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 below

FAMILY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES

Family life in the United States is changing Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a

“housewife” She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children The husband earned the mo ney for the family

He was usually out working all day He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework And

he did not see the children very much, except on weekends

These days, however, more and more women work outside the home They cannot stay with the children all day They, too, come home tired in the evening They do not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and

cleaning up They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry So who is going to do the housework

now? Who is going to take care of the children?

Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it In these families, the husband and wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights

Then there is the question of the children In the past, many families got help with child care from

grandparents Now families usually do not live near their relatives The grandparents are often too far away to help in a regular way More often, parents have to pay for child care help The help may be a babysitter or a day-care center The problem with t his kind of help is the high cost It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well

Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for Many companies now let

people with children work part-time That way, parents can spend mo re time with their children Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children For these men there is a new

word: they are called “househusbands” In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands

every year

These changes in the home mean changes in the family Fathers can learn to understand their children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better Husbands and wives may also find changes

in their marriage They, too, may have a better understanding of each other

Câu 36: Sixty years ago, most women

A went out to work B had no children

C did not do much housework D were housewives

Câu 37: Nowadays, there are

A more women going out to work than before

B more and more women staying with the children all day

C more work outside the home than before

D more housewives than before

Câu 38: The word “laundry” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _

C washing and ironing D shopping

Câu 39: It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that

A couples with low-paid jobs can’t afford the cost of a babysitter or a day-care center

B grandparents can help care the children in a regular way

C all couples with jobs can pay for help from a babysitter or a day-care center

D in the past, grandparents did not help the couples with child care

Câu 40: The word “they” in paragraph 5 refers to _

A husbands who stop working to stay with the children

B fathers who spend more time with their children

C parents who work part-time

D children who spend more time with fathers than mothers

Câu 41: The changes in the American home mentioned in this passage may _

C cause problems for a marriage D not change the children at all

A American men as househusbands B housewives in America

C how more American women are working D how family life in America is changing

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 below

Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech A little thought, however, will show w hy speech is primary and writing secondary to language Human beings have been writing (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5000 years; but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings

When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before

we learn to write; any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write In the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly

To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter One

advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any

civilization must have Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized

Câu 43: We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because

A writing is secondary to language

B human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years

C it has become very important in our culture

D people have been writing since there have been human beings

Câu 44: The author of the passage argues that

A speech is more basic to language than writing

B writing has become too important in today’s society

C everyone who learns to speak must learn to write

D all languages should have a written form

Câu 45: According to the passage, writing

A is represented perfectly by speech B represents speech, but not perfectly

C developed from imperfect speech D is imperfect, but less so than speech

Câu 46: Normal human beings

A learn to talk after learning to write B learn t o write before learning to talk

C learn to write and to talk at the same time D learn to talk before learning to write

Câu 47: Learning to write is

A easy B too difficult C not easy D very easy

Câu 48: In order to show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of

A people who learn the rudiments of speech B severely handicapped children

C intelligent people who couldn’t write D people who speak many languages

Câu 49: In the author’s judgment,

A writing has more advantages than speech

B writing is more real than speech

C speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does

D speech is essential but writing has important benefits

Câu 50: The word “advantage” in the last paragraph most closely means

A “rudiments” B “skill” C “domination” D “benefit”

A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker

The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance When speaking before a group,

a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may belie them

Here the participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or

antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernible by the acute listener Public performance is a manner

of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture The motivation derived from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication

Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health Self-image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front How a speaker perceives the listener's

receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can drastically alter the tone

of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed

Câu 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The function of the voice in performance

B Communication styles

C The connection between voice and personality

D The production of speech

Câu 37: What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect

ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen" ?

A Feelings are expressed with different words than ideas are

B The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words

C A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication

D Feelings are more difficult to express than ideas

Câu 38: The word "Here" in line 9 refers to………

A At interpersonal levels B the tone

C ideas and feelings D words chosen

Câu 39: Why does the author mention "artistic, political, or pedagogic communication" ?

A As examples of public performance

B As examples of basic styles of communication

C To contrast them to singing

D To introduce the idea of self-image

Câu 40: According to the passage, an exuberant tone of voice may be an indication of a

person's………

A general physical health B personality

Câu 41: According to the passage, an overconfident front may hide…………

A hostility B shyness C friendliness D strength

Câu 42: The word "drastically" in line 21 is closest in meaning to………

Câu 43: According to the passage, what does a constricted and harsh voice indicate?

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 question from 44 to 50

The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number of factors the physical location of the restaurant, e.g., rural or urban; the type of restaurant, e.g., informal or formal; and certain standards that are more universal In other words, some standards 5 of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere Learning the proper etiquette

in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience For example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is 10 inappropriate to do the same in a more luxurious setting And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate a lack of manners It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it

is unacceptable 15 to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor The conclusion we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and locations of restaurants determine etiquette appropriate to them, some rules apply to all restaurants

Câu 44: What topic is this passage primarily concerned?

A instruction in proper etiquette B rules of etiquette

C variable and universal standards of etiquette D the importance of good manners

Câu 45: According to the passage, which of the following is a universal rule of etiquette?

A reading a magazine at a coffee shop B not throwing food on the floor

C eating in rustic settings D tucking a napkin in your shirt

Câu 46: According to the passage, requires sensitivity and experience?

A reading a magazine at a coffee shop B not throwing food on the floor

C eating in rustic settings D tucking a napkin in your shirt

Câu 47: Which of the following words is most similar to the meaning of “rustic” ?

A urban B unsophisticated C agricultural D ancient

Câu 48: Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “tuck” in line 11?

Câu 49: The word “sophisticated” in line 12 could best be replaced by?

Câu 50: What is the author’s main purpose in this passage?

A to compare sophisticated and rustic restaurants

B to assist people in learning sophisticatedmanners

C to simplify rules of restaurant etiquette

D to describe variations in restaurant manners

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 Word 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 Newetowne, 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 Charlestowne, 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 22: The main idea of this passage is that

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

B What is today a great university started out small

D Harvard is one of the world's most prestigious universities

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

Massachusetts colony were _

C rather supportive of the English government D rather undemocratic

Câu 25: The pronoun "they" in the second paragraph refers to _

C Oxford and Cambridge universities D educational opportunities

Câu 26: The "pounds" in the second paragraph are probably

A units of money B college students C types of books D school campuses Câu 27: Which of the following is NOT mentioned about John Harvard?

C Where he was buried D How much he bequeathed to Harvard Câu 28: The passage implies that

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

B Henry Dunster was an ineffective president

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

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

In early civilization, citizens were educated informally, usually within the family unit Education meant simply learning to live As civilization became more complex, however, education became more formal, structured, and comprehensive Initial efforts of the ancient Chinese and Greek societies concentrated solely on the education of males The post-Babylonian Jews and Plato were exceptions to this pattern Plato was apparently the first significant advocate of the equality of the sexes Women, in his ideal state, would have the same rights and duties and the same educational opportunities as men This aspect of Platonic philosophy, however, had little or no effect on education for many centuries, and the concept

of a liberal education for men only, which had been espoused by Aristotle, prevailed

In ancient Rome, the availability of an education was radually extended to women, but they were taught separately from men The early Christians and medieval Europeans continued this trend, and single-sex schools for the privileged through classes prevailed

through the Reformation period Gradually, however, education for women, in a separate but equal basis to that provided for men, was becoming a clear responsibility of society Martin Luther appealed for civil support of schools for all children Al the Council of Trent in the

16th century, the Roman Catholic Church encouraged the establishment of free primary schools for children of all classes The concept of universal primary education, regardless of sex, had been born, but it was still in the realm of the single-sex school

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, co-education became a more widely applied principle of educational philosophy In Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union the education

of boys and girls in the same classes became an accepted practice Since World War II, Japan and the Scandinavian countries have also adopted relatively universal co-educational systems The greatest negative reaction to co-education has been felt in the teaching systems

of the Latin countries, where the sexes have usually been separated at both primary and secondary levels, according to local conditions

A number of studies have indicated that girls seem to perform better overall and in science in particular In single-sex classes, during the adolescent years, pressure to conform

to stereotypical female gender roles may disadvantage girls in traditionally male subjects, making them reluctant to volunteer for experimental work while taking part in lessons In Britain, academic league tables point to high standards achieved in girls’ schools Some educationalists, therefore, suggest segregation of the sexes as a good thing, particularly in certain areas, and a number of schools are experimenting with the idea

Câu 37: Ancient education generally focused its efforts on

A young people only B on male learners C both sexes D female learners Câu 38: Education in early times was mostly aimed at

C learning to live D imparting survival skills

Câu 39: The first to support the equality of the sexes was

Câu 40: The word “informally” in this context mostly refers to an education occurring

A in a department B in classrooms C ability D outside the school Câu 41: When education first reached women, they were

A separated from men B locked up in a place with men

C deprived of opportunities D isolated from a normal life

Câu 42: When the concept of universal primary education was introduced, education

A was intended for all the sexes B was intended for all the sexes

C was given free to all D focused on imparting skills

Câu 43: Co-education was negatively responded to in

C South American countries D the Scandinavian countries

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

long- term memory This devision 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 keeprepeating it Once you stop repeating it, either it is forgotten or it moves into long term memory

Long-term memory is the huge memory tank that can hold ideas and images for years and years Information can be added to your long-term memory when you actively try to put it

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

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

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 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 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

38 With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?

A An overview of telecommuting B The failure of telecommuting

C The advantages of telecommuting D A definition of telecommuting

39 How many Americans are involved in telecommuting?

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

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

40 The phrase “of no consequence” means………

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

41 The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting,

EXCEPT………

A the opportunities for advancement B the different system of supervision

C the lack of interaction with a group D The work place is in the home

42 The word “them” in the second paragraph refers to………

A telecommuters B systems C.executives D responsibilities

43 The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees

A need regular interaction with their families

B are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office

C feel that a work area in their home is away from the office

D are ignorant of telecommuting

44 The word “reluctant” in the third paragraph can best be replaced by
