to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Loneliness is a curious thing Most of us can remember feeling most lonely when we were not in fact alone at all, but when we were surrounded by people Everyone has experienced, at some time, that utter sense of isolation that comes over you when you are at a party, in a room full of happy laughing people, or in an audience at a theatre or a lecture It suddenly seems to you as if everybody knows everybody else, everybody is sure of himself, everybody knows what is going on; everybody, that is, except you

This feeling of loneliness which can overcome you when are in a crowd is very difficult to get rid

of People living alone - divorced, widowed or single people - are advised to tackle their loneliness by joining a club or society, by going out and meeting people Does this really help? And what do you do

if you are already surrounded by people?

There are no easy solutions Your first day at work, or at a new school or university, is a typical situation in which you are likely to feel lonely You feel lonely because you feel left out of things You feel that everybody else is full of confidence and knows what to do, but you are adrift and helpless The fact of the matter is that, in order to survive, we all put on a show of self-confidence to hide our uncertainties and doubts So it is wrong to assume that you are alone

In a big city it is particularly easy to get the feeling that everybody except you is leading a full,

rich, busy life Everybody is going somewhere, and you tend to assume that they are going somewhere nice and interesting, where they can find life and fulfilment You are also going somewhere, and there

is no reason at all to believe that your destination is any less, or, for that matter, any more exciting than the next man's

The trouble is that you may not be able to hide the fact that you are lonely, and the miserable look

on your face might well put people off After all, if you are at a party you are not likely to try to strike

up a conversation with a person who has a gloomy expression on his face and his lips turned down at the comers So trying to look reasonably cheerful is a good starting point in combating loneliness, even

if you are choking inside

The next thing to avoid is finding yourself in a group where in fact you are a stranger, that is, in the sort of group where all the other people already know each other There is a natural tendency for people to stick together, to form 'cliques' You will do yourself no good by trying to establish yourself

in a group which has so far managed to do very well without you Groups generally resent intrusion, not because they dislike you personally, but because they have already had to work quite hard to turn the group into the functioning unit To include you means having to go over a lot of ground again, so that you can learn their language, as it was, and get involved in their conversation at their level Of course if you can offer something the group needs, such as expert information, you can get in quickly

In fact the surest way of getting to know others is to have an interest in common with them There

is no guarantee that you will then like each other, but at least part of your life will be taken up with sharing experiences with others It is much better than always feeling alone If all this seems to be a rather pessimistic view of life, you have to accept the fact that we are all alone when it comes down to

it When the most loving couple in the world kiss and say goodnight, as soon as the husband falls asleep, the wife realizes that she is alone, that her partner is as far away as if he were on another planet But it is no cause for despair: there is always tomorrow

Question 41: The usual advice for overcoming loneliness is to

A. join a club

C. try to forget everything

B. avoid crowds

D. get married

Question 42: People who have formed a group tend to

A. refuse to talk with newcomers

Question 43: You can feel isolated at a party because

B. You think that everyone else is arrogant

C. Nobody smiles at you

D. You think that other people are laughing at you

Question 44: In a city it is easy to believe that other people

A. have a better job than you do

C. lead a more interesting life than you do

B. have more money than you do

D. are too busy to talk to you

Question 45: Other people are unlikely to want to talk to you if

A. you interrupt their conversation

C. you talk too much

B. you tell them that you are feeling lonely

D. you look miserable

Question 46: When we start a new job, we try to hide our sense of loneliness by trying to

A. do our job very well

C. appear sure of ourselves

B. be as friendly as possible with other people

D. look cheerful

Question 47: The reason that people who have formed a group resent intrusion is that they

A. have already got enough people

C. would have to make an effort to include you

B. do not like miserable-looking people

D. think that you have nothing interesting to say

Question 48: According to the writer, if you have an interest in common with other people you are likely to

A. become friends with them

C. get over your loneliness

B. get to know them well

D. spend most of your time with them

Question 49: The word “fulfilment” in the passage is closest meaning to

to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Alexis de Tocqueville, the French political scientist, historian, philosopher and politician, is most famous for a four-volume book he wrote called “Democracy in America” He came to America in

1831 to study the American form of democracy and what it might mean to the rest of the world After

a visit of only nine months, he wrote a remarkable book which is regarded as a classic De Tocqueville had unusual powers of observation He described not only the democratic system of government and how it operated, but also its effect on how Americans think, feel, and act Many scholars believe he had a deeper understanding of traditional American beliefs and values than anyone else who has

written about the United States What is so remarkable is that many of these traits which he observed

nearly 200 years ago, are still visible and meaningful today His observations are also important because the timing of his visit, the 1830s, was before America was industrialized This was the era of the small farmer, the small businessman, and the settling of the western frontier It was the period of history when the traditional values of the new country were newly established In just a generation, some 40 years since the adoption of the U.S Constitution, the new form of government had already

the good and bad sides of these qualities

The first part of “Democracy in America” was written in 1831-32 and published in 1835 A highly positive and optimistic account of American government and society, the book was very well received

THE PERFORMING ARTS

In the past, British children were frequently encouraged to try out their performing skills for the benefit

of adults They did this by reading aloud, acting or _(40) _ a musical instrument As they (41) _ up they were taken to public places of entertainment – the theatre, opera, circus or ballet They looked forward to these _(42) _ with great (43) _ and would remember and discuss what they had seen for many weeks afterwards But nowadays television and computers

(44) _ an endless stream of easily _( 45) _ entertainment, and children quickly accept these marvelous _(46) _ as a very ordinary part of their everyday lives For many children, the sense of witnessing a very special live performance is gone forever

But all is not lost The (47) _ of a TV set may have encouraged a very lazy response from ( 48) _ in their own homes, but the (49) of those with ambitions to become

performing artists themselves does not seem to have been at all diminished And live performances in public are still relatively popular, albeit with an older, more specialist audience

culture The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts

attention, as For example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit Coded to refer to speech, the

potential for communication is very great Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain

meaning in and of themselves A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently

Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship

with the receiver‟s cultural perceptions In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages

Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver As

a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are based upon speech Radio, television, and the telephone are only a few

Question 50: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A Gestures

C Speech

B Signs and signals

D Communication Question 51: What does the author say about speech?

A It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors

B It is the most advanced form of communication

C It is necessary for communication to occur

D It is the only true form of communication

Question 52: According to the passage, what is a signal?

A A form of communication that interrupts the environment

B The most difficult form of communication to describe

C A form of communication which may be used across long distances

D The form of communication most related to cultural perception

Question 53: The phrase “ impinge upon” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

Question 54: The word “it” in paragraph refers to _

Question 55: The word “ potential” in paragraph 1 could be replaced by

A advanced B possibility C organization D signal Question 56: The word “intricate” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by

A inefficient B complicated C historical D uncertain Question 57: Applauding was cited as an example of

Question 58: Why were the telephone, radio, and television invented?

A Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols

B Because people wanted to communicate across long distances

C Because people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete

D Because people wanted new forms of communication

Question 59: It may be concluded from this passage that _

A only some cultures have signs, signals, and symbols

B signs, signals, symbols, and gestures are forms of communication

C symbols are very easy to define and interrupt

D waving and handshaking are not related to culture

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 from 60 to 64

In the mid – nineteenth century, the United States had tremendous natural resources that could be exploited in order to develop heavy industry Most of the raw materials that are valuable in the

manufacture of machinery, transportation facilities, and consumer goods lay ready to be worked into wealth Iron, coal, and oil – the basic ingredients of industrial growth – were plentiful and needed only the application of technical expertise, organizational skill, and labor

One crucial development in this movement toward industrialization was the growth of the railroads The railway network expanded rapidly until the railroad map of the United States looked like a spider‟s web, with the steel filaments connecting all important sources of raw materials, their places of manufacture, and their centers of distribution The railroads contributed to the industrial growth not only

by connecting these major centers, but also by themselves consuming enormous amounts of fuel, iron,

and coal

Many factors influenced emerging modes of production For example, machine tools, the tools used to make goods, were steadily improved in the latter part of the nineteenth century – always with an eye to speedier production and lower unit costs The products of the factories were rapidly absorbed by the growing cities that sheltered the workers and the distributors The increased urban population was nourished by the increased farm production that, in turn, was made more productive by the use of the new farm machinery American agricultural production kept up with the urban demand and still had surpluses for sale to the industrial centers of Europe

The labor that ran the factories and built the railways was recruited in part from American farm

areas where people were being displaced by farm machinery, in part from Asia, and in part from Europe Europe now began to send tides of immigrants from eastern and southern Europe – most of whom were originally poor farmers but who settled in American industrial cities The money to finance this

tremendous expansion of the American economy still came from European financiers for the most part, but the American were approaching the day when their expansion could be financed in their own “ money market”

Question 60: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The history of railroads in the United States

B The major United States industrial centers

C Factors that affected industrialization in the United States

D The role of agriculture in the nineteenth century

Question 61: The word “ themselves” in the paragraph 2 refers to _

A sources B centers C railroads D places

Question 62: According to the passage, all of the following were true of railroads in the United States in

the nineteenth century EXCEPT that

A they connected important industrial cities

B they were necessary to the industrialization process

C they were expanded in a short time

D they used relatively small quantities of natural resources

Question 63: Which of the following in NOT true of United States farmers in the nineteenth century?

A They lost some jobs because of mechanization

B They were unable to produce sufficient food for urban areas

C They raised their productivity by using new machinery

D They sold food to European countries

Question 64: The word “ ran” in the paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _

A operated B hurried C constructed D owned

I PHẦN TRẮC NGHIỆM (64 Câu; 8 điểm)

I Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks

The Planets of Jupiter

The largest of the giant gas planets, Jupiter, with a volume 1,300 times greater than Earth’s, contains more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined It is thought to be a gaseous and fluid planet without

solid surfaces, Had it been somewhat more massive, Jupiter might have attained internal temperatures as high

as the ignition point for nuclear reactions, and it would have flamed as a star in its own right Jupiter and the

other giant planets are of a low-density type quite distinct from the terrestrial planets: they are composed

predominantly of such substances as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane, unlike terrestrial planets Much of Jupiter’s interior might be in the form of liquid, metallic hydrogen, Normally, hydrogen is a gas, but under pressures of millions of kilograms per square centimeter, which exist in the deep interior of Jupiter, the hydrogen atoms might lock together to form a liquid with the properties of a metal Some scientists believe that the innermost core of Jupiter might be rocky, or metallic like the core of Earth

Jupiter rotates very fast, once every 9.8 hours As a result, its clouds, which are composed largely of frozen and liquid ammonia, have been whipped into alternating dark and bright bands that circle the planet at

different speeds in different latitudes Jupiter’s puzzling Great Red Spot changes size as it hovers in the

Southern Hemisphere Scientists speculate it might be a gigantic hurricane, which because of its large size (the Earth could easily fit inside it), lasts for hundreds of years

Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun Perhaps this is primeval heat or beat

generated by the continued gravitational contraction of the planet Another star like characteristic of Jupiter is its sixteen natural satellites, which, like a miniature model of the Solar System, decrease in density with distance from rocky moons close to Jupiter to icy moons farther away If Jupiter were about 70 times more massive, it would have become a star, Jupiter is the best-preserved sample of the early solar nebula, and with its satellites, might contain the most important clues about the origin of the Solar System

Question 1 The word attained in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

A Jupiter gives off twice as much heat as the Sun

B Jupiter has a weaker gravitational force than the other planets

C Scientists believe that Jupiter was once a star

D Scientists might learn about the beginning of the Solar System by Studying Jupiter

Question 9 Why does the author mention primeval heat in paragraph 3?

A To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the Sun

B To provide evidence that Jupiter is older than the other planets

C To suggest a possible explanation for the number of satellites that Jupiter has

D To suggest a possible source of the quantity of heat that Jupiter gives off

Question 10 Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?

A If Jupiter had fewer satellites, it would be easier for scientists to study the planet itself

B If Jupiter had had more mass, it would have developed internal nuclear reactions

C If Jupiter had been smaller, it would have become a terrestrial planet

D if Jupiter were larger, it would give off much less heat

Sample:

There are many ways for a child to get knowledge and to become a good member of the society Lots of people used to think that school is the best way to educate children, but nowadays they have changed their mind In my opinion, parents are the best teachers because they are those who understand their children most, they are always beside their children, and parents usually try to be good examples for their children to follow First of all, nobody can understand the children better than the parents do They watch over their children from the early time, so they know what their son or daughter is thinking exactly, and what their characters or

behaviors are Because of that, if the children make any mistakes, parents can more easily realize reasons and correct them on time After knowing what has been wrong with the children, parents then give useful advice to them It is the best way to teach and to explain what is right and what is wrong, what can be done and what cannot Thanks to their advice, the children can become more mature and stable Secondly, parents are always beside their children at any time In life, there will be moments that a person falls into difficulties or distress and it is parents who are always worried and take care of them, make them more optimistic about life

Moreover, the children’s personality can be best formed when they spend more time with their parents Every action from their mother or father will have a deep impact on how the children see the world and build up their feelings Because of that, they can realize the responsibility for their own children later In conclusion, the best teachers for children are their parents, who have taught them from the first lesson to many things in life with

all their love and caring Parents are always beside their children at any time, in any case and most

importantly, nobody can understand the children better than the parents do
