PART III:READING COMPREHENSION (25 points)
Questions 51-55: You are going to read an extract from a magazine article about psychology Five paragraphs have been removed from the extract Choose from the paragraphs A-F the one which fits each gap (51- 55) There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use Write your answers into the box below
Unless you're a loner, you're probably a member of many different groups Some are long lasting, like your family, while others, such as a football crowd, are temporary Every group functions in different ways but there are still some common psychological features to any group
Trang 16(53)
The problem becomes even worse when individuals are disguised with war paint or uniforms Analysis shows that the more people there are in a mob, the greater the antisocial behaviour Being 'submerged' within a group does have many negative connotations but it's not always a bad thing Instead of thinking about a rowdy mob, think of relaxing, dancing and enjoying yourself at a party where you are also just a part
of the crowd
(54)
But surprisingly, research has shown that the use of this technique by groups isn't that effective in either the number or quality of ideas generated You get better results if you set people to work individually on a problem We also tend to assume that decisions made by groups are better than those made by individuals, which is why we form committees
(55)
But any group can get a decision badly wrong because their thought processes can go awry This is a process psychologists call 'groupthink' A close-knit group of advisers isolated from argument and criticism can grow to believe they can do no wrong The group then becomes more important than the individuals who are part of it Further, a leadership style which concentrates on the group rather than the individual can contribute to this
For a group and its behaviour are shaped by who is in charge and the roles the other members play A good front man or woman is persuasive, not directive, communicates and speaks clearly, listens well and appeals
to group members' emotions and feelings as well as thoughts and ideas Many, but not all, leaders show dominance in the group But the dominant person in the group doesn't always make the best leader, and it isn't necessarily true that having the smartest people always makes for the most successful group
A This lack of individual accountability may lead to people letting go of their inhibitions - a process known as 'deindividuation' Sometimes this is dangerous, releasing violent and impulsive behaviours that individuals would never dream of indulging in alone
B They have a need for power, characterised by talking a lot, wanting to be listened to and to make decisions In a group it can be easy to spot the dominant people They make eye contact, point and even touch people but don't encourage return gestures Such behaviour studies have been key in shaping business organisation
C For example, in general, humans are social animals, that's why we get together in groups in the first place Important elements of our individual identity come from being part of a group Most people enjoy being in a group - it's a way of forming emotionally satisfying relationships
D But it has to be a carefully selected team, not a randomly generated group, if creative decisions are to
be made In fact, theory on team building has shown that it is better if people work in small teams of complementary pairs Big teams don't get anything done, even though people like them
E So, how does all this stimulation affect achievement? It has been argued that people do better on simple well-rehearsed activities when they're with others than when they are alone Also, if their individual efforts within the group are not being monitored, there's a tendency to relax and merge into the crowd
F Another positive feature of groups is that they generate ideas and opinions, and use these to make decisions That's why the modern trend in teaching is for students to work in small groups to prepare presentations and why brainstorming is so popular in the work context
Your answers:

CHEAP ACCESS TO SPACE
Charles Conrad went to the moon with Apollo 12 and circled the Earth in Skylab But from now on, he is going to aim high for himself His company, Universal Space Lines, hopes to produce a more economic rocket that will be able to go in space again and again
(0) _ G _
NASA, the U.S, government-owned space program, plans to develop such a rocket However, the immediate priority is missions to Mars, which will require different technology So it is more likely that people outside the NASA program will develop re-useable rocket design Rick Tumlinson runs an independent organization called the Space Frontier Foundation and firmly believes that it is time for business to get involved
(51)
So Tumlinson is also in business to prove a point Space is our destiny, he says, so why not get on with it a bit more eagerly? To this end, the SFF is holding a conference in Los Angeles shortly, to be called Space: Open for Business
(52)
Another company, Kistler Aerospace, has similar plans; “Our goal is to become a delivery service to low Earth orbit that will radically re-align the economics of doing business in space Satellites will be our parcels: our vehicles will be operated in repeated flights with air freights efficiency.”
(53)
Their own view is that it is impossible for NASA, which is government-owned, to offer an “open frontier” This is not a matter of budgets or schedules, but of fundamental purpose and design NASA is “elitist and
Trang 23B He sees the NASA program as a bit of a dinosaur “25 years after the Wright Brothers, people could buy a commercial plane ticket but many years after landing on the moon, we sat around watching old astronauts on TV talking about the good old days.”
C In 1997, the SFF ran a survey on the Internet, called “Cheap Access to Space”, where it asked American taxpayers for their views on the U.S space program and on what American’s future priorities should be in space transportation
D U.S government officials don’t see the future for space tourism Here again, private companies may well prove them wrong David Ashford, director of Bristol Spaceplanes Limited, once said that space tourism would begin ten years after people stopped laughing at the concept Recently, he added this striking comment: “people have stopped laughing.”
E Charles Conrad is due to speak there But his company is in fact only one of several that already have blueprints for getting into space and back cheaply Rotary is working on something that would
be launched like a rocket but return like a helicopter Pioneer Rocket plane believes there could be a million dollar market in delivering packages from one side of the planet to the other in an hour
F They would like to see “irreversible human settlement” in space as soon as possible and maintain that this will only happen through free enterprise “Building buildings and driving trucks is not what astronauts should be doing; that’s what the private sector does.”
G “Cheap” is an important word in space technology nowadays and re-useable rockets will be a key way of controlling costs They will deliver things to orbits, bring stuff back to Earth and then go up again, perhaps with machinery for a space factory, or even carrying tourists

I Read the passage below and choose the correct answer for each question
Write your answers A, B, C or D on your answer sheet (5 pts)
Petroleum products, such as gasoline, kerosine, home heating oil, residual fuel oil, and lubricating oils, come from one source-crude oil found below the earth's surface, as well as under large bodies of water, from a few hundred feet below the surface
to as deep as 25,000 feet into the earth's interior Sometimes crude oil is secured by drilling a hole through the earth, but more dry holes are drilled than those producing oil Pressure at the source or pumping forces crude oil to the surface
Crude oil wells flow at varying rates, from ten to thousands of barrels per hour Petroleum products are always measured in forty-two-gallon barrels
Petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearance: thin, thick, transparent or opaque, but regardless, their chemical composition is made up of only two elements: carbon and hydrogen, which form compounds called hydrocarbons Other chemical elements found in union with the hydrocarbons are few and are classified as impurities Trace elements are also found, but these are
of such minute quantities that they are disregarded The combination of carbon and hydrogen forms many thousands of compounds
which are possible because of the various positions and joinings of these two atoms in the hydrocarbon molecule
The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating and condensing the vapors These products are the so-called light oils, such as gasoline, kerosine, and distillate oil The residue remaining after the light oils are distilled is known as heavy or residual fuel oil and is used mostly for burning under boilers Additional complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical structure of the hydrocarbons to produce other products, some of which are used to upgrade and increase the octane rating
of various types of gasolines
1 All of the following are true EXCEPT
A crude oil is found below land and water
B crude oil is always found a few hundred feet below the surface
C pumping and pressure force crude oil to the surface
D a variety of petroleum products is obtained from crude oil
2 The word "minute" in line 10 is closest in meaning to _
A instant B huge C insignificant D timely
3 Many thousands of hydrocarbon compounds are possible because _
A the petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearance
B complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical structure
C the two atoms in the molecule assume many positions
D the pressure needed to force it to the surface causes molecular transformation
4 How is crude oil brought to the surface?
A expansion of the hydrocarbons B pressure and pumping
C vacuum created in the drilling pipe D expansion and contraction of the earth's surface
5 Which of the following is TRUE?
A Heating and condensation produce the various products
B The various petroleum products are produced by filtration
C Chemical separation is used to produce the various products
D Mechanical means such as the centrifuge are used to produce the various products
