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.
No sooner had the first intrepid male aviators safely returned to Earth than it seemed thatwomen, too, had been smitten by an urge to fly From mere spectators, they became willingpassengers and finally pilots in their own right, plotting their skills and daring line against the
hazards of the air and the skepticism of their male counterparts In doing so they enlarged the
traditional bounds of a women's world, won for their sex a new sense of competence andachievement, and contributed handsomely to the progress of aviation
But recognition of their abilities did not come easily "Men do not believe us capable." thefamed aviator Amelia Earhart once remarked to a friend "Because we are women, seldom are we
anefficientjob."Indeed,oldattitudesdiedhard:whenCharlesLindberghvisitedtheSovietUnionin1938with his wife, Anne-herself a pilot and gifted proponent of aviation - he was astonished todiscover both men and women flying in the Soviet Air Force
Such conventional wisdom made it difficult for women to raise money for the up - to - dateequipment they needed to compete on an equal basis with men Yet they did compete, and oftenthey triumphed finally despite the odds
Ruth Law, whose 590 - mile flight from Chicago to Hornell, New York, set a new nonstopdistance record in 1916, exemplified the resourcefulness and grit demanded of any woman who
wanted to fly And when she addressed the Aero Club of America after completing her historic
journey, her plainspoken words testified to a universal human motivation that was unaffected bygender: "My flight was done with no expectation of reward," she declared, "just purely for thelove of accomplishment."

day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use Bit by
bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s In the same way,children learn all the other things they learn to do without being taught – to talk, run, climb,whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, andslowly make the needed changes But in school wenever give a child a chance to find out hismistakes for himself, let alone correct them We do it all for him We act as if we thought that hewould never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made

Sometimes you know things about people the first timeyou see them, for example, that you want to be friends withthem or that you don’t trust them But perhaps this kind ofintuition isn’t as hard to explain as it may seem For instance,people give out their body language signals all the time Theway you hold your body, head and arms tells people aboutyour mood If you hold your arms tightly at your sides, orfold them across your chest, people will generally feel thatyou are being defensive Holding your head to one side
shows interest in the other, while an easy, open posture
indicates that you are self- confident All this affects the wayyou feel aboutsomeone

Since water is the basis of life, composing the greater
part of the tissues of all living things, the crucial problem of
desert animals is to survive in a world where sources offlowing water are rare And since man’s inexorable necessity

they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the world

People appear to be born to compute The numerical skills of children develop so early and so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical maturity guiding their growth Notlong after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with impressive accuracy – one plate, one knife, one spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs Soon they are capable of noting that they have placed five knives, spoons, and forks on the table and, a bit later, thatthis amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware Having thus mastered addition, they move on to subtraction It seems almost reasonable to expect that if a child were secluded on a desert island at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or shecould enter a second-grade mathematics class without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment
Of course, the truth is not so simple This century, the
work of cognitive psychologists has illuminated the subtle
forms of daily learning on which intellectual progressdepends Children were observed as they slowly grasped or,
as the case might be, bumped into concepts that adults thatfor granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede thatquantity is unchanged as water pours from a short stout glassinto a tall thin one Psychologists have since demonstratedthat young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile,readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must becoaxed into finding the total
Such studies have suggested that the rudiments ofmathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort Theyhave also suggested that the very concept of abstract numbers– the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a threeness that applies toany class of objects - is a prerequisite for doing anything moremathematically demanding than setting a table – is itself farfrom innate

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.
In the history of technology, computers and calculators
were innovative developments They are essentially different
from all other machines because they have a memory Thismemory stores instructions and information In a calculator,the instructions are the various functions of arithmetic, whichare permanently remembered by the machine and cannot bealtered or added to The information consists of the numberswhich are keyedin
An electronic pocket calculator can perform almostinstant arithmetic A calculator requires an input unit to feed
in numbers, a processing unit to make the calculation, amemory unit, and an output unit to display the result Thecalculator is powered by a small battery or by a panel of solarcells Inside is a microchip that contains the memory andprocessing units and also controls the input unit, which is thekeyboard, and the output unit, which is the display
The input unit has keys for numbers and operations.Beneath the key is a printed circuit board containing a set of
contacts for each key Pressing a key closes the contacts and
sends a signal along a pair of lines in the circuit board to theprocessing unit, in which the binary code for that key isstored in the memory The processing unit also sends the code
to the display Each key is connected by a different pair oflines to the processing unit, which repeatedly checks the lines
to find out when a pair is linked by a key
ThíchTiếng Anh – thichtienganh.com – sưutầmvàbiênsoạn 10
Trang 27The memory unit stores
the arithmetic instructions for
the processing unit and holds
the temporary results that occur
during calculation Storage cells
in the memory unit hold the
binary codes for the keys that
have been pressed The number
codes, together with the
operation code for the plus key,
are held in temporary cells until
the processing unit requires
them
When the equals key is
pressed, it sends a signal to the
processing unit This takes the
operation code - for example,
addition - and the two numbers
being held in the memory unit
and performs the operation on
the two numbers After the
addition is done, the result goes
to the decoder in the calculator's
microchip This code is then
sent to the liquid crystal display
unit, which shows the result, or
output, of thecalculation
Question 38 What is the main
purpose of the passage?
A To summarize the history
Question 39 What can be inferred about machines that are
not calculators or computers?
A They are older thancomputers.
B They are less expensive thancomputers.
C They cannot store information in amemory.
D They have simple memory and processingunits.

A Sending codes takes place only in the memory unit of

B Calculator and computers have amemory.
