinking water is a basic human right But acid rain,
industrial pollution and garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable
Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison Lake
Baikal in Russia is one of the largest lakes in the world It contains a rich variety of
animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that do not exist anywhere else in
the world But they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial
wastes which pour into the lake every day Even where law existed, the
government did not have the power to enforce them Most industries simply
ignores the regulations The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world’s water
surface But it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution Almost 16
countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles off shore
Water is free to everyone A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean
water in the world was limitless Today, many water supplies have been ruined by
pollution and sewage Clean water is now scarce, and we are at last beginning to
respect this precious source We should do something now

*Passage 2
The problem of the use of our natural resources may be divided into four parts
These deal with trees, soil, water and minerals In a sense, the first three are closely
related, for water is a great destroyer of soil, and trees are its great protectors
Trees need both soil and water to grow And water, to be of any real use, needs to
be kept by soil and trees Minerals are apart They exist where they are because of
the changing physical nature of the earth Man has no control over the creation of
the minerals, and once a particular supply has been used up, it is gone forever
Conservation programmes have been instituted by most governments to prevent
these four essentials from reckless waste and to start the long process of repairing
earlier damage to forests, soil and water supply

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 stories, a shopper has to buy products in
blisters 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 reuse cups and utensils Another way to reduce waste is to buy
high-quality products When low high-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 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 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 can 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

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system
was desperately in need of reform Private schools existed, but only for the very
rich There were very few public schools because of the strong sentiment that
children who would grow up to be laborers should not “waste” their time on
education but should instead prepare themselves for their life’s work It was in the
face of this public sentiment that educational reformers set about their task
Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no
excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated As Superintendent of
Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various
changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country He
extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of
teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries Although
these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system,
they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further strengthening
of the system

Trang 35Read 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
Archaeological records ― paintings, drawings, and carvings of humans engaged in
activities involving the use of hands ― indicate that humans have been
predominantly right-handed for more than 5,000 years In ancient Egyptian
artwork, for example, the right-hand is depicted as the dominant one in about 90
percent of the examples Fracture or wear patterns on tools also indicate that a
majority of ancient people were right-handed
Cro-Magnon cave paintings some 27,000years old commonly show outlines
of human hands made by placing one hand against the cave wall and applying
paint with the other Children today make similar outlines of their hands with
crayons on paper With few exceptions, left hands of Cro-Magnons are displayed
on cave walls, indicating that the paintings were usually done by right-handers
Anthropological evidence pushes the record of handedness in early human
ancestors back to at least 1.4 million years ago One important line of evidence
comes from flaking patterns of stone cores used in tool making: implements
flaked with a clockwise motion (indicating a right-handed toolmaker) can be
distinguished from those flaked with a counter-clockwise rotation (indicating a
left-handed toolmaker)
Even scratches found on fossil human teeth offer clues Ancient humans are
thought to have cut meat into strips by holding it between their teeth and slicing it
with stone knives, as do the present-day Inuit Occasionally the knives slip and
leave scratches on the users` teeth Scratches made with a left-to-right stroke
direction (by right-handers) are more common than scratches in the opposite
direction (made by left-handers)
Still other evidence comes from cranial morphology: scientists think that
physical differences between the right and left sides of the interior of the skull
indicate subtle physical differences between the two sides of the brain The
variation between the hemispheres corresponds to which side of the body is used
to perform specific activities Such studies, as well as studies of tool use, indicate
that right- or left-sided dominance is not exclusive to modern Homo sapiens
Populations of Neanderthals, such as Homo erectus and Homo habilis, seem to
have been predominantly right-handed, as we are
Trang 36
Question 61 What is the main idea of the passage?
A Human ancestors became predominantly right-handed when they began
to use tools
B It is difficult to interpret the significance of anthropological evidence
concerning tool use
C Humans and their ancestors have been predominantly right-handed for
over a million years
D Human ancestors were more skilled at using both hands than modern
humans
Question 62 What does the author say about Cro-Magnon paintings of hands?
A Some are not very old B It is unusual to see such
paintings
C Many were made by children D The artists were mostly
right-handed
Question 63 The word “depicted” refers to _
A written B portrayed C referred D mentioned
Question 64 When compared with implements “flaked with a counter-clockwise
rotation” it can be inferred that “implements flaked with a clockwise motion”
are _
A more common B larger C more sophisticated D older
Question 65 The word “cranial morphology” is closest in meaning to
A the form of crane B the form of the body
C the study of physical body D the study of the skull
Question 66 The fact that the Inuit cut meat by holding it between their teeth is
C the scratch patterns produced by stone knives vary significantly from
patterns produced by modern knives
D it demonstrates that ancient humans were not skilled at using tools
Question 67 The word “hemispheres” is closest in meaning to
A differences B sides C activities D studies
Question 8 Why does the author mention Homo erectus and Habilis in line 24-25?
Trang 37A To contrast them with modern humans
B To explain when human ancestors began to make tools
C To show that early humans were also predominantly right-handed
D To prove that the population of Neanderthals was very large
Question 69 All of the following are mentioned as types of evidence concerning
handedness EXCEPT _-
A ancient artwork B asymmetrical skulls
C studies of tool use D fossilized hand bones
Question 70 Which of the following conclusion is suggested by the evidence from
C Left-handedness was somewhat more common among Neanderthals
D Variation between the brain’s hemispheres was not evident in the skulls
of Homo erectus and Homo habilis
