Another ways of (41) with the problem is to provide cheap parking on the outskirts of the city, and strictly control the number of vehicles allowed into the center Drivers and passengers then use a special bus service for the (42) stage of their journey

Of course, the most important (43) is to provide good public transport However, to get people to give up the comfort of their cars, public transport must be felt to be reliable, convenient and comfortable, with fares (44) _at an acceptable level

Question 41: A doing B handling C dealing D solving

(134846) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living

Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding

a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live Here are just a few of the factors to consider

Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision You may want to

begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses Think about the classes, hobbies and

surroundings that you find most appealing Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work?” There are no right

or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you Determine which job features you require,

which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept Then rank them in order of importance

to you

The setting of the job is one factor to take into account You may not want to sit at a desk all day If not, there is diversity of occupation – building inspector, supervisor, and real esate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields is concentrated in certain regions Advertising job can generally be found only

in large cities On the other hand, many industries such as hostels, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offer relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission

Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it Some industries evoke positive or negative associations The travelling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber

does not Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or

demerits that are less obvious Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas

plumbers can be as highly paid as doctors

Another point to consider is that as you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills

that may point the way to new opportunities The choices you make today need not be your final one

Question 45: The writer states that “There are no right or wrong answers” in order to

A emphasize that each person’s answers will be different

A agree on B bring to mind C be related to D differ from

Question 50: The word ”that” in paragraph 4 refers to _

A occupation B the travelling life C a flight attendant D commission

Question 51: It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that

B To contrast the reality of a flight attendant’s job with most people’s perception

C To show that people must work hard for the career as a flight attendant

D To discourage readers from choosing a career as a flight attendant

Question 54: According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A To make a lot of money, you should not take a job with a low staring salary

(134866) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer

Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals and high- quality protein, eggs, also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two- thirds of the suggested cholesterol limit This knowledge has driven egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs One alternative is eating substitute eggs These egg substitutes are not

really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked They have the advantage of having

low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching or boiling A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of egg, sometimes called “designer” eggs These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low- fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax and rice bran In spite of their diet, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans

Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly They cite scientific studies

to back up their claim And, in fact, studies on relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed result It may be that it is not the type of eggs that is the main determinant of

cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body’s production of blood cholesterol Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one’s intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level

Question 55: What is the main purpose of the passage?

A To introduce the idea that dietary at increases the blood cholesterol level

B To make people know about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol

C To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten

D To convince people to eat “designer” eggs and eggs substitutes

Question 56: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?

A Mineral B Cholesterol C Canola oil D Vitamins

Question 57: What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?

A Increasing price B Decreased production

C Dietary changes in hens D Concern about cholesterol

Question 58: What is meant by the phrase “mixed result”?

A The results are blended B The results are a composite of things

C The results are inconclusive D The results are mingled together

Question 59: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?

A Reducing egg intake but not fat intake B Increasing egg intake and fat intake

C Decreasing egg intake and fat intake D Increasing egg intake but not fat intake

Question 60: Which of the following could best replace the word “somewhat”?

A a lot B a little C indefinitely D in fact

Question 61: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested

daily limit for human consumption of cholesterol?

Question 62: The word “portrayed” could best be replaced by which of the following?

A studied B tested C destroyed D described

Question 63: What is the meaning of “back up”?

A reverse B advance C block D support

Question 64: According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of the following

types of eggs EXCEPT

A boiled B poached C scrambled D fried

Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished They learn social skills for interacting with other children After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers

Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the

brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more

interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences

There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning involve a

single stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste

In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills

B the need for certain experiences in various areas

themselves with the study of learning because they need to

A change the behaviours of the objects of their interest towards learning

B make the objects of their interest more aware of the importance of learning

C thoroughly understand the behaviours of the objects of their interest

D understand how a stimulus relates to the senses of the objects of their interest

Question 7: The word “retrieves ” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _

A recovers B gains C Creates D generates

Question 8: Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A Psychologists are all interested in memory as much as behaviours

B Psychologists studying memory are concerned with how the stored knowledge is used

C Psychologists studying learning are interested in human behaviours

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 65: If Mr Smith had known something / more / a little more / some more about the Internet, he

would have invested into some computer companies

Question 66: The tea was so hot that Peter couldn’t drink it

Question 67: I haven’t had my hair cut since I left her

Question 68: Tom apologised for not calling/having called Mary that morning

Question 69: No sooner had he arrived than things went wrong

Thông tin ở đoạn số 2:

- They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world (interpersonal communication: giao tiếp giữa các cá nhân): Chúng được học cách giao tiếp với cha mẹ, anh chị

em, bạn bè, và những người quan trọng với chúng

- They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished (right from wrong: phân biệt đúng sai): Chúng học được thái độ nào được thưởng và thái độ nào sẽ bị phạt

- They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments (life skills: các kĩ năng trong cuộc sống): Chúng dùng tất cả giác quan để học về thị giác, âm thanh, mùi, vị trong cuộc sống Và They learn social skills for interacting with other children: Chúng học được các kĩ năng xã hội

để tác động/giao tiếp với lũ trẻ khác

Chỉ có A literacy and calculation là không được nhắc đến

3 A

Thông tin ở câu cuối của đoạn 2: “After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major

changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.” (Mọi

người phải học cách thích ứng với những thay đổi chính có ảnh hưởng đến cuộc sống) = the changes to which people have to orient themselves: những thay đổi mà con người phải tự định hướng cho bản thân

4 B

Thông tin ở câu cuối cùng của đoạn 1: “It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in

school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout

their lives.”: (Mọi người thường nghĩ rằng học tập diễn ra ở trường học, nhưng nhiều quá trình học tập của con người diễn ra ở ngoài lớp học = It takes place more frequently in real life than in academic institutions (Học tập diễn ra thường xuyên ở thực tế hơn là ở các trường học)

5 A

Sự giải thích cho đáp án này được lấy ví dụ ở những câu cuối đoạn 3: “Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.” Mỗi người ở các lĩnh vực khác nhau cần học tập,

tìm hiểu về một khía cạnh, vấn đề khác nhau

Tức là: the great influence of the on-going learning process (sự ảnh hưởng của quá trình học tập đang diễn ra – học tập chuyên về vấn đề gì đó sẽ ảnh hưởng lớn từ quá trình học tập đó, ví dụ học tâm lý thì cần phải hiểu được những thay đổi trong hành vi con người…)

6 C

Thông tin ở câu cuối đoạn 3: “Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.” = “thoroughly understand the behaviours of the objects of their interest”: hiểu được thái độ của những đối tượng họ quan tâm (workers, voters, and consumers)

7 A

“retrieves ” = “recovers”: lấy lại, tìm lại được, phục hồi

8 A

Thông tin ở đoạn 4: “Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge,

where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast,

psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences.” Những nhà tâm lý học về trí nhớ thì quan tâm đến làm sao bộ óc lưu trữ các kiến thức, còn những nhà tâm lý học về kiến thức thì quan tâm đến thái độ hơn

Do vậy, đáp án A là không đúng (Psychologists are all interested in memory as much as behaviours.) Không phải tất cả các nhà tâm lý đều quan tâm trí nhớ như thái độ

9 D

Thông tin ở đoạn cuối: “A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses” Tác nhân kích thích là tất cả những gì

có thể nhận thức, nhận thấy qua các giác quan Tức là bears relation to perception (có sự liên quan đến sự nhận thức)

10 C

Bài văn chủ yếu đề cập đến general principles of learning: những nguyên tắc chung của học tập

Nội dung bài được thể hiện qua những câu chủ đề của mỗi đoạn:

- Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability…

- Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields

- Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain

- There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex

11 A

“erecting” -> “erected”

Vì chủ ngữ là vật (the Statue of Liberty) nên phải dùng dạng bị động

12 C

“that I realized” -> “did I realize”

Đây là cấu trúc đảo ngữ với Not until: “Not until + mệnh đề bình thường + mệnh đề đảo ngữ ( đảo trợ động từ lên trước chủ ngữ và động từ)”

13 B

“did Mathew look” -> “Mathew looked”

Đây là câu trần thuật, không phải câu hỏi nên không cần đảo trợ động từ did lên trước chủ ngữ

14 D

“loyalty” -> “loyal”

Ở đây ta cần một tính từ vì phía trước có be

“loyal” (adj): trung thành

“opportunity”: cơ hội

Hầu hết phụ nữ thời đó có rất ít cơ hội để học tập

“but”: nhưng, dùng để nối 2 vế đối lập của một câu

Chúng ta không có bản sao sách của bà ấy, nhưng chúng ta biết rằng bà đã viết nhiều tác phẩm toán học quan trọng

22 D

“invent”: tạo ra, sáng tạo ra

Hypatia cũng rất quan tâm đến công nghệ và sáng tạo nhiều dụng cụ để giúp ích trong công việc

23 A

Cụm “At the time”: lúc đó, khi ấy

24 B

“something”: những thứ…

“anyone” và “nobody” không dùng trong câu khẳng định

“all” thì không đúng, vì phía trước có từ many

25 C

Đây là câu dạng bị động trong quá khứ vì hành động này đã kết thúc trong quá khứ rồi

“was attacked”: bị tấn công

“sufferings”: nỗi đau khổ, sự đau khổ

Trái nghĩa là “happiness”: hạnh phúc, vui vẻ

- đoạn 2: “cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a

variety of social matters.” (criticism = comment)

37 B

Thông tin ở cuối đoạn 3: “many Chinese cartoon drawings in the past have also attempted to educate people” Công dụng chính của phim hoạt hình Trung Quốc là giáo dục mọi người

38 A

Sự khác biệt giữa hoạt hình Trung Quốc và phương Tây nằm ở mục đích của chúng

- In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh

- 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

39 B

“this” được thay thế cho a funny element trong câu trước đó: many Chinese cartoons are different from

Western cartoons in so far as they do not depend chiefly on telling jokes (yếu tố hài hước = telling jokes)

40 D

Bài văn giới thiệu về sự trái ngược giữa hoạt hình phương Tây và hoạt hình Trung Quốc trên phương diện mục đích, các vấn đề trong hoạt hình đề cập đến

Đoạn 1 và 2 là giới thiệu về hoạt hình ở phương Tây

Đoạn 3,4,5 là cụ thể về hoạt hình Trung Quốc

2 đoạn cuối là sự giao thoa và kết luận

41 D

Bài viết giới thiệu về hoạt hình phương Tây và Trung Quốc, vì thế tựa đề phù hợp nhất cho bài là Chinese Cartoons and Western Cartoons

42 A

Thông tin ở câu đầu tiên của đoạn 5: “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.” = spreading the Chinese ideas and cultural values throughout the world

43 B

“imbalance” được thay thế cho the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West

to the East (the dominant cultural influence of the West over the East) trong câu đầu tiên của đoạn 6

44 C

Thông tin ở đoạn 3: “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.” = The philosophies and sayings of ancient Chinese thinkers

Hoạt hình Trung Quốc thường nói về những triết lý hoặc câu nói của những người Trung Quốc xưa

45 D

Cartoons can serve various purposes: Hoạt hình có thể phục vụ nhiều mục đích khác nhau, như phương Tây mục đích chính là đem lại sự hài hước, Trung Quốc mục đích chính là giáo dục con người…

46 C

Cấu trúc so sánh càng … càng: The more adj…., the more adj…

Câu B satisfaction là danh từ, nên đáp án B không phù hợp

Cần phân biệt với result from: có kết quả từ, là kết quả từ…

55 D

Cụm “make up for st”: đền bù vào, bù vào cái gì đó

56 D

Câu này ở thì quá khứ nên động từ được chia là began

“begin to do st/doing st”: bắt đầu làm gì đó

- Bạn có phiền cho mình mượn xe không?

- Không, mình không phiền chút nào

58 C

“should + have + động từ phân từ II”: diễn tả lời khuyên về một việc đã nên làm trong quá khứ nhưng thực tế

đã không làm

59 D

Ở đây ta cần một trạng từ để bổ sung ý nghĩa cho tính từ inaccurate

“historically” (trạng từ): về phương diện lịch sử, theo phương diện lịch sử

60 D

Cấu trúc đảo ngữ nhấn mạnh tính từ: Adj +as/though + S + be (may/might be)

Cấu trúc nhấn mạnh này thường được đứng đầu câu, tách biệt ở một vế để nhấn mạnh tính chất, đặc điểm (tính từ) của chủ ngữ

61 D

Đáp án A,B, C không phù hợp vì có dấu phảy trước và sau

Đáp án D là đúng nhất, “who” là mệnh đề quan hệ, thay thế cho the scientist

62 D

Cuối câu có “in the 1970s” nên câu này ở thì quá khứ

Do đó, động từ continue cũng phải được chia ở thì quá khứ đơn (continued)

63 C

“Shall we…?” là một lời gợi ý, lời mời

Để đáp lại lời gợi ý đó, ta có thể sử dụng That’s a great idea

64 C

A và B sau đó danh từ được chia số ít không phải số nhiều, nên A, B không đúng

Nếu dùng all of thì thường phải có the trước danh từ

Đáp án C all là đúng nhất

Rewrite sentences:

Question 65: If Mr Smith had known something / more / a little more / some more about the Internet, he

would have invested into some computer companies

Câu điều kiện loại 3, diễn tả một hành động không xảy ra ở quá khứ: “If + mệnh đề quá khứ hoàn thành, S + would/could…+ have + động từ phân từ II+…”

Question 66: The tea was so hot that Peter couldn’t drink it

Cấu trúc “…so…that…”: đến nỗi mà… Dùng để nhấn mạnh tính chất, đặc điểm

Question 67: I haven’t had my hair cut since I left her

Trong thì hiện tại hoàn thành, since + mốc thời gian hoặc + một mệnh đề quá khứ ( vì hiện tại hoàn thành diễn tả một hành động bắt đầu trong quá khứ và kéo dài, có thể để lại kết quả ở hiện tại)

Question 68: Tom apologised for not calling/having called Mary that morning

Cấu trúc “apologise for doing st”: xin lỗi, nhận lỗi vì làm việc gì

Question 69: No sooner had he arrived than things went wrong

Cấu trúc đảo ngữ với No sooner: No sooner + had + S+ động từ phân từ II+…+than+ mệnh đề quá khứ đơn

Write a paragraph:

The role of women in society has been greatly overseen in the last few decades but now are coming to a more perspective to people Women have made vast improvements in their lifestyles in the past few decades from

families, the fathers help their wives to pick children up, organize the furniture of the house and even wash clothes or cook meals Women also take part in many social functions of the communities There are women ambassadors, ministers, women commander-in-chiefs and senators in Vietnam They even achieve high

(134710) 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

As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the

most important means of integrating immigrants into American society

The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the

century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling By 1920 schooling to age

fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened

Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and counseling extended

the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies

Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations Immigrant women were once such population Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home

Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American education gave homemaking a new definition In pre-industrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the

consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home,

in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States, however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children

"efficiently" in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others

Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date

Question 45 : The paragraph preceding the passage probably discusses _

A the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society in the nineteen century

B the urbanization in the United States in the nineteen century

C the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the 19th century

D the formal schooling in the United States in the nineteen century

Question 46 : It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing importance of

education in the United States was _

A the increased urbanization of the entire country B the expanding economic problems of schools

C the growing number of schools in frontier communities D an increase in the number of trained teachers

Question 47 : The word "means" in line 5 is closest in meaning to _

Question 48 : The phrase "coincided with" in line 7 is closest in meaning to _

C happened at the same time as D was influenced by

Question 49: According to the passage, one important change in United States education by the 1920's was that

_

A most places required children to attend school B adults and children studied in the same classes

C new regulations were imposed on nontraditional education

D the amount of time spent on formal education was limited

Question 50: “Vacation schools and extracurricular activities” are mentioned in line 9 to illustrate _

A the importance of educational changes B alternatives to formal education provided by public schools

C the increased impact of public schools on students

D activities that competed to attract new immigrants to their programs

Question 51: According to the passage, early-twentieth century education reformers believed that _

A different groups needed different kinds of education

B corporations and other organizations damaged educational progress

C more women should be involved in education and industry

D special programs should be set up in frontier communities to modernize them

Question 52: The word "it" in paragraph 4 refers to _

A homemaking B consumption C education D production

Question 53: Women were trained to be consumer homemakers as a result of _

A overproduction in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States

B economic necessity in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States

C scarcity in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States

D income-producing activities in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States

Question 54: The word “others” in paragraph 4 means _

(134721) 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

Our eyes and ears might be called transformers because they sense the light and sound around us and turn

them into electrical impulses that the brain can interpret These electrical impulses that have been transformed by

the eyes and ears reach the brain and are turned into messages that we can interpret For the eye, the process

begins as the eye admits light waves, bends them at the cornea and lens, and then focuses them on the retina At the back of each eye, nerve fibers bundle together to form optic nerves, which join and then split into two optic

tracts Some of the fibers cross so that part of the input from the right visual field goes into the left side of the

That được dùng như chủ ngữ khi đi kèm đằng sau nó là một mệnh đề, mà đối tượng muốn nhấn mạnh làm chủ ngữ chính là mệnh đề đó
