Read the following passage on transport, and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to rach of the question from 34 to 43.

[Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road] (34). Some of these are made on public transport but most are by private car.

In Britain many peaple rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g. getting to work,doing the shopping, and visting friends. [People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy] (35) and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car. Some places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but to rely on their cars.

[In the US large cities have good public transportation systems] (36). The El railroad in Chicago and the underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used. Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars. Families often have two cars and, outside major cities, have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, banks, ect. [Many college and even high-school students have their own cars] (37).

Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most towns and cities. Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at

their own convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam. Long – distance coach/ bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less comfortable. Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for businees reasons, may be by air. There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to and from London. A lot of freight is also distributed by road, [though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail] (39).

[In the US much long-distance travel is by air. America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by road] (40).

[The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and pollution] (41). It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years, making both these problems worse. [The British govetnment would like more people to use public transport, but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours. Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough] (42). Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom. Pestrol/ gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities pulblic transport is bad, so they see no reason to ues their car less.

(extracted from Oxford Guide to British and American Culure, Oxford University Press, 2000)

A. Few college students in the US have their own cars

B. The underground systems are popular in some major US cities.

C. Most Americans prefers to drive their cars outside large cities.

D. Families in the US often have more than one car.

Question 38: The phrase “at their own convenience” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________

A.at an early time and nearby place B. at the fastest time and nearest place

C. at the latest time and nearest place D. at an appropriate time and place

* at somebody’s convenience (IDM): đúng lúc đúng chỗ

A. Trains are usually cheaper than long-distance coach services.

B. There are no regular flights between regional airports.

C. Heavier items and raw materials are often transported by train.

Question 40: According to the information in paragraph 5, long-distance travellers in the US can choose from ______ mode(s) of transport.

A.speeding and bad roads B. drink-driving and traffic jams

C. traffic jams and pollution D. accidents and pollution

Question 42: According to the passage, people in Britain refuse public transport because _______

Read the following passage on architecture by Lawrence B. Anderson, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to








Groups: Member



indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 53.

[Architecture is the practice of building design and its resulting products; customary usage refers only to those designs and structures that are culturally significant] (44). Architecture is to building as literature is to the printed word. Vitruvius, a 1st –century BC Roman, wrote encyclopedically about architecture, and the English poet Sir Henry Wotton was quoting him in his charmingly phrased dictum: “Well building hath three conditions: Commoditie, Firmenes, and Delight.” More prosaically, one would say today that architecture must satisfy its intended uses, must be technically sound, and must convey aesthetic meaning. [But the best buildings are often so well constructed that they outlast their original use. They then survive not only as beautiful objects, but as documents of the history of cultures] (46), achievements in architecture that testify to the nature of the society that produced them. These achievements are never wholly the work of individuals. Architecture is a social art.

Architectural form is inevitably influenced by the technologies applied, [but building technology is conservative and knowledge about it is cumulative] (48 ). Precast concrete, for instance, has not rendered brick obsolete. [Although design and construction have become highly sophisticated and are often computer directed, this complex apparatus rests on preindustrial traditions inherited from millennia during which most structures were lived in by the people who erected them. The technical demands on building remain the elemental ones – to exclude enemies, to circumvent gravity, and to avoid discomforts caused by an excess of heat or cold or by the intrusion of rain, wind, or vermin. This is no trivial assignment even with the best modern technology] (50).

The availability of suitable materials fostered the crafts to exploit them and influenced the shapes of building. Large areas of the world were once forested, and their inhabitants developed carpentry. Although it has become relatively scarce, timber remains an important building material.

Many kinds of stone lend themselves to building. [Stone and marble were chosen for important monuments because they are incombustible and can be expected to endure] (51). Stone is also a sculptural material; stone architecture was often integral with stone sculpture. [The use of stone has declined, however, because a number of other materials are more amenable to industrial use and assembly] (52).

Some regions lack both timber and stone; their peoples used the earth itself; tamping certain mixtures into walls or forming them into brick to be dried in the sun. Later they baked these substances in kilns, producing a range of bricks and tiles with greater durability.

(Extracted form Microsoft® Encarta® 2009 Encyclopedia – DVD version)

Question 44: According to passage, the term “architecture” is normally used to refer to the designs and structures that have ______.

A. religious significance B. social importance

C. technical importance D. cultural significance

Question 45: Which of the following is NOT considered an essential characteristic of architecture according to the passage?

A. Strength B. Utility C. Economy D. Beauty

Question 46: When well-constructed buildings exist longer than their original use, they serve as ______.

A. monuments to ancient time heroes B. museums and exhibition galleries

C. witnesses to major ancient wars D. witnesses to their historical times

Question 47: The author use the phrase “social art” in the first paragraph to emphasise that architecture is an _______.

A. art that belongs to a society B. art that is very much socialised

C. achievement of many people D. achievement of many sociologists

Question 48: According to the passage, knowledge about building technology_______.

A. is always influenced by a wide range of technological applications

B. has experienced complete changes for generations

C. is based on modern technologies rather than traditions

D. includes the experience gained from generation to generation

A. out of date B. out of place C. out of order D. out of hand

* obsolete: lỗi thời
