Bài 7 - 7Read the following passage on architecture by Lawrence B. Anderson, and mark the letter A, B, C, or
D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 67 to 75. Architecture is
the practice of building design and its resulting products; customary usage refers only to those designs and
structures that are culturally significant. 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, 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. 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.
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. 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.
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.
Câu 1 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
Câu 2 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
Câu 3 Which of the following factors must be taken into account in both ancient and modern architecture
according to the information in paragraph 2?
A. Basic needs and the availability of materials B. Fundamental technical demands on building
C. Sophisticated building technologies D. Basic safety rules in the building industry
Câu 4 According to the passage, today stone has been used less as a building material because__.
A. there have been other more suitable materials for industrial use
B. stone architecture is essential to the number of stone sculptures.
C. it has less influence on the shapes of buildings and sculptures
D. it has become relatively scarce and more difficult to exploit

Bài 8 - 8Read the following passage on architecture by Lawrence B. Anderson, and mark the letter A, B, C, or
D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 76 to 80.

children’ s language development. It is surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big
difference in the children’s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what
the parent is reading, the child’s language skills increase. A study was done with two or three-year-old children
and their parents. Half of the thirty children participants were in the experimental study; the other half acted as
the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in whichthey
were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-no questions. For example, the parent should ask,
“What is the doggy doing?” rather than, “Is the doggy running away?” Experimental parents were also
instructed how to expand on their children’ s answer, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise
correct answers.
At the beginning of the study , the children did not differ on levels of language development, but at the end
of one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of
verbal expression and vocabulary . Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an
advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.
