The three phases of the human memory are the sensory memory, the short-term memory, and the

long-term memory This division of the memory into phases is based on the length of time of the

memory

Sensory memory is instantaneous memory It is an image or memory that enters your mind only for a short period of time; it comes and goes in under a second The memory will not last longer than that unless the information enters the short-term memory

Information can be held in the short-term memory for about twenty seconds or as long as you are actively using it If you repeat a fact to yourself, that fact will stay in your short-term memory as long

as you keep repeating it Once you stop repeating it, either it is forgotten or it moves into long term

memory

memorization or when an idea or image enters your mind on its own

IV/ ( ID: 87764 ) 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

Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees‟ homes and offices For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a distant

site and transmit the material to their employers A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there

are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend

does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published "The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago Why hasn't telecommuting become more popular?

Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of

many managers These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager's responsibilities

It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept the opportunity Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office

Câu 19: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuters EXCEPT _

A the opportunities for advancement B the lack of interaction with a group

C the different system of supervision D the fact that the work space is in the home

Câu 20: The word "resistance" could best be replaced by _

A consideration B alteration C opposition D participation

Câu 21: How many American workers are involved in telecommuting?

A More than 8 million B More than predicted in Business Week

C Fewer than last year D Fewer than estimated in USA Today

A the manager of a group of telecommuters B a reporter

V ( ID: 88357 ) 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

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

Trang 15

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, Folk- 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

to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions

Global warming could cause drought and possibly famine in China, the source of much of Hong Kong’s food, by 2050, a new report predicts Hong Kong could also be at risk from flooding as sea levels rose The report recommends building sea-walls around low-lying areas such as the new port and airport reclamations Published by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the report, which includes work by members of the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, uses the most recent projections on climate change to point to a gloomy outlook for China

By 2050, about 30 to 40 per cent of the country will experience changes in the type of vegetation it supports, with tropical and subtropical forest conditions shifting northward and hot desert conditions rising in the west where currently the desert is temperate Crop-growing areas will expand but any benefit

is expected to be negated by increased evaporation of moisture, making it too dry to grow crops such as

rice The growing season also is expected to alter, becoming shorter in southern and central China, the mainland’s breadbasket The rapid changes make it unlikely that plants could adapt

“China will produce smaller crops In the central and northern areas, and the southern part, there will be decreased production because of water limitations”, Dr RikLeemans, one of the authors of the report, said during a brief visit to the territory yesterday Famine could result because of the demands of feeding the population - particularly if it grows - and the diminished productivity of the land “It looks very difficult for the world as a whole”, he said

Global warming is caused by the burning of large amounts of fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, which release gases that trap heal in the atmosphere World temperatures already have increased this century by about 6 degrees Celsius and are projected to rise by between 1.6 degrees and 3.8 degrees by 2100

Dr Leemans said China’s reliance on coal-fired power for its industrial growth did not bode well for the world climate “I think the political and economic powers in China are much greater than the environmental powers, and [greenhouse gas emissions] could accelerate,” Dr Leemans said “China is not taking the problem seriously yet, although it is trying to incorporate this kind of research to see what

is going to happen.”

The climate change repot, which will be released tomorrow, focuses on China but Mr David Melville of WWF-Hong Kong said some of the depressing scenarios could apply to the territory Food supplies, for instance, could be affected by lower crop yields “Maybe we could afford to import food from elsewhere but you have to keep in mind that the type of changes experienced in southern China will take place elsewhere as well,” he said Sea levels could rise as glaciers melted and the higher temperatures expanded the size of the oceans, threatening much of developed Hong Kong which is built on reclaimed land

Trang 19

Current projections are that sea levels worldwide will rise by 15 to 90 centimetres by 2100, depending on whether action is taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

“Hong Kong has substantial areas built on reclaimed land and sea level rises could impact on that, not only on Chek Lap Kok but the West Kowloon Reclamation and the Central and Western Reclamation -

the whole lot,” Mr Melville said, adding that sea walls would be needed Depleted fresh water supplies

would be another problem because increased evaporation would reduce levels Mr Melville said the general outlook could be helped if Hong Kong used water less wastefully and encouraged energy efficiency to reduce fuel-burning He also called on the West to help China improve its efficiency

Question 71.Overall, what sort of picture is painted of the future effects of global warming?

A: on balance things are going to be satisfactory

B: an article describing a response to a report

C: an article previewing a report

D: a report

Question 73 Mr David Melville suggests that in future more food could be imported into Hong Kong

He thinks these measures could be _

A: insufficient B: sufficient C: efficient D: inefficient

Question 74.The main point of paragraph 2 is to describe _

A: effects of changes in the climate of China on the growing season

B: future changes in the climate of China

C: projected future changes in the climate of China

D: effects of changes in the climate of China on food production

Question 75.The main point of paragraph 4 is to describe _

A: the causes and projected effects of global warming

B: global warming

C: the effects of global warming

D: the causes and effects of global warming

Question 76 Why does the writer add the information in square brackets in paragraph 4?

A: because, although they are not part of the original quote, the additional information given is necessary to understand the statement

B: because the writer wants to emphasize the meaning of these words

C: because the quote is from a second language user whose command of English is not perfect

D: because the writer is quoting from another source

Question 77 In paragraph 7, which point is Mr Melville NOT making?

A: criticising current safeguards

B: making a call for action

C: suggesting that reclamation areas arc at risk

D: suggesting that there is a potential disaster in Hong Kong

Trang 20

Question 78.How would you describe the Dr Leeman’s attitude towards China?

A: critical B: mainly favorable

C: admiring D: supportive in theory

Question 79.In paragraph 2, “negated” is closest in meaning to _

A: made ineffective B: made possible

C: reduced D: paid for

Question 80.In paragraph 7, “depleted” could be replaced by which of the following?

VI. ( ID: 88908 ) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from (46)to (55)

Animals have an intuitive awareness of quantities They know without analysis the difference

between a number of objects and a smaller number In his book " The natural History of Selboure " (1786

) , the naturalist Gilbert White tells how he surreptitiously removed one egg a day from a plover's nest ,

and how the mother laid another egg each day to make up for the missing one He noted that other species of birds ignore the absence of a single egg but abandon their nests if more than one egg has been removed It has also been noted by naturalists that a certain type of wasp always provides five - never four, never six - caterpillars for each of their eggs so that their young have something to eat when the eggs hatch Research has also shown that both mice and pigeons can be taught to distinguish between

odd and even numbers of food pieces

These and similar accounts have led some people to infer that creatures other than humans can

actually count They also point to dogs that have been taught to respond to numerical questions with the correct number of barks, or to horses that seem to solve arithmetic problems by stomping their hooves the proper number of times

Animals respond to quantities only when they are connected to survival as a species - as in the case

of the eggs - or survival as individuals - as in the case of food There is no transfer to other situations or from concrete reality to the abstract notion of numbers Animals can "count" only when the objects are present and only when the numbers involved are small - not more than seven or eight In lab experiments, animals trained to "count" one kind of object were unable to count any other type The objects, not the numbers, are what interest them Animals’ admittedly remarkable achievements simply do not amount to

evidence of counting, nor do they reveal more than innate instincts, refined by the genes of successive

generations, or the results of clever, careful conditioning by trainers

46. Why does the author refer to Gilbert White's book in line 2?

A. To indicate that more research is needed in this field

B. To contradict the idea that animals can count

C. To show how attitudes have changed since1786

D. To provide evidence that some birds are aware of quantities

47. The word "surreptitiously" is closest in meaning to 

A. occasionally B. stubbornly C. secretly D. quickly

48. According to information in the passage, which of the following is LEAST likely to occur as a result

of animals' intuitive awareness of quantities?

A When asked by its trainer how old it is, a monkey holds up five fingers

Trang 31

B. A lion follows one antelope instead of the herd of antelopes because it is easier to hunt a single prey
