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
Smart cards and mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way to make all sorts of
payments Even now, in Japan thousands of transactions, from paying rail tickets to picking up the
groceries, take place every day with customers passing their handsets across a small flat-screen device And predictions in the world of finance reckon that payments using mobile phones will have
risen to more than $50 billion in the very near future
What's the appeal of e-cash? Compared to cheques or credit cards, it offers the speed of cash, but more so It takes just one tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no change
is required, errors in counting are eliminated Fraud and theft are also reduced and for the retailer, it
reduces the cost of handling money Sony's vision of having a chip embedded in computers, TVs and
games consoles means that films, music and games can be paid for easily without having to input credit card details
And what about the future of the banks? Within their grip on the market, banks and
credit-card firms want to be in a position to collect most of the fees from the users of mobile and
contactless-payment systems But the new system could prove to be a "disruptive technology" as far
as the banks are concerned If payments for a few coffees, a train ticket and a newspaper are made every day by a commuter with a mobile, this will not appear on their monthly credit card statements but on their mobile phone statements And having spent fortunes on branding, credit-card companies and banks do not want to see other payment systems gaining popularity It's too early to say whether
Trang 4banks will miss out and if so, by how much However, quite a few American bankers are optimistic They feel there is reason to be suspicious of those who predict that high-street banks may be a thing
of the past They point out that Internet banking did not result in the closure of their high-street
branches as was predicted On the contrary, more Americans than ever are using local branches So, whether we'll become a totally cash-free society remains open to contention
Câu 36: What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A The increasing popularity of new payment methods
B The absence of traditional payment methods
C Japan's advanced forms of payment
D Predictions of future payment methods
Câu 37: Why does the author mention "a small flat-screen device" in the first paragraph?
A to praise the e-cash system B to inform the e-cash system
C to criticize the e-cash system D to exemplify the e-cash system
Câu 38: Which of the following is NOT true about the strong point of e-cash?
A reduced cost B faster speed C no fraud D fewer mistakes
Câu 39: The word "embedded” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to
Câu 40: The word "grip" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to
A range of branches B wealth C success D power
Câu 41: The author mentions the case of commuters in the third paragraph to illustrate _
A the banks' cooperation with credit-card companies
B a possible drawback of the system
C the transferability of the system
D the modern technology of the e-cash system
Câu 42: The word "their” in the third paragraph refers to

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
One of the most interesting authors of the twentieth century, J.R.R Tolkien, achieved fame through
his highly inventive trilogy The Lord of the Rings Born in 1892, Tolkien received his education
from Oxford and then served in World War I After the war, he became a professor of Anglo -Saxon and English language and literature at Oxford University
Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings were written
in intervals from 1936 to 1949 This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as a professor and
the outbreak of World War II By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy had become a sociological
phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legends created by Tolkien
The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fiction but also its success as a modern heroic epic The main plot describes the struggle between good and evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world.The novels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world.Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evil creatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans The characters and the setting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and Northern Europe
Although readers have scrutinized the texts for inner meaning and have tried to connect the trilogy with Tolkien's real life experiences in England during World War II, he denied the connection
He claims that the story began in his years as an undergraduate student and grew out of his desire to create mythology and legends about elves and their language
Tolkien was a masterful fantasy novelist who used his extensive knowledge of folklore to create a body of work that is still read and enjoyed throughout the world today
