I PHẦN TRẮC NGHIỆM : TỪ QUESTION 1 ĐẾN QUESTION 64 (8 điểm)

Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction in each of the following questions.

Question 1:Next week, when there will be an English club held here, I will give you more information

A considerable body of research has demonstrated a correlation between birth order and aspects such as

temperament and behavior, and some psychologists believe that birth order significantly affects thedevelopment of personality Psychologist Alfred Adler was a pioneer in the study of the relationship

between birth order and personality A key point in his research and in the hypothesis that he developed based on it was that it was not the actual numerical birth position that affected personality; instead, it was the

similar responses in large numbers of families to children in specific birth order positions that had an effect.For example, first-borns, who have their parents to themselves initially and do not have to deal with siblings

in the first part of their lives, tend to have their first socialization experiences with adults and therefore tend

to find the process of peer socialization more difficult In contrast, later-born children have to deal withsiblings from the first moment of their lives and therefore tend to have stronger socialization skills

Numerous studies since Adler’s have been conducted on the effect of birth order and personality Thesestudies have tended to classify birth order types into four different categories: first-born, second-born and/ormiddle, last, and only child

Studies have consistently shown that first-born children tend to exhibit similar, positive and negative

personality traits First-borns have consistently been linked with academic achievement in various studies;

in one study, the number of National Merit scholarship winners who are first-borns was found to be equal to

the number of second-and third-borns combined First-borns have been found to be more responsible and

assertive than those born in other birth-order positions and tend to rise to positions of leadership more often than others; more first-borns have served in the U.S Congress and as U.S presidents than have those born

in other birth-order positions However, studies have shown that first-borns tend to be more subject to stress

and were considered problem children more often than later-borns

Second-born and/or middle children demonstrate markedly different tendencies from first-borns Theytend to feel inferior to the older child or children because it is difficult for them to comprehend that theirlower level of achievement is a function of age rather than ability, and they often try to succeed in areas

other than those in which their older sibling or siblings excel They tend to be more trusting, accepting, and

focused on others than the more self-centered first-borns, and they tend to have a comparatively higher level

of success in team sports than do first-borns or only children, who more often excel in individual sports The last-born child is the one who tends to be the eternal baby of the family and thus often exhibits astrong sense of security Last-borns collectively achieve the highest degree of social success and demonstratethe highest levels of self-esteem of all the birth-order positions They often exhibit less competitiveness thanolder brothers and sisters and are more likely to take part in less competitive group games or in socialorganizations such as sororities and fraternities

Only children tend to exhibit some of the main characteristics of first-borns and some of thecharacteristics of last-borns Only children tend to exhibit the strong sense of security and self-esteem

exhibited by last-borns while, like first-borns, they are more achievement oriented and more likely than

middle-or last-borns to achieve academic success However, only children tend to have the most problemsestablishing close relationships and exhibit a lower need for affiliation than other children

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 following questions

In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related A theory often

involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced A

good example of this is found in the kineticmolecular theory, in which gases are pictured as being made up

of many small particles that are in constant motion

A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observation, helps to predict events that have not as yetbeen observed After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory If

observations confirm the scientists' predictions, the theory is supported If observations do not confirm the

predictions, the scientists must search further There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory mayhave to be revised or rejected

Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and performingexperiments Facts by themselves are not science As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare said: "Science

is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house."

Most scientists start an investigation by finding out what other scientists have learned about a particularproblem After known facts have been gathered, the scientist comes to the part of the investigation thatrequires considerable imagination Possible solutions to the problem are formulated These possible

solutions are called hypotheses In a way, any hypothesis is a leap into the unknown It extends the

scientist's thinking beyond the known facts The scientist plans experiments, performs calculations, andmakes observations to test hypotheses For without hypotheses, further investigation lacks purpose anddirection When hypotheses are confirmed, they are incorporated into theories

Question 36: Which of the following is the main subject of the passage?

A The importance of models in scientific theories.

B The sorts of facts that scientists find most interesting.

C The ways that scientists perform different types of experiments.

D The place of theory and hypothesis in scientific investigation.

Question 39:According to the second paragraph, a useful theory is one that helps scientists to _.

Question 40:The word "supported" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .

A upheld B finished C adjusted D investigated

Question 41:“Bricks” are mentioned in paragraph 3 to indicate how .

A science is more than a collection of facts

B scientific experiments have led to improved technology

C mathematicians approach science

D building a house is like performing experiments

Question 42:In the fourth paragraph, the author implies that imagination is most important to scientists

when they

A formulate possible solutions to a problem B evaluate previous work on a problem

Question 43:In paragraph 4, the author refers to a hypothesis as "a leap into the unknown” in order to

show that hypotheses

A require effort to formulate B can lead to dangerous results

C go beyond available facts D are sometimes ill-conceived

Question 44:In the last paragraph, what does the author imply is a major function of hypotheses ?

B Communicating a scientist's thoughts to others.

C Providing direction for scientific research.

D Sifting through known facts.
