Read the following passages and then choose the best answer for each of the sentences bellow. Passage A: Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication – having a mobile phone show that they are cool and connected. The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health. On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a travelling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn’t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man had to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer’s doctor didn’t agree. What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that theories some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their safety continues it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often. 35.

Arriving immigrants depended mainly on predecessors from their homeland to help them start a new life. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several European nations instituted public-welfare programs. But such a movement was slow to take hold in the United States because the rapid pace of industrialization and the ready availability of farmland seemed to confirm the belief that anyone who was willing to work could find a job. Most of the programs started during the Depression era were temporary relief measures, but one of the programs – Social Security – has become an American institution. Paid for deductions from the paychecks of working people, Social Security ensures retired persons receive a modest monthly income and also unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and other assistance to those who need it. Social Security payment to retired persons can start at age 62, but many wait until 65, when the payments are slightly higher. Recently, there has been concern that the Social Security fund may not have enough money to fulfill its obligations in the 21st century, when the number of eldrly Americans is expected to increase dramatically. Policy makers have proposed various way to make up the anticipated deficit, but long term solution is still being debated. In the year when Roosevelt, other American presidents have established assistant programs. These include Medicaid and Medicare; food stamps, certificates that people can use to purchase food; and public housing which is used at federal expense and made available to persons on low incomes. Needy American can also turn to sources other than the government for help. A broad spectrum of private charities and voluntary organizations is available. Volunteerism is on the rise in the United States, especially retired persons. It is estimated that almost 50% of Americans over age 18 do volunteer work, and 70% of U.S households contribute to charity. 45. New immigrants to the U.S can seek help from ….. A. the people who came earlier. B. the U.S government agencies. C. only charity organizations D. volunteer organizations 46. It took welfare programs a long time to gain a foothold in the U.S due to the fast growth of … A. industrialization B. modernization C. urbanization D. population 47. The word “instituted” in the first paragraph mostly means ……… A. executed B. studied C. introduced D. enforced 48. The Social Security program has become possible thanks to ……… A. deductions from wages B. people’s willingness to work C. donations from companies D. enforcement laws 49. Most of public assistance programs ………… after the severe economic crisis. A. were introduced into institutions B. did not become institutionalized C. functioned fruitfully in institutions. D. did not work in institutions 50. That Social Security payments will be a burden comes from the concern that ……… A. elderly people ask for more money.

A fold culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals. Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and interpersonal relationships are strong. Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly. There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties. Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes. Most goods are handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails. Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social classes. Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada. Perhaps the nearest modern equivalent in Anglo-America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age. In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies till serve as a local transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles. The Amish’s central religious concept of Demut, “humility”, clearly reflects the weakness of individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity. Rarely do the Amish marry outside their sect. The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order. By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and constantly changing. Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists, leading to the establishment of many specialized professions. Secular institutions, of control such as the police and army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy prevails. Because of these contrasts, “popular” may be viewed as clearly different from “folk”. The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, Folkmade objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner.

They have no social classes. C. They have popular cultures. D. They do not value individualism. Question 10: The phrase “largely renounces” is closest in meaning to _________. A. generally rejects B. greatly modifies C. loudly declares D. often criticizes Question 11: What is the main source of order in Amish society? A. The government B. The economy C.

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 35 to 44. In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh. The important feature of all these cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained. Even though it is very funny, a good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose. Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years. In wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda. Nowadays cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a variety of social matters. In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in influencing people in Europe and the United States. Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write. Such cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China. Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons. The cartoons themselves have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way. In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not depend chiefly on telling jokes. Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons. This is not their primary aim. In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters, Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as possible among the people. Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge. They offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the particular country in which they live. Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old Chinese philosophers and sages can now reach people who live in such countries as Britain, France, America, Japan, Malaysia or Australia and who are unfamiliar with the Chinese culture. Until recently, the transfer of knowledge and culture has been overwhelmingly from the West to the East and not vice versa. By means of cartoons, however, publishing companies in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore are now having success in correcting this imbalance between the East and the West. Cartoons can overcome language barriers in all foreign countries. The vast increase in the popularity of these cartoons serves to illustrate the truth of Confucius’s famous saying “One picture is worth a thousand words.” Question 35: Which of the following clearly characterizes Western cartoons? A. Enjoyment, liveliness, and carefulness. B. Seriousness, propaganda, and attractiveness. C. Humour, unexpectedness, and criticism. D. Originality, freshness, and astonishment. Question 36: Chinese cartoons have been useful as an important means of _________. A. educating ordinary people B. spreading Western ideas C. amusing people all the time D. political propaganda in wartime Question 37: The major differences between Chinese cartoons and Western cartoons come from their _________. A. purposes B. nationalities C. values D. styles Question 38: The pronoun “this” in paragraph 4 mostly refers to_________. A. a piece of art B. an educational purpose C. a funny element D. a propaganda campaign Question 39: The passage is intended to present_________. A. a contrast between Western cartoons and Chinese cartoons B. a description of cartoons of all kinds the world over C. an outline of Western cartoons and Chinese cartoons D. an opinion about how cartoons entertain people Question 40: Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. Chinese Cartoons and Western Cartoons B. A Very Powerful Force in Influencing People C. An Excellent Way of Spreading Propaganda D. Cartoons as a Way of Educating People Question 41: In general, Chinese cartoons are now aiming at _________. A. bringing education to illiterate and semi-literate people in the world B. disseminating traditional practices in China and throughout the world C. illustrating the truth of Chinese great men’s famous sayings D. spreading the Chinese ideas and cultural values throughout the world Question 42: The word “imbalance” in paragraph 6 refers to _________. A. the mismatch between the East cartoons and the West cartoons B. the dominant cultural influence of the West over the East C. the influence of the East cartoons over the West cartoons D. the discrimination between the West culture and the East culture Question 43: Which of the following is most likely the traditional subject of Chinese cartoons? A. Jokes and other kinds of humour in political and social matters. B. The philosophies and sayings of ancient Chinese thinkers. C. The illiterate and semi-literate people throughout China. D. The stories and features of the lives of great men the world over. Question 44: According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. Western cartoons always have a serious purpose. B. Language barriers restricted cartoons. C. Cartoons will replace other forms of writing. D. Cartoons can serve various purposes.

Pandemic (dịch bệnh) Diseases are a natural part of life on Earth. If there were no diseases, the population would grow too quickly, and there would not be enough food or other resources. So in a way, diseases are nature's way of keeping the Earth in balance. But sometimes they spread very quickly and kill large numbers of people. For example, in 1918, an outbreak of the flu spread across the world, killing over 25 million people in only six months. Such terrible outbreaks of a disease are called pandemics. Pandemics happen when a disease changes in a way that our bodies are not prepared to fight. In 1918, a new type of flu virus appeared. Our bodies had no way to fight this new flu virus, and so it spread very quickly and killed large numbers of people. While there have been many different pandemic diseases throughout history, all of them have a few things in common. First, all pandemic diseases spread from one person to another very easily. Second, while they may kill many people, they generally do not kill people very quickly. A good example of this would be the Marburg virus. The Marburg virus is an extremely infectious disease. In addition, it is deadly. About 70-80% of all the people who get the Marburg virus die from the disease. However, the Marburg virus has not become a pandemic because most people die within three days of getting the disease. This means that the virus does not have enough time to spread to a large number of people. The flu virus of 1918, on the other hand, generally took about a week to ten days to kill its victims, so it had more time to spread. While we may never be able to completely stop pandemics, we can make them less common. Doctors carefully monitor new diseases that they fear could become pandemics. For example, in 2002 and 2003, doctors carefully watched SARS. Their health warnings may have prevented SARS from becoming a pandemic. 45. This passage is mainly about ____. A. how to prevent pandemic diseases. B. pandemic diseases. C. pandemic diseases throughout history. D. why pandemics happen. 46. According to paragraph 1, how are diseases a natural part of life on Earth? A. They prevent pandemics. B. They help control the population. C. They help the world grow quickly. D. They kill too many people. 47. Based on the information in the passage the term pandemics can best be explained as ___. A. diseases with no cure B. diseases that spread quickly and kill large numbers of people C. a deadly kind of flu D. new diseases like SARS or the Marburg virus 48. According to the passage, what causes pandemics? A. Changes in a disease that the body cannot fight B. Careless doctors who do not watch the spread of diseases C. Population growth that the world cannot support D. The failure to make new medicines 49. According to the passage, all of the following are true of the 1918 flu pandemic EXCEPT that ____. A. it involved a new kind of flu virus B. it killed over 25 million people C. it was the last pandemic in history D. it took a little over a week to kill its victims 50. The word it in the passage refers to ____. A. disease B. flu virus C. pandemics D. bodies 51. Which of the following is mentioned as a common feature of all pandemic diseases? A. They spread from people to people very slowly. B. They may kill many people very quickly. C. They do not kill people very quickly. D. They kill all the victims. 52. According to paragraph 3, why hasn't Marburg virus become a pandemic? A. It is not a deadly disease. B. It does not spread from person to person easily. C. Doctors have prevented it from becoming a pandemic. D. It kills people too quickly. 53. The word monitor in the passage is closest in meaning to ____. A. fight B. prevent C. watch D. avoid 54.

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. What I love about my job is the variety. I get enquiries (việc điều tra) from people all over the world asking me how they should go about setting up their own website. I’ve been asked about so many subjects - anything from someone wanting to teach people how to throw boomerangs to another people selling paper flowers which they make at home in their spare time. Obviously with all the thousands of websites available at the click of a button, you want to create an impression with your website so that it becomes a must-see destination. Not everyone is prepared, however, for the way in which a website can become so popular that it actually has to be closed down. When people first set up their websites they probably pay their web advertiser a monthly fee based on the number of hits (visitors) or page impressions their site receives. If they can pay their monthly fee without it costing them too much, that is the best that most people hope for. One guy, Pete Bennett, whom I helped, wanted to set up a one-stop shop to provide decent images of the world’s flags. He’d been fascinated by flags since his boyhood and had no idea that thousands of other people share his passion. Anyway, in one month his web page had over 1.5 million hits. As a result his internet provider trebled (gấp 3) the fee that he was being charged. He wasn’t a rich person and he couldn’t afford to spend that amount of money on a hobby without any benefit to him, so he decided to carry advertising on his site. He found a company which specializes in smaller sites and adverts were added to the pages on his website. So, although he doesn’t make a huge profit, at least his hobby provides him with a small income. If you have specialist skills or expertise, it can pay you to sell the products that people want. I helped one woman design a page to advertise the fact that she tells fortunes, based on the information that her clients supply her with. If you want her to tell your fortune, you fill in a questionnaire online -- your age, date of birth, hobbies, interests and so on and for a small fee she emails you back your fortune. You can print it out and it looks really good, decorated with moons and stars, your zodiac (hoàng đạo) sign and your birthstone. I tried it myself and although I’m not sure I believe it, my future according to her is positive and exciting. I also found out that for someone born in August, like me, the birthstone is a peridot (đá/ngọc peridot), a pale green stone which I’d never even heard of! I also get a fair number of complaints from people e-mailing me to say that they can’t access the website. When they click on the site a message appears on their screen saying ‘An error has occurred in the script (bản chính) on this page’. This usually happens when someone has tried to achieve fancy effects on their website by using programming techniques based on a scripting language. This means that unless they really know what they are doing, whoever designed the site has probably made a mistake in their programming. This is where people like me come in. Most computer instruction guides make things appear quite straightforward, but unless you’re very skilled, you’re likely to run into problems. It’s generally worth getting a professional to help you set up your site in the first place -- otherwise people like me would be out of work. And let’s face it, this is big business. 55.
