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 43 to 52

Since the dawn of time, people have found ways to communicate with one another Smoke signals and tribal drums were some of the earliest forms of communication Letters, carried by birds or by humans on foot

or on horseback, made it possible for people to communicate larger amounts of information between two places The telegram and telephone set the stage for more modern means of communication With the invention of the cellular phone, communication itself has become mobile

For you, a cell phone is probably just a device that you and your friends use to keep in touch with family and friends, take pictures, play games, or send text message The definition of a cell phone is more specific: it is

a hand- held wireless communication device that sends and receives signals by way of small special areas called cells

Walkie-talkies, telephones and cell phones are duplex communication devices: They make it possible for

two people to talk to each other Cell phones and walkie-talkies are different from regular phones because they can be used in many different locations A walkie-talkie is sometimes called a half-duplex communication device because only one person can talk at a time A cell phone is a full-duplex device because it uses both frequencies at the same time A walkie-talkie has only one channel A cell phone has more than a thousand channels A walkie-talkie can transmit and receive signals across a distance of about a mile A cell phone can transmit and receive signals over hundreds of miles In 1973, an electronic company called Motorola hired

Trang 4

Martin Cooper to work on wireless communication Motorola and Bell Laboratories (now AT&T) were in a race

to invent the first portable communication device Martin Cooper won the race and became the inventor of the cell phone On April 3, 1973, Cooper made the first cell phone call to his opponent at AT&T while walking

down the streets of New York City People on the sidewalks gazed at cooper in amazement Cooper's phone was

called A Motorola Dyna-Tac It weighed a whopping 2.5 pounds (as compared to today's cell phones that weigh

as little as 3 or 4 ounces)

After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to make the cell phone available to the general public After a decade, Motorola introduced the first cell phone for commercial use The early cell phone and its service were both expensive The cell phone itself cost about $ 3,500 In 1977, AT&T constructed

a cell phone system and tried it out in Chicago with over 2,000 customers In 1981, a second cellular phone

system was started in the Washington, D.C and Baltimore area It took nearly 37 years for cell phones to become available for general public use Today, there are more than sixty million cell phone customers with cell phones producing over thirty billion dollars per years

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 from71 to 80

After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the

United States have started to face harder times Only Harvard's MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollment in recent years Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3

percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue

There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree The first one is that many

graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street,

or in other financial districts of major American cities Many of the entry-level management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees Students have asked the question, "Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting

a good job?" The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of level jobs being offered Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new

entry-demands

Question 71 What is the main focus of this passage?

Question 72 According to the passage, what are two causes of declining business school enrollments?

A declining population and economic prosperity

B fewer MBA schools and fewer entry-level jobs

C low salary and foreign competition

D lack of necessity for an MBA and an economic recession

Question 73 The word "cutting" in the passage could best be replaced by which of the following?

Question 74 Which of the following descriptions most likely applies to Wall Street?

Question 75 The phrase "two decades" refers to a period of _
