Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of
communicating without using speech Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known
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
Trang 44
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

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
Dinosaurs were reptiles that lived during a period of earth’s history called the Mesozoic Era,
which is known as the Age of Reptiles The first dinosaurs appeared more than 200 million years ago For
many millions of years, they dominated the land with their huge size and strength Then about 65 million
years ago, they died out rather suddenly, never to reemerge
The word dinosaur comes from two Greek words meaning “terrible lizard” Dinosaurs were not
lizards, but their appearance could be truly terrifying The biggest ones weighed more than ten times as
Trang 5much as a mature elephant and nearly equaled the size of most modern—day whales The famous kinds
of dinosaurs, including the brontosaur and tyrannosaurus rex, reached 80 to 90 feet in length Not all
dinosaurs were giants, however, some were actually no larger than a chicken
Scientists still do not know what caused dinosaur to disappear One theory involves a change in the
earth’s climate It is believed that temperature dropped significantly towards the end of the Cretaceous
Period Too large to hibernate and not having fur or feathers for protection, it is possible that the climate
became too chilly for dinosaurs In contrast, other species having protection, such as the mammals and
birds, were able to survive

A The Domination of the Land B The Metabolism of Dinosaurs
C Earth’s Largest Reptiles D The History of Earth
Question 61: It can be inferred from the passage that the Age of Reptiles lasted about
A 200 million years B 135 million years C 80 million years D 65 million years
Question 62 : The author uses the phrase “never to reemerge” to indicate that the dinosaurs
A became extinct B went into hiding C never died out D lost their way
Question 63: According to the passage, what is true about the size of dinosaurs?
A It made them the largest creatures ever on earth B It varied quite greatly
C It guaranteed their survival D It was rather uniform
Question 64: Which of the following can be inferred about mammals and birds
A Most have either fur or feathers over their bodies B They preceded the dinosaurs
C They were too large to hibernate D They could not survive the chilly temperatures
