(ID: 114980) 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
A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, which provides information concerning how people think and act In the United States, the best-known surveys are the Gallup poll and the Harris poll As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns knows, these polls have become an important part of political life in the United States
North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews on local television news shows While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate
indication of public opinion First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain
location Thus, such samples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the new people select Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel
intimidated by a camera A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely
reflect a broad range of the population
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of questions
An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired Surveys can be
indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are
worded accurately
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire
In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject's underlying feelings and reasons However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent
Question 1 According to the passage, the main disadvantage of person-on-the-street interviews is that
they
A are not based on a representative sampling B reflect political opinions

interviews _

(ID: 115072) 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
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them
Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others
But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same "facial language" Studies by Ekman's group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle Ekman and his colleagues claim that people
Trang 5everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so called display rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially negative ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree , in people's behavior From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too Very young children pay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people's
faces This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic
set of human emotions Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures For example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while
in China it can signify surprise Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions
Question 55 Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to _
A display their emotions openly B conceal their positive emotions
C control their emotions D change their behaviour
Question 56 The word " evolved" is closest in meaning to _
Question 57 The phrase " this evidence" refers to
A human facial expressions
B the fact that children can control their feelings
C a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions
D the fact that children are good at recognizing others' emotions
Question 58 Young children _
A make amazing progress in controlling their emotions
B take time to control their facial expressions
C are sensitive towards others' emotions
D spend a long time learning to read others' emotions
Question 59 According to the passage, we respond to others by _
A watching their actions B observing their looks
C observing their emotional expressions D looking at their faces
Question 60 The biggest difference lies in
A how often positive emotions are shown B how emotional responses are controlled
C how intensive emotions are expressed D how long negative emotions are displayed
Question 61 Smiles and frowns
A are universal expressions across cultures
B are not popular everywhere
C do not convey the same emotions in various cultures
D have different meanings in different cultures
Question 62 Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of
A investigators on universal emotional expressions
B researchers on universal language
C researchers who can speak and understand many languages
D lacked many main ingredients
Question 63 The best title for the passage is
A ways to control emotional expressions B cultural universals in emotional expressions
C Human habit of displaying emotions D review of research on emotional expressions
Trang 6Question 64 Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer whether
A eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar
B different cultures have similar emotional expressions
C rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar
D raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth

II Paragraph
After high schools, students often have two different choice: attending higher education or vocational training In my opinion, the first choice is preferable Firstly, higher education is necessary for a good job in the modern society Living standard is increasing everyday, which also means that a college degree is
essential, even requisite to apply for a good – brand company Another point to consider is the skills learners will have in the university environment College students will have a chance to communicate with different types of people from different areas, resulting in communication skill improvement and broadened view as well Universities also teach learners teamwork skill, presenting skill; especially independence for students who study far from their hometown In sum, higher education provides suitable access to the developed life
