Sunlight offers many ways to get energy A window can allow warm sunlight into your room Solar water-heating systems can use sunlight to warm the water for your home, swimming pool and school Sunlight also warms the Earth and causes wind Electricity can be made by wind generators

mirrors that focus the sunlight The concentrated sunlight turns water into steam which turns a turbine
that is connected to an electric generator A CSP system usually uses sunlight to make steam CSP power plants can store large amount of heat The stored heat is used to make electricity at night During cloud days, many CSP plants can also burn natural gas to provide the heat that is used to turn water into steam Sunlight provides the energy needed to grow plants and make large amount of environmentally friendly heat and electricity Solar energy can provide power today and for a long time in the future

Trang 4Read 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
In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of culture, such
as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals Although they are important, these visible
expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the tip of the iceberg of culture Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside awareness Thus, neither
cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain “invisible” aspects of their culture exist
Invisible elements of culture are important to us For example, how long we can be late before being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention through listening behaviour, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without being aware of it When we meet other people whose invisible cultural assumptions differ
from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behaviour as cultural in origin
Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations Conflicts may arise when
we are unable to recognize others’ behavioural differences as cultural rather than personal We tend to misinterpret other people’s behaviour, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences
Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences If the differences were more visible, we might have less misunderstanding For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours Yet when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us As a result, mutual misunderstanding may arise
24 What is the main purpose of the passage?
A To point out that much of culture is learned consciously
B To describe cultural diversity
C To explain the importance of invisible aspects of culture
D To explain why cross-cultural conflict occurs
25 The word “deliberately” in bold in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _
A slowly B accurately C intentionally D randomly
26 The phrase “the tip of the iceberg” in paragraph 1 means that _
A most aspects of culture cannot be seen
B we usually focus on the highest forms of culture
C other cultures seem cold to us
D visible aspects of culture are learned in formal institutions
Trang 5B How late is considered impolite
C What topics to avoid in conversation
D What food to eat in a courthouse
28 The word “those” in paragraph 2 refers to
A invisible cultural assumptions B people from a different culture
C topics that should be avoided in conversation D people who speak a different language
29 It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that conflict results when _
A one culture is more invisible than another culture
B people compete with those from other cultures
C some people recognize more cultural differences than others
D people think cultural differences are personal
30 The author implies that institutions such as schools and workplaces
A reinforce invisible cultural differences
B are aware of cultural differences
C share a common culture
D teach their employees about cultural differences
