Sound moves form its source to the ear by wavelike fluctuations in air pressure, something like the crests and troughs of ocean waves Once way to keep from hearing sound is to use ear plugs Another way

is to cancel out the sound with anti-sound Using a noisemarker controlled by a microprocessor, engineers have produced sound waves that are half a wavelength out of phase with those of the noise to be quieted-each crest is matched to a trough, and vice versa Once the researchers have recorded the offending sound,

a microprocessor calculates the amplitude and wavelength of sound that will cancel out the crests and troughs of noise It then produces an electric current that is amplified and fed to a loudspeaker, which produces anti-sound and wipes out the noise If the anti-sound goes out of synchronization, a microphone picks up the leftover sound and sends it back to the microprocessor, which changes the phase of the anti- sound just enough to cause complete silence

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Who talks more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more However, linguist

Deborah Tannen, who has the studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a stereotype According to Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more – in private situations, where they

use conversation as the “glue” to hold relationship together But, she says, men talk more in public

situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status Tannen points out that we

can see these difference even in children Little girls often play with one ‘best friend’ and their play

includes a lot of conversation Little boys often play games in groups, their play usually involves more doing than talking In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, while boys are often better at

mathematics

A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference Researchers studied conversation between children aged 3-6 and their parents They found evidence that parents talk very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters The startling conclusion was that parents use more language with their girls Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more

descriptive language and more details There is also far more talk about emotions, especially with

daughters than with sons

Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their number has

varied from one to forty-eight stars Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of the

twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies

Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen stars because by that time Vermont and Kentucky has joined the Union At that time it was apparently the intention of mint officials

to add a star for each new state Following the admission of Tennessee in 1796, for example, some varieties

of half dimes, dimes, and half-dollars were produced with sixteen starts

As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme would not prove practical and the coins from A798 on were issued with only thirteen stars-one for each of the original colonies Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the A828 half cent was issued with only twelve stars There is also a variety of the large cent with only A2 stars, but this is the result of a die break and is not a true error

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 from 36 to 42

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related

to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon People of different cultures are more prone to contract certain

illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume

That food is related to illness is not a new discovery In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meats) as well as other food additives caused cancer

Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which

ingredients on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful

The additives that we eat are not all so direct Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows Sometimes similar drugs are administered

to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue

A healthy diet is directly related to good health Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we ingest Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these substances to food without our knowledge

Question 36: How has science done a disservice to people?

A. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables

B. It caused a lack of information concerning the value of food

C. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to our food

D. Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually eradicated

Question 37: The word “ prone” is nearest in meaning to

A. supine B. unlikely C. predisposed D. healthy

Question 38: What are nitrates used for?

A. They preserve flavor in packaged foods B. They cause the animals to become fatter

C. They are the objects of research D. They preserve the color of meats

Question 39: The word “ these” refers to

A. researchers B. nitrates and nitrites C. meats D. colors

Question 40: The word “additives” is closest in meaning to

A. added substances B. benign substances C. dangerous substances D. natural substances

Question 41: All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _

A. Researchers have known about the potential hazards of food additives for more than forty-five years

B. Food may cause forty percent of the cancer in the world

C. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons

D. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals

Question 42: What is the best title for this passage?

A. Harmful and Harmless Substances in Food B. Improving Health through a Natural Diet

C. The Food You Eat Can Affect Your Health D. Avoiding Injurious Substances in Food

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 from 43 to 50

Trang 28

Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to do

outstandingly well Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a

person is born with Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be developed The truth

lies somewhere between these two extremes

It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child’s ability to

do well However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.”

Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed well The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better This case

reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability The more favorable the environment, the more a child’s

intelligence and ability are developed However, there is no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child’s family In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence

Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:

- Marry an intelligent person

- Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents

- Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard

- Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a child who wants to become an outstanding musician

Question 43: The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires _

A. an expensive education B. good musical instruments

C. parental support and encouragement D. wealthy and loving parents

Question 44: The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to

A. other people B. other scientists C. other children D. other geniuses

Question 45: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that _

A. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement

B. intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability

C. ability depends both on intelligence and on environment

D. different twins generally have different levels of ability

Question 46: Scientists chose twins for their study because _

A. each twin has the same environment as his/her twin

B. they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing

C. they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities

D. they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence

Question 47: How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development?

Trang 29

A. Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured

B. They practice playing their instruments for many years

C. They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas

D. They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic

Question 48: The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the passage means that

in order to become a genius

A. you need to have good health and good nourishment

B. you need intelligence and you need to develop it

C. you should try to move quickly and efficiently

D. you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard

Question 49: The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means _

A. “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful”

B. "helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people”

C. “of high quality or an acceptable standard”

D. “under the control or in the power of somebody else”

Question 50: All of the following statements are true EXCEPT

A. a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents

B. to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development

C. studying different twins is a useful scientific procedure

D. educational development depends completely on economic well-being
