READING:
Exercise 1: Read the passage and answer the questions below by choosing A,B,C or D
Most people agree that pop music started (1) in the US in the 1950s and that it developed from black
American music. When it started, it was especially for young people (2). In many countries, they liked
listening to it and dancing to it because it was exciting and it was a way of rebelling against their parents’
generation. Many parents strongly disapproved of it. They disliked the way many pop stars looked and acted.
They thought the music was rubbish and the group couldn’t sing or play their instrument properly. They said
that pop music wouldn’t last long.
Today, attitudes are different. Many of today’s parents are people who loved music when they were young
and still do (3). As a result of this, pop music is no longer for the young (4). In addition, some of the stars
whose careers began a long time ago and who are now middle–aged are just as popular today as they were
then. Their original fans still like them, perhaps because they remind them of when they were young. At the
same time, new generations of young people buy their records and go to their concerts. So pop music was not
just a brief fashion. All these years later, it is more popular than ever.
1. The passage is about________.
a. the origin of pop music.
b. the history of pop music
c. people who loved pop music
d. middle–aged pop stars and their careers

2. Pop music was especially for the young because _______
a. it made the young rebel against their parents’ generation
b. many parents found it good for
their children
c. most of its listeners were young people
d. it was exciting
3. Why the attitudes towards pop music are different now?
a. Because parents don’t dislike pop music as much as they used to.
b. Because today’s parents are people who loved music when they were young and they still do.
c. Today’s pop stars can play their instrument properly.
d. All are correct
4. Which of these sentences is not true?
a. Many parents didn’t approve of pop music.
b. Pop music is just for the young.
c. Some pop stars whose careers began a long time ago are still popular.
d. Pop stars were thought to be unable to sing or play their instruments properly.
5. What does “BRIEF” in “So pop music was not just a brief fashion” mean?
a. small
b. right
c. short–term d. out of date
6. It can be inferred from the text that pop music ___________
a. has become more and more exciting. b. has made older people like it.
c. has more fans than ever.
d. is just a brief fashion.
Exercise 2: Read the passage below and choose the correct answer:
Jazz originated in the southern United States after the Civil War. It began as the musical expression of
black people (2) who had formerly been slaves, combining hymns, spiritual, and traditional work songs into
a new form. The style was a blend of the rhythms brought to America by the Africans who were imported as
slave labor and the popular music of the era that featured the ragtime piano.
The term (thuật ngữ) jazz itself is of obscure, and possibly nonmusical origin, but it was first used to

describe this particular kind of musical expression in about 1915.
Improvisation has always been one of the primary elements of jazz. While one instrument, often the trumpet,
plays the melody, another instrument, usually the clarinet, embellishes and invents compatible melodies
around the original theme. Such improvisation is the test of the jazz musician’s skill.
A jazz band commonly includes four to twelve musicians with a relatively large proportion of the group in the
rhythm section. There are a drummer, a bass player, and a pianist. Often there is also a banjo player or
guitarist. In traditional jazz, the clarinet, trumpet, and trombone carry the melody, but in more modern jazz,
the saxophone, violin, and flute may also be included in the melody section. Some jazz bands employ a blues
singer.
Jazz first became popular outside the South in the 1920s, when jazz band began to record, distribute, and
even export their recordings to Europe. Since jazz is improvisational, it does not exist in the form of printed
scores, and recorded performances were and still are the best way of preserving the music. A very basic
5


library of recorded jazz would include work by such classic artists as Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong,
Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Billie Holiday. Theirs is probably America’s most unique and most
important contribution to the musical world, although there are a few contemporary artists who are keeping
the tradition alive.

1. With which of the following topics the passage primarily concerned?
A. The History of jazz

Exercise 3: Read the passage and answer the questions below by choosing A,B,C or D
A Stradivarius violin is unmatched in tonal quality and responds more quickly and easily to the touch than
any other violins. Unfortunately, the secrets for making such a superb instrument were lost in 1737 with the
death of Antonio Stradivarius, the master craftsman who built them. Many attempts have been made to
reproduce an instrument of such quality, but all have failed. It is believed that the secret lies in the wood that
was used and the distinctive varnish, which ranges from orange to a deep reddish–brown color. Only around
650 Stradivarius violins are believed to be in existence today, and the price for such a rare instrument is well
in the hundreds of dollars. Even a cheap Stradivarius costs around a quarter million dollars. It is not
surprising that a Stradivarius is sought after by great violinists and musical instrument collectors alike.

a. the unknown secrets for making a Stradivarius
b. the history of Stradivarius

c. the preciousness of a Stradivarius

a. age and number

c. tone and response
d. orange to reddish–brown color

d. 100,000
4. According to the passage, a Stradivarius that costs a quarter million dollars is ____

c. a cheap reproduction
d. an inexpensive one
5. Which sentence is not true?
a. When Antonio Stradivarius died, the secrets for making a Stradivarius were lost.
b. People have failed to produce an instrument which is as good as a Stradivarius.
c. The secret lies in the wood that was used and the distinctive varnish.
d. Hundreds of thousands is the approximate price of any Stradivarius.
Exercise 4: Read the passage below and choose the correct answer:
A music competition is an event in which people compete for prizes by performing music. Music
competitions can be for solo performers or for small or large groups such as orchestras, bands or choirs.
Some competitions are for young people who are starting to make a professional career in music. Other
music competitions may be for amateurs, which means that professional musicians are not allowed to
compete. (1)
The person who decides who is the winner is called the adjudicator.(2) Some big festivals have a team
of several adjudicators who decide together on the winner.
6

The British and International Federation of Music Festivals organizes music competitions for amateurs in
many parts of the British Isles. Children and adults can take part, competing in classes for music, speech and
drama and dance. Competitions like these are often called
“festivals” because the main reason for
taking part is to enjoy performing rather than just to win. (3)
There are many big international competitions for some of the most talented musicians from all over the
world. Winning a big competition can help a young musician to start a successful career. Some people think
it can also be a bad thing to win a big competition, especially for musicians who are still very young. It may
make them a star for a short time but they still have to get better and mature as a musician and a person.
1. Who are not allowed to compete in competitions for amateurs?
A. Young musicians
B. Old musicians
C. Professional musicians D. Famous musicians
2. The adjudicator is ________________.
A. the winner in a competition
B. the loser in a competition
C. the person who observes the competition
D. the person who decides who is the winner
3. Why are some music competitions called “festivals”?
A. Because many competitors want to get enjoyment rather than to win.
B. Because there are many competitors in each music competition.
C. Because they are well-organized.
D. Because people of all ages can take part in the competitions.
4. The word “talented” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _____________.
A. clever
B. gifted: năng khiếu
C. disabled
D. wealthy

5. Why is it sometimes bad for young musicians to win a big competition?
A. Because they get too little money.
B. Because they can be a star for a short time.
C. Because they can think they are the best and don’t learn more.
D. Because they still grow up and can play better.
