Tattooing : an ancient tradition

Tattooing is an old art In ancient Greece, people who had tattoos were regarded as members of the (31) ……… classes On the other hand, tattooing was banned in Europe by the early Christians, who thought that it was a sinful thing to do

It was not until the late 18th century, when Captain Cook saw South Sea Islanders decorating their bodies with tattoos, that attitudes began to change Sailors came back from these islands with pictures of Christ on their backs and from then on, tattooing (32) ……… in popularity A survey by the French army in 1881 showed that among the 378 men questioned there were 1,333 designs

Nowadays, not everybody finds tattoos acceptable Some people think that getting one is silly because tattoos are more or less permanent There is also some (33) ……… about (34) ……… a blood disease from unsterilized needles Even for those who do want a tattoo, the (35) ……… of getting one is not painless, but the final result,

Read the following passage on transport, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42

(1) The protozoans, minute, aquatic creatures each of which consists of a single cell of protoplasm, constitute a

classification of the most primitive forms of animal life They are fantastically diverse, but three major groups may be identified on the basis of their motility The Mastigophora have one or more long tails, which they use to project themselves forward The Ciliata, which use the same basic means for locomotion as the Mastigophora, have a larger number of short tails The Sarcodina, which include amoebae, float or row themselves about on their crusted bodies

Trang 4

(2) In addition to their form of movement, several other features discriminate among the three groups of

protozoans For example, at least two nuclei per cell have been identified in the Ciliata, usually a large nucleus that regulates growth but decomposes during reproduction, and a smaller one that contains the genetic code

necessary to generate the large nucleus

(3) Protozoans are considered animals because, unlike pigmented plants to which some protozoans are otherwise

almost identical, they do not live on simple organic compounds Their cell demonstrates all of the major

characteristics of the cells of higher animals

(4) Many species of protozoans collect into colonies, physically connected to each other and responding

uniformly to outside stimulae Current research into this phenomenon, along with investigations carried out with

advanced microscopes may necessitate a redefinition of what constitutes protozoans, even calling into question the basic premise that they have only one cell Nevertheless, with the current data available, almost 40,000

species of protozoans have been identified No doubt, as the technology improves our methods of observation, better models of classification will be proposed

(A) Colonies of protozoans

(B) Mastigophora

(C) Motility in protozoans

(D) Characteristics of protozoans

Question 37: The word “minute” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by

Few men have influenced the development of American English to the extent that Noah Webster did Born in West Hartford, Connecticut, in 1758, his name has become synonymous with American dictionaries Graduated from Yale in 1778, he was admitted to the bar in 1781 and thereafter began to practice law in Harford

Later, when he turned to teaching, he discovered how inadequate the available schoolbooks were for the

children of a new and independent nation

In response to the need for truly American textbooks, Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language, a three-volume work that consisted of speller, a grammar, and a reader The first volume, which was generally known as The American Spelling Book, was so popular that eventually it sold more than 80

million copies and provided him with a considerable income for the rest of life While teaching, Webster began

work on the Compendious Dictionary of the English Language, which was published in 1806

In 1807, Noah Webster began his greatest work, An American Dictionary of the English Language In

preparing the manuscript, he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages, and

seven more years to the writing itself Published in two volumes in 1828, An American Dictionary of the English

Language has become the recognized authority for usage in the United States Webster’s purpose in writing it

was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings, pronounciations, and

spellings from those of British English He is responsible for advancing simplified spelling forms: develop

instead of the British form develope; theater and center instead of theatre and centre; color and honor instead of colour and honour

In 1840 Webster brought out a second edition of his dictionary, which included 70.000 entries instead of the original 38.000 This edition has served as the basis for the many revisions that have been produced under the Webster name

Question 43: Which of the following would the best title for the passage?

(A) Compendious Dictionary of the English Language

(B) An American Dictionary of the English Language

(D) The American Spelling Book

Question 46: When was An American Dictionary of the English Language published ?

Trang 6

(A) To respond to the need for new school books

(B) To demonstrate the distinct development of the English language in America

(C) To promote spelling forms based upon British models

(1) Precipitation, commonly referred to as rainfall, is a measure of the quantity of water in the form of either rain, hail, or snow which reaches the ground The average annual precipitation over the whole of the United

States is thirty-six inches It should be understood however, that a foot of snow if not equal to a foot of precipitation A general formula for computing the precipitation of snowfall is that ten inches of snow is equal to one inch of precipitation In New York State, for example, twenty inches of snow in one year would be recorded

as only two inches of precipitation Forty inches of rain would be recorded as forty inches of precipitation The total annual precipitation would be recorded as forty-two inches

Trang 10

(2) The amount of precipitation is a combined result of several factors, including location, altitude, proximity to

the sea, and the direction of prevailing winds Most of the precipitation in the United States is brought originally

by prevailing winds from the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Great Lakes Because these prevailing winds generally come from the West, the Pacific Coast receives more annual precipitation than the Atlantic Coast Along the Pacific Coast itself, however, altitude causes some diversity in rainfall The mountain ranges of the United States, especially the Rocky Mountain Range and the Appalachian Mountain Range, influence the amount of precipitation in their areas East of the Rocky Mountains, the annual

precipitation decreases substantially from that west of the Rocky Mountains The precipitation north of the Appalachian Mountains is about 40 percent less than that south of the Appalachian Mountains

(2) All problems in interest may be solved by using one general equation that may be stated as follows:

Interest = Principal X Rate X Time (3) Any one of the four quantities – that is, interest, principal, rate, or time – may be found when the other three are known The time is expressed in years The rate is expressed as a decimal fraction Thus, 6 percent interest means six cents charged for the use of $1 of principal borrowed for one year Although the time may be less than,

equal to, or greater than one year, most applications for loans are for periods of less than one year For purpose

of computing interest for short periods, the commercial year or 360 days is commonly used, but when large sums

of money are involved, exact interest is computed on the basis of 365 days
