A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which provides
information concerning how people think and act In the United States, the best-known surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll As anyone who watches the news during campaigns presidential knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States
North Americans are familiar with the many “person on the street” interviews on local television news shows While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate
indication of public opinion First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain
location Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory
workers, depending on which area the news people select Second, television interviews tend to attract
Trang 4outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel
intimidated by a camera A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely
reflect a broad range of the population
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of questions
An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results Even questions that are less
structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired Surveys can be
indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire
In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject’s underlying feelings and reasons However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent

A The principles of conducting surveys
B The importance of polls in American political life
C The history of surveys in North America
D Problems associated with interpreting surveys

A interviews B news shows C North Americans D opinions
Question 47: According to the passage, the main disadvantage of person-on-the-street interviews is that
they
A reflect political opinions B are used only on television
C are not carefully worded D are not based on a representative sampling
Question 48: The word "precise" in line 10 is closest in meaning to
A rational B accurate C required D planned
Question 49: According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important for an effective survey?
A An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings
B Carefully worded questions
C A sociologist who is able to interpret the results
D A high number of respondents
Question 50: The word "exercise" in line 12 is closest in meaning to
Question 51: The word "elicit" in line 15 is closest in meaning to
A rule out B bring out C predict D compose
Question 52: It can be inferred from the passage that one reason that sociologists may become
frustrated with questionnaires is that
A respondents are too eager to supplement questions with their own opinions
B respondents often do not complete and return questionnaires
C questionnaires are expensive and difficult to distribute
D questionnaires are often difficult to read
Question 53: According to the passage, one advantage of live interviews over questionnaires is that live
interviews
A minimize the influence of the researcher B are easier to interpret
C can produce more information D cost less

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 55 to 64

quarters The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each
beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of vary length
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system On the plus side, students who
wish to complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity
to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters In addition, although most students begin their
programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any other quarters Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used effectively to serve the greatest number of students But there are several disadvantages as well Many faculty complain that eleven-week term is
simply not enough for them to cover the material required by most college coursed Students also find it
difficult to complete the assignments in such a short period of time
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some
