ACADEMICS AREN’T THE PROBLEM
Studies about how students use their time might shed light on whether they face increased academic and financial pressures compared with earlier eras.
Based on data about how students are spending time, academic or financial pressures don’t seem to be greater now than a generation ago.
The data show that full-time students in all types of colleges study much less now than they did
a generation ago - a full 10 hours a week less Students are also receiving significantly higher grades So it appears that academic pressures are, in fact, considerably lower than they used to be.
The time-use data don’t suggest that students feel greater financial pressures, either When the time savings and lower opportunity costs are factored in, college appears less expensive for most students than it was in the 1960s And though there are now full-time students working to pay while in college, they study less even when paid work choices are held constantly.
In other words, full-time students do not appear to be studying less in order to work more They appear to be studying less and spending the extra time on leisure activities or fun It seems hard to imagine that students feeling increased financial pressures would respond by taking more leisure.
Based on how students are spending their time then, it doesn’t look as though academic or financial pressures are greater now than a generation ago The time-use data don’t speak directly
to social pressures, and it may well be that these have become more intense lately.
In one recent set of data, students reported spending more than 23 hours per week either
Trang 4socializing with friends or playing on the computer for fun Social activities, in person or on computer, would seem to have become the maior focus of campus life It is hard to tell what kinds
of pressures would be associated with this change.

A what students achieve with greater load B how students spend their time
C how students work through college D what college demands from students
Câu 36: Research studies have shown that pressures put on students nowadays are _.
A not greater than the past B getting ever greater
C much greater than the past D more diversified
Câu 37: Students get higher grades as _.
A students study much harder B academic workload appears more attractive
C academic workload appears less demanding D college’s facilities are much better
Câu 38: According to the author, the fact that students have more time for leisure is a proof that _.
A financial pressure on students is not a problem
B academic work disinterests them
C they are active with extra-curricular activities
D they cannot find extra jobs
Câu 39: All factors considered, college now seems _.
C much more expensive D less expensive

A does not change students’ campus life

A how students’ campus life becomes subịect to academic pressure
B what is associated with the change in students’ campus life
C the cause to students’ financial pressure
D how the background of students’ campus life is built

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
Panel painting, common in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Europe, involved a painstaking, laborious process Wooden planks were joined, covered with gesso to prepare the surface for
Trang 5painting, and then polished smooth with special tools On this perfect surface, the artist would sketch a composition with chalk, refine it with inks, and then begin the deliberate process of applying thin layers of egg tempera paint (egg yolk in which pigments are suspended) with small brushes The successive layering of these meticulously applied paints produced the final translucent colors.
Backgrounds or gold were made by carefully applying sheets of gold leaf, and then embellishing of decorating the gold leaf by punching it with a metal rod on which a pattern had been embossed Every step in the process was slow and deliberate The quick-drying tempera demanded that the artist know exactly where each stroke be placed before the brush met the panel, and it required the use of fine brushes It was, therefore, an ideal technique for emphasizing the hard linear edges and pure, fine areas of color that were so much a part of the overall aesthetic of the time The notion that an artist could or would dash off an idea in a fit of spontaneous inspiration was completely alien to these deliberately produced works.
Furthermore, making these paintings was so time-consuming that it demanded assistance All such work was done by collective enterprise in the workshops The painter or master who is credited with
having created the painting may have designed the work and overseen its production, but it is highly unlikely that the artist’s hand applied every stroke of the brush More likely, numerous assistants, who
had been trained to imitate the artist’s style, applied the paint The carpenter’s shop probably provided
the frame and perhaps supplied the panel, and yet another shop supplied the gold Thus, not only many hands, but also many shops were involved in the final product
In spite of problems with their condition, restoration, and preservation, many panel paintings have survived, and today many of them are housed in museum collections
Câu 45: What aspect of panel paintings does the passage mainly discuss?
A Different styles B Famous examples C Production D Restoration.
Câu 46: According to the passage, what was the first step in making a panel painting?
A Mixing the paint B Making ink drawings.
C Preparing the panel D Buying the gold leaf.
Câu 47: The word “it” refers to _.
Câu 48: The word “deliberate” is closest in meaning to _.
Câu 49: Which of the following processes produced the translucent colors found on panel paintings?
A Applying many layers of paint B Joining wooden planks to form large sheets.
C Polishing the gesso D Covering the background with gold leaf.
Câu 50: What characteristic of tempera paint is mentioned in the passage?
A It has to be applied directly to wood B It is difficult to make.
C It dries quickly D It dissolves easily.
Câu 51: The word “demanded’ is closest in meaning to _.
Câu 52: The “collective enterprise” mentioned includes all of the following EXCEPT _.
A supplying the gold leaf B applying the paint
C selling then painting D building the panels
