5/49


Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating

without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The

basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as,

for example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for

communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in

and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently.

Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate

relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater

provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking

also communicate certain cultural messages.

Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage in

communication. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacentto the receiver. Without an exchange of ideas, interaction comes to a halt. As a result, means of

communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods must be based upon speech.

To radio, television, and the telephone, one must add fax, paging systems, electronic mail, and the

Internet, and no one doubts but that there are more means of communication on the horizon.

Question 45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Gestures B. Signs and signals C. Speech D. Communication

Question 46. What does the author say about speech?

A. It is dependent upon the advances made by inventors.

B. It is the most advanced form of communication.

C. It is necessary for communication to occur.

D. It is the only true form of communication.

Question 47. According to the passage, what is a signal?

A. A form of communication that interrupts the environment.

B. The most difficult form of communication to describe.

C. A form of communication which may be used across long distances.

D. The form of communication most related to cultural perception.

Question 48. The phrase “impinge upon” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.

A. prohibit B. intrude C. vary D. improve

Question 49. The word “it” in paragraph refers to ________.


6/49


A. way B. environment C. function D. signal

Question 50. The word “potential” in paragraph 1 could be replaced by _______.

A. advantage B. possibility C. organization D. range

Question 51. The word “intricate” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _______.

A. inefficient B. complicated C. historical D. uncertain

Question 52. Applauding was cited as an example of _______.

A. a signal B. a sign C. a gesture D. a symbol

Question 53. Why were the telephone, radio, and television invented?

A. Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols.

B. Because people wanted to communicate across long distances.

C. Because people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete.

D. Because people wanted new forms of communication.Question 54. It may be concluded from this passage that_______.

A. only some cultures have signs, signals, and symbols

B. signs, signals, symbols, and gestures are forms of communication

C. symbols are very easy to define and interrupt

D. waving and handshaking are not related to culture



A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many households,

despite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey of 1,256 people ages between 18

and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37% of the total housework, while the women

estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70%. This ratio was not affected by whether the

woman was working or not.

When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt that

housework should be shared equally between male and female partners. Women who did not work

outside the home were satisfied to perform 80% - the majority of the household work – if their

husbands did remainder. Research has shown that, if levels increase beyond these percentages,

women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant.

After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for

men the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labor becomes unbalanced, as a man’s share


7/49


increases much less than the woman’s. It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the actual number of

hours, which leads to anxiety and depression. The research describes housework as thankless and

unfulfilling. Activities included in the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing

up and childcare. Women who have jobs report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to

their professional duties. In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work

when the children grow up. Distress for this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the marriage.

In cases where men perform most of the housework, results were similar. The men also became

depressed by the imbalance of labor. The research showed that the least distressed people are those who

have equal share, implying that men could perform significantly more chores and even benefit from

this. The research concludes “Everybody benefits from sharing the housework. Even for women

keeping house, a share division of labor is important. If you decide to stay at home to raise the children,

you don’t want to become the servant of the house”.Question 55. The word remainder in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______ .

A. what is done B. what is fulfilled C. what is left D. what is share

Question 56. Although women think men should share the housework, those who don’t have paid job

agree to share ______ of the chores.

A. 14% B. 37% C. 70% D. 80%

Question 57. After getting married, ______ .

A. women have a bigger house B. men do more housework

C. men do less housework D. women do twice as much housework

Question 58. Working women ______ .

A. want their partners to do an equal share B. are anxious and depressed

C. do 80% of the household D. would prefer not to have a job

Question 59. Women who do not have a job become depressed ______ .

A. if they have to do more than half of the housework

B. because they have no respect

C. when their husbands do not help them

D. if their husbands do 20% of the chores

Question 60. The word norm in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______ .

A. changing thing B. strange thing C. usual thing D. unequal thing

Question 61. According to the passage, a good relationship is the one in which ______ .

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 campaigns presidential

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 news 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’sunderlying feelings and reasons. However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and

more consistent.

A. The importance of polls in American political life

B. The principles of conducting surveys

C. Problems associated with interpreting surveys

D. The history of surveys in North AmericaQuestion 46: The word "they" in line 7 refers to ______.

17/49


Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in

the fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring, and

summer quarters. The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven

weeks each beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter, June to August, is

composed of shorter sessions of vary length.

There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side, students

who wish to complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of

the opportunity to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters. In addition, although most

students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any other

quarters. Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used

effectively to serve the greatest number of students. But there are several disadvantages as well.

Many faculty complain that eleven-week term is simply not enough for them to cover the material

required by most college coursed. Students also find it difficult to complete the assignments in such

a short period of time.

In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some

colleges and universities have instituted a three-term trimester system. In fourteen weeks, faculty

and students have more time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional

term provides options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those

students who wish to graduate early.

Question 55: Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A. The Quarter System B. The Academic Year

C. Universities in the United States D. The Semester System

Question 56: A semester system ______.

A. gives students the opportunity to study year round

B. has two major sessions a year C. Isn’t very popular in the United States

D. has eleven-week sessions

A. Two regular terms and two summer terms B. Four regular terms and one summer term

C. One regular term and four summer terms D. Three regular terms and one summer term

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

Telecommunicating is a form of computer communication between employees’ homes and

offices. For employees whose jobs involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or

typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate

over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer from a

distant site and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates

that there are approximately 8.7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are risingannually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published

"The Portable Executive" as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn't telecommuting become

more popular?

Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of

many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force

scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not

yet developed, thereby complicating the manager's responsibilities.

It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are often reluctant to accept

the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are

concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more

visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a

work area, they never really get away from the office.

EXCEPT_____ .

A. the lack of interaction with a group B. the different system of supervision

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

The three phases of the human memory are the sensory memory, the short-term memory, and the

long-term memory. This division of the memory into phases is based on the length of time of the

memory.

Sensory memory is instantaneous memory. It is an image or memory that enters your mind only

for a short period of time; it comes and goes in under a second. The memory will not last longer

than that unless the information enters the short-term memory.

Information can be held in the short-term memory for about twenty seconds or as long as you are

actively using it. If you repeat a fact to yourself, that fact will stay in your short-term memory as

long as you keep repeating it. Once you stop repeating it, either it is forgotten or it moves into long

term memory.

Long-term memory is the huge memory tank that can hold ideas and images for years and years.

Information can be added to your long-term memory when you actively try to put it there through

memorization or when an idea or image enters your mind on its own.

Câu 66: The best title for this passage would be ______.

One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of

wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C . Despite its antiquity,

certain aspects of its construction makes it one of the truly wonders of the world. The thirteen- acre

structure near the Nile river is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the

number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber of the Pharaoh. It is the largest single

structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south,

east and west-an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshippers and great

astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.

Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting

lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events – past, present and future. . Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known

facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under investigation.

Robert Capa

1. Robert Capa is a name that has for many years been synonymous with war photography.

2. Born in Hungary in 1913 as Friedmann Endre Ernő, Capa was forced to leave his native country

after his involvement in anti government protests. Capa had originally wanted to become a writer,

but after his arrival in Berlin had first found work as a photographer. He later left Germany and

moved to France due to the rise in Nazism. He tried to find work as a freelance journalist and it was

here that he changed his name to Robert Capa, mainly because he thought it would sound more

American.

3. In 1936, after the breakout of the Spanish Civil war, Capa went to Spain and it was here over the

next three years that he built his reputation as a war photographer. It was here too in 1936 that he

took one of his most famous pictures, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier . One of Capa’s most famous

quotes was 'If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.' And he took his attitude of

getting close to the action to an extreme. His photograph, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier is a prime


41/49

VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí example of this as Capa captures the very moment the soldier falls. However, many have questioned

the authenticity of this photograph, claiming that it was staged.

4. When World war II broke out, Capa was in New York, but he was soon back in Europe covering

the war for Life magazine. Some of his most famous work was created on 6th June 1944 when he

swam ashore with the first assault on Omaha Beach in the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Capa,

armed only with two cameras, took more than one hundred photographs in the first hour of the

landing, but a mistake in the darkroom during the drying of the film destroyed all but eight frames.

It was the images from these frames however that inspired the visual style of Steven Spielberg's

Oscar winning movie ‘Saving Private Ryan’. When Life magazine published the photographs, they

claimed that they were slightly out of focus, and Capa later used this as the title of his

autobiographical account of the war.5. Capa’s private life was no less dramatic. He was friend to many of Hollywood’s directors, actors

and actresses. In 1943 he fell in love with the wife of actor John Austin. His affair with her lasted

until the end of the war and became the subject of his war memoirs. He was at one time lover to

actress Ingrid Bergman. Their relationship finally ended in 1946 when he refused to settle in

Hollywood and went off to Turkey.
