Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices For employees whose job 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 and transmit the material to their employers A recent surve y

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 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

A are ignorant of telecommuting B need regular interaction with their families

Câu 25: It can be inferred from the passage that the author is _

A a telecommuter B a statistician C the manager D a reporter

A of no good B unimportant C of no use D irrelevant

Harvard University, today recognized as part of the top echelon of the world’s universities, came from very inauspicious and humble beginning

This oldest of American universities was founded in 1636, just sixteen years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Included in the Puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony during this period were more than 100 graduates of England’s prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these universities graduates in the

New World were determined that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that they themselves

had had Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher learning, the General Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early the following year decided on

a parcel of land for the school; this land was in an area called Newtown, which was later renamed Cambridge after its English cousin and is the site of the present-day university

When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of Charlestown, died

from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700 pounds to the fledgling college In spite of the

fact that only half of the bequest was actually paid, the General Court named the college after the minister in appreciation for what he had done The amount of the bequest may not have been large, particularly by today’s standard, but it was more than the General Court had found it necessary to appropriate in order to open the college

Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it should be noted that in addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty, with an entering freshmen class of four students

Although the staff did expand somewhat, for the first century of its existence the entire teaching staff consisted

of the president and three or four tutors

Câu 43: The main idea of this passage is that _

A John Harvard was key to the development of a great university

B Harvard University developed under the auspices of the General Court of Massachusetts

C Harvard is one of the world’s most prestigious universities

D What is today a great university started out small

Câu 44: The passage indicates that Harvard is _

A the oldest university in America B the oldest university in the world

C one of the oldest universities in America D one of the oldest universities in the world

Câu 45: It can be inferred from the passage that the Puritans who traveled to the Massachusetts colony were

_

A rather well educated B rather supportive of the English government

Câu 46: The pronoun “they” in the second paragraph refers to _

A Oxford and Cambridge universities B university graduates

Câu 47: The “pounds” in the second paragraph are probably _

A types of books B college students C school campuses D units of money

Câu 48: Which of the following is NOT mentioned about John Harvard?

A How much he bequeathed to Harvard B What he died of

C Where he came from D Where he was buried

Câu 49: The passage implies that _

A Someone else really served as president of Harvard before Henry Dunster

B The position of president of Harvard was not merely an administrative position in the early years

C Henry Dunster was an ineffective president

D Henry Dunster spent much of his time as president managing the Harvard faculty

Câu 50: The word “somewhat” in the last paragraph could best be replaced by _

A side by side B back and forth C more or less D to and fro

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 from questions 6 to 13

Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term broadcasting,

from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it It is directly related to cultivation and the

adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex A person of culture has identifiable

attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and music Yet the word culture

does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values

Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national and global cultures Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city The two words are sometimes treated

as synonymous Yet this is misleading While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word culture has been strongly influenced

by 6 conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of development in the 20th century Cultures evolve or

develop They are not static They have twists and turns Styles change So do fashions There are cultural

processes What, for example, the word cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman) literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university education No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture As cultures express themselves

in new forms not everything gets better or more civilized

The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define There is no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one The only nonproblematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture) Since in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of reference is extremely wide

large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop

Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms

unable to withstand its desiccating effects No moist -skinned, water-loving animals can exist there Few large animals are found The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth Yet they are not

emaciated Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as

animals anywhere else in the word

The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology None could survive if, like Mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday

sun; many would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night

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 of flowing water are rare And since man's inexorablenecessity is to absorb

large quantities of water at frequent intervals, he can scarcely comprehend that many creatures of the desert pass their entire lives without a single drop

Uncompromising as it is, the desert has not eliminated life but only those forms

unable to withstand its desiccating effects No moist -skinned, water-loving animals can exist there Few large animals are found The giants of the North American desert are the deer, the coyote, and the bobcat Since desert country is open, it holds more swift-footed running and leaping creatures than the tangled forest Its population is largely nocturnal, silent, filled with reticence, and ruled by stealth Yet they are not

emaciated Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as

animals anywhere else in the word

The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology None could survive if, like Mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday

sun; many would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night

The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees
