Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the programs – Social Security – has become an American institution Paid for deductions from the paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it Social Security payment to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until 65, when the payments are slightly higher Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the number of eldrly Americans is expected to increase dramatically Policy makers have proposed various way to make

up the anticipated deficit, but long term solution is still being debated

In the year when Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistant programs These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is used at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 6 to 15

A fold culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals

Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and interpersonal relationships are strong Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly There

is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes Most goods are handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures,

as are social classes Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo-America is the Amish,

a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies till serve as a local transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles

The Amish’s central religious concept of Demut, “humility”, clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order

By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and constantly changing Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists, leading to the establishment of many specialized professions Secular institutions, of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy prevails Because of these contrasts, “popular” may be viewed as clearly different from “folk”

The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, made objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner

In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh The important feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained Even though it is very funny, a good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose

Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years In wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of social matters In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in influencing people in Europe and the United States

Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write Such cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons The cartoons themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way

In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not depend chiefly on telling jokes Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons

This is not their primary aim In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters,

Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible among the people

Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge They offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular country in which they live Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France, America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture

Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to the East and not vice versa By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan,

Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East

and the West

Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries The vast increase in the popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius’s famous saying “One picture

is worth a thousand words.”

Question 35: Which of the following clearly characterizes Western cartoons?

A Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness B Seriousness, propaganda, and attractiveness

C Humour, unexpectedness, and criticism D Originality, freshness, and astonishment

Question 36: Chinese cartoons have been useful as an important means of _

A educating ordinary people B spreading Western ideas

C amusing people all the time D political propaganda in wartime

Question 37: The major differences between Chinese cartoons and Western cartoons come from

their _

A purposes B nationalities C values D styles

Question 38: The pronoun “this” in paragraph 4 mostly refers to _

A a piece of art B an educational purpose

Question 39: The passage is intended to present _

A a contrast between Western cartoons and Chinese cartoons

B a description of cartoons of all kinds the world over

C an outline of Western cartoons and Chinese cartoons

D an opinion about how cartoons entertain people

Question 40: Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A Chinese Cartoons and Western Cartoons

B A Very Powerful Force in Influencing People

C An Excellent Way of Spreading Propaganda

D Cartoons as a Way of Educating People

A bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people in the world

B disseminating traditional practices in China and throughout the world

C illustrating the truth of Chinese great men’s famous sayings

D spreading the Chinese ideas and cultural values throughout the world

Question 42: The word “imbalance” in paragraph 6 refers to _

A the mismatch between the East cartoons and the West cartoons

B the dominant cultural influence of the West over the East

C the influence of the East cartoons over the West cartoons

D the discrimination between the West culture and the East culture

Question 43: Which of the following is most likely the traditional subject of Chinese cartoons?

A Jokes and other kinds of humour in political and social matters

B The philosophies and sayings of ancient Chinese thinkers

C The illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China

D The stories and features of the lives of great men the world over

Question 44: According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A Western cartoons always have a serious purpose B Language barriers restricted cartoons

C Cartoons will replace other forms of writing D Cartoons can serve various purposes

Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight In

1918, a new type of flu virus appeared Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and killed large numbers of people While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them have a few things in common

First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily Second, while they may kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly A good example of this would be the Marburg virus The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease In addition, it is deadly

About 70-80% of all the people who get the Marburg virus die from the disease However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread to a large number of people The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims,

so it had more time to spread

While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common

A how to prevent pandemic diseases B pandemic diseases

C They help the world grow quickly D They kill too many people

A diseases with no cure

B diseases that spread quickly and kill large numbers of people

C a deadly kind of flu

D new diseases like SARS or the Marburg virus

48 According to the passage, what causes pandemics?

A Changes in a disease that the body cannot fight

B Careless doctors who do not watch the spread of diseases

C Population growth that the world cannot support

D The failure to make new medicines

49 According to the passage, all of the following are true of the 1918 flu pandemic EXCEPT that

A it involved a new kind of flu virus

B it killed over 25 million people

C it was the last pandemic in history

D it took a little over a week to kill its victims

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

What I love about my job is the variety I get enquiries (việc điều tra) from people all over the world asking me how they should go about setting up their own website I’ve been asked about

so many subjects - anything from someone wanting to teach people how to throw boomerangs to another people selling paper flowers which they make at home in their spare time

Obviously with all the thousands of websites available at the click of a button, you want to create an impression with your website so that it becomes a must-see destination Not everyone is prepared, however, for the way in which a website can become so popular that it actually has to be closed down

When people first set up their websites they probably pay their web advertiser a monthly fee based on the number of hits (visitors) or page impressions their site receives If they can pay their monthly fee without it costing them too much, that is the best that most people hope for One guy, Pete Bennett, whom I helped, wanted to set up a one-stop shop to provide decent images of the world’s flags He’d been fascinated by flags since his boyhood and had no idea that thousands of other people share his passion Anyway, in one month his web page had over 1.5 million hits As a result his internet provider trebled (gấp 3) the fee that he was being charged He wasn’t a rich person and he couldn’t afford to spend that amount of money on a hobby without any benefit to him, so he decided to carry advertising on his site He found a company which specializes in smaller sites and adverts were added to the pages on his website So, although he doesn’t make a huge profit, at least his hobby provides him with a small income

If you have specialist skills or expertise, it can pay you to sell the products that people want

I helped one woman design a page to advertise the fact that she tells fortunes, based on the information that her clients supply her with If you want her to tell your fortune, you fill in a questionnaire online your age, date of birth, hobbies, interests and so on and for a small fee she e-mails you back your fortune You can print it out and it looks really good, decorated with moons and stars, your zodiac (hoàng đạo) sign and your birthstone I tried it myself and although I’m not sure I believe it, my future according to her is positive and exciting I also found out that for someone born in August, like me, the birthstone is a peridot (đá/ngọc peridot), a pale green stone which I’d never even heard of!

I also get a fair number of complaints from people e-mailing me to say that they can’t access the website When they click on the site a message appears on their screen saying ‘An error has occurred in the script (bản chính) on this page’ This usually happens when someone has tried to achieve fancy effects on their website by using programming techniques based on a scripting language This means that unless they really know what they are doing, whoever designed the site has probably made a mistake in their programming This is where people like me come in Most computer instruction guides make things appear quite straightforward, but unless you’re very skilled, you’re likely to run into problems It’s generally worth getting a professional to help you set

up your site in the first place otherwise people like me would be out of work And let’s face it, this is big business

A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker

The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance A

person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or

unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or

may belie them Here the participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy

or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernible by the acute listener Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly

specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture The motivation derived

from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills,

personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication

Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can

drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the

angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed

Question 45 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The function of the voice in performance

B Communication styles

C The connection between voice and personality

D The production of speech

Question 46 What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas

and feelings over and above the words chosen" in lines 8- 9?

A Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are

B The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words

C A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication

D Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas

Question 47 The word "Here" in line 9 refers to………

A interpersonal interactions B the tone

Question 48 The word "derived" in line 13 is closest in meaning to………

A discussed B prepared C registered D obtained

Question 49 Why does the author mention "artistic, political, or pedagogic communication" in line

14-15?

A As examples of public performance

B As examples of basic styles of communication

C To contrast them to singing

D To introduce the idea of self-image

Question 50 According to the passage, an exuberant tone of voice may be an indication of a

person's………

A general physical health B personality

C ability to communicate D vocal quality

Question 51 According to the passage, an overconfident front may hide…………

A hostility B shyness C friendliness D strength

Family Life in the United States

Family life in the United States is changing Thirty or forty years ago, the wife was called a

“housewife” She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children The husband earned the money for the family He was usually out working all day He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends

These days, however, more and more wemen work outside the home They cannot stay with the children all day Thet, too, come home tired in the evening They do not wnt to spend the evening

cooking dinner and cleaning up They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry So who is

going to do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?

Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it In these families, the husband and wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights

Then there is a question of the children In the past, many Fmilies got help with child care from grandparents Noe families usually do not live near their relatives The grandparents often are to far away

to help in a regular way

More often, parents have to pay for child care help The help may be a babysister or a day-care center The problem with thjis kind of help is the high cost It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well

Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for Many companies now let people with children work part-time That way, parents can spend more time with their children Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children For these men there is a new

word: They are called “househusband” In the United States more ans more men are becoming

househusband every year

Tahese changes in the home mean changes in the family Fathers can learn to understand their children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage They, too, may have a better understanding of each other

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 45 to 54

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading

aloud Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace One should be wary,

however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that

it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by

books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other By the end of the twentieth century,

students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were

inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader The social, cultural and technological changes in

A a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge

According to the best evidence gathered by space probes and astronomers, Mars is an

inhospitable planet, more similar to Earth's Moon than to Earth itself - a dry, stark, seemingly lifeless world Mars' air pressure is equal to Earth's at an altitude of 100,000 feet The air there is

95 percent carbon dioxide

Mars has no ozone layer to screen out the sun's lethal radiation Daytime temperatures may reach above freezing, but because the planet is blanketed by the mere wisp of an atmosphere, the heat radiates back into space Even at the equator, the temperature drops to -50C (-60F) at night Today there is no liquid water, although valleys and channels on the surface show evidence of having been carved by running water The polar ice caps are made of frozen water and carbon dioxide, and water may be frozen in the ground as permafrost

Despite the difficult conditions, certain scientists believe that there is a possibility of transforming Mars into a more Earth-like planet Nuclear reactors may be used to melt frozen gases

and eventually build up the atmosphere This in turn could create a "greenhouse effect" that would

stop heat from radiating back into space Liquid water could be thawed to form a polar ocean Once

enough ice has melted, suitable plants could be introduced to build up the level of oxyzen in the

atmosphere so that, in time, the planet would support animal life from Earth and even permanent human colonies "This was once thought to be so far in the future as to be irrelevant," said Christopher McKay, a research scientist at NASA "But now it's starting to look practical We could begin work in four or five decades."

The idea of "terra-forming" Mars, as enthusiasts call it, has its roots in science fiction But

as researchers develop a more profound understanding of how Earth's ecology supports life, they

have begun to see how it may be possible to create similar conditions on Mars Don't plan on homesteading on Mars any time soon, though The process could take hundreds or even thousands

A There is little liquid water B Daytime temperature are dangerously high

C The sun's rays are deadly D Night time temperatures are extremely low Question 10: According to the passage, the Martian atmosphere today consists mainly of

Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognised form of

pollution, it is very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals

is highly subjective and, therefore, variable Exposure to lower levels of noise may be sightly

irritating, whereas exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss Particularly in

congested urban areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes

physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed to

it

Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid,

and is, therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection

Noise causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes

accustomed Loud noises instintively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism,

including human beings In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict,

the skin pales, and muscles tense In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about

the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear, and some of the responses persist even longer

than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased

Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, insdustrial society, we are constantly responding

in the same way that we would respond to danger Recently, researchers have concluded that noise

and our response may be much more than any annoyance It may be a serious threat to physical and

psychological health and well-being, cause damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the

heart and stomatch We have long known that hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal health

problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of

noise as well Fetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they cry easily, and they are more

sensitive to gastrointestinal problems after birth In addition, the psychic effect of noise is very important Nervousness, irritability, tension, and anxiety increase, affecting the quality of test during sleep, and the efficiency of activities during walking hours, as well as the way that we interact with each other

Question 35: Which of the following is the writer's main point?

A Noise may pose a serious threat to our physical and psychological health

B Loud noise signal danger

C Hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal health problem

D The ear is not like the eye

Question 36: According to the passage, what is noise?

A Unwanted sound B A by-product of technology

C Physical and psychological harm D Congestion

Question 37: Why is noise difficult to measure?

A It causes hearing loss

B All people do not respond to it in the same way

C It is unwanted

D People become accustomed to it

Question 38: The word congested in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by _

A hazardous B polluted C crowded D rushed

Question 39: It can be inferred from the passage that the eye

A annoyance B disease C damage D danger

Question 41: The word accelerate in paragraph 3 is closest meaning to _

A decrease B alter C increase D release

Question 42: The word it in the first paragraph refers to _

A the noise B the quality of life C advancing technology D a by-product

Question 43: With which of the following statements would the writer most probably agree?

A Noise is not a serious problem today

B Noise is America's number one problem

C Noise is unavoidable problem in an industrial society

D Noise is a complex problem

Question 44: The phrase as well in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

A after all B also C instead D regardless

Question 45: It would be both noticed and appreciating if you could finish the work before you leave

A B C D

Question 46: Most country music songs are deeply personal and deal with themes of loves, lonely,

A B C D and seperation
